Human beings are really cunning, how can I submit to them? After all, I am the 19th on the spiritual flame ranking. To be refined by humans like this is truly frustrating. But now, even accepting the reality doesn't help, I cannot escape. The ultimate result is still to be refined.
Mo Wenjie looked at the Heart-Essence Fire and didn't feel arrogant anymore. He really thought that he couldn't handle you, but to be refined by you, then leave here.
Mo Wenjie sat cross-legged, beginning to refine it.
The Heart-Essence Fire of the Earth's Core was not a compliant subject either; this endless battle really enraged Mo Wenjie. He cast a spell on the Heart-Essence Fire, then his spiritual consciousness entered it, and if it did not submit, he would directly suppress it beneath the ice for ten thousand years.
Upon hearing this, the Heart-Essence Fire finally calmed down. It was truly afraid of being suppressed by the ten-thousand-year ice, and in a short while, it would dissipate completely, wasting centuries of effort. It would be better to submit to him and let him refine it. No, no, no, I won't submit! Let him refine it!
Mo Wenjie then began to refine the Heart-Essence Fire of the Earth's Core. It was unclear how long it had taken, but when the disciples of the Martial Soul Pavilion saw Mo Wenjie containing that ball of flames, they knew that they had no ability to take away that fire. They all left in good faith.
Only Qingxia waited beside him slowly.
After Mo Wenjie finished refining the Heart-Essence Fire of the Earth's Core, he suddenly felt as though he was about to breakthrough. He hastily sat cross-legged and began to break through his realm. After several cycles of adjusting breath and running internal force, a loud boom resounded from within his Dan Tian realm. He successfully advanced to the Late-Stage of the Grand Realm. After stabilizing his realm, he left with Qingxia.
Qingxia looked at Mo Wenjie. "Master, where should we go now?"
Mo Wenjie pondered for a moment. If we return to the Kunlun Realm, we will certainly reach the peak of the Grand Realm and be able to pass through tribulations and ascend to heaven in no time. However, there are still many things that have not been solved, and my brothers are all getting older. I need to help them deal with all these troubles so that I can calmly pass through tribulations and ascend to heaven. We should return to the capital now.
Mo Wenjie and Qingxia arrived at the capital through instant teleports.
Mo Wenjie looked at Qi Rongguang. "Third Brother, I am now at the late stage of the Grand Realm and will soon have to pass through tribulations and ascend. I hope to help you solve all your troubles during this time, so that my brothers no longer have worries. I wonder, Third Brother, what matters do you need me to take care of?"
Qi Rongguang listened to Mo Wenjie's words and looked at him. "Master Brother, first, we need to promote the prosperity of the Jade Dragon Gate. You must find a suitable successor, and then solve each problem one by one."
Mo Wenjie nodded, "Rest assured, Third Brother. I will find a suitable successor and inform the brothers as soon as possible."
Qi Rongguang smiled and nodded, "This is our shared wish, and it's also the wish of our elders."
Mo Wenjie smiled and asked, "Is there anything else, Third Brother, that needs me to take care of right now?"
Qi Rongguang smiled and waved his hand. "At the moment, there is indeed nothing that needs your intervention. How about you go and find a successor?"
Mo Wenjie nodded, "Then I'll wander the four quarters. Inform me if there's anything."
Qi Rongguang smiled and said, "Go on your journey, little brother. I won't disturb you unless there's a special situation."
Mo Wenjie left Qi Rongguang's office with Qingxia.
Qingxia giggled, "Master, I think if we wander the four quarters and live like a beggar monk, constantly moving from place to place with instant teleports, then wouldn't that lose the meaning of wandering?"
Mo Wenjie chuckled, "Then let's travel the famous mountains and rivers like taking a long-distance bus."
Mo Wenjie and Qingxia boarded a long-distance bus to start their journey.
Guys, look at that girl; she's incredibly beautiful. I've never seen such a stunning woman before. If I can win her over and give her to the big boss, there's no doubt about the rewards. Maybe when the big boss gets tired of her, he might even let us have some fun with her.
Hou San, you can't help but feel drawn to her. Even I can't help but feel the same way. But now it's during a crackdown, and if we mess up, the big boss won't protect us. It's best to leave it alone!
Fang Xiaoguang, your courage is too small. Although it's currently under crackdown, we can get off the bus at the village behind the mountain. Even if someone reports it to the police, by the time they arrive, we'll be back on our own turf. What's there to be afraid of?
Wu Xing, what should we do? Should we take this on, or not? We four can handle that man. We can take him along and throw him into the deep mountains and forests. Whether he survives is up to his fate, and if he dies, it's his misfortune.
Hou San made the first move and said, "This matter is settled. If anyone dares to resist, we'll scare them first, and if that doesn't work, we'll use force."
Wu Xing also spoke up and said, "I also support Hou San's decision. Let's do it!"
While they were secretly discussing, Mo Wenjie and Qingxia heard every word clearly.
Mo Wenjie chuckled, "Looks like there are quite a few Xu Xians around."
Qingxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "You better watch out. I'll get you someday, and I'll make you feel very happy."
Mo Wenjie acted out a pitiful expression, "Please, big sister, have mercy on me!"
Qingxia giggled and said, "Heaven has its own justice. Who can escape its wrath. Why should I forgive you?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qingxia, "Shout out, you're quite a whiz with words. You're even able to put things together in a sentence!"
Qingxia giggled and said, "If I can't learn anything from you, I might as well just hit myself with a block of tofu and die!"
In front, there were a couple of young people sitting, and it looked like they were a couple.
The man said, "Look at that, that's romantic. That's what it's all about when you go out to have fun. It's great to joke around and have a little squabble between the two of you. What's the point of going out if you don't even say a word the whole time?"
The woman still didn't say a word.
Mo Wenjie didn't want to argue with Qingxia anymore. It was affecting the couple's feelings.
They both began to close their eyes and meditate. After nearly an hour, the four of them suddenly stood up and shouted, "Don't move! This is a robbery!"
The people on the bus were startled by this sudden loud noise, and they all looked towards the four bandits.
Hou San cursed angrily, "Give us your money! What are you looking at? Have you ever seen such a handsome man before?"
At the mention of the words, everyone in the carriage almost vomited collectively. You dare to call yourself handsome? You've got a broomstick brow, a triangular eye, a pitted face covering your cheeks, and a dog's nose that's just a bit large. Your mouth is big enough to be an umbrella, and you're really some sort of 'handsome' guy. Everyone in the carriage would have liked to skin him alive, but unfortunately he had a weapon in his hand. Otherwise, no one would know how he died.
Mo Wenjie laughed loudly upon hearing this. "You're not ugly by choice, but you shouldn't scare people by doing evil things."
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. "That's right, young man. Demons don't need makeup, and he's definitely the best among the best."
Hou San threatened the passengers with a knife, demanding they hand over their money.
Mo Wenjie looked at Hou San and said, "You're ugly already, and then you're also stupid. How many people still carry cash these days? Everyone is using mobile payments. Even if you steal their phones now, without the password, what good will it do you?"
At this moment, Hou San no longer wanted money. He told his accomplices to threaten the driver with their knives and asked the bus to pull over. Then he pointed at Qingxia and said, "Get off the bus!" After that, he looked at the other women and thought, "Since we're not going to get any money today, let's go for it. Let's just rape them." He quickly pointed at several women and said, "All of you get off the bus!"
Qingxia descended from the bus with a cheerful smile, which left everyone bewildered. Isn't that the girlfriend of that young man? How can she be so happy to be robbed? Could she be in cahoots with the robbers? It's such a waste to have such a beautiful girl as a robber.
The male partners of the other women were too afraid to say anything.
Mo Wenjie looked at Hou San and said, "Your ancestors were indeed handsome, but your genes have changed too quickly. You and the Neanderthals are definitely close relatives."
Hou San looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "How do you know that? That's what they all say. Brother, you really have a good eye for things."
Mo Wenjie rubbed his forehead in disbelief and said, "I really can't believe you. Your skin is so thick that it can resist nuclear weapons. Your parents must be very proud of you. It's a shame!"
Hou San now realized that Mo Wenjie was mocking him, "Kid, you're asking for trouble. Do you think I'm going to kill you?"
Mo Wenjie shook his head, "I don't believe you. If you want to kill me, you'll have to think it through first."
Hou San laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Little brother, do you know that Fan Ge is here? Luofeng Mountain is an expert who controls an area of a hundred miles. We are his disciples. If you don't want to die, you'd better listen to us. Otherwise, when my brother comes, no one will be able to escape."
Mo Wenjie chuckled and said, "We'll wait for him. We're definitely not going to escape. You'd better let your big brother know right away. I really want to talk to your Fan Ge and see how he manages to eat his food in front of you."
Wu Xing saw that Mo Wenjie was not afraid of them at all. "Third Brother, this kid seems like a martial artist or maybe a veteran. He's not afraid of us four at all. Let's notify the big boss and the other brothers."
Hou San nodded and took out his phone to call Fan Ge, "Brother, hurry! There's a girl here too attractive. I can guarantee you've never seen anyone like her in your life. Come quickly to the same place. It seems that this time's people are not afraid of us. Bring the brothers over as soon as possible."
Hou San hung up the phone and said to Mo Wenjie, "Little brother, you'd better prepare to die. Our big brother is on his way with people. Soon, you'll be scared."
Mo Wenjie looked at Hou San, "Is your big boss very powerful, right?"
Hou San proudly extended his thumb, "Our big boss is the most powerful in a hundred miles around here. You're too late now. You should regret it. This is what happens when you mess with me. From now on, be a good little baby and listen to us."
Mo Wenjie almost burst into laughter at this, "You're nothing but a piece of shit. How dare you say I'm arrogant? You're really a bastard without any sense of justice."
At this moment, a burly man in his forties with a face full of stubble approached Hou San. "What's going on? Do you have to bring the whole crew for a robbery? This will be a disaster for me if it gets out."
Hou San pointed at Mo Wenjie and said, "That's our big brother. He not only doesn't cooperate but also dares to insult me and you."
Fan Ge looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "Young man, what's your background? Tell me your gang and the name of your big boss. If you're a brother from the hundreds of miles around, I won't be too harsh on you. But if not, don't blame me for being cruel."
Mo Wenjie chuckled and said, "I used to be called the Eighth Route Army, then the Liberation Army, and now the People's Liberation Army. My big boss is the king of Long Country. I wonder if he's bigger than your mountain faction?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. "This kid is really funny. He must be a soldier. That's why he's not afraid of them."
The robbers were all so angry that they were boiling with rage.
Fan Ge, in a fury, took out a knife and said, "You're asking for it, kid. Don't think just because you were in the army that you're untouchable. I'll tell you, it's not going to be easy for you to leave here alive today."
Mo Wenjie smiled faintly and said, "You idiot, call the police first and then the ambulance. Otherwise, you'll be begging for death. Better get ready in advance!"
The robbers burst into laughter upon hearing this. "This kid is too arrogant. I can't stand it anymore. I must make him pay a heavy price, or else I wouldn't be living up to my reputation as a robber."
Wu Xing charged forward, his knife aimed at Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie didn't seem interested in fighting these local hoodlums. He just stepped on the ground and a stone shot into the air, directly piercing Wu Xing's arm. The knife clattered to the ground, and Wu Xing's arm couldn't be raised anymore. He let out a painful scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Everyone present was too scared to breathe. "Is this even a human? He hasn't even moved a finger, just stomp his foot, and the guy is already done for."
Fan Ge was so terrified that he could hardly breathe. "What the hell are we waiting for! Get out of here fast!"
