Bai Zhankui listened to Mo Wenjie's words and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He believed that Mo Wenjie would not let them go today, so he didn't say anything. He had already come to the conclusion that if he kept talking, it would be meaningless and might even make people look down on him!
Tong Dewei, Gao Zhongren, and Ren QiJun watched as Baixiaobing scratched himself bloody, and they began to fear. How could this Mow Wenjie be so cruel? How could he do this to Baixiaobing? If he treats Baixiaobing like this, that means the same will happen to us. We can't stand such torture. What should we do? We must find a way for our grandfathers to save us! The three of them looked at the grandfathers lying on the ground together and shouted in unison: Grandpa, please save us! We don't want this! This is too cruel!
Tong Xiaohai, Gao Ming, and Ren Zhong helplessly shook their heads. "It's not that we don't want to save you, it's that we are also powerless at the moment. As you saw just now, he didn't even give Bai Zhankui face. How could he possibly give us face? It seems our faces are also of no value here. Our only hope now is for the Domain Master to come here quickly. Only he can save us. If the Domain Master arrives in time, he definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to you. But if he can't make it in time, then things become uncertain, and we are also powerless. Of course, we feel very sorry for you all and don't want to see you suffer, but what can we do about it?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Tong Dewei, Gao Zhongren, and Ren QiJun. It's now your turn, Wang Mow said, as he lifted his hands and let out nine silver needles like fairies scattering flowers, straight at the three of you!
Tong Dewei, Gao Zhongren, and Ren QiJun suddenly felt itching unbearably. They wanted to peel their own skins off. Even so, they couldn't stand the itching and started scratching desperately!
Tong Xiaohai, Gao Ming, and Ren Zhong, seeing their grandchildren in such distress, glared fiercely at Mo Wenjie and said: "You brat, quickly relieve the suffering on our grandsons. Otherwise, we will not rest until you are dead. If you say you must fight us to the end, by the time the Domain Master arrives, he will definitely cut you into pieces. Think it over, young man! Don't be stubborn!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head and said with a grin, "I'm stubborn. What can you do to me? If you dare to mess around, I'll take care of all of you right now!"
Young man, don't be so angry. Let's sit down and talk things out peacefully. There's no need to resort to violence. In the Double Heaven, everything can be resolved peacefully. Violence won't solve the root problem. Please listen to my old man's advice and discuss things properly. What do you think? An old man spoke up from behind Mo Wenjie!
Mo Wenjie turned around and saw an old man. Without needing to think, he knew who it was, so he didn't immediately reply. He just looked at the old man and said, "You came pretty quickly, huh? There's nothing to discuss about this matter. I know who you are, and I also know what I'm doing. I'm protecting your interests and your reputation. If you think what I'm doing is unnecessary, well, we can have a fight too. You win, and you tell me what to do; I win, and you don't get to tell me what not to do. What do you think? Are you willing to bet with me?"
The elderly man, listening to Mo Wenjie's words, burst into a hearty laugh. "Young man, you have quite the clever ideas. I never expected you to be so cunning. It seems I'll need to be careful when dealing with you in the future, lest I fall into your trap!" The elderly man's smile faded and his eyes grew sharper. "Alright, as you wish. A battle it is. But an old man like me hasn't fought in a long time, so you must be careful." Mo Wenjie snorted coldly and prepared for battle. In an instant, the atmosphere around them surged with energy as streams of air whistled past.
Mo Wenjie struck first, his figure moving like lightning towards the old man, with a fierce punch wind. The old man, however, was not in a hurry. He easily sidestepped the attack and simultaneously flicked out a surge of spiritual energy. Mo Wenjie felt a strong force coming his way and hurriedly mobilized his own cultivation to block it. After several rounds, the two were still evenly matched.
Mo Wenjie's heart secretly shocked. The old man was indeed formidable. He had to use his ultimate move now. He activated all his spiritual energy and rapidly formed hand seals, muttering incantations in the process. A dazzling light beam gathered in his hands, forming a sword shape. The old man saw this and his expression grew serious. He changed his footwork, and a golden shield appeared around him.
At that very moment, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from the sky, followed by an authoritative voice: "Is it that you don't respect the Domain Master present here to engage in a battle?" Both combatants were startled and their movements came to a halt. The fight could only be temporarily suspended, and they all turned their gazes towards the figure in the sky exuding a formidable aura.
Mo Wenjie muttered to himself, "I'm in trouble," realizing he had mistaken the elderly man for the Domain Master. He hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"
The elderly man smiled slightly, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator. I was just curious about your abilities." Mo Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the Domain Master in the sky.
The Domain Master descended slowly before them, his gaze assessing the two. "You are fighting here and know that you have disturbed the citizens of the city." Mo Wenjie bowed respectfully and said, "Domain Master, I understand my mistake. It was merely a fit of temper that led to this dispute."
The Domain Master nodded slightly, "Since it's your first offense, I will not pursue it this time. But take it as a warning." He then turned to the old man, "Although you claim to be a solitary cultivator, you should not act without restraint." The old man bowed with a clasped fist, "I humbly accept the teachings of the Domain Master."
The old man patted Mo Wenjie's shoulder and said, "Son, today's incident can be considered fate between us. I hope when we meet again, you will have reached a higher level of cultivation." After saying that, the old man vanished into thin air. Mo Wenjie gazed at the direction where the old man had disappeared, clenching his fist and vowing to himself that he would definitely work hard to cultivate.
Mo Wenjie, listening to the Domain Master's words, was very angry. "We disturbed the citizens by fighting, but you didn't say anything about your four grandsons who have been causing trouble to the people?"
The Domain Master, hearing this, stopped in his tracks and his face turned dark instantly. "What are you saying? Do you have any evidence?" Mo Wenjie snorted coldly and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. Those four people, taking advantage of the fact that their grandfathers are your subordinates, were strong-arming young women in the city and behaving however they pleased. The citizens dare not speak out but harbor resentment. As the Domain Master, do you allow such things to happen?" The Domain Master's brows furrowed, and a glimmer of anger flashed in his eyes. "If this is true, I will not spare them." He then asked Bai Zhankui, "Is what he says true?"
Bai Zhankui, Gao Ming, Tong Xiaohai, and Ren Zhong reluctantly nodded. The Domain Master saw this and his anger boiled over, "Daring bandit! How dare you act so brazenly on my territory!" The four evil young men were terrified when they saw the Domain Master really angry. They fell to the ground in fear. The Domain Master coldly snorted and said, "Call for some guards. Take them back to the office and punish them severely. And treat their four accomplices as well." After dealing with this matter, the Domain Master turned to Mo Wenjie and said: "Thank you for telling me the truth. Previously, I wronged you." He then added, "If you encounter injustice in the city in the future, you can come directly to me." Mo Wenjie slightly bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Domain Master, for upholding justice."
Mo Wenjie, Huang Ling'er, and Qin Xiaodie hurriedly set off on their journey. Not long after, they arrived at Xu Shenweng's home. The house looked ordinary but exuded a faint sense of mystery.
Mo Wenjie knocked on the door, and after a moment, it creaked open and a young boy poked his head out. Mo Wenjie stated their business, and the boy led the three of them into the house. Inside, there was a faint aroma of medicine, and Xu Shenweng was sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
Xu Shenweng opened his eyes, looked at Mo Wenjie and the others, and smiled and said: "You have come here, I guess you have something to ask for." Mo Wenjie bowed respectfully and replied: "Senior, I wish to seek a way to enhance my cultivation." Xu Shenweng laughed heartily: "The path to cultivating power lies in self-awareness and coincidental opportunities. However, seeing your pure-hearted and upright nature today, I can give you a spiritual bead to aid your cultivation." He then took out a brilliant bead of light and handed it to Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie took the spiritual bead, feeling a surge of spiritual energy flow into his body through his arm. He hurriedly thanked Xu Shenweng.
At this moment, Huang Ling'er smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Xu, for helping my husband improve his strength. What about my grandmother?" Xu Shenweng was initially taken aback but then laughed loudly. "This little girl is quite talkative. Your grandmother is currently in seclusion in the mountain behind the house. She probably won't be able to see you."
Huang Ling'er pouted, "That's a pity. But I still want to thank Grandpa Xu."
Mo Wenjie also said, "The favor of the senior is something I will always remember in my heart."
Xu Shenweng waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so formal. Although this spiritual bead can aid in cultivation, the path of cultivation is long and arduous, and you still need to explore it yourself."
As they were speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted outside. Looking out, they saw dark clouds gathering in the sky and several black silhouettes hurtling towards them at high speed. Xu Shenweng's expression darkened slightly, "We seem to have unexpected visitors. You three, hide in the inner room."
Mo Wenjie clenched his fists, "Senior, we'd also like to help."
Xu Shenweng shook his head and said, "Your current strength is not enough. Don't be reckless."
Huang Ling'er pulled Mo Wenjie's hand and went inside the inner room, her mind full of worry. She peered through the crack in the door, wondering who had come and what they were there.
Xu Shenweng stood in the courtyard, hands behind his back. After a moment, the black shadows landed in front of him, revealing a group of masked black-robed men. The leader was burly with a menacing gaze.
The masked black-robed man said, "Do you remember me, Xu Shenweng? Years ago, I was defeated by you. It's been decades since then, and I wonder if you can still beat my Black Diamond."
Xu Shenweng coldly laughed and said, "I see, it's you. I spared you back then, but you still don't seem to have learned your lesson. You actually dare to come looking for me."
Black Diamond roared with laughter and said, "Times have changed, and now I have mastered demonic techniques. I must avenge my past defeat." With that, he waved his hands, and the black-robed men behind him launched an all-out assault on Xu Shenweng.
Xu Shenweng's figure flashed, easily dodging the attack. He muttered incantations, and a series of spiritual energy beams shot out from his body, hitting the black-robed men one by one. The black-robed men let out painful screams.
Black Diamond saw this and roared in anger, charging into the fray. His entire body was enveloped in dark demonic aura, and he unleashed a powerful punch with an earth-shattering force. Xu Shenweng remained calm and composed, lifted his hand to form a seal, and a golden shield appeared in front of him, absorbing the blow.
Taking advantage of Black Diamond's surprise, Xu Shenweng pointed his finger and a bolt of lightning struck directly at him. Black Diamond couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the lightning, collapsing to the ground convulsing. The other black-robed men saw this and fled in all directions. Xu Shenweng shook his head lightly and turned to walk back into the house.
