NOVPUBHe quickly looked at the elder beside him and pleaded, "Elder Mo, I beg you to save me."
"This is a private matter of the Blood Nether Holy Sect, I’m not in a good position to interfere," Elder Mo pondered for a moment, then said.
"I have already left the Blood Nether Holy Sect, I am now a member of the Mo Family," Mo Chen quickly said.
"According to the rules of the competition, the first place should indeed be able to join the Mo Family."
Hearing Mo Chen’s words, Elder Mo slightly raised his head and looked around.
This competition had nearly half the city’s residents gathered here.
If it wasn’t handled well, it would certainly give rise to rumors and gossip.
It would be a significant blow to the prestige of the Mo Family.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zimei shouted from behind the crowd, "Keep him here."
After he shouted, his figure stepped through the air, and he appeared on the other side, continuing to shout.
"These people can even kill a little girl; they’re definitely not good people.
Exactly, our Mo Family must not bow to such evil forces.
Where would our Mo Family’s dignity be then?
We must resist to the end.
Let him stay."
As Xu Zimei incited the crowd, the people in the center also started shouting along.
With the shouting growing louder, more people were attracted to the scene.
Seeing the situation, Elder Mo finally said to the man in the blood robe, "Mo Chen has already joined our Mo Family.
I have the authority to protect his safety, I’m sorry but I cannot let you take him away."
"This is an order from the Sect Master," the man from the Blood Nether Holy Sect said indifferently.
"You’re lying, this matter is clearly orchestrated by some elders in private, the higher-ups of the sect gate are totally unaware," Mo Chen shouted from the side.
"If it really is an order from Sect Master Ming, then you should take this matter up with the Family Head of our Mo Family."
Elder Mo replied indifferently, "I am merely upholding the duty of an elder."
Hearing Elder Mo’s words, the man in the blood robe squinted his eyes, an aura of menace radiating from him as he said coldly, "What if we insist on executing him right here?"
"Where do you think you are?" Elder Mo of the Mo Family chuckled lightly.
He casually waved his hand, and hundreds of array plates encircled him.
On these plates, extraordinary visions were revealed: rivers roaring, fierce fires cutting like knives, and ten thousand arrows suspended in the firmament, all looking immensely powerful.
"I will report this matter truthfully to the Sect Master," the man in the blood robe said, his face flushed with embarrassment.
"Let’s go," he then snorted coldly and left the place immediately.
...
Without concerning himself with how things ended, Xu Zimei left with a light laugh and headed straight for the Mo Residence.
In the inner city where the Mo Family was located, two stone lions stood at the front gate of the residence.
They were ordinary stone lions, but they were engraved with formations, making them look as if they had come to life, incredibly lifelike.
"Stop, who are you?"
As Xu Zimei had just walked up to the entrance of the residence, the stone lions on both sides stood up and began to speak.
"I am here to see your Family Head," Xu Zimei said, eyeing the stone lions with interest.
"Is the Family Head someone you can see just like that?" the lion snorted coldly.
"Scram quickly, or I’ll arrest you on the charge of disturbing the residence."
"If you want to speak, speak properly. Do I need to teach you how to be human?" Xu Zimei frowned and said.
"Kid, do you know where you are? It seems like you don’t want to leave," the stone lion stood up, its large claws rolling towards Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei snorted coldly, and spiritual energy swirled around his right fist as he smashed it down.
There was a "boom" sound.
The stone lion instantly turned into powder and dissipated in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, the other stone lion next to it hastily retreated several steps.
It stammered, "Boy, you, you dare make trouble in front of the Mo Residence."
As the stone lion dissipated, the formation inside it collapsed as well.
Xu Zimei glanced at it and saw that the stone lion had not been set up with any particularly clever formation.
Actually, it was controlled by someone, with only a message-transmitting array within.
"What are you doing?" Just then, a voice came from not far away.
A group of people walked towards him in a neat and orderly manner; most of them, by their attire, appeared to be guards and maids.
Leading them was a woman dressed in a Qing Luo long dress; her lips red and teeth white, her long hair tied behind her.
With a slender figure, she also wore a green silk belt around her waist, giving off a particularly pure vibe.
"Second Miss," seeing the woman’s arrival, the stone lion quickly knelt down and said, "This man tried to force his way into the residence and we stopped him.
Then, dissatisfied, he blew up the other stone lion."
The woman turned her head to look at Xu Zimei and asked with a smile, "May I know what brings you here, sir?"
"You believe what he says?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
The woman shook her head, her voice like a skylark in the woods, laughing as she replied, "They are used to being arrogant on normal days.
I suppose there must have been a verbal conflict with you, sir."
"You are quite reasonable," Xu Zimei said with a laugh. "I wish to see the Family Head of the Mo Family."
"Then may I ask if you have any token or such to prove your identity? My father doesn’t meet with just anyone," the woman asked with a light laugh.
"I am the Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect. Tell him that and he will meet with me," Xu Zimei responded.
"True Martial Holy Sect?"
At this, everyone present was taken aback.
With a title like ’Four Emperors,’ the name was indeed too shocking; even for other Imperial Rule Immortal Sects, it was impossible to be proud in its presence.
"So the gentleman is the current Saint Heir of the Holy Sect," the woman smiled and quickly said, "I am Mo Xinyi, my apologies for any rudeness."
"Xu Zimei," Xu Zimei said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Since that’s the case, Young Master Xu, please accompany me inside. I believe my father will be very keen to meet you," Mo Xinyi said with a smile.
As the two of them were about to enter, another voice rang out from the side.
"Hold on a moment."
Everyone turned their heads and saw a man on a white horse slowly stopping at the entrance of the residence.
The man was dressed in a white shirt, with a face as handsome as jade, and his eyes carried a smile.
He had quite the bearing of a refined gentleman.
He dismounted from the white horse and said to the woman with a smile, "Cousin Xinyi."
"Greetings, Saint Heir," Mo Xinyi greeted with a smile.
"How many times have I said not to be so formal? Call me Cousin Mo Yang," the man said with a laugh, then glanced at Xu Zimei and asked indifferently, "Who are you?"
"He is the Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect and wishes to see the Family Head," Mo Xinyi quickly introduced.
"Cousin Xinyi, people can be malicious; don’t just bring anyone into the residence," Mo Yang said, shaking his head slightly. "Do you have any proof that you are the Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect?"
"What’s it to you?" Xu Zimei replied casually.
"I call the shots here, and if you can’t prove it," Mo Yang said, looking at Xu Zimei with a cold gaze, "then get lost."
