475: Sudden Hostility

Sudden Hostility

When Mo Xie looked at him, the old muscle man smirked: "You're not afraid?"1

Mo Xie smirked at him as well: "Why should I be?"

The old muscle man chuckled: "Good, kids should at least have that massive guts, eh?"

Mo Xie nodded his head: "Yes, it's good that you youngsters have that much bravery."

The old muscle man felt speechless for a while before he laughed: "Haha, to think I'll be called a kid someday, you sure have it in you brat."

Mo Xie then looked at his back: "Qiqi, see, you're still being called a brat at such fine age now."

Ha Qiqi felt rather speechless to be included in their banter, but she didn't respond and still put her guards up.

Mo Xie then looked at the old man, he placed his elbows on the table and clasped his hands together, and placed his chin on it: "So, what's your purpose for doing all this?"

The old man also sat down rather loosely, his back completely flat on the chair as he took a cup of wine and chugged it, like a delinquent, he replied: "I should be the one asking that, what's your purpose for suddenly appearing in this humble and desolate village of ours?"

Mo Xie casually replied: "If you're from around here, you must've seen it right? The reason why the kingdoms around this place suddenly had their citizens vanished?"

Hearing this, Ha Qiqi, Wu Zeqing, and the other elders suddenly frowned, they placed their guards up. They finally get what Mo Xie's intention was.

The old man had his brows up, seemingly pondering for a while before his eyes widened like in euphoria as he flicked his hand: "Right, I saw millions of people before, marching towards the north!"

He then looked at Mo Xie: "Well, since I've said what I know, you can leave." His expression turned rather serious.

Ha Qiqi and the others can't feel anything other than the old man being at least, a Sky Shattering rank expert, but other than that, they can't see anything.

Mo Xie then smiled: "So, it means you have no other involvement? I mean, you've seen such a weird event, yet, you didn't report both to the demon race and the empire, aren't you too much calm?"

The old man chuckled: "Of course, why should I care about the lives of corrupted people."

"Corrupted, huh..." Mo Xie looked at him silently: "Well, I guess a lot of them, but I'm pretty sure not the massive majority, especially children."

As he spoke, he looked at the slightly biggest shack from the far north before continuing: "Well, children are definitely pure."

For some reason, Ha Qiqi and the others felt that Mo Xie is actually the villain here.

The old man's smile vanished: "Brat, I suggest you bring your little minions with you and just scram, else, I teach you a lesson myself."

He stood up, holding the massive club in his hand, and glared at Mo Xie: "I won't say much, but if I want to do something like that, I don't need to hide it."

"Even if the emperor of your empire comes, he'll only beg underneath my feet!"

As he spoke, he started to release some pressure, Ha Qiqi and the others immediately felt it. Their eyes grew wide in shock as all of them knelt down on the ground and released their weapons as it slowly fell down.

Meanwhile, Mo Xie remained seated and calm, somewhat unaffected by the pressure, he looked at the old man and replied: "Old man, I don't know if I can beat you since you're hiding your true strength, but I'm quite confident in killing the rest within this village before you can do anything."

As he spoke, he took a sip at the drugged tea and smiled at the old man.

The old man's glare grew fiercer: "You dare..." He uttered in a low voice.

Mo Xie replied: "I do dare."

The old man fiercely glared at Mo Xie, a smile formed on his lips, causing the elders around Mo Xie to become afraid, but the old man just chuckled and lifted his hands up: "Well, you really got me." And as he said that, he let go of his weapon.

Ha Qiqi and the others felt relieved, but as soon as they did, the old man vanished from their sight, but at the same time, so did Mo Xie.

BOOM! All of the elders were shocked unable to follow anything, they can only see a massive barrier of spiritual energy wrapping around them, protecting them completely.

And then, they saw the old man who was a hundred meters away from them suddenly appearing in front of them with his fist forward while Mo Xie is beside him, grabbing his arms.

The old man chuckled: "Good reaction, kid."

Mo Xie smiled: "Why thank you."

As he spoke, he threw the old man back, placed his arms behind his back and calmly stood still.

"Ha Qiqi, bring the students and the others away."

Ha Qiqi and the elders woke up from their daze as they looked at Mo Xie: "Elder Mo, we can also help!"

Mo Xie shook his head: "No, all of them are stronger than you, even the children are stronger than your disciples."

"I won't be able to fight if I protect all of you at the same time." He paused for a bit before looking at the old man: "Although we're fighting, I can actually see that they had nothing to do with the incident."

"From the start, he just wished to test something, but I think it's something that all of you can't see." Mo Xie had felt it, this old man had seriously been trying to kill the disciples and elders, but for some reason, he's just not doing it.

Coming to this place, he broke five barriers discreetly, and it must've been an illusion formation that helps hide this village. And with the elders and disciples knowing the village, they should be killed.

Ha Qiqi and the others hesitated, but Mo Xie sigh: "The longer you stay, the harder it'll be."

"You will be pursued as well, so take caution." As he spoke, he called out: "Zhuding, guide them out."

Zhuding glanced at his master before glancing at the old man before nodding his head: "Yes, master."

He immediately morphed into a snake, crawling underneath all of them before transforming into a dragon, immediately carrying all of them on his back and dashed out of the village as fast as he can.

Mo Xie seeing them leaving smiled at the old man: "I recommend you don't follow them, that's not a draconic beast."

The old man hearing this furrowed his brows: "Oh, that's only a demonic beast?"

Mo Xie smirked: "Sure, think of it that way."

The old man looked at Mo Xie before picking up his club, he slowly walked towards Mo Xie and spoke: "You are seriously a very interesting fella, I've never had this much fun when I fought with those two old bones."

Mo Xie smiled back at him, he withdrew his own weapon and replied: "Truthfully, you didn't mean us any harm, we can just forget about everything that had happened here, I can make it so they do."

"But well, I also find it interesting, for a person like you not to be famous, I'm truly excited as well."
