Chapter 106 - Mo Jianming's Attack

This was an obvious humiliation, and Li Zhe couldn’t take it. His face turned red with anger. He shouted, “I’m going to kill you!”

Just as he was about to make his move, he was stopped by someone else.

“Junior Brother Li, don’t be rash.”

Putting aside the fact that this was in public, they had no evidence to prove that the stone was in Ye Xuan’s hands just based on Li Zhe’s one-sided statement.

Bai Haoyu took a step forward. He did not put on any airs, but his eyes were still filled with a sense of superiority. He said calmly, “Brother, if my Junior Brother Li has offended you in any way, please forgive him. However, that stone has a special meaning to us, so please hand it over. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have to invite you to come with us to the Misty Illusory Manor.”

His words were polite, but the threat in his words was evident.

If Ye Xuan really couldn’t hand over the stone today, based on the ability and strength of the Misty Illusory Manor, no one would dare to question them even if they were to detain all of them.

For a moment, the expressions of the people of the Tai Qing Sect became somewhat nervous.

Han Yue’s eyes were calm as she looked at Ye Xuan, then at Bai Haoyu and the others. She didn’t seem to be very emotional.

“What if I don’t go?” asked Ye Xuan calmly.

With a half-smile on his face, Bai Haoyu replied nonchalantly, “Do you think you have a choice? Either you hand over the stone, or you will come with us.”

Ye Xuan’s eyes gradually turned dark. Looking at the unfriendly gazes of the people from the Misty Illusory Manor, he knew that this matter would not end well. He could only blame himself for being too careless.

If it was just him alone, it would still be fine. He could still think of a way to escape. But there were still the other people from the Tai Qing Sect. He couldn’t just abandon them. Otherwise, the Misty Illusory Manor would definitely vent their anger on them.

Did he really have to hand over the stone?

Just as Ye Xuan was hesitating, an old voice suddenly rang out, “The Misty Illusory Manor is getting more and more capable. To think that they would even bully a small sect.”

Li Zhe immediately showed an impatient expression. Without turning his head, he said, “Who’s tired of living? You actually dare to meddle in the affairs of our Misty Illusory Manor.”

The moment he finished speaking, he only felt a light shining on his neck. A cold light suddenly appeared in the air, as if countless sword shadows were flying over. It almost dazzled everyone’s eyes, and they did not even react to what had happened.

Countless strands of black hair floated in the air. Li Zhe subconsciously touched the back of his head. There was already a bald patch there. He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. If the person who did this had not held back, he would probably die without even knowing how.

“I don’t know if I have the ability to do so.”

The moment he finished speaking, a sharp aura instantly surged over him. Countless sword shadows interweaved into a large net that covered the sky and covered the earth, enveloping everyone inside. It was almost impossible for them to have any thoughts of resisting.

“This pressure …”

The people of the Misty Illusory Manor turned around in disbelief. It was really the group of people from the Sword Sect, and the one leading them was their grand elder, Mo Jianming, who had the strongest combat strength.

Meeting Mo Jianming’s incomparably sharp gaze, it was as if a divine sword had really been unsheathed, and the Misty Illusory Manor’s arrogance subconsciously lowered a little.

This was especially so for Li Zhe, who had just spoken arrogantly. His knees went soft, and he knelt on the ground, trembling like a frightened quail. He no longer had the arrogant look he had just now.

The people of the Sword Sect had extremely high combat strength. In their eyes, there was only their sword. In order to pursue the pinnacle of the way of the sword, it could be said that they would do anything. They were once known as ‘sword fanatics’ by the outside world. From this, one could see the extent of their obsession.

Moreover, they were very protective of their own people, and offending one person could be said to be offending everyone. Furthermore, because they were obsessed with sword techniques, they couldn’t be bothered with ordinary people, and they usually didn’t care about the world.

The expression of Elder Li from the Misty Illusory Manor changed slightly. It was obvious that he was not feeling good under Mo Jianming’s pressure, not to mention the other disciples. Only Bai Haoyu’s expression was still alright.

Seeing Li Zhe’s sorry state, Mo Jianming only glanced at him indifferently. He asked, “Why are you giving me such a big bow? I can’t afford it.”

Just based on those offensive words just now, even if Mo Jianming wanted Li Zhe’s life, the Misty Illusory Manor would have no choice but to admit defeat.

Elder Li quickly stepped forward and said, “Elder Mo, what brings you here today? Our disciple was insensible and spoke arrogantly. Please don’t take it to heart.”

No matter what the people of the seven great sects thought, they still had to put up a good front. As the Sword Sect had the strongest combat power, the Misty Illusory Manor could not afford to offend them. Naturally, they had to show Mo Jianming some respect.

However, Mo Jianming didn’t buy it at all. He said impolitely, “I just saw you bullying a small sect. You are one of the seven major sects, but you actually did such a thing. You even used threats and intimidation. It is quite beneath you to do this sort of thing. If this gets out, how will the outsiders look at us?”

Elder Li, who knew Mo Jiangming’s temper, did not dare to refute it. He lowered his head and agreed repeatedly, “What you said makes sense, Elder Mo. However, we do not wish to do this. It is not convenient for us to explain the reason to you.”

“May I ask what kind of stone it is that the Misty Illusory Manor values so much? It must have a powerful background, right?” Mo Jianming asked meaningfully.

Elder Li’s expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal. He said, “Elder Mo, you must be joking. What kind of background would a stone have…”

Before he could finish, Mo Jianming interrupted him, “Since you’ve said that the stone doesn’t have any background to it, then it’s probably not important. So why are you being so overbearing?”

Elder Li had actually been tricked by Mo Jianming!

If he retorted now, wouldn’t he be contradicting himself and would definitely arouse suspicion? For a moment, Elder Li was in a difficult position.

However, Mo Jianming’s eyes were like torches. Facing his sharp gaze, Elder Li felt as if he was being seen through. A layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
