What was killing intent? Different people had different answers.

When enemies met each other, there was no trace of anger or killing intent. Hiding in the dark, sneaking around in order to give the enemy a fatal blow was also killing intent. At this moment, on the bluestone path formed by the mottled ancient walls, there were ten people with different expressions surrounding Mo Li. Every breath they gave off was killing intent in Mo Li's eyes.

They were all very strong, there was no need to doubt their strength. All 12 of them were at the initial stage of Heart Forging.

A Mysterious Martial Spirit could form a heart and condense a pill to refine the soul. To a practitioner, breaking through from the spirit realm to the Core Bearing Stage was the first big chop on the road of cultivation. Once one crossed it, it would be a brand-new world. Of course, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.

"I really didn't think that you would dare to appear here so brazenly!"

When the accompanying reverends told him that the sect was looking for someone to enter Ning Qianyu's courtyard, there was a brief moment of absent-mindedness, followed by a feeling of humiliation and anger.

Yes, humiliation. From his point of view, Mo Li brazenly came to him in order to ignore his greatest provocation.

Cloud Chasing Pavilion, Floating Cloud Mountain, and Flowing Cloud Hall were all part of Cloudwater Sect, and among the younger disciples of this generation, it was not a secret that Ning Qianyu was interested in the Cloud Chasing Pavilion. A few years ago, at an exchange between the three sects, when Nan Po Yue first saw Ning Qianyu, he had already decided that this woman belonged to him.

He was the Southern Wasteland Moon, so he had the qualifications to be so arrogant.

The Flowing Cloud Hall was the strongest in the Flowing Cloud Clan, and the hall master's son, Wanderingcloud, also liked Ning Qianyu. However, most of the competition between the two was in the shadows, and Mo Li's actions of ignoring the three sects' encirclement and coming to find Ning Qianyu were just a slap on the face.

He was twenty-two years old, and had a cultivation base at the middle level of the spirit realm. He had always left the people beside him far behind, and this was the first time he had ever heard of the feeling of being looked down upon by someone.

This fellow was very arrogant, but from the expressions of astonishment and shock on the faces of the few reverends around, it seemed that this boy in front of him had even more qualifications to be arrogant than him.

"As long as I want to, I can go anywhere!" Mo Li swept a glance at the surrounding crowd, his gaze fixated on the figure of Nan Poyun walking out from behind. His voice wasn't loud, but it caused Nan Poyun to feel as though he had eaten a fly.

Arrogant people couldn't stand to see others being more arrogant than them!

"Brat, you're courting death!" It didn't seem like Nan Po Yue was dissatisfied with Mo Li alone. Other than a few elders who looked at the calm youth with surprise, the other old men around Nan Po Yue were clearly a bit impatient.

The four reverends from Cloud Pursuer Pavilion were the first to make their move. In the blink of an eye, all four of them were enveloped in different colored battle qi. They seemed to be slowly approaching Mo Li, but in the next second, they were trapped in the middle of him.

"It's rare to see such a young Forging Master, but no matter what sort of background you have, you will die if you provoke my Cloud Chasing Pavilion!" The words of the leading old man caused Nan Po Yue's expression to drastically change!

A Heart Forging Expert? He had already reached Heart Forging Stage? How was this possible!

Thinking back to when they were in the Heavenly Desolate Forest, these mercenaries could only barely withstand a group of Blood-Thirsty Demonic Bats. Nan Po Yue could not believe that this weak-looking Mo Li had the strength of a Core Forging Stage!

At the same time, Ning Qianyu, who had just arrived at the scene, was also shocked.

After Mo Li left the courtyard, Ning Qianyu was momentarily at a loss. However, she quickly regained her senses. This was the encampment of the three sects, and it was guarded by twelve Heart Forging Stage experts. How could Mo Li escape their watch?

As expected, Ning Qianyu didn't find any trace of the four Forging Experts from the sect. She immediately rushed outside.

Ning Qianyu was furious. She was the person in charge of this operation. Even if the four reverends had a special position in the sect, they should at least greet her before this operation, right?

Before she could launch an attack, Ning Qianyu heard the old man's words.

Heart Forging!

This fellow actually had a Forging Heart cultivation base!

Ning Qianyu's emotions turned even more complicated!

She had always thought that Mo Li was just a poor gangster. Even though she had guessed that his strength was extraordinary, she was still shocked at this moment.

It wasn't that Ning Qianyu didn't think about whether she would fall in love with this young man in front of her one day, but she had always been a proud daughter of heaven on Floating Cloud Mountain. She believed deep down in her heart that there was an insurmountable gap between them. At this moment, she was finally certain of this, but this chasm was the gap between them.

How could such a young Heart Forging Stage powerhouse have a simple background?

For a moment, everyone present had different thoughts.

"If you want to fight, then fight! Stop with the nonsense. Since I dare to come, I won't be afraid of being bullied!" After a period of recuperation, Mo Li had indeed recovered to the initial stage of Heart Forging. That was why he was barely confident in his chances of finding Ning Qianyu.

"A sharp tongue!"

With that, the four elders from Chasing Cloud Pavilion instantly disappeared from the area.

They did not care about Mo Li's mockery. Having cultivated to such a state, they understood that a fighter jet could flip a boat in a ditch if it were too fleeting.

This time, he was going down the mountain to kill this arrogant kid, not to have a one-on-one fight!

All four of them attacked Mo Li from different angles, but none of them held anything back.

The moment the four of them moved, Mo Li also moved. His upright body explosively retreated backwards, leaving behind afterimages in the drizzle. He swung the sword in his hand to the right, the fiery red battle qi whistled, causing even the drizzling rain to stop for a split-second.

"Clang!"

The hot battle qi repelled the old man on the right, and Mo Li relied on his speed to avoid the attack from the old man on the left and the old man behind him. The golden longsword was placed horizontally in front of his chest.

Even though it was just a brief exchange of blows, it made the surrounding people suck in a breath of cold air!

His movement was fast and nimble, and he had rich combat experience. In just a few short moves, he had used three types of battle qi!

What was the background of this fellow?

They had always thought that the rumors in the outside world were exaggerated, but now, the experts of the three sects had no choice but to admit that this young man had the qualifications to be arrogant!

As Mo Li retreated, he pressed his body against the wall behind him. The four elders of the Cloud Pursuing Pavilion lost their chance to attack him with pincers, so they could only face him head-on.

"Die!"

All kinds of battle qi whizzed out from the weapons in their hands and shot toward Mo Li, who was not far away.

Mo Li let go of his right hand, but the golden sword didn't fall down. Instead, it stood protectively by his master's side like a loyal guard.

His two hands swiftly formed a series of hand seals in front of him. Mo Li's originally white hands instantly became covered with an earthen yellow glow.

"Swimming Dragon Shield!"

The earth attribute battle qi condensed into a round shield in front of Mo Li. The attacks of the four Cloud Chasing Pavilion ministers struck the shield, but they were unable to advance any further.

"Break!"

Holding the round shield with one hand, Mo Li once again picked up the sword with his right hand and swung his arm to chop at it. The round shield broke and the four reverends of the Cloud Chasing Pavilion staggered backwards at the same time.

The entire alleyway once again fell into a deathly silence.
