In the end, the two old men couldn't do a single thing in the face of Mo Xue's threat.
Right now, they were in a very precarious position.
After all, it wasn't as if they didn't have any enemies.
On their path of cultivation, it was inevitable that they made many enemies.
So if those enemies were to find out that they were in this weakened state right now, there was no doubt that they would come to take care of them.
After all, they were able to remain their enemies since they couldn't be defeated. They were enemies since both sides were strong enough that they didn't dare attack each other.
So there was no doubt that their enemies would be able to easily take care of them if they learned of their injuries.
Letting this information spread was the last thing that they could afford.
So they were at the whims of Mo Xue right now.
The first old man said, "What do you want from us?"
The second old man didn't say anything, but it was clear by the look on his face that he thought the same thing as the first old man.
Mo Xue looked at them with a calm look on his face and said, "I know what you're planning to do during this time. Stop it and I'll give you a chance to redeem yourselves."
Both of them had ugly looks on their faces when they heard this.
Mo Xue then said, "Or if you want, go back to your sects and they should be able to release the seal that I put on you."
Their expressions turned uglier the moment that they heard this.
After all, if they were to really do that, it would be hard to guarantee if they could even keep their lives. That was just how important the mission that they had been sent here on was.
If they didn't accomplish this mission and ran away with their tail between their legs, there was no doubt that they would be punished.
For the Five Great Sects, that kind of punishment would usually mean...death.
So of course they were terrified to go back without at least trying to finish their mission.
After a long silence, the first old man asked, "Just what do you want?"
The second old man once again didn't say anything as he focused on the answer that Mo Xue would give.
But to their surprise, Mo Xue didn't give them an answer.
He seemed like he had been willing to tell them all of this, but now he suddenly fell silent.
All of a sudden, his lips had become tight.
Though when they thought about it, it didn't really seem strange since this was how it should have been from the beginning.
Mo Xue just waved his hand at them and said, "Alright, get out of here."
The Martial Might Sect disciples immediately turned to run the moment that they heard this, but there were some of them that looked back at the Love Sect group. The way that they looked back at them, it was almost as if they were saying...
"You'll regret this."
Basically, they were acting like small villains who had been defeated and were declaring that they would get revenge before running off.
This was one of those commonly seen tropes.
Once they were gone, Mo Xue couldn't help asking Xiao Ming, "Are you sure that you should have done that? Even if they are weak, that doesn't mean that the influence of the Martial Might Sect is weak. They might do something quite surprising if you underestimate them."
Xiao Ming didn't seem bothered by this as she calmly said, "Thank you for saving us."
Mo Xue raised a brow without saying anything, as if he was still waiting for the answer to his question.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming raised the Recording Crystal that she had.
Mo Xue looked at it with the same brow raised, but he didn't say anything as he began examining what was on the Recording Crystal. As he watched it, there was a faint smile that appeared on his face.
When he was done, he looked at Xiao Ming with a look of admiration as he said, "It seems like you're much more ferocious than I thought. So you want to torture them before you finish them off."
Xiao Ming just looked at him with a smile before saying, "It's what they deserve."
Mo Xue shook his head before saying with a sigh, "Look at you...I really wouldn't want to get on your bad side."
He turned to Mo Sha to say, "Remember, this is a girl that you can't offend no matter what you do. Or else you might not even know how you were stabbed in the back."
Mo Sha revealed a faint smile before saying, "Grandfather, I already know."
Xiao Ming looked a bit unhappy about the way that the grandfather and grandson were treating her, but she didn't say anything about it. Instead, she said once again, "Thank you for helping us."
Mo Xue waved his hand as he said, "Don't worry about it. I was just doing a friend a favour, so I'll look out for you for the rest of your time here. You don't need to worry about them doing anything to you with me here."
Xiao Ming was surprised to hear this before asking, "What friend?"
Mo Xue just looked at her with a smile without saying a thing.
The way that he did this, it was almost as if he was teasing her.
Xiao Ming was naturally unhappy to see this, but once again she didn't say anything.
Since she couldn't get anything out of Mo Xue, she turned back to Huang Xie and said, "How could you do that to us? Do you even know how worried we were?"
Huang Xie had thought that he had been forgotten, but there was a bitter smile that appeared on his face when he heard Xiao Ming say this.
All he could do was raise his hands and try to explain.
