With a densed partial Dou Qi armor f around Xiao Yan's hand and transf into a fist covered ien Thousa Fme, he used just one fio block Mo Li's Dou Teique.

  No matter how hard Mo Li tried, his sword, eveing crag sounds, couldn't advance even half an inch.

  "How is this possible!"

  "He blocked the Green Wood Sword with just one finger?!"

  The entire hall instantly fell silent. All the initial mog ughter and noisy voices abruptly stopped as everyoared at this se in disbelief!

  Initially, those in the hall who didn't know Xiao Yan ridiculed him, thinking that a 'useless' fiancé figure like him daring to challenge a core disciple of the Misty Cloud Sed provoke the Mo 's First Elder was simply c death.

  Now, their faces had been thhly spped.

  Even Ge Ye's mouth dropped open in astonishment. He had initially thought about stepping in to mediate since Xiao Yan had some ties with the Nan . However, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Yan would block the Green Wood Sword with a single fihis revealed his formidable strength!

  Although Xiao Yan made it look effortless, only he himself khe actual difficulty involved.

  This feat required areme level of trol over the Heavenly Fme in order to press a rge amount of the Ten Thousa Fme into a single point and use its power to perfectly absorb the impact from the Green Wood Sword.

  While Mo Li and Xiao Yan were both at the 3-star Dou Grandmaster stage, their physical strength and the purity of their Dou Qi were oirely different levels.

  Nan Yanran naturally heard Xiao Yan's words, and her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

  Three years had passed! This young genius who had defeated her with a single punch back then was still just as powerful!

  "This...this...this is impossible! I've already cultivated the Green Wood Sword to a major level of mastery! How this be! I'm a core disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect!" Mo Li's eyes were bloodshot, uo accept this reality!

  It was this very mastery of the Green Wood Sword Teique that had earned him the position of core disciple during the st Misty Cloud Sect assessment.

  "So this is asses for a core disciple? Looks like I made the right choiot joining your Misty Cloud Sect." Xiao Yan applied a bit of ford effortlessly flicked Mo Li's long sword aside.

  "Ah! I won't accept this!!!" Being disdained by Xiao Yan in such a btant manner made Mo Li tremble with anger. He romi figure in the Misty Cloud Sect, a genius of Yan City! How dare some cultivator from who-knows-where look down on him?!

  In a fit e, Mo Li's Dou Qi erupted, increasing his strength by one level as his Dou Qi armor formed around his body. He swung his sword with explosive force, breaking through the air as he unleashed a flurry of sword lights that frantically sshed toward Xiao Yan.

  His sword moves were fierd domineering, as if trying to cut Xiao Yan into a thousand pieces.

  Having gauged Mo Li's strength, Xiao Yan no loook this enraged child seriously.

  He effortlessly blocked all of Mo Li's attacks using only his pinky finger. He even had the leisure to pick up his teacup with his free hand and take a sip of hot tea.

  Only Hai Bodong, the stro present, noticed some details and was inwardly shocked: 'A body parable to magical beasts, extreme fire trol ability, and super-strong Spiritual Strength perception! Only by possessing all three one achieve this!'

  'This guy is truly a freaking monster!'

  While fending off Mo Li's storm-like attacks, Xiao Yan still had the spare attention to g the dumbstruck First Elder Mo g and calmly said, "First Elder, the tea is getting cold. You don't have much time left."

  ! ! !

  Mo g's face turned cold, a fierce look fshing in his eyes as he said grimly, "I don't know what you're talking about. You will not sully my reputation with such baseless accusations. Although I'm no longer a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, Elder Yun Leng of the Misty Cloud Sect is my respected teacher. A teacher for a day is a father for life. He surely won't allow you to casually tarnish my reputation."

  After speaking, Mo g didn't fet to g Ge Ye. As a Dea of the Misty Cloud Sed the representative sent to attend the birthday celebration, Ge Ye's words naturally carried the weight of the Misty Cloud Sect.

  Ge Ye's eyelid twitched violently. Based on Mo g's status, it should have been impossible for Nan Yanran to personally attend his birthday ba.

  This was all because Elder Yun Leng had a close retionship with Mo g. In fact, all the tributes Mo g paid to the Misty Cloud Sect each year went straight into his pocket.

  Ge Ye gritted his teeth aantly stepped forward, "Little Brother Xiao Yan, about Mo g..."

  Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yan raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Hold on a moment, this guy is a bit noisy."

  Roar!!! Suddenly, a beast-like roar sounded as a blood-red fme shot out from his palm. Like a fire beast poung, it pierced through Mo Li's attacks and heavily struck his chest.

  With a spurt of blood, Mo Li crashed into tables and chairs before colpsing on the ground, his life or death unknown.

  "Alright, Mr. Ge Ye, you were saying?"

  A show of force! This was Xiao Yan giving Ge Ye a clear warning! The message was clear: he didn't care who Ge Ye was in the Misty Cloud Sect. Even a core disciple like Mo Li would still be beaten all the same.

  "I... uh..." Ge Ye was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.

  He already regretted ing to Yan City!

  "Xiao Yan, as a Dea of the Misty Cloud Sect, I assure you that I will iigate this matter thhly. Please give us some time," Ge Ye said with a stiff face.

  Xiao Yan smiled and then tur the numerous people in the hall as he said, "Mr. Ge Ye, look around you. So many leaders of Yan City's major s and businesses are present. Why don't you ask them how Mo g has been oppressing them over the years using the Misty Cloud Sect's name?"

  "Your Misty Cloud Sect is the biggest tyrant here. How arust you?"

  Ge Ye's face turned unnatural as soon these words fell. pared to someone like Nan Yanran who wholeheartedly focused on cultivation, he and old foxes like Mo g had joihe Misty Cloud Sect purely for the bes.

  Many things were uood without needing to be said aloud.

  "Time, you say? Of course I'll give you some. Is the time it takes to drink a cup of tea enough?"

  Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward the Sed Young Lady of the Mo , Ling Lin. Being stared at by the former, Ling Lin immediately hid behind a middle-aged man, afraid he might make a move against her.

  However, Xiao Yan paid her no heed and instead looked at the middle-aged man, "You must be the head of the Mo . Opportunity is something you have to seize for yourself. Before I kill Mo g, if you brihe girl he abducted two days ago, I'll spare your Mo ."

  "Mo Lan! Gather all members of the Mo immediately! I refuse to believe a mere Dou Grandmaster do anything to us!" Mo g roared at the middle-aged man.

  It was evident that within the Mo , even the Head's status was inferior to Mo g's.

  Xiao Yan shrugged. Now that he had firmed that Qing Lin was still safe, he had o be polite.

  "Looks like it's still not enough. Old Hai, don't let aerfere."

  "Rest assured, no one will be able to intervene."

  Boom! Hai Bodong waved his hand and a thick ice wall appeared in the hall, instantly blog off the others.

  "Let me see how much strohis magical beast transpntation teique of yours has made you!"

  Roar! The Mad Lion t was unleashed, and the Ten Thousa Fme instantly strengthened Xiao Yan's flesh and bones. He immediately appeared before the stunned Mo g with an explosive sound. His fist nded squarely oher party's face!
