Mo Wuyu was extremely sensitive to talismans. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly retreated.
The talisman relentlessly pursued, and Mo Wuyu made a hand seal, shooting out a fire-controlling talisman. The two talismans collided with a loud bang, creating a small shockwave. Those onlookers who were a little slower to run were knocked to the ground by the shockwave.
"Who's making a move here! The elders of the five major sects just sealed the rift in the Demon Realm, and their spiritual energy is unstable. How can they make a move here? If the seal breaks, who will be responsible?" one of them shouted angrily.
The long-bearded elder raised his voice and said, "Fellow Daoists, please forgive me. It is an unfortunate incident that a petty thief has appeared in our sect. He stole our sect's guardian beast. I only wanted to use the Beast Taming Talisman to retrieve the beast, but this petty thief actually used the Fire Taming Talisman. If I catch him, I will certainly punish him severely."
With a few words, he shifted all the blame onto Mo Wuyu, even accusing Mo Wuyu of being a petty thief.
Ruoruo the cat is so angry she's meowing loudly. "Big brother, beat him up! He's so shameless!"
Mo Wuyu, who wasn't particularly angry at first, suddenly darkened his gaze after hearing the words "Beast Taming Talisman".
When the Beast Taming Talisman touches a beast, it transforms into a collar that fastens around the beast's neck, becoming a chain that suppresses its spiritual power.
If the animal resists, not only will the chain tighten, causing it to feel suffocated, but it will also experience the pain of being burned by electricity or fire.
They actually wanted to put such a vicious collar on their kitten.
His kitten, so small, soft and delicate, how could it endure such suffering?
Mo Wuyu drew his longsword and pointed it directly at Elder Longbeard.
"Stealing from his own sect and daring to lay a hand on it! He's a disgrace to the cultivation world."
Seeing that Mo Wuyu not only did not refute the cultivator's words, but even drew his long sword and wanted to fight, the surrounding cultivators all scorned him.
"He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Elder, you should quickly take this rebellious disciple back to the sect and teach him a lesson."
“Such a person should be expelled from the immortal sect and stripped of his immortal roots, so as not to tarnish the reputation of our immortal sect.”
"Stop him! Don't let him escape!" A group of cultivators forcefully blocked Mo Wuyu's path.
The incessant insults made Ruoruo tremble with anger. His elder brother was injured due to incomplete immortal essence and immortal soul, and was unable to speak. How could he refute this?
These people are unaware of the truth and make hasty conclusions without distinguishing right from wrong.
"Awoo!" Ruoruo Cat's spiritual energy surged, wishing she could slap that shameless scoundrel to death with one paw.
The long-bearded elder stroked his beard smugly. So what if he bullied this mute man because he couldn't speak?
He tried to make a good deal with him, but he didn't know what was good for him and disregarded the sect's kindness. He's a complete ingrate. Today, he'll make this kid speechless and obediently hand over all his adventures and mythical beasts.
It's good that he's making a move. As long as this kid makes the first move, he'll follow suit and force him back to the sect. What good is his talent if his immortal roots are uprooted? He'll just be a worm underfoot that everyone can trample on!
Looking at the handsome young man's face, Feng Pingting said with some reluctance, "Junior Brother Wuyu, please return the immortal beast quickly. I will definitely persuade the sect leader and my uncle to deal with you again. You will still retain your position as a core disciple and receive special training."
As long as Wuyu is obedient, she is still willing to give him a chance.
"This girl is actually the sect leader's daughter? No wonder she's so generous and kind. This person is truly ungrateful. The sect has treated him so well, yet he still does such a despicable thing."
“His silence clearly indicates he has a guilty conscience. He should quickly return the mythical beast, admit his mistake, and beg for forgiveness and punishment.”
Mo Wuyu raised his hand, stared intently at the elder, and with a wave of his longsword, the long-bearded elder did not sense any spiritual power at all, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
It seems he's nothing more than a pretty face, all show and no substance.
However, the next moment, his cherished beard broke off neatly from his chin and fell to the ground.
"You insolent brat!" The long-bearded elder roared in anger, his hand clenched into a claw and aimed directly at Mo Wuyu's shoulder.
Mo Wuyu protected Ruoruo Cat, holding his long sword to block his claws, and they engaged in a fierce battle.
The young man's figure was like a swimming dragon, agile and light. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was able to fight against elders at the Golden Core stage, and his swordsmanship was also remarkable.
Ruoruo the cat struggled to stick its head out, stretched out its paws, and meowed, occasionally scratching Mo Wuyu with its claws.
Mo Wuyu couldn't break through the elder's protective spiritual power, but for Ruoruo Cat, that spiritual power barrier was practically nonexistent; it was less solid than the clouds in the sky under her claws.
Seeing the kitten with soft and cute nails, Mo Wuyu realized that its claws were actually quite sharp. He was no longer worried that the kitten would suffer a loss. He picked up his sword and began to slash at the long-bearded elder. When he had free time, he kept making hand seals and using talismans. Every move he made was full of killing intent.
Elder Longbeard was originally far stronger than Mo Wuyu, but Ruoruo's occasional claw attacks disturbed his mind. In addition, Mo Wuyu attacked with talismans while wielding his sword, which made him flustered and he was dragged down to a draw by Mo Wuyu.
"The Golden Core elder was actually delayed by the Foundation Establishment stage..." The surrounding people were dumbfounded. "With such talent, why would this young man be so foolish as to steal the sect's treasure?"
At this point, someone raised a question: "It's too strange that this young man hasn't said a word from beginning to end. He should at least offer some explanation for himself."
"Moreover, the little mythical beast in his arms seemed to be wholeheartedly helping the boy, so it didn't seem like it was stolen."
Seeing that someone had pointed out something suspicious, Feng Pingting panicked and quickly shouted, "This person tricked and stole the immortal beast of my Five Spirits Immortal Sect! Please, fellow Daoists, lend a helping hand. My Five Spirits Immortal Sect will reward you handsomely!"
Those who had initially stepped forward to help block Mo Wuyu's path suddenly lit up, exchanged glances, and were about to step in to help.
They certainly didn't come to help out of some sense of justice; rather, they recognized the long-bearded elder as wearing the robes of the Five Spirits Immortal Sect and wanted to curry favor with him, which is why they offered their assistance.
After all, the Martial Spirit Immortal Sect is one of the five great immortal sects of the Haoran Realm.
Now that a carrot dangling in front of them offers benefits, they disregard the truth and act without hesitation.
In any case, that young man was only at the Foundation Establishment stage; could he possibly rebel against an entire sect?
"Please stop immediately, everyone." At this moment, Senior Brother Li arrived with a group of helpers.
With one arm around Ruoruo, Mo Wuyu drew his longsword and took a few steps back, watching the newcomer warily.
He didn't know whether this Senior Brother Li had come to help him or also for her kitten.
Ruoruo blinked in confusion as she looked at the woman in yellow surrounded by her henchmen.
The woman in yellow winked playfully at Ruoruo, and Ruoruo's kitten-like face immediately lit up with joy.
She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Meow!" Mom! That old man is bullying me.
Ruo Ruo raised her paw, and there was blood on the tip of her paw.
The girl in yellow narrowed her eyes, her face hardened, and she suddenly grabbed a spiked club and lashed it hard at the long-bearded elder's head.
They actually injured her daughter! They're asking for trouble!
