The servants were numerous and their figures were scattered throughout the hall.
The hall was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
In the hall.
Wang Kui flew towards Mo Xie.
It was a deadly move from the very first strike!
This caused a stir.
Mo Xie stared at Wang Kui silently, as if awaiting death.
Just as Wang Kui's killing move was about to strike,
An elderly man dressed in black suddenly appeared from the shadows.
That's right, it just appeared out of nowhere!
If Guiying, the Shadow Demon, could still be seen by his shadow as he leaped through the darkness, then this old man seemed to appear out of thin air from the shadows!
Old Man of the Underworld
A servant of the Mo family, and a guard for Mo Xie.
The Old Man of the Underworld blocked Wang Kui with one hand, and then kicked Wang Kui in the stomach.
Wang Kui grunted and was sent flying backward.
He stumbled back several steps before regaining his footing with the help of his companions.
"Mid-grade King Realm?!" (Note: Grades four to six are considered mid-grade)
Wang Kui looked at the old man guarding Mo Xie with a wary expression.
The old man ignored him and instead bowed respectfully to Mo Xie, saying, "Young Master."
Mo Xie nodded, "I'll trouble Elder Ming to lend a hand."
"Young master, you're too kind."
Elder Ming bowed again, then silently stood behind Mo Xie.
For a mid-grade King Realm cultivator to treat him like this, this kid is no ordinary person...
Wang Kui narrowed his eyes slightly. "Heh, is this what you're relying on?"
After saying that,
Five or six members of the Yin-Yang Demon Sect behind him stepped forward.
His aura exploded.
They were all high-grade Grandmasters, and his deputy was an even higher-grade King Realm expert!
As for Mo Xie...
The old man Ming, a fourth-rank King Realm expert, stood guard on Mo Xie's right side.
Ji Meiling, a ninth-grade sect master, smiled gently and stood to Mo Xie's left.
Guiying, a ninth-grade sect master, also emerged from the shadows.
Sima Tian, also a ninth-grade sect master, dressed in white, descended leisurely.
Ao Fang, an eighth-grade sect master, retorted with his head held high, "Isn't it just a fight? If you've got the guts, kill me, or I'll kill you!"
Mo Xie's side and the Yin Yang Demon Sect's side were evenly matched.
Just then,
Meng Ping pointed at Elder Ming and shouted, "Who are you?"
He looked at Mo Xie and sneered, "My temple has a rule that no outsider can interfere in the affairs of my temple. Don't you, the so-called 'enforcer,' know that?"
"Bringing outsiders into the affairs of my temple—what should be the punishment according to the temple's laws?"
Moye replied, "At best, they will be detained and expelled; at worst, they will be treated as traitors."
For any major power, allowing outsiders to enter into such matters is a top taboo, and the punishment is severe.
"Hahaha...you knew that too!"
Meng Ping, believing he had caught someone red-handed, sneered smugly, "Then you..."
Mo Xie was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore and waved his hand at Elder Ming.
The Old Man of the Underworld then took out a temple token.
Mo Xie didn't even glance at Meng Ping. "What if it's a temple decree?"
Outsiders are naturally not allowed to enter the Demon God Temple, but those with a Temple Token are an exception.
Just like a student ID, it allows free entry and exit from the temple.
only,
The Temple Token of the Underworld Elder is gray.
The disciple's temple token is black.
A temple decree?!
Meng Ping's smug smile froze on his face, and his expression instantly darkened.
When he was slapped in the face, his first reaction wasn't anger, but regret.
because,
Those who can issue temple tokens to guards are generally people with powerful backgrounds.
In other words,
Is this Mo Xie also someone with a powerful background?!
But... I've never heard of this before!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to steal Mo Xie's credit.
Of course, he had never heard of it.
As mentioned earlier, Mo Xie's predecessor was extremely arrogant and conceited, so she naturally disdained to reveal her family background.
Regret can happen in an instant.
The next second, a fierce glint flashed in Meng Ping's eyes.
Mo Xie is a vicious and ruthless person; he is bound to be vengeful.
Since we've offended them, we must go all the way!
At least,
Within this Demon God's Temple,
My power is greater than his.
Could it be that his family background is more powerful than that of the Demon God Temple?
Seeing that Meng Ping was stumped,
Wang Kui cursed Mo Xie under his breath, calling him a piece of trash, and said, "You killed two of my Demonic Sect's genius disciples. Even in my Demonic Path, we believe in the principle of 'a life for a life'!"
That's utter bullshit about paying for murder with one's life!
If we were to be so particular about these things, everyone present, including Mo Xie, would have already paid with their lives.
Mo Xie shrugged and said, "They were the ones who violated my palace rules first."
The two sides actually started reasoning with each other.
This is yet another major difference between the righteous and the demonic paths.
The right way is to first reason with them, and only if reason fails should violence be used as a last resort.
The demonic path, on the other hand, involves fighting and killing first, and then trying to reason with people.
To be precise,
The winner should be the one to reason.
As for the losing side... well, the weak have no reason to argue!
Now that the two sides are evenly matched...
Therefore, it has become a true matter of reason.
Mo Xie looked at Meng Ping and said calmly, "Steward Meng, you said that you committed violence and rape against women in my temple, and even attempted to kill the enforcers of my temple. According to the temple's laws, what crime is this?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone,
Even if Meng Ping wanted to make up a story, it wouldn't work, so he could only say in a deep voice, "Death sentence."
He couldn't help but curse inwardly.
You're just a servant now, what kind of law enforcer are you!
However, the palace regulations do not explicitly state that servants who assist deacons in maintaining order are not considered law enforcers.
