Although Feng Piaopiao wasn't familiar with Elder Mo, he had a silver tongue and could easily charm people if he wanted to.
Thus, on the short journey from the city to the city lord's mansion, Feng Piaopiao became acquainted with Elder Mo.
He even easily coaxed Elder Mo into giving him a lot of high-quality pills with a few flattering words.
Once they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, after everyone had taken their seats according to their roles as host and guest, Elder Mo turned to ask Feng Piaopiao:
"Oh right, I remember you also have a captain, a rogue cultivator from Luoxia City, right?"
Feng Piaopiao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Does Elder Mo also know Fellow Daoist Zhenru?"
"She is our captain, but she is away on business recently. She told us to wait for her in Biyue City."
"As a result, a few of us were bored and wandered around the city all day, and we actually stumbled upon some amazing things."
After saying this, Feng Piaopiao recounted the events that had occurred in the city and the results of their investigation over the past few days.
Then, Wuchen handed over the prepared evidence to the two stewards of the Shangqing Sect.
After reviewing the documents, and considering what Feng Piaopiao had said, it was clear that the Lord of Biyue City had a problem. However, Elder Mo was, after all, a Nascent Soul Elder, so even though the two Golden Core Elders were the ones who had received the mission, they still respectfully consulted Elder Mo.
However, this was just a formality. Elder Mo was already sitting next to him and had heard most of the details.
Therefore, without much hesitation, Elder Mo stood up and grabbed at the Lord of Biyue City sitting in the main seat.
"How dare you, Li Yue! What else do you have to say?"
City Lord Li Yue, sitting in the main seat, first showed a hint of surprise on his face, then flipped the table to avoid it and stopped pretending.
"Hahaha! You little rascals, so you were prepared all along!"
"So what? Do you think I'm afraid of you just because you have a Nascent Soul elder here?"
As Li Yue spoke, he easily blocked Elder Mo's attack with a flick of his sleeve, and his aura continued to rise.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yue, who was originally only at the early stage of Golden Core, jumped to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
With a casual flick of his sleeve, he sent several people flying.
Only Elder Mo, who was also at the Nascent Soul stage, remained standing and was able to stand on equal footing with Li Yue.
"Li Yue! Don't be so stubborn!"
"Surrender immediately and come back to the sect with me to accept your punishment! I can still plead for you!"
"If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yue immediately burst into laughter:
"Elder Mo, don't talk big!"
"We don't know yet who will show mercy!"
Elder Mo was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, Li Yue was already in the mid-Nascent Soul stage at this time, while Elder Mo was only in the early Nascent Soul stage.
Seeing Elder Mo remain silent, Li Yue became even more arrogant. He laughed and launched an attack on Elder Mo before immediately turning his attention to Wu Chen and his group of four.
"Hmph! It's all because you meddled in other people's business, otherwise you wouldn't have lost your lives here!"
Having said that, he left no room for retreat and unleashed a full-force attack on the four of them.
The difference between Nascent Soul and Foundation Establishment is like heaven and earth.
Of the four, apart from Wuchen, Feng Piaopiao, Zhuoying, and Ruanqing were completely powerless to resist.
Seeing that the attack was about to hit the four people, the two Golden Core cultivators from Shangqing Sect instinctively wanted to rush towards Feng Piaopiao.
The next instant, a cold, sharp female voice suddenly rang in my ears:
"Two deacons, please hold off the city lord, I'll save him!"
Perhaps the woman's voice was too commanding, because in such a sudden and critical moment, the two deacons subconsciously chose to carry out the order.
Together with Wuchen, they managed to temporarily withstand Li Yue's attack, but in the next breath, they were thrown out by the powerful impact.
Fortunately, the woman who gave the order kept her word, and Feng Piaopiao and the other two had already been swept away to another place.
At the same time, a series of arrows with long, golden-red fiery tails, like shooting stars, fell from mid-air toward Li Yue.
At the same time, Elder Mo, having dealt with Li Yue's attack, also had a free moment to strike while Li Yue dodged the rocket.
Yin evil fears yang fire.
Although Liu Yunqing's cultivation level was low, her rockets were powerful and she did not engage in close combat.
Although Li Yue was able to dodge her arrows, he still had an instinctive sense of apprehension. Coupled with Elder Mo and the siege of three Golden Core cultivators, he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and began to retreat.
Although Feng Piaopiao couldn't help, his hatred for Li Yue kept him constantly on the sidelines.
When you're about to finish off a useless knife, your sharpest instincts kick in.
Seeing Li Yue fighting and retreating, Feng Piaopiao shouted loudly to Elder Mo and the others:
"Elder Mo, he's trying to escape!"
Even faster than the wind's words came the rocket that blocked Liu Yunqing's path.
Immediately following was Wuchen and the two stewards' obstruction.
Upon hearing Feng Piaopiao's shout, Elder Mo seized the moment when Li Yue was distracted and unleashed a powerful attack on Li Yue's back. He then opened his palm, pulled Li Yue close to him, and grabbed his pulse point.
"Behave yourself!"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Yue's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed his attitude, kneeling down in front of Elder Mo and begging for mercy while crying bitterly.
"Hmph! Why didn't you do this earlier? Now look at it like this."
Everyone was happy to see that the person had been brought under control. Feng Piaopiao was the first to rush over and start yelling at him.
"Now you know to beg for mercy? Do you know how many people you've harmed?"
"How many talented people have you caused to die from bad luck? And you still have the nerve to cry?"
"You are utterly wicked! Elder Mo, let's take him away..."
"Snap—"
Before Feng Piaopiao could finish speaking, everyone suddenly heard a soft "crack" sound. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that Li Yue's neck was in an abnormal position, slumped softly to the side.
His eyes were filled with shock and anger.
This sudden turn of events left everyone present momentarily stunned.
After a long while, the sound of the wind being cut off drifted out somewhat faintly from his throat:
"...Take him back to the sect and punish him severely..."
The second person to move was Elder Mo.
He released his grip on Li Yue's neck, and while gently wiping it, he said with some surprise:
"Huh? Junior Brother Feng said he committed heinous crimes. I thought you wanted me to execute him on the spot. You actually want to bring him back to the sect?"
Feng Piaopiao frowned quickly and immediately retorted:
"Of course not!"
"All matters are to be decided by the sect's law enforcement hall. How can we arbitrarily kill our fellow disciples?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Mo sighed, then said with a sorrowful expression:
"How could I not know? I was just really angry!"
"Back then, I was the one who strongly recommended Li Yue to the sect leader to become the city lord of Biyue City. Now that he has done such a thing, I feel both ashamed and angry, and I lost my temper in the process."
"Junior Brother Feng, you two deacons, you won't blame me, will you?"
