"You are nothing but a junior, get lost." Mo Duanming glanced at Ji Ruyue, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Arrogant."
"Bold!"
"Mo Duanming, are you seeking death?"
The crowd erupted in anger, each person exuding murderous intent that soared into the sky, scattering the white clouds above.
Ji Ruyue was the newly appointed head of the Ji family, and Mo Duanming's words naturally incited the crowd's outrage.
"What? A junior? Can’t the old man even reprimand you?" Mo Duanming sneered, somewhat surprised at why these people were so agitated over a mere junior.
But soon, his gaze sharpened, for he noticed that Ji Ruyue's position was quite special, standing in front of everyone like the moon surrounded by stars. What shocked him even more was that he couldn’t see through Ji Ruyue’s cultivation level at a glance.
How could this be?
He was a late-stage Martial God expert! How could he not see the cultivation level of a junior? This is bizarre!
"Junior? Since Elder Mo Duanming calls himself a senior, why not have a spar with me, your junior?" A cold laugh echoed as a red figure stepped forward, her graceful demeanor exuding an aura of murderous intent.
It was Ji Hongchen.
She walked out coldly, her gaze proud as she looked down at the group of strong warriors from the Mo family, a smirk playing on her lips, mocking them, especially fixing her gaze on the Eldest Elder Mo Duanming, showing no hint of fear.
"Just you?" Mo Duanming sneered, glancing at Ji Hongchen, taking a sharp breath as he realized that the aura around her was incredibly condensed, making him feel a bit heavy.
Moreover, the opponent's cultivation had already entered the mid-stage Martial God realm, which was considered monstrous.
"This Ji Hongchen, it was rumored a few years ago that she wasn’t even a Nineth Level Martial God, serving as a branch master of the Law Enforcement Hall in the Northern Sky Region. Just two or three years ago, she barely broke through to become a Nineth Level Martial God, and now, in such a short time, she's actually entered the mid-stage Martial God realm?"
Mo Duanming's expression turned serious. The strength of the Ji family’s younger generation made him feel secretly alarmed.
The Mo and Ji families had clashed for so many years. If it weren't for the Piao Miao Palace looming over them, they would have fought long ago. Now seeing such outstanding talent from the Ji family's younger generation, he naturally felt pressure.
"What? Are you afraid?" Ji Hongchen scoffed. "The dignified Eldest Elder of the Mo family isn’t afraid of me, Ji Hongchen, right?" Mo Duanming's face darkened, as if made of iron. He naturally didn’t fear Ji Hongchen, nor did he think much of her, but now that she had challenged him, he couldn’t show cowardice either. However, if he were to make a move, even if he won, it would spread as taking advantage of the young.
He pondered for a moment and soon had an idea. He turned to a middle-aged man with red hair, transmitting a message. Then he sneered, "Since you wish to spar so badly, my Mo family won’t shy away. But with just you, you’re not worthy to fight me. My Mo family has others to deal with you."
"Fairy Hongchen, I challenge you!" The red-haired middle-aged man stepped forward, shouting towards Ji Hongchen.
Ji Hongchen smirked, thinking at a time like this, Mo Duanming still had the audacity to maintain his status. It wasn’t like she hadn’t fought late-stage Martial Gods before, but since Mo Duanming said so, she naturally wouldn’t expose it.
"Since someone is eager to seek death, this Emperor will naturally grant him his wish." Ji Hongchen said coldly, completely disregarding the red-haired middle-aged man.
"Wu Chi, be moderate and do not kill." Mo Duanming instructed the red-haired middle-aged man. Although he had come seeking justice, he didn’t want to initiate an all-out war with the Ji family. If the Piao Miao Palace became enraged, he couldn’t bear the consequences.
Wu Chi understood this was the Eldest Elder’s order. As long as he didn’t kill, he didn’t need to hold back. He nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Eldest Elder."
