Tong Tong watched his stubborn son get up again, seemingly about to charge forward, and shouted in alarm, "Quick, get out of the way, don't go to your death!"
He himself wanted to rush forward, but his legs were uncooperative. As soon as he got up, he fell to the ground, tears of anxiety welling up.
Then, a sea of red light surged violently towards Tong Wuqi.
Tong Wuqi, seemingly knowing he couldn't resist, gave up his struggle and watched the red light engulf him with a look of facing death as if it were home.
Everyone widened their eyes, believing Tong Wuqi was doomed.
Just then, a flash of white light appeared, like a star falling to earth. The light exploded, spreading in all directions, instantly overwhelming the red light and swallowing Ma Shangjie along with it.
When the light dissipated, Ma Shangjie was gone!
A young man appeared in the center of the arena. Many found him unfamiliar, but Tong Wuqi recognized him at a glance and felt surprised. "Mo, Brother Mo."
Mo Qi scanned the people in the arena and felt a surge of anger upon seeing the so-called "public officials."
In just an instant, the situation changed dramatically.
Many in the arena hadn't even registered what happened.
Niu Zhu, the bank manager who had come with Ma Shangjie, was still stunned. Zhu Guan Shi, the supervisor of the patrol team, was furious. "Who are you? Coming to fight for justice without understanding the situation? Don't you know the patrol team is on duty?"
Mo Qi glanced at him coldly. "You're not qualified to speak to me. Who is your captain? Call your captain over."
Not qualified to speak to him? What a tone!
Zhu Guan Shi looked at Mo Qi's youthful face and couldn't help but laugh in anger. "You want me to call the captain? Do you want me to call our Tier 1 Leader for you?"
"I don't have time to bicker with you. If you know what's good for you, get lost."
Mo Qi thought for a moment and said, "You're the ones who should get lost. As members of the Tiers, you should be patrolling and guarding, not meddling in people's private affairs and acting as thugs. Your actions are unforgivable."
Zhu Guan Shi gritted his teeth in anger. "You little brat, you don't know anything. I'm performing my official duties. This Tong family refuses to pay their bank debts, and they have several mountains they won't hand over as collateral. They've lost their integrity, and we're here to uphold justice."
"Performing official duties? Then I ask you, who ruled that the Tong family must use their property to pay off debts? Where is the judgment document?" Mo Qi stared sharply at Zhu Guan Shi.
Zhu Guan Shi's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected this child, despite his youthful appearance, to know some things!
However, he felt he could still intimidate the other party and said righteously, "Of course there's a judgment document. Why should I show it to you?"
At this moment, Tong Tong quietly got up and stumbled to Tong Wuqi's side, saying worriedly, "Is this your friend? Ask him not to confront the patrol team. An arm can't twist a thigh. We can only beg them, not resist forcefully."
Tong Wuqi waved his hand. "Don't worry, Dad. Now that he's here, their thigh has become a calf."
His memory was still based on Mo Qi being a Tier 4 Leader, but he believed that a Tier 4 Leader was already as imposing as a mountain to these patrol team members.
Mo Qi looked at Zhu Guan Shi with an expression of disappointment in his potential. "I'll give you one more chance. Go and call your captain."
As he spoke, Mo Qi took out his Tier 7 token and flashed it.
Zhu Guan Shi glanced at it but didn't see clearly. Even if he had, he wouldn't have known what it was.
Therefore, he dismissed it with disdain.
"What are you trying to fool me with? Do you think I'm that easily deceived?" Zhu Guan Shi snorted. "I'll ask you one more time, are you leaving or not?"
Seeing that Mo Qi had no intention of backing down, Zhu Guan Shi became enraged. His fist, imbued with spiritual energy, struck towards Mo Qi. Mo Qi's figure flickered, and he appeared behind Zhu Guan Shi.
Everyone stared blankly at Zhu Guan Shi, not understanding what had happened.
Large beads of sweat rolled down Zhu Guan Shi's forehead.
He looked around frantically for Mo Qi. His punch had missed, and he knew things were not good.
Then, he felt a dull ache in his chest. Looking down, he saw a large hole in his chest, with wind passing through it, feeling chillingly cold.
Zhu Guan Shi closed his eyes and fell to the ground, dead from fright!
Niu Zhu and the other patrol team members saw this and fled in disarray.
"Someone's dead!" The Tong family members turned pale with fear.
These were officials. If one died at the Tong family's residence, the Tiers would investigate, and the Tong family would be in serious trouble.
Tong Tong looked at Tong Wuqi and sighed, "Son, our Tong family is ruined anyway. Ask your friend to escape quickly."
Tong Wuqi looked at Mo Qi, seeing his confident demeanor, and guessed that there wouldn't be much trouble. He said to Tong Tong, "It's alright, Dad. Don't worry."
Mo Qi thought that these patrol team members didn't know him, and prolonging the stalemate wasn't a solution.
The patrol team was under the jurisdiction of Tier 1, and the current Tier 1 Leader was Xue Nu. So, he had to ask Xue Nu to come over.
Thus, he used a sound transmission spirit stone to ask her to come to Tong Family Village.
Tong Family Village was also a place with beautiful scenery.
Xue Nu misunderstood, thinking Mo Qi was asking her out, so she dressed up beautifully and went over.
Upon arriving, everyone stared at each other, and two bodies lay on the ground.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.
"What is it?" Xue Nu glanced at him with annoyance.
"I'd like to ask, are the patrol team members now responsible for helping people collect debts?" Mo Qi asked earnestly.
Xue Nu, being very intelligent, saw the uniform of Zhu Guan Shi lying on the ground and combined it with Mo Qi's words, she understood what had happened.
"Of course, this is their personal behavior. What, do you need me to find them and ask?" Xue Nu quickly adjusted her tone and said.
Mo Qi shook his head. "No need. They'll be here themselves later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people in the same uniform as Zhu Guan Shi arrived in a hurry.
That group surrounded a fat man and rushed over.
One person pointed at Mo Qi and said to the fat man, "Captain Xia, it's him. He killed Manager Zhu."
Captain Xia, however, stared intently at Xue Nu. After a long look, he asked with some uncertainty, "Your Excellency, are you Lord Chao?"
Xue Nu flashed a token and said, "It's me. I'd like to ask, what are you here for?"
Xue Nu's question left Captain Xia flustered. Sweat poured down his face. After a long while, he managed to stammer, "I, we are actually acting on orders from above to assist the bank in sealing off Tong Family Village."
"Whose orders?" Xue Nu pressed.
Captain Xia's face showed difficulty, like a difficult birth.
Seeing Xue Nu staring at him, he reluctantly said, "Lord Chao, may I speak with you in private?"
Xue Nu said angrily, "There is nothing that cannot be said to others. Speak directly. " She pointed at Mo Qi. "This is Lord Mo of Tier 7."
Captain Xia glanced at Mo Qi, and his legs went weak.
He turned and glared at the person who had just identified Mo Qi. "Do you want to kill me?"
That person was so scared he almost fell to the ground, but thankfully, someone next to him caught him in time.
These people had clairvoyance and clairaudience. They immediately knew that the Deputy Leader of Tier 7 had just changed.
But they couldn't possibly connect the actual leader of the Southern Continent with this young, immature boy before them.
But now, with Xue Nu's introduction, could there be any doubt?
The Tong family members were also greatly shocked. Was the Deputy Leader of Tier 7 really like this?
He didn't look like it at all!
"Yes, it's Ouyang Zhu, the Deputy Leader of Tier 6." Captain Xia said tremblingly.
"Ouyang Zhu?" Mo Qi asked, somewhat puzzled. "Why would he bother with this trivial matter?"
Tong Wuqi stepped forward, as if suddenly enlightened, and said, "I know what's going on. I have a cousin named Tong Xin, who is beautiful. Ouyang Gu of the Ouyang family came to propose some time ago, but my cousin rejected him because she didn't like him. Perhaps this is how the feud began."
"Moreover, the Alchemy Association suddenly stopped accepting our family's alchemical raw materials. I suspect it was Ouyang family's interference that caused our family to suddenly lose its source of income and decline."
"This is using public office for private revenge." Mo Qi looked at Captain Xia with feigned distress. "And you are all accomplices."
Captain Xia immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic. "My Lord, I was just following orders. Please forgive my transgression."
Mo Qi waved his hand. "You may go. Remember to be a good person."
"I will certainly follow your teachings!"
Captain Xia felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. Grateful, he kowtowed a few more times before leading his subordinates away.
Mo Qi turned to Tong Tong and said, "You go and prepare some herbs for refining healing pills and spirit power pills. We're going to the Alchemy Association."
Tong Tong was overjoyed. Knowing that such a powerful figure was helping, he was confident that the matter would be resolved, and the Tong family had hope for a comeback.
He immediately gave the order and actively prepared the materials.
Xue Nu felt that her presence was no longer needed and prepared to leave.
Mo Qi immediately said, "Xue, wait a moment. I have something else to tell you."
Xue Nu stopped and asked impatiently, "What is it?"
