Mo Qi looked at Elder Bu calmly. "If you continue to curse, I will act again, but the next one to be beaten will be you."
At this moment, Long Zhenhai heard the commotion outside and immediately put down his brush and paper, walking out from inside.
He heard Mo Qi's harsh words and his anger gradually rose.
In fact, he had been hesitant about coming for peace talks.
Because he still had a trump card he hadn't used. He had people in the Qionglu Realm, whom he had originally intended to invite, but his disciples stopped him, saying that he should not use his trump card unless it was absolutely necessary.
So, Long Zhenhai "endured humiliation and bore the burden of national importance," coming to sign the peace agreement.
Seeing Long Zhenhai emerge, Long Dong immediately walked over, covering his cheek with one hand and pointing at Mo Qi with the other, crying and shouting, "Father, he hit me for no reason!"
Long Zhenhai snorted coldly and fixed his sharp gaze on Mo Qi. "Why did you hit him?"
Mo Qi also snorted coldly, lifting his head. "He was ignorant, barked like a dog, and bit people everywhere. I taught him a lesson for you."
Xue Ying glanced at him. It was clearly *she* who had hit him!
But she knew he had his reasons for taking the blame, so she didn't interrupt.
Upon hearing this, Long Zhenhai was furious. This brat not only insulted Long Dong but also himself.
Long Dong, upon hearing this, was also enraged and began to curse again, "You adulterous couple, and you have the nerve to talk back?"
At the same time, he threw a punch at Mo Qi.
The fist shadow, wrapped in misty spiritual energy, struck Mo Qi like a thunderclap.
Seeing the unstoppable momentum, some of the Zhenghe Sect disciples nearby cried out in alarm.
Mo Qi formed a hand seal, and his Blazing Fire Divine Power erupted fiercely. His fist, blazing like fire, shot forward.
It pierced through the mist and slammed into Long Dong's fist with a resounding crash. Long Dong's fist shattered devastatingly, the damage spreading to his entire arm.
With a cry of pain, Long Dong's body flew straight out, soaring over everyone's heads and landing outside the building, unconscious.
"Dong'er!" Long Zhenhai cried out in anguish and flew out after him.
He picked up Long Dong's body, his eyes filled with venomous hatred. "You wait and see. When I return with my troops, I will flatten your Zhenghe Sect."
With that, he leaped up, about to leave.
Mo Qi flicked his finger, and a streak of arrow energy shot out, striking Long Zhenhai's back with a clang. Long Zhenhai stumbled, somersaulted in mid-air, and then, enduring the intense pain, sped away. His retinue followed closely behind.
"Truly noisy," Mo Qi shook his head. "Leaving is fine, but they still have to spout nonsense. If it weren't for the peace talks today and the rule against killing envoys, I would have killed you all here."
"Alas!" Xue Renkui walked out, looking at Long Zhenhai's receding back and sighing heavily.
The conflict could have been avoided, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, they couldn't escape it.
He then looked at Mo Qi again. "He who brings success can also bring failure!"
The disciples of the Taihe Sect also began to change their mindset. They had been on the verge of signing the agreement, thinking everything was over, and they could all go home, drink tea, chat, refine pills, cultivate, and do as they pleased.
But now, it seemed all of that was in vain.
More importantly, with Long Zhenhai returning, who knew what powerful reinforcements he would bring? What kind of dire straits would the Zhenghe Sect face then?
Many people looked at Mo Qi with a strange gaze.
Mo Qi felt uneasy under their stares and said, "Alright, I caused this. I'll handle it."
He turned to leave, but Xue Ying grabbed him. "Shopkeeper Mo, I was the one who caused this. Don't take all the blame onto yourself."
Mo Qi gently shook off her hand and smiled. "This bloody business, you shouldn't be involved."
Xue Renkui was surprised. "Where are you going?"
"I'll strike first and destroy his Taihe Sect. That way, they won't be able to threaten you," Mo Qi said sternly.
"Hahaha," Cui Xin immediately burst out laughing. "You're going to destroy the Taihe Sect alone? Did I hear that right?"
Elder Qi said, "Forget it. Don't be rash. Let's face whatever comes together. This is something we should face anyway, it's just been delayed a bit. What's there to be afraid of? We didn't fear facing despair and annihilation before."
Mo Qi glanced at everyone. "Don't worry. I have my own plans. I'll go and see. If I don't have absolute certainty of victory, I won't act rashly. I'll come back just as I went."
Xue Ying was still a bit confused. "But what can you do alone?"
"He threatened to flatten the Zhenghe Sect, so I'm going to flatten his Taihe Sect first," Mo Qi declared, his head held high, his aura like a rainbow.
Xue Ying stared at Mo Qi blankly, thinking he was joking. But seeing his stern expression and killing intent, she didn't think he was joking.
"Perhaps he's just talking. We can just ignore him," Xue Ying said.
"He scared me, and that's unforgivable," Mo Qi said indignantly.
Xue Ying looked at him steadily. Seeing his resolute and unyielding attitude, she stubbornly said, "Then I'm going with you."
In the end, Mo Qi used the Soul Suppressing Technique to mesmerize her, then handed her over to Xue Renkui, asking him to take good care of her, before leaving with peace of mind.
Xue Renkui and the others tried to dissuade him in vain, and could only watch him leave.
Mo Qi consumed a Flash Shift Pill and, in about half an hour, arrived above the Taihe Sect.
"Long Zhenhai, get out here!" Mo Qi stood on the clouds, shouting towards the mist-shrouded mountains.
After shouting several times, there was no response.
He shouted a few more times, and then four white-bearded old men, looking like elders of the Taihe Sect, appeared, glaring at Mo Qi. "What kind of lowly creature are you, making such a racket here? Do you think this is a place where you can run wild?"
One of them was Elder Bu. Upon seeing Mo Qi, he said disdainfully, "Have you come to die?"
Mo Qi glanced at them. They were all in the Spirit Severing stage. He said impatiently, "I'm looking for Long Zhenhai. It's best for irrelevant people to leave, otherwise, be careful you don't become collateral damage."
"What arrogance," Elder Bu said. "This is the Taihe Sect. Long Zhenhai's affairs are our affairs. The Sect Master has gone to the Qionglu Realm. Tell me, why are you looking for Long Zhenhai?"
He went to the Qionglu Realm as soon as he returned? He must have gone to invite powerful allies. It seemed he was determined to destroy the Zhenghe Sect.
Then, he would destroy the Taihe Sect first.
When Long Zhenhai returned, he would naturally come looking for him.
"To be frank, I don't have any major business with Long Zhenhai. I just want to destroy his Taihe Sect," Mo Qi said.
Upon hearing this, the few of them either became angry or laughed. "What audacious boasting!"
"On your own?"
"He must be crazy."
Mo Qi remained calm. "I'll state it again. I only want to destroy the mountain below and the Taihe Sect. I don't necessarily want to kill anyone, but if you insist on protecting the Taihe Sect and perishing with it, then I will fulfill your wish."
"This is simply too arrogant," Elder Liao could no longer stand it. "Let's kill him. He must be tired of living."
"You court death!" Elder Shao could not bear it any longer. He formed a hand seal, and a red mist shot towards Mo Qi.
At the same time, the other three elders positioned themselves in three other directions, forming hand seals simultaneously. Green, blue, and black mists shot towards Mo Qi together.
The colorful mists zipped through the air at high speed. In a flash, the wisps of mist suddenly swelled, transforming into insect-like creatures. Each insect flapped its wings, bared its scissor-like antennae, and advanced with a chittering sound, charging towards Mo Qi.
Mo Qi had heard that the Taihe Sect's蛊虫 (gu worms) were powerful and dared not touch them lightly. He immediately evaded by darting away.
Everyone saw Mo Qi's figure flash, and he suddenly vanished into thin air.
The four-colored蛊虫 (gu worms) continued to surge forward, converging at a central point, then chittering and tearing at each other before falling down.
The four elders looked around in terror. Several streaks of arrow energy appeared out of nowhere, piercing the heads of Elder Shao and Elder Bu.
Elder Liao and another elder were attacked by the frenzied蛊虫 (gu worms) and were instantly gnawed away until only their clothes fluttered in the air.
The蛊虫 (gu worms) were indeed powerful. Although Mo Qi's movement techniques were incredibly fast, a few insect-like creatures still managed to burrow into his body, but they were promptly killed by Earth Arrows.
The four great elders were instantly killed, and countless people on various peaks witnessed this, all trembling.
Mo Qi shouted down from the clouds again, "I am going to flatten the Taihe Sect. Those who do not wish to be buried with it should leave quickly."
Although the four great elders had fallen one after another, there were still many people below the mountain. They looked up at the solitary figure above, feeling that he was still being overconfident.
At this moment, the barrier shield had been erected. Simultaneously, two more people flew up, confronting Mo Qi. They were the peak masters of two peaks.
These two were also furious. "Do you think our Taihe Sect has no one? Die!"
As they spoke, the two men each summoned a flying sword, which grew rapidly and struck towards Mo Qi.
The flying swords zipped through the air, transforming into countless sword shadows, connecting the sky and the earth, leaving no gaps.
Mo Qi formed a hand seal, and Earth Arrow spiritual energy burst forth from his body, expanding infinitely in the air, instantly connecting the sky and the earth. Its tip was sharp, shimmering with spiritual light, carrying an endless aura of slaughter, and it charged forward fiercely.
Along the way, it stirred up turbulent waves, and the wind whipped up white clouds, scattering them outwards.
Waves of heat surged forward, making it almost impossible to breathe. The scorching temperature instantly ignited the surroundings, plunging them into a hellish inferno.
Upon contact with the sword shadows, the arrow light caused the sword shadows to instantly collapse and shatter, scattering into the surrounding space.
The flying swords themselves were also completely consumed.
The tip of the arrow light only dulled slightly, and it continued to advance with a roar, swiftly striking towards the two peak masters whose pupils had widened to the size of the sea.
The two peak masters instantly turned to dust!
A heartbreaking scream echoed from below the mountain!
Mo Qi looked down with a gaze that surveyed the world, gazing at the various people within the mountains.
With the Sect Master absent and the great elders successively killed, the peak masters were unable to resist. Most of the Taihe Sect's disciples had their morale shattered.
The leaders fled or died. As mere commoners, they had no reason to hold their ground here!
Many people quietly slipped away, while some felt they could still wait and see.
Mo Qi felt that if they didn't see his ability to flatten the Taihe Sect, they wouldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin.
Therefore, he took out the Bursting Pill, tore off the restriction talisman, and pushed it down.
