「Wuji Sect.」

Mo Yang Immortal Monarch calmly released his hand and stepped back.

The spatial restraint was released, and Mu Zixu instantly seemed to come back to life, gasping for air in great gulps.

He immediately sprayed out a mouthful of blood, spewing it all over Wang Yang.

Then, looking utterly drained, Mu Zixu collapsed into a chair. He stared at Mo Yang Immortal Monarch, both shocked and terrified, trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Yang was also horrified. After using a Cleaning Technique to get rid of the bloodstains, he stood by Mu Zixu’s side, his face filled with apprehension.

Just a moment ago, he had truly feared that Mo Yang Immortal Monarch would be ruthless and cripple Mu Zixu. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

It took a long time for Mu Zixu to recover and finally calm the roiling qi and blood in his body. Filled with both anger and fear, he asked:

"What was the meaning of your actions just now, Mo Yang Immortal Monarch? Does being an Immortal Monarch give you the right to attack us as you please?"

"Though I may be inexperienced, I am still a disciple of the Wuji Sect. Mo Yang Immortal Monarch, if you harm a fellow sect member, you must give me a reason!"

’He desperately wanted to act tough and report this directly to the Wuji Sect’s leadership, but that would mean offending Mo Yang Immortal Monarch to the point of no return. Mo Yang Immortal Monarch was also notoriously ruthless. If he were to run me through with his sword one day, I wouldn’t even know where to go for justice! They say the higher one’s cultivation, the more one fears death, and he was naturally terrified of seeing his years of hard work go down the drain.’

Mu Zixu stared at Mo Yang Immortal Monarch, trying his best to appear calm.

"She is the disciple I, Mo Yang, have acknowledged. You intended to hunt her down and kill her, so naturally, this Monarch would not stand by and watch her die!"

Mo Yang Immortal Monarch’s cold gaze swept over him, and his words left Mu Zixu utterly stunned.

’How could that be?’

’Just how did that black-clothed doll manage to attract Mo Yang Immortal Monarch’s attention?’

Mu Zixu’s heart was filled with anxiety and unease.

’Just a moment ago, he’d flaunted his status to intimidate Song Wanning, even using the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm to threaten her. Now, his actions seemed utterly absurd and farcical—truly laughable! After all, Mo Yang Immortal Monarch was backed by a great clan in the Immortal Realm and also wielded powerful influence in the Spirit Realm. No matter where they were, he was no match for Mo Yang Immortal Monarch. How could he possibly dare to bully his disciple!’ 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"I... We didn’t know..."

Mu Zixu’s attitude softened, but his heart was filled with anger and regret. More than anything, though, he felt helpless.

’She had destroyed the Medicine King Sect’s chance to pass on its legacy in the Lower World and even obliterated countless spirit tablets. He had yet to avenge such a great feud, and in the blink of an eye, his enemy had become the disciple of a powerhouse. He was so angry he could spit blood!’

"Besides, what she did was so excessive! It’s perfectly reasonable to teach her a lesson!"

Mu Zixu craned his neck stubbornly and argued his case, inwardly cursing his own lack of strength.

Mo Yang Immortal Monarch’s gaze remained cold the entire time. He clearly didn’t see Mu Zixu as worthy of his notice.

"Whether her actions were excessive or not is not for you to decide! What’s more, you were the one who initiated the trouble!"

His voice was deep. He once again unleashed the aura of an Immortal Monarch, thick with killing intent, and it crashed down on him with the force of a tidal wave.

Mu Zixu wanted to argue further, but in an instant, it was as if a hand had clamped around his neck. The shadow of death hung over him, and the color drained from his face.

Wang Yang’s face was also pale. He quickly reached out to hold Mu Zixu down, signaling for him not to move a muscle.

"If that girl is someone Mo Yang Immortal Monarch has his eye on, she must be an extraordinary individual!"

"Zixu was just blinded by anger. He didn’t mean to target her. I ask that you, Mo Yang Immortal Monarch, be the bigger person and not hold it against him!"

He then forced a small smile, giving Mu Zixu a way to back down gracefully.

"From now on, Zixu will certainly not dare to take any action against that girl again!"
