The person who had fallen from the tree let out a shrill cry. He only managed to pick himself up after rolling about for quite a bit.

You… How did you know I was hiding in the tree?
The man cupped his buttocks and looked at Mo Wen in surprise. The pain on his buttocks caused him to breathe heavily. He had clearly only been hit by a small pebble. Yet, it had been so painful that even a Qi Nucleation realm ancient martial art practitioner could not take it. More importantly, how had the youth located him? He was very confident in his concealment technique. In such a dense forested area, how could the youth have possibly located him?

Why? Are you really forcing me to call out each and every one of you?
Mo Wen crossed his arms and smiled mockingly.
As he spoke, some rustling could be heard in the trees. Then, a few other people walked out of the forest. All of them were young. There were five of them and their Cultivations were not very high. The highest of them all was only of the intermediate stage of the Qi Nucleation realm. In the main space, this Cultivation would perhaps be exceptional. However, in the inner world, it was very average.
The five people who had just walked out exchanged glances. Each of them had fear and wariness in their eyes. Initially, they had wanted to scare this youth and force some news out of him. Then, they would decide what to do with him. Now though, the tables had turned. Not only had their plan failed, but they were now at the mercy of this youth.


He was just a youth so his Cultivation could not possibly be very high. Just how had he located them? Big Fatty, Skinny Monkey, and the others looked at Mo Wen uncomprehendingly.

You guys were looking for me?
Mo Wen crossed his arms as he sat on a tree branch.

Little brother, I saw your handsome looks and given your exceptional aura, I was impressed. Hence, I lured you over here. I wonder which sect you are from? Us few are disciples of Tong Luo Sect from Qingkun District.
Big Fatty walked to the front and broke into a smile. On his round face, there was a harmless expression.

The few of you are too courteous. I am an insignificant person without a sect. I don’t dare to associate with you guys,
Mo Wen said calmly.

Sectless!
When Big Fatty, Skinny Monkey, and the rest heard that, they shared a glance. Immediately, there were looks of viciousness. He actually turned out to be a lad with no sect.

Go, kill him off first!
Big Fatty exclaimed loudly. He did not bother to talk nonsense anymore. Instead, he made a move to attack. His eyes were fixed on the Flaming Dragon Colt which he clearly coveted. What right did a small ancient martial art practitioner have to own such a precious treasure? Other people could only dream of owning it. Yet, the person who actually owned it was a young lad without a sect.
It was simply an opportunity given to him from the heavens. It was time for him, Big Fatty Hong, to shine.

Lad, go and die,
Skinny Monkey said loudly, becoming the first to pounce towards Mo Wen. Nobody was expected Mo Wen, a youth who was not even 20 years old, to have any strength at all. Hence, Skinny Monkey dashed directly forward without an ounce of hesitation. It was as though he was throwing himself at a mere little lamb.
With Skinny Monkey’s Cultivation of the Qi Nucleation realm, he had appeared before Mo Wen within a few seconds. He threw a fist out and the air reverberated with a dull sound.
Mo Wen expressionlessly extended a hand. Then, he pressed down in the air. Suddenly, a frightening pressure was introduced. It was like a mountain had been directly crushed. Skinny Monkey’s shoulders sank down as he stumbled. Then, he fell onto the floor, his body was no longer able to withstand the pressure. Immediately, he had fallen flat on his face.


The others were shocked. Those who had been preparing to tear Mo Wen apart stopped in their tracks one by one. They looked at him in surprise, fear gradually appearing in their eyes. Their fear became even greater and thicker than before.
Now in their eyes, the youth was no longer a little lamb that could be bullied easily. Instead, he was a primeval beast that threatened them.
Such a scary aura! Big Fatty breathed out coldly and his face turned pale. His body began to tremble slightly and he looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. Golden Elixir realm!
Only an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm would have such a scary aura. But… how could it be! This youth was not even 20 years old, so how could he have achieved a Cultivation of the Golden Elixir realm? Big Fatty felt as though he was trapped in a nightmare. He wished so badly to give himself a firm slap and shake himself out of this bad dream.

Are you guys thinking of stealing my Flaming Dragon Colt?
Mo Wen crossed his arms and looked at Big Fatty, Skinny Monkey, and the rest mockingly.

No… no, we are… just… joking… just joking,
Big Fatty stuttered. His entire body was continuously trembling and he had turned completely pale with fright. Golden Elixir realm! It was a level that none of them could match up to.

Trying to get away with it?
Mo Wen lifted his gaze to look at Big Fatty. Then, he waved his arm and a golden-colored sword Qi flashed. In the next moment, blood sprayed everywhere and a huge head rolled on the floor. It belonged to Big Fatty. A direct kill with a single slash. Nobody had time to react.

Do you still want to try and get away with things?
Mo Wen asked expressionlessly, glancing across at the remaining few people.

Master, please let us off… Master, please let us off…


We are in the wrong… we won’t dare to do such things again… Master, please let us off…



The bloody scene, as well as Mo Wen’s frightening actions, had caused the others to break down completely. They knelt down to beg for mercy and kowtowed to him continuously.

You are all people of the Tong Luo Sect?
Mo Wen asked calmly.

Yes… That’s right, we are all people of Tong Luo Sect… We beg that on account of Tong Luo Sect, the great master can let us off.

The few of them nodded their heads. Although Tong Luo Sect was not a particularly major sect, they also had quite a reputation; currently, there was hope welling up in a few of their hearts. At the very least, they all hailed from a major sect. Hence, this youth could not possibly be so brutal.

When disciples make mistakes, it is the sect’s fault. The few of you bullied me because of my age and coveted my Flaming Dragon Colt. I actually want to look for your sect to settle the score.
Mo Wen smiled coldly. He waved his hand and a vine flew out. Then, it circled around, binding the four people tightly together. At the same time, he hit a palm out and got rid of all four of their Cultivations. The four Qi Nucleation realm ancient martial art practitioners had become average people with no powers at all.
The four of them were so frightened that they felt their souls leave their bodies. Their eyes were filled with despair. Getting rid of their Cultivation was akin to killing them. In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, people without any Cultivation could only remain in the city their entire lives and be a normal person.
Was this youth insane? He was actually prepared to approach Tong Luo Sect! That had to be a little too unreasonable. They were simply normal disciples of Tong Luo Sect. To put it bluntly, this was their personal affair and had nothing to do with Tong Luo Sect. This youth was simply being unreasonable if he went to Tong Luo Sect. Moreover, he was being unreasonable to a major sect.

Lead me to the territory of your Tong Luo Sect. I am already being merciful by not killing you.
Mo Wen looked at them. With a wave of his hand, the four living people became like four sacks as they flew into the air and hung off the body of the Flaming Dragon Colt. Meanwhile, he had his hands crossed behind his back. Leisurely, he made his way towards the outskirts of the southern forest.
The flat ground on the peak of the Cropped Top Mountain was very big and there were many elements to it. The various tents had been distributed into different camps and each camp represented a sect. The numerous tents made up to a total of 50 or 60.
An extremely major sect like the Purple Qi Pavilion took up the best spot on the mountain peak. Meanwhile, the sects that were not as good were situated a little lower, and the ones that were even worse were located at the corners.


Tong Luo Sect was not a small sect in the Qingkun District. However, in the context of the current Cropped Top Mountain, it was not as outstanding as it used to be. After all, the sects that could head over to the Flame Barren Savage Lands were not lousy at all. It could even be described as a gathering of the strongest sects from the Eight Major Districts.
Tong Luo Sect’s camp was situated in a corner of the third level. Its environment was rather good and while it could not compare to those that were higher up, it was much better than that of many others.
Mo Wen had his arms crossed behind his back. After ascending the edge where Tong Luo Sect was located, he noticed that the ground there had 20 over tents pitched. All of them belonged to Tong Luo Sect.
According to what Skinny Monkey and the others had explained, 70 to 80 ancient martial art practitioners from Tong Luo Sect had come this time. Amongst them, the worst was of the Qi Nucleation realm and there were 20 over Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioners. There were even two Deputy Sect Leaders as the heads of the group who were of the Golden Elixir realm.
In the entire Tong Luo Sect, there were three ancient martial art practitioners with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Other than the Sect Leader, the two Deputy Sect Leaders were also of the Golden Elixir realm. Although it was far from being able to compare with power like Intentionless Sect, it was not easy for a sect to even have ancient martial art practitioners of the Golden Elixir realm, much less three of them.
The Sect Leader had stayed in the sect to handle the daily affairs and so the two Deputy Sect Leaders were both on Cropped Top Mountain.

Who is that? This is the territory of Tong Luo Sect. Trespassers are prohibited.
There were a few disciples that were guarding the place who shouted over from afar. In the distance, they could see Mo Wen’s figure leisurely strolling over.

I am not a trespasser. I am here to demand compensation from your Tong Luo Sect.
As he walked closer, the disciples guarding the camp finally got a clear look at Mo Wen. Seeing as he was just a youth, they initially looked down on him. However, after seeing the Flaming Dragon Colt following behind him, their expressions grew solemn.
As disciples of a major sect, it was impossible for them to not know how precious and respected a Flaming Dragon Colt was. A person who possessed a Flaming Dragon Colt was naturally someone of status.
Just then however the disciples guarding the camp saw the few people riding on the Flaming Dragon Colt. They recognized all of them as they were all disciples of Tong Luo Sect.



Just who are you, and what do you want?
The expression of a middle-aged man who was skinny and tall changed slightly. His gaze was a little hostile as he looked at Mo Wen. He had treated the people of Tong Luo Sect that way and did not seem apologetic for the disrespect. This youth clearly came without any good intentions.

Didn’t I already say that I have come to seek compensation? Get the leader of your sect out here. I don’t have a lot of spare time to listen to your nonsense,
Mo Wen said calmly.

You…
The middle-aged man pointed at Mo Wen and could not say anything for a long time. Wildly arrogant! Too wildly arrogant. He had never encountered anyone so arrogant before. What could Tong Luo Sect owe this person? Even if Tong Luo Sect did owe him something, there was no need to drag so many people into it and come knocking on their door.
However, the man did not act rashly. He simply inhaled deeply before saying in a cold voice,
The two of you, go and call on the great Deputy Sect Leader.
