The people walking towards Ling Mo Xie appeared even more surprised than he was, all gazing at Ling Mo Xie and his companions with puzzled expressions.
"Young man, are you all... heading to Skywind City?" Finally, a somewhat hunched old man approached and asked Ling Mo Xie.
"Uh, yes! What's the matter? What about you all?" Ling Mo Xie nodded and pointed at those heading in the opposite direction of Skywind City, wondering why they looked like they were fleeing.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, the old man waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't go, don't go there! Alas! Such misfortune!" The old man shook his head and was about to bypass Ling Mo Xie and the others to continue on his way.
Ling Mo Xie quickly reached out to stop the old man and said, "Old Man, what exactly happened in Skywind City? Please tell us!"
The old man turned around in surprise with his hands behind his back. "You still want to go? You can't go to Skywind City now!"
Ling Mo Xie's heart sank. Could it be that something really happened in Skywind City? His cheap grandfather was still in Skywind City. He could ignore those fools from the Ling Family who only knew how to fight among themselves, but he couldn't ignore the old man.
"Old Man, just tell us what happened in Skywind City!" Ling Mo Xie looked sincerely at the old man as he spoke.
The old man sighed and shook his head. "A few days ago, a huge wave of Resentment suddenly erupted from the city lord's mansion in Skywind City. In an instant, it spread throughout Skywind City. Those with high cultivation fled immediately, while those with lower cultivation... many who had relatives in other cities have left Skywind City. Those with nowhere to go are now in a camp outside the city."
Hearing the old man's words, Ling Mo Xie frowned. It was indeed Resentment; this Resentment couldn't have come from nowhere. Cang Qian had come to resolve the Resentment from the Azure Light Secret Realm.
Ling Mo Xie also recalled that Elder Feng had previously told him that Cang Qian had moved into the city lord's mansion due to a conflict with him!
With this thought, Ling Mo Xie began to speculate; it seemed that this incident was caused by Cang Qian.
Worried about Ling Siwen, Ling Mo Xie quickly asked the old man again, "Old Man, do you know about the Ling Family in the city? How are they doing?"
"The Ling Family? Are you from the Ling Family?" The old man looked up and down at Ling Mo Xie for a moment before suddenly recalling something and realizing, "Oh! You must be Ling Mo Xie! I wondered how someone from the Ling Family could be so polite to an ordinary person like me!"
Seeing that the old man was about to continue his musings, Ling Mo Xie quickly interrupted him and asked, "Old Man, what happened to them?"
"Ah, the Ling family is indeed a big family, so there shouldn't be any major issues. They are currently stationed at the camp outside the city. Since you are one of the Ling family, I won't advise you further." The old man waved his hand, bid farewell to Ling Mo Xie, and slowly turned to leave.
"Boss, it seems that it was that Cang Qin fellow who caused this mess, even getting Sun Xiao Xiao into such trouble. He seems to have quite a few good things; should I...?"
Bai Yun Fei leaned in sneakily towards Ling Mo Xie after hearing the old man's words.
Ling Mo Xie shot him a glare. "Last time you succeeded, it was because Elder Feng was present, drawing his attention. Don't act recklessly; if you get caught, I can't protect you!"
"Are we just going to let them cause trouble and continue being arrogant? They are from the Azure Emperor's faction! When the time comes, they will find a way to dispel their grievances. The people of Tianfeng City won't blame them; they'll thank them! Moreover, Sun Xiao Xiao has also been affected by the grievances. Are you really going to remain indifferent?"
Bai Yun Fei expressed his dissatisfaction, and Xiao Chi beside him nodded in agreement.
Ling Mo Xie's expression turned cold as he snorted and said, "Of course, I won't let them off easily. I remember I still have a match with Ning Qi coming up! With them in this state now, they probably won't even have time to deal with the Azure Light Secret Realm."
Bai Yun Fei paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why are you bringing this up now? Do you still have time to compete with Ning Qi?"
Hearing Bai Yun Fei's puzzled question, Ling Mo Xie felt speechless and could no longer maintain his cold demeanor. He turned around and slapped him on the head.
"Why are you so foolish? Haven't I made myself clear enough? Just use this opportunity with the grievances to compete with him. I already have a method to eliminate the grievances; isn't this almost a guaranteed win? At that time, I can humiliate him properly and at least recover some interest."
Bai Yun Fei sulked and didn't respond but pointed ahead and said, "It looks like we've arrived!"
Ling Mo Xie turned around and saw several tents set up in the nearby forest.
Could this be the camp that old man mentioned? It's quite a distance from Tianfeng City; has the situation with the grievances become this severe?
"Don't run! If you dare to run again, I'll kill your daughter!"
"Wah... wah..."
A loud noise came from nearby, and Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei exchanged glances, both recognizing the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Let's go take a look!" Ling Mo Xie whispered, quietly moving toward the source of the sound.
They saw a person dressed in Azure Emperor sect attire, holding a young child in his arms. Opposite him was a... humanoid creature that was continuously retreating.
The humanoid creature was covered in terrifying black spots, which protruded like lumps, making it look extremely ugly.
"Beast! You beasts! You've already turned me into this, isn't it enough?" the humanoid creature cried out sorrowfully, appearing emotionally agitated.
The Azure Emperor sect disciple merely sneered and said, "We're doing this for your own good. If we don't experiment on you, when will we ever develop the elixir to dispel resentment? Don't worry; once it's developed, we'll give it to your family first as a token of gratitude for your contribution! Now come back with me!"
Bai Yunfei looked at Ling Mo Xie and whispered, "Could it be that the Azure Emperor sect doesn't have a recipe for the elixir to dispel resentment?"
Ling Mo Xie squinted his eyes and glanced at Bai Yunfei. "It seems that way! But it's strange; the Azure Emperor sect is such a large faction and specializes in alchemy. How could they not have a recipe for dispelling resentment?"
"Hey! Shouldn't your focus be elsewhere? The people of the Azure Emperor sect are actually using living beings to develop recipes?" Xiao Chi, who was munching on candied hawthorn, rolled his eyes at Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei and gestured toward the humanoid creature.
"Ah ha! Right!" Ling Mo Xie nodded. It was indeed shocking that the Azure Emperor sect had turned a perfectly healthy person into this state; he couldn't wrap his head around it.
