Hearing Ling Mo Xie's comforting words, Zeng Zhou could only shake her head. There was nothing left in the tent; something must have happened to her.
Zeng Zhou remained silent for a long time before turning around to Ling Mo Xie and saying, "Thank you for saving me. However, the Azure Emperor's faction has captured many civilians like me for experiments. I hope that... if you have the chance, you can rescue them too! I will take Young Lady and leave, so I won't trouble you any further."
"Hmph! Don't think you can just walk away! Kid, don't assume that just because you have some cultivation, you can do whatever you want. Remember, there are always people stronger than you out there!"
A voice came from behind the crowd, filled with arrogance. Ling Mo Xie immediately recognized it as the person who had targeted Zeng Zhou earlier. However, he had clearly been severely injured before; how was he now full of energy?
Moreover, he even dared to come and cause trouble?
"Haha! Little Wood, are these the little kids you're talking about? Haha, don't worry! Since you've offered me quite a few good things, I'll help teach them a lesson! But make sure to find me more delicate beauties like last time!"
A voice that had not been heard before spoke lewdly.
Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei turned around. Ling Mo Xie squinted at Little Wood, who wore a smug expression, standing next to someone dressed in an incongruous brocade robe.
The person exuded a vibe reminiscent of a small-time thug from Earth but wore several storage rings on his fingers like a nouveau riche. These were the adventurers who profited during chaotic times.
Because those big families and even the city lord's mansion were focused on the Azure Emperor's faction, eagerly waiting for them to develop pills to dispel grievances, these small-time thug-like "adventurers" went unchecked.
They were somewhat clever, only oppressing commoners and avoiding conflicts with the children of noble families and sects. Relying on their slightly better cultivation than ordinary people, they lived quite comfortably.
For instance, the one in front of Ling Mo Xie was merely a cultivator at the early stage of the Abandoning Grain realm.
"Teach a lesson? Hmph! Let me teach you a lesson instead!" Ling Mo Xie was already in a bad mood after witnessing so many absurd things today; these two were practically delivering themselves to his doorstep.
Before either of them could boast further, Ling Mo Xie launched himself forward with a flying sword aimed at the "adventurer."
The man had been expecting Ling Mo Xie and his companions to kneel and beg for his forgiveness. However, when he saw Ling Mo Xie's attack coming toward him, he didn't have time to react and was sent flying by Ling Mo Xie's strike, losing half his life in an instant.
The person referred to as Little Wood had a face that twitched, which was originally filled with prideful smiles, now filled with regret. How could this young boy be so powerful? He really shouldn't have invited someone over!
"Bai Yunfei, bring him to me!" Ling Mo Xie glanced at Little Wood and then looked at the Adventurer who had fallen to the ground, speaking to Bai Yunfei with a tone full of anger.
Bai Yunfei chuckled, "Understood!" In an instant, he transformed into a gust of wind and reappeared in front of Ling Mo Xie, holding the Adventurer, from whom blood was still gushing out.
Ling Mo Xie looked at the spurting blood without concern; cultivators are not so easily killed!
"Smack!" Ling Mo Xie swung his hand and slapped the Adventurer's face. "I told you to stop being a thug, I told you to stop flaunting your power, I told you not to dare call yourselves Adventurers, I told you..."
With each sentence Ling Mo Xie spoke, he delivered a slap to the Adventurer's face. At first, the Adventurer struggled fiercely, shouting loudly and threatening Ling Mo Xie.
But as Ling Mo Xie's slaps continued, he no longer had the strength to utter any threats and could only beg for mercy: "Please, stop hitting me! I know I was wrong! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Seeing the miserable state of the Adventurer, Little Wood dared not linger any longer and tried to sneak away.
However, Ling Mo Xie was observant and attentive. While slapping the Adventurer, he also kept an eye on Little Wood and noticed he was preparing to escape.
With a mocking tone, he said, "Oh! Weren't you going to teach me that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens? Why are you trying to run away?"
Little Wood's legs trembled as he wore a pitifully flattering smile on his face. "My lord, uh no! Great... Great sir! I-I won't dare offend you again; please let me go! Oh right! I still have many things here; what do you want? Just take a look!"
Little Wood took out a relatively luxurious Storage Ring from his pocket and began pulling out items from it. However, his eyes were fierce and shifty, clearly not genuinely repentant.
Ling Mo Xie stopped slapping the Adventurer and walked towards Little Wood.
Little Wood hurriedly pointed at the items in front of him: "You can take whatever you want!" His face displayed a fawning expression.
The Adventurer, who was nearly dazed from the slaps by Ling Mo Xie, saw what Little Wood had brought out and shouted angrily: "Little Wood, you bastard! How could you keep so many things for yourself? If it weren't for our Eastern City Association, would you be able to flaunt your power and collect so many items?"
Ling Mo Xie heard this and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Would the Eastern City care?
It seemed he had some fun ahead. Since no one else was going to take charge, he would do it himself!
Although he couldn't eliminate all the injustices in the world or restore clarity to the heavens and earth, he couldn't stand by and watch what was happening right in front of him—he had to intervene!
"Ding! Congratulations! You have triggered a hidden chain quest: What is the Immortal Path?"
A voice from the System sounded, and Ling Mo Xie was momentarily stunned. Had he triggered a quest again? Was it the legendary hidden quest?
Hidden quests in the Game were often lucrative; he wondered what this one would be like.
Though excited, Ling Mo Xie suppressed his emotions and did not immediately check the quest details. Instead, he looked down at Little Wood, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Do you still not know where you went wrong?"
Little Wood was taken aback and quickly replied, "I-I shouldn't have offended you, my lord. You can take whatever is on the ground! Just take it!"
Ling Mo Xie glanced down at the items. They weren't particularly good or bad; to a Sect Disciple, they were nothing special, but to commoners, they were rare treasures.
"Such an unteachable child!" Ling Mo Xie sighed, then mocked himself inwardly: What could he teach? In his past life, he had been seen as a bad student obsessed with Game by his teacher! Yet for some reason, after arriving in this world, he had become more sentimental.
