"Ah!"
Great Elder of Mo Family let out a bloodcurdling scream, and the others were also startled by Xiao Li's sudden action.
He attacked without hesitation, and Great Elder of Mo Family, a Dou Ling expert, had an arm severed without any chance to retaliate.
Xiao Li's strength was beyond their imagination.
"Who exactly are you people?!" Great Elder of Mo Family roared in anger.
"Hand over the little girl named Green Scale that you captured from Stone Desert City, and I can spare your lives. Otherwise, today can be your birthday, and it can also be your death day." Xiao Li maintained a calm expression.
The other people present looked at each other, some even gloating.
Xiao Li was clearly targeting the Mo Family, which meant it had nothing to do with them.
If Xiao Li were to attack the Mo Family, it would actually be a good thing for the others, as they all disliked the Mo Family.
But not everyone stood by idly.
"Friend, I don't know how the Mo Family offended you, but please, for the sake of our Yunlan Sect, can we all sit down and discuss a peaceful resolution?" Nalan Yanran said from the side.
Xiao Li's methods surprised her; he acted decisively, without any hesitation.
Nalan Yanran could tell that Xiao Li's cultivation was very high.
However, the Mo Family and Yunlan Sect had a deep relationship. Yun Yun had sent her to congratulate Great Elder of Mo Family on his birthday this time, indicating that Yun Yun also valued the Mo Family greatly.
If Nalan Yanran allowed Xiao Li to cause trouble in the Mo Family without intervening, it would not look good.
"I know your teacher. For the sake of you being Yun Yun's disciple, I won't blame you. But don't meddle in others' affairs, as you are not qualified enough to protect the Mo Family." Xiao Li said.
He had no grievances with Nalan Yanran. If it weren't for the current situation, he would even be happy to tease her a bit.
However, the current mission was to rescue Green Scale first; everything else had to be put aside.
"You know my teacher?" Nalan Yanran was surprised.
Xiao Li actually knew Yun Yun?
But why had she never heard of Xiao Li?
"My name is Xiao Li. You can go back and ask your teacher, but for now, don't meddle." Xiao Li's gaze returned to Great Elder of Mo Family.
"Also, the person I want, why hasn't she appeared after so long? My patience is running out."
"We will never return that girl to you!" Great Elder of Mo Family said through gritted teeth.
"I was waiting for you to say that."
Xiao Li raised his hand again, unleashing a verdant green flame that instantly engulfed Great Elder of Mo Family, burning him to ashes.
Since he was so stubborn, there was no need to show mercy.
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
He actually killed him just like that, without giving any face?!
How ruthless!
"So easily burned, trash." Looking at Great Elder of Mo Family, who had been reduced to ashes, Xiao Li spat in disdain.
"Is there anyone else in the Mo Family who can speak?"
Soon, a man walked out trembling.
"I am Mo Lan, the Mo Family Patriarch."
"Mo Family Patriarch... acceptable." Xiao Li snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Flames surged, instantly burning all the Mo Family members present, except for Mo Lan, to ashes.
The rising temperature sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.
So ruthless!
Vicious and merciless, without a shred of leniency!
Mo Lan was also dumbfounded.
What kind of monster had Great Elder of Mo Family provoked for their Mo Family?!
"I don't want to repeat the same thing too many times. If you don't hand over the person, I will kill everyone in your Mo Family, and then find the person myself." Xiao Li said.
"I, I'll bring her up immediately."
Mo Lan was so scared that he quickly went to fetch her himself.
Nalan Yanran watched from the side, her cherry lips agape in surprise, unsure of what to do.
Xiao Li had killed so many people from the Mo Family in front of so many witnesses.
She wanted to intervene but lacked the ability, so she could only wait until she returned to tell Yun Yun about what happened here... Soon, Mo Lan brought Green Scale up.
At this moment, Green Scale's hands and feet were cuffed. From her appearance, she didn't seem to have any injuries, but her pitiful look was heartbreaking.
"Young Master Xiao Li..."
Seeing the only familiar face in the crowd, Green Scale froze for a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes.
After Mo Lan uncuffed her, Green Scale couldn't help but rush towards Xiao Li, throwing herself into his arms and crying aggrievedly.
"It's alright, it's over now. Let's go home." Xiao Li gently patted the girl's back to comfort her.
Then, he left the Mo Family with Green Scale.
Only the guests in the hall remained, looking at the Mo Family members who had been burned to ashes, exchanging bewildered glances.
Just as Xiao Li had said, today was Great Elder of Mo Family's birthday, and also his death day.
Leaving the Mo Family, Xiao Li, holding Green Scale, flew back towards Stone Desert City with Hai Bodong.
But just as they had left Yan City, two green lights suddenly lit up in the dark night sky.
They were two streaks of Dou Qi, shooting towards them with fierce momentum!
"Profound Ice Shield!"
Hai Bodong decisively conjured two ice shields in front of him, blocking the incoming attacks.
"Roar!"
A massive shadow suddenly flew up from below, with a clear target, heading straight for Hai Bodong!
The surging, powerful aura made Hai Bodong's pupils contract, and he quickly exerted all his strength to create an ice shield to defend.
Bang!
But the ice shield was directly shattered by a single blow, and the terrifying impact sent Hai Bodong flying.
It was a black snake with eight wings all over its body, and its cultivation had reached the level of an Eight or Nine-Star Dou Huang!
"Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor?"
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, immediately summoning the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Spear.
Just as he was about to help Hai Bodong, a ball of verdant green energy transformed into a cage, trapping him inside.
Then, a woman in green flew in front of Xiao Li.
"Young man, hand over that little girl, and we can spare your lives." Green Savage said.
Hearing her words, Green Scale immediately tensed up.
These people also came for her?
She couldn't help but nervously grasp Xiao Li's clothes; now, only Xiao Li could give her a sense of security.
"I thought you wouldn't show up; turns out you were waiting for us here." Xiao Li's expression was calm.
Since there was no movement at the Mo Family, he thought the people from Heavenly Serpent Mansion had given up.
Turns out they were here.
"What if I refuse?"
"If you refuse, then we'll cripple you first, and then take that little girl away." Green Savage let out a clear, charming laugh, her graceful figure swaying with her soft laughter.
Although she wore a veil, judging from her figure and temperament, her appearance beneath the veil would definitely not be bad.
"Well said, but while you were waiting for me, I was actually waiting for you to deliver yourselves to my doorstep." Looking at Green Savage's graceful figure, Xiao Li's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
"Since you've come, then don't leave."
"Four Symbols Array, activate!"
