"Really?" Zhou Xinyi looked up happily at Ling Mo Xie. "Of course!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled, pinching Zhou Xinyi's petite nose.
The horse pulling the carriage was a first-class spirit beast, the Gale Horse. So it didn't take long to reach Tianfeng City. Looking out from the carriage window, Tianfeng City was indeed much more prosperous than Hongfeng Town! The city walls were two or three hundred meters high, and the roads inside the city were made of solid sky-blue stone tiles; even the alleys were wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side!
Many vendors and pedestrians lined the streets, and upon seeing the carriage adorned with the "Ling" flag approaching, they respectfully stepped aside.
But at that moment, a similarly luxurious carriage coming from the opposite direction did not yield and charged straight ahead. Seeing Ling Mo Xie's carriage, someone shouted loudly, "Which brat is up ahead? Why don't you let this young master pass?"
Inside a luxurious restaurant on the side of the street, two elegantly dressed young men on the second floor were smiling as they watched the scene unfold below. One of them, holding a wine cup, said with a grin, "Xiao Wu, what do you think? This intimidation tactic is pretty good! That Ling Mo Xie grew up in a rural place like Hongfeng Town; he must be scared out of his wits right now!"
"Haha! Third Young Master! You really know how to handle things! Let's show that old man! Even if Ling Mo Xie's talent suddenly appears, so what? He still won't amount to anything!" The other young man, dressed in white like snow, picked up some food and took a drink while laughing heartily. "Later, let's invite that Chen Lian kid up for a drink!"
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie inside the carriage heard the commotion outside and frowned. It seemed that life in Tianfeng City would not be peaceful! After calming down the startled Zhou Xinyi, Ling Mo Xie snorted coldly and said loudly, "Good dogs don’t block the way! Which vicious dog is outside?"
Riding beside Ling Mo Xie's carriage and watching everything with cold eyes was Azure Robed Man, who flashed a hint of surprise but remained silent.
Inside the luxurious carriage sat a young man dressed in ornate robes with jade pendants and fragrant pouches piled around his waist. He wore a purple-gold phoenix crown and had a fierce expression—this was Chen Lian! The Chen family was considered a second-tier family in Tianfeng City, their influence only beneath the three Big Families! Chen Lian had volunteered to come here to impress Ling Family's Third Young Master Ling Qilong and give this so-called country bumpkin from Ling Family's Old Seven a taste of intimidation!
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words now left him speechless, his face turning red.
A servant outside noticed that his master was slow to respond and cautiously suggested while bending over, "Young Master! Since this Ling Mo Xie could be sent to such a rural place, he must not be valued highly! Don't be afraid of him; if mere words can't scare him off, let's show him our strength!"
Chen Lian's eyes flickered as he sneered and said, "Alright!"
He then drew a yellow-grade medium-quality longsword from its sheath and infused it with spiritual energy. A long beam of sword light shot directly toward Ling Mo Xie's carriage!
The onlookers around gasped in shock—did the Chen family actually dare to attack a member of the Ling family in Tianfeng City?
Ling Mo Xie sensed the fierce aura approaching, pulled aside the curtain, stepped out of the Carriage, and let out a cold laugh. He took out the Balao Blade and executed a skill from the Nine Waves Long River Blade Technique! A more intense blade light appeared, directly clashing with the sword beam!
Following that, eight more blade lights surged forward, instantly shattering the sword beam and heading straight for Chen Lian's palanquin!
Ling Mo Xie's gaze was sharp as he glared at the luxurious palanquin, saying, "Do you think you can bully me? Dare to block my path? I'll make sure you can never do so again!"
As he spoke, a fireball shot directly towards the palanquin across from him!
The Crimson Fire Technique required others to reach the initial stage of enlightenment to practice, but for Ling Mo Xie, it was merely a matter of pressing the learn button! He was just looking for a place to test its power when Chen Lian delivered himself right to his doorstep!
At this moment, the Fireball Technique had a note indicating it was entry-level. There was also a proficiency value showing 010; after using it once, it changed to 110!
A basketball-sized fireball roared toward Chen Lian's palanquin. The Guard beside the palanquin quickly cast a spell to intercept the fireball, preventing any damage to the palanquin.
In the tavern above, Ling Qilong dropped his wine cup with a crash as he turned from leaning against the railing. He said to Ling Family Fifth Ling Lijin, who was sitting at the table beside him, "This... this Ling Mo Xie can actually use magic!"
"What!" Ling Lijin exclaimed as he jumped up and rushed to the window. He looked down just in time to see Ling Mo Xie's fireball being blocked by Chen Lian's Guard!
"Damn it! Could he really be a genius?" Ling Lijin slammed his fist against the railing in frustration.
They had only learned magic after reaching the enlightenment stage themselves. They had also investigated Ling Mo Xie's cultivation level, which was merely Foundation Establishment. They could crush him with just a flick of their fingers! But if Ling Mo Xie could learn magic at the Foundation Establishment stage, that would change everything!
Such a genius would definitely be prioritized for cultivation by their family. Not only could they not crush him, but even a single word from Ling Mo Xie could make them uncomfortable!
Meanwhile, on the street, Chen Lian was completely at a loss. He could intimidate Ling Mo Xie, but he absolutely dared not take any real action against him! And now that Ling Mo Xie showed no fear of his intimidation, he suddenly found himself without any options!
"Hmph!" Ling Mo Xie coldly snorted when he saw his fireball intercepted, turning to the Azure Robed Man beside the carriage and saying, "Zhou Steward, since I am the young master, will you follow my orders?"
The Azure Robed Man was puzzled but replied, "Yes!"
"Good!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled lightly. "Attack!" He pointed at Chen Lian and the others.
As the steward of the Ling family, the Azure Robed Man naturally had no fear of Chen Lian. Hearing Ling Mo Xie's command, he did not hesitate and waved his hand. The young men following him began to unleash spells towards Chen Lian's carriage!
In an instant, sparks, strong winds, and snow-like rain appeared in succession! Chen Lian's few bodyguards were only at the mid-stage of Enlightenment, while Ling Mo Xie's group consisted of late-stage Enlightenment cultivators, easily overwhelming their opponents!
Ling Mo Xie was not to be outdone either; fireballs shot out continuously, and his proficiency kept rising, causing him to smile with squinted eyes. Chen Lian truly arrived at just the right time!
"Clang! Clang!" The sound of iron armor clashing and synchronized footsteps echoed as a glimmer of silver reflected in the sunlight from afar.
"What are those people?" Ling Mo Xie turned to the Azure Robed Man beside him with a puzzled expression.
"That's the City Guard!" the Azure Robed Man replied calmly, showing no signs of fear.
City Guard? Ling Mo Xie thought: they are probably similar to police in my previous life?
