"Are you his master?" While everyone was still in shock, Ling Mo Xie raised an eyebrow and boldly asked the old man in blue.
Elder Long and Gao Lao quickly regained their composure, feeling a sense of self-reproach. There was no need to be so surprised; after all, he was from the Illusory Void Sect! It was not unusual! Just moments ago, they thought Ling Mo Xie's mental fortitude was lacking, but now it seemed they were not even as composed as a young man!
"I am the current leader of the Illusory Void Sect! As long as you release Fei Er, I am willing to steal something for you, anything at all!" The old man in blue looked at the calm Ling Mo Xie with bright eyes, showing some admiration as he nodded and spoke.
"That's unnecessary. Xiao Fei is already prepared to follow me! Old man, you're not young anymore; you should find a place to retire! Otherwise, you might get caught!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled lightly, putting his arm around Bai Yun Fei's shoulder.
Bai Yun Fei had a mournful expression and was about to retort when Ling Mo Xie glanced at him. A sense of helplessness rose within him, as if he could not refute Ling Mo Xie's words no matter what.
This was not because Ling Mo Xie was particularly impressive; it was entirely due to the power of the System. As a Celestial Servant, he could not contradict anything his master said.
The old man in blue frowned and said unhappily, "Kid, don't be ungrateful! Although my Illusory Void Sect has declined over the years, we are still not afraid of your country's largest sect, let alone you! You better release Fei Er quickly! Otherwise..." A glint of menace flashed in the old man's eyes.
Elder Long and Gao Lao were both startled and wanted to persuade Ling Mo Xie to release Bai Yun Fei. Although Gao Lao had the same cultivation level as the old man in blue, when it came to fighting, he was indeed far behind. After all, the old man's speed was evident, and his strengths did not lie in combat.
Historically, those who offended the Illusory Void Sect had met with dire consequences! Over thousands of years, many had crossed paths with them, but one of the most tragic cases involved Yin Wuhui, the leader of the Divine Martial Sect over two thousand years ago.
It is said that during his tribulation phase, Yin Wuhui offended the then-leader of the Illusory Void Sect, Xiang Wentian. Overnight, all the sect's secret manuals and treasures vanished without a trace. Even more absurdly, Yin Wuhui's wife's undergarment was stolen and sold on the black market by Xiang Wentian.
Yin Wuhui lost face terribly and was furious. Due to the significance of their sect's techniques, even Scattered Immortal-level elders were called upon but still couldn't touch a hair on Xiang Wentian. Instead, they only angered him further. The next day, not a single piece of clothing could be found within their entire sect; it was utterly clean!
In the end, it took an elder's intervention to dismiss Yin Wuhui from his position as leader before Xiang Wentian calmed down and returned what had been stolen.
In this strict world of Level, the people of Illusionary Void Sect have always been known for breaking the rules! Not to mention Gao Lao and Long Lao, even the king of Izumo Kingdom and the leaders of the three major Sects might not be able to handle them!
Ling Mo Xie, however, seemed completely oblivious to the expressions of the two, still smiling and showing no intention of listening to Gao Lao and Long Lao to release Bai Yunfei. He feigned helplessness and said, “Oh! What do you mean by release? That sounds so harsh! I never captured Little Fei; he chose to hang out with me!”
“Hmph! Kid! Don’t try to argue your way out of this! Look! What is this?” The Blue-Clad Old Man raised his hand, holding a ring that was very ancient-looking, made from materials used to forge a Heavenly Tier Spirit Weapon. It appeared quite noble.
What is this? Ling Mo Xie was taken aback, stroking his chin and thinking: This looks familiar! But I don’t have that ring, and all my belongings are in the system backpack. With the power of the system, even someone from Illusionary Void Sect couldn’t possibly steal something from my backpack, right?
“That’s my family head's ring from the Ling Family!” exclaimed Ling Siwen, quickly raising her hand. Upon inspection, she found that the ring she usually wore on her thumb was indeed missing! She was even more shocked; is this the power of Illusionary Void Sect?
Even Gao Lao, who was on par with that old man, didn’t notice the actions of the Blue-Clad Old Man. It seemed like he hadn’t moved at all before taking that ring.
In fact, the Blue-Clad Old Man was also helpless. He originally intended to steal from Ling Mo Xie, but couldn’t find anything on him; he only had a set of clothes. He didn’t have a habit of stealing men’s clothing, so he had no choice but to target Ling Siwen, who bore some resemblance to Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie furrowed his brows, no longer smiling playfully. He coldly said to the Blue-Clad Old Man: “Return the ring!”
“Kid, I think you’re not seeing the situation clearly! Quickly release Little Fei, or do you believe I’ll destroy this ring right now? Don’t think that just because it’s made from Heavenly Tier materials, I can’t do anything about it! My Illusionary Void Sect has its ways with treasures; destroying Heavenly Tier materials is also easy for me!” The Blue-Clad Old Man grinned at Ling Mo Xie, holding the ring.
“It’s you who doesn’t see the situation clearly!” The expression in Ling Mo Xie’s eyes deepened as he looked at the Blue-Clad Old Man. Suddenly narrowing his eyes, he saw beside him that Bai Yunfei transformed into a wisp of breeze and in an instant had taken the ring and presented it before Ling Mo Xie. Although he wore a pained expression, he indeed did so.
“Little Fei, you...” The Blue-Clad Old Man looked at Bai Yunfei in astonishment. Because he didn’t regard these people as threats, he had let down his guard and allowed Bai Yunfei to take it so easily.
With a sorrowful face, Bai Yunfei glanced at the ring that had already been handed over to Ling Mo Xie, feeling wronged as he called out: “Master!”
"You little brat! Didn't you say you wanted to be the greatest thief in history? Now you're content to be someone else's servant! Forget it, don't call me master; I have no disciple like you!" The Blue-Clad Old Man was stunned for a while before reacting, angrily saying this and turning to leave.
"Master! Master! Hey! Master, don't go!" Bai Yunfei hurriedly called out.
But the Blue-Clad Old Man was too angry to listen to Bai Yunfei's pleas and quickly vanished from sight.
"Sigh! Master, I really didn't do this willingly! Please save me!" Bai Yunfei lowered his head in frustration, his voice filled with despair, as if it were snowing in June!
"Alright! Alright! Can't you still become the greatest thief in history by following me? At that time, your master will come running to find you! Don't worry! I won't restrict you!" Ling Mo Xie patted Bai Yunfei on the shoulder and grinned.
