"Hey? What happened over there? Do you need help?" A person at a nearby table turned to ask Ling Mo Xie after hearing a loud thud.
"Uh, he's drunk! Haha! It's nothing, really!" Ling Mo Xie quickly replied with a laugh, continuously patting Luo Yan's shoulder.
"Oh, how could he be drunk? I see this person is also a cultivator..." the person mumbled as he turned away.
Ling Mo Xie wiped the cold sweat from his brow. If these people discovered that Luo Yan was an Evil Cultivator, it would be trouble. Right now, disciples of the Da Luo Sect were still scattered throughout the Blazing Flame City.
Even the tavern Ling Mo Xie chose was located in a remote area, which was why there were no members of the Da Luo Sect around. Disciples from such sects were accustomed to using good resources for their missions, and naturally, they sought quality accommodations.
However, if anything major happened, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Da Luo Sect members.
"Ha!" Ling Mo Xie let out a long breath and said to Bai Yunfei, "You all continue eating; I'll take him back to his room."
With that, he stood up, grabbed Luo Yan's arm, and prepared to throw him over his shoulder to carry him back.
"That is..." Just then, as Ling Mo Xie stood up and casually glanced out the window, his expression suddenly changed with a hint of confusion. He then tossed Luo Yan, who was almost on his shoulder, back down and said to Bai Yunfei, "You carry him back; I'll be right back."
Without waiting for a response, he leaped out of the window without even bothering to use the door.
Outside the tavern was a secluded alley where a flicker of red light was disappearing around the corner.
Ling Mo Xie furrowed his brows and quickly followed.
After taking just a few steps and reaching the corner of the alley, he heard several voices conversing inside.
"Boss, this girl you brought back is really beautiful; you truly are impressive!"
"Yeah! Haha, Boss, this little girl seems like she's still a virgin. Why don't we let the brothers have some fun first... before sending her off to entertain guests? Otherwise, it would be such a waste!" A coarse voice chuckled.
"Get lost! What do you know? This girl seems to have some cultivation; I don't know if she's poisoned or what. I took her down with just three punches and two kicks. I think we should first detoxify her before selling her to those noble young masters; they love this kind of thing and can pay well!"
"Uh... right! Right! The Boss is amazing; you have a plan! Once we have spirit stones, what kind of women can't we find? Haha!"
"Exactly! The Boss is still brilliant!"
Two other voices began to echo the words of the leader.
Ling Mo Xie frowned, damn! It turns out they are human traffickers. These people were rampant back on Earth! You could often hear news about college students going missing, but I never expected this business to have made its way into the world of cultivation!
Ling Mo Xie still had a sense of justice, and moreover, he had caught a glimpse earlier and thought that the woman looked somewhat like a person...
So, Ling Mo Xie took a few steps around the corner and saw the scene before him.
It was a closed alley, but with his keen eyes, Ling Mo Xie quickly noticed that there was actually a door on the wall blocking the alley that was the same color as the wall; if you didn’t look closely, you really wouldn’t be able to tell.
At that moment, the person he had seen earlier carrying the woman was handing her over to the other two, who were presumably the leaders coming to pick her up.
Since the woman had her back to Ling Mo Xie, he hadn’t seen her face yet, but her figure resembled Sun Xiaoxiao quite a bit!
Before Ling Mo Xie could say anything, the three men glared at him and shouted, “Where did this wild kid come from? Don’t meddle in our business! Get lost!”
Hearing their words, Ling Mo Xie sneered and said with a smile, “Meddle in your business? That woman in your hands is mine! I think you’re the ones who are really bold!”
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, the three men not only weren’t afraid but exchanged glances and burst into laughter. This kid looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old; how powerful could he be?
“Haha! Yours? At such a young age, trying to talk about love? Do you see this? This is what happens when you have no power! Little Dragon, Little Tiger, grab this kid! I want him to watch helplessly as his woman is taken by someone else!” The one who seemed to be the leader laughed maniacally as he took the red-clothed woman from Little Dragon and Little Tiger.
At that moment, the woman was facing Ling Mo Xie; it was indeed Sun Xiaoxiao.
Ling Mo Xie's eyes burned with anger. “Very well! You’ve successfully provoked me!”
Little Dragon and Little Tiger both looked to be in their forties or fifties but were only at the mid-stage of Lingxu. They charged toward Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie watched as the two of them moved quickly while channeling their Spiritual Energy. He calmly narrowed his eyes, took out the Coiling Dragon Sword from his backpack, and smirked coldly as he softly uttered, “Slash the Sea!”
As soon as Ling Mo Xie's words fell, an invisible force surged through the empty air, causing ripples like waves in the sea to rush toward the two men.
As the "waves" surged forward, a hissing sound echoed from nowhere. In an instant, Little Dragon and Little Tiger were torn in half. Although their Health Points hadn’t completely dropped yet, for those who weren’t digitized by the System, this naturally meant death!
After all, they were split in two; unless one practiced certain special techniques, even immortals would die from such injuries!
"Blood" splattered all over the alley.
The so-called boss, seeing the scene before him, was instantly drenched in cold sweat. Who exactly is this kid?
"You... you better not act rashly! Otherwise, I'll kill this woman!" The boss trembled, quickly reacting as he grabbed Sun Xiaoxiao's neck with one hand and gathered Spiritual Energy with the other.
Sun Xiaoxiao had already fainted; otherwise, she would definitely be struggling violently right now, and might even beat up the boss!
Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but think this way.
However, after glancing at the distance between himself and the boss, as well as his own skill release speed, Ling Mo Xie frowned.
Damn it! In his previous life, he often saw such things on TV, and every time he wished the protagonist would just ignore the woman's fate and directly beat up the villain!
But now that this was happening to him, Ling Mo Xie felt a bit helpless. Only by experiencing it himself did he understand others' feelings!
"Let her go, and I'll let you leave!" Ling Mo Xie said calmly, pretending to be composed. He knew that the more anxious he appeared, the more the "boss" would take advantage of him!
