Ying Lady angrily rejected the wolf-robed youth's advances, but he persisted, overpowering her and her father, Luo Master. The youth, revealed to be Elder Duan of the Canglang Sect, intentionally provoked Luo Master into attacking him, creating a pretext to destroy their escort agency. As Duan gloated and threatened Ying Lady, Mo Hua suddenly intervened, obliterating Duan with a burst of flame.

The surroundings were deathly silent.

Everyone was shocked and speechless.

They hadn't expected that Elder Duan of the Canglang Sect, at the Foundation Establishment Realm, would be killed almost in the blink of an eye by the young and innocent-seeming Mo Hua, with a fireball through his chest.

What terrifying cultivation!

What frightful fireball!

Who exactly is this young man…?

Elder Sun of the Canglang Sect, who hadn't made a move, looked at Mo Hua with caution and asked in a deep voice:

"Who exactly are you, sir?"

Mo Hua answered, "I'm just a passing, kind cultivator."

Elder Sun's gaze turned cold, silently cursing Mo Hua's cunning, but he dared not act rashly due to the fear of Mo Hua's fireball.

He didn't even dare to blame Mo Hua for Elder Duan's death.

He was afraid that if he did, this young cultivator would harbor ill intentions and think of "killing to silence witnesses."

Elder Sun merely clasped his hands and said, "Originally, this was just a misunderstanding. Now that the grievances are resolved, let's just disperse without crossing each other's paths."

He spoke lightly.

Mo Hua shook his head, "Are you secretly planning to appease me first, let my guard down, then report back to the Canglang Sect to bring more cultivators to kill me?"

Elder Sun's heart skipped a beat, his face feigned calmness:

"This matter has nothing to do with me. Why would I make things difficult for you…?"

But as he spoke, he secretly palmed a wolf-claw dart, seeing Mo Hua in a moment of contemplation, he flicked his wrist and skillfully exerted Dark Force, shooting the poison-coated wolf-claw dart toward Mo Hua's heart.

"Young Master, be careful!"

Luo Master, knowing some of the Canglang Sect's sinister moves, immediately warned as Elder Sun made his move.

But by then, it was already too late.

The dart streaked with a purple-black light, already at Mo Hua's chest.

"Hit?!"

Elder Sun's expression showed joy, but the next instant, his face turned pale.

He saw that the young man, with fluid movements, lightly dodged away from his venomous hidden weapon.

Looking intently, he saw the young man with an indifferent face, his fair finger tapping himself, calmly asking:

"Are you trying to kill me?"

Elder Sun felt like his soul was fleeing, quickly stammered, "Misunderstanding, I slipped, please don't blame me…"

As he said "slipped," he had already turned to flee.

But before he had gone far, he saw a crimson fire glow in the corner of his eye, then felt a searing pain in his right leg, losing balance in his movement technique, he fell directly to the ground.

Looking down, Elder Sun found that his right leg had been blown away by a fireball.

The wound was charred, with traces of Evil Qi, sending chills down his spine.

This fireball was too fast, too powerful...

Seeing Elder Duan dead, and the highly skilled Elder Sun also downed with just a fireball, the remaining disciples of the Canglang Sect trembled and took off running as well.

Mo Hua glanced at Luo Master.

Luo Master was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood, urgently shouting:

"Capture them, don't let them escape!"

He acted first, grabbing a large ringed blade from the ground, slashing with knife Qi, and with one stroke, knocked down a disciple of the Canglang Sect.

The other masters and guards, despite their injuries, also attacked the remaining Canglang Sect disciples.

Their cultivation was somewhat lacking, not the match for the Canglang Sect disciples, but they could hold them off temporarily.

During this delay, Luo Master and Ying Lady caught up, their large ringed blade and soft sword flying, taking down all five disciples at the Peak of Qi Refining of the Canglang Sect.

Yet, even with this, they dared not deal killing blows.

The Canglang Sect was not someone a small escort bureau could afford to offend.

Sect disciples were bound and thrown to the ground.

Elder Sun, his right leg charred by the fireball, was also pressed down by Luo Master.

The situation was indeed safe.

But Luo Master's heart was troubled. With years of bumpy experience in Canglang City, he knew that the most challenging part was yet to come.

These people can't be killed. Killing them would mean forming a deadly feud with the Canglang Sect.

They can't be released either. Letting them go would be "releasing the tiger back to the mountain," leading to their own doom.

Neither killing nor releasing them was a viable solution.

Luo Master was in a dilemma, worriedly looking at Mo Hua, asking in a low voice: "Young Master, what do you think…?"

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, sighed, "I'm not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately…"

Luo Master slowly nodded.

Mo Hua then said, "Kill them all."

Luo Master was taken aback, asking: "Didn't you say you are not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately?"

Mo Hua replied, "Not indiscriminately kill the 'innocent', but these people are not innocent…"

Luo Master was stunned, then nodded.

The Canglang Sect had been tyrannical in the area, their disciples' misdeeds were indeed not rare, hardly innocent.

Mo Hua condensed a fireball with his fingers, but the next moment, he extinguished the spell, lowered his hand, turned to Luo Master, and calmly said:

"I have some 'softness' in my heart, not too able to bear killing…"

He was a bit fearful of Evil Qi's backlash.

Luo Master instantly understood Mo Hua's implication.

Young Master Mo's intention was to ensure everyone shares in the difficulties.

He had personally killed Elder Duan of the Canglang Sect, thoroughly angering the Canglang Sect.

Since that was the case, then they all had to share in the Canglang Sect disciples' blood to gain his trust.

In killing, everyone had to have a part.

Luo Master's heart turned cold.

But thinking that Elder Duan may have died at Young Master Mo's hand, the root of the matter still lied with the escort bureau and his daughter.

In retrospect, it was Young Master Mo who stood up for justice and assisted the Luo family's escort bureau.
