"What's going on?"

"Why didn't it work?"

Sitting in her room, Yu Yunwei bit her finger and looked at the wooden house where Xiao Mo lived not far away.

Although Xiao Mo was one realm higher than her, her illusions had controlled Cave Mansion realm cultivators before, and they were even adults.

Xiao Mo was the same age as her and had no defenses against her whatsoever.

By all logic, when she tried to control him with illusions this afternoon, it should have been very easy to succeed but unexpectedly, Xiao Mo had broken free from her control in just an instant.

"Does he have some special ability? Or is his mental strength so powerful that I can't even imagine it?"

Yu Yunwei furrowed her brow, completely puzzled.

Especially when she recalled the conversation between her master and Xiao Mo, Yu Yunwei felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Xiao Mo seemed to stand on equal footing with her master.

Why?

Why could he speak to Master Xue Kui with that kind of attitude?

Moreover, her own talent wasn't low either, so why did master only have eyes for him?!

A vicious glint flashed in Yu Yunwei's eyes.

She had to think of other methods!

Over the next few days, Yu Yunwei didn't make any more strange moves.

On the contrary, Yu Yunwei appeared very well-behaved.

Yu Yunwei helped Xiao Mo and Xue Kui wash clothes, cook meals, and clean the courtyard.

When Xiao Mo was tired from practicing his blade techniques, Yu Yunwei would promptly bring him a bowl of tea.

Xiao Mo treated her as if that day's incident hadn't happened, still treating her as a junior sister.

Yu Yunwei showed some interest in the Blood Demon Sword Formula, but Xue Kui was absorbed in her stories and didn't want to teach her, so Xiao Mo taught her a few moves but it could only be said that she truly wasn't suited for blade practice.

A month later, Xiao Mo needed to go to Ten Thousand Demon Town to buy some things, and Yu Yunwei also went with him.

"I'm going to buy some medicinal herbs. Junior Sister, you go get the Sanglu wine that Xue Kui wants," Xiao Mo said to Yu Yunwei.

"Mm mm, okay Senior Brother," Yu Yunwei nodded and ran toward the wine shop holding master's wine gourd but just as Xiao Mo finished buying the body tempering herbs he needed and found Yu Yunwei, he saw her arguing with some men.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mo stepped forward and asked.

Seeing her senior brother arrive, Yu Yunwei quickly ran over and hugged his arm, "Senior Brother, just before you came, I heard them saying that the Holy Son position would definitely belong to their eldest senior brother. Yunwei found it laughable!"

After speaking, Yu Yunwei shouted at those men, "You trash! You still want to compete for the Holy Son position in seven years! Let me tell you! The Holy Son position belongs to my senior brother! Your senior brother should worry about lasting three rounds under my senior brother's blade first!"

As Yu Yunwei's words fell, those disciples from Cloud Firmament Peak became so angry their shoulders heaved, wishing they could hack this girl to death on the spot.

Xiao Mo just glanced indifferently at his junior sister beside him.

"Trash! What, you trash just wanted to kill me, didn't you? Now that my senior brother is here, you don't dare? Trash trash! Cowardly turtles!"

Yu Yunwei continued taunting.

"Damn it! Kill these two!"

The Cloud Firmament Peak disciples drew their swords and struck at Xiao Mo.

These disciples were only at Foundation Building realm. Xiao Mo didn't even unsheath his long blade, just swinging it once, sending several disciples flying and spitting blood.

"Let's go, we're going back," Xiao Mo turned around and was about to leave the city with Yu Yunwei but before Xiao Mo had taken a few steps, a sword qi slashed toward him, and Yu Yunwei's lips secretly curved into a slight arc.

Xiao Mo turned and struck with his blade, splitting the sword qi.

A man wearing cloud-patterned robes walked over.

The man appeared to be about twenty years old, and from the aura emanating from him, he had already formed a Golden Core.

Xiao Mo looked at the identity jade token at his waist, which read "Cloud Firmament Peak Cai Tianrui."

Xiao Mo had heard his name. He was the direct disciple of Master Yunxiao, and also his most prized disciple, reaching Golden Core realm at nineteen.

"You injured my Cloud Firmament Peak disciples and think you can just leave like this?" Cai Tianrui looked coldly at Xiao Mo.

"Then what do you want!" Yu Yunwei mustered courage and shouted at Cai Tianrui, "I'm telling you, we're disciples of Karma Blood Peak!"

"Karma Blood Peak disciples? Hehe, I remember your master said that if there's a two-realm difference in combat, life and death are one's own responsibility, she won't intervene."

Cai Tianrui glanced at his junior brothers lying on the ground moaning.

"Xiao Mo, right? I don't want to bully the weak. Kowtow to me three times, sever one arm yourself, and I won't kill you."

"Senior Brother," Yu Yunwei looked at Xiao Mo "worriedly," "Cai Tianrui is a Golden Core cultivator. How about we forget it? This matter was caused by junior sister, let junior sister kowtow for senior brother..."

"No need," Xiao Mo turned around directly, as if he didn't take anyone present seriously at all, "Let's go."

Watching Xiao Mo continue walking toward the city exit, Cai Tianrui furrowed his brow, gripping his sword sheath tightly as killing intent spread.

Cold light flashed as Cai Tianrui swung his sword at Xiao Mo.

The sword qi condensed into a giant dragon, pouncing toward Xiao Mo.

Cai Tianrui held nothing back, he wanted to completely destroy Xiao Mo's body and soul with one sword!

Just when everyone thought Xiao Mo would surely die, Xiao Mo's Spirit Absorbing Sword left its sheath.

Blade intent like a mountain pressed on everyone's shoulders, the blood baleful qi so thick it was suffocating.

In the sight of all onlookers, they saw Xiao Mo strike down with one blade.

Blood baleful qi like a waterfall crashed heavily onto the sword qi dragon, then swept forward.

When everyone came back to their senses, Cai Tianrui had already been split in half.

"How is this possible?"

Yu Yunwei stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, her eyes full of disbelief.

Cai Tianrui and Xiao Mo differed by a full two realms, yet he couldn't withstand Xiao Mo's single blade?

Was he really at Cave Mansion realm?

How could there be such a Cave Mansion realm cultivator in this world?

Sheathing his blade, Xiao Mo continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

When Xiao Mo had walked thirty zhang away, Yu Yunwei finally reacted and hurried to catch up.

Leaving Ten Thousand Demon Town, on their way back to Karma Blood Peak, Xiao Mo slowly spoke, "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."

"Eh?" Yu Yunwei was stunned for a moment and asked confusedly, "What is senior brother referring to?"

Xiao Mo stopped walking and turned to look directly at her.

"Senior Brother," seeing Xiao Mo's serious expression, Yu Yunwei held her hands to her chest, "Did Yunwei do something wrong?"

"Hold out your hand."

"Senior Brother..."

"Hold out your hand," Xiao Mo shook his head, "I don't want to say it a third time."

Yu Yunwei could only slowly extend her tender palm.

Xiao Mo took out his blade sheath and struck her palm again and again.

Yu Yunwei bit her lip with her teeth from the pain.

After a full ten strikes, Yu Yunwei's palm was already swollen.

Looking at the little girl with tears in her eyes, Xiao Mo said calmly, "Yunwei, since Xue Kui won't teach you, from now on, I will discipline you."
