Fate of the Immortals and Demons

Mo Hei was overjoyed, but because Shui Rou, Ye Feng, Wu Tai and others were present, he couldn't show it too much. He clasped his fists and said, "

"Fellow Daoist Situ Nan is absolutely right. Unfortunately, I am burdened with debts, and my aspirations are low."

Wu Tai and Ye Feng looked at each other, and both saw a helpless smile in each other's eyes.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that Mo Die accepted the spirit stone without any hesitation.

But, doesn’t he know that these spirit stones are not so easy to collect?

Shui Rou was so angry that her teeth itched, and she was so disappointed with Mo Hei that she shouted angrily:

"It seems you didn't listen to my words at all. If you encounter a fortuitous encounter in the Ice God Palace ruins and improve your cultivation, you will surely rise to great heights."

"Ugh……"

Mo Hei sighed and said:

"As the saying goes, a poor man has short ambitions, and a thin horse has long hair. Just treat me as a short-sighted person."

Shui Rou couldn't help but feel angry and said:

"Aren't you short-sighted? You... you're just a hopeless case. It looks like you haven't achieved much. At best, you've only reached the Qi Building Stage. In this life, you'll only be able to struggle to survive at the bottom."

Mo Hei did not refute, nor did he get angry. He bowed slightly, shook his head and left, saying:

"You're right. For me now, building a foundation is a luxury. If someone is willing to give me enough spirit stones to help me pay off my gambling father's debts and cure my seriously ill mother, I would be willing to give it even to the Tianyi Spring in the Ice God Palace ruins."

"Where are you going?"

Seeing this guy speaking in a serious tone and walking away in a daze, Shui Rou had no choice but to suppress her anger and ask in a deep voice.

"Where else to go? Back to the merchant ship, of course."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Mo Hei naturally went back and waited for the fish to take the bait.

For these rich kids, a little bit of spirit stones is nothing.

As long as there is even a slight chance, it will not be missed.

Just like Ye Feng and Wu Tai, wasn't it for this reason that Ye Feng gave himself spirit stones, just to build a good relationship.

As a result, everyone present understood what was going on, and started to make plans in their hearts, watching Mo Hei leave step by step.

After this incident, the news spread like wildfire and the whole Xianyang city was talking about it.

"Well, since this guy is so stubborn and only cares about a little bit of profit without caring about his own future, then let him open it up and put it away. Let's see how he ends up."

Shui Rou saw it all and was furious, but she turned her anger towards the four soldiers who collected the city entrance fee.

If Shui Rou knew that Mo Hei was a heartless person with no bottom line, how would she feel?

At the same time, Ye Feng and Wu Tai were secretly feeling helpless in their hearts. It seemed that their 500 spirit stones were in danger.

But on second thought, it's not entirely true. At least he has already given him benefits. Once he really enters the ruins of the Ice God Palace, Mo Die will not dare to go back on his word.

Otherwise, it will definitely arouse public outrage and become the target of public criticism.

With Mo Hei's departure, Shui Rou, Ye Feng, Situ Nan and the others all said goodbye to each other and dispersed.

"You four are really brave. You actually dare to charge ten spirit stones as the entrance fee."

As expected, Shui Rou really took out her anger on the four soldiers who collected the city entrance fee.

Especially Ye Feng and Wu Tai, although they had some knowledge of it, most likely Mo Die was taking advantage of the situation and doing it on purpose, but just like killing a chicken to scare the monkey, they had to let Mo Die know how powerful he was.

"Fairy Shuirou, we really don't know that person...that person is from your Shui family!"

"That's right! Besides, didn't that person also take a hundred spirit stones from us? It can be considered as compensation."

"That's right! After that fellow Taoist collected the spirit stones, he went straight into the city without saying anything."

"We know we are wrong. Please be magnanimous and let us go."

"..."

Faced with Shui Rou's angry questioning, the four soldiers felt that a disaster was about to happen, so they just nodded in agreement and complained in their hearts.

At the same time, it also attracted pedestrians passing by the city gate, who were all afraid to avoid it, hiding far away and watching.

Ye Feng, Wu Tai and others glared at them from the side. If these four people had not been so bold and asked for a high entrance fee of ten spirit stones, Mo Die would not have been able to show off the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast and flaunt his power.

Thinking of this, including Shui Rou, even Ye Fan and Wu Mei felt deeply furious and could not control their anger.

Ye Feng spoke in a bad tone, and said to the burly man who was specially called over, wearing a helmet and armor and looking majestic, with a forced smile:

"Commander Nangong, we must take serious care of these four people. It should be fine!"

The burly man known as Commander Nangong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Wu Tai of the Ming family and Shui Rou of the Shui family.

With these three major families united against the same enemy, he was afraid that he would be implicated and suffer the consequences. How could he dare to say a word of objection? He immediately said angrily:

"Come here, put these four people in jail."

"Yes."

The four soldiers immediately turned pale, knowing that they had no way to escape. They were arrested and taken away by several soldiers like dead dogs.

At the same time, Shui Rou, Wu Tai, Ye Feng and others left together.

"I wonder how many big fish I'll catch after this ostentatious parade?"

However, at this moment, Mo Hei really returned to the Jubao Trading Company's merchant ship and whispered to himself in his cabin.

At the same time, including Situ Nan, all the young disciples of major families who wanted to enter the Ice God Palace ruins and dreamed of using the ninth-grade foundation building of Tianyi Spring were there.

Everyone was secretly planning how to extend an olive branch and bribe Mo Die, who came from a poor family and owned a Fire Sheep Dragon Beast?

They have also found out that Mo Die is on the merchant ship of Jubao Trading Company. It would be unwise to board the ship and rob her rashly.

"Bang bang bang!"

As the day passed and the sun set in the west, Mo Hei, who was sitting cross-legged in the cabin practicing with a spirit stone in his hand, did not hear a knock on the door.

"Are you here to find me and call me to task?"

Mo Hei slowly opened his eyes, put the spirit stone in his hand into the storage ring, and without saying a word, he waved his hand to open the hatch.

"Look at it!"

Without waiting for Mo Hei to speak, Ye Feng threw out a jade slip without saying anything, with an indifferent tone.

Mo Hei subconsciously took the jade slip in his hand. He first glanced at Ye Feng, Wu Tai, Shui Rou, Ye Fan, and Wu Mei with a suspicious look, and then put it between his eyebrows.

"what……"

As soon as Mo Hei arrived, he probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, but instead of being there in person, he found himself in a prison.

He saw with his own eyes that the four soldiers who demanded ten spirit stones from him as an entrance fee to the city were being tortured inhumanely.

It was truly shocking to Mo Hei, and he experienced firsthand what it meant to be unable to live or die...

But seeing this ugly man, Ye Feng and others were horrified, and then they showed a satisfied and cruel smile.

All I heard was Wu Tai's sinister smile:

"Although these four people abused their power for personal gain and forcibly collected ten spirit stones from you as an entrance fee, that's not a big deal. But they indirectly caused you to expose the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast. Then, they are guilty of a crime that cannot be forgiven."

After hearing this, how could Mo Hei not understand that the intention of these people was nothing more than to make an example of him to scare others.

Shui Rou's pretty face turned cold, and she said coldly:

"You know, one of them was already a Foundation Establishment warrior, even though he was from the Saibei Blood Sword Hall, he was tortured to death like a dead dog in front of my three major families. And even if you really are from the Shushan Sword Sect of the Tianling Realm, I don't think anyone can save you."

The guard captain Ye Feng smiled hypocritically and said:

"So I think Fellow Daoist Mo Die must be a smart person. Since he is a smart person, he naturally knows how to protect himself so as not to bring disaster upon himself and lose his life."

Although Mo Hei was deeply shocked, he was not afraid in his heart. He knew very well that in this world of cultivation where strength is respected, the weak can only submit to the tyranny of the strong.

For example, now, aren’t these guys trying to use this to scare me?

In fact, the four soldiers were tortured to death.

However, it also taught Mo Hei a profound lesson. In this cruel world of cultivation, it is indeed the law of the jungle and the strong are respected.

For their own interests, they can do anything.

Although these people in front of me look young and naive, their thunderous methods are still chilling.

In comparison, Yunxiao, Mingfang, A'man, Baoyu and others are relatively gentle.

Mo Hei held the jade slip in his hand and secretly vowed in his heart that he would work hard to become stronger. He took a deep breath, threw the jade slip back, and said indifferently:

"Been taught a lesson."

Shui Rou also knew the simple principle of giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet reward, so she softened her tone and said:

"But don't worry, as long as you stop being fickle and treacherous, we will naturally not treat you unfairly. We will give you all the spirit stones you deserve."

Deputy Guard Captain Wu Tai nodded and warned:

"By the way, if the Situ family, the Nangong family, and others come looking for you, I think you should know how to refuse! I'll kindly remind you that trying to play both sides is the easiest way to end up in trouble. Don't let that happen, as you have money but no life to spend it."

Although Mo Hei was dismissive of this naked threat, he still put on a show, nodded, and said nothing.

Guard Captain Ye Feng then revealed a faint smile, turned around and left:

"From now on, you can concentrate on your training in this cabin. You are not required to perform any escort duties."

Of course, the purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to imprison Mo Hei in disguise and cut off his contact with the outside world before the Ice God Palace ruins are opened.

Mo Hei was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he readily agreed.
