Chapter 12 Bullying
Although Mo Shan knew that most of Shen Guangjian's words were lies, such as "keeping the sword for someone else" was practically shameless written all over his face, and given Shen Xian's personality, it was no wonder that he deserved to have his throat slit.
Even though Mo Shan knew he was aiding and abetting evil, he still had to help Shen Guangjian teach Shen Xu a lesson. The Mo family hadn't had an easy time in Yunlong City in recent years. If it weren't for the Shen family's continued support, the Mo family would probably have been kicked out of the four major families of Yunlong City long ago. However, seeing Shen Guangjian get his comeuppance made him feel quite good.
"Shen Xu! I'd like to see who you really are!" Mo Shan smiled.
He still has to continue acting out this scene.
"Does anyone know where Shen Xu is?" Mo Shan asked as he walked into the crowd.
"I think I saw him in the outer sect's steward's hall just now," someone replied.
"Who is he, and why is he looking for Shen Xu?" someone suddenly asked after Mo Shan left.
"You don't even know Mo Shan? He's one of Shen Guangjian's friends. He's probably looking for Shen Xu to cause trouble for him!"
"Mo Shan must be at least at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation! How can he bully the weak?"
“You saw Shen Xu’s strength that day. I felt that even an ordinary Qi Cultivation Level 6 cultivator wouldn’t be a match for him. How could Shen Guangjian suppress Shen Xu’s arrogance without sending out someone more powerful?”
"I know a little about this Mo Shan. He was already at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation a long time ago, and I estimate he's already at the seventh level now."
"Huh? No way! Shen Guangjian sent a seventh-level cultivator to fight a fifth-level cultivator? That's a bit too shameless!"
"Shen Xu is in deep trouble now! He'll probably be beaten so badly he won't be able to get out of bed. I was really looking forward to his duel with Shen Guangjian in the outer sect competition!"
"Everyone, watch your words! But there's going to be a good show. Aren't you all going to the Deacon's Hall to see what's going on?"
"You little rascal! Sharing is worse than enjoying alone. I'll go and notify a few more people; it's more fun with more people!"
Mo Shan arrived outside the outer sect's affairs hall, grabbed a Qi Cultivation Stage 4 disciple, and asked menacingly, "Is Shen Xu inside?"
"Senior brother, I don't know who Shen Xu is..." The outer disciple who had been grabbed by the collar was almost crying from fright.
"Useless trash, get out!" Mo Shan threw the disciple on the ground like a chick, and the disciple scrambled away.
"Do you think Shen Xu is inside?" Mo Shan grabbed another person and asked.
"Senior Brother Mo, Shen Xu is indeed inside!" the man hurriedly replied.
"Call him out here and tell him that I, Mo Shan, have come to spar with him today. If he refuses, you will spar with me on his behalf!" Mo Shan glared fiercely at the disciple.
"Ah! Senior Brother Mo, please don't! I haven't offended you in any way!" The disciple looked at Mo Shan in shock.
"If you don't go soon, you'll offend me. I'm telling you, are you going or not?" Mo Shan approached the disciple with a cold expression.
"I'll go, I'll go!" The disciple caught by Mo Shan hurriedly ran towards the Hall of Affairs.
Meanwhile, Shen Xu, who was inside the Deacon Hall, naturally heard the commotion outside, but he figured it had little to do with him and didn't pay it any mind.
Suddenly, he saw a disheveled young man running toward him in a panic.
"Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Mo Shan wants to spar with you. If you don't agree, he'll spar with me. I'm no match for Senior Brother Mo Shan, so Senior Brother Shen, you have to save me!" the young man cried out as he ran.
"Mo Shan! He finally came? And he even used such despicable means to force him to spar with him."
However, he has now mastered the Fourfold Wave technique, and with his experience from his previous life, defeating Mo Shan shouldn't be too difficult.
But he was someone who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of fire in his previous life. If he were so easily forced to agree to a duel with Mo Shan, others would probably think he was soft-hearted and easily bullied!
So Shen Xu slowly said to the anxious young man, "I don't care whether you live or die. If Mo Shan wants to spar with me, let him show his sincerity."
"Senior Brother Shen, please agree! Otherwise, I don't know what Senior Brother Mo will do to me when I get back! Senior Brother Shen, you're so powerful, you can definitely defeat Senior Brother Mo." The young man knelt down and sobbed softly.
"Sigh! What an unlucky person. Shen Xu brought this trouble upon himself, yet he still wants to harm others."
"Life is unpredictable, and the strong prey on the weak. He can only blame himself for being too weak!"
"Mo Shan is so powerful, even I wouldn't agree to his sparring request for the sake of someone else's life."
Shen Xu seemed oblivious to the surrounding chatter and continued calmly flipping through a miscellaneous book in his hands.
Seeing Shen Xu's nonchalant attitude, the young man's expression immediately changed, and he said viciously, "Shen Xu, I'm giving you face by calling you senior brother. Do you really think you can be a match for senior brother Mo Shan? I'll wait and see you kneeling at senior brother Mo Shan's feet begging for mercy."
"Is this sincerity?" Mo Shan murmured.
"Senior Brother Mo, Shen Xu's attitude is extremely arrogant and he doesn't respect you at all. If you ask me, don't be polite to him. Find his friends and beat them one by one, and he won't be able to stay silent." The young man said with a sinister expression.
"Really? Since he wants to show sincerity, I'll show him sincerity. Go tell him I have a hundred Qi-Nourishing Pills here, consider it as his medical expenses. I wonder if that's enough?"
"One hundred Qi Nourishing Pills? Heh, is that all he can offer? I still have one hundred Qi Nourishing Pills as a sect reward for breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Nourishing, plus the sword that Shen Guangjian has always wanted. If I bet five hundred Qi Nourishing Pills with him, he won't be at a disadvantage. I just don't know if he dares to bet!"
“Five hundred coins! Since he wants to give me that sword, I naturally won’t refuse. I’ll tell him that my reward for breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation is exactly five hundred coins. I can afford to gamble with him,” Mo Shan said with a sneer.
The moment the number five hundred was announced, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.
"Holy crap! Five hundred!! That's outrageous!"
"To be honest, I've seen more Qi-Nourishing Pills than this many times since I was born."
"This bet is way too big! Does Shen Xu really think he's going to win? Or has he lost his mind? Mo Shan just said he's at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation!"
"If Shen Xu really wins this time, I can't even imagine how happy he will be."
"However, if he loses, he will truly have nothing left. The hundred Qi-Nourishing Pills awarded by the sect are very important for his future cultivation."
Upon hearing that Mo Shan had agreed to his bet, Shen Xu's lips slowly curled up. He was just worried about the slow progress of his cultivation, and someone came to deliver Qi-Nourishing Pills. Shen Guangjian was really thoughtful! Now, it would be hard to find many people in the entire outer sect who had more Qi-Nourishing Pills than Mo Shan.
After returning the book to a staff member of the Hall of Affairs, Shen Xu picked up his sword and slowly walked towards the direction of Mo Shan under the watchful eyes of everyone.
