Chapter 122: Who is Stronger and Who is Weaker?
Lin Fan got rich in an instant. The forty million on him gave him great confidence. However, there were a lot of greedy eyes on him; everyone wanted to rob him. And it was normal to have such thoughts. After all, everyone would be filled with greed if they saw anyone with this kind of wealth.
But whether they could rob Lin Fan or whether they’d end up dead instead remained to be seen. And if they ended up dead, it would be somewhat ironic.
Everyone’s eyes widened with envy at the sight of Mo Lingyu handing such a fortune to Lin Fan. In particular, Song Zhenshan and his team; they couldn’t help but gulp a mouthful of saliva. Such a fortune gave them a scare as well.
However, when they recalled the scene of the Gorefiend Dragon being manhandled by Lin Fan, they realized that they would never be able to do that kind of thing. Be that as it may, they were invited by Mo Lingyu. They might not have done anything on their part, but they were hired; they couldn’t have come here for nothing.
But just as Song Zhenshan was about to voice his thoughts, Mo Lingyu interrupted him with a gentle smile, “Since I invited you, I will naturally comply with our agreement. However, the Gorefiend Dragon was killed by Gentleman Lin, so Mo Lingyu can only give you four a little reward as thanks.”
Under Mo Lingyu’s instructions, Uncle Cheng took out four bills and gave one to each of them. Each bill was worth 500,000, a fortune even at the c.u.mulus Bazaar.
Song Zhenshan and his team immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although it was far from what they were promised at the completion of the mission, at least they did get paid even after having done nothing. As such, they were extremely satisfied.
“Thank you, Miss Mo. If you need us for anything in the future, we will certainly give Miss Mo the top priority.” Song Zhenshan was extremely polite to Mo Lingyu. After all, everyone liked a generous sponsor. More importantly, Miss Mo was a member of the Mo Family of Spirit Wind City, which was an extremely wealthy clan. Someday, if they went to Spirit Wind City, she might treat them as guests.
But right at this moment, a thunder-like shout from the distance shook everyone’s ears. Some people with weak cultivation had their blood energy left in turmoil.
“If I don’t do anything even after all this, if I let you take money for free, then our Mo Family would really be running a charity.” In the distance, a figure riding some horse-type monster could be seen rus.h.i.+ng over. The monster was two meters tall, and flames could be seen gus.h.i.+ng out of its mouth and nostrils. Its hooves left a series of charred hoof prints and a cloud of dust and smoke in their wake.
“Divine Magma Horse, wow, someone is actually using an Earth Star Border Stage Three monster as a mount. How dope!”
Some people were angry at first. They wanted to see who was so arrogant that he was trying to oppress everyone. But when they saw that Divine Magma Horse, they immediately shut their mouths. Anyone who could treat an Earth Star Border Stage Three monster as a mount was definitely strong.
Everyone knew that it was difficult to tame any monster in the Earth Star Border Realm or above. All attempts at training one as a mount were nothing more than a pipe dream, much less violent monsters like Divine Magma Horses.
They would rather die than become someone’s mount unless it was of their own free will. Only then would they be subdued.
Lin Fan took a glance at the figure. The man in front of him was extremely handsome and had a resolute expression plastered on his face. On the Divine Magma Horse, he looked even more majestic. He gave off an aura of invincibility, like he alone could defeat an army of thousands and tens of thousands.
He certainly knows how to make an appearance. But that might not be good for him.
When Uncle Cheng saw this man, a look of shock and excitement took over his face. He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, “This old servant greets Young Master.”
Then, he voiced his doubt, “Young Master, you have been away for three years, how come you have come to the c.u.mulus Bazaar?”
“It was not three years. I finished practicing my skill to grand completion in two years, but when I returned home, I came to know that my sister had gone to Scaled Dragon Lake to kill the Gorefiend Dragon for our father. How could I not come after knowing this?”
Mo Jingzhe glanced about at everyone, the pressure emanating from him forcing everyone to lower their heads; they didn’t dare to look straight at him.
There was only one thought in everyone’s mind – the person in front of them was absolutely strong, even stronger than Song Zhenshan and the others. A fearsome strength was hidden under his clothes, so fearsome that he could not restrain it. Just his breath was making his clothes flutter.
“There was a branch of the Divine Religion in Spirit Wind City, huh? If only I had returned earlier, father would not have been seriously injured. Killing those rascals would have been as easy as crus.h.i.+ng ants.” Mo Jingzhe sounded extremely confident. When he mentioned the Divine Religion, a strong disdain could be found in his voice.
Mo Lingyu stepped forward and bowed a bit, “Lingyu greets Brother.”
“Mm.” Mo Jingzhe nodded and raised his hand. He might have looked serious and all, but his expression softened a bit after seeing Mo Lingyu. “Lingyu, you have done a good job over these years. You have taken care of the family really well. You have taken a lot of burden from father’s shoulders. But our Mo Family is not running a charity. The four of them didn’t do anything. It’s simply a waste to pay them anything.”
Song Zhenshan and the others were angered by Mo Jingzhe’s words. He had really gone too far. They felt humiliated, but since the other party posed a threat to them, they could only hide their fury in their hearts.
“Brother, they already contributed by coming to our Mo Family’s call for help. They earned this reward. Brother, please don’t make it difficult for Lingyu,” Mo Lingyu said in neither a humble nor a pushy manner. Then, she turned to Song Zhenshan and his team, “I’m sorry, my brother is just like this. I hope you don’t take his words to heart, Lingyu is really grateful of everyone’s help.”
Seeing Miss Mo’s conduct, Song Zhenshan and his team appeared to have calmed down. Her speech and conduct were filled with magnanimity.
“Miss Mo doesn’t need to care about it, we understand.”
Mo Jingzhe jumped off the Divine Magma Horse and said, “Since it has been given, I won’t say anything else.” But then, he focused his gaze on Lin Fang. “The Gorefiend Dragon is at the fifth stage of the Earth Star Border Realm, but you took thirty million for it. Isn’t that too much? Aren’t you cheating my Mo Family?”
Uncle Cheng was left dumbstruck. He didn’t expect his young master to have grown more and more straightforward after having exited his cultivation. However, he knew that the exercise his young master was cultivating, the Divine Art of Startling the Dragon, was a firm and fierce type of technique. It would certainly bring some changes to his temperament. Be that as it may, he never expected his young master, who had always been a man of few words, to actually turn so aggressive.
“Young Master, he is a disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, moreover…” But before Uncle Cheng could say anything anymore, he was interrupted by Mo Jingzhe.
“Magnificent Flame Sect, huh!? As a disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, you should be fair and impartial. My Mo Family has been guarding Spirit Wind City and supporting the Magnificent Flame Sect all the while. As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, you should not have taken any compensation.” Mo Jingzhe screamed. There was nothing wrong with what he had said, but looking at how domineering he appeared, his words sounded irrevocable.
Mo Lingyu frowned slightly. Apparently, she didn’t like her brother’s temper. She immediately interjected, “Brother, I am in charge of this matter. Please don’t intervene.
“Gentleman Lin killed the Gorefiend Dragon for our father. He should be rewarded for his hard work.”
Mo Jingzhe disagreed. He waved his hand straightaway. “Sister, you shouldn’t be like this. Although our Mo Family is wealthy, you can’t be this extravagant. The Gorefiend Dragon was strong, but if you had waited for me, it would have been killed with a flip of my hand. We didn’t need anyone’s help.”
Lin Fan kept staring at Mo Jingzhe. How can this guy be so detestable? He looks so overconfident, as if he cultivated his divine exercise in a single day.
Lin Fan then looked at Mo Lingyu and asked, pointing at Mo Jingzhe, “Miss Mo, is your brother sick?”
Everyone present was dumbfounded by this.
But after another instant, everyone realized that there was nothing wrong with it.
In their opinion, Mo Jingzhe was indeed sick. If you are so fearsome, you should have come earlier. Why talk nonsense after everything is over?
Had Mo Jingzhe not been stronger than them, they would have started beating him up already.
Mo Lingyu was shocked. She immediately said with a smile, “Gentleman Lin, please don’t take my brother’s words to heart. My brother is a straightforward guy, he doesn’t have any malicious intent.”
Lin Fan nodded. “I know. That’s why he is not lying on the ground already.”
“How arrogant! I, Mo Jingzhe, started practicing martial arts at the age of three. I trained my body for the next two years and entered the first stage of the Body Tempering Realm at the age of five. Then, without anyone’s a.s.sistance, I ventured deep into the dangerous south and cultivated in the Vulcan Mountains for two years, finished training my skills and entered the sixth stage of the Earth Star Border Realm. And you have the gall to say that you would make me lie on the ground!? What gives you that confidence?” Mo Jingzhe stepped forward as a majestic aura burst out from his body.
Lin Fan glanced at Mo Jingzhe before a disdainful smile appeared on his lips. He too took a step forward, releasing his vast energy. “Hmph, do you feel no shame by listing your meagre achievements?
“I, Lin Fan, enjoyed my life for twenty years, I never trained. One month ago, I was in the second stage of the Body Tempering Realm, and after one month, I am in the third stage of the Earth Star Border Realm and have been blessed with six skills. I can easily kill any enemy over my level. And you have the nerve to say what you did? You are just making a fool of yourself.”
The fearsome pressure weighing down on everyone left them in a state of shock; they couldn’t believe their ears.
Mo Jingzhe was even more shocked by Lin Fan’s fearsome and invincible aura. He could not help but retreat a couple steps from the shock. He calmed himself down after some difficulty, but he kept gawking Lin Fan in horror.
How is this possible!?
There is actually someone better than me!?
