Soon, Song Zhenwei arrived.
Seeing the old cultivator lying in a pool of blood, he rushed to check his injuries, his face turning ashen.
Song Zhenwei took out a pill and fed it to the old cultivator. His life should be out of danger, but his dantian was shattered, his cultivation completely lost, rendering him a cripple.
"Your Excellency, aren't you a bit too ruthless?"
Song Zhenwei glared at Meng Qi, his spiritual power surging, the might of a peak Spirit Emperor radiating from his body.
Daring to injure someone from Langya Academy, he could not be tolerated. Even if it were a peak Demon Emperor, he would make the other party pay the price.
Meng Qi sneered, "He's just an old dog guarding the gate. It's already a great favor to your Langya Academy that I didn't kill him on the spot."
"A great favor, you say? Then I shall return the favor tenfold by beating you back to your original form, turning you back into a beast."
Song Zhenwei's eyes blazed with fury, intending to retaliate by crippling the other's cultivation and forcing him to transform back into a demon beast.
The old cultivator had guarded the academy's gates diligently for many years, only to be insulted as an old dog. This was utterly intolerable.
He advanced towards Meng Qi step by step.
"You dare touch me?"
Meng Qi's face was filled with mockery as he said word by word, "I am from the Eastern Domain, the Seven Fiends Alliance. My master is the leader of the Seven Fiends Alliance, Sun Zhi!"
Song Zhenwei's steps halted abruptly. Though unwilling, his face was filled with apprehension, and he dared not make a move.
The Seven Fiends Alliance was like a mountain, making Song Zhenwei unable to breathe.
It was a top power in the Eastern Domain, boasting as many as seven super-experts in the Mortal Immortal realm, not to mention their leader, Sun Zhi, whose power was immense and shook the region.
If they offended the Seven Fiends Alliance, Langya Academy would truly be finished.
No wonder Meng Qi dared to be so arrogant and fearless; his master was Sun Zhi.
"If you dare touch a single hair on my head, Langya Academy will be destroyed."
Meng Qi stepped forward, arrogantly patting Song Zhenwei's shoulder. "Song Zhenwei, right? Be sensible, or you'll regret it. You're not someone you can afford to provoke."
Song Zhenwei gritted his teeth, feeling immensely wronged. He dared not express his anger or speak, truly unable to afford offending Meng Qi, lest Langya Academy face utter annihilation.
"Old Song isn't good enough; he's not tough enough. It seems I still need to find that troublemaker Ji Mo."
Long Da Zui saw this scene and turned away again, quickly running to find Ji Mo.
He believed that only Ji Mo could handle the situation at this moment.
Many students from Langya Academy came upon hearing the news. Seeing the old gatekeeper, Uncle Wang, severely injured and the dean suppressed by the opponent, they all felt indignant, a fire burning in their hearts.
But they were powerless, for the opponent was from the Seven Fiends Alliance, whom they simply could not afford to provoke.
"May I ask why you have come? Has Langya Academy offended you?"
Song Zhenwei, suppressing his anger, asked.
Meng Qi inquired, "I heard that your Langya Academy has a female child with the Zhen Tian Ba Ti physique. Is this true?"
Song Zhenwei nodded. After all, many people in the academy knew that Lin Mengmeng possessed the "Zhen Tian Ba Ti," and it was not a secret.
"Very good. Hand her over quickly. My master has been searching for cultivators with this physique. You Langya Academy is incredibly lucky. As long as you hand the person over to me, our Seven Fiends Alliance will owe you a favor. In the future, when you encounter trouble, just announce the name of our Seven Fiends Alliance, and no one in the entire Southern Domain will dare to provoke you."
Meng Qi's face was filled with arrogance, as if it were an unparalleled honor for outsiders to associate with the Seven Fiends Alliance.
Furthermore, he believed this offer was extremely attractive and that Song Zhenwei would surely be grateful and comply obediently.
"You want Lin Mengmeng? No."
Song Zhenwei flatly refused. If it were other conditions, they could be discussed, but Lin Mengmeng was Mr. Ji's student, and they could not hand her over.
"You dare refuse? Aren't you afraid Langya Academy will be annihilated?"
Meng Qi threatened directly.
Song Zhenwei was speechless. As the rumors said, the Seven Fiends Alliance was arrogant, overbearing, unreasonable, and often resorted to any means to achieve their goals.
Those who dared to resist the Seven Fiends Alliance, whether individuals or factions, often met a grim end.
"How dare you come to my Langya Academy to cause trouble? You are the one who will be annihilated."
A cold voice echoed, and Ji Mo appeared.
Long Da Zui beside him was immensely excited. This was the spirit; a true man had to be this resolute.
Meng Qi narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Ji Mo, utterly surprised that someone would speak to him in such a manner.
It seemed another ignorant fool who was tired of living.
A cruel killing intent flashed across his face.
In his eyes, Ji Mo was already a corpse, destined to be killed, and no one could stop him.
"Mr. Ji, this fellow is from the Eastern Domain's Seven Fiends Alliance, and his master is Sun Zhi."
Song Zhenwei walked to Ji Mo's side and quietly revealed Meng Qi's identity and origin.
"Sun Zhi?"
Ji Mo frowned.
Song Zhenwei's brow furrowed in sync.
He judged Ji Mo's strength to be in the Mortal Immortal realm, though the specific level was unclear. Seeing Ji Mo frown and appear thoughtful, he mistakenly believed Ji Mo also harbored reservations about Sun Zhi and the Seven Fiends Alliance.
Could it be that Mr. Ji also feared Sun Zhi?
However, Ji Mo was not apprehensive but rather recalling.
Sun Zhi!
The name sounded familiar to Ji Mo; he seemed to have heard it from Old Master Lu Wukai before.
Lu Wukai had once said that this Sun Zhi was treacherous, stabbed him in the back, seized his assets, and caused his death, calling him a despicable and shameless scoundrel.
He just didn't know if it was the same person.
"Sun Zhi? Is he that hypocrite who pretends to be righteous but stabs his brothers in the back, seizing his good brother's fortune, that bastard?"
Ji Mo asked curiously.
Upon hearing this.
Meng Qi was stunned.
This was indeed something Sun Zhi had done, plotting against his good brother Lu Wukai and snatching everything from him.
However, no one had ever dared to speak of this matter so openly in public.
To think that in this desolate place of the Southern Domain, someone would speak so boldly, even daring to call Sun Zhi a bastard. Just how audacious were they?
Were they not afraid of death?
"You impudent brat, how dare you slander my master? Your crime is unforgivable."
Meng Qi roared, his entire body exuding murderous intent.
"Slander? Do you dare say he didn't do these things?" Ji Mo retorted.
This left Meng Qi speechless.
Song Zhenwei beside them was trembling with fear. Exposing Sun Zhi's past misdeeds like this, Mr. Ji was clearly intending to offend Sun Zhi to the death.
If this continued, it would inevitably lead to an irreconcilable conflict.
Did Mr. Ji possess the strength to contend with the entire Seven Fiends Alliance?
"Your so-called master is trash, despicable, shameless, insidious, treacherous, betraying his brothers, seizing their property, and now he's eyeing my disciple. Truly unforgivable, deserving of death by all."
Ji Mo snorted coldly, exposing Sun Zhi's wicked nature in its entirety.
"Bastard, you're seeking death!"
Meng Qi, enraged beyond measure, lunged directly at Ji Mo.
