"Stop." At a street near the edge of the Five Elements Domain City's square, Mo Wuji blocked the other party.

Seeing the person stop and stare at him, Mo Wuji smiled coldly, "Jing Feilan, you can remove the veil from your face. Today, I'm here to settle all accounts with you."

"It's you?" Jing Feilan clearly recognized Mo Wuji as well. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her calm, indifferent demeanor. Although anyone could come to the Five Elements Wilderness Domain now, Mo Wuji, a mortal, managing to get here was indeed quite capable.

"Yan'er is already dead. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Now, move aside." Jing Feilan simply said, raising her hand and sending out a gust of wind.

Mo Wuji didn't move at all. He opened his hand, and the gust of wind was directly caught in his palm and dissipated without a trace.

"Eh?" Jing Feilan exclaimed in surprise, immediately realizing that Mo Wuji had not only cultivated, but was also an extremely powerful cultivator.

She rolled out another wave of elemental energy, this time without holding back.

A terrifying spatial elemental force came crashing down. Mo Wuji was startled, realizing that based on the power of this casual wave of elemental energy, Jing Feilan was at least at the True Lake Late Stage.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji didn't move at all. Jing Feilan's elemental force was directly swatted away, and the powerful force swept back, sending Jing Feilan flying and crashing into a stone wall on the side.

"Puh!" Jing Feilan spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, falling to the ground.

Jing Feilan got up slowly with shock, staring at Xing Huang standing beside Mo Wuji. After a while, she said in a trembling voice, "You are the Three-Eyed Senior from the Weapon Peak of the Asking Heaven Learning Palace. Why would you attack a small rogue cultivator like me?"

Jing Feilan couldn't see through the Three-Eyed Monk's cultivation, but she was sure that the Three-Eyed Monk was at least at the Virtual God Completion Stage.

"This one is no longer the Three-Eyed Monk of the Weapon Peak of the Asking Heaven Learning Palace, but the Left Protector of the Heavenly Machine Sect. No matter who you are, you must be polite to my Heavenly Machine Sect's Sect Leader." Xing Huang snorted and said coldly.

Jing Feilan was shocked, and she turned her gaze back to Mo Wuji, "You, how could you..."

She didn't even dare to ask. Mo Wuji was an ordinary mortal without spiritual roots. How could he become the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect? That's not right. Mo Wuji easily caught her first attack just now. How could a mortal do that?

Mo Wuji's murderous intent flashed, and he said in an icy tone, "Now is not the time for you to ask me. Consider yourself lucky that I'm only going to kill you today, not torture you. As for Extreme Sword City, I will find them to settle accounts."

Mo Wuji opened his hand, and a lightning ball was about to strike down.

"Wait..." Jing Feilan suddenly reached out and tore off the veil from her face. Mo Wuji looked at Jing Feilan in shock. This was not a human face.

One of Jing Feilan's eyes had been gouged out, and half of her nose had been shaved off. Several terrifying scars crossed her face, making people feel terrified at first glance.

"That's right, Yan'er was taken away by me. I didn't mistreat her. I even planned to make her my closed-door disciple, my successor. But I was blind and didn't know about the beastly behavior of Extreme Sword City. Extreme Sword City was actually searching for all kinds of top-grade spiritual roots within the five great empires and then sending them to Extreme Sword City to transplant spiritual roots for the direct descendants of the Dong family. I don't know how many geniuses died in this process of transplanting spiritual roots."

After saying so much in one breath, Jing Feilan's tone calmed down a little. She took a deep breath and said again, "After Yan'er was brought to Extreme Sword City, she was discovered by the Dong family's beast. They asked me for Yan'er, but I naturally wouldn't allow it. Unexpectedly, they forcibly took Yan'er away. When I went to reason with them, I discovered their beastly behavior. I was locked up by the Dong family and tortured in every possible way..."

Mo Wuji frowned immediately, "Jing Feilan, since you didn't know about the Dong family of Extreme Sword City's actions, and you stumbled upon the Dong family's affairs, why didn't the Dong family kill you? Are you lying to yourself?"

Jing Feilan clenched her fists, her voice hoarse, "Because I knew a huge secret. The Dong family wanted me to reveal this secret, which is why I wasn't killed immediately. During the extraterritorial war, I found an opportunity to escape. Only now do I understand why Extreme Sword City wanted me to become one of the three deputy city lords."

After saying that, Jing Feilan looked at Mo Wuji calmly with one eye, "I won't blame you if you kill me, because I did look down on mortals. Back then, you were a mortal, and I also thought you would affect Yan'er's cultivation. Maybe I was wrong. You actually became a Sect Leader. But if you kill me because Yan'er was killed, I will be unwilling. I'm not afraid of death, I want revenge. After I kill the beasts of Extreme Sword City and get revenge, you can kill Jing Feilan for any reason, and I will have no complaints. Also, Yan'er's spiritual root was what the young city lord of Extreme Sword City, Dong Lun, wanted to dig out..."

"Dong Lun was killed by me." Mo Wuji said expressionlessly. His murderous intent towards Jing Feilan had faded.

Perhaps mainly because Yan'er was fine, and Jing Feilan was not collecting top-grade spiritual root cultivators for Extreme Sword City, but was also a victim.

A look of surprise flashed in Jing Feilan's eyes, and then she suddenly said, "So Dong Lun was killed by you."

After Dong Lun was killed, Extreme Sword City went crazy, searching for the murderer everywhere. Jing Feilan was hiding in the dark, so she naturally knew it long ago.

"You can go. One of your eyes has been gouged out. I hope your other eye won't be blind when you look at people. If you had talked to me properly back then, I might not have let Yan'er be your disciple. That's not how you treat people. Don't always think you're superior. When you think that way, in the eyes of others, you're just an ant." Mo Wuji waved his hand, really not in the mood to kill such a woman.

"Sect Leader Mo, you want to kill the Dong family of Extreme Sword City to avenge Yan'er, and I also want to avenge Yan'er, and also avenge myself and the rest of my disciples. So, please allow me to join the Heavenly Machine Sect. As long as I kill the Dong family, you can kill or torture me as you please." To Mo Wuji's surprise, Jing Feilan didn't leave immediately, but instead asked to join the Heavenly Machine Sect.

After these years, Jing Feilan knew very well in her heart that relying on her own strength to seek revenge was too slim. Wanting to borrow the power of a sect or another family to avenge her was also a pipe dream. No sect would risk fighting Extreme Sword City for a random person like her.

Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Your other disciples?"

Jing Feilan said sharply, "That's right. After I discovered the despicable and beastly behavior of the Dong family of Extreme Sword City, they not only locked me up, but also used the spiritual roots of my other disciples to experiment with spiritual root transplantation. My disciples only had top-grade spiritual roots, but these beasts..."

Jing Feilan's palms were already bleeding as she spoke.

The Dong family of Extreme Sword City was indeed inhuman. Mo Wuji's murderous intent deepened, "In that case, you can come with me to the Hundred Sects Alliance Conference. Of course, the premise is that you dare to go."

Jing Feilan smiled miserably, "What else do I not dare to do now?"

...

On the round platform in the middle of the Five Elements Domain City's square, Zhuang Yan kept Mo Wuji's words in mind, making sure to find an eye-catching place to sit. This meeting was related to the future development of the Heavenly Machine Sect, so she couldn't sit in a corner.

The seats on the round platform were arranged in a circle, with the Asking Heaven Learning Palace, the Great衍 Sect, and five or six other top sects in the center. The person in charge of the Hundred Sects Alliance also sat in the middle.

Even if Zhuang Yan was naive, she knew that she couldn't sit in these positions. Although the Heavenly Machine Sect had a Left Protector, it was ultimately a Profound Grade sect.

Apart from these positions, the best position was the first row near the middle. The first row was almost full at this moment. Zhuang Yan hurried to the few remaining sect squares and occupied one. Each of these squares had four seats, two in the front and two in the back, representing the location of a sect. Just as Zhuang Yan sat down, the remaining squares in the first row were occupied by other sects.

"Move aside, sit in the back, you really don't know the rules. Have you seen any sects below Quasi-Heaven Grade sitting in this row?" A cold voice sounded beside Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan looked up and saw a tall man with sinister eyes.

"Does this Hundred Sects Alliance Conference stipulate that the first row must be occupied by Quasi-Heaven Grade sects?" Although Zhuang Yan felt a little apprehensive, she didn't stand up to move aside.

Being with Mo Wuji for a long time had made her personality a lot more resolute. If it were before joining the Heavenly Machine Sect, she would have stood up long ago and moved to the side. Or rather, she wouldn't have sat in this first row at all.

"What, do you want me to do it by force?" The man with sinister eyes became even more murderous. He had just asked, and only Zhuang Yan from the Profound Grade sect Heavenly Machine Sect was in this first row.

"What's going on?" A responsible cultivator quickly walked over.

The man with sinister eyes immediately cupped his fists and said, "I am Dong Mingzi, a disciple of the Asking Heaven Learning Palace, and I am attending this Hundred Sects Alliance Conference on behalf of Extreme Sword City. This person is just a representative of a Profound Grade sect, yet she is sitting in this place."

Dong Mingzi was delayed because he initially saw Jing Feilan's back, but then couldn't find Jing Feilan after chasing after her.

When the responsible cultivator heard that Dong Mingzi was from Extreme Sword City and a disciple of the Asking Heaven Learning Palace, he said to Zhuang Yan with some embarrassment, "Hall Master Zhuang, I am the deacon of this Hundred Sects Alliance Conference. Could you please be a little more accommodating and sit further back?"

Zhuang Yan looked back. The positions in the back were basically full. If she moved back, she would probably have to sit at the very end, which was too different from what Sect Leader Senior Brother had instructed. Sect Leader Senior Brother had finally given her a task, and she absolutely couldn't mess it up.

"Cupping my fists, Honorable Deacon, the seats are based on first come, first served. Since my Heavenly Machine Sect arrived first, there is no reason for us to give up our seats." Zhuang Yan said neither haughtily nor humbly.

The venue for the conference originally had a sound transmission array. Now, seeing the hall master of a Profound Grade sect and Extreme Sword City, which was almost a Quasi-Heaven Grade sect, fighting for seats on the conference round platform, all eyes immediately focused on this place.

"If you don't move aside, don't blame me for taking action." Seeing that Zhuang Yan was so uncooperative, Dong Mingzi's tone became even more murderous. If this weren't the venue, he would have already attacked.

"Dong family scum, if you have the guts, try moving and see what happens." A voice with the same murderous intent came from behind Dong Mingzi.
