Shuixi Tomb Raider (1/5)

"Uh..." Ma Feifei was stunned, looking at Mo Xie speechlessly.

In Ma Feifei's mind, he thought he was already quite shameless, but it wasn't until he met Mo Xie that Ma Feifei realized he was still quite far from being truly shameless.

As for Mo Xie, she could practically be his master in this regard.

"Mo Xie, you old thief!" At this moment, Qingcheng Xian also got up from the ground, and with a surge of Spiritual Power her hand, she attacked Mo Xie.

Mo Xie scoffed and casually caught the blow with a palm strike.

"Bang~"

A powerful force erupted, but it wasn't as earth-shattering as expected. The force seemed to be overwhelmingly eroded by Mo Xie, Qingcheng Xian was forced back five steps. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, trembled slightly, and her face was filled with shock. "You've actually broken through to the Immortal Realm too!"

Mo Xie didn't answer him. Instead, her face darkened with anger, and she shouted, "You unfilial son, how dare you cause trouble in the Mysterious Bookstore!"

After speaking, Mo Xie instantly appeared beside Qingcheng Xian and struck her with his palm. Qingcheng Xian was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Mo Xie then proceeded to deliver a barrage of punches and kicks.

"You unfilial son! How dare you lay a hand on your Laozi!"

"Can't you tell the difference between the two kings, huh? You dare mess with the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore?"

"I must uphold justice and even sacrifice my own family today!"

Ma Feifei and the others watched as Mo Xie beat up Qingcheng Xian, their expressions varying, but most were surprised that Mo Xie could subdue Qingcheng Xian so easily.

After all, Qingcheng Xian is a cultivator who has stepped into the Immortal Realm, and immortals have only recently appeared on the Azure Dragon Continent. Logically speaking, everyone's strength should be roughly equal, and it is impossible for her to be easily subdued.

Now, things have taken a turn for the worse. Not only has Mo Xie also reached the Immortal Realm, but his strength seems to surpass that of the other immortals, which is both shocking and unexpected.

Only Ma Feifei noticed the clue: Mo Xie had not only entered the Immortal Realm, but his realm had also risen beyond the First-Grade Immortal Realm to the Third-Grade Immortal Realm.

He is stronger than any cultivator on the mainland who has reached the Immortal Realm!

However, Ma Feifei was not surprised that Mo Xie had reached his current level. After all, Mo Xie had been able to enter the Immortal Realm a long time ago, but he had always suppressed it, preferring to remain in the Half-Immortal Realm rather than enter the Immortal Realm.

Now that the Great Dao is complete, he has finally unleashed his accumulated power, gradually releasing all the strength he had built up, and stepping into the Third-Grade Immortal Realm.

"Bang!"

Mo Xie kicked Qingcheng Xian again, sending her flying. Qingcheng Xian immediately fainted and lay motionless on the ground.

Everyone smiled without saying a word. How could a cultivator at the Immortal Realm be knocked unconscious? He was just pretending to be unconscious to save face.

"You unfilial son!" Mo Xie seemed to have had enough of beating her. She straightened her clothes, cursed fiercely at Qingcheng Xian lying on the ground, then turned around with a grin, ran to Ma Feifei's side, and said apologetically, "Hehe, shopkeeper, I'm really sorry. I was Xiao Mo flustered just now and was rude to you. I hope you can forgive me."

Ma Feifei, resting his chin on his hand, looked at Qingcheng Xian lying on the ground and asked, "Who is he?"

Mo Xie glanced at the fallen Qingcheng Xian and explained, "His real name is Wang Huan. Two thousand years ago, he was a tomb raider in Shuixi Qi State. He dealt with the dead all year round and learned some unorthodox techniques, gaining some strength. A thousand years later, I discovered him. At that time, the Demon Sect Cult was rising and the cult was in dire need of henchmen... ugh! In dire need of highly skilled elites, so I took him in as my adopted son, hoping he could be of use to me."

At this point, Mo Xie sighed again and said, "Who would have thought that this kid is no pushover either? Ever since we adopted him as our godson, he's caused a lot of trouble for the sect. He's always robbing people's graves, and in the end, he even dared to dig up the grave of my Demon Sect's founder."

"Then, shopkeeper, you said that although he is my adopted son, he dared to dig up the tomb of the sect's founder. Isn't that utterly rebellious? So I personally guarded the tomb entrance, ready to wait for him to come out and punish me. Who knew that he couldn't come out of the founder's tomb safely on his own? In the end, I had to go in myself, bring him out, and then find a place to bury him."

"Damn it! Mo Xie, you shameless scoundrel!" Before Mo Xie could finish speaking and before the others could even reply, Qingcheng Xian suddenly jumped up, completely disregarding her filthy appearance, and pointed at Mo Xie, shouting at the top of her lungs.

Mo Xie curled his lip, not even glancing at Qingcheng Xian, and said to Ma Feifei, "Shopkeeper, although the details of the story are slightly different, the result is absolutely true. My unfilial son definitely couldn't get out because he was robbing the ancestral master's tomb. I personally buried him in the Nine Tombs of our Demon Sect's sacred land. Who knew that this kid would actually come back to life!"

"That's not how it is!" Qingcheng Xian's fair face was contorted in pain as she ran straight to Ma Feifei and said, "Shopkeeper, don't believe this old scoundrel Mo Xie! He's the most cunning person in the world! Don't let his words blind you!"

Ma Feifei looked at Qingcheng Xian with a rather strange expression.

This guy was just being mean and sarcastic to me, so why is he suddenly licking my boots after I beat him up? I don't think I did anything wrong, did I?

However, from Qingcheng Xian's expression and Mo Xie's words, Ma Feifei could easily tell that there must be some unknown secrets between them, otherwise Qingcheng Xian would not be so hostile to Mo Xie.

But none of this concerns him, right? What the hell is he doing here listening to them reminisce about the past? Isn't he just bored?

"Alright, alright!" Ma Feifei waved his hand, looking at Mo Xie and Qingcheng Xian impatiently, and said, "You don't need to tell this shopkeeper about your messy affairs. Is there anything else? If not, get out of here."

"Hehe~!" Mo Xie rubbed his hands together, his skin rather thick, and grabbed Qingcheng Xian's arm, saying, "Shopkeeper, Xiao Mo come and bother you another day. I ran into that rebellious son today, so I have to give him a welcome feast."

"Shameless old thief! Let me go!" Qingcheng Xian glared and struggled, but she couldn't break free from Mo Xie's grasp and was dragged away by him.

"Shopkeeper, save me!" This was Qingcheng Xian's last struggle, but why would Ma Feifei pay any attention to such a person? He wished she would die sooner rather than later.

"Then, shopkeeper, we'll take our leave too." Cang Lan and Jian Wuji stood up, cupped their hands in farewell, and said awkwardly.

In this situation, it's not really appropriate to continue the conversation.

Ma Feifei waved his hand, took out two booklets from his spatial ring, one for each person, and handed them over, saying, "These are about the realm divisions after entering the Immortal Realm. If you have any questions in the future, just read the book."
