Chapter 45: Slapping Mo Family's Second Young Lady
Among the riders, the leader was a young woman.
She wore a tight-fitting red outfit that perfectly outlined her delicate, curvaceous figure.
Her face was quite beautiful, and a small crystal ornament hung from her smooth forehead. As it swayed gently, it lent a touch of lively charm to her somewhat haughty features.
The red-clad woman kept her gaze fixed ahead, never sparing the pedestrians on the street so much as a glance.
She rode on her own, leading a group behind her as they charged recklessly through the streets under the helpless gazes of the guards.
The clatter of hooves made the pedestrians uneasy.
"Damn it, isn't she only acting so smug because she's Mo Family's Second Young Lady? What the hell is she so proud of? Didn't the Mo Family gain its current status by currying favor with the Misty Cloud Sect? Once the sect no longer favors them, the Mo Family will be kicked out sooner or later."
"Mo Family's Second Young Lady has always been a spoiled, overbearing brat. She's used to being arrogant."
"Who told her to be Mo Family's Second Young Lady? After all, the Mo Family of Yancheng is the strongest force here."
"Damn, when the Mo Family falls on hard times someday, let's see how smug she can still be."
After recognizing the riders' identities, the pedestrians quickly moved aside, unwilling to invite trouble.
Many of them cursed under their breath.
Of course, they only dared to curse quietly, afraid of being overheard.
In Yancheng, no one dared to offend the Mo Family lightly.
Not only was the Mo Family powerful in Yancheng, but it also had the colossal Misty Cloud Sect backing it.
Within the Jia Ma Empire, even the imperial family had to fear the Misty Cloud Sect to some extent.
"Move!"
As Mo Linglin galloped forward, she saw a silver-haired youth standing in the middle of the street with no intention of moving aside.
She shouted loudly and lashed her whip at the silver-haired youth.
The long whip tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
If an ordinary person had been struck by it, their flesh would have been split open.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, coldness flickering within them. "Hmph, what a spoiled woman. You dare attack me?"
Rather than dodge, he stood firmly in place as Dou Qi surged through his body.
As the Overlord Tiger's Furious Aura Fist circulated, the phantom of a massive tiger condensed around him.
Powerful force gathered in his fist.
He stepped forward, caught the incoming whip with one hand, then fiercely punched the horse in the head.
With a tiger's roar, the galloping horse was struck by the punch. Its head slammed to the ground, and even its massive body was sent flipping over.
"Ah!"
Mo Linglin screamed in terror, her eyes filled with fear.
Her entire body was flung into the air, rising a full five meters.
The guards following closely behind her were all frightened out of their wits.
At the critical moment, Dou Qi circulated through her body as she braced both hands against the ground.
Her hands struck the ground and offset much of the momentum, but she still rolled across the ground and fell heavily.
She rolled more than four meters before finally coming to a stop.
The guards hurried over and helped her up.
"Surround him! Don't let him get away!" Mo Linglin pointed furiously at Chen Xuan and ordered the guards around her to surround him.
Facing the encirclement, Chen Xuan remained unconcerned, looking at Mo Linglin with an amused smile.
When the pedestrians saw this, they all hid to one side to watch the show.
"That kid is in trouble now. He actually dared offend Mo Family's Second Young Lady. He's finished."
"Hehe, if you offend the Mo Family in Yancheng without a sufficiently powerful background, your end will definitely be miserable."
"That kid looks well dressed, so he probably isn't ordinary. I wonder how he compares to the Mo Family."
Seeing Chen Xuan surrounded by Mo Family members, everyone thought he was done for.
Many people in Yancheng knew that the Mo Family was not to be provoked. Offending them meant endless trouble.
Chen Xuan remained calm.
Of the five people surrounding him, their strength ranged between Dou Zhe and Dou Shi. They posed no pressure at all.
As for Mo Family's Second Young Lady, she was even less worth worrying about.
In Chen Xuan's eyes, she was nothing but weak trash.
"Teach him a vicious lesson!" Mo Linglin's face was frosty.
She had been thoroughly frightened just now.
If she had not possessed some skill, she would certainly have been seriously injured.
Since he had dared block her path, he had to bear the consequences.
In Yancheng, there were very few people who could make Mo Linglin wary.
After receiving the order, the five guards lunged at Chen Xuan viciously.
Dou Qi power gathered in Chen Xuan's fists, and his aura instantly rose to the level of an eight-star Dou Shi. Then, he fought the five men.
Those five were far too weak. His mere eight-star Dou Shi strength was enough to knock them down with ease.
Moreover, the Dou Techniques Chen Xuan used were several levels stronger than theirs.
Miserable screams rang out as five figures were sent flying one after another by Chen Xuan's blows. They collapsed on the ground, howling in pain, all having lost their ability to fight.
Mo Linglin was dumbfounded at the sight.
"You're next." Chen Xuan bared his teeth at Mo Linglin in a sinister smile.
"Don't come over! I'm a disciple of the Mo Family. If you dare lay a hand on me, you won't be able to leave Yancheng!" Seeing that Chen Xuan intended to attack her, Mo Linglin's face turned pale as she backed away continuously.
Chen Xuan was unmoved by her threat.
He rushed over swiftly and subdued Mo Linglin with absolute strength.
No matter how she struggled, she could not break free.
"Let me go!" Mo Linglin cried out in terror.
But Chen Xuan turned a deaf ear, raising his hand and striking her buttocks.
"Slap! Slap! Slap..."
Every slap was heavy, the sharp sounds making people's scalps tingle.
Everyone around them was dumbfounded.
That was Mo Family's Second Young Lady, yet someone was publicly spanking her in the street.
Such a thing was extremely rare.
Mo Linglin burst into tears, crying so hard that tears covered her cheeks.
From childhood until now, no one had ever treated her like this.
What was more, he was spanking her before so many people. She had lost all face.
"I am a core disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. If you want to cause trouble for me, come find me at the inn ahead," Chen Xuan said, taking out his Misty Cloud Sect disciple identification and waving it before Mo Linglin's eyes.
When she saw the identification in Chen Xuan's hand, Mo Linglin's face turned pale with fright, and she even forgot to cry.
She recognized the identification of a Misty Cloud Sect disciple, because her elder brother, Mo Li, was also a Misty Cloud Sect disciple.
Seeing the fear in Mo Linglin's eyes, Chen Xuan suddenly wanted to frighten her further. He said, "Come personally tonight to apologize to me and serve me for one night. Otherwise, this matter won't be over."
After saying that, Chen Xuan turned and walked toward the inn ahead.
A feeling of despair suddenly rose in Mo Linglin's heart.
Judging by Chen Xuan's appearance, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
A Dou Shi at fifteen or sixteen—his talent was monstrous.
Someone like him definitely held no low status within the Misty Cloud Sect.
Mo Linglin was led away by the guards in a daze, heading back to the Mo Family.
After entering the inn, Chen Xuan was assigned a superior room without having to pay.
That was because he was a Misty Cloud Sect disciple, while the inn had been booked by the Mo Family.
The innkeeper had seen the conflict between Chen Xuan and Mo Linglin clearly, so he did not dare offend him.
Elsewhere on the street, a black-robed youth stared coldly at the entrance of the inn Chen Xuan had entered. "The Three-Year Agreement has arrived. Wait for me at the Misty Cloud Sect."
"Judging by that kid's age, he should be around sixteen," Yao Chen's voice sounded. "I never expected a small sect like the Misty Cloud Sect to have such a talented disciple."
"Hmph, so what if he's a talented disciple? I'll beat him flat," the black-robed youth snorted.
"Hehe, with your current strength, dealing with an eight-star Dou Shi won't be difficult," Yao Chen said with a laugh.
The black-robed youth's lips curled upward slightly, brimming with confidence.
As for Mo Linglin, on the way back under the guards' escort, she encountered an acquaintance—Nalan Yanran.
The moment she saw Nalan Yanran, it was as though she had seized a lifeline.
