Chapter 129: Mo Ao Causes Trouble
"The Yellow Emperor is unkind, we are unjust!"
"The flames of Yellow Emperor's descendants cannot be tolerated, we are unjust!"
The Dobu people's roar, successfully pushed the public's resistance to the Yan Huang to the extreme, they loudly shouted slogans of resistance and uprising, and informed relatives and friends who were not on the scene, trying to gather more people to join the ranks of resistance.
Xue Shen Lei Di and the others were at a loss for what to do, their faces pale with worry. Yan Huang was indeed powerful, but he couldn't just attack the masses of the cultivation world. Not only would that not solve the problem, it would also add fuel to the fire, stirring up even more hostility among them. If things went wrong, it could even bring trouble to the entire sect, and they didn't dare to take that risk.
However, this atmosphere did not last long and was ended by a single word from Li Meng.
"You're Chi You's evil son, Mo Ao!" Li Mang had always felt that the voice of the man in the conical hat was somewhat familiar, and it wasn't until now that he dared to confirm his identity. Although the man in the conical hat intentionally changed his tone, Li Mang had a deep impression of this guy who almost took his life.
Li Meng's voice had just fallen, and the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down. Compared to Yan Huang's overbearingness, Chi You's ruthless and cruel image was more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and was unanimously regarded as evil. If this Doukui person was really Chi You's... They thought about it and felt a lingering fear. If Yan Huang were to take action against them on this pretext, they would be in the wrong.
"Hey, don't fabricate some unnecessary charges against me!" The man in the bamboo hat sneered, his voice lowered even further, but precisely because of this, it revealed his guilty conscience.
"Haha, I thought that Mo Ao, the arrogant one from the same generation as Chi You, was a genius born with pride in his bones, but now it seems he's nothing special after all! Haha!" Li Mang laughed loudly in the water, looking down on him with disdain and obvious mockery.
......The man in the bamboo hat fell silent, but Li Meng could still feel a chill emanating from him. Li Meng had obviously not mistaken him; he was indeed Mo Ao.
"Whoosh!"
The Snow Goddess suddenly made her move, and with a light wave of her jade-like hand, a water dragon burst out from the surface of the water beside her and quickly condensed into an ice sculpture that seemed to have a soul, vividly lifelike, roaring as it rapidly dived towards the man in the bamboo hat, its speed so fast that it made one's heart tremble with fear.
The Doukatsu person was shocked and lost color, with a humming sound turned into a ball of demonic energy to retreat, but its speed was still not as fast as the Snow Dragon, and it was knocked flying out with a loud crash. A black blood splashed towards the sky, and his Doukatsu was also broken and scattered.
Under the night, everyone can finally see this person's face clearly. He is very young, with a pale complexion, but there is a black stripe on his forehead, making him look extremely evil and eerie, which is the main characteristic of a demon cultivator.
"What a Chi You!"
"It's fortunate that nothing has been done yet."
The cultivators on the dam were discussing and speculating, with lingering fear in their hearts. If they had really made a big deal out of it just now, only to discover afterwards that the man in the bamboo hat was a member of the Chi You faction, things would have been terrible for them.
Mo Ao stood still, looking at the Snow God on the water's surface with a fearful gaze, and then transformed into a residual shadow and escaped towards the forest.
"Hmph, you think you can just leave?" The Thunder Emperor hovering in mid-air let out a cold hum, one of his palms lightly trembling as the surging thunder energy took shape in his palm. With a crackling sound, a thumb-thick purple lightning bolt shot towards Mo Ao's back as he had just dodged into the forest.
Mo Ao sensed something unusual behind him and instinctively pounced forward.
"Boom!" The purple lightning, though not very long, had an extremely powerful force. With a loud rumble, it shook the entire surrounding area, causing rocks to shatter and trees to collapse.
"Hmph!" Mo Ao hummed again, apparently injured, but he knew he couldn't stay any longer and continued to drag his wound disappearing into the night sky.
The Snow God didn't chase, the Thunder Emperor didn't either. For them, Mo Ao wasn't even on the same level, chasing after him would only lower their status. The others didn't care, but Li Mang felt a bit disappointed. He had been eagerly waiting for Mo Ao to die, but it was just disappointment. Now that Mo Ao wouldn't die, if he killed him personally in the future, it would be even more satisfying.
Mo Ao took a step forward, and the rest of the people couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. They had already begun to think about retreating, but they didn't dare leave on their own. For a moment, they stood hesitantly on the dam, fearful of the power of Xue Shen Lei Di, worried that they would be held accountable for their previous actions. Passion could make people's blood boil, but it could also make them lose their rationality.
With a splash, Li Meng emerged from the water, his clothes dripping wet, but he stood steadily on the surface of the water. He cupped his hands in the direction of the embankment and said: "Everyone can disperse now. In the future, this place will be built into a 'Taoyang Mountain Villa'. I estimate that it will be completed in a few months. If fellow practitioners want to cultivate in this place with dense spiritual energy, they are welcome to come and support us."
"Alright, alright!"
"Definitely!"
The people on the shore were overjoyed when they heard this, and they also took the opportunity to leave with their hands full. In the future, if they wanted to come here to practice, they might have to spend a lot of money, but none of them were short of money, and compared to practicing, material wealth was nothing to them.
"I say, young master, you're really reckless! You're using this place to build a mountain villa?" After sending away the idle people, Zhu Bajie criticized Li Mang with a heavy heart. This land might be ordinary for the Huang Emperor's clan, but it was absolutely a treasure land with good feng shui, and Li Mang used it to build a mountain villa open to the public, which was not an ordinary act of recklessness.
"It's mainly to provide a comfortable living environment for relatives and friends, nothing bad about it." Li Mang didn't think it was a waste. He is the typical type of person who doesn't know what hunger feels like, whether it's the Huangdi courtyard or the Shanhaijing space, they all provide him with a rich spiritual environment, let alone building a mountain villa, even if he builds a pigsty, he wouldn't think it's a waste.
"Hmph, you think that just paying us a few people will settle the matter? The Flame Yellow Hall needs a suitable environment to accommodate strong family members, and there are still many who are not satisfied." Lei Di sneered and poured a basin of cold water on Li Mang.
Li Mang's heart sank, but he had no way to refute it.
"Let's go!" The Snow Goddess was completely uninterested in these trivial matters, and with a light tap of her toe, the snow blocks on the lake surface shattered instantly. Her body also lightly took to the air, returning in the direction they came from. Under the night sky, her figure was infinitely beautiful, but even more so, it was cold.
"Hush... Lei Di and the others didn't stay much longer, they left soon after. Only Zhu Bajie stayed behind until the end, quietly reminding Li Meng: "Younger brother, you can ask the Abbot or Zhang Feng to help resolve this matter, I'll take my leave first!"
"Hey, wait for me!" Zhu Bajie stepped lightly on the water's surface, his 200-pound body surprisingly agile and swift as he chased after the Snow God and the others.
He saw them off and took another look at the water surface below, which had already been covered with a layer of spiritual mist. Li Mang fell into deep thought for a long time.
