Chapter 230 Sword Twenty-Three, Dugu Sword Pays Homage to the Mountain

"Master Xiong is a man of great talent and strategy. Now that he has abandoned the darkness and joined my ranks, it is truly a great fortune for me. Let us drink a toast together."

Mo Fei personally got up, helped Xiong Ba, whose face was still slightly pale, to his feet, casually used his mental energy field to bring him two cups of wine, and then invited Xiong Ba to drink with him with a smile.

Seeing Mo Fei's enthusiasm towards him, Xiong Ba was slightly taken aback, but his previously anxious heart immediately calmed down.

He quickly bowed and accepted the wine bestowed upon him by Mo Fei, then tilted his head back and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Good! The leader of the Heroic Society is a man of great talent and ambition. How could a small society like the World Society possibly contain a pillar of talent like you? From now on, follow me and work hard. I will definitely show you what it means to truly dominate the world."

At this moment, Xiong Ba also sensed from Mo Fei's words that he disdained the World Society.

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of background his newly recognized master was.

……

After the banquet, Mo Fei gave Kumārajīva a wink and then walked alone toward the city tower of the World Society.

Kumārajīva, having already understood the unspoken message, followed suit.

“Young master, it has been several years since we last met. I have missed your teachings for so long.

Kumārajīva, who had a guilty conscience, immediately expressed his loyalty, with a sincere expression and tears in his eyes, truly portraying the image of a loyal servant who valued affection and righteousness.

After watching Kumārajīva's tearful performance with a slight tremor at the corner of his mouth, Mo Fei couldn't help but secretly admire his talent.

However, young Kumārajīva is getting a bit arrogant these days. While he is highly regarded, he still needs to be disciplined.

"Kumārajīva, I've noticed your strength has improved quite a bit lately. What's wrong? Are you feeling a bit restless, wanting to try out what it's like to be a master?"

Mo Fei’s slightly cold questioning tone made Kumārajīva, whose eyes were filled with tears, tremble.

Recalling the ruthless methods used by Mo Fei in the world of Tianlong to raise people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands as livestock, as well as the life-and-death talisman within his body that caused excruciating pain when it flared up, Kumārajīva immediately went from feigning tears to genuine wailing.

"Young master, this humble monk has absolutely no intention of disloyalty. Moreover, the talisman within this humble monk has not been removed, and you possess terrifying strength that is unpredictable and beyond human comprehension. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, this humble monk would not dare to rebel against you."

Seeing Kumārajīva's hoarse crying and pleading, Mo Fei was too lazy to argue with him any further.

"Alright, stop howling like a ghost. I heard you've had some good hauls lately, getting your hands on the Indestructible Body and the Absorption Technique. Did you come to the World Society this time because you're after Xiong Ba's Three-Part Returning Origin Qi?"

The way to manage subordinates naturally requires a balance of leniency and strictness. Constantly scolding them will eventually drive them to desperation. A combination of carrot and stick is the most effective and foolproof way to manage subordinates.

“My lord, you are wise. This humble monk has indeed come for this reason.”

After being reprimanded by Mo Fei, Kumārajīva's back was completely soaked with sweat, and he dared not hide anything from Mo Fei when he asked questions.

"You've made good progress recently. I'll have Xiong Ba pass on the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi to you later as a reward for your hard work."

After that, Mo Fei chatted with Kumārajīva.

After listening to his account of his experiences infiltrating the world of the number one in the world, he dismissed him and went alone to refine his plan to plunder the world of Fengyun.

……

However, just before Mo Fei and his group were about to head to Lingyun Cave to cause trouble for the Fire Qilin, a rocket warning signal for foreign invasion was once again sounded outside the gates of the World Society.

Such warning rockets are typically only launched by the guard leader when a powerful enemy invades.

As a result, it rang twice in just two days.

Before Mo Fei could speak, Xiong Ba, who was standing next to him, snorted coldly and stood up angrily. He took the lead in asking Mo Fei, "Young Master, this is a warning rocket. It must be that some villain has come to invade. I will go and capture him and bring him to you to await your judgment."

At this moment, Xiong Ba's eyes were burning with rage. The World Society was the foundation he had painstakingly built, and in the past, which hero in the world did not fear him?

Now, one after another, people come to provoke us. Is it just that we have no choice but to admit defeat if we can't win?

But since when has the World Society allowed any Tom, Dick, or Harry to come and cause trouble?

Seeing the warning fireworks, Mo Fei was also a little curious: besides himself, who else in the world of the World Society had ever tried to cause trouble?

Looking at the furious Xiong Ba in front of him, and thinking about the possible person who might cause trouble, Mo Wu's expression became somewhat strange.

"This Xiong Ba is probably going to get tortured again."

However, good leeks have to endure more wind and rain, so Mo Fei tacitly agreed to Xiong Ba's request.

He led Fengyun, Qin Shuang, and the other two, all furious, and sped toward the fortress gate.

Seeing the three men walk away, Mo Fei then turned to Kumārajīva, who was waiting for orders nearby, and said:

"Let's go check it out, it might be a big show."

……

At this moment, in front of the steps of the World Alliance's gate, Duan Lang, dressed in red and carrying the Fire Scale Sword, stood proudly behind a tall old man with long hair and beard and sharp eyebrows.

At this moment, more than a dozen members of the Tianxia Society lay dead in front of the gate, each with wounds as if burned by flames, and each dying in a different manner.

Since being treated unfairly by Xiong Ba, Duan Lang has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Xiong Ba of the World Society.

After months of painstaking planning, they finally invited the Sword Saint, who had mastered the twenty-three-fold Sword Saint Dugu Sword.

This time, he was determined to make Xiong Ba pay a bloody price for his previous blindness.

"Xiong Ba, you are bloodthirsty by nature. Countless innocent people in the martial arts world have died because of your ambition."

"Today, the Sword Saint has come to punish you for the sake of all living beings. Why don't you come out and face your death?"

Duan Lang, who was very familiar with the World Society, naturally knew that the World Society had a large number of members, most of whom were extremely elite. At this time, he did not dare to venture into the mountain alone with his companion.

Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the mountain, they ruthlessly killed more than a dozen guards, forcing the guard leader to ask for help, all in order to create a favorable battle environment for their side.

Meanwhile, the Sword Saint, having exhausted too much of his energy comprehending Sword Twenty-Three, knew his days were numbered. He wished to use his remaining strength to help Wushuang City eliminate the formidable enemy, Xiong Ba, and thus tacitly approved of Duan Lang's provocative actions.

Just then, Xiong Ba, who had just arrived at the mountain gate, overheard Duan Lang's cursing.

He had been seething with rage, ready to skin the challenger alive, but his anger immediately subsided. He stood behind the mountain gate, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

It should be noted that the reason why the World Society and Wushuang City have always been evenly matched is because Xiong Ba has always been wary of the existence of Sword Saint Dugu Jian.

Now that the other party dares to openly challenge us, it is highly likely that Dugu Jian has mastered the peerless sword moves of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

Xiong Ba had always been extremely wary of Sword Twenty-Three, and he had absolutely no confidence that he could withstand this move.

"Damn it, they're all so strong, are they trying to kill us?"
