The elderly man with white hair bent over, concentrating on drawing an array, as if nothing around concerned him.

A middle-aged man with an eyepatch stood afar, leaning against the wall, glaring at Mo Qingqing intensely.

It was this eyepatch man who, moments ago, used iron needles to pin Mo Qingqing against the wall.

"I know this Snake Immortal, her name is Mo Qingqing, a friend of Mo Lin," said a discerning person who recognized Mo Qingqing's identity at a glance.

He had seen Mo Qingqing in Jin County before.

Who doesn't know the name of Mo Lin?

He is the one who destroyed Great Spirit Mountain, the lone hero who slew the Evil Buddha.

In the past, when the Evil Buddha descended, it was Mo Lin who bravely stood against him at the Celestial Sect ruins.

If Mo Lin hadn't blocked the Evil Buddha, countless people would have been killed by the Evil Buddha.

"Gen Wubing wants to strip the Snake Immortal's fortune; isn't this a direct affront to Mo Lin?" another man remarked with a blunt truth.

The originally boisterous atmosphere instantly quieted down.

There weren't fools here; everyone was quite astute.

As long as they aren't dense, they can see the situation clearly.

Killing the Snake Immortal will surely offend Mo Lin.

"The Snake Immortal hasn't done anything wrong. Why do you wish to harm her life?"

When everyone was afraid to speak, the unexpected occurred.

A woman dressed in light red appeared.

Her hair was pinned up high with a gold fork inserted.

The woman's appearance was ordinary, with fair cheeks and long legs.

Compared to Mo Qingqing, she paled significantly in beauty.

After appearing, the woman extended her arm, shielding Mo Qingqing.

Protecting Mo Qingqing.

Seeing the woman so brave, there was a touch of awe deep in the eyes of the surrounding people.

A surge of hot blood moved through their limbs.

Some men even lowered their heads in shame.

A woman displays such courage, while these men see themselves as inferior.

"She hasn't done anything wrong. Why do you wish to harm her life?" Zhong Yangxi queried confidently.

"Young lady, don't meddle in affairs," the eyepatch man snorted coldly.

"This is not meddling in affairs, I just can't abide by your conduct," Zhong Yangxi retorted.

"She is connected with Mo Lin," the eyepatch man stated slowly, "Do you not know Mo Lin has ties with the Evil Cultivator Qin Yuyu?"

"Don't swap concepts,"

Zhong Yangxi scoffed coldly, "Isn't it because of Mo Lin's Disaster Blocker identity that you bully him?"

"Compared to you, Lord Mo Lin is a hero."

"Speaking from minor matters, Lord Mo Lin contributed to the human realm even at the grassroots level, capturing ghosts.

On larger matters, Lord Mo Lin single-handedly repelled the Evil Buddha's invasion.

Moreover, he eradicated the Ghost Realm's ghosts along Jiangzhou Dao, giving the human realm a breather."

"Lord Mo Lin has contributed to the human realm.

Who doesn't have some mischievous friends?

Lord Mo Lin having a friend who is an Evil Cultivator, what of it?

Does this invalidate Lord Mo Lin's achievements?"

Her argument was powerful and resonant.

Who here does not know of Mo Lin's achievements?

Mo Lin's deeds are many; Zhong Yangxi only mentioned a few major events.

"No matter how much Mo Lin contributes, he is ultimately just a Disaster Blocker."

The eyepatch man commented leisurely, "My family's young master is the Destined Person.

My young master is the hope to save the human realm."

"Can you stop talking nonsense?"

Zhong Yangxi scoffed disdainfully, "Gen Wubing is the Destined Person, but he seems not to have accomplished anything significant, has he?

Has he slain the Evil Buddha?

Or repelled the Yin Ghost invasion?"

Her words left the eyepatch man speechless.

Gen Wubing carried the title of Destined Person,

but in reality, he made no tangible contributions.

Nor any substantial achievements.

"With the chaos in the world, your Gen Family cannot behave unchecked.

Is it enough to simply have a Destined Person's identity to act recklessly?"

Zhong Yangxi chided softly, "There isn't only one Destined Person."

"I've heard, Lord Mo Lin defied fate at Great Spirit Mountain, breaking free from his Disaster Blocker identity."

As Zhong Yangxi's voice dropped, everyone present was shocked.

This last statement was like a thunderbolt exploding among the crowd.

Truthfully, in their hearts, people are still in awe of Mo Lin.

Everyone knows what Mo Lin did.

Not evaluating Mo Lin's good or bad, everyone knows of his fierce battle against the Evil Buddha.

Nowadays, Mo Lin isn't mentioned simply because he was a Disaster Blocker.

A Disaster Blocker is doomed to die.

This meant Mo Lin couldn't be the hero to save the human realm.

But... if Mo Lin's Disaster Blocker identity is broken, then it's different.

Destined People aren't limited to one, and with Mo Lin's abilities, it isn't impossible for him to vie for the Destined Person identity.

"What? Lord Mo Lin broke free from his Disaster Blocker identity?"

"Incredible."

"Seems we need to reevaluate our support."

Upon hearing that Mo Lin broke free from his Disaster Blocker identity, everyone around began to reconsider their thoughts.

"With the chaos in the world, we can support Gen Wubing, or other Destined People," Zhong Yangxi added again.

Now that the human realm is chaotic, many are beginning to take sides.

There isn't only Gen Wubing as the Destined Person.

These people are currently choosing their allegiance.

"What nonsense are you spewing?" the eyepatch man shouted angrily.

He clearly saw the emotional shift among the people around.

At this moment, as Zhong Yangxi stood before Mo Qingqing, attacking her would inevitably mean turning against Zhong Yangxi.

"What's your identity?" the eyepatch man asked Zhong Yangxi.

"Xu Yue City, Ghost-Controlling Dao representative, Zhong Yangxi," Zhong Yangxi announced her identity boldly.

This identity is far from ordinary.

It's not Zhong Yangxi's strength that is extraordinary, but her identity.

She alone represents everyone of the Ghost-Controlling Dao in Xu Yue City.

Xu Yue City has considerable foundation.

It was once the era of the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits.

"Xu Yue City, Daoist Cultivator representative, Chengqi," another man stepped forward to express his stance.

"Xu Yue City, Red Dust Immortal representative, Wei Liang," another man stepped forward to express his stance.

These two men stood behind Zhong Yangxi, expressing their attitude.

These three people aren't terrifying.

But they represent all three sects of Xu Yue City.

Even Gen Wubing must reconsider.

"What do you mean by this?" the eyepatch man questioned Zhong Yangxi.

"Protect Mo Qingqing from death."

Zhong Yangxi stated openly, "Our Xu Yue City was once favored by Lord Mo Lin, today is the day to repay that favor."

The eyepatch man frowned deeply, things were becoming troublesome.

The situation was developing increasingly uncontrollably.

This was not something that could be resolved by simply killing a few people.

The three people in front represent tens of thousands of Daoist Cultivators from Xu Yue City.

If they killed these three, the Gen Family would face Xu Yue City's Daoist Cultivators' retaliation.

Then, the situation would become extremely tricky.

Moreover, others were watching around.

If mishandled, it would trigger a series of chain reactions.
