The voice was calm, yet Lu Sheng's words were filled with anger.

However, Mo Tianji seemed oblivious to the anger in Lu Sheng's words, merely smiled and spoke for himself.

"Viscount of Fengxing County, this is the best deal I could get for you!"

"Even though you've wiped out the rebels, but your previous Cultivation Resources were provided by me. Without these Cultivation Resources, would you have become a Great Grandmaster and wiped out the Earl of Xingyun?"

Mo Tianji spoke casually, his tone detached and carefree.

In Mo Tianji's eyes, Lu Sheng was certainly talented, able to reach the level of a Great Grandmaster in a short time, but ultimately, it relied on the resources given by him.

Without his resources, Lu Sheng wouldn't be anything.

Let alone exterminating the Earl of Xingyun.

Most importantly… Mo Tianji originally had Lu Sheng take action as a means to weaken the Earl of Xingyun's power.

Whether or not he could actually kill the Earl, Mo Tianji didn't care; he just wanted to test the Earl's foundation through Lu Sheng.

So he could find someone else to deal with the Earl.

As for Lu Sheng…

From the start, Mo Tianji had considered Lu Sheng as a pawn he could discard at any time.

But what Mo Tianji didn't anticipate was that Lu Sheng had indeed slain the Earl of Xingyun, even obliterated him.

This shocked Mo Tianji.

But, despite the shock, it didn't mean Mo Tianji feared Lu Sheng.

As the offspring of a Martial Saint, just a Great Grandmaster…

Mo Tianji truly didn't take him seriously.

So the promised title of Earl was gone.

All Lu Sheng got was the insignificant leadership of a small county.

For Mo Tianji, this was a trivial favor he could grant effortlessly.

As for whether Lu Sheng would rebel, Mo Tianji wasn't concerned. As the son of a Martial Saint, apart from other Dukes' offspring, Mo Tianji had never seen anyone dare to defy him.

Even the Earl of Xingyun had invited him respectfully when he first came to the county.

Not to mention that Lu Sheng was just a small Viscount of Fengxing County.

In this situation, Mo Tianji naturally felt even more fearless facing Lu Sheng.

So much so that his gaze toward Lu Sheng carried a hint of mockery.

"Haha!"

Listening to Mo Tianji's words, Lu Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

And he laughed heartily.

"I've long heard that people from the Mo Family are ruthless, and now it seems that's true."

"But... what if I don't agree?"

The calm voice echoed in the chamber, instantly turning the atmosphere cold.

Lu Sheng's gaze fixed intensely on Mo Tianji, its coldness causing the heart of the Martial Saint's son to skip a beat.

For some reason, staring into Lu Sheng's eyes brought a thread of fear to Mo Tianji.

Almost as if facing his grandfather.

No…

Even facing his grandfather never brought such an oppressive terror!

Under Lu Sheng's gaze, turmoil rose in Mo Tianji's heart.

Instantly, Mo Tianji felt enraged, not expecting to be threatened by a mere Viscount of Fengxing County.

With his status, even an Earl showed him respect.

How could a Viscount threaten him now?

"Seems... you intend to become the next Earl of Xingyun!"

Mo Tianji spoke calmly, but the threat in his tone was evident.

Lu Sheng remained utterly indifferent to Mo Tianji's threat and said, "Since I'm in this position, the Xingyun County should bear the Luo name!"

"What Mo Family... I'm really unfamiliar!"

The calm voice completely changed Mo Tianji's demeanor.

"Luo Cheng! Do you have a death wish?"

Mo Tianji stood up, staring deadly at Lu Sheng, shocked by Lu Sheng's blatant disregard, filling Mo Tianji's heart with intense killing intent.

The chamber's atmosphere dropped to freezing temperatures.

Lu Sheng calmly looked at Mo Tianji and said, "Before I lose my temper, you have three breaths to leave here, otherwise..."

A fierce killing aura surged from Lu Sheng, falling upon Mo Tianji.

Mo Tianji's body trembled, his face turning pale.

He felt as if facing an enormous being, the pressure causing his soul to shiver.

Even under that fierce killing aura, Mo Tianji felt as if drowning in a sea of blood and mountains of corpses - extremely uncomfortable.

"You..."

Mo Tianji watched Lu Sheng, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Though Lu Sheng wasn't much older, he gave off an unnervingly terrifying feeling.

Neither his father nor grandfather had ever managed to evoke such terror!

Clearly… this palpable killing aura spoke of countless slaughtered lives!

Mo Tianji's heart shook immensely.

"One!"

"Two!"

As Mo Tianji stood shaken, Lu Sheng's voice already rang out.

The countdown… had begun.

Mo Tianji trembled, quickly decided to leave, sensing Lu Sheng truly might kill him if he stayed.

Though a Martial Saint's offspring, he was only a Grandmaster at his peak and no match for Lu Sheng… no chance at all.

He needed to leave first, then handle Lu Sheng upon returning to the capital!

Thinking this, Mo Tianji quickened his pace, swiftly leaving the Luo Family, but compared to his arrival, he seemed a bit more disheveled.

Only after completely leaving Xingyun County did Mo Tianji slowly halt, glaring back at Xingyun County filled with deep-seated resentment.
