My cultivation is too warm

After returning from the Xianqing World, Xu Mo never cared about other things again and focused on consolidating his cultivation.

This time, the continuous breakthroughs in a short period of time made him a little worried that it might cause his foundation to become unstable and his cultivation to become superficial.

Although both Zixiao Daoist Master and Ye Laodao told him that he had a solid foundation and this kind of problem would not occur, so he could rest assured.

However, after hearing this, Xu Mo was still worried. He believed that he had to be extremely cautious about matters concerning his future. If he didn't take time to calm down, he would always feel that something was missing. He felt anxious and uneasy.

What's more, now that his cultivation has made a breakthrough, some of his attack methods need to be updated, and he also needs to adapt to his own strength.

Even though he has encountered very few situations requiring fighting so far, he will not relax. Otherwise, when the time comes to fight, he will find that he cannot control his strength well enough, and his various Taoist magic skills will encounter bumps and bruises, which will be troublesome.

He cannot wait for danger to come, but should be ready to deal with it at any time.

Therefore, he must ensure that there cannot be even the slightest error in his control over his own power.

This is what he has been doing all along. This is his base and he cannot lose it.

So after returning from the Xianqing world, he has been practicing in the thatched cottage. Lin Miaoqing is very happy about this. After all, it is great to have a junior brother to practice with him every day.

Xu Mo discovered that since meeting the people from the Xianqing world, his senior sister's swordsmanship has improved faster and faster.

Now, one out of ten times when she swung the sword could actually look like a sword, which surprised Xu Mo greatly. You know, she was far from that before.

However, watching the changes in Lin Miaoqing, he felt a little uneasy, or worried. He wondered if when her sword swing completely turned into the shape of a knife, it would mean that she would become the former Xianqing Tiandao.

He couldn't find the answer to this, but he certainly wouldn't stop his senior sister from practicing.

Xu Mo's practice this time lasted for six months before he stopped.

Perhaps it was because his spiritual power was growing stronger, or perhaps it was due to other reasons. In short, just as Taoist Zixiao and Taoist Ye said, his foundation was solid and there was absolutely no problem at all.

As for the control over his own strength, it was also extremely smooth and there was no problem at all.

Under such circumstances, he checked for deficiencies and filled in the gaps bit by bit, and polished it carefully for half a year. When he found that he could not find any problems at all, he felt at ease to interrupt his practice.

Not long after he left the hut and returned to the gate of Wuyou Peak, Wang Er found him and said to him with a serious expression:

"Recently, I don't know what's going on with those exchange students from other lands, but they've suddenly been causing trouble."

Xu Mo's face changed when he heard this, "Our disciples are not injured, right?"

Wang Er shook his head. "That's not the case. Currently, they're just arguing verbally. They're extremely arrogant and often insult my disciples. It's just that our disciples haven't responded and have been patient, so they haven't resorted to violence."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo immediately became angry. If he encountered such a thing himself, with his personality, he might not care and could tolerate it.

But the ones being insulted now were his disciples from Wuyou Peak. As the peak master of Wuyou Peak, how could he possibly tolerate such a thing?

If he lets his disciples suffer insults from outsiders without showing any reaction, then wouldn't he be a complete failure as the peak master?
Then he looked at Wang Er and asked, "So how did you deal with them when they insulted our disciples?"

Wang Er shook his head and sighed upon hearing this. He looked somewhat helpless and said, "What else can we do? After all, they didn't actually do anything. They were just insulting others. The most we can do is criticize and educate them. There's no way to punish them too harshly."

He paused, clenched his hands on the table, and said, "Besides, they are exchange students after all, and their status is quite special. If the punishment is too severe and something happens, we will be in trouble."

Xu Mo was slightly startled when he heard this. He understood Wang Er's concerns, but he was still a little resentful in his heart. "What's wrong with exchange students? As long as they make mistakes, they should be punished. We can't just support them because they are exchange students, right?"

This feeling made him feel particularly humiliated, and some bad memories involuntarily came to his mind.

Then he slammed the table and said in an extremely firm attitude: "They are just exchange students, they are here to study. Moreover, we Cang Gu have always held the upper hand in the war against the alien forces from outer space, so there is no need to tolerate them."

"Since they have come to our territory, they must abide by our rules. So, Uncle Master, you will go to the Law Enforcement Hall later and have them issue a public notice. From now on, insulting a fellow disciple will be treated as harming a fellow disciple after the first warning. If it happens again, it will be regarded as harming a fellow disciple, and the consequences will be the same as if they had physically assaulted a fellow disciple."

"Giving them a chance to warn is our Canggu's last act of tolerance and courtesy towards these weaklings."

Xu Mo was filled with rage. He hated the kind of people who came to other people's territory and acted arrogantly by relying on their diplomatic protection.

What's more, Canggu is the powerful party, and those people dare to be so rampant. They are simply taking away their dignity. For such shameless people, they should taste the anger of "honest people".

After hearing his words, Wang Er opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He nodded firmly to Xu Mo and said, "I understand. I'll do it right away."

After saying that, he got up and left.

After Wang Er left, Xu Mo sat there alone. After a long while, he calmed down and thought about it carefully, but suddenly found something wrong.

He remembered that Wang Er had said before that those exchange students from foreign countries had always been very honest after coming here. Why did their attitude suddenly change?

This is obviously unreasonable.

It can't be that they were shy because they were unfamiliar with everyone, so they restrained themselves and didn't reveal their true nature.

Now, as time goes by, everyone has become familiar with each other and has no more concerns, so they will reveal their true colors, right?

It is obviously impossible. After all, this is the world of cultivation, not a youth campus romance drama. Those exchange students are all smart people who grew up in the treacherous world of cultivation, not green and ignorant adolescent boys.

Therefore, there must be a reason and purpose that drives them to do this.

Could it be that they want to take the initiative to provoke a war?
But this shouldn't be the case. After all, they were the ones who took the initiative to contact Canggu and seek peace.

Unless they suddenly change their mind, or the reason that made them seek peace before no longer exists.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo's face suddenly changed. He was naturally clear about the reason why the alien world outside the sky was seeking peace. It was to deal with the possible existence of an unknown existence above the Dao Zun.

If this problem no longer exists, does it mean that the existence above the unknown Dao Zun has become known?
If this is true, the problem is serious.

But even so, he couldn't tolerate his disciples being bullied.

After all, if the ancient world was in crisis, he could still hide and be tolerant.

But if the crisis comes from outside, he is in Cang Gu and can't go anywhere, so he can only choose to lie down.

It is true that he is a little cautious, but he needs to have the opportunity to be cautious. If his speculation comes true, he will not be able to be cautious at all and will have no place to use his energy.

In this case, we must not allow those exchange students from foreign countries to be arrogant. We must deal with them severely so that if something really happens in the future, we will be able to get what we deserve.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo took out the communication jade talisman and contacted Zixiao Daozun and his own sect leader Xuanyi Daozun respectively, and told them his guess.

He didn't know whether Daoist Master Zixiao and the others had discovered this situation, but no matter what, he had to tell them so that he could feel at ease.

In response to this, Zixiao Daoist Master just smiled and comforted him, "Child, just focus on your cultivation. I'm here for you. Just do whatever you want."

And his own sect leader Xuan Yi Dao Zun was even more straightforward, saying to him in a calm tone: "Whoever you want to kill, I will protect you."

Well, the swordsman spoke so straightforwardly that he felt a lot more at ease after hearing it.

Xu Mo originally thought that after he established this policy, those exchange students from foreign countries would be quiet for a while, but he was slapped in the face.

Just the day after the policy was announced, a disciple hurriedly came to report that Ou Fenjin had been beaten.

Hearing this, Xu Mo immediately became angry. Everyone knew that Ou Fenjin was his pet, and he was inherited from his "father" Wuyou Lingnong. In the eyes of outsiders, this should have special meaning to him.

Now, someone actually dares to hit his own pet. Isn’t this a slap in his face?

Although given his personality, he never cares about being slapped in the face by others, the prerequisite is that the person being slapped is actually himself, not the people around him!
When Xu Mo rushed to Ou Fenjin's kitchen, he saw it squatting on the ground with its hands on its head, being punched and kicked by three young men in fancy clothes.

Ou Fenjin did not fight back at all, allowing those people to punch and kick him, and he shouted to the Wuyou Peak disciples around him:
"Everyone, please don't come over to help. Don't be impulsive. Uncle Ou is begging you. Just let them beat me."

The surrounding disciples of Wuyou Peak naturally disagreed. In the minds of these disciples of Wuyou Peak, Ou Fenjin and Elder Nuannuan were the best people to them and had special meaning in their hearts.

But they couldn't go forward to help because the tentacles extended by Ou Fenjin blocked them and made it impossible for them to move forward.

Unless they cut off those tentacles, but how is that possible? How could they possibly attack their own Uncle Ou?
That's why the scene Xu Mo saw when he arrived happened: Ou Fenjin squatted on the ground and was beaten, while many disciples around him could only stand by and worry.

Many disciples were so anxious that tears came out of their eyes. "Uncle Ou, please let us go. Please."

Ou Fenjin refused loudly, "No, these people are exchange students from outside the world. If we fight with them, it will definitely bring big trouble to you.

They just hit me with their fists to vent their anger, without using any spiritual power, so they can't really hurt me. So it's okay, just let them hit me. Everyone, please don't tell the young master about this and make things difficult for him."

The three foreign exchange students said in an extremely arrogant tone, "That's right, Fatty, you still have self-awareness. We really don't dare to hurt you, so let us fight a few times to vent our anger. We haven't been able to kill anyone in your Cang Gu for a while, and it's really uncomfortable for us."

Ou Fenjin held his head, letting their fists and feet fall on him, and replied: "Okay, as long as you don't let the young master know about this."

Xu Mo, who had rushed over and saw this scene, immediately shouted, "It's too late. I already know, Ou Fenjin, I order you as the master to retract your tentacles."

Ou Fenjin was startled by Xu Mo's voice. "Young Master, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to tell me? Why didn't you listen?"

"Take it back!" Xu Mo shouted loudly, "Don't make me say it a second time."

There was no emotion in his voice, and because of this, Ou Fenjin didn't dare to say anything after he finished speaking and kept silent.

When Xu Mo appeared, the three exchange students from Tianwai who were punching and kicking Ou Fenjin were also frightened.

But they quickly realized that they were exchange students, and they bet that Xu Mo would not dare to do anything to them.

So after looking at each other, they stopped what they were doing, then raised their heads and looked at Xu Mo with an extremely arrogant attitude.

As Ou Fenjin retracted his tentacles, the leader of the group smiled slightly and said, "Peak Master, we were just joking with it..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes widened and he saw a flash of a knife coming towards him.

The knife flashed, and the bodies of several people immediately exploded and turned into blood mist.

Until the moment the knife flashed across their bodies, the people present could still see the disbelief in their eyes, as if they had not expected Xu Mo to attack without saying a word, and even without asking the reason.

In fact, this is inevitable. After all, Xu Mo is a cautious person. When facing the enemy, a cautious person will either not take action, or once he does, he will be very decisive.

Thirteen had a deep understanding of this. After he died, he was chopped many times and finally burned to ashes.

Xu Mo's decisiveness instantly silenced the many Wuyou Peak disciples present. Then they cheered, their necks reddening as they shouted, "Good kill!"

They just watched helplessly from the side and felt so frustrated that they couldn't do anything. They just wished they could do it themselves. Now that Xu Mo has killed those people, they are naturally excited.

Facing the crowd's cheers, Xu Mo expressionlessly retracted his pitch-black dragon-patterned broadsword, then took a few steps forward and stood in front of Ou Fenjin, "Why don't you fight back?"
