In the midst of the chaos, my motherland cried out for my aid.

After Qingyan Zhenjun returned to the Celestial Court, he embellished the story and told it to Dongwanggong.

It's said that Mo Xuan disrespected the Celestial Court and insulted it many times...

The Eastern King was truly enraged.

In fact, even without Qingyan Zhenjun adding fuel to the fire, Mo Xuan's refusal of the Celestial Court's attempts to win him over was enough to enrage Dongwanggong.

I invited you and even offered you a high position, which was a big favor to you, and you still dared not accept it?

Do you think you're some kind of quasi-saint or all-powerful being?

How dare a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal be so arrogant? He's practically courting death.

The Eastern King immediately dispatched two Great Luo Golden Immortals, more than ten Taiyi Golden Immortals, and 100,000 immortal soldiers to Qixia Mountain to prepare for the encirclement and annihilation of the snake clan.

Moreover, news of Mo Xuan's refusal of the Celestial Court's invitation quickly spread, causing an uproar among the people of the East Sea.

Almost all living beings felt that Mo Xuan was courting death.

"Second Ancestor, it seems Mo Xuan has been arrogant for too long. Someone's finally teaching him a lesson!"

Ao Xun laughed.

He had suffered a defeat at the hands of Mo Xuan and harbored resentment. Now, seeing Mo Xuan being targeted by the Celestial Court, he felt extremely pleased.

"Still laughing at others? How much better off are we dragons?" Zhulong said irritably.

The three Great Golden Immortals of the Dragon Clan immediately fell silent, unable to laugh.

Because the dragon race really does have a tough time.

After Dongwanggong established the Celestial Court in the East Sea, he began to squeeze the Dragon Clan's territory and even made excessive demands on the Dragon Clan's resources.

The dragons were unable to resist.

The Celestial Court has four Quasi-Saints, how can they resist?

"I think that although Mo Xuan seems reckless, he is actually quite shrewd. The Celestial Court may not be able to get away with this," Zhulong said thoughtfully, looking at the situation at Qixia Mountain.

The three Great Luo Immortals of the Dragon Clan exchanged glances, feeling that their Second Ancestor had given Mo Xuan too high a rating.

The Celestial Court is a behemoth that even the Dragon Clan cannot contend with, so what makes the Serpent Clan think they can stop it?

"Fellow Daoist Mo Xuan, you have defied the Celestial Court. Come out and surrender immediately, and I may still put in a good word for you before the Celestial Emperor."

The Celestial Court led the expedition against Qixia Mountain this time, including True Lord Qingyan and another powerful expert in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, named True Man Bibo.

The one who shouted at this moment was none other than True Lord Qingyan.

"Fellow Daoist, I merely refused the Celestial Court's offer of recruitment. How is that disobeying the Celestial Court? Isn't the Celestial Court acting far too domineeringly?"

Mo Xuan walked out slowly and smiled bitterly.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't need to play dumb. Just come with us obediently!" Master Bibo said coldly.

"Ah! Well then, since that's the case, I'll accompany you two fellow Daoists to the Celestial Court and give the Celestial Emperor a proper explanation." Mo Xuan sighed dejectedly.

Qingyan Zhenjun and Bibo Zhenren exchanged a glance. They had thought that this siege of the snake clan would be somewhat complicated and that they would encounter resistance from Mo Xuan, but they did not expect that he would be so sensible.

But thinking about it, how many people in the primordial world would dare to oppose the Celestial Court?

"Fellow Daoist, you're so straightforward, let's go!!" Master Bibo flicked his sleeve, and a golden rope slid out, binding Mo Xuan.

This is a celestial rope specially made by the Celestial Court, capable of binding powerful beings in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

However, before the rope could even touch Mo Xuan, a fierce glint flashed in Mo Xuan's eyes, and in an instant, he transformed into a hundred-foot-long snake, opening his huge mouth to swallow all the people from the Celestial Court into his belly.

This included Qingyan Zhenjun and Bibo Zhenren from the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, as well as sixteen Taiyi Golden Immortals and 100,000 heavenly soldiers.

Mo Xuan's movements were too fast and too sudden; even the most powerful cultivator, Bi Bo Zhenren, didn't have time to react.

Mo Xuan had been so timid and hesitant just now, which made them lower their guard.

Even more unexpectedly, Mo Xuan dared to commit violence in public.

"That damned Dongwanggong will die a horrible death, and the Celestial Court will be doomed sooner or later, I'm telling you."

After saying this, Mo Xuan quickly disappeared into the Qixia Mountain formation.

Since we're going to fall out anyway, I might as well get some benefits before I run away.

Two Great Luo Immortals, sixteen Taiyi Immortals, and one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers—if they were to refine these, their cultivation would definitely increase by another level.

"Swallowed...swallowed...that serpent lord actually swallowed up the Celestial Court's army directly."

"I saw that too... damn, that's insane!!"

The commotion caused by the Celestial Court's expedition against Qixia Mountain was quite significant, and many beings came to watch the spectacle when the Celestial Court's troops arrived at Qixia Mountain.

They had guessed that Mo Xuan would fight back fiercely, that he would surrender, that he would beg for forgiveness...

I never expected... that Mo Xuan would directly swallow up the Celestial Court's troops.

If Mo Xuan's refusal of the Celestial Court's invitation was a slight slap in the face and a loss of face for the Celestial Court, then this action is a complete humiliation of the Celestial Court.

"Second Ancestor, how dare that brat!"

When the three Great Luo Immortals of the Dragon Clan learned of Mo Xuan's extraordinary feat, they were stunned into silence.

Is this guy really not afraid of death for provoking the Celestial Court like this?

That's too brave, absolutely too brave.

Even though they disliked Mo Xuan, they now felt a sense of admiration for him.

Zhulong didn't speak, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He had just used his pupil technique to watch the whole process. After Mo Xuan swallowed those Celestial Court soldiers, there was no madness or despair in his eyes. He was even very calm and had a hint of smugness in his eyes.

This shows that Mo Xuan has something to rely on.

What exactly was it that allowed Mo Xuan to openly offend the Celestial Court? Zhulong couldn't figure it out.

……

"Damn it! Absolutely damn it!!"

In the Celestial Court, the Eastern King Duke naturally learned of what happened at Qixia Mountain. His original intention was to make an example of someone, but he failed to catch the chicken and instead flew up and threw a pile of excrement, which disgusted him.

"Fellow Daoist Han Hai, I urge you to come along. I want Mo Xuan dead! I want him dead!" Dong Wanggong said coldly.

"Immortal Emperor, rest assured, he is merely a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. I will surely make his soul vanish."

Han Hai Zhenren was dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face and a long sword at his waist. He exuded the unique aura of a quasi-saint.

After saying that, Master Hanhai transformed into a streak of azure light and headed straight for Qixia Mountain.

In Qixia Mountain, the snake clan was initially shocked to see Mo Xuan devour the Celestial Court's troops, but then they were relieved. This was something their lord could do; it was just that kind of boundless arrogance.

After Mo Xuan reassured them, the snake clan members went about their own business.

If their lord isn't worried, why should they be?

Mo Xuan was somewhat bewildered by the snake clan's reaction. Were these guys really that mentally strong?

Mo Xuan didn't pay much attention to it and went directly to Huang Zhongli to begin refining the Celestial Court troops inside his belly.

The 100,000 immortal soldiers and Taiyi Golden Immortal experts of the Celestial Court were fine; once inside Mo Xuan's belly, they would be completely transformed into the purest immortal spiritual energy in no time.

The troublesome ones are True Lord Qingyan and True Man Bibo.

These two are both powerful beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one at the mid-stage of Great Luo and the other at the late-stage of Great Luo.

Even if Mo Xuan's stomach is incredibly strong, and even if his Devouring Technique Refining Divine Ability is incredibly powerful, there's still a limit.

The two joined forces and wreaked havoc inside Mo Xuan's belly, using threats and inducements to try and escape. They almost managed to get out, but fortunately, Mo Xuan managed to suppress them in the end.

Of course, even if you escape, it's fine. This is within the Serpent Clan's great formation; escaping means certain death anyway.
