Mo Wuji subconsciously returned Ji Li's embrace. At this instant, his heart started to throb.

Ji Li instantly felt Mo Wuji's body heating up. She immediately returned to her senses and tried to break free from Mo Wuji's embrace.

The reason why she did all this was because of the extreme sense of weakness she felt since Fang Shiyu threatened to possess her. Thus, after she saw Mo Wuji again, she did not think twice to hug him. This was an act which was entirely based on excitement and fragility. In reality, there were no feelings between a man and a woman in her action.

However, Mo Wuji's reaction waked her up. This was because it was out of the ordinary.

As a cultivator that reached the level of Mo Wuji and her, he definitely wouldn't have such a reaction in that short moment.

However, Ji Li soon gave up trying to break free of Mo Wuji's embrace. No matter what, Mo Wuji was the closest person to her. Her late-stage Unity God strength seemed to evaporate as her entire body felt relaxed.

Mo Wuji immediately noticed when Ji Li first tried to break free from his embrace. He hurriedly let go of her and clapped her shoulders, ”There's no need to worry. After I discipline these fellas, we will return to the Immortal World. Also, I was slightly impulsive.”

In reality, Mo Wuji knew why he had such a reaction. If he said that he didn't have any feelings for Ji Li, he would be lying. Ji Li was the most beautiful woman he knew, Moreover, she was gentle and compassionate, which caused him to appreciate her.

Ever since he stepped into the Quasi-Sage Stage, his Mortal Dao became much clearer. From a certain perspective, Mo Wuji was still a mortal. Thus, he was different from other cultivators; he still had his feelings and desires.

Ji Li shook her head and said nothing else.

”You are that Mo Wuji that cannot be offended?” Fang Shiyu harrumphed and sized Mo Wuji up.

To be honest, he didn't notice anything special about Mo Wuji. In his eyes, the current Mo Wuji looked no different from a mortal. Of course, this should be because Mo Wuji practised a kind of concealment technique while allowed him to hide his dao aura.

Keke, was this useful? Only an ignorant person would conceal his cultivation in front of a true expert.

”Brother Mo!” Huan Ti and Tong Ming seemed to come to greet Mo Wuji at the same time.

Huan Ti's soul imprint was in Mo Wuji's hands. Thus, he naturally wouldn't show any form of disrespect to Mo Wuji. On the other hand, Tong Ming agreed to follow Mo Wuji in their cooperation against Luo Xu. Although Mo Wuji didn't participate in the cultivation of the world's origin energy, Tong Ming suspected that Mo Wuji met some other fortune which was no smaller than theirs.

Huan Ti and Tong Ming were both ex-Sages. Now, the two of them actually addressed Mo Wuji as a brother. All the cultivators in the surrounding immediately went quiet. Those that wanted to help Feng Qigu also stopped moving.

Mo Wuji nodded towards Huan Ti and Tong Ming. Then he said to Fang Shiyu, ”Who are you? How is the fact that I should not be offended related to you?”

Mo Wuji had just arrived and there were many things that he didn't know. Originally, he prepared to act against Feng Qigu because she was the one that threatened Ji Li. As for Fang Shiyu, he didn't think much of him. However, Fang Shiyu was currently the one that came to challenge him.

Ji Li hurriedly said, ”Previously, this fella tried to attack me. It was Senior Dao Monarch Yellow River that saved me.”

At this time, Dao Monarch Yellow River hurriedly came forward and clasped his fists, ”Dao Friend Mo, long time no see.”

When Mo Wuji heard that Dao Monarch Yellow River saved Ji Li, he immediately clasped his fists, ”Many thanks for saving my Senior Sister Ji Li. In the future, if you need the help of Mo Wuji, you only need to open your mouth and ask. Now, I still need to request Dao Friend to explain the situation.”

Dao Friend Yellow River was extremely clear of Mo Wuji's potential. Now that he heard Mo Wuji's promise, he was extremely delighted. Originally, he only wanted to repay Mo Wuji's favour for not killing him. He didn't think that he would actually earn the friendship of an expert like Mo Wuji.

Now that Mo Wuji asked him a question, he immediately replied, ”Dao Friend Mo is too serious. After I parted from Dao Friend Mo, I happened to see that Fang Shiyu was about to possess Dao Friend Ji Li. When I found out Dao Friend Ji Li's relationship with Dao Friend Mo, I stepped forward to stop Fang Shiyu. Now, Fang Shiyu has condensed his fleshly body and he has come back to take revenge on me.”

Hearing that Fang Shiyu wanted to possess Ji Li, Mo Wuji burst forth with killing intent. His killing intent seemed almost material as it enveloped around Fang Shiyu. Even Feng Qigu wasn't let off.

If he didn't kill the people that tried to possess Ji Li, then he wouldn't be happy.
