Chapter 621: Guarding the Golden Bell

“Good! Let’s go by what the Photo Studio owner suggested—one-third!”
Kai Xin gave Mo Mo a subtle signal, then turned to gaze at Mei Ying’s stunning beauty with a kind expression. After admiring her for a moment, he explained seriously, “Actually, the Mu family is already at a numerical disadvantage. Getting two-thirds is already very fair considering the Photo Studio owner’s proposal. Look, Mo Mo, it will be very difficult for just the two of us to take them down one by one… Even if I can kill an expert at the Wuwei realm in a short time, I can at most deal with two or three such experts at once… You can hold off at most one… The remaining one or two will cause us a lot of trouble.”
Though his words seemed intended to comfort Mo Mo, they also revealed his own thoughts and intentions, signaling to the people from Xifeng Tower that they shouldn’t think they were at a disadvantage… With Xifeng Tower’s strength, they would only need to exert one-third of their effort at most.
With a “Hmph,” Mo Mo turned away, clearly unconvinced.
No wonder…
If Yin Hu or Xiao Bei were here, would Xifeng Tower even get a chance to claim a share from them?
The members of Xifeng Tower actually gasped in shock!
Mei Ying stared at Kai Xin’s calm face with furrowed brows, quite surprised…
She too found it hard to believe that Kai Xin could defeat an expert at the Wuwei realm in such a short time! But there seemed no reason for him to lie. Moreover, whether this was true would become clear soon enough.
If it was indeed the case, Xifeng Tower would still owe the Mu family a favor.
Wu Kuo and the others exchanged glances, looking somewhat embarrassed.
The atmosphere among the seven became tense.
Even the air seemed to stiffen.
“If Young Master Kai Xin can quickly kill an expert at the Wuwei realm alone, Mei Ying is willing to help you buy some time. As for the share I mentioned earlier, let’s pretend I never said it.” His tone fluctuated slightly, likely carrying some intent to provoke Mo Mo and those who were upset.
“Good!”
Seeing Mei Ying say that, Mo Mo quickly responded.
“Mo Mo!!”
For the first time, Kai Xin used such a stern tone in front of others. Then he bowed to Mei Ying and the others, speaking firmly, “Helping the friends from Xifeng Tower in the passage earlier was just a casual act of kindness. But we must keep things separate—those two matters shouldn’t be mixed up. If the Mu family ever needs Xifeng Tower’s help in the future, Kai Xin hopes you’ll also extend a helping hand. As for now, it’s simple: form a team to carry out the mission… and naturally, profits should be distributed according to the rules of the martial world.”

After a pause, she turned to Mo Mo and said, “Don’t mention what you just said.”
“Oh.”
Mo Mo pursed her lips. Even if she was slow to understand, she had now realized that Kai Xin wanted to establish a relationship with Xi Feng Lou, or at least maintain friendly ties.
“Don’t take what I said earlier to heart.”
Seeing such a sharp contrast in Mo Mo’s behavior after Kai Xin’s scolding, Wu Kuo and the others were amazed.
You see, in ordinary gangs, few would dare to rebuke a top expert over trivial matters. Top experts have high pride and can’t stand being humiliated. Which gang doesn’t treat them like lords? Especially when it’s a woman—everyone cares about face in public…
It was surprising that Mo Mo didn’t get angry and even voluntarily apologized. Even Mei Ying was shocked and quickly nodded, “Sister Mo Mo is joking. I really shouldn’t have demanded a share.”
“I always keep my word—one-third share. Enough talk! There’s no time to lose! Let’s get started!”
Kai Xin’s words quickly shifted everyone from polite conversation to combat readiness.
“Mei Ying, take your men and guard the Golden Bell. I trust you. Remember, don’t let anyone or anything get close to it… at least until I deal with the Magic Gate disciples in the training ground and the elders arrive! This is crucial!” She couldn’t help but add another reminder at the end.
Kai Xin knew well how many Magic Gate disciples would rush to attack the Golden Bell at that moment.
“Don’t worry! With me here, the Golden Bell won’t be sounded.”
Mei Ying nodded gently—she understood the importance of the Golden Bell to the Heaven Magic Gate and knew this task wasn’t easy.
“Attack!”
With a low shout, Mei Ying and her men rushed along the edge of the training ground toward the central palace…
…
The intense sounds of fighting gradually faded as a strange energy surged from outside the training ground. The Magic Gate disciples finally stopped fighting under this unsettling energy and stared in confusion at the man and woman who appeared at the edge of the training ground.
“You two don’t seem to be from our Heaven Magic Sect!”
“Who are you?”
The two leading Magic Gate disciples, seemingly of higher status, stepped forward and shouted, clearly sensing something about Kai Xin and Mo Mo.
“…”
Mo Mo ignored them. With Kai Xin’s approval, she slowly lowered her Four-Section Guardian Sword, tapped it lightly on the ground, and moved swiftly!
Whoosh!

Under the vigilant gazes of the demonic sect disciples, he merged body and sword into a white streak that slashed through the crowd!
“Daring to invade the Heavenly Demon Sect! Seeking death!”
“Kill them!!!”
Hundreds of demonic sect disciples roared, grabbing their weapons and charging at Mo Mo.
However, they clearly underestimated Mo Mo, who possessed the Wind God Art. His stunning sword light resembled sharp gusts of wind sweeping away leaves—dozens of demonic sect disciples were flung aside screaming in pain!
“The one approaching is evil! Hurry! Ring the alarm! Inform the elders in seclusion to come out immediately!” Outside the crowd, many demonic sect disciples realized the situation was dire upon seeing Mo Mo’s terrifying strength and sword skills, and quickly sent others to ring the alarm.
“Look! There are people by the golden bell!”
“Damn it!” The demonic sect disciples rushed toward the golden bell in droves.
“Hurry, let’s all attack together! We must ring the alarm at all costs…”
Some stayed in the training ground to continue fighting against Mo Mo, while the rest rushed toward the golden bell from various directions.
Kai Xin walked into the training ground calmly and unhurriedly. Wherever he passed, those who tried to approach or intercept him had no idea what was happening—they suffered intense pain, spat blood, and collapsed instantly!
With his robes fluttering, Kai Xin walked calmly through the center of the training ground…
He didn’t bother to watch the fight between Mei Ying and the demonic sect disciples, nor did he pay attention to Mo Mo’s situation. He simply walked leisurely toward the entrance of the palace on the far left.
The palace doors were tightly closed!
Creak!!!
Ascending the steps, Kai Xin arrived at the door. He placed his hands on it and exerted force…
With a dull roar, the doors slowly opened! It was very quiet inside the hall. In front of an unknown golden Buddha statue, an emaciated old man sitting on a cushion suddenly opened his piercing eyes and flashed them at Kai Xin like lightning.
