Chapter 315 - The Mo family

The cyan-robed elder sent that young man back through the air, and he happened to land in the Jade Qing Sect’s area. Yu Yifeng went up to help the young man up. Then, he pushed some True Energy into the man’s body to ease his injury.

Xiao Chen threw a glance at the young man. “Whenever someone disagrees, he or she will be beaten up and spit blood because of that. What would happen if it were me?” Previously, Xiao Chen might have given his vocal support. But now, he only felt too exhausted to take care of other things. He turned around and was about to leave, but a thunderous voice rang out behind him. “Which one is Xiao Chen?”

Xiao Chen just lifted his foot, but then he took it back. He turned around to look at the strongly built elder in the red robe and asked indifferently, “What’s up?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder holding the peach wood cane narrowed his eyes. “At such a young age, how do you not know that you should show some respect to your elders?” After that, he shot a ray of white radiance from his peach wood cane once again like before.

The ray of white radiance came at Xiao Chen at an exceedingly fast speed. Xiao Chen flicked his hand and changed the white radiance’s direction. He said coldly, “If you want to say something, say it. Do you enjoy attacking others? I am Xiao Chen!”

Upon hearing Xiao Chen reproach, the disciples from each sect around them felt very happy in their hearts. When the elder was about to say something again, a cold voice suddenly came from the eastern end of the high platform. “How should I call you, my three friends?”

The Daoist League of the Five Continents maintained a special status. It was jointly formed by sects of the Orthodox Path from the Five Continents. Thus, unlike other individual sects, the Daoist League welcomed the people of the Orthodox Path from each continent. So even if the elder was rude, it was not okay for the Daoist League to directly drive the three of them away.

The elder with the peach wood cane still wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Chen. But since someone had asked him a question, he had to give up on that. He looked up and smiled. “I was here two months ago. Perhaps, the Chief cannot remember me now…”

“I am not the Chief. You can just go ahead and tell me who you are.” Obviously, the Elder in the red robe on the high platform became a little unhappy.

When the three people in midair landed on the ground, the people around them immediately dispersed. With his peach wood cane pressing against the ground, the cyan-robed elder stopped smiling and said in a cold voice, “Attention! I am Mo Tiannan from an ancient Heaven-exterminating family — the Mo family!”

When this statement came out, everyone around him looked at each other, puzzled. Their Elders had mentioned the ancient Heaven-exterminating family to them. It was a family that existed several eras before and could be basically considered as an ancient legend. But where did this Mo family come from? They had never heard of it for hundreds of years.

It seemed that Mo Tiannan was very dissatisfied with the reactions of those people around. “Thump!” With a dull thud, he violently poked the ground with his peach wood cane and knocked all the people near him a few steps away. Some of them even staggered backward and fell to the ground.

Finally, someone roared discontentedly, “Hey! Old bastard! We show you some respect because you are our guest! However, again and again, you act wildly! How dare you look down upon the Immortals’ League!”

“How dare you say that?” The haughty young man beside Mo Tiannan rebuked with a deep voice. After that, he pressed his fingers together and shot a finger force at the person who spoke just now. The finger force turned into a ray of golden light and went ferociously at that person. It was going to kill that person.

“Amitabha…” At this moment, someone in the near distance chanted Buddha’s name slowly and shattered the finger force with ease.

Those juniors did not know how to appreciate what was good. But some Elders of sects frowned already. “It seems that there was a potent Mo family before, but it suddenly disappeared a thousand years ago. Can it be that Mo family?”

“But what is the relationship between this Mo family and the ancient Heaven-exterminating family? It was something that happened tens of thousands of years ago. Nowadays, even the Su family dares not call itself the Heaven-exterminating family. Therefore, how dare this Mo family claim to be a Heaven-exterminating family! It is the greatest outrage to all established values.”

Just then, an odd sound came from the crowd. “Hey! Then, there is a question. Great Senior Mo, you are from the Mo family, an ancient Heaven-exterminating family, but what are you doing here?”

A strange old man wearing purple clothes and a mask slowly came out of the crowd. His words were full of sarcasm. Mo Tiannan understood that, so he bellowed in a deep voice. “How dare you!” Then, Mo Tiannan sent his peach wood cane forward toward the old man’s Tanzhong point.

However, Zi Mo spotted the little gourd giving out rays of golden light, which was tied to the cane. It was obviously not an ordinary thing either. So he quickly strode over to it. His figure moved swiftly, and he went around to the side of the cane. After taking a close look at the gourd, he said with surprise, “Gee? What is this thing? It looks like fun.”

After he said that, he grabbed the wooden cane with both hands and passed a hidden force to the other end of it. Immediately, Mo Tiannan felt his arm go numb, and then his whole body felt as if he had gotten an electric shock. Quickly, Mo Tiannan released his wooden cane.

Swiftly, Zi Mo untied the gourd with ease and threw the wooden cane back. Then, looking at the gourd in his hand, Zi Mo laughed. “Although I do not know what it is, it looks very powerful. I might as well accept it.”

“You!” Mo Tiannan’s face flushed bright red, but he was shocked. “Who is this person? Apparently, his cultivation is almost the same as mine. But how could he take the peach wood cane from me so easily? Was it really because I stayed in the Mo family’s mystic domain for too long and great changes have already taken place in the outside world? But previously, the Mo family was the great one among all the major families! No one dared to disobey its orders!”

Before, the Mo family was indeed the tip-top family. Unfortunately, more than a thousand years ago, it provoked an Immortal King. Hence, half of the Mo family members were exiled to the Human World while the other half was sealed in the mystic domain. Beyond that, those family members in the Human World were not allowed to step in the Violet Manor. Only when a person who had the blood of the Mo family’s emperor appeared could all of them be released from the inhibition. That person was Mo Yu.

On the high platform above, Perfected Immortal Qing Chen said, “Alas, Junior Brother. We are all from the Cultivators’ sect. Do not break the peace. Hurry up to return it to him!”

Zi Mo smirked. But unexpectedly, he threw the gourd to Xiao Chen. “Kid, here you are!” After that, he slipped away quickly. Nobody could see where he went.

Xiao Chen caught the gourd. But before he could react, he noticed that Mo Tiannan fired two rows of cold light from his eyes at him. So in a hurry, Xiao Chen threw the gourd away from him.

Thus, the crowd tossed the gourd to each other as if it were a hot potato…

Mo Tiannan’s face was red with anger. He stretched out and recaptured the gourd. At this time, a cyan-robed elder on the high platform coughed. “Well, Daoist friend Mo, can you tell us why you are here? In addition, my friend, please introduce yourself to us.” After he finished speaking, he looked at the strongly built Elder who had inquired about Xiao Chen’s whereabouts.

With a thunderous manner, the strongly built Elder replied coldly, “I am He Yingbiao, from the He family. Today I come here to ask for an item back from this kid! I hope that you do not intervene!” Then, he pointed at Xiao Chen.

As soon as they heard him mention the He family, the crowd started to whisper among themselves. “Hundreds of years ago, there was an Ancient Clan of Martial Arts that could make Immortals’ sects tremble with fear upon hearing its name—the He family. Is he from that family?”

Of course, juniors nowadays had never seen the fierce fight between Immortals and Martial Artists that very year. At that time, many people from cultivators’ sects were so afraid of the He family that their faces would change colors even when they mentioned it. It had become a taboo of those members of the Immortal’s Practice. In the end, the He family members began to take people’s Spiritual Meridians in all places. Therefore, dozens of cultivators’ sects joined hands and exterminated the He family, which then remained disappeared for hundreds of years. But now, it seemed that the He family was going to come back again.

On the high platform, the Elder in the red robe said coldly, “Oh? I’m sorry. I’ve got bad eyes. You are actually a He family member.” The fight happened a few hundred years ago. Now, cultivators and martial artists had already reached an agreement—they were all of the Orthodox Path, so they should root out the Devil’s Practice together; neither side could ever take the initiative to provoke a war between themselves. Even so, the Elder in the red robe still had an obvious grudge against the He family members.

With a flick of his sleeve, He Yingbiao said, “Since I dare to come to Jade Terrace Mountain alone, I am certainly not afraid of the Daoist League of the Five Continents. Today, I am not here to look for trouble. I only want this kid to give the He family’s Blood Lotus Demon Blade back to me! Of course, I will stay out of the business between you and the Mo family!”

Last year, Xiaoyue held an Immortal’s Practice Assembly in the Widespread Wintriness Sect. The He family members came to bully others to establish their family’s prestige. But as a result, Xiao Chen took the Blood Lotus Demon Blade away from them. It was not a secret. Most people in the crowd knew about this thing. Therefore, almost all the people here landed their eyes on Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Troublesome things came one after another. Now all of a sudden, he only felt upset. But it would be unreasonable if he were to refuse to return the Blood Lotus Demon Blade. However, this weapon had accompanied him for such a long time that he had got used to using it. Thus, how could Xiao Chen be willing to give it away? Moreover, the spirit in the blade had performed the Lord Acknowledgment Ritual with him.

“Then, little friend Xiao, please also return the Zuoqiu family’s Spirit-annihilation Halberd.” At this time, a voice also sounded outside the crowd. It was Zuoqiu Ping, who was coming up to Xiao Chen. The person with him was Ling Yuanshan from the Ling family.

“Alas, how about returning our Ling family’s Immortal-Binding Rope too, little friend Xiao?”

On that day, Ling Yuxuan hunted Xiao Chen. Then, Xiao Chen took the Immortal-Binding Rope away and made it his magic treasure. But Xiao Chen had never used it. Therefore, it was no big deal if he gave it back to them. But why should he do that? It was his spoils! Xiao Chen thought in his mind, “These people here are taking advantage of my misfortune to rob me. Do they think that I am a soft touch?”

He Yingbiao cast a cold look at Xiao Chen. “Xiao Chen, today, you have no choice but to give it back. I do not dare to attack you here, but I am willing to go to the uttermost ends of the earth to hunt you down once you leave this place!”

He Yingbiao had already reached the Lv 5 Sixfold in martial arts, which meant that he could be even more horrible than cultivators in the Nirvana Realm’s later period. He had an air of dignity when he said the few words just now. Only in a moment, Xiao Chen felt that his chest was extremely tight. Covered by such a powerful momentum, Xiao Chen found it a little hard to breathe.

“Whether you are from the Mo family or the He family, I don’t care. Since I am here, I am afraid that it will not be easy for you to put the young hero Xiao into an awkward situation!”

Suddenly, a sonorous and forceful voice sounded outside the crowd. Yang Tianfeng from the Yang family walked over there. Beside him were Yang Shaochen and Chu Hanyan. Yang Shaochen was continually hinting to Yang Tianfeng that he should not meddle in others’ affairs. However, with a cold face, Yang Tianfeng motioned to him to stop acting like that.
