Chapter 610 Ming Hao

"So the assassination failed how is that possible, is he really being backed by one of the Elders?" A young man with a large build and scary-looking face was walking through a hallway while mumbling to himself. This was Ming Hao one of the Core disciples of the Void Sect.

Mo Wei and the others had reported to him of Mo Feng's survival. The level of the assassins he sent was high, in fact, in a certain sense, they were too much just to deal with a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple. Yet in the end, they failed to kill said Foundation Establishment Realm disciple.

'It's impossible for that kid to be able to defeat such a lineup of Golden Core Realm and peak Foundation Establishment Realm assassins. I already checked his background and there's nothing special about him. The most powerful person in his clan was just a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. So is he really being protected by one of the Elders, but why?... Tsk, I thought it would be easy to get rid of him and have Ying Yue for myself.'

Ming Hao clicked his tongue in irritation, he thought that by now he would be able to have Ying Yue but every time he was blocked by Mo Feng. Ever since he laid eyes on her Ming Hao was smitten. It was not like Ying Yue was the most beautiful or had the most attractive body or even the most talented, there were many disciples in the Sect that could surpass her in looks and talent.

In fact, Mei Zhen who was in the same batch as Mo Feng and Yin Yue was many times better. The moment she stepped foot in the Sect her beauty was already said to rival or even surpass Suzuki Hana's beauty, the one everyone agrees to be the most beautiful disciple in the Sect. Not only was her beauty above all others even her talent was beyond understanding.

After a few months in the Void Sect, she quickly rose in the ranks. She was now the direct disciple of the Sect Master and was now a Golden Core Realm Cultivator. She was the most outstanding woman within the Sect, but to Ming Hao, Ying Yue was better.

Unlike the powerful Mei Zhen who doesn't feel like she would kneel to anyone, the more docile Ying Yue was better in his opinion. The only problem was that there was a b*stard that was stuck to her.

At first, Ming Hao directly spoke his mind and asked Ying Yue to be his woman. He thought that someone like her who was below him would immediately agree, but what happened was the opposite. She rejected him in front of many of the Outer Sect disciples.

If not for the image he wanted to maintain he really wanted to slap her. Why would she pick someone who's obviously below him in everything? His Talent, riches, family background, and even his looks, everything about him was above Mo Feng, but he was not chosen. It didn't make any sense to him, but that's what happened so all he could do at the time was smile and tell her he wouldn't give up.

After that event, he told those who followed him to put some pressure on Mo Feng but not kill him. At first, Mo Feng fought back but once he learned that Ming Hao was the grandson of an Elder of the Void Sect, he no longer retaliated, but despite all the harassment he received he maintained a calm attitude and did nothing but train his sword arts.

Ming Hao thought that Mo Feng would do something at this point, or even just ask for them to stop harassing him, but in the end, he did none of those things. He was even able to become an Inner Sect Disciple after a few months.

Seeing his talent made Ming Hao actually feel threatened, now he was more determined than ever to remove Mo Feng from his life. That was when the harassment Mo Feng received turned into violent acts, of course, Ming Hao did not do any of this as he had an image to maintain. The ones who did the violent acts were his followers that were also Inner Sect Disciples. Yet, even after all that Mo Feng remained unperturbed.

Ming Hao saw how instead of making Mo Feng distance himself from Ying Yue, the two became even closer than before. Angered by this, Ming Hao asked one of his followers to hire some assassins. Due to his anger, he had hired too many assassins, but even then they were subdued. So now Ming Hao has no other choice but to ask his grandfather for help.

...

"Greetings grandfather," Ming Hao bowed as he approached his grandfather. Seeing his grandson coming to meet him Elder Ming could not help but smile.

"Oh, what's this my beloved grandson actually came to meet me. It's been so long since you last visited."

"Grandfather, it hasn't been that long we've just had a meal two days ago."

"Is that so? Well, to me those two days were like an eternity. What happened to the little boy who always clung to me and wanted to learn more about cultivation." Elder Ming sighed so deeply.

"I cannot always rely on grandfather in my cultivation, I need to have my own path to follow to become stronger."

"Heh, as expected of my grandson. I know you'll be able to soar far higher than I... So then, tell me why are you really here, did someone dare bully you? Just tell Grandpa who he is and I'll handle the rest."

"Actually," Ming Hao started to explain how he fell in love with an outer sect disciple but she had a fiance already. Of course, he didn't tell his grandfather about how he harassed Mo Feng or how he had hired assassins to deal with him.

"Oh, tell me who is this young man that actually dares to get in between my grandson and the girl he likes." Elder Ming spoke in a calm manner but the aura he was releasing was anything but calm.

"His name is Mo Feng an inner Sect disciple." The moment Elder Ming heard the name of the disciple the oppressive aura dispersed and his facial expression changed.

"Ming Hao, forget everything about that girl you and she are not fated. As for Mo Feng no longer bother him, do not do anything to him, and make sure to keep your distance from him. That goes for all your followers as well."

"Why must I do that grandfather? I cannot do that, I just can't forget about her!" Ming Hao could not understand why his grandfather would say such things. As he continued to tell his grandfather how he could not give up, Elder Ming suddenly spoke.

"Enough!"

Elder Ming's voice was not loud but the weight it carried was overwhelming, and the aura he was releasing was frightening. Ming Hao stepped backward as he was surprised by his grandfather's reaction. This was the first time he's seen his grandfather showing him such a serious face.

"Hao'er I have tolerated many things you have done, but this is one thing I cannot allow you to do. It's not like I don't know your personality, and I know that you have already done some things against Mo Feng, but that needs to stop now. Just follow what I say and forget about that girl, if you want I can introduce you to someone even better, someone more qualified to be by your side."

Ming Hao did not respond as he was looking downward. After a while, he lifted his head and looked at his grandfather.

"Can you at least tell me why? This is the first time I have felt like this, and I want to know the reason why I cannot do anything about it."

"This is not something I can tell you, you just need to know that you're no longer allowed to antagonize Mo Feng, and do not get close to that girl."

Ming Hao was about to reply but then he saw the expression on his grandfather's face and knew that no matter what he said nothing will change. Ming Hao then bowed his head and left the room without saying anything more to his grandfather.

Seeing his grandson leave Elder Ming could not help but sigh. He then remembered the day before the Sect Master left to go to the land of the Gods to hunt down the cursed children with some of the other Elders of the Sect. On that day the Sect Master had called every high leveled Elder in the Sect and issued a warning.

"Do not antagonize Mo Feng."
