Outside the mansion, two or three hundred people surrounded the mansion, and no one could get in or out.
Patriarchs of the five great families came forward personally, and there were forty or fifty Core Formation experts alone, and the powerhouses equivalent to more than half of Sun Martial City came.
The second master of the Mo Family, Mo Hong, and the third master of the Mo Family, Mo Miao, both received the news and walked out of the house one after the other.
Looking at the head of the five great families, both of them looked a little ugly.
Soon Mo Hong said, "What are your five great families doing? Are you going to declare war on our Mo Family?"
"No."
Ning Rujian shook his head, "Whether to declare war on your Mo Family depends on your Mo Family's attitude. We are just here to ask you for someone. As long as you hand them over, we can temporarily let you go."
Hearing Ning Rujian's words, not only Mo Hong, but even Mo Miao was stunned.
The five great aristocratic families came forward aggressively and surrounded the entire Mo's mansion. Everyone would think that they came to destroy the Mo Family, but they never thought it was not.
They didn't plan to destroy the Mo Family at all, they just forced the Mo Family to surrender someone.
Who would believe this?
Who could make the five great families go to war and send so many people to ask for that person?
"You said you want us to hand over someone, who is that person?" Mo Hong asked quickly.
The person in charge of negotiations with the five great families was still Ning Rujian. Mo Hong only heard him say, "Mo Xiu, as long as you hand over Mo Xiu obediently, we can leave your Mo Family today."
Upon hearing this, Mo Hong was immediately happy.
Up to now, he still didn't know why Mo Xiu was suddenly targeted by people from the five great families, but this kind of thing could not be better for him, it was simply a cookie from heaven.
After all, he didn't want to see Mo Xiu himself and wanted to get rid of Mo Xiu, but his strength was limited since he had to put more energy into competing with Mo Miao for the position of Patriarch.
But now, someone came to force him to hand over Mo Xiu. What could be better than this?
When he was worried that he couldn't solve Mo Xiu and doze off, someone brought a pillow over to him...
"Do you think if your five great families want us to hand over a person, we will just hand him over like this? You have to give us an explanation, right? Where did my nephew Xiu offend you?" Mo Miao asked suddenly.
As the opposite of Mo Hong, his position was different from Mo Hong, and he did not want Mo Xiu to fall into the hands of the five great families.
After all, Mo Xiu had a lot of secrets, and there were many powerful methods. He had not unearthed the secrets of Mo Xiu. He hadn't got the Mo Ruyi's palm technique, and he hadn't mastered Mo Xiu's means of killing people invisibly.
In the final say, he hadn't done anything yet, naturally, he didn't want Mo Xiu to fall into the hands of the five great families at this time.
Ning Rujian could see that Mo Miao was reluctant to hand over Mo Xiu, and he snorted, "Where did he offend us? He killed our Ning Family's people. It is only natural and righteous for you to hand over the murderer. Could it be this is too much for you?"
This was not nonsense. Not only the Ning Family, but also the Liu Family and Jiang Family's people had died at the hands of Mo Xiu, but not everyone knew the previous actions of the Ning Family, Liu Family, and Jiang Family, so many people thought that Ning Rujian was looking for excuses.
"Mo Xiu killed your Ning Family's people? Is there evidence?" Mo Miao didn't know much about Mo Xiu's actions, so he was dubious about Ning Rujian's words.
"Evidence? You still need evidence?" Ning Rujian shook his head slightly, "What? Are you, Mo Miao unwilling to hand over Mo Xiu? If your Mo Family wants to declare war with our five great families, that's fine. Anyway, Mo Xiu finally will still fall into our hands in the end."
"I..." Mo Miao felt a little aggrieved.
He really didn't want to hand over Mo Xiu, but in this case, it seemed impossible if he didn't hand over Mo Xiu. After all, with the current strength of the Mo Family, he couldn't fight against the five great families at all, otherwise, he would kill himself.
"Third brother!"
Mo Hong persuaded him in turn, "You are also the third master of the Mo Family anyway. You must take the overall situation as the most important thing, and sacrifice Mo Xiu to save our entire Mo Family. Even if the eldest brother is alive, he will certainly agree."
Mo Miao couldn't help but glance at Mo Hong. He always felt that Mo Hong's words were a bit shameless, but it was not the time to even ridicule Mo Hong.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "I will not stop you, but I will not help you. I hope you will abide by the agreement and not declare war on our Mo Family, otherwise, our Mo Family will not be that easy to bully."
"This is natural." Ning Rujian nodded.
After that, everyone negotiated again, and after reaching an agreement, the patriarchs of the five great families entered the mansion with almost all the Core Formation cultivators, and walked towards the courtyard where Mo Xiu was under the leadership of Mo Hong.
...
At the entrance of the small courtyard where Mo Xiu was, Mo Hong stopped and said to the people of the five great families, "I won't go in with you. There should be only three people in the courtyard. You can figure it out by yourself."
Ning Rujian nodded lightly, and immediately looked at Zheng Yuanwu, the head of the Zheng Family, and Guo Wenwang, the head of the Guo Family, "Which one of you will be first?"
After all, there was no discussion before which one would control Mo Xiu, but the Ning Family, the Liu Family, and the Jiang Family did not intend to seize control. Only the Zheng Family and the Guo Family did not express their views.
Zheng Yuanwu and Guo Wenwang naturally knew what Ning Rujian meant regarding that question.
The two looked at each other and heard Guo Wenwang say, "Brother Yuanwu, let's go together, let him choose when the time comes. What do you think?"
"Okay." Zheng Yuanwu had no comments.
Therefore, the Zheng Family and Guo Family were in front and entered together.
Liu Wuxian, the head of the Liu Family, and Jiang Hao, the head of the Jiang Family, hesitated for a while, and each sent two or three people to follow in. Only Ning Rujian stood there, motionless, and didn't mean to send someone to follow in.
At the beginning, everything was normal as if everyone from the Zheng Family, the Guo Family, and the Liu Family, and the Jiang Family just walked in ordinarily.
However, before long, a bloody light flickered, and all the layouts in the yard disappeared. The flowers, plants, pavilions, stone tables and chairs, and houses were all invisible, except for the boundless bloody color.
Those who were in it felt more profound.
The whole world only had a bloody mist, it was as if they had come to the legendary Hell.
The air was filled with bloodthirsty and violent breath, which made people shiver subconsciously.
It was said just now that there were three people in the yard, but now let alone three people, not even a ghost's shadow could be seen.
Until then, everyone realized that something was wrong.
"It's not good, it's a trap"
"This is... Killing Array?"
"That Mo Xiu can not only refine pills but also make arrays?"
"What do we do now? How do we leave?"
"Who can crack the killing array?"
...
Everyone in the bloody mist became uneasy, suddenly knowing that they had fallen into someone else's trap, and it was inevitable to panic.
Zheng Yuanwu and Guo Wenwang seemed calmer, but they soon discovered something more wrong.
Only two or three people from the Liu Family and Jiang Family came in, and none of the Ning Family came in. Was this a coincidence?
"We were calculated!"
The faces of the two were even uglier.
At this moment, they heard an exclamation out of nowhere, "What is that?"
Everyone followed the voice, and followed the direction of the person's fingers to look towards the sky, only to see a huge figure, like an ancient demon god.
Although it was a figure, it was covered in blood as if it had just walked out of a sea of blood, the people here could not see its face when they looked up. In other words, there was no face at all, only a brutal and violent breath could be felt.
"Roar…"
After a low roar, the figure swooped down without giving out a warning, swallowing everyone including Zheng Yuanwu, the head of the Zheng Family, and Guo Wenwang, the head of the Guo Family, in a burst of exclamation.
No one resisted from the beginning to the end, and there was no chance of resisting. After all, this was the Blood Demon Killing Array that Mo Xiu personally laid.
The figure that swallowed everyone was naturally not Mo Xiu himself, but the spirit of the Blood Demon Killing Array – Shapeless Blood Demon.
A complete Blood Demon Killing Array could have four Shapeless Blood Demons, but unfortunately, the Shapeless Blood Demon needed to borrow the body of a strong expert to appear.
The corpse of a strong expert was not so easy to find. Mo Xiu could only use the corpses of those people killed with the Soul Devouring Knife last night to barely manifest a Shapeless Blood Demon.
After swallowing the people in the bloody mist, the figure of the Shapeless Blood Demon became a bit taller, and the bloody mist that filled the space between heaven and earth became denser.
After a while, the Shapeless Blood Demon suddenly disappeared, and all the scenes in the courtyard were restored, but Zheng Yuanwu, Guo Wenwang, and others were no longer visible.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, everyone was stunned to see the scene that had recovered in the courtyard.
"What about people?"
"Why are they all gone?"
"Are they dead?"
"Impossible! This is less than half an hour, how can they die so quickly?"
"Even if they are all dead, their corpses should still be there, right?"
...
For a time, everyone talked.
If they wanted to know the truth, the easiest way was to enter the house to check it out, but the terrifying scene just happened. Where else would anyone dare to step into the yard at this moment?
Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao, the three of them looked at each other, and they also saw a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Everyone was still not sure, but the three of them felt that everybody who entered the yard was dead, and it was the kind of death that couldn't even leave the body.
Their three major families had sent people to find Mo Xiu before and wanted to control Mo Xiu, but those people couldn't leave the forest for a lifetime.
The reason why they had to join forces with the other two families to pressure the Mo Family and force the Mo Family to surrender Mo Xiu was not really thinking that they could catch Mo Xiu but wanted to drag the Zheng Family and Guo Family together.
Anyway, Mo Xiu had already been offended, and even if he was offended again, it was okay. The key was that the three major families had suffered such a big loss. They couldn't let the Zheng Family and Guo Family stay out of the matter, otherwise, Sun Martial City would become the Zheng Family and Guo Family's turf alone.
In other words, the so-called joint pressure was actually to consume the power of the Zheng Family and the Guo Family.
If it weren't for Liu Wuxian and Jiang Hao who couldn't bear it, they would send two or three people to follow up in the end. The two big families could even be the same as the Ning Family without any loss.
Only the Zheng Family and the Guo Family were really kept in the dark, so the Zheng Family and the Guo Family suffered heavy losses, even the heads of the two major families were damaged in it.
The Zheng Family and the Guo Family would suffer. This was not surprising, it was better to say that all this was expected by the three of Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao.
What really surprised them was that within a quarter of an hour before and after, they didn't even see Mo Xiu's face. The Zheng Family and the Guo Family were cleaned up so easily, which was too fast.
Did this mean that even if the rest of them all followed in, they would be easily cleaned up too?
Or in other words, Mo Xiu could actually sweep their five great families by himself. But the reason why he hadn't done anything was that he didn't put their five great families in his eyes, and the other was because he didn't have time to clean them up temporarily?
Regardless of those reasons, Mo Xiu was no longer someone they could deal with.
Just the tip of the iceberg revealed just now had already made everyone feel trembling. If they really wanted Mo Xiu to show all the fangs in front of them, the three major families were afraid that they would be wiped out from the surface of this word.
