Chapter 20: Fleeing in Embarrassment

With a "crunch", one of the rooms in the courtyard was opened, and Mo Xiu slowly walked out and came to everyone.

After he looked around, his gaze fell on Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao, and said indifferently, "You're here to catch me?"

"Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, we are here to visit Young Master Mo Xiu."

"Yes, yes, we didn't know Mount Tai before, and offended Young Master Mo Xiu, now we come here to apologize."

"Though a small gift is not enough, please take it, Young Master Mo Xiu."

Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao were all taken aback and took out the gifts they had prepared and offered Mo Xiu with both hands.

Mo Xiu was not polite. He raised his hand and took away the gifts of the three of them. Then he said, "Go away, don't step into Mo's house anymore. Otherwise, I don't mind letting your great families from Sun Martial City be delisted."

"Yes, yes, we'll just get out now."

The three of them talked in a whisper and quickly fled with the Core Formation cultivators of their respective families.

Seeing this scene, Mo Hong, who was responsible for leading the way for the five great families just now, was dumbfounded, unable to even speak for a while.

'What about killing people?'

'You were so aggressive just now, but why are you all looking so awkward at this time?'

Before that, he was still very happy, thinking that there were people from the five great families to deal with Mo Xiu, and Mo Xiu had only one dead end. This way, he would lose a big hidden danger, and then he could use all his energy to deal with the fight for the lordship of the Mo Family.

Only now did he realize that the people of the five great families could not help him deal with Mo Xiu at all, but were as good as obedient grandsons in front of Mo Xiu. This made him wonder if all these people had been possessed by some strange aliens.

More importantly, Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao still presented gifts to Mo Xiu, which were also obviously prepared in advance.

Why prepare gifts in advance?

Because they didn't think about defeating Mo Xiu from the beginning, they just pretended to be extremely strong from the beginning. The real intention was not to deal with Mo Xiu, but to come and apologize to Mo Xiu.

No, not only to apologize to Mo Xiu but also to cheat the Zheng Family and the Guo Family.

Of course, they believed that an apology was only a preliminary plan. If the Zheng Family and the Guo Family could draw with Mo Xiu, the Ning Family, the Liu Family, and the Jiang Family would definitely give up the plan of apologizing and presenting gifts, as they would rush forward and jointly destroy Mo Xiu instead.

It happened that the Zheng Family and the Guo Family couldn't make it through for half an hour, so that Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao were determined to apologize to Mo Xiu.

In short, he understood that the members of the three major families, including the Mo Family, the Zheng Family, and the Guo Family, were all played by Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao, and even the bystander Qin Huaili was not spared.

The people of the five great families had not been able to get rid of Mo Xiu this time, and it would certainly be impossible to get rid of Mo Xiu in the future, and his Mo Hong's strength was not as good as one-tenth of the five great families, so it was even more impossible to eradicate Mo Xiu.

Thinking of the scenes that happened just now, Mo Hong couldn't help shaking all over.

Mo Xiu's methods were too strong and terrifying, such people shouldn't appear in their Mo Family.

He even couldn't help but wonder, "Is it really good to be an enemy of such a person?"

Although he did not intend to continue to kill Mo Xiu for the time being, and even told Mo Wuxian to avoid Mo Ruyi and Mo Xiu and take a detour as far as possible, but he had already forged his hatred after all. And this kind of hatred would not disappear easily, maybe Mo Xiu would come to clean him up sooner or later.

Moreover, if he wanted to become the Patriarch of the Mo Family, he must also get rid of Mo Xiu, otherwise, his name as the Patriarch of the Mo Family would not be righteous, and something would happen sooner or later.

After thinking for a while, he murmured to himself, "It seems that the fight for the position of Patriarch should be put aside for the time being, and to discuss with Mo Miao as that boy Mo Xiu should be eliminated first."

...

The Ning Family, the Liu Family, and the Jiang Family, the three major families stepped out of the gate of the Mo's mansion.

But the other two big families' people were nowhere to be seen, so the people waiting outside were stunned.

"Patriarch Ning, Patriarch Liu, Patriarch Jiang, are you...?" Someone couldn't help but asked.

Ning Rujian sighed, "That Mo Xiu is too strong. Both the Zheng Family and the Guo Family have been wiped out, and we couldn't even touch a single hair of Mo Xiu."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

The Zheng Family and Guo Family's members guarding outside were so shocked that some people rushed to Ning Rujian. Regardless of Ning Rujian's identity, they grabbed Ning Rujian's shoulder and said in disbelief, "Patriarch Ning, what did you just say? Say it again!"

"It's a pity that both Patriarch Zheng and Patriarch Guo are dead, and I didn't expect that Mo Xiu is so strong." Ning Rujian sighed, looking a little sad.

Hearing this, everyone was immediately in an uproar.

Many people from the Zheng Family and Guo Family rushed into the Mo's mansion immediately, seemingly wanting to seek revenge from Mo Xiu.

"I advise you not to act rashly!" Ning Rujian turned around and said to those people, "We have so many Core Formation experts but can't be his opponents. So you people are only going to die. I think Patriarch Zheng and Patriarch Guo would not want to see your death."

Those people from the Zheng Family and Guo Family who rushed into the Mo's mansion paused, were silent for a while, and gradually calmed down.

Some people walked back silently, while others said, "I would collect the corpses for the owner of the house."

"It's not necessary to collect the corpses. That guy didn't even leave the corpses when they died. If you go there, it will be a trip for nothing." Ning Rujian said again.

"Didn't even leave the bodies?" Everyone was surprised.

Ning Rujian had already said almost everything, so he waved his hand, "We are going back, so please take care of yourself."

After speaking, he took his people and left quickly.

"Patriarch Zheng and Patriarch Guo are dead, I advise you to go back and find a way to stabilize the situation within the family, so as not to fight for power and profit like the Mo Family, and go decline." Liu Wuxian left a sentence and took the Liu Family's members to leave with him.

Jiang Hao didn't say anything. He just sighed, and also took away the Jiang Family's members.

The Core Formation cultivators of the Zheng Family and Guo Family were basically dead this time, and the remaining people were not opponents even if they wanted to attack the Mo Family together, so after a while of silence, they had to leave one after another.

A crisis was resolved, Mo Miao stood at the gate of Mo's mansion, but joy couldn't be seen on his face, his expression was somewhat solemn.

He looked at the direction where everyone was leaving, and muttered to himself, "It's a good thing to be strong, but you are too strong, too strong to the point that makes people scared!"

...

In a secret room in the Mo's mansion.

Mo Hong and Mo Miao met in secret without telling the crowd.

"After the death of the eldest brother, we were struggling to fight for the position of Patriarch. You were not reconciled, I can understand, so I was willing to fight with you. But now, our Mo Family has a monster that has seriously threatened our interests..."

Mo Hong sighed, "I hope that the fight between us would be put aside for the time being, and we can join hands to deal with Mo Xiu first, and after we get rid of him, we will come to a decisive victory."

As he said, he stretched out his hand to take out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Mo Miao, "You should have heard of Peerless Autumn Dew before. Even a powerful cultivator will die with just a drop. I have half a bottle of Peerless Autumn Dew here. As long as you give this thing to Mo Xiu, how can Mo Xiu live?"

Peerless Autumn Dew had a nice name, like a kind of wine, but it was actually a kind of colorless and odorless poison, and it was the kind that had no antidote and could not be forced out with the True Essence Power.

Just like Mo Hong said, even a powerful cultivator could be poisoned with just one drop.

If taken more than half a spoon, a Core Formation cultivator would die. But it was not impossible to die on the spot if one took more than half a bottle at once.

In addition, adding this thing to food or soup would not affect the taste. It would not smell and would not be noticed. Even with silver needles, it could not be detected. For most people, it was impossible to prevent.

Now Ru Hua was taking care of the daily life of Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi, and Mo Miao was the one who placed Ru Hua in.

What Mo Hong meant was to let Ru Hua add Peerless Autumn Dew to Mo Xiu's meals so that Mo Xiu would be poisoned, and then he would take the opportunity to get rid of Mo Xiu.

Mo Miao didn't expect that there was Peerless Autumn Dew on Mo Hong, so he couldn't help asking, "Where did you get this thing?"

"You don't need to worry about it. I only have half a bottle left on my side. We only have one chance." Mo Hong avoided answering.

Mo Miao stared at the jade bottle containing Peerless Autumn Dew for a long time, and shook his head slightly, "It should be you who is eager to deal with Xiu, and I have no reason to kill him."

"Third brother, you are stubborn."

Mo Hong hurriedly persuaded, "Whether the person who becomes the head of the Mo Family is me or you, we must eventually get rid of him. Otherwise, something big will happen sooner or later. Now, his foundation is not very high, his cultivation is not very high, and he has not paid attention to us too. For us, there is still a chance to get rid of him. If we want to get rid of him after we decide the winner, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

"If Mo Xiu is here, the other five great families in Sun Martial City would still be a little jealous and afraid of our Mo Family. If Mo Xiu is poisoned by us, I'm afraid the five great families would come back immediately, right?" Mo Miao doubted.

"After we get rid of him, we can keep it private for the time being, so that the five great families think that he is still there, and they dare not treat our Mo Family lightly. In this way, when the fight for the position of Patriarch is determined, we can go to Yan Capital. Then we all can express our surrender to Yan Wuji and ask Yan Wuji for forgiveness. After that, we can slowly develop and lead the Mo Family to rise again."

Mo Hong continued to persuade, "If we get rid of Mo Xiu, there would only be benefits and no harm to you, me or the Mo Family. Or, third brother, do you have any concerns? If you have any requirements, just ask, as long as it is not excessive, I can promise you."

Mo Miao seemed to be waiting for this sentence. Hearing that, he glanced at Mo Hong and said, "I want our Mo Family's inheritance technique 'Purple Jade Spirit Sutra'."

Mo Hong was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "That's fine."
