Chapter 41: Being Seen Through

In Song Qian's plan, even if Mo Xiu's relationship with Qin Huaili was not much better, after all, he once helped Qin Huaili refine the Storm Pill, so if he were to hear that the Qin Family was destroyed, and he would definitely feel guilty.

As long as Mo Xiu felt guilty, he could take advantage of it.

But Mo Xiu didn't feel guilty at all, and he didn't care about the life and death of Qin Huaili and others. This really exceeded his expectations – how could this guy be so ruthless?

Frozen for a moment, he pretended not to hear what Mo Xiu said, and then continued, "If you want to save them, bring Yan Ran and kill her, and then you abolish your cultivation base and go with us."

"Do you think it is possible?" Mo Xiu looked at Song Qian with a foolish look.

Song Qian didn't care about it and stopped discussing terms with Mo Xiu. Instead, he looked at the Sun Martial City warriors behind Mo Xiu and said aloud, "Everyone, I know you are also forced to be helpless. So I don't care about things just now. From now on, the grievance is only between me and the Mo Family. You shouldn't take part in this and go back by yourself, what do you think?"

The warriors in Sun Martial City looked at each other without comment.

Song Qian's face sank, "What? This seat represents His Majesty the Emperor and represents the entire Yan Kingdom. Do you really want to rebel with the Mo Family and become an enemy of the entire Yan Kingdom?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone trembled. Although they didn't turn around and leave directly, there was a hint of wanting to withdraw in their eyes.

Song Qian was right. They were forced to stand on the side of the Mo Family and slaughter Song Qian's tens of thousands of troops with the Mo Family.

However, no matter what they were, they were just ordinary warriors. They really didn't have the guts to be the enemy of Yan Wuji, and the entire Yan Kingdom.

Now that Song Qian said that he could ignore what happened from earlier, it was indeed the best choice for them to disperse and stop participating in this matter.

Seeing everyone's heart shake, Mo Ruyi hurriedly shouted, "That's just a mouthful of lies!"

As she said, she looked at the people behind her, "Don't listen to him, everyone. Song Qian is the most cunning and capricious person. How can he really not care about what happened just now? Besides, his nickname – Butcher Song is well known to everyone. If he has an opportunity, where is there any reason not to retaliate?"

After explaining the principle, her tone became colder again, "Moreover, you are afraid of Yan Wuji, but aren't you afraid of our Mo Family? Don't forget that our Mo Family has the final say in this Sun Martial City, not Yan Wuji!"

No matter how much truth was said, it was not as effective as a threatening sentence.

These people in Sun Martial City were not afraid of the Mo Family, but Mo Xiu. As long as Mo Xiu was in Sun Martial City, they really could only stand aside with Mo Xiu obediently.

As a result, the minds of everyone that had just shaken became firm again at this moment.

Song Qian glanced at Mo Ruyi and gritted his teeth secretly.

Since he couldn't disintegrate the formation of the parties in Sun Martial City, he could only find another way.

His eyes rolled quickly, and soon he shouted again, "Where is Qin Wuyang?"

Qin Wuyang did follow, but she was watching from a distance from behind.

After hearing Song Qian's words, she quickly squeezed into the crowd and came to Mo Xiu's side.

Seeing Qin Wuyang appearing, Song Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "Qin Wuyang, can you bear to watch your Qin Family die under my butcher knife?"

A trace of panic flashed in Qin Wuyang's eyes. She was struggling secretly, but soon, she chose to kneel down towards Mo Xiu, and begged, "Young Master Xiu, please save my father and my family, I... I will kowtow to you!"

With this, she repeatedly kowtowed towards Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu was indifferent as if he hadn't heard Qin Wuyang's pleading.

Qin Wuyang banged her head a few times but saw that Mo Xiu didn't mean to pay any attention. She came to Mo Ruyi again in a hurry and continued begging, "Patriarch Ruyi, please save my father and them. I am willing to be a slave to repay you... No, our Qin Family is willing to become a vassal of the Mo Family from now on, and will never betray!"

Mo Ruyi looked at Qin Wuyang and the kidnapped Qin Huaili and others. Thinking of the adoptive father Mo Zhuo who had been buried in Yan Capital, she still couldn't bear it, so she looked at Mo Xiu and said, "Mo Xiu, can you think of a way?"

Mo Xiu was silent for a moment, then he looked at Song Qian and the others, and said leisurely, "Change the conditions."

"What if I don't agree?" Song Qian sneered.

"You don't agree? Then go to death!"

Mo Xiu didn't make a move. Once he made a move, it was like a thunderstorm. The terrifying pressure swept out, crushing everyone breathless, and soon countless Soul Devouring Knives were smashed out.

The Soul Devouring Knives were invisible and shapeless; ordinary people couldn't see it. However, when one of the Soul Devouring Knives was about to pierce Song Qian's body, an invisible force fell on Song Qian and directly drove Song Qian away from his original position.

"Boom, boom..."

Song Qian's guards, especially those who put swords on the necks of the main members of the Qin Family, fell to the ground.

Song Qian who had just been blasted into flight escaped and successfully saved his own life.

The sudden change made everyone stunned.

Mo Ruyi was the first to react, and quickly yelled, "Kill!"

After speaking, she rushed out and ran to rescue those people from the Qin Family.

The members of the Mo Family hurriedly followed, fighting with Song Qian's men.

The warriors in Sun Martial City hesitated for a while, but after all, they chose to follow the Mo Family to the dark, so they quickly rushed up and joined the battle.

Song Qian was the one who reacted the latest. He finally stood firm. Seeing the scene became chaotic, he felt a little dumbfounded, "How... how could this be?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, a hand was put on his shoulder, grabbed him, and jumped onto the courtyard wall.

It was the mysterious man with a ghost mask who shot. Evidently, it was the ghost-masked man who made a move on Song Qian just now, otherwise, Song Qian would have died.

Mo Xiu had noticed this ghost-masked man a long time ago, and he also knew that this ghost-masked man was not easy. The reason why he didn't directly take action at first, but let Song Qian talk with him, was mainly to observe this mysterious guy.

Now, seeing this ghost-masked man about to take Song Qian away, he naturally wouldn't stay still at all.

Countless Soul Devouring Knives were swept out again, and this time, the target was only the ghost-masked man, and even Song Qian was no longer the target of the Soul Devouring Knives.

However, before the Soul Devouring Knives approached the ghost-masked man, the figure of the ghost-masked man timely moved on the courtyard wall as he easily avoided the Soul Devouring Knives' attack.

Soon, he said, "Mo Xiu, I finally know why Wan Yixuan died in your hands. It turns out that you actually mastered this kind of magical killing method."

As he said, he sneered, "Killing with Spiritual Consciousness is invisible and shapeless. It is indeed indefensible, but unfortunately, this method is useless to me. You can kill Wan Yixuan, but you can't kill me."

Mo Xiu was not surprised. After all, it was the ghost-masked man who took Song Qian away, so that Song Qian avoided dying under the Soul Devouring Knives. In this case, it was not surprising that the ghost-masked man could perceive his Soul Devouring Knives. But this guy was still wrong about one point, what he had in him was not Spiritual Consciousness, but Divine Consciousness. The difference between these two was like the height of heaven and earth.

The reason why he used the Soul Devouring Knives this time was not intending to kill the ghost-masked with the Soul Devouring Knives, but for another purpose, but the ghost-masked man didn't seem to be aware of his true intentions.

The ghost-masked man seemed to want to see a look of surprise on Mo Xiu's face, but it was a pity that Mo Xiu was destined to disappoint him. That calm and flat appearance from the beginning to the end also made him a little annoyed.

After finally calming down, he said again, "Mo Xiu, this time, you are considered to have won, but don't be proud, I will come back to kill you soon, so please wait for death!"

After speaking, his figure jumped, leading Song Qian to disappear from the courtyard wall.

Mo Xiu did not chase. He had seen through the cultivation realm of the ghost-masked man. Like Wan Yixuan, one of the four masters of the Yan Kingdom, he was in the early stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm, and this person had been in this realm for a longer time. Not surprisingly, he should also be one of the four masters of the Yan Kingdom.

The Soul Devouring Knives were not useful. In this case, it was useless for him to chase after him. It was better to let the opponent leave first. Anyway, he had already done tricks on Song Qian and that guy, so they couldn't escape from his palm.

Those who remained in the yard were the originally defeated soldiers under Song Qian. Now that Song Qian was taken away by the ghost-masked men, these defeated soldiers without a leader were even more vulnerable.

In just a moment, the battle was over and Mo Ruyi and others won without a doubt.

Leaving everyone to clean the battlefield, Mo Ruyi came to Mo Xiu and asked, "Did those two escape?"

"For the time being," Mo Xiu replied casually.

"For the time being?" Mo Ruyi frowned slightly.

Mo Xiu did not explain.

At this time, Qin Huaili brought Qin Wuyang and the main members of the Qin Family to Mo Xiu's side.

"Young Master Xiu, thank you for helping me just now."

Qin Huaili thanked him, "What my little girl said still counts. Our Qin Family is willing to become a vassal of the Mo Family. From now on, only the Mo Family's orders will be the imperial decree to us."

"En, you can discuss these by yourself, I'll go back." Mo Xiu said, turning around and leaving.

In the beginning, the Qin Family was regarded as a first-class Family in Fu City. Its strength was only stronger and not weaker than that of the Mo Family. However, in today's Qin Family, almost all forces had been removed by Song Qian, and only a few main members remained.

But it still had to be noted that not to mention the Qin Family today, even if it was the Qin Family in the past, Mo Xiu still didn't take it seriously.

If Mo Ruyi hadn't spoken, he wouldn't even save anyone from the Qin Family, so he didn't care if the Qin Family was willing to become a vassal of the Mo Family or not.

He cared more about Song Qian and the ghost-masked man. The ghost-masked man would not let him go. He said he will come back to kill him, so naturally, he would not spare this ghost-masked man. But before that, he must improve his cultivation base first, otherwise, with his current cultivation, he really could not do much to the other party.
