284 Wang Clan’s Murder Case (1/2)

It was no wonder that Mo Wen had not thought of it before, since he had always gone about things all alone. He had never been a sect leader before, so he hadn't previously thought about things from a broader perspective.

”Has your heart been moved?” Wang Yinru's lips curled up into a smile. She had been afraid that Mo Wen would not be moved and would not view the situation as anything important. Since he was moved, everything would be simple.

”I'm afraid it isn't that simple right?” Mo Wen was indeed moved. However, he would not completely lose all logic. The Dafang Sect did not even have any relation to him. Hence, how could they ask him to become the sect leader? Moreover, since the Dafang Sect was such a major sect, their powers had to be rather strong.

From what he knew, there were at least a few ancient martial art practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm taking the lead in the Dafang Sect, so why would they get an unknown lad to become the sect leader?

”Smart!” Wang Yinru snapped her fingers and did not hold back her praise for Mo Wen. Being the sect leader of the Dafang Sect was not an easy task, indeed.

Wang Yinru smiled and said, ”Whether or not you will be able to become the sect leader of the Dafang Sect still depends on your abilities. I can only provide you with the opportunity. However, with your abilities, it should not be too difficult. Don't worry, since I've already come looking for you, you definitely have a very high chance.”

Mo Wen's abilities were comparable to a master in the Embryonic Breathing realm's. Competing for the position of sect leader of the Dafang Sect would not pose much of a problem.

”Just based on my abilities?” Mo Wen looked at Wang Yinru oddly. The Dafang Sect had a few masters in the Embryonic Breathing realm. If they were only ancient martial art practitioners in the beginning of the Embryonic Breathing realm, he would still be able to go against them. However, if they were ancient martial art practitioners in the intermediate stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm, he would not be able to emerge victorious.

Wang Yinru rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. ”Of course, I've already told you that everything is possible with youthfulness. Why do you not have confidence in yourself?”

The Dafang Sect was a major sect and would not be won over so easily. Moreover, taking over someone else's sect should be done by someone of a reasonable status. Otherwise, what right did he have to become the sect leader? Mo Wen said calmly, ”You should really come clean. I won't be blindly fool around with you.”

”Are you really still afraid that I will sell you out? Alright, take a seat and listen to me carefully.” Wang Yinru pulled Mo Wen aside to take a seat. She waved her arm, and a wave of cold air rushed over them. On the snowy ground, there were suddenly two hassocks that were made of ice. Mo Wen and Wang Yinru then proceeded to sit down.

When talking about her story, Wang Yinru was not as relaxed as she had been before. Her tone had become more solemn and no wonder; this was concerning a secret about the Dafang Sect that had happened a long time ago.

Hundreds of years ago, a total of five ancestral masters created the Dafang Sect. Back then, the five of them were masters in the Embryonic Breathing realm. Their Cultivation was amazing, and even in the world of ancient martial art practitioners, they were very impressive.

Hence, the five of them developed the Dafang Sect into a major sect within a short period of time, and their powers became stronger and stronger.

Since there were five people who had created the Dafang Sect, there were also five aristocratic families within the sect. Each was made up of the descendants of each founding ancestral master. The people in the five families took up half of all the Dafang Sect's land. The sect leaders throughout history had always been chosen from within those five great families.

The sect leader of the Dafang Sect was different from other sect leaders. The position was always undertaken by a strong youth. As for the older generation of ancient martial art practitioners, they were focused on Cultivation and did not meddle with the miscellaneous affairs of the sect. Every generation sect leader of the Dafang Sect was younger than 50 years of age.

Hence, with every two decades that passed, the Dafang Sect would have a grand selection for the next sect leader. However, only outstanding candidates from the five great families had the right to participate in the selection. The most outstanding one out of the youths of the five great families would then become the new sect leader.

After taking over as sect leader, there would be a selection held every 20 years to select the new sect leader.

However, on a night 18 years ago, the Dafang Sect was faced with a mishap. A sect leader who had just taken over passed away in an accident. Moreover, out of the original five great families, they were suddenly short one and were only left with four. That was because one of the great families had completely disappeared from the face of the Earth.

The great family that had disappeared completely was the family of the sect leader who had died only months after becoming the sect leader.

”On that night 18 years ago, one of the great families of the Dafang Sect, the Wang Clan, died in an explosion. The clan included 187 people, and not a single one of them survived.”

Wang Yinru inhaled deeply, and a look of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Mo Wen looked at Wang Yinru. ”A power struggle?” In normal circumstances, when there were multiple powers within a single sect, there was a usually power struggle that would result in murder cases.

Wang Yinru was silent as she nodded. If it were not for the power struggle, her family would not have been killed off completely. Back then, the sect leader of the Dafang Sect was her older brother. It was a pity that her older brother had only been the sect leader for a few months before being murdered, followed by the entire Wang Clan being massacred.

”Back then, I wasn't in the sect, so fortunately, I escaped. However, the mastermind behind all that has not given up on hunting me down and killing me. Yet, my luck has been rather good. When I had nowhere else to run, I met a benefactor who brought me into Huatian Palace to become an Executor. That was how I managed to escape the mastermind.”
