284 Wang Clan’s Murder Case (2/2)
Recalling the past, Wang Yinru's face had become frighteningly dark.
”Do you know who did it?” Mo Wen asked.
”Of course I do. It was the Jiang Clan, who is also one of the five great families of the Dafang Sect. In reality, the Dafang Sect is currently in the hands of the Jiang Clan. The other three families are merely for display. If everything goes as planned, this year's sect leader selection will also be won by a person from the Jiang Clan.”
With regards to the situation with the Dafang Sect, Wang Yinru was naturally very clear about it. After that night, not only had the Wang Clan been murdered, the other three great families had also lost their power in the sect, even though they had not been murdered.
He related it to what Wang Yinru had said before, and her asking him to pose as her son allowed Mo Wen to instantly guess her intentions. ”You mean that you hope for me to represent your Wang Clan to go for the sect leader selection and take over the position?” Mo Wen rolled his eyes. How could the two of them affect an entire sect of people?
Only people in the five great families had the right to participate in that so-called sect leader selection. Although the Wang Clan had been wiped out many years before, and there were not many survivors, as long as Wang Yinru was still alive, the Wang Clan could continue to exist. However, just the two of them going against an entire sect made the possibility of winning close to zero.
Wang Yinru nodded and said, ”That's right, as long as you can achieve the position of leader of the Dafang Sect, you will be the rightful sect leader.”
”Don't you think the possibility of it happening is too low?” Mo Wen looked at Wang Yinru incredulously. This woman was thinking too simply. If things were so easy, their Wang Clan would not have been murdered back then. Even with one of them as the sect leader, they had still been massacred. What use was it even if he were able to get the position as the sect leader?
Wang Yinru clenched her fist tightly. ”Even if there is only a slim chance, I will not give up.” In the murder that had wiped out her clan, countless loved ones had died. How would she be able to forget the haunting hatred? She even wanted to take revenge in her dreams.
Mo Wen did not hold back in dousing Wang Yinru's hopes. ”To put it bluntly, you are just looking for death based on your abilities.” Within the Dafang Sect, there were definitely masters in the Embryonic Breathing realm taking the lead. It did not seem like there was just one, either. What waves could the two of them create? Wouldn't forging ahead foolishly just be digging their own graves?
Internally, he was amazed at how there was indeed so much enmity in the world of ancient martial arts. There were murder cases everywhere, and there were a bunch of people dying every day.
”If I'm digging my own grave, then so be it.” Wang Yinru glared at Mo Wen fiercely. ”Anyway, your ability is even better than that of ancient martial art practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm. By that time if things go awry, you can just run away directly. I believe nobody in the Dafang Sect would stop you.”
She could not give up no matter what. She had already waited 20 years, and she did not want to go on waiting. Moreover, it was not like she did not have any plans to ensure success. Naturally, she had her own reasons for choosing to strike during the sect leader selection.
”I don't like doing meaningless things.” Mo Wen rolled his eyes. If he did something that he did not have confidence in, wasn't it a waste of time?
She knew that she had to convince Mo Wen. Only then could this plan be executed. Wang Yinru inhaled deeply and looked at Mo Wen as she said, ”I can compensate you. How can the things that you do not have any meaning? Even if you cannot become the sect leader of the Dafang Sect, I can compensate you in other aspects. For example, in terms of Contribution Credits, I have more than enough. I can even tell you the method of cultivating the Cold Ice Domain. I believe you should know how valuable the Cold Ice Domain is.”
”Cold Ice Domain?” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. That had caught his attention. ”I can consider.”
He had witnessed the strength of the Cold Ice Domain for himself. It was comparable to an Absolute Rank martial arts technique. Moreover, with his Yin Qi, the execution of the Cold Ice Domain would definitely be enhanced.
”I can teach you the Cold Ice Domain. What else is there to consider? Do you really want me to sell myself to you before you will agree?” Wang Yinru glared at Mo Wen fiercely. This little b*stard was sneaky, indeed. From what it appeared, it seemed as though he did not think it was enough. He was really a little b*stard…
Upon hearing that, Mo Wen hurriedly waved his hands in denial and was desperately shaking his head. ”Don't be like that. I wouldn't want it even if you forced it onto me, and you still want to sell yourself to me…”
”You really want to anger me to death!” Wang Yinru's face was dark, and she just wanted to stuff Mo Wen's head into a toilet bowl for three days and three nights.
”How many ancient martial art practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm are there in the Dafang Sect?” Mo Wen suddenly had a solemn expression. As the saying went, if you understood yourself and your enemy, any battle could be won.
In reality, he was just trying to gauge the situation. Going ahead into the Dafang Sect was such a huge risk just for the Cold Ice Domain. It might not be worth it. If there were not many masters in the Dafang Sect, there was no harm in going in to make a few rounds. However, if there were too many masters, he was afraid that he would not agree to her proposition.
It was said that gentlemen would not stand by danger. He had always thought of himself as a gentleman, and if something was too risky, he would not be willing to do it.
”Three of them, but they are all just in the beginning stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm. They are not much threat to you.” Wang Yinru gave Mo Wen a side-glance. She could tell exactly what Mo Wen was thinking. How was he so unwilling to be taken advantage of even at such a young age?
