372 Huo Clan (1/2)
In the ancient martial arts world, there were always grudges in the Jianghu. Although fighting and killing were normal, among such young, inexperienced youths, there rarely was this type of person that killed so decisively.
”The members of the Qin Clan are too cowardly…”
When some people saw that the few youths from the Qin Clan had no strength of character, they secretly sighed one by one. The Qin Clan was such a large and rich clan, producing strong members every generation. Even an absolute strong practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm had appeared. However, among their youth, there were no outstanding figures. They bullied the weak but feared the strong. Before this, they seemed imposing, but now they looked pathetic.
”The few members of the Qin Clan seem to recognize the youth. That's why they fear him so greatly. I wonder where this youth is from.”
”It is indeed a bit strange. No matter how useless the members of the Qin Clan are, they should not stoop so low. They have practically completely disgraced their clan.”
”I wonder where this youth is from. I have never heard of him. He probably isn't an ancient martial art practitioner from around the Capital. Otherwise, he should be famous in the Capital.”
”Indeed. The youth's cultivation is at least in the Qi Nucleation realm, even possibly having reached the intermediate stage of the Qi Nucleation realm. Placed in the Capital Martial Arts Symposium, he would most likely be second to none. Even that Bi Clan's Bi Fengdi cannot compare to him. If he was an ancient martial art practitioner from around the Capital, it would be impossible for him to be unknown.”
”Not necessarily. The area around the Capital isn't small. Aside from our ancient martial arts aristocratic families, there are also ancient martial art sects that are hidden deep within the mountains. They almost never come out. No one knows exactly how strong they are. Long ago, I heard great grandfather say that the area around the Capital had a hidden martial arts strain. Maybe that is where this youth is from.”
…
”Little girl Xiaofei, are you done venting? Later, you should lead me to find Xiaoyou.” Mo Wen smiled as he glanced at Wang Xiaofei. Just now he had intervened and should have preserved some of Wang Xiaofei's honor. After all, no matter how he put it, Wang Xiaofei was still Qin Xiaoyou's friend. He couldn't just let her be bullied.
”You… what is there to vent… you better run for your life…” Wang Xiaofei recovered her senses, grabbing onto Mo Wen and preparing to run. Later, once the Meng Clan and the Qin Clan caught wind of this, they wouldn't be able to run even if they wanted to. Mo Wen had killed Meng Guo. The Meng Clan would absolutely not let him go free.
”Why do I need to run?” Mo Wen pulled Wang Xiaofei back and said, ”You don't need to worry. You have only one mission. Later, bring me to Xiaoyou.”
”You…” Wang Xiaofei really wanted to crack open that skull of Mo Wen's to take a look and see whether water had entered his brain. He actually still thought about finding Xiaoyou at this moment. Could it be that he did not know how much trouble he had gotten himself in?
”Right, you follow me. I'll take you to find Xiaoyou. Maybe we can come up with a plan.” Wang Xiaofei changed her mind. The probability of asking Mo Wen to escape now was not high. After all, this was the Bi Clan Manor. As the host, the Bi Clan could not possibly let a murderer like Mo Wen escape, so the probability of them successfully escaping was not high.
However, if they did not escape and instead headed to the Huo Clan house to find Qin Xiaoyou, maybe they could seek aid from the Huo Clan. Then, combined with the Wang Clan, the two families could possibly keep Mo Wen safe.
With that thought in mind, Wang Xiaofei dragged Mo Wen and prepared to run. Continuing to stay where they were was not wise. They had to quickly find Qin Xiaoyou.
”What's the rush?” Wang Xiaofei had barely taken two steps when she was once again pulled back by Mo Wen.
”You…” Wang Xiaofei really wanted to stomp Mo Wen on the ground and let him die there.
Mo Wen did not bother with Wang Xiaofei. He walked up to the Qin Clan youth, and calmly said, ”Rumor has it, that your Qin Clan relic has broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm?”
From the conversation of the crowd before this, Mo Wen had more or less heard that. The Qin Clan great grandfather had not died after being severely injured, but instead had a breakthrough in his cultivation. A dying person still had the potential to break through to the Embryonic Breathing realm. This incident was a bit strange!
”Yes, the elder has broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm.”
Upon hearing this, the Qin Clan youth who was the leader stopped his action. Thinking about the elder made his panicking expression calm down quite a bit. The elder breaking through to the Embryonic Breathing realm and becoming an absolute strong practitioner was the pride of the clan. With a strong practitioner in the clan, it was impossible for Mo Wen to not have some reservations.
Before, he was afraid that Mo Wen did not know that the elder had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm at all and would kill them all unreservedly. After all, with Mo Wen's habit of frequently killing people, he would not give them an opportunity to say much. Now that Mo Wen actually knew, he would certainly have some fear and would not simply kill him.
”I won't kill you. Go back and tell that old relic of the clan that you can survive disasters sent from heaven, but you won't survive your sins. Mo Wen will surely pay your Qin Clan a visit.” Mo Wen nodded. A look of clarity flashed in his eyes. He did not say anything else, dragging Wang Xiaofei and leaving the place. None of the surrounding people dared to block their path. One by one, they actively opened a path for them.
The Qin Clan elder could break through to the Embryonic Breathing realm. Mo Wen somewhat understood that, under normal circumstances, it was impossible. For sure, he had borrowed the power of the heretic forces in order to break through to the next realm.
