465 Blackmailing Dafang Sec (1/2)
Mo Wen did not know that during the period that he had left the Hua Xia Country, a rather big incident had caused ripples throughout the country. The granddaughter of an assistant to one of the higher-ups of the Jing Hua Military Region had disappeared.
This piece of news had made it into mainstream media and soon dominated the headlines of every online forum. A generous reward had been offered and a great manhunt had been rolled out, covering every corner of the Hua Xia Country.
However, no one had managed to locate the girl, even after they had combed the entire area. Her disappearance was a mystery, as she had left no trace behind.
After their trip to Fuji Mountain ended, Mo Wen and Shen Jing returned to Hua Xia University. Shen Jing had only taken half a month's leave, and by that time, her break was almost up. Upon her return, Shen Jing became immediately immersed in her work once again.
Meanwhile, Mo Wen had set aside a huge amount of time to accompany Qin Xiaoyou. During that time, he had not gone looking for Shen Jing. Likewise, Shen Jing, being perceptive, did not go looking for Mo Wen either. It was as though she had completely pushed Mo Wen to the back of her mind.
Qin Xiaoyou stuck close to Mo Wen, as though it was the natural thing to do. She even skipped many of the non-core lessons in order to remain at home to read or train.
Lin Qing had relied purely on an iron fist control and her amazing management capabilities in order to take control of the Blue Ocean Group within half a month. She had even ironed out all of the problems in the large company.
The following days were very peaceful. The only hiccup that occurred was after Jiang Siyin and Yang Ting had returned home.
At that time, they finally found out that the Blue Ocean Group was no longer the same Blue Ocean Group from before. In fact, the Square Consortium had been very direct in refusing to collaborate with the Yang Group. They had even planned to withdraw all of their investments from the Yang Group!
Of course, the Blue Ocean Group had also begun to target the Jiang Group that was behind Jiang Siyin. As a result of all of this, the two clans had endless complaints.
In order to rid themselves of the current crisis, the two clans all decided to punish both Jiang Siyin and Yang Ting severely. After that was handled, they planned to ask Mo Wen for forgiveness. However, they did not manage to get an audience with Mo Wen, as naturally, Mo Wen would not concern himself with such an issue.
Sadly, these peaceful days did not last long. Mo Wen received a letter from the Dafang Sect that had been written by Wang Yinru. In the letter, she mentioned that the ancient martial art practitioners from the series of the three big mountain ranges were facing a serious issue, and that she hoped that he would be able to make a trip back to the Dafang Sect immediately.
”Someone is blackmailing all of the ancient martial arts influencers of the series of the three big mountain ranges!” Mo Wen looked at the letter and was astonished that someone would actually do such a thing!
After all, the ancient martial arts influencers in the series of the three big mountain ranges were not weak. Also, they had quite a number of ancient martial arts practitioners that had already reached the Embryonic Breathing realm.
In fact, there seemed to be an old lady from the Yanxia Sect, who was already at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm! Just who is so arrogant as to dare to blackmail every single one of the ancient martial art influencers in the series of the three big mountain ranges?
In the letter, it also said that a group of ancient martial arts practitioners of unknown origins had appeared in the series of the three big mountain ranges. Initially, their aim was not to target the ancient martial arts influencers of the series of the three big mountain ranges.
Instead, their aim had been related to the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. Specifically, it seemed like they were scheming to steal something from the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan.
In the end, the specific reason for this was not known, but that group of people soon set their sights on the other ancient martial arts influencers. They used blackmail to force all of the ancient martial art sects in the series of the three big mountain ranges to hand over a large amount of their training resources.
Naturally, the ancient martial arts influencers would not comply with their demands. So, they gathered all of the ancient martial arts practitioners from the three big mountain ranges and had a big showdown.
Yet, it all ended tragically. They were defeated. Even Granny Hong Yan, who was at the the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm, sustained serious injuries.
”Those people really have guts. Are they not afraid of being condemned by the Huatian Palace?” As Mo Wen lifted his hand, the letter that he was holding immediately erupted into golden flames, then burned into ashes.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Although the Huatian Palace usually did not bother to get involved with any of the bad blood that was currently going on, such an outrageous blackmail scheme from all fronts just might make them feel obligated to step in. Of course, Mo Wen would not be too hopeful about this intervention from the Huatian Palace.
If things became too big to handle, the Huatian Palace would probably step in. However, until things escalated to that point, the Huatian Palace would definitely stay out of it. Hence, whether the series of the three big mountain ranges would catch the attention of the Huatian Palace was still unknown.
That night, Mo Wen left the capital and rushed over to the Dafang Sect. He would not have cared if only others had been victimized. However, now that the issue concerned him, he wanted to see which daredevil was behind all of this!
At that time, it was already late autumn, so the temperature had become cold and the whole Yandang Mountain looked bleak. Even the animals that were normally very lively did not really appear.
A figure flashed through the sky above the forest. It looked like a huge Peng Bird and was flying towards the depths of the mountain.
...
The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was located at the intersection between the Yandang Mountain and Kuochang Mountain. At the moment, the Hu Clan Manor House was filled with tension.
Even the subordinates who were guarding the house were uneasy. It was so tense, even a single autumn leaf could be heard falling onto the ground.
”Grandfather, are you alright?” In the main hall, Hu Qiongqi was looking at his grandfather, Hu Tianfeng. His eyes were filled with worry.
”I'm still alive for now,” Hu Tianfeng said as his expression darkened. His face was as pale as a ghost, and he looked as though he had sustained rather serious injuries.
”Father, Third Uncle has already fallen into the hands of that group of people, and I'm afraid…” Hu Guiyuan's face was slightly pale and his breathing was labored. It seemed like he had sustained rather serious injuries as well.
