Chapter II Mo Estate
The Mo Estate, a family surnamed Mo.
In a small land like Northern Cold City, the Mo Estate was definitely one of the top clans. Its influence was strong, and only the Bai Clan and the City Lord's Estate could compare to it.
On one hand, it was due to the external factors, and it looked down on the Bai Clan. On the other hand, it was due to the internal factors, that the First Elder suddenly rebelled, gathered the many forces of the Mo Estate, and forcefully suppressed the subordinate forces that came from the original Clan Head. Even the young master of the Gu Mo Estate, Mo Jiu, did not let them go.
It could be said to be blatant and arrogant to the extreme, but the family head's former prestige had already disappeared.
About a month ago, Mo Tianji, the pillar of the Mo Estate, suddenly fell into a violent illness. Before he could find out the cause of his illness, he had died.
For a time, the internal affairs of the Mo Estate were in chaos.
Before his body turned cold, Mo Tiannan, the Head Elder of the Mo Residence, suddenly rebelled. The remnants of his troops, which had lasted more than half a month, were slowly being forced back. Seeing that they were about to collapse, Mo Tianxue was forced to flee as well.
At this moment, the Mo Estate's Great Elder Mo Tianlan was sitting at the head of the conference hall in the Northern Cold City. He coldly looked at the group of black-clothed people below him.
”Give me an explanation. Why haven't they returned yet?” Mo Tianlan's face darkened as he stared at them and said in a deep voice.
The sky had already brightened up, but the group of subordinates he had dispatched to kill Mo Jiu last night had yet to return. He was not happy that their efficiency was so low.
Hearing this, all the men in black changed their expressions. One of the foremen immediately cupped his fists and bowed respectfully, ”Reporting to the grand elder, we have yet to have them remove …”
Pow!
”Bastard, how many times have I told you this? Call me Clan Head, call me Clan Head …” ”Could it be that you have no memory at all?”
Before the other party could finish his sentence, Mo Tianlan suddenly flew into a rage. He raised his hand and slammed it down onto the handle of the chair.
With a 'pata' sound, the chair broke into pieces when he stood up.
”Please calm your anger, Master! Please calm your anger! This subordinate was wrong. Next time, I will remember it!” The man looked at him with fear in his eyes.
”Humph, if there's a next time, then prepare the coffin!” Mo Tianlan's face darkened. He swept his gaze across the crowd and said in a low voice, ”Listen, from today onwards, I am the Lord of the Mo Estate. If there are any disobedience, die …”
”Great Elder sure is mighty!”
However, at this time, a playful voice suddenly came from the entrance of the council chamber, causing the imposing Mo Tianlan to shudder. He turned to look, only to discover that the young master of the Mo Estate, Mo Tianxue, had already appeared at the entrance of the council chamber. He was leaning on the doorstep with arms crossed, looking devilishly lazy.
The black-clothed men were all shocked. This Young Lord should have died a long time ago, how could he suddenly return without a sound?
When they looked carefully at the outside of the door, they discovered that the two guards who were originally standing there had already been soundlessly let go of the door. They didn't know if they were alive or dead.
This scene couldn't help but cause their hearts to tremble violently.
”Mo Jiu, you … ”He's not dead yet?” Mo Tianlan glared at Mo Jiu, disbelief written all over his face.
”Ke ke, First Elder, are you just looking forward to this young master's death?”
Mo Jiu slowly let go of his crossed arms and stood up straight. He walked straight over and sat down on a chair opposite to Su Ming. He looked at Su Ming with a smile that was not a smile.
The moment he said this, Mo Tianlan's expression changed drastically. He narrowed his eyes and sized him up.
