Chapter 45 Bai Ying (1/2)
”Tsk, tsk, tsk. You were still able to strut in front of him just several months ago but all you can do is use tricks behind his back...”
Mo Yu suddenly turned around after hearing the familiar voice. His eyes turned cold. ”What are you here?!”
”I'm here to check on a stray dog, of course.”
A figure materialized out of thin air and hovered several meters away from Mo Yu. The person was clothed in black and had his face covered, concealing his looks.
Mo Yu clenched his fists so tightly that his bones creaked. ”Who are you referring to...?” he asked in a terrifyingly gloomy voice.
”You, of course. Don't you think that you're like a stray dog right now?” the masked man replied with a faint smile.
”You seek death!” Mo Yu abruptly invoked the True Energy within his body and threw an explosive punch at the man. The whistling of wind resounded but just as his fist was about to hit the masked man's body, the latter suddenly disappeared into thin air. Then, in a flash, he reappeared behind Mo Yu and sent him flying with a kick.
A loud thump reverberated in the air. Mo Yu crashed into a large stone, causing it to the shatter into pieces. He sneered and lay on the ground, not even feeling like getting back on his feet.
”Hehe, you want me to fight me? You're still lacking 10 years of cultivation. You've overestimated your capabilities.” The masked man's voice was hollow as if it had come from another domain.
Mo Yu wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and sneered. ”It's not up to you to teach a member of the Mo Family a lesson!”
”Mo Family? The legends of your family have long become a part of the past. Without me, you're just rubbish.” With a flick, the masked man sent a black pill flying. It landed next to Mo Yu's thigh. Then, with a flick of his sleeves, the masked man disappeared.
Looking at the dark pill lying next to his thigh, Mo Yu clenched his fists even harder. Then, with a punch, he crushed the block of stone next to him into smithereens.
When night fell, he returned to his courtyard in low spirits. In the dark of the night, a figure stood amidst the shadows. It was a green-clothed old man with a head of snow-white hair and hands clasped behind his back. Mo Yu immediately raised his head. ”Grandfather! Why are you here?!”
The green-clothed old man turned around, revealing his incredibly imposing expression. He said solemnly, ”Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Are you unable to accept such a small setback?”
Mo Yu lowered his head, unable to express the bitterness in his heart.
”Raise your head! Tell me! Tell me what's your surname!” the old man suddenly bellowed in a solemn voice.
”I'm... I'm surnamed Mo...”
”Speak louder!”
”I'm surnamed Mo!”
”Very good.” The old man walked over to him and pressed down on his shoulders. ”Remember that before one can become strong, he's bound to experience countless obstacles. If one can't even overcome such insignificant setback, he'll forever only be stuck as other people's stepping stones! This is like every single person in the Human World!”
The old man raised his head after speaking, looking at the mountain range that was shrouded in darkness. ”Back then, our Mo Family is one of the six large ancient aristocratic families of the Violet Manor. Our ancestors had ruled over the universe. Never mind mere Core Forming Realm cultivators, cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm, Nirvana Realm, Apotheosis Realm, and Grand Completion Realm, even the legendary Immortal King, had to show some respect to our Mo Family!”
He then exhaled a long sigh. He looked at Mo Yu and said with heartfelt emotions, ”Unfortunately, our family encountered that person and ended up landing on the Human World. Our clansmen suffered great ordeals, unable to ever return to the Violet Manor. On the other hand, you're the only one in our family to possess a complete True Dragon Bloodline! Only you have the capability to enter the Violet Manor! Only you can break that person's control and allow our clansmen to return to the Violet Manor!”
”I... I understand!” Mo Yu said, his fists tightly clenched.
The old man nodded. ”Your opponents shouldn't be dwellers of the Human World, but the other five clans of the Violet Manor, especially that Su Family...” His eyes became filled with hatred when he brought this up. ”With the cultivation method of our Mo Family, you'll be able to swiftly enter the Core Forming Realm when the time reaches. Perhaps even the Nascent Soul Realm, Nirvana Realm, Apotheosis Realm, and Grand Completion Realm! When you return to the Human World again, you'll realize that everyone here, including Bai Ying, could do nothing but look up to you!”
Mo Yu clenched his fists tightly. ”I'll definitely not disappoint the hopes of our clansmen!” ”I'll definitely fight for the quota for the Violet Manor this time!”
The old man nodded and said with his eyes closed, ”Is that person called Xiao Chen...?” Then, he spoke as if he was muttering to himself, ”Be careful of him. Of the six ancient aristocratic families, there's a Xiao Family...”
Mo Yu replied, ”I've once sent someone to investigate his identity. He's just the child of a martial arts aristocratic family, not enough to cause concern.”
The old man gave a gentle nod. ”Alright. It's getting late. I need to go back. Oh, I've also invited a person to come here to help you.” With that, he turned around and left.
”Invited someone to come here and help me? Who is it?”
”You'll find out when the time comes. I want you to also stop communicating with those people from small demonic sects, lest you taint your status.” The old man then disappeared in the dark of the night.
