Chapter 315 - The Mo family (1/2)
The cyan-robed elder sent that young man back through the air, and he happened to land in the Jade Qing Sect’s area. Yu Yifeng went up to help the young man up. Then, he pushed some True Energy into the man’s body to ease his injury.
Xiao Chen threw a glance at the young man. “Whenever someone disagrees, he or she will be beaten up and spit blood because of that. What would happen if it were me?” Previously, Xiao Chen might have given his vocal support. But now, he only felt too exhausted to take care of other things. He turned around and was about to leave, but a thunderous voice rang out behind him. “Which one is Xiao Chen?”
Xiao Chen just lifted his foot, but then he took it back. He turned around to look at the strongly built elder in the red robe and asked indifferently, “What’s up?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the elder holding the peach wood cane narrowed his eyes. “At such a young age, how do you not know that you should show some respect to your elders?” After that, he shot a ray of white radiance from his peach wood cane once again like before.
The ray of white radiance came at Xiao Chen at an exceedingly fast speed. Xiao Chen flicked his hand and changed the white radiance’s direction. He said coldly, “If you want to say something, say it. Do you enjoy attacking others? I am Xiao Chen!”
Upon hearing Xiao Chen reproach, the disciples from each sect around them felt very happy in their hearts. When the elder was about to say something again, a cold voice suddenly came from the eastern end of the high platform. “How should I call you, my three friends?”
The Daoist League of the Five Continents maintained a special status. It was jointly formed by sects of the Orthodox Path from the Five Continents. Thus, unlike other individual sects, the Daoist League welcomed the people of the Orthodox Path from each continent. So even if the elder was rude, it was not okay for the Daoist League to directly drive the three of them away.
The elder with the peach wood cane still wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Chen. But since someone had asked him a question, he had to give up on that. He looked up and smiled. “I was here two months ago. Perhaps, the Chief cannot remember me now…”
“I am not the Chief. You can just go ahead and tell me who you are.” Obviously, the Elder in the red robe on the high platform became a little unhappy.
When the three people in midair landed on the ground, the people around them immediately dispersed. With his peach wood cane pressing against the ground, the cyan-robed elder stopped smiling and said in a cold voice, “Attention! I am Mo Tiannan from an ancient Heaven-exterminating family — the Mo family!”
When this statement came out, everyone around him looked at each other, puzzled. Their Elders had mentioned the ancient Heaven-exterminating family to them. It was a family that existed several eras before and could be basically considered as an ancient legend. But where did this Mo family come from? They had never heard of it for hundreds of years.
It seemed that Mo Tiannan was very dissatisfied with the reactions of those people around. “Thump!” With a dull thud, he violently poked the ground with his peach wood cane and knocked all the people near him a few steps away. Some of them even staggered backward and fell to the ground.
Finally, someone roared discontentedly, “Hey! Old bastard! We show you some respect because you are our guest! However, again and again, you act wildly! How dare you look down upon the Immortals’ League!”
“How dare you say that?” The haughty young man beside Mo Tiannan rebuked with a deep voice. After that, he pressed his fingers together and shot a finger force at the person who spoke just now. The finger force turned into a ray of golden light and went ferociously at that person. It was going to kill that person.
“Amitabha…” At this moment, someone in the near distance chanted Buddha’s name slowly and shattered the finger force with ease.
Those juniors did not know how to appreciate what was good. But some Elders of sects frowned already. “It seems that there was a potent Mo family before, but it suddenly disappeared a thousand years ago. Can it be that Mo family?”
“But what is the relationship between this Mo family and the ancient Heaven-exterminating family? It was something that happened tens of thousands of years ago. Nowadays, even the Su family dares not call itself the Heaven-exterminating family. Therefore, how dare this Mo family claim to be a Heaven-exterminating family! It is the greatest outrage to all established values.”
Just then, an odd sound came from the crowd. “Hey! Then, there is a question. Great Senior Mo, you are from the Mo family, an ancient Heaven-exterminating family, but what are you doing here?”
A strange old man wearing purple clothes and a mask slowly came out of the crowd. His words were full of sarcasm. Mo Tiannan understood that, so he bellowed in a deep voice. “How dare you!” Then, Mo Tiannan sent his peach wood cane forward toward the old man’s Tanzhong point.
However, Zi Mo spotted the little gourd giving out rays of golden light, which was tied to the cane. It was obviously not an ordinary thing either. So he quickly strode over to it. His figure moved swiftly, and he went around to the side of the cane. After taking a close look at the gourd, he said with surprise, “Gee? What is this thing? It looks like fun.”
After he said that, he grabbed the wooden cane with both hands and passed a hidden force to the other end of it. Immediately, Mo Tiannan felt his arm go numb, and then his whole body felt as if he had gotten an electric shock. Quickly, Mo Tiannan released his wooden cane.
Swiftly, Zi Mo untied the gourd with ease and threw the wooden cane back. Then, looking at the gourd in his hand, Zi Mo laughed. “Although I do not know what it is, it looks very powerful. I might as well accept it.”
