Chapter 850: Grudge (2/2)
Everyone in the meeting room was of the highest echelons of the Xia family, hence in Mo Wuji's eyes, they had to be part of the main branches of the Xia family. He never expected that there would be two men remaining.
A bloody stench emanated from the meeting room, and these two men shakily stood up, looked at each other, before charging out without hesitation. Even if they were idiots, they would have known that they were not part of the Xia family in the first place, and precisely because of this, they were able to cling onto their lives.
Even if they were members of the Xia family, after surviving this ordeal, they would no longer identify as one, much less if they weren't a member at all.
…
Mo Wuji calmly walked out of Jing Yang City. His heart was much lighter than before. The thorn that had been pricking deep in his heart had finally disappeared completely.
As for murdering all males 15 years old and above in the Xia family main branch, he didn't feel guilty about it either. Xia Ruoyin killed him without telling him the reason, even when he was her lover. Thus, one could see how cruelly the Xia family treated others.
Compared to other cultivators, he still had his own baseline. If it were any other, even the most docile of people, would probably massacre the entire Xia family.
From this day on, the issue between him and Xia Ruoyin would totally end. At this point, Xia Ruoyin was no different from people like Lun Cai and Murong Xiangyu.
After staring at Jingshou Mountain for a good while, Mo Wuji took a step out and vanished. He was ready to set up a defensive array and a elemental energy restoration array for Earth.
With his current level of cultivation and Array Dao, he could even set up a defensive array for an entire star system, hence a grand array to purify the elemental energy of Earth was nothing much.
Array flags were integrated one after another into the space around Earth, and a slight amount of immortal spiritual aura was added in as well.
The foggy layer of dust haze that covered Earth's surface was instantly sucked away, as if someone had used a large vacuum cleaner on the area. The destroyed ozone layer was also rapidly healed by Mo Wuji's defensive array.
The Earth that had not seen any sunlight for a long time finally had a few rays of light landing on certain areas.
…
Gua Cheng City, a medium city, the home of Xian Zhiyang.
Zhiyang could be considered an ordinary person in Gua Cheng, because Xian Donghai of the Xian family had good business acumen, earned some money, and used it to set up a mould company. The rest of the Xian family were pulled into the mould company and each of them possessed a small percentage of the company's shares.
However, there were many internal arguments in the Xian family due to a very simple reason: Xian Donghai's son, Xian Zhiyang, suddenly returned from school and began to invest in real estate.
How could an average mould company earn that much money? No matter how cheap land was, after Xian Zhiyang had his go at it, his funding started to run out.
”We don't wish to continue arguing. Convert our shares into money and give it to us. Since you want to buy the entire Earth, we won't care that much anymore.” Xian Dongxi was Xian Donghai's younger brother, and also the largest shareholder with 7% to his name.
”It was Donghai that brought you guys into the mould company, and you're still in the process of finding other jobs.” Xian Donghai's wife was enraged. These brothers and sisters were all thankless wretches, completely forgetting how Donghai treated them in the past.
”How much money/” Xian Donghai was tired of scolding his son any more, and now he just wanted to find a way to raise the money for his relatives.
”We have a combined 13% of shares, which adds up to 5.21 million. We don't want that much from you, so just give us 5 million and we'll be square.” Xian Dongxi spoke again.
Before Xian Donghai could reply, Xian Dongyang stood up, ”Dad, I'll go to borrow the money.”
After speaking his piece, Xian Dongyang called Tan Zhenman. He was just an acquaintance of Tan Zhenman, possibly even not acquainted with her at all. Back then, it was Mo Wuji that told him to invest in real estate, hence he wanted to ask if Tan Zhenman passed the Three Star Exam. If Tan Zhenman really did, then he must have judged Mo Wuji correctly. If that was the case, he intended to take a loan from her, as the Tan family was much wealthier than the Xian family.
However, if Tan Zhenman did not pass the Three Star Exam, he could only try sell the land at a dirt cheap price, gather 5 million, and give it to these heartless relatives.
…
In the Observatory Plaza of Qi Shu City, Xi Li and Tan Zhenman stared at each other. They had been stuck here for days, and even their meals were bought by some workers from the outside. Just now, they felt that the thin needle which could kill them at any moment had disappeared, and they could sense that no matter how far they walked, it wouldn't be a problem. On top of that, both of them had regained their strength.
”What's going on?” Tan Zhenman asked in disbelief.
Xi Li had a little more experience, and while it was very unusual, he could feel that someone far away had taken these needles out from their brain.
”Zhenman, someone should have helped to remove those needles from our bodies.” Xi Li couldn't believe what he was saying, but his senses shouldn't have betrayed him.
