Chapter 43: Ch 43- The Massacre
After killing Hong San, Mo Yuan did not stay in the study for long.
He turned around and started looking for Hong Bao, who was his next target.
Hong Bao was the father of Hong Yuan and had reached the mid level of the Origin Core Realm.
If this had been the old Mo Yuan, he would have had to be extremely careful when facing someone like Hong Bao. Even if he had some confidence, an Origin Core Realm cultivator was still a powerful existence to him at that time.
But things were different now.
Mo Yuan’s strength had already reached a completely different level.
With his Strength Talent and Primordial Qi boost, his physical strength had reached one million jin. Fore him an ordinary mid-level Origin Core Realm cultivator was no longer someone he needed to take seriously.
Even if Hong Bao stood in front of him and fought him head-on, Mo Yuan was confident that he could kill him with one strike.
Soon, Mo Yuan found Hong Bao.
However, when he entered the room, he couldn’t help but feel slightly awkward. Hong Bao was with his wife, completely unaware of the danger that had already entered the room.
Neither of them noticed Mo Yuan.
Despite the weird situation Mo Yuan did not waste time, he raised his hand and a saber light flashed through the room.
Hong Bao’s body suddenly froze.
His eyes widened, but before he could even understand what had happened, his life had already come to an end and the same thing happened with his wife.
Mo Yuan glanced at the corpses of both husband and wife before turning around.
One more problem was solved.
After dealing with Hong Bao, Mo Yuan did not stop.
Tonight, he had already decided to completely destroy the Hong Family. He did not want to leave behind any hidden danger.
One by one, the members of the Hong Family were killed.
Those who had reached the Origin Vessel Realm were no exception. Those who had reached the Origin Seed Realm were also killed.
Even the ordinary mortals of the Hong Family were not spared.
Mo Yuan moved through the manor like a ghost. Whenever someone discovered him, it was already too late.
Some people tried to resist and escape. Some even begged for mercy to spare them and they wont tell anyone what happened but none of that mattered to him, with his current strength Hong Family members were not even able to put up resistance.
Tonight, the Hong Family Manor became a bloody place.
Cries could be heard from different parts of the manor, but they only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.
Mo Yuan did not hesitate because knew that some people might think his actions were too ruthless but he did not care. The moment the Hong Family decided to target him, this outcome was already decided
If he left some members alive, who knew what would happen in the future? Perhaps one of them would become strong enough and come looking for revenge.
Perhaps they would discover that Mo Yuan was the person behind Hong Yuan’s death and if they could not deal with him, they might target his sister.
Mo Yuan was not willing to take that risk. Since he had decided to act, he would completely solve the problem and don’t want to leave any potential threat.
The entire Hong Family was wiped out in one night.
Mo Yuan stood in the middle of the manor and looked around.
There was no expression on his face. To him, this was simply something that needed to be done. After confirming that there was no one left alive in the Manor, Mo Yuan turned around and quietly left the manor. Just like when he came, no one noticed his departure.
The night was still dark.
Mo Yuan returned home without attracting anyone’s attention.
After entering his house, he immediately went to take a bath. The water washed away the bloodstains on his body. After changing his clothes, Mo Yuan entered his cultivation chamber.
He sat down cross-legged.
Everything that had happened tonight slowly passed through his mind.
Hong San.
Hong Bao.
The entire Hong Family.
Mo Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
"This is the first time I have done something like this."
He remained silent for a moment before letting out a small sigh.
"If this had happened in my previous world, I would probably be the biggest criminal on Earth."
A bitter smile appeared on his face. Back then, killing someone was something he could never have imagined doing but now, his state of mind had already changed.
When he had first killed Grey, he had not felt too much. Grey had come to kill him first, so Mo Yuan had simply killed him in return.
The same was true for Hong Yuan, he had ordered Grey to kill him. If Hong Yuan wanted to kill him, then he naturally had to face the consequences and the Hong Family, they had continued pursuing the matter and had even put a bounty on Grey.
Mo Yuan had only taken precautions against them but tonight, he had killed the entire Hong Family.
That was something completely different.
Mo Yuan looked down at his hands.
Even though there was no blood on them anymore after taking a bath, he could still somehow feel the blood that had stained them.
He remained silent for a long time.
"I did what I had to do to protect myself and my sister."
His eyes slowly became firm.
"Morals?"
"There is no such thing as morality in this world."
"This is a dog-eat-dog world."
"If I didn’t have the strength, then instead of the Hong Family, I would have been the one lying dead tonight."
Mo Yuan understood one this very carefully, in this world, strength was everything.
The strong could decide the fate of the weak and weak could only follow the rules created by the strong.
Without realizing it, Mo Yuan was already slowly adapting to this world. The values he had carried from his previous life were gradually changing.
"At least now, I don’t have to worry about the Hong Family anymore."
He took a deep breath and slowly calmed his mind. Tomorrow, he still had something important to do. His Copy Talent is usable again, and now he has to choose beast from which he can copy talent.
As for tonight’s events, Mo Yuan stopped thinking about them.
He closed his eyes and entered cultivation.
