Chapter 1122: Sharp-Tongued Woman
In front of the Mo Family residence, one of the Star Sea’s hidden families.
"The Ai Family is a descendant of the Royal Family, but what’s the deal with this Mo Family?" Liu Zixuan stopped in front of the door and couldn’t help but ask.
"Their history is even older than our Ai Family. I’ve heard it was founded by an outsider prince in some dynasty, who was someone that forged the empire alongside the emperor of that dynasty, leading its armies, and was subsequently conferred as the first outsider prince," Liu Zixuan’s aunt explained.
Liu Zixuan laughed and said, "So, they can also be considered descendants of the royal family, right?"
"There’s naturally the bloodline. It’s said that the ancestor who founded the Mo Family married the emperor’s sister of that dynasty," Liu Zixuan’s aunt said, with a bitter smile: "But that’s all in the past. Who recognizes such identities now? Even with such a status, if you’re mediocre and without substance, it’s just for show."
Liu Zixuan nodded slightly and looked toward Mo Chengfeng.
Mo Chengfeng’s expression was complex as he looked at the place where he grew up, his heart mixed with a myriad of emotions, loving and hating this place, but perhaps feeling more melancholy than anything else.
Before returning, his heart was filled with resentment, eager to destroy the entire Mo Family to extinguish his grudge. But now that he’s actually back, looking at those familiar faces, he found that something deep in his blood prevented him from taking action!
"Let’s go."
After a while, Mo Chengfeng spoke hoarsely, being the first to walk into the courtyard.
Liu Zixuan and the others followed him. Now Mo Chengfeng was the main character, here to save the Mo Family but also to settle accounts with them!
As conflicted as he was, even stepping into his home, he remained in turmoil.
The Mo Family residence, true to its historical lineage, resembled a prince’s mansion, very classical, with various cold weapons displayed on both sides, and in the middle of the courtyard stood a giant statue. The statue was atop a horse, and even as a lifeless figure, it exuded quite an aura.
Mo Chengfeng slightly bowed in front of the statue, but just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged woman suddenly stepped forward: "Oh, isn’t this Cheng Feng, who was kicked out of the house? Who let you in?"
Her words were filled with sarcasm.
Mo Chengfeng looked up: "Second Aunt."
"No... I don’t have a nephew like you." The middle-aged woman sneered: "From the moment you were kicked out, you’re no longer part of the Mo Family. So no Mo Family members have anything to do with you, and now that you’ve entered the Mo Family residence without reason, you’ve trespassed on private property. You should know the consequences!"
"After so long, must you still be so ruthless?" Mo Chengfeng asked with a complex expression.
"Long? It’s only been a few years," the middle-aged woman coldly laughed.
A trace of coldness appeared in Mo Chengfeng’s eyes: "Since you say so, I don’t think there’s any need for me to hold any thoughts about you!"
"Hold thoughts about us? What, do you think we’ll acknowledge your status?" The middle-aged woman laughed disdainfully.
Mo Chengfeng clenched his fist: "I want to see Mo Hengqiu!"
"How dare you, a junior, call out the Patriarch’s name?" The middle-aged woman scolded sharply.
"Since I’ve been expelled from the Mo Family, why talk about seniority? Calling him Mo Hengqiu already gives him plenty of face!" Mo Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
This statement was enough to demonstrate Mo Chengfeng’s determination, independent of whether anyone supported him!
"Gone out for a few years and haven’t learned anything new, just got a temper!"
The middle-aged woman shouted to the side: "Someone, seize this rebellious child for me!"
Thump, thump, thump!
Moments later, more than a dozen Mo Family guards appeared, weapons in hand, looking aggressive.
"With just one word from you, they will all fall," Zhao Yi stepped forward, patting Mo Chengfeng on the shoulder with a smile.
A tear flickered in Mo Chengfeng’s eyes: "They forced me!"
"Good!"
Zhao Yi understood Mo Chengfeng’s meaning immediately, striding forward with the Celestial Spirit Saber in hand: "All of you, come at me!"
"Attack!" The middle-aged woman gave the order.
A group of Mo Family guards gathered their weapons and directly rushed toward Zhao Yi.
But, they underestimated Zhao Yi.
The Celestial Spirit Saber struck the ground, a strong gale instantly spread around, and in just a moment, those more than ten martial artists fell, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying!
Although the middle-aged woman was sharp-tongued, she had long been a wealthy lady in this mansion and had never seen such a scene. Seeing those she relied on die, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
"Quickly notify the Patriarch!"
Indeed, even in despair, she did not forget to shout out.
"Who is causing trouble in the Mo Family’s territory?"
During this time, Liu Zixuan and the others didn’t step forward, because Mo Chengfeng hadn’t moved, so they quietly waited. Shortly, a rough voice appeared.
Six men walked out of the house, each with a strong aura, and the leader was a burly man holding an iron hammer.
"Third Brother, quickly handle those people!" The middle-aged woman seemed to find a savior, urgently crawling over and shouting.
The burly man known as Third Brother glanced over, his gaze settling on Mo Chengfeng: "Cheng Feng? When did you come back?"
"Mo Third Master," Mo Chengfeng responded coldly.
"You little brat, why aren’t you calling me Third Uncle anymore!" the burly man rebuked.
"Third Brother, why waste words with him? He’s no longer the child running around calling you Third Uncle. He’s come back with hardened wings to seek revenge on us," the middle-aged woman shouted.
"Second Sister-in-law, you must be mistaken!"
"How could I be mistaken!" the middle-aged woman stomped, pointing at the dozen or so dead Mo Family guards: "See, they killed them, stop hesitating and take action!"
"This..."
"I order you in the name of the Patriarch’s wife, kill Mo Chengfeng!"
The burly man hesitated as the middle-aged woman yelled sternly.
"Such is the case..." The burly man’s eyes flickered twice, and he said to Mo Chengfeng: "Don’t blame Third Uncle!"
"Ha." Mo Chengfeng laughed self-deprecatingly: "Blame you, would it help?"
The burly man was stunned for a moment, then directly said to the people behind him: "Take action!"
"No need to make it so complicated."
At this moment, Liu Zixuan walked to Mo Chengfeng’s side and shouted at the middle-aged woman and the burly man in front of him: "It’s a waste of time to have them come out one by one, call out all your Mo Family experts."
What kind of talk is this?
Could it be that Liu Zixuan and the few of them want to challenge the entire Mo Family, one of the hidden families of the Star Sea?
This is too arrogant, knowing that this isn’t just an ordinary family, but a hidden family with ancient martial heritage!
