Chapter 1124: The Three Factions Gather
Listening to Mo Chengfeng’s words, Third Uncle Mo was stunned for a moment: "Second Brother said that it was you who left the family with Father’s dying wishes and took your sister away."
"What else did he say?" Mo Chengfeng replied with a cold smile.
"He said he gave you a large sum of money, claiming it was enough for the two of you to live comfortably for a lifetime." Third Uncle Mo scratched his head: "During that time, the family finances did indeed have a substantial expenditure, and I assumed Second Brother’s words were true. What’s the real story?"
Mo Chengfeng clenched his fist: "My Second Uncle treated me quite well, didn’t he? Carrying out Father’s last wishes? Third Uncle, I think you should know what Father’s biggest wish was, right?"
"This..." Third Uncle Mo hesitated for a moment and said: "Back then, your father had no intention of competing for power. He planned to pass the position of Patriarch to your Second Uncle, and his greatest wish was for you and your sister to live well under my and your Second Uncle’s protection."
"But what’s the reality?" Mo Chengfeng spread his hands: "That dying wish was twisted in Second Uncle’s mouth, turning into a story of driving my sister and me out of the family, even resorting to killing us? Do you know where that expenditure went? It was used to hire many assassins to chase down my sister and me, because he was ashamed to use family experts to hunt us."
"This... how is this possible!" Despite his rebuttal, Third Uncle Mo’s confidence was gone.
Mo Chengfeng shrugged: "Of course, you can still choose to believe Mo Hengqiu. Today, I’ve returned for two purposes. First, to inform you that Dragon Spirit and Netherworld Hall are planning to deal with the Ai Family and the Mo Family, with the ultimate goal of eradicating these two hidden clans."
At this point, Mo Chengfeng suddenly looked up, his eyes sharp, and said word by word: "Second, to reclaim everything that belongs to me!"
"Everything of yours? What a joke, after today, will you still exist in this world?"
At this moment, several figures emerged from one side, led by Mo Hengqiu, the Patriarch of the Mo Family, and beside him was the sharp-tongued woman from earlier.
Mo Hengqiu approached, glanced at Third Uncle Mo, and then looked at Mo Chengfeng: "You’ve been difficult to find, but now that you’ve come to me yourself, it saves quite a bit of trouble."
"Second Brother, what do you mean? Do you really want to eradicate us?" Third Uncle Mo asked in a deep voice.
"I have always sought to eradicate him, didn’t you know?" Mo Hengqiu made no attempt to hide, but his tone was full of disdain when he said this.
Disdainful that Third Uncle Mo still didn’t know the real situation until now.
Naturally, after hearing all this, Third Uncle Mo finally believed Mo Chengfeng, understood Mo Chengfeng’s suffering, and also the cruelness of Mo Hengqiu!
Frowning, he asked in a deep voice, "He is your nephew and mine, and even when Big Brother was alive, he didn’t compete for power, directly giving the Patriarch position to you. Now you have everything, what more do you want?"
"Everything?" Mo Hengqiu shook his head: "No, no, no, I only have everything of the Mo Family. I still want more."
The conversation stopped here, and Mo Hengqiu looked at Aunt Ai from the Ai Family and Ai Zexin: "For example, the Ai Family!"
"Arrogant words!" Aunt Ai from the Ai Family chided coldly: "With me here, how dare you act recklessly!"
"If it were just me alone, perhaps it wouldn’t work, but what if there are others?"
Mo Hengqiu’s voice fell, and dozens of figures emerged around the courtyard. Their attire varied, but everyone was familiar with the aura they exuded. Blocking the door were experts from Netherworld Hall, and those surrounding from the side were experts from Dragon Spirit.
The situation was clear; Dragon Spirit and Netherworld Hall wanted to tear open the western part of Star Sea, and there were two ways: one, to eradicate and destroy the two hidden families, the Ai Family and the Mo Family; two, to recruit them to their side, thus gaining more underlings, which would be favorable for them.
Though the head of the Ai Family might act absurdly, he still had some conscience and only acted out of selfishness, while Mo Hengqiu from the Mo Family saw the bigger picture, directly siding with Dragon Spirit and Netherworld Hall.
In other words, he abandoned the ancestral loyalty, betrayed the ancestral teachings, and completely became a henchman of evil men!
For a moment, Aunt Ai’s expression grew extremely unpleasant. If it were just the Mo Family, she could manage with her skills. But now, with experts from three factions appearing, even she was somewhat helpless.
She couldn’t help but cast her gaze toward Liu Zixuan.
"Personal vendetta, public grievances. It seems today can resolve them all." Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes with a smile and pulled Mo Chengfeng behind him: "Don’t worry, I’ll preserve Mo Hengqiu’s life for you to handle personally."
"Alright." Mo Chengfeng nodded and retreated to Gu Yu and the others, knowing the current situation was beyond his capability to intervene, no matter how much he wanted to do something, it would only create chaos.
Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi both stepped forward, gazing at the dozens of experts from the three factions surrounding them with solemn expressions, like facing a formidable enemy!
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Ai Family experts and those from Lingxiu Village, whom you see as a thorn in your side, are all here, let’s all take action and eliminate them. This will pave the road for the Hall Master to Yudu and lessen the resistance during the battle."
"It’s the human calculations that cannot surpass Heavenly predestination, isn’t it?" An expert from Netherworld Hall stepped forward and said with a laugh: "The Hall Master was just troubled by Liu Zixuan earlier, and now we’ve conveniently encountered them. Let’s capture them all in one fell swoop and settle one of the Hall Master’s concerns!"
"This man bears many secrets. Everyone should try to capture him alive, while the others can be eliminated together!" An expert from Dragon Spirit pointed at Liu Zixuan and said.
The leaders from the three factions nodded in agreement, and with them aside, the crowd of experts behind them directly drew their weapons and closed in on Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi.
Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes for a moment and smiled at Aunt Ai from the Ai Family: "Please help me look after my two brothers!"
Aunt Ai from the Ai Family was momentarily stunned: "Are you sure you want just the two of you to face the three groups without needing our help?"
Though Aunt Ai from the Ai Family only brought one expert from the Ai Family, in this kind of battle, they could be very useful since they were all Innate Emperor Realm experts.
And Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi, although powerful, were as much against odds as the others were with dozens of people. Their abilities might not match up to their individual prowess, but when fighting, they were certainly formidable foes.
Liu Zixuan smiled slightly, exchanging a look with Zhao Yi: "Are you ready to fight?"
"Why not!" Zhao Yi held the Celestial Spirit Saber, without the slightest hint of fear.
Let alone teaming up with Liu Zixuan, even if it were just him alone, he’d dare fight!
If it comes to losing his life, it would be no more than a scar the size of a bowl. Besides, holding the saber in his hand, since he’s yet to fight, how could he fear?
Liu Zixuan nodded, "Then let’s fight!"
