Chapter 61: The Fall of the Mo Clan

Leng Leng took the precious sword, waved it several times, and then a buzzing sound came from the sword. This sword was the weapon of an ace of the True Energy Realm. Even though it was only a High Grade Magic Weapon, it was nevertheless a marvellous treasure.

“Thank you, Brother Ye Mo. This weapon is gorgeous!” Leng Leng said with joy.

Leng Fung was shocked. The value of a High Grade Magic Weapon was equal to that of a small family’s fortune, yet Ye Mo gave it to his sister without a second thought.

Ye Mo patted Leng Leng’s hair and said with a smile, “You have to promise that you will keep working hard.”

Leng Fung clasped his hands and said, “Thank you for giving my sister a High Grade Magic Weapon. If you need any help from the Leng family in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

“What are you talking about? It is already a blessing for me that we can train together.” Ye Mo laughed.

“Brother, with the High Grade Magic Weapon, if I reach the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm, perhaps I can become one of the first five in the Limestone Champion List. By that time, the Leng Clan can truly take over the Mo Clan’s position,” Leng Leng said.

“Ha! I don’t know who the Mo Clan offended this time. The whole family had been slaughtered overnight,” Leng Fung said.

“What? The whole Mo Clan was slaughtered?” Ye Mo asked in shock.

“As you have just returned to Limestone city, you don’t know about it. Yesterday night, a mysterious person killed every member in the Mo Clan, and nobody was left alive. Even when the elder of the Mo Clan, who had been training secretly, came out to help he was still no match for that ace. My father said the ace could possibly be one of the True Energy Realm. The Mo Clan had bad luck for angering an ace of such a Realm. However, as Mo Feng was not in the Mo Mansion at that time, he was probably the sole survivor,” Leng Fung said.

Mo Feng was only a martial artist of the Spirit Cultivating Realm. Even if he ran as quickly as he could, he could not have arrived at Limestone City before Ye Mo did.

A single wrong move by Mo Feng caused him to lose the whole game.  ( NovelFull )

Moreover, Qi Ying was an Empress, so if the Emperor knew Mo Feng colluded with the Barbarians to act against Qi Ying, not only the Mo Clan, but the whole Limestone City would be obliterated.

With this thought, a shiver ran down Ye Mo’s spine. Once the Emperor knew he had an affair with the Empress, he would be grinded to scraps.

But Qi Ying would not tell anybody about it. It was not only about Ye Mo’s safety but also about the prosperity of the Qi Clan.

The fury of the Emperor would certainly be unstoppable.

“What’s going on with the Mo Clan now?” Ye Mo asked.

“Now the Mo Mansion is empty. The Qin Clan, the Ye Clan, and the Xiao Clan are thinking about how to confiscate the property of the Mo Clan. The Mo CLan is the third largest family in Limestone City, so many people are greedily eying their property, especially the Book of the Pill Lord.”

After the fall of the Mo Clan, only the Qin Clan, the Ye Clan, and the Xiao Clan were capable of taking over its property and resources. None of the other smaller clans would dare to follow.

“It seems like this confiscation will not be easy for anybody!”

After saying goodbye to Leng Fung and Leng Leng, Ye Mo headed to the hall of the Xiao Clan. He had to report to Xiao Yuanshan that he could not obtain the Yin Poison Grass. When Ye Mo arrived, he saw Xiao Yuanshan frowning and talking to Xiao Feng.

“Clan head, the Qin Clan and the Ye Clan are now bullying us for being weak. They agreed to equally distribute the resources and property of the Mo Clan, but demanded that the Book of the Pill Lord belong to them,” Xiao Feng said.

Xiao Yuanshan slammed his fists on the table and shouted in fury, “Do they really dare to humiliate the Xiao Clan for having no strong disciples?”

Among all of the property of the Mo Clan, the Book of the Pill Lord is the most precious one, which recorded how to refine pills, ranging from Rank One to Five. With that book, a family would undoubtedly flourish over time.

“Clan Head, please don’t be angry. The allocation of property is only a minor issue, but the competition of the Limestone Champion List half a month later is very important, too. We have to take serious consideration of the competition,” Xiao Feng said.

“Ugh! So I have to give up the Book of the Pill Lord. If others heard about this humiliation, how could I, Xiao Yuanshan, face them anymore?”

The Ye and Qin Clans monopolizing the Book of the Pill Lord without the Xiao Clan would surely damage the might and reputation of the Xiao Clan.

“Clan head, Ye Kuang and Qin Hao are now discussing what to do with the Book of the Pill Lord,” Xiao Feng said.

“I am going to the Mo Mansion to have a look and see what they are going to do with the book.” Xiao Yuanshan stood up and spotted Ye Mo standing at the entrance.

A grin appeared on Xiao Yuanshan’s hardened face, and he said, “Ye Mo, I just heard from Xiao Feng that you have returned from the Spirit Valley. Your journey must have been rewarding since you have reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm.”

“Uncle Xiao, I found the Yin Poison Grass, but I was not strong enough to pick it. But please don’t worry, when I become strong enough, I will immediately take it for you,” Ye Mo said.

Xiao Yuanshan patted on him on his shoulder and said with approval, “I am currently unable to deal with that herb as well. The purpose of this task is to give you a challenge, so I can be confident when I entrust you my daughter.”

“Please don’t worry, Uncle Xiao. I will surely help Xiao Yue enter the first five of the Limestone Champion List.”

“My wife has just returned from Tianyong City and is talking to my daughter. I have already asked the servants to prepare you a room. Take a rest in the room, and you can meet Xiao Yue soon. I am going out with Xiao Feng now,” Xiao Yuanshan said.

“Uncle Xiao, are you going for the Book of the Pill Lord? Shall the three of us go together instead?” Ye Mo said.

“That’s fair. Ye Kwong treated you so horribly before, so I would like to see how he will react when he realizes you have reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm.” Xiao Yuanshan said.

They left the Xiao Mansion and went to the Mo Mansion. All the plaques in the mansion had been removed, and the doors were broken. Workers of the mansion came in and out, moving box after box.

Ye Mo walked behind Xiao Yuanshan and entered the Mo Mansion. In the main garden, Ye Kuang was standing beside Qin Hao and both of them were grinning. Upon spotting Xiao Yuanshan, they grinned even more.

“Xiao Yuanshan, you came at the right time. We have just been discussing what to do with the Book of the Pill Lord.”

“What do you need to discuss? Even though the Xiao Clan is weaker than the two fellow families, we will not give up the book without a fight,” Xiao Yuanshan waved his cuff and shouted.

“Xiao Yuanshan, what are you talking about? I was just discussing with Qin Hao that the current allocation was unfair to you. So how about this? Each of us will send out three martial artists below the age of 20, while allowing other small families to participate, so we can have a Property Competition together? The family who gets the most property will own the Book of the Pill Lord. What do you think about that? First of all, the property will be allocated according to strength. Secondly, those small families cannot complain about not being given any opportunities. Thirdly, it can be a little warm-up exercise before the Limestone Champion List Competition. I intend to encourage the young men of my family to join this competition, so they are able to meet adult aces,” Ye Kuang said.

“Xiao Yuanshan, please don’t tell me your clan has nobody capable of winning, and that you are afraid to fight?” Qin Hao stepped up and asked with a faint smile.

Looking at this collusion, Xiao Yuanshan was furious. The Xiao Clan did not have a lot of disciples at the age of 20. It could be said that they had none. This competition was very disadvantageous towards the Xiao family. But since they already made the offer, it was difficult for him to turn it down.

“Afraid of what? You should be afraid of losing all properties of the Mo family and the Book of the Pill Lord to Uncle Xiao!” Ye Mo stepped up and said.
