Chapter 1245 - 1245: The Fall of the Mou Clan
Elder Zi-Liang was very interested in Zheng-Fu's plan, which he said was better than sending forces to deal with the demon monster beast hordes. Because it was not as risky and might put them at a disadvantage as sending forces to fight.
"After we finish dealing with the Mou Clan, I'll tell you. But don't worry, it'll take them another three to four days to dig those tunnels into the city."
Umm!
"You really like to keep secrets. Can't you tell this elder?"
"No way! It won't be exciting and fun!"
Hah!
Elder Zi-Liang felt a little annoyed that Zheng-Fu did not let him know his plan. And he could not force Zheng-Fu to tell him because he could not fight Zheng-Fu. His only choice was to wait and see until Zheng-Fu told him.
Hehe!
Zheng-Fu felt happy teasing the serious elder. He thought that this elder was always reserved and took everything seriously. So, he would like to make the elder relax and reduce some pressure on himself to improve his mind, which would be useful for his cultivation in the future.
"Since Master Elder has free time, why don't you take this to read and kill time first?"
Hah!?
Blop!
What is it...?!
Ah!
"This... this... this is... You... you..."
"I just saw that you were free, so I wanted to find something for you to do to relieve your boredom. But if you don't like reading, you can return it to me."
Zheng-Fu knew how the elder was feeling. What he gave the elder was the energy cultivation technique that he had given to Zi-Dong-Lei before; therefore, the elder would never return it to him without reading it. However, he wanted to tease the elder for fun, so he asked for the skill treatise in the elder's hand back.
No!
"I... I like it very much! Ha ha ha! It seems that you are quite a good boy, Little Comrade. You sympathize with this old man and are afraid that I would get bored, so you find something good for me to read. Then… I'll go read it first."
Whooosh!!!
"Ah..., Master Elder, wait a moment!"
"I can't hear, I am busy!"
Elder Zi-Liang quickly refused, as Zheng-Fu had thought. Moreover, his demeanor was like that of a child who is possessive of his toys. When he finished speaking, he immediately soared out of there because he was afraid that Zheng-Fu would really snatch it back.
Ha ha ha!
When Zheng-Fu saw that Elder had gone far, he immediately let out a happy laugh. He felt that it had been a long time since he had seen anything so funny.
"I hope you all can be of use to me in the future. If not..., I can destroy what I have created!" But in the next second, Zheng-Fu's gaze suddenly changed from bright to dark and terrifying. He helped those people so that they would help him back. If they were useless, he would destroy them all.
Back to the fight between the Mou Clan and the people who hate and want to benefit from the Mou Clan…
"Mou-Seng, now that you're all surrounded, surrender yourself. I'll let you die with your body intact!"
Zi-Dong-Lei shouted after he finished dealing with the Mou Clan's vanguard. Only Mou Clan Leaders like Mou-Seng and a few dozen core members of the clan were left.
Spit!
"Do you think this is child's play? This is a fight. If it's not you who dies, it's me. Stop talking so much. If you want to kill me, come on!"
However, Mou-Seng would not give up easily. He had to die anyway. So, he would rather die with honor than surrender like a coward.
Good!
"Since that's what you want, don't blame me for being cruel to you!"
[Golden Spark Split the Sky Sword Skill]
Whooooosh!!!
Ah!?
"Skill of this level…! You've already mastered it?!"
Mou Clan Leader turned pale when he saw the skill Zi-Dong-Lei used. He knew that skill as well. It was a skill that was auctioned off at the city's auction house many years ago. According to the information provided by the auction house, the Golden Spark Split the Sky Sword Skill was once a Deity Skill.
However, the Golden Spark Split the Sky Sword Skill that Zi Clan obtained was incomplete, and only half of it remained. Therefore, it was only classified as a Half-Step Deity Skill. However, even though it was only a Half-Step Deity Skill, it was much more powerful than the Advanced Deity Soul Skill.
"That's right! I spent years practicing it, and I was finally able to use this skill. Although it can't show its full power, it was enough to kill you!"
Take it!
"I won't give up! It can't be like this!"
Yaaaaaaak!!!
Booooooom!!!
Although Mou Clan Leader did not want to surrender, he did not have enough energy to withstand such a fierce attack from Zi-Dong-Lei. His body was instantly shattered and disappeared along with the destructive energy waves from the Golden Spark Split the Sky Sword Skill.
Cla... Clan Leader is dead!?
No way!?
Clan Leader!!!
The remaining Mou Clan's elders and great skilled masters were all shocked and did not know what to do when they saw that their Clan Leader, the pillar of their heart and brave spirit, had died before their eyes.
"Mou Clan Leader is dead! Quickly kill the rest!"
Kill them!!!
Yaaaaaak!!!
However, the attacking side had a lot more morale and motivation, so they drew out more energy and rushed in to deal with the remaining Mou Clan people without fear.
Those Mou Clan people could not fight against the large number of people who surrounded them. Eventually, they were all killed.
"Finally, it's over. Sigh... Why did this have to happen!"
Zi-Dong-Lei felt a little sad about having to do that. He did not want this kind of bloodshed to happen. In the Mou Clan extermination, more than ten thousand people were killed. Whether it was children, women, or old people, if they were Mou Clan members, they were all killed. If they were left, they might be the seeds of the Mou Clan's resentment that would come back to take revenge on their clan in the future. Even though they did not look scary, if something like that happened, it would cause chaos.
"Sooner or later, this will happen. So, it's not your fault. But if you really feel guilty…, you should resign as the City Governor and take your Zi Clan away from here to end the trouble and end the power struggle. It's so easy!"
Ah!
Little Comrade Zheng-Fu!
While Zi-Dong-Lei was standing there thinking in a trance, Zheng-Fu suddenly walked up behind him and suggested something so that Zi-Dong-Lei and Zi Clan would not have to go through that kind of thing again. If it were someone else who had said this, Zi-Dong-Lei would have already dealt with him. But since it was Zheng-Fu who had spoken, Zi-Dong-Lei did nothing and only showed a face that he did not understand what Zheng-Fu meant.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Report, sir, City Governor!
"There are no treasures left in the Mou Clan's treasury, sir. Even on the bodies of the Mou Clan people we killed, there were no valuables!"
Hah!?
However, before Zi-Dong-Lei could get any answers from Zheng-Fu, a Zi Clan soldier ran in to report that the Mou Clan's treasury was empty.
"How is this possible? Did any clan enter the Mou Clan's treasury before us?" Zi-Dong-Lei was shocked when he heard that. The Mou Clan had enormous treasures; if they could get them, it would greatly help his Zi Clan's development.
"No, sir! Because ever since the protection curtain was destroyed, we immediately went to search the Mou Clan's treasury first. We arrived there before anyone else, so no clan went in before us, sir. But when we got there, the treasury was empty, with no items at all, sir!"
Umm!
"This must be the work of Mou-Seng. He must have known his people could not escape, so he decided to destroy all the treasures so that we couldn't get them."
Zi-Dong-Lei could not think of any other reason why those treasures had gone, except that it was the work of Mou Clan Leader himself. But what he thought was only half right. In reality, Mou Clan Leader did not destroy them but gave them to the young members he had arranged the plan for them to escape. But in the end, those young members were killed by Zheng-Fu, and all the treasures were taken.
"It's a pity that they were destroyed. From the long history of the Mou Clan, they must have stored quite a lot of treasures. If your Zi Clan gets them, I think your clan will definitely be stronger than before."
Zheng-Fu would never tell the truth about this matter. He had invested a lot of capital and effort in dealing with the Mou Clan; those treasures should belong to him. Anyway, he had already given Zi-Dong-Lei a better cultivation technique that allowed him to break through to the seventh level as a reward and had also given it to Elder Zi-Liang. In addition, he had saved Zi Hu-Yin and many other Zi Clan members. This way, it could be considered that they had already reciprocated with each other.
Siiiiiiigh!
"Never mind, since the treasures were already destroyed, thinking about it won't do any good. Besides…, it's good that this is the way it is so that there won't be any problems in the future!" Zi-Dong-Lei sighed before speaking in an understanding manner and without thinking too much. He thought it was good that Mou Clan's treasures were destroyed because everyone who participated in the battle would want a share of them as well. And that might cause chaos again.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
City Governor, sir!!!
City Governor, sir!!!
The four other major clan leaders and other clan leaders who brought their forces to fight also came to Zi-Dong-Lei simultaneously and greeted Zi-Dong-Lei politely and respectfully.
"Thank you all for your hard work! With your bits of help and your forces, I was able to take down the evil Mou Clan. But it's a pity that all of the Mou Clan's treasures were destroyed before we arrived. Otherwise, I would have given you guys those treasures as rewards. But don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing. I'll give you all a fair share of this Mou Clan land."
Zi-Dong-Lei did not know if those people came for this reason, but he had to tell them the truth about the Mou Clan treasury being empty first. He did not care whether they believed his words. In any case, he considered that he had spoken sincerely.
Umm!!!
