Chapter 1249 - 1240: Great Elder Su Mao
For the confusion among the Du Family members, Mo Wangchen didn’t say much more.
A Qianyuan Sect without any Ancient God’s might overseeing it was naturally nothing to fear. If they really wanted to come, they were welcome to try.
Only after Wang Yuanfei and others left did the crowd around the Du Family gradually disperse.
However, because of what just happened.
At this moment, within Wanhong City, nearly everyone’s attention was focused on the Du Family.
They were all clearly aware that Wang Yuan was defeated, but with the Qianyuan Sect backing the Wang Family, they would not give up easily.
As of now, the Du Family’s attitude towards Mo Wangchen could be described as extremely respectful.
By nightfall, the Du Family hosted a banquet. Mo Wangchen was invited to the main seat, while Du Qianhai and Du Xinyue sat beside him, a clear sign of how much respect the Du Family had for Mo Wangchen at this moment.
Having even defeated Wang Yuan, who had stepped into the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Mo Wangchen’s strength was undoubtedly considered top-tier among the super experts in all of Ning State.
Moreover, his mysterious origins suggested that he could very well be a Saint Heir level prodigy from a Sacred Land or Ancient family from the Land of Desolate.
How could the Du Family neglect such a figure with such a background?
Midway through the feast, Mo Wangchen excused himself and returned to the residence the Du Family had arranged for him.
In a small courtyard, Mo Wangchen sat cross-legged, bathing in the moonlight.
Previously, in that Time Channel, he had encountered a void storm, and injuries within his body had yet to heal completely.
Though the Qianyuan Sect was of no real concern, it was sensible to heal his injuries first, a beneficial course of action for Mo Wangchen.
"Boom!"
The next day, nearing noon, suddenly from outside the Du Family’s entrance, there was a loud noise.
A powerful aura rapidly rose, and a Void Giant Hand appeared, smashing the Du Family’s gate to pieces, rocks flying everywhere, leaving chaos and ruin, leveled to the ground.
"Who dares to injure the Elders of my Qianyuan Sect? Show yourself to this old man!"
Soon followed a booming, angry shout that echoed throughout all of Wanhong City.
"Here they come!"
"Has the Qianyuan Sect’s strong reinforcements finally arrived?"
Instantly, the city was in turmoil, with everyone swiftly heading towards the direction of the Du Family.
"Yesterday, the white-clothed youth who defeated Wang Yuan, I wonder who he really is. Across the entire Ning State, among the younger generation, those with such strength are very few indeed."
"That person possesses a Divine Status, surely of an extraordinary origin. Yesterday, Du Qianhai called him ’Little Friend Mo’, suggesting this person’s surname is Mo. But within Ning State, there aren’t any strong geniuses with the surname Mo, and throughout the Ming Land, there doesn’t seem to be any ancient families by that surname either?"
People talked among themselves, and in less than half an hour, countless figures gathered around the Du Family—cultivators who had been alarmed by the commotion.
"This person openly challenges the Qianyuan Sect; I wonder what confidence he has. As one of the three great Sacred Lands, the Qianyuan Sect must capture him, or it will be hard for them to maintain their footing in Ning State in the future."
"What a powerful formation, as many as a dozen Heavenly Immortal Realm masters have arrived. This is the foundation one expects from the Qianyuan Sect, one of the three great Sacred Lands."
Soon, everyone noticed that above the Du Family entrance, in midair stood over a dozen figures, each with a strong aura, clearly having reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Across the entire Ning State, besides the three great Sacred Lands, what other force could have such an imposing lineup?
"It’s Su Mao, the Great Elder of the Qianyuan Sect! One of the few Late Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm experts within Ning State!"
"To think he came in person, today the Du Family is in trouble, and that youth with the surname Mo is surely doomed!"
Someone recognized the white-robed elder at the forefront among the dozen or so Qianyuan Sect strong reinforcements.
This elder was named Su Mao, the Great Elder of the Qianyuan Sect, possessing Late Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, renowned throughout Ning State.
"Great Elder, I suggest we attack directly and capture both Du Qianhai and that youth with the surname Mo for the sect to judge later."
Among the crowd, the two elders who had appeared with Wang Yuanfei the previous day were present, and at this moment, wearing cold smiles. Since even the Great Elder had personally come, today the Du Family would surely be exterminated completely; as for Mo Wangchen, once captured and taken back to Qianyuan Sect, his Divine Status could be extracted, and he could be slowly tortured to death afterward.
Only by doing so could they vent their anger!
"It seems what I said yesterday was ignored..."
At this moment, from within the Du Family, Mo Wangchen’s calm voice drifted out. His body rose, flying up to face Su Mao and the more than a dozen Heavenly Immortal Realm experts from Qianyuan Sect alone.
"Great Elder, it was him yesterday who not only injured us but also stole the Wang Family Head’s Burning Spirit Sword!"
Seeing Mo Wangchen appear, those two elders hurriedly spoke up, their eyes flashing with cold light, eager to rush up and kill Mo Wangchen immediately.
"You told me this child possesses a Divine Status; is that true?"
Su Mao squinted his eyes, examining Mo Wangchen up and down, and asked the two elders behind him.
"Absolutely true, yesterday he used Great Dao Divine Power, and if he didn’t have a Divine Status, how could he have withstood the Wang Family’s Burning Spirit Sword?"
Hearing this, Su Mao nodded, then lightly commanded, "Surround the Du Family, don’t let anyone escape."
"Yes!"
The over a dozen Heavenly Immortal Realm experts who accompanied him replied in unison, then dispersed around, forming a certain formation, sealing the Du Family completely.
"This is troublesome now..."
Inside the Du Family, seeing this situation, everyone’s faces became extremely grave, and Du Qianhai frowned deeply. Facing the formidable Qianyuan Sect, the Du Family really had no resistance power at all.
"Xinyue, later you take Little Friend Mo and flee amidst the chaos. Today, the Du Family will likely face calamity, but at any cost, we must ensure the Du family’s lineage is not extinguished. Once you’re safe, you must leave Ning State, change your name, and never think of seeking revenge. Understand?"
Du Qianhai looked at Du Xinyue with a solemn expression as he instructed her.
The Qianyuan Sect was too powerful, being one of the three great Sacred Lands within Ning State, it was a colossal force not to be shaken. He only hoped his daughter could survive safely after departing and continue the Du family lineage. As for revenge, that might never be possible in this lifetime.
"Father..."
Du Xinyue’s face was anxious, clearly unwilling to abandon her family, "I won’t leave, I want to stay. Later, put all your effort into ensuring Brother Mo escapes successfully."
"Heh, with this old man here today, no one will escape!"
The conversation inside the Du Family, though not loud, was heard by all the Heavenly Immortal Realm experts present, and Su Mao sneered. As he spoke, his Late Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation rapidly surged within him.
