Chapter 559: 559
Mo Gate was located on the north side of Qingzhou City . It wasnt too large, only taking up an area of three hundred miles . All of Mo Gate was situated atop a large, stone mountain, looking just like an ancient city of stone .
Currently, the core experts of the Mo family were gathered within a large hall .
The only outsider present was Long Chen . Here, he saw a truly world-shaking figure: Mo Gates current master .
This tall, mountain-like elder made him feel an unprecedented pressure . He seemed like a massive volcano . Once he erupted, it could destroy the world .
In front of Mo Yi, Long Chen felt himself to be as miniscule as an ant . That aura from him was even more terrifying than Shui Wuhens .
Little fellows, your display today was really not bad . Youve gained some face for Mo Gate, Mo Yi said to Long Chen and Mo Nian .
You overpraise . All I know how to do is cause a bit of trouble, said Long Chen .
As for Mo Nian, he had originally been standing side by side with Long Chen, but as soon as Mo Yi came over, he involuntarily shivered and took a step back .
Little brat, what are you retreating for?! Mo Yis expression sank and he glared at Mo Nian .
His tall stature and mountain-like imposingness made his glare so intimidating that even Long Chen jumped . Just now, he had been so amicable . How did he turn hostile in just an instant?
The Mo familys experts were astonished not by this change, but by how pleased their old man had been acting . It had to be known that for as long as they had known him, they had rarely seen him speak so pleasantly .
His praise for Mo Nian and Long Chen was unprecedented, but seeing Mo Nian cowering, his fury immediately soared .
I Im afraid youll hit me! I cant beat you so why cant I retreat?! raged Mo Nian .
So, youre saying if you could beat me, youd fight me? Mo Yis expression sank .
Who knew what was going on with Mo Nian today, but with Long Chen by his side, it seemed his guts had grown a great deal, and he shouted, Even ten years arent too late for revenge! I remember every single beating you gave me . There will sooner or later come a day when I repay it all!
The entire hall became silent as everyone looked at Mo Nian oddly .
Hahaha!
Mo Yi suddenly laughed and appeared right in front of Mo Nian . Mo Nian reflexively raised his arms to protect his head .
But unexpectedly, Mo Yi just patted him on the shoulder and praised, Good! I suppose you have at least a slight backbone! Ill wait to see whether you can get your revenge within the next ten years .
Mo Nian was stunned . It seemed that in all his living memory, he had never received such nice words from his grandfather .
Dont just stupidly stand there . Hurry up and eat! Today, Nian-ers friend has come, and well take Nian-ers place to hold a welcoming celebration for Long Chen! laughed Mo Yi .
He was extremely happy today . He was smiling more than he had in the past few decades .
Long Chen noticed that all those who could sit in this place were Mo Gates core experts . They were all Xiantian experts, and he was shocked to see there were over three hundred of them .
They really were worthy of being Qing Prefectures ruler . This was an overwhelming strength . However, Long Chen noticed that Mo Nian, their junior gate master, didnt seem to have any special status here .
Only after he asked Mo Nian did he learn that these people were all Mo Nians seniors . The only reason he even had the qualifications to eat with them was because of his status .
Mo Gate cared a great deal about seniority and strength . Mo Nians title of junior gate master didnt give them any special feeling . If he relied on his status to act arrogant in front of them, then these people would immediately give him a beating . Just mentioning that made Mo Nian furious .
Usually, a familys junior master would be above the masses . But instead, he was often put in his place . It was truly stifling .
However, the leader of Mo Gate had already said that junior master was just a title . If he wanted to convince everyone, he needed enough strength .
But these people here were all Xiantian experts . Mo Nian could only be suppressed . Mo Yi especially had already broken Mo Nians courage in that regard, and each time he saw his grandfather, he would cower .
Dad, tell me, what drugs did those three idiots take today? Even after it reached that point, they still retreated . Once everyone had eaten their fill, Mo Yunshan asked the question that had been on his mind .
Mo Yi smiled slightly . According to their previous arrangements, they probably would have tried to have a large battle with us in the near future to test our power .
However, Long Chens arrival skewed their plans . That Luo Yingxiongs son ended up being killed, and so he went to go find Long Chen .
The other two should have received the news and decided that they werent prepared enough . However, that shouldnt be the main reason . Instead, its because the person behind them ordered them to retreat .
Do you know who that person targeting us is? asked Mo Yunshan .
There are quite a few people who have past grievances with our Mo Gates ancestors . Back then, when we withdrew from the ancient family alliance, we offended many people .
Now, tens of thousands of years have passed . Our Mo family has always been low-key, letting those powers believe that weve declined . Now they want to hit us while were down .
Hehe, how laughable . Although I didnt see who they were, I sensed their aura .
You dont need to worry . They probably wont personally take action . Its just a bunch of senseless tricks . All you have to remember is to act as you should act . Theres no need to have any misgivings . Even if the heavens collapse, Ill be there to keep them up . Mo Yis voice was full of unconcealable domineeringness .
Perhaps it is destined for Long Chen to have come here at this time . In a few days, when its time for the ancestral inheritance, Long Chen can enter with the others, said Mo Yi .
His words surprised everyone, and one person said, But the quota to enter is only ten, and theyve long since been taken
Give Mo Xis spot to Long Chen . His qualifications are the most lacking, and even if he entered, thered be no hope for him . Even Nian-er only has a fifty percent chance of succeeding, let alone him . Its better to let Long Chen test his luck, said Mo Yi .
But Long Chen isnt a member of the Mo family . Isnt this inappropriate?
Theres nothing inappropriate about it . Ive already said my wish, so just obediently shut up, said Mo Yi .
Long Chen was confused, and he asked Mo Nian, What is this ancestral inheritance?
Mo Nian whispered, Brat, youre very lucky . This ancestral inheritance is something left behind by the top experts our Mo family has produced . Before they died, they sealed their Heavenly Dao seed within them so that they could be absorbed by their descendants .
Those mighty experts were all Celestials . As for Celestials well, forget about it . Even if I explained it, you wouldnt understand . In any case, they are rivalless masters of being badass . If you can obtain that inheritance, your badassedness would shake the heavens .
Celestials? Long Chen was startled . Had Yin Wushang also gained such an inheritance?
Our Mo family was once glorious to the peak . Regrettably, I dont know why, but we later declined . We only managed to retain ten statues of our ancestors . Unfortunately, even after all these years, no one has been able to inherit the Heavenly Dao seeds inside them .
To inherit a Heavenly Dao seed requires you to have a strong affinity with it as well as a shocking talent . I feel like you have a high chance, said Mo Nian .
I feel like you should give the opportunity to someone else . I most likely wont be up to it . Long Chen shook his head .
What kind of joke was that? He was someone expelled by the Heavenly Daos . How could that Heavenly Dao seed allow itself to be inherited by him?
You should tell your old man . I really wont be capable, and its a shame to waste it, advised Long Chen .
Tch, are you trying to get me beaten? You know how tyrannical that man is . The things he decides, no one can change . Even if you dont want to go, you have to go, whispered Mo Nian .
Tch, now he had to go even if he didnt want to go? Long Chen bitterly smiled inside .
You dont need to worry . This time, we have the Hidden Ground Spiders core . Thatll let our Mo familys alchemists refine the Nine Revolution Dao-Heart Pill . Itll greatly increase our chances of succeeding, said Mo Nian .
Your Mo familys alchemists? What quality of Nine Revolution Dao-Heart Pill can they refine? asked Long Chen .
It seems that if their luck is good, they can refine a one-ring high grade medicinal pill, said Mo Nian, unsure .
One-ring? Then you should just give the core to me . Ill refine it in a way thats not so wasteful, said Long Chen .
You? Mo Nian was doubtful, but he still gave the core to him .
You can be at ease, said Long Chen, patting his own chest .
The Nine Revolution Dao-Heart Pill was a fifth tier medicinal pill . However, now that Long Chen had reached Meridian Opening, his Spiritual Strength had become even stronger, so it wasnt a problem .
After finishing their meal, Mo Yi held a meeting with everyone . That had nothing to do with Long Chen and Mo Nian, so the two slipped away .
Mo Nian, I still feel like this matter is a bit inappropriate, said Long Chen with hesitation .
When did you become like this? This matter was decided by the old man, and no one can change it, said Mo Nian .
This probably wont be good for your familys internal harmony . After all, anyone would be mad that their spot was taken, said Long Chen .
Youre overthinking it . This inheritance isnt so easy to obtain . Not one person has obtained it in tens of thousands of years .
My father said that even with my talent, I only have a fifty percent chance, and thats already incredibly high amongst all our past generations . Other people are basically just extras, and they all know that . Its just a formality . Dont worry, our Mo familys people are all magnanimous men . Mo Nian laughed .
How come these words sound completely different from your mouth than from uncle Mo? Long Chen also laughed .
Tch, what are you implying? Are you trying to say Im not manly enough? Then should we find somewhere to have a little competition? raged Mo Nian .
Tch, if you have that much energy, then you should go kill some more enemies . What competition are you planning to have with me? Long Chen shook his head .
Long Chen, today, youve given me a wake-up call . I really did have too many misgivings . Starting today, Ill return to my true self .
Wait here . Ill go to my grandfathers private room and steal some jugs of good wine . Let me say, those are the true fine wine . Theyve all been stored in cellars for over a thousand years, hehe Mo Nian actually involuntarily began to salivate .
Alright, then go . But make sure not to take the one you pissed in back then, reminded Long Chen .
. . .
Once Mo Nian left, Long Chen just strolled around Mo Nians small courtyard . The walls of his room had been carved into statues . He was in the midst of examining them when an icy voice rang out .
Who are you?
