Chapter 6 Relics

"By the way, Elder Xuan Yu, there is one more thing I forgot to mention to you." Speaking of Mo Lang, Mo Zhi Yao suddenly remembered and hurriedly recounted the events that took place during the day at Shan Yuan Building.

Mo Zhiyao was taken aback upon hearing this; he had previously been an ignored waste, so what matters in the clan could possibly be related to him

Mo Zhiyao understood that Elder Xuanyu was afraid he would act impulsively to seek revenge once he learned who his enemy was. However, as a son, it would be unreasonable not to know who the enemy that killed his father was

Mo Zhiyao shook his head and said, "Elder Xuanyu, I will only stay for one day this time. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's passing. After I pay my respects, I will take back my father's belongings and then I will leave."

At that time, Mo Zhiyao only knew that his father, Mo Cang, had gone out to carry out a mission and had met with an unfortunate death; he was completely unaware of the existence of any relics.

"It's nothing, I just got a bit emotional thinking about my father." Mo Zhiyao quickly brushed it off, then turned to Elder Xuan Yu and asked, "Elder Xuan Yu, please tell me, who exactly killed my father? As his son, it would be too unfilial of me not to even know who my enemy is."

Father's relic? Mo Zhiyou's expression suddenly changed dramatically, and he stood up abruptly, looking at Elder Xuan Yu, his voice trembling slightly. When did this happen?

Hmm. Elder Xuan Yu nodded, his eyes also filled with anger

Mo Zhiyao has been unable to condense human patterns since childhood, and Elder Xuan Yu's heartache is no less than that of Mo Cang. At this moment, seeing Mo Zhiyao actually able to condense human patterns, he is overwhelmed with excitement, his voice even choked with emotion

Upon seeing Elder Xuan Yu, Mo Zhi Yao did not notice the change in his arm, and he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly retracting his left arm and brushing down his sleeve.

The surprise of their first meeting caught Elder Xuan Yu off guard, and when he looked over at that moment, it left him utterly astonished

Hearing that Mo Zhiyao had actually broken Mo Heng's arms, Elder Xuan Yu felt a mix of joy and concern. The joy stemmed from the fact that Mo Zhiyao's strength was unexpectedly formidable; with the power of three Dao patterns, he had managed to inflict such severe damage on Mo Heng, who had five Dao patterns and had advanced to the Qi Gathering Realm. The concern arose from the deepening enmity between the two families; with Mo Heng severely injured, how could Mo Lang possibly let this go? It seems that retrieving Mo Cang's relics will require considerable effort and complications.

Mo Zhiyao did not speak, but the smile at the corner of her mouth was somewhat enchanting. If you wish to covet my father's legacy, Mo Lang, your beautiful dream is likely to remain unfulfilled. Mo Zhiyao immediately decided that after paying respects to her father tomorrow, she would pay a visit to the Cangzhentang to see what Mo Lang had to say.

Raising his arm, his fingers gently brushed over the three lines on Mo Zhiyao's arm, and a glimmer of light flickered in Elder Xuan Yu's eyes

Upon sensing the aura emanating from Mo Zhiyao, Elder Xuan Yu's expression suddenly changed. In less than a year, Mo Zhiyao seemed to have transformed into a different person, exuding a chilling demeanor, accompanied by a sharpness akin to a blade.

"What is your breath, Mo Zhiyao?" Elder Xuan Yu furrowed his brow, feeling that there was something strange about Mo Zhiyao, but he could not pinpoint what was amiss

Elder Xuan Yu patted Mo Zhi Yao on the shoulder, signaling him to sit back down in his chair. After that, he nodded, his face showing signs of anger and indignation.

Mo Zhiyao was taken aback, realizing that in his emotional agitation, he had inadvertently revealed a trace of the murderous aura of the magic patterns, attracting the attention of Elder Xuan Yu. He quickly controlled his mind and calmed his state of being, causing the darkness on his arm to fade away.

That was two years ago. The news of your father's death and his belongings were brought back to the clan by the tribesmen who accompanied him. Elder Xuan Yu's expression became somewhat unnatural as he looked at Mo Zhi Yao. After your father's belongings were brought back, they were placed in the clan's Treasure Hall. I was concerned that seeing them would remind you of him, so I planned to wait for a while, until your emotions settled a bit, before telling you and accompanying you to retrieve them.

Elder Xuan Yu, are you saying that my disappearance has been known to the clan, including the clan leader and other high-ranking members of the family?

"Years ago, your father was murdered, and the relics he left behind were brought back at great peril by the clansmen who accompanied him. They are now housed in the Treasure Hall of the clan." Elder Xuanyu looked at Mo Zhiyao, his voice somewhat somber

Mo Zhiyao felt an immense weight in his heart. Indeed, how happy his father would be to see that he was no longer a useless person.

Mo Zhiyao displayed a lack of interest upon hearing this. The only matters within the clan that could draw his attention were the ancestral tablet of his father in the ancestral hall and Elder Xuan Yu. As for other affairs, what concern were they to me

I naturally oppose it vehemently, arguing with reason, and refuse to let him succeed. However, Mo Lang is no longer what he used to be; his influence within the clan has greatly increased, and with only my solitary opposition, my strength is insufficient. At this point, Elder Xuan Yu's expression darkened to the point of almost dripping with water

Mo Zhiyao was taken aback upon hearing this, not understanding Elder Xuanyu's meaning. Soon, his expression turned extremely grim, and he said coldly, "Could it be that someone is eyeing my father's relics?"

Hearing Mo Zhiyao speak this way, Elder Xuanyu's expression grew even more remorseful. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said: "Child, Grandpa Xuanyu is sorry for you"

In the year you have been away, quite a few things have happened at home

If Elder Xuan Yu were to look at the tattoo on Mo Zhi Yao's arm at this moment, he would be astonished to discover that beneath the silver glow, a profound darkness is emerging.

There is a matter that concerns you

Elder Xuan Yu sensed that Mo Zhi Yao's aura had returned to normal, so he did not think too much of it. He sighed and said: "Zhi Yao, it is not that I am unwilling to tell you, but your father's death is related to some secrets within the clan. Moreover, you are still young; although you have successfully condensed the human pattern, you have not yet reached the Qi Gathering realm. It is too early for you to seek revenge for your father."

Since Mo Lang replaced your father two years ago and ascended to the position of elder, he has been diligently managing affairs and has won over quite a number of people. Among the twelve elders, seven have ambiguous ties with him, and now his influence within the clan is substantial, second only to the clan leader Mo Wanjun and the grand elder Mo Tianyuan. Elder Xuan Yu sighed and said, "Currently, the clan's Treasure Hall is under his jurisdiction; otherwise, he would not be so fervently advocating for the submission of your father's relics to the clan."

Elder Xuan Yu nodded, finding this to be reasonable. However, even so, it made him regard Mo Zhi Yao with newfound respect, filled with great surprise

Mo Heng had never expected that I, a former waste, would still possess such strength. Underestimating me, he momentarily let his guard down, allowing me to seize the initiative. Taking advantage of his slow reaction, I struck with great force, which ultimately led to his serious injury. Mo Zhiyao felt distressed; the events of the day would inevitably reach Elder Xuan Yu's ears by tomorrow at the latest. It was impossible to remain silent about it. However, he could not reveal the "Demonic Art" either, so he had to think creatively and provide a vague explanation.

Seeing that Mo Zhiyao no longer entangled himself with this issue, Elder Xuanyu's face broke into a smile of relief

"How far away is it? You said you would break Mo Heng's arms? But Mo Heng has condensed five patterns and is said to have broken through to the Qi Gathering realm, just today emerging from seclusion. How, how did you accomplish that?" Elder Xuan Yu asked in astonishment.

Mo Zhiyao shook his head and said sincerely: "Elder Xuanyu, you have always regarded me as your own grandson. The reason you didn't tell me before was also for my own good. How could Zhiyao blame you?"

Indeed, that despicable scoundrel Mo Lang has long been coveting your father's relics. For the past year, he has kept a low profile, but ever since your disappearance, he has shown his true colors, creating all sorts of obstacles with the intention of seizing them. He claims that since you have gone missing, these items should naturally belong to the clan, but in reality, he merely seeks to profit from them! He speaks so pompously, truly shameless!

What! Elder Xuanyu's face first showed a moment of astonishment, which was then immediately replaced by wild joy. He suddenly stood up, so excited that his figure trembled slightly.

Child, I never expected you to truly succeed. If your father were still alive and saw this, I wonder how delighted he would be. Elder Xuanyu's words were filled with endless sighs.

Mo Zhiyao, feeling unwilling, opened his mouth to prophesy, but was interrupted by Elder Xuan Yu with a wave of his hand

Elder Xuan Yu, how exactly did my father die? You only told me that he went out on a mission and died in failure, but you refuse to elaborate. Back then, I couldn't even condense a human pattern, so it was understandable that you didn't tell me. Now that I am no longer a useless person, there are some things you should let me know, right?" Mo Zhi Yao's eyes were filled with a fierce light, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his entire being. Now that I am no longer a useless person, there are some things you should let me know, right?" Mo Zhi Yao's eyes were filled with a fierce light, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his entire being.

Little did you know that your mysterious disappearance a year ago caused this matter to be delayed. Elder Xuan Yu stood up, walked in front of Mo Zhi Yao, his face showing a look of guilt, and said: "Child, you won't blame me for concealing this matter from you, will you?"

Mo Zhiyao hesitated to speak, ultimately remaining silent, merely nodding. Elder Xuanyu was right; his cultivation was too weak, and he had no voice within the clan, let alone the ability to seek revenge for his father

"Hehe, what a good clan!" In Mo Zhiyao's eyes, an endless storm was brewing. Previously, he thought that the higher-ups in the clan were unaware of his disappearance, and that was fine; being a useless person, it was normal for no one to pay attention to him. However, he never expected that not only did the clan leader and the others know about his disappearance, but they also remained indifferent and were even preparing to seize his father's relics. How could Mo Zhiyao not be furious?

"Child, I promise you, as long as you possess the strength for revenge, I will certainly tell you about the events of that year, and I will never conceal it again. As for now, you should focus on your cultivation. Child, you should know better than anyone that without strength, not to mention avenging your father, even survival becomes exceedingly difficult. Everything is based on strength!" Elder Xuan Yu said, gently patting Mo Zhi Yao's shoulder, speaking earnestly and sincerely. "Child, you should know better than anyone that without strength, not to mention avenging your father, even survival becomes exceedingly difficult. Everything is based on strength!" Elder Xuan Yu said, gently patting Mo Zhi Yao's shoulder, speaking earnestly and sincerely.

However, you have not only returned, but have also condensed the human pattern. I wonder what else Mo Lang has to say! Elder Xuan Yu's eyes were filled with a surge of fierce energy, secretly deciding that, by all means, he would help Mo Zhi Yao retrieve the relics of Mo Cang.

Elder Xuan Yu never married in his lifetime and has no offspring. He shares a deep friendship with Mo Cang, and due to being significantly older than Mo Cang, he has long regarded Mo Zhi Yao as his own grandson.

"Regardless of the circumstances, you have severely injured Mo Heng, and Mo Lang will definitely not let this go easily. He will surely seek revenge on you and will do everything in his power to obstruct you from retrieving your father's belongings." Elder Xuan Yu furrowed his brow but still comforted Mo Zhi Yao, saying, "However, you need not worry too much. From now on, you will stay here with me, and I do not believe that Mo Lang would dare to act recklessly in my presence. Moreover, retrieving your father's belongings is a rightful claim, and no one can say otherwise. Furthermore, Mo Heng has committed numerous despicable acts over the years. If Mo Lang dares to go too far, I will go to see the clan leader and see who will ultimately face the heavier punishment!"
