Chapter 495: Chapter 493 Mo Shuqian’s Plea

Yue Pengfei sat in a dark long robe, sipping a cup of tea with a middle-aged man standing in front of him.

"Sect Leader, according to our investigation, this young man suddenly appeared in Tianhai a few months ago, with unclear origins and identity,"

the middle-aged man reported.

"Have you investigated for so long only to tell me this much?"

Yue Pengfei’s expression darkened, a flash of anger evident in his eyes.

"Sect Leader, there is more. Through our investigation, we found out that this Xiao Yifeng is very likely the son of the second elder of the Xiao Family who was exiled from the family over a decade ago."

"A member of the Xiao Family!"

A look of shock flitted across Yue Pengfei’s eyes, and his face shifted slightly.

"Now, what should we do, Sect Leader?"

The middle-aged man gazed at Yue Pengfei, awaiting his command.

"Even if he is from the Xiao Family, he must be killed. Others may fear the Xiao Family, but my Flame Gate does not, and since he’s been expelled from his family, it means he is no longer one of them. Even if we kill him, the Xiao Family won’t say a word. Now that we’ve ascertained his identity, let Dai Ming take action and bring me his head!"

Yue Pengfei ordered coldly.

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

The middle-aged man nodded and swiftly exited.

"The Xiao Family..."

Yue Pengfei murmured, his eyes sparkling with light.

——

A new day dawned, and Xiao Yifeng awoke from his cultivation. In front of him lay dozens of dull and energy-depleted Spirit Stones, which he had consumed the night before.

After a night of cultivation and with the continuous help of Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones, Xiao Yifeng finally felt that his realm had improved, and he was extremely close to the middle stage of the Gang Qi Realm.

However, breaking through was not so easy; it required an opportunity, and reaching the Fifth Major Acupoint was even more distant and uncertain.

If Xiao Yifeng managed to unblock the Fifth Major Acupoint, his strength could skyrocket to the Qi Condensation Realm, no longer fearing masters of that realm.

But these Nine Great Apertures became increasingly difficult to unblock as one progressed, and the energy required was immense.

Xiao Yifeng had no idea how long it would take to completely open these Nine Great Apertures.

After getting out of bed and washing up, having eaten breakfast, Xiao Yifeng left some Spirit Stones behind and sent the rest to Kuang Shi and the others so that they could begin absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the stones to enhance their strength.

With these Spirit Stones, their power would grow faster than before, which was exactly what Xiao Yifeng wanted to see.

In the Mo Family, within the grand hall,

the man wearing a golden mask stood at the foremost position, with Mo Sihai’s family standing before him, heads bowed.

"The boy managed to escape in the Underground Mausoleum before; now that he has emerged, he must be eradicated,"

the man’s voice coldly commanded, his eyes flashing with a terrifying intent to kill.

"Sir, the child hasn’t really done anything; please show mercy!"

Mo Shuqian suddenly spoke up.

"Why do you plead for him time and again?"

The masked man locked his gaze on Mo Shuqian, radiating a fearsome authority while Mo Sihai, Mo Shumei, and Mo Shaocong tensed visibly.

"Because he saved my life in Suhang, I want to repay his life-debt!"

Mo Shuqian spoke forthrightly.

"Sparing him is possible since the Holy Lotus has been found. You must return with me to the church to accept the Saintess’ succession; this is the Holy Mother’s instruction,"

the masked man declared solemnly.

Mo Shuqian’s expression flickered, and she hesitated before responding, "Alright!"

"Sister..."

Mo Shumei looked toward Mo Shuqian with concern.

"No need to say anymore,"

Mo Shuqian spoke, her expression indifferent, her gaze as calm as still water.

"Since that’s the case, let’s set out immediately!"

The man in the golden mask said coldly, rising to his feet and walking out.

"Sister, are you really ready to accept the Saintess inheritance? Once you do, that... that’s..."

Mo Shumei looked at Mo Shuqian with a somewhat worried expression.

"If it’s already been fated, what difference does it make if it’s sooner or later?"

Mo Shuqian smiled gently.

"Sigh..."

Mo Sihai let out a small sigh from the side.

In a hidden base somewhere in China, crowds of figures clad in black, with blood letter tattoos on their bodies and wearing bronze, silver, and gold skeleton masks, gathered here.

The thick scent of blood emanated from them, chilling to the bone, like executioners.

All of these individuals were assassins from the internationally renowned Assassin Organization Blood Soul, with several hundred gathered here, most of them being Blood Soul Assassins wearing bronze and silver skeleton masks.

At that moment, two figures appeared in this base. One of the youths wore a blood-red robe, had blood-red hair, a pale face, and a touch of wickedness about him; there was a blood-red glint in his eyes.

Following behind the youth was a man clothed in crimson, wielding a scimitar, his face cold and merciless, his gaze flat and unremarkable, revealing no particular luster.

His presence, however, was permeated with a special aura that made people dare not approach, a sense of dread and alarm.

"Young Master!"

With the arrival of these two, the Blood Soul Assassins present all bowed and addressed the youth in the blood-red robe.

"Young Master!"

At that moment, a man wearing a gold skeleton mask approached, bowing to the youth in the blood-red robe.

"How is the development of Blood Soul progressing?"

The youth spoke with an indifferent tone.

"Young Master, Blood Soul now has nearly a thousand members, spread across various countries. In China alone, there are nearly four hundred members, with over two hundred bronze assassins, almost a hundred silver assassins, and gold assassins reaching thirty to forty,"

the man in the gold skeleton mask reported gravely.

"Good, it’s not in vain that the Sect has cultivated you with great care. Blood Soul is an arrow in the Sect’s hand, ready to be fired at any time,"

the youth in the blood-red robe said coldly.

"We will always follow the Sect’s arrangements!"

The man said respectfully, half-kneeling on the ground.

"Where is Blood Lady?"

The youth abruptly asked.

"Miss Blood Lady is currently cultivating inside, but..."

The man’s eyes flickered for a moment, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"But what, speak!"

The youth said sharply.

"Previously, Blood Soul received a mission to assassinate a man. However, the target was very strong, and others were no match for him. Miss Blood Lady took on the task, but failed."

"Afterward, something seemed off about Miss Blood Lady. She forbade anyone else from laying hands on that man. We sent a master to take action against him, but Miss Blood Lady intercepted, saying that the man could only be killed by her,"

the man reported in detail.

A flicker passed through the eyes of the youth in the blood-red robe, and he walked straight toward the interior.

In a room at this base, the same Blood Lady who had previously attempted to assassinate Xiao Yifeng and ended up being thoroughly touched by him, was cultivating. Suddenly, the door was flung open.
