Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Retrieving the Golden Bone, Provoking the Ancient Martial Family

"Where is the ’Golden Bone’?" Tang Yun’s delicate eyebrows knitted slightly. Even her still-charming face turned icy, her tone left no room for doubt.

"Golden Bone?" The Lin siblings exchanged a glance, both showing shock. Finally, Lin Feiyan said with her blood-red pupils wide, "Miss Tang, when these uninvited guests arrived, they shouted for the Family Head to hand over the ’Golden Bone.’ Could it be that the Mo Family really got their hands on the ’Golden Bone’?"

"Sigh."

Tang Yun let out a sigh of turbid breath, looking at Mo Youshi’s cold corpse. She lamented, "That’s right. Just this morning, the Heavenly Net Evil God delivered a piece of ’Golden Bone’ to the Family Head and signed a contract guaranteed by the Black and White Beauties of Futu, specifying compensation. Afterward, the Family Head agreed to settle this matter without seeking further revenge against Xiao Zheng."

"Oh?"

The Lin Sisters looked at each other, seeing a hint of dissatisfaction in each other’s eyes. We siblings have wasted half our lifetimes protecting the Mo Family, and yet, the Mo couple kept such important matters secret from us. This is a sign of mistrust.

Enough. After this, we will part ways. Our many years of protection have repaid Miss Tang’s kindness from the past.

Having not returned to the Lin Family for many years, it’s time to go back and see how the younger generation is doing.

With this in mind, Lin Xiaotian let out a sigh and said indifferently, "Miss Tang, you once made it clear that our duty as siblings was to protect the Mo Family Patriarch. Now that he has passed away, we will take our leave."

After finishing, he left with Lin Feiyan without looking back.

"You guys... are too pragmatic. Is it ’out of sight, out of mind’ for you?"

The members of the Mo Family were filled with righteous indignation, blocking Lin siblings and voicing their displeasure.

"Let it be! The karma is resolved, staying will only add to our troubles." Tang Yun took a deep look at the Lin siblings, the Naihe Double Killers from the Ancient Martial Family, probably holding a grudge for being kept in the dark about the ’Golden Bone.’ She then waved her hand lightly, "Let them go, do not hinder them!"

"Yes, Madam!" The clan members stepped aside, watching as the Lin siblings departed.

After their departure, Tang Yun’s face grew darker, and she commanded unquestionably, "Send the order down!"

"Every single one of my Mo Family Members must spare no effort in manpower, financial resources, and material resources to thoroughly investigate the murder of the Family Head. Especially who spread the rumors of the ’Golden Bone,’ attracting all these unwanted guests. I refuse to believe this is merely a coincidence."

"Madam, could it be that the Evil God acted in secret, killing the Family Head?" speculated one of the clan members.

Tang Yun, however, remained unmoved and calmly said, "Everything must be supported by evidence, how else can we convince others? The Evil God Xiao Zheng has come to apologize, and as guaranteed by Futu, delivered the ’Golden Bone’ as compensation. The Family Head also chose to forgive him; everything was seamless, leaving no flaws to be found."

...

In the wilderness.

The Lin siblings, having left the Mo Family, paused to rest.

Lin Xiaotian, with his dead fish eyes swirling in doubt, asked, "Feiyan, do you think Mo Youshi’s death could have been the work of the Evil God Xiao Zheng?"

"Big brother, that’s really hard to say."

Lin Feiyan’s white hair fluttered in the wind as she spoke with forlorn sadness, "Even if it was his doing, what can be done now? It only goes to show that good leads to good, evil leads to evil. The retribution is not absent; it’s just a matter of time."

"Indeed, the Mo Family, relying on their connections with a few Ancient Martial Families and having people in the court, have become lawless to the point of bullying men and dominating women. Not to mention anything else, Mo Youshi alone had killed hundreds of young virgins, claiming to collect Yin to supplement Yang and concoct life-extending pills. Utter nonsense."

"Sigh, truly, what they deserved. Such a sinful act!"

Lin Feiyan sighed softly, supporting her elder brother as they slowly walked away into the distance.

Meanwhile.

In Nan City’s Red Blood Hall headquarters.

A scar-faced, fierce-looking old man chuckled as he strode forth with unbridled satisfaction, "Mo Youshi, you’ve finally died. Good riddance!"

"Boss, why would you say something like that?" Lin Xing, also known as Desperate Sanlang, asked with confusion and puzzlement.

"It’s nothing! Nothing at all!"

This elderly man was none other than the head of the Red Blood Hall—Wang Laohu. His mouth said "it’s nothing," but his expression betrayed him, filled with wild joy.

In his heart, he muttered: Oh, Mo Youshi, oh Mo Youshi, even you have today. Back then, coveting my sister’s beauty, and upon her refusal, you actually slaughtered my entire family. So hateful, so killable! Little did you know, the Wang Family still has descendants alive. Truly, the heavens have eyes. All those years of hiding our name and identity were worth it.

Thinking this, he said with a beaming smile, "Lin San, didn’t you complain about Nan City being a dry well? What do you think about Jiangcheng?"

"Jiangcheng?" Lin Xing’s pupils shrank suddenly as he exclaimed in shock, "Boss, that’s Mo Family territory. We can’t afford to offend them."

"Psh! Can’t afford to offend?"

Wang Laohu scoffed, disdainfully saying, "Lin San, you are a descendant of an Ancient Martial Family, what’s there to fear? Let me tell you, your uncle and your aunt have already left the Mo Family and washed their hands of it. What do you have to worry about?"

"Oh?" Lin Xing paused but still shook his head, "Boss, you are not aware. Even if the Lin Family has renounced the Mo Family, the stance of other Ancient Martial Families hasn’t been declared yet. Especially the mother of the Mo Family Patriarch—Tang Yun. She was once a peerless figure of the Tang Sect. We can’t afford to offend her."

"That doesn’t matter!"

Wang Laohu waved his hand indifferently, "Humans will find a way. You pick some elite brothers to form a small team and tentatively infiltrate Jiangcheng. We’ll nibble away at it step by step. One day, Jiangcheng will fall into the pocket of our Red Blood Hall."

"All right, Boss. I’ll do my best!"

Lin Xing fist-saluted and left.

Finally free of his concerns, Wang Laohu unleashed a hearty laugh. Then, with tears streaming down his face, he knelt to the west and sobbed, "Father, mother, sister, and all my Wang Family brothers and sisters, do you see this? Our enemy is dead, and you can now rest in peace with a smile in the world below."

...

For several days in a row.

The entire martial world of Huaxia and the Jianghu were in turmoil, with rumors flying everywhere about the true cause of Mo Youshi’s death—endless speculation.

Although some were certain it was Xiao Zheng’s doing, who would dare to provoke the Heavenly Net Evil God? Apart from Ancient Martial Families, no one could withstand his edge!

...

In Zhonghai City, at the secret base of Sky Net.

Having survived a bloody slaughter, the three brothers had finally returned.

After experiencing the formidable martial might of Mo Youshi, all three brothers felt a sense of frustration in their hearts.

To alleviate this unfavorable atmosphere, Xiao Zheng spent several days living freely and recklessly with Long Qie and Titan.

At the moment, both Titan and Long Qie’s spirits had settled, and they were summarizing and comprehending the lessons from this recent brawl, striving to understand and improve upon their shortcomings.

Xiao Zheng, with a cup of coffee in hand, drank quietly, lost in thought.

According to Long Qie and Titan, they should completely uproot the Mo Family, leaving no survivors.

But Xiao Zheng hadn’t done so. Why?

Because even if he killed off the Mo Family, there were others behind them. Those were the elusive Ancient Martial Families, especially the Tang Sect.

If he had brazenly taken out Mo Youshi, it would have had no effect on him, but it would have brought great danger to those close to him.

One can be a thief for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against theft for a thousand days.

It is impossible to guard against completely, which is why Xiao Zheng chose to kill Mo Youshi and spare the Mo Family, creating an appropriate deterrent, stopping just short of going too far.
