Volume 1: Xiao City, Xiao Family, Xiao Chen Chapter 104: Trembling with Fear

  "Die, you little brat!" Mo Li's eyes gleamed with a few strands of sinister intent, and he was excited to be able to strangle Xiao Chen in his own hands. "You master and disciple will absolutely not be able to suppress me, go die! Go die!" Mo Li roared viciously in his heart. Upon hearing the many elders' and guardians' cries of alarm, not only did he not hold back, but instead frantically poured his internal energy into it, causing the Xuan Yu ruler's size to suddenly swell once more, accompanied by a whooshing wind sound, before crashing down with a loud boom.

  If it were someone else, Mo Li would have made his move by now, and without any preparation, it would be difficult to escape. But Xiao Chen had always been on guard against the former, and the other's every move was under his eyes. So when Mo Li made his move, he also moved at the same time.

  Hurry!

  Xiao Chen's heart was cold and he sneered inwardly. He pinched out a spell with his hand and pointed it forward, striking the spot in an instant.

  He was young, even as a third-grade alchemy master, his cultivation could be compared to that of a mid-term foundation-building cultivator. However, the many elderly guardians in Luoyun Valley did not have much reverence for him. Today was a good opportunity to severely intimidate these people.

  A flower appeared before everyone's eyes, and as Xiao Chen fell, a flash of light seemed to appear beside him, only to disappear instantly.

  "Gasp!"

  Just as everyone was puzzled, Mo Li's eyes suddenly burst forth with endless horror, his mouth spewing out large mouthfuls of blood, his face deathly pale, and his breath instantly weakening. And the Xuan Yu Chi, which had been nourished by his heart for many years, also let out a mournful cry at this moment, its spiritual light disappearing in an instant, falling to the ground and trembling twice before becoming completely silent, clearly having become a useless object.

  Hiss!

  Those elderly protectors who were rapidly approaching looked shocked, couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air, and their eyes looking at Xiao Chen were filled with reverence. Only to see that the Xuan Yu ruler had a small hole the size of an embroidery needle in its center, and the treasure's body was thoroughly penetrated.

  "Mo Lian's Elder's Xuan Yu Chi was made from the thousand-year-old Xuan Yu from the depths of the North Sea, and also added Geng Jin, Tai Yi Tie Jing and other materials. It is extremely hard, although it belongs to the top-grade spiritual instrument, its hardness is not inferior to that of a low-grade magic treasure. At this moment, it was suddenly broken and discarded... This Xiao Chen Elder's hiding is extremely deep, and he actually has a magic treasure on his body!"

  "What a terrifying attack power! If this thing were used on us, I'm afraid we would undoubtedly die!"

  "Xiao Changlao has this object in hand, under the Golden Elixir Cultivator, no one is his match!"

  "This is bad, this kid actually has such a treasure in his hands. If he accidentally kills me now, I'm afraid that with the talent and cultivation he has shown so far, our sect will not make things difficult for him!" Mo Li's mind was racing like a mad dog, and his face showed a few hints of panic. "For now, the only thing to do is to quickly bring the Sect Master and Medicine Daozi here, otherwise I'm done for!"

  This Mo Li was also a decisive person, at the same time, he didn't hesitate to take out a jade slip from his sleeve, and with a faint flash of spiritual light on his hand, he crushed it completely.

  The next moment, everyone only felt a tightness on their body, and the two strong spiritual powers of the Hou Mountain burst into the sky with an astonishing speed, rushing towards this place.

  Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly, and he smiled coldly. After a slight hesitation, he slowly put down the murderous intention. After all, Qingyunzi and the others had already been startled, and if he insisted on killing this person, the two old men would not say anything, but they would inevitably feel a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

  In the blink of an eye, two figures appeared simultaneously in the air above the Lingxian Platform, their auras as deep and turbulent as the ocean, instantly tearing apart the wispy white clouds above them.

  Qingyunzi saw the situation in the field, and his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly. "What exactly happened? How could Mo Li elder crush the most critical transmission jade slip of our sect?"

  "Please, Patriarch Zhenren, do justice for me!" Seeing the two of them arrive, Mo Li let out a sigh of relief and immediately knelt down on the ground. In a hoarse voice, he said: "Xiao Chen is the murderer who killed my grandson Tian Sun that day! I originally wanted to take action to kill this beast, but he actually had an extremely powerful treasure in his hand, easily destroying my Xuan Yu ruler, and even wanted to take action to behead me. It was only when I was in a desperate situation that I crushed the jade slip, hoping that you two ancestors would do justice for me!"

  The two Qingyunzi listened and furrowed their brows even more tightly, exchanging a glance, both seeing the worried look in each other's eyes. If Mo Li's words were not true, it would be fine, but if they were... Above, there was the ancestral school's iron law, below, there were many elder protectors and disciples here, the two of them probably wouldn't have even half a chance to cover up for Xiao Chen? Otherwise, where would their authority be, what use would the sect rules be?

  "Mo Li, since you're certain that Xiao Chen is the one who killed Mo Tiancheng, do you have any solid evidence? Why don't you two come with me to the secret chamber in the back mountain and investigate thoroughly, so as not to cause any misunderstandings?" Qingyunzi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

  Mo Li understood the words and knew that Qing Yunzi was trying to protect Xiao Chen, not wanting to expose the matter in public. If he agreed now, then this matter would have nothing to do with Xiao Chen from now on. Although he had figured out Qing Yunzi's intention, his heart secretly made a ruthless decision, without any intention of retreating. If he didn't get rid of Xiao Chen today, he would never have a peaceful day in the future.

  "The head of the sect, I have already spoken, and naturally I am certain that Xiao Chen is the murderer. As for evidence, I will take it out now, let everyone see clearly!" Mo Li didn't wait for Qing Yunzi to speak, his hands continuously formed several seals, and he shouted in a low voice: "Blood Kill Mark, appear!"

  Xiao Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the black mysterious symbol in his primordial spirit suddenly flashed out of his body. Countless blood halos scattered from it, transforming into one after another eerie ghostly figures that surrounded Xiao Chen with bared teeth and dancing claws. Only after a brief moment did they slowly dissipate.

  "The dark energy has transformed into a malevolent spirit, surrounding the evil-doers! This... this is indeed the Blood Kill Mark, and it's true that Mo Tianchen was killed by Xiao Changlao."

  "Now the situation is a bit tricky, the Sect Master and Medicine Uncle obviously want to protect Xiao Lao, but Mo Li Lao doesn't budge an inch, and even openly brought out this Blood Kill Seal, with solid evidence, I'm afraid the Sect Master won't be able to continue covering up for him."

  "Mo Lian didn't care about the sect leader's intention, but still wanted to uncover the truth. It seems that it has already become a life-and-death situation with Xiao Zhenren. The only thing is that we don't know how the true sect leader will handle this. If it's not handled fairly, it will be hard to convince everyone."

  The elderly guardians whispered to each other, their eyes fixed on Xiao Chen with extremely complex expressions, some were worried, but there were also those who were gloating over his misfortune.

  "What explanation do you have for this matter, Xiao Chen?" After a brief pause, Qingyunzi's face turned gloomy and he asked in a cold tone.
