The Fourth Volume: Iron Clouds Fill the Sky Chapter 112: The Mo Family Clan

  After drinking three bowls of wine, the big man in black finally let out a mouthful of wine and said: "It's really enjoyable. Ah, speaking of which, it's also frustrating. Originally, everything was fine, but one day, the Jiuxing Sword reappeared!"

  "Nine Calamity Sword?!" Chu Yang's heart violently jumped once! At this moment, his heart almost leaped out of his chest.

  The Nine Calamity Sword appears in the world, but only I know about it. Why does it seem like everyone else knows about it too?

  "Nine calamities emerge, wind and cloud dance; ten thousand calamities perish, stars and celestial bodies weep; heaven and earth change, different paths of fate...... This is a verse that has been passed down for ten thousand years in the Nine Heavens Continent, and it is also a prophecy left behind by Chen Liuyun, the Supreme Being of a generation ago!" When the big man in black said the three words "Chen Liuyun", his face showed a deep respect that could not be dispersed.

  Liúyún Zhìzūn, also one of the only two Zhi Zun to have appeared in the Nine Heavens Continent since ancient times! This world originally had no Zhi Zun, but after these two people broke through the last barrier, there was a Zhi Zun!

  Morning breeze rises within the universe, clouds drift outside the sky!

  Morning Breeze Supreme Dance Morning Breeze, Flowing Clouds Supreme Chen Flowing Clouds! Nine Heavens Continent, Eternal Legend!

  Chen Liuyun was someone that Chu Yang naturally knew, but he didn't know that Chen Liuyun had actually left behind a prophecy like this.

  "This sentence says that once the Nine Calamity Sword finds its true master, the heavens and earth will inevitably undergo a great change! The entire layout of the nine heavens will also have a tendency to change! Therefore, once the Nine Calamity Sword appears in the world, all the successors of the major families must temper themselves in the Jianghu, awaiting the calamity! Legend has it that one of the calamities of the Nine Calamity Sword is precisely the master of the nine heavens' various major families! The calamity is coming!"

  "It will only be after this turmoil that the major families will re-rank and decide their strengths; deciding the ownership and division of power between the top three heavens and the middle three heavens, will it come to an end." The black-clothed big man took another sip of wine and said: "And the master of the Nine Calamity Sword is the most crucial person among them!"

  "Ah......ah? Ah! Ah......" Chu Yang's mouth was agape, like a carp on the verge of suffocation. With his composure, he really didn't know what to say at this moment...... "Very shocking, right?" The black-clothed man swung his wine jug with satisfaction, very pleased with Chu Yang's expression. This matter had already been no secret among the major families in Zhong San Tian for three days, but unexpectedly, when he said it out loud now, the guy in front of him was so shocked that it filled the black-clothed man's heart with a sense of accomplishment...... "Ah......shocked! Too shocked!" Chu Yang nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at grain, thinking to himself that it wasn't just shock anymore, but rather he had been shocked to the point of heaven and earth turning upside down...... Jiuxiao Sword Master? Wasn't that referring to him? ......Could it be that he had such abilities? With his martial arts cultivation, he could actually make Zhong San Tian and Shang San Tian tremble with fear?

  "Anyway, this isn't a good thing either...". The black-clothed big man suddenly had an angry face: "The Nine Calamity Sword has emerged, and the trials are just a formality; but it's related to the ranking of each major family. So one of the requirements for the young masters of each major family who come out to trial is... to suppress the young masters of other families! If they can't be suppressed, killing them is also acceptable! In short, they must use every possible method to weaken their opponents!"

  Chu Yang rubbed his forehead with his hand and secretly rolled his eyes.

  "And our arch-nemesis, the Mo family, are the Hei Mo and Yan families. Although they have been seemingly at peace for hundreds of years, they have actually been secretly vying with each other all along. This time, the emergence of the Jiu Jie Sword has suddenly brought the contradictions between the three families to the surface, especially among the younger generation, it's a life-and-death struggle!"

  The big man in black sighed: "This time, the two young masters came out to practice, with three guards; The lady insisted on following them out to play... The master also thought that with three king-level experts protecting her, nothing would happen... So he agreed; And also sent me extra to protect the lady." He sighed and raised his head to drink heavily, sighing: "I really failed the master's trust..."

  "Four kings-level masters... escorting in person?" Chu Yang's brain short-circuited. The Mo family for three days? Are they that awesome?

  What's more, under the protection of four king-level masters, Mo Qingwu was actually injured like this? Are these four king-level masters just eating idle rice?

  "A top-notch master like Wang is considered a number one figure in the martial arts world, but this time, the young master's journey to temper himself is a matter of life and death for the entire family for hundreds or even thousands of years to come. Compared to that, what does being a top-notch master amount to?" The big man in black looked disdainful, completely forgetting that he was also one of the top-notch masters.

  "So that's how it is." Chu Yang's expression turned serious; he had heard Gu Du Xing mention the family's three-day trial in the Jiang Hu before, but he hadn't expected it to be so grand and have such a profound impact... Now it seems that some things need to be reevaluated.

  "After they came out, the eldest young master had a conflict with the second young master, and they quarreled for an entire afternoon before parting ways. The eldest young master took his two brothers to visit the Zhao family... while the second young master took the young lady on a trip to enjoy the mountains and rivers..."

  "When we arrived at the Lianyun Mountains, there was a rumor circulating that there was a ruin under the cliff, and Second Master suspected it was the remains of a high-ranking warrior after examining some things. The local area is very desolate, so he wanted to go take a look. I accompanied Miss on top of the cliff, while Second Master and Old Mo went down; shortly after they left, the entire valley suddenly caught fire; it turned out we had fallen into an enemy ambush..."

  "This is a trap!" Chu Yang said with certainty; in his heart, he couldn't help but look down on this "Second Young Master". If there really were the remains of a high-ranking warrior, would you be able to stumble upon it by chance after only three days? Such an obvious trap, and yet you still brought your sister along and fell for it... how stupid!

  "Slap!" The big man in black clothes slapped his thigh and said in a heroic tone, "Who says it's not? It's just a trap! Ah! I've advised Second Master Mo several times, but he wouldn't listen... Ah."

  "I held the young lady and barely escaped from the raging fire; only to be ambushed by the Dark Devil! Alas, the young lady is a rare Three Yin Pulse, if she grows up, even as a woman, she will become an extraordinary master; yet the Dark Devil wants to kill her just for this reason!"

  "Twelve Martial Emperors, the Twin Kings of Sword and Saber struck at the same time; I was just a hair's breadth away from meeting my maker... Even Missy got hit by the Black Magic Sword King's sword, luckily it was from a distance, but still almost...". The black-robed burly man's face was filled with rage: "Damn it, this debt will be settled one of these days!"

  He didn't notice that since he mentioned the words "Three Yin Pulse", Chu Yang suddenly fell silent... "The Mo family... attaches great importance to Light Dance's Three Yin Pulse?" Chu Yang asked cautiously.

  "That's for sure! The Three Yin Pulse, generally only appears in women. Once it appears, the woman's future achievements will be boundless, even if she becomes a top-notch imperial expert, it won't be surprising. Moreover, our Mo family had an ancestor who was also a Three Yin Pulse, and left behind a special cultivation method for the Three Yin Pulse body. Miss only needs to follow the steps, and she can smoothly rise to prominence." The black-clothed big man said with pride, it's clear that he likes and cares for his miss very much, and is also very proud of Mo Qingwu.

  "Uh... if it's Triple Yin Pulse... being abandoned? What will happen?" Chu Yang asked in a low voice: "What consequences will there be?"

  "Has the Triple Yin Pulse been abandoned?" The tall, dark-robed man stared at him in astonishment, suddenly leapt to his feet with a loud crash, and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, staring fixedly at Chu Yang.

  "Let's say... suppose..." Chu Yang said softly.

  "If... if..." The black-clad man muttered weakly, he suddenly remembered that Mo Qingwu had been hit by that one sword, that one sword... But it was right in the middle of his chest! And there, it was also where the three yin meridians converged!

  He was stunned for a long time before saying in a low voice: "If it's true... Miss, this life is over..." His voice was filled with sorrow and loss.

  "Is it over?" Chu Yang furrowed his brow, a hint of danger lurking in his tone: "What's over?"

  The tall, dark-clad man smiled wryly and said: "Every family, every country; the children of the master of the house, there are always some who don't amount to much. These people, whether they're spoiled or arrogant, even if they don't know a bit of martial arts and only know how to do evil, all have their own place and value."

  Chu Yang nodded silently.

  "These incompetent family members play a huge role. Because they are often used as tools for marriage alliances to consolidate power." The black-clothed man smiled bitterly: "Many strong forces have emerged, and everyone is on thin ice. Even if two forces want to unite, there must be a justifiable reason, it's not like you can unite just because you want to. Once a force expands too quickly, other forces will unite to strike against you!"

  "At this time, wanting to unite but not wanting to be attacked; one is master-disciple relationship, and the other is intermarriage." Chu Yang continued quietly: "And as for master-disciple relationship, there's the distress of having one's family's unique skills stolen by others, which can lead to hidden dangers. It's far better to use the useless sons in the family for intermarriage, which is more cost-effective. And these useless sons, even if they are married off, can still bring great contributions to the family, and that's where their value lies!"

  "That's right, it's like that." The big man in black lowered his head and said: "The Mo family also has such a descendant. And people like this generally do not participate in the family ranking, because they are not worthy; just like the eldest son of the master, Mo Tianxing, who was demoted to third young master at the age of eleven because he was not capable. Although he is the oldest, he has to call his younger brother 'brother'..."

  "If Miss San's three yin pulses are abolished...... then, then......" The big man in black suddenly became anxious and asked loudly: "Little brother, how is the miss?"

  "The three yin pulses are abolished... Is it going to be abandoned by the family immediately? Become a tool for that kind of marriage?" Chu Yang's eyes were very cold, his voice was also very cold, and he didn't care about the anxiety of this king-level expert at all.

  "Ah..." The tall, dark-clad man let out a long sigh, his face as black as iron: "If it's determined by the family, then there's no hope of recovery from now on... I'm afraid..."
