Chapter 65: Ambushed Again
Several people entered the Yu Shou City and found an inn to stay, Du Fei was arranged in a room with Mo Nan, because now Du Fei is a suspected object, plus he and Mo Nan were not on good terms, there were many frictions, now he was sealed by Mo Nan's meridians again, and staying in the same room as Mo Nan, Mo Nan was responsible for monitoring Du Fei, now Du Fei was complaining endlessly.
After everyone finished dinner and returned to their rooms, the night had already fallen. Inside the room, Du Fei and Mo Nan didn't look at each other, both of them feeling uncomfortable when they saw each other. The whole room was unusually quiet. At this time, not only were Du Fei's meridians sealed, but his hands and feet were also tied up by Mo Nan, sitting on the couch.
Mo Nan stood up and walked to Du Fei's bedside, sitting down with a fierce expression. He stared at Du Fei, who swallowed hard and asked in terror: "Y-you... what do you want to do? You don't like men, do you?"
"Old man, I'll beat you up." Mo Nan heard Du Fei's words and also raised his hand to give Du Fei a slap, but Du Fei quickly lifted his bound hands to block his head, pointing at Mo Nan's raised palm and hastily said: "What are you doing? Taking advantage of someone in distress is not heroic."
This sentence seems to be particularly familiar, Mo Nan immediately withdrew his palm that had been suspended in mid-air and coldly snorted at Du Fei: "You little brat, if you dare to speak nonsense again, see how I'll deal with you. If it weren't for the young lady's orders to spare your life, I would have killed you, this suspicious guy."
"Wait a minute, you'd better tell me clearly who is suspicious." Du Fei asked with a puzzled face.
"Who else could it be besides you?" Mo Nan said irritably.
"Me?" Du Fei heard Mo Nan say that he was also suspicious, and immediately put on a wronged expression with a crying tone: "I'm really pitiful, I don't even know the reason why you people caught me, now you're saying I'm suspicious and preparing to kill me. Is there still justice in this world? Heaven, what kind of world is this?" Mo Nan heard Du Fei's wailing and also had an unpleasant expression as he looked at Du Fei. He scolded: "You rascal, stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me! If you hadn't lured me away yesterday, Young Master and Miss wouldn't have fallen into the thief's ambush either. You're still pretending to be unaware in front of me? I think you really can't bear to live anymore."
"Stop, stop." Du Fei made a stopping motion with his hand and signaled Mo Nan to stop. He said: "I'll explain it to you again, I wasn't the one who ambushed your family's young master and miss yesterday. Believe it or not, I went upstairs just to find out what was going on, but coincidentally ran into this unreasonable guy - you. Now that you've sealed my meridians and tied me up, do whatever you want with me, kill me or dismember me, but I'm telling you, I wasn't the one who ambushed your family's young master and miss."
"I think you're also quite suspicious, why should I believe you? You'd better stay here and wait for me to investigate this matter clearly. If you're really not a suspect, I'll let you go. But if you are... " Mo Nan's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he looked at Du Fei again. However, Du Fei turned his head to the side and ignored Mo Nan, falling asleep instead. Seeing that Du Fei had fallen asleep, Mo Nan also lay down on his own bed and fell asleep.
Just as Mo Nan had fallen asleep, the sound of tiles moving on the roof was heard. Mo Nan suddenly jumped up and looked at the roof above his head, then at Du Fei, who was still fast asleep with a very unattractive sleeping posture and drooling. Mo Nan didn't bother to wake Du Fei and quickly climbed onto the roof to take a look. When Mo Nan reached the rooftop, there was indeed no one there. Mo Nan carefully examined the situation on the rooftop, and just as he was feeling suspicious, a commotion broke out from downstairs, coming from the room where Mo Jiu Yu and Mo Shao Yang were staying.
Mo Nan arrived at Mo Ziyu's room in an extremely fast speed, only to see Mo Ziyu with a painful expression looking at the several black-clothed masked men in front of him. His right hand was covering his left shoulder, and there was blood flowing out from his left shoulder, clearly showing that he had been injured during the fight earlier. The several black-clothed men also narrowed their eyes when they saw Mo Nan suddenly appear, and they started to escape one after another. However, Mo Nan saw that a few of them were trying to escape, and with a single hand, he pushed forward fiercely. His palm then transformed into a claw-like shape, and a suction force was emitted from his palm, pulling one of the black-clothed men towards him. The other black-clothed men did not care about their companion being caught, and they quickly escaped. Mo Nan struck the captured black-clothed man's shoulder with a single palm, and the man immediately fainted. Mo Nan did not care about the black-clothed man at all, and his figure flashed towards Mo Shaoyang's room. At this time, several black-clothed men were seen escaping through the broken window. Mo Nan gritted his teeth in anger, saying: "Damn it, those guys got away." He then looked at Mo Shaoyang, who was covered in sweat, and asked: "Young Master, are you alright?" Mo Shaoyang shook his head, saying: "I'm fine, but those bastards got away."
Two people came to Mo Ziyu's room together, and Mo Shaoyang saw the blood flowing on Mo Ziyu's arm and quickly ran over, anxiously asking: "Sister, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Minor injuries, I'm fine," Mo Yuzhou said with a shake of his head. Mo Shaoyang calmly took out some medicinal paste from his sleeve and applied it to the wounds on Mo Yuzhou's arm.
Mo Nan grasped the black-clad person who had just been knocked unconscious by himself with both hands and asked, "Miss, there's still one alive here. What do you think we should do?"
"Leave him, I'll ask him again later." Just then, Mo Nan suddenly appeared in front of Mo Yuzhu with incredible speed, and only a few "clangs" were heard. Several wooden flying knives fell from Mo Nan's body. Everyone was shocked to look out the window, seeing a black-clad figure staring into the room before disappearing. Mo Nan furiously cursed: "Bastard, too reckless!" After finishing speaking, he was about to get up and chase after him, but was held back by Mo Yuzhu. Mo Nan looked at Mo Yuzhu in surprise: "Miss, what's this?"
Mo Jiyu said calmly, "Uncle Nan, don't go after him anymore. This might be a trick to lure the tiger away from its mountain. Don't fall for it." As he spoke, Mo Jiyu shook his head, signaling to Mo Nan not to act impulsively.
Miss Mo was also anxious at this time and said: "Miss, are we just going to sit here and wait for death? Those guys come to ambush us every day."
"Don't panic, panicking now is useless. Our current whereabouts have already been discovered by them, and those people have been following us for several days. The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light, so we must not be confused at this moment." Mo Yuzhou said.
As he spoke, Mo Nan waved his hands, and a majestic aura emanated from his body, setting up an aura barrier around their location. This aura barrier was a relatively common defensive technique that could withstand attacks and isolate external sounds. Generally, only high-level experts who had reached a certain level of cultivation could use it, but it consumed a lot of aura, so it wasn't often used. The larger the range of coverage, the faster the aura would be depleted.
"Sister, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so impulsive at the time, we wouldn't have brought this disaster upon ourselves. It's all my fault." The speaker was Mo Shaoyang, who now looked self-reproachful.
"Shǎo Yáng, this isn't your fault, you didn't do anything wrong. Those were all evil people who deserved to be killed. Don't be sad, if Father found out about this, he wouldn't blame you either. It's fine, as long as we safely arrive at White Iron City, we'll be safe. Nán Shū, how much farther is it to White Iron City? Calculate it for us. Tomorrow, let's go buy some dry rations and head straight to White Iron City without resting." Mò Jiǔ Yǔ looked over at Mò Nán as she spoke.
"If we keep flying, it will take at least three days to arrive. I have already sent out a distress signal to the old master and they are rushing over as well." Mo Nan said.
"It's okay, then we'll set off tomorrow," said Mo Jiyu.
"Hey miss, look at how this guy is handled?" Mo Nan said as he grabbed the unconscious man in black.
"Get him awake, I have something to ask him." As soon as Mo Jiyu finished speaking, Mo Nan struck the black-clothed man with a palm, and the black-clothed man who was hit by Mo Nan's palm suddenly opened his eyes, looking at himself being caught. He was also frightened, especially Mo Nan's appearance, which was originally a bit scary. At this time, Mo Nan looked even more ferocious at the black-clothed man, and the black-clothed man was so scared that he trembled with fear.
Mo Nan's face turned red with rage as he slapped the black-clad man, scolding: "Bastard, now you're like this? Why weren't you afraid when you ambushed us earlier? Now you know fear?" The black-clad man was bleeding profusely from Mo Nan's slap, but still looked at everyone in fear, trembling as he begged: "Everyone... please spare my life, I won't dare to do it again. I hope everyone will let me go." Just as Mo Nan was about to speak, he was stopped by Mo Yuzhou. Mo Nan also closed his mouth and watched from the side.
"You answer our questions and I'll let you go." Mo Jiyu replied calmly.
"Yes, I will tell the truth." The man in black nodded and bowed.
"Who sent you out to kill us?" Mo Yiyu asked.
"It was Master Yan Tianchen who sent us." The man in black replied.
"It's really him. Then I'm asking you, how many people did Yan Tianchen send to recognize and kill us? What kind of strength do they have?" Mo Yiyu asked.
"There were twelve people, and the master and madam had also come in person. The master and madam's strength seemed to be at the level of Fusion Soul Stage 2, while among the other ten people, two had reached the Inverse Sky Boundary, and the rest were all at the Condensation Realm." The man in black said respectfully.
"How did they know their whereabouts?" Mo Yiyu asked.
"I don't know about that, all I know is that after the young master was injured and escaped, the blood he left behind wasn't cleaned up in time, and later the master tracked you down." The man in black said respectfully.
"It's no wonder with bloodline tracking method." Mo Nan said with narrowed eyes at this time.
