Nowadays, resources are scarce, and the Chen family's life is getting worse and worse. It is said that the Huahua family discovered a fire jade vein, but so far, they have not come up with a distribution method.

  The Ou Yang family is slightly stronger and has always been ranked first among the four families. What's even more troublesome is that the Hua family is also allied with the Mo family through marriage.

  The Mo family has been declining in recent years, but the younger generation has produced many excellent talents, especially Mo Feiyan, who is actually a variant of the Ice Spirit Root. At such a young age, she has already reached the 8th layer of Qi Refining. If allowed to develop freely, it's likely that the future will be dominated by the Mo family alone.

  Unexpectedly, such a thing happened. While heartbroken for his own daughter, the clan leaders unanimously believed that this was a heaven-sent opportunity.

  Taking advantage of this matter, no matter what, they must destroy Mo Fei Yan!

  I suppose the other two houses also welcome this outcome.

  And so, with this realization, Chen Shijie has arrived at this juncture today.

  "What does it mean for oneself, and what does it mean for the Chen family?" Chen Shijie asked word by word.

  Mo Daxian smiled faintly: "If it's Brother Chen's own idea, no matter what the reason is, it's all Mo's family fault. The Mo family will apologize to Brother Chen and make amends. If Brother Chen has any requests, he can bring them up, as long as the Mo family can do it, we won't refuse. But if it's the Chen family's idea... then this matter probably can't be discussed here."

  "What's my request? I want you to hand over Mo Fei Yan for me to deal with, can you do it?" Chen Shi Jie asked relentlessly.

  Mo Danyan finally couldn't help but furrow his brow: "Brother Chen, if you don't leave some leeway, Mo will have nothing to say. Feiyan is just a child, and considering the circumstances, please forgive Mo for speaking bluntly - no matter what, we can sit down and discuss it properly. But if you want us to hand over Feiyan, that's absolutely impossible, unless the Mo family has no one left!"

  Mo Danyan's words were loud and clear, firm and resolute. The people hiding on the side couldn't help but secretly cheer him on.

  When Mo Daxian said this, Chen Shijie was not surprised in his heart. No matter which family, it is impossible to let them hand over the children with variant spiritual roots. However, if you want to get rid of it so easily, I'm afraid your Mo family will also have to pay a price.

  "In that case, I'll take my leave. The corpse of this young girl, I will take with me," said Chen Shijie.

  "That won't do, if you take the corpse away now, this matter will be even harder to clear up." Mo Lao Liu spoke out.

  Chen Shijie's face sank and he said, "What, you've killed all the people, and now you won't even let us take away the corpses?" As soon as he finished speaking, the furniture in the hall began to shake uncontrollably, and a teacup on the table shook violently before shattering onto the floor.

  "Take it away." Mo Dashan waved his hand.

  "Tribe leader——" Mo Lao Liu shouted.

  Mo Da Shan shook his head.

  Mo Lao Liu glared at Chen Shijie with a huff of anger.

  Chen Shijie didn't say a word and directly rushed to the mourning hall to take away Chen Xiang's body.

  "Third brother, how could you let him take away Mo Shi's wife's corpse? What if they do something to the corpse, our Mo family will be even more passive." Mo Lao Liu said shaking his head.

  Mo Dashi looked around the hall, and a voice that wasn't loud but reached every corner was heard: "All of you retreat, Lao Wu and Lao Liu stay behind, Second Brother, you also stay."

  Mo Dahe may be of humble origins, but he is after all one of the only four people left from that generation.

  Everyone in the hall retreated, and Mo Qingchen and others also left obediently.

  "Third Brother——" Mo Lao Liu shouted.

  Mo Dashi waved his hand and said, "All of you sit down."

  The four old men of the Mo family sat together, and Mo Dashan looked at the three people and said: "This matter, Chen's family will never give up easily. Whether to bring back the body or not is no longer important."

  "Third Brother, the Chen family, do they think that because of this matter, they can't go to war with our Mo family? If so, wouldn't it be a free advantage for the other two families?" Mo Danyan asked aloud.

  Mo Dashi shook his head and said, "Starting a war is unlikely, after all, the two families have similar strengths. If they were to start a war, it would likely end in mutual defeat. This kind of unprofitable thing, why would the Chen family do it? There's something I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, recently Huabai City revealed some information to me, that place where the fire spirit stone vein is located, they plan to discuss with our three families about dividing it up."

  "Hmm, is there finally some movement on this matter? I thought the Huo family wanted to monopolize it." Mo Danyan said.

  "Or should I say you're not using your brain? A whole volcanic rock vein, can one family of Huo's even finish it?" Mo Lao Liu said disdainfully.

  "Mo Lao Liu, are you looking for trouble or something?!" Mo Danyan angrily puffed out his chest and glared.

  "Alright, at a time like this you still have the nerve to quarrel!" Mo Dashan said helplessly.

  "Second Brother, what's your take on this?" Mo Dashan asked Mo Dahan, turning his head to him with no hope for the two old men in front of them.

  Few of the younger generation in the Mo family knew that Mo Dahu, who had been living in Chaoyang Hall for a long time and was considered inferior, actually had a lot of schemes in his heart. Many important events in the clan could not be accomplished without his participation.

  This was also the reason why Mo San ordered his eldest daughter, Mo Ran Yi, to face the wall and reflect for nearly a month after learning that she had been disrespectful to Mo Da He.

  Mo Dahe stroked his snow-white beard and said with half-closed eyes, "The Chen family is likely to make a move in the distribution of Huoyan Stone Veins."

  "Huh?" Mo Dashan asked.

  "As usual, this fire opal mine was discovered by the Hua family, they must have taken the lion's share, and it's not impossible that one family occupies 50% of it. The rest will be distributed among us three families, if the distribution is not even, and there is still a remaining share, I'm afraid we'll have to resort to our usual method of comparison to decide. The Chen family may use this matter to force us to give up the competition, after all, they have grasped our weakness, knowing that we will never give up non-smoking." Mo Dahu analyzed.

  Mo Dahe finished speaking, and the three of them fell silent for a moment.

  Mo Dashi sighed and said: "If it's settled like this, then so be it. I just hope the Chen family will stop at a suitable point and not make things more complicated..."

  "How detestable! It just so happens to coincide with the distribution of Huoyu Stone Veins. Third Brother, this time we must severely punish that scoundrel Mo Jiu!" Old Sixth Mo angrily exclaimed, his heart aching at the thought of possibly abandoned resources.

  "This matter doesn't need you to mention, I have my own plan. Old Six, don't be too concerned about those external things either. After all, it's the people that are the foundation of our Mo family's prosperity. Our generation is already like this, and the second generation's talents are dwindling. If we're talking about the future prospects of the Mo family, they lie with those few children of Naiyan."

  The scattered crowd had no heart to practice, and three or two of them gathered together, discussing the events that had occurred, wondering what the Chen family would do next.

  Only Mo Qingchen quietly returned to Chaoyang Hall and sat in his own position with closed eyes to meditate.

  She has reached the peak of the second layer of Qi refining, and is at a bottleneck. At this moment, entering the third layer of Qi refining one day earlier would also be a comfort to her mind.

  These days, the Mo family has been in a nervous atmosphere, and they all don't know that the patriarch Mo Danyan received the transmission token from the Hua family, inviting the three patriarchs to go to the Hua family to discuss the matter of Huoyu Stone Vein together.

  It was unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional, but on this day, Chen Shijie returned with others from the Hua and Ouyang families, including two foundation period cultivators.

  The four major Xiu Zhen families, except for the Ou Yang family which has three Jīgōng period cultivators and is slightly superior, each have two people.

  Now three foundation-building cultivators have come, and Mo Sixiang, the only foundation-building cultivator of the Mo family, has a look as if he is facing a great enemy.

  "Chen Shijie, what do you mean by this?" Old Mo Six shouted.

  Chen Shijie let out a cold laugh, and with a wave of his hand, a crystal coffin suddenly appeared in the great hall. Inside it lay Chen Xiang, who had been dead for some time.

  The hall was filled with a sudden intake of breath.

  "Mo Da Wei, I have come today and invited Hua Xiong and Ouyang Xiong as witnesses. It is to avenge my innocent daughter's tragic death!" Chen Shijie said sternly.

  Mo Lao Liu was furious: "Chen Shi Jie, that day our clan leader clearly explained the cause of the matter to you, why are you still being so aggressive? Don't you even care about your own daughter's reputation, do you want to force me to reveal the truth in front of everyone?"

  "Haha, you're really good at talking, saying my daughter's reputation is this and that. Everyone here knows that when Mo Shi died, she insisted on staying in the Mo family. Now that she's dead, you still dare to slander her? My two brothers, after I brought my daughter back home, I sent someone to investigate carefully, and it's clear that she was raped and then killed. At this moment, in order to avenge my daughter, I don't care about hiding the truth anymore!" As soon as Chen Shijie finished speaking, many people present let out cries of surprise.

  "You, you're talking nonsense!" Old Mo Six angrily pointed his finger and said.

  Chen Shijie's laughter grew even colder: "Am I talking nonsense? It was clearly you, the Mo family's Mo Jiu, who lusted after the beauty of a young girl and raped her. Later, he was caught by his daughter Mo Feiyan, and to protect her father's reputation, she killed him to silence him!"

  "Ah, is it really like this?" On one side of the hall, Mo You's face was full of surprise, and she asked in a low voice.

  Mo Xi shook his head and signaled Mo You to calm down.

  "Damn it!" Mo Danyan finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded loudly, "It's clearly your daughter who didn't behave like a virtuous woman, which led to Feiyen losing control in anger and accidentally killing her. You should know that Feiyen is only twelve years old, anyone who saw such a situation would lose their rationality, let alone a child. If we say there's fault, our Mo family will not shirk responsibility, but if you say your Chen family daughter has no fault at all, and want to put a child to death because of this, that's simply too cruel."

  "Mo brothers, our two families were also entrusted by Brother Chen to send our own women to investigate. Mo Chen's wife was indeed humiliated first and killed later!" The foundation period cultivator from the Ouyang family spoke up.

  "This is impossible!" Old Sixth almost jumped up.

  "What if it is?" Chen Shijie pressed on step by step as he watched Mo Lao Liu gradually lose his mind.

  "If that's the case, then you can handle it as you see fit!" Mo Lao Liu had barely finished speaking when he was interrupted by a loud shout from Mo Da Nian. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

  "All right, all right. You can send a woman from the Mo family to examine the body of my daughter. If what I said is true, then don't let Mo Fei escape with his life. Just make him cripple himself as atonement, to comfort my daughter's spirit in heaven!" Chen Shijie said, a cold smile flashing across his eyes.
