Chapter 657: People are Inferior to Dogs
The original plan was to head to the Secret Realm the next day, but since Mo Tianhao had just exited seclusion and needed to stabilize his foundation, they delayed for a day.
This additional day was a good thing for Qin Yi, as it allowed him to learn more about the hidden Mo Family.
"Mo Shao, what is that place in the back mountain? I noticed the defense is very tight."
Qin Yi watched Mo Wuji practicing calligraphy. This guy really had a fine hand for writing, his strokes powerful and vigorous, even someone like Qin Yi, who didn't understand calligraphy, found watching him write enjoyable.
He wasn't asking at random, because he had secretly explored the Mo Family the previous night and discovered two terrifying presences in the back mountain, stronger even than the Mo Family Head, Mo Honghai, and he had almost been discovered.
"The back mountain is the Mo Family's Holy Land, where the ancestral tablets are enshrined, with dedicated guardians."
Qin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, suspecting it was not just a place of enshrinement, but also a retreat for true experts to cultivate in seclusion.
"Mo Shao, is your second granduncle the strongest in your family?"
Mo Wuji paused, then slightly shook his head, "No, it's said that two of our Mo Family ancestors reside in the back mountain, their longevity unknown. They are the true terror of the Mo Family. However, I've never seen them, nor do I know the truth; they never show themselves."
Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat, the Mo Family ancestors were probably the two he had sensed the previous night.
Mo Honghai could probably fight on par with the Azure Dragon, and the twelve Elders of the Mo Family, their cultivation all exceeding the Nascent Soul Realm. The younger generation, remarkably, could select twenty Nascent Soul experts at once; this hidden family was indeed terrifying.
The Mo Family's strength could probably sweep away all Qi Refiners from the outside world.
No wonder everyone feared these hidden families; their heritage was truly frightening.
"Mo Wuji."
Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
Mo Wuji's hand holding the brush paused, ruining the character he was writing; calligraphy emphasizes fluidity, and once interrupted, the character is considered ruined.
Mo Wuji put down the brush, his thick brows furrowing, "It's Mo Tianhao."
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback; Mo Tianhao was Mo Honghai's grandson and was said to be the top of the younger generation in the Mo Family. He had recently exited seclusion, and Mo Honghai delayed a day for him. Qin Yi was also quite curious about him.
Mo Wuji led Qin Yi outside.
In the courtyard, stood two people. One was tall and robust, carrying a silver longsword on his back, his expression arrogant.
The other was Mo Tianwei, whom he had met yesterday.
"Brother."
Mo Wuji bowed in greeting.
"Ankang, serve tea to Brother." Mo Wuji glanced at Qin Yi then looked at Mo Tianhao, "Brother, please have a seat."
Near the wall, there was a set of stone table and chairs.
"No need." Mo Tianhao waved his hand, arrogantly looking at Mo Wuji, "I'm just here to ask if it's true that you fought Qin Yi and were defeated."
Mo Wuji nodded slightly, "It's because I'm lacking, not a match for Qin Yi."
"Ridiculous, with your level of cultivation, you can't even beat me, yet you dared to volunteer to kill Qin Yi; you're seeking death, truly ignorant." Mo Tianwei's face was full of disdain.
Qin Yi was taken aback; Mo Tianwei only had a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, while Mo Wuji was at Nascent Soul Great Perfection. It's hard to understand where his confidence came from saying such things.
However, Mo Wuji had always been low-key and understood how to endure, never showing his strength in front of others; it was normal that Mo Tianwei couldn't see through it.
Mo Tianhao did not stop Mo Tianwei from humiliating Mo Wuji, speaking arrogantly, "How does Qin Yi compare to me?"
"Brother, is there even a need to ask? Qin Yi is nothing, how can he compare to you? When he meets you, he probably won't even have the chance to defend himself. Why bother asking this waste?" Mo Tianwei said contemptuously to Mo Wuji.
"Some people volunteer to kill Qin Yi just to show off?"
Mo Tianhao said proudly, "Qin Yi may just be a jumping flea, but being able to kill many experts, he must have some skill. After I return from the Secret Realm, I will personally go and kill Qin Yi. Of course, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred victories; it's beneficial to know more about this person."
"Mo Wuji, tell me about Qin Yi."
Qin Yi was furious, being humiliated to his face and unable to retaliate. When had he ever suffered such indignation, wishing he could deal with this bastard right now?
Mo Wuji said softly, "Qin Yi does have some skill; Ankang and I joined forces against him and were ultimately defeated."
"Tch, this old dog by your side is just as useless as you. Even if there were ten of you, the result would be the same. If I meet that Qin Yi, I will kill him with a wave of my hand." Mo Tianwei's words and demeanor were filled with disdain for Mo Wuji and Qin Yi.
Mo Tianhao said indifferently, "Tianwei, don't underestimate Qin Yi. He can kill Buwen and Nan ZaiXu, his cultivation is naturally strong."
"Tch, it's because he used tricks. Brother Buwen was set up and killed by him. If it were face-to-face, he definitely wouldn't be a match for Brother Buwen." Mo Tianwei said disdainfully.
Mo Tianhao nodded slightly, finding some truth in Mo Tianwei's words.
"Mo Wuji, based on your observation, to what extent has Qin Yi's cultivation reached?"
Mo Wuji pondered for a moment, "He should be at Nascent Soul Great Perfection."
"Nascent Soul Great Perfection?" Mo Tianwei sneered disdainfully, "When I return from the Secret Realm, I will go to Yinfeng City and kill Qin Yi myself."
"If brother takes action, success is assured." Mo Wuji said indifferently.
Mo Tianhao sneered again, "Mo Wuji, you're lucky this time to enter the Secret Realm. I hope you won't drag me down once inside and tarnish the Mo Family's name. Otherwise, I'll personally punish you."
"I'll remember." Mo Wuji said humbly.
Mo Tianhao smiled proudly and left with Mo Tianwei.
"Damn." Qin Yi cursed; he had never seen anyone more arrogant than him in his life. These siblings made him seem so insignificant, like an ant to be crushed easily.
Bastards, see you in the Secret Realm.
Mo Wuji apologized to Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, I'm really sorry you had to endure such indignity."
"It's alright; I said before, I never suffer indignation. Once inside the Secret Realm, I'll teach them a lesson."
"Brother Qin, do you have confidence in handling Mo Tianhao? He's already close to breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm."
Qin Yi sneered, "Just a waste accumulated with cultivation resources; his foundation is unstable and will amount to nothing. But your hidden ability is impressive, even Mo Tianwei doesn't know your cultivation?"
"It's hard to display cultivation without support or backing. Even if I don't show it, I am regarded as a thorn in the side. If my cultivation were exposed, I'd probably have been assassinated long ago. In this Nan Family, without power or support, a person is no better than a dog." Mo Wuji smiled bitterly.
