Wuhan greeted outside the door with the other four elders behind him.
"Come in and bring all of the materials inside." Mo Xie spoke, he's a little bit irritated.
He had lived his previous life peacefully for billions of years after he ascended to the 'peak', the path he carved to reach that place is full of blood from the dead bodies of his enemies.
Mo Xie only yearned for a peaceful life, at least, that's what he thinks will happen. Live his life with the new family he made, creating geniuses after geniuses coming from his Clan, having a family of his own, some running children in the house, their elder brothers and sisters cultivating, his wife sitting with him leisurely enjoying the warm breeze of the afternoon and cold wind of the night.
Having a few thousands of children living peacefully for millions of years, a dream that shattered immediately.
Mo Xie's instincts started to slowly work again, his carefree and peaceful personality is starting to change too.
Wuhan and the others entered the mansion with a few disciples following them, carrying enormous piles of ores behind him.
About 100 disciples had helped just to bring all the materials inside. The disciples placed all of the materials in order as they looked at the Elders.
Wuhan looked at Mo Xie and was about to ask something, but he slightly trembled, the usually composed and warm Patriarch of theirs is actually emitting a cold and piercing aura.
"All of you may return back and start cultivating," Wuhan ordered the disciples. He started to worry too, his instinct is telling him that something that can make the usual kind Patriarch go cold is something dangerous.
"Yes." The disciples nodded as they made their way out.
As soon as the disciple had left, Wuhan looked at Mo Xie and spoke: "Patriarch, what's the problem?"
Mo Xie's eyes contracted as his sinister eyes looked at Wuhan and the other four, his eyes which slowly moves alternately between the five of them felt extremely cold!
Wuhan, Jiahao, Yijun, Zedong, and Lingxin felt fear each time Mo Xie's eyes descended to them; 'Was this still the same patriarch from before?'
This question remained within them, Mo Xie is actually releasing killing intent, making the five elders stunned. The five of them are Earth Ranked pract.i.tioner
Luckily, Mo Xie still controlled his temper, after all, he doesn't want the same thing happening again; 'I've a.s.signed them their position, not for decoration, yet, they didn't do their work properly and we've actually been surrounded by enemies from all sides...'
Mo Xie's thought kept changing; 'No... They are inexperienced, they have not yet entered a blood path unless someone teaches them the basics, they will never improve... A life and death trial to all of them once this business is concluded. I shouldn't blame the juniors for the incapabilities of I, Mo Xie myself.'
He needs to train everyone, he needs to make sure that everyone under him is extraordinary since the people with powers around him is turning him into that of an enemy, he will pay this enmity with 'grace'.
Mo Xie's killing intent vanished, he retracted it completely and spoke: "That is killing intent, it is built purely from the number of people you had killed, the life and death situations that a person had faced, a situation that you may die every single second."
Mo Xie explained, Instead of killing them, he'd rather not go back to the things he did from his previous life, killing his subordinates after they committed the slightest errors.
Wuhan and the other four breath a sigh of relief, but they have a new question now; 'How many people had the patriarch actually kill to possess such frightening killing intent?'
This thought sent s.h.i.+vers to their spine; 'Hundreds? Thousands? Mi... Millions?'
Then, another thought; 'Why had the patriarch showed them that?'
The five of them nodded: "We understand, Patriarch."
Mo Xie nodded, he then continued: "Do you know why I ordered for the five of you to purchase these materials?"
"Patriarch, please enlighten us." The five replied simultaneously.
"Because... Our Mo Family is in grave danger." Mo Xie calmly stated, his expression and the words that came out of his mouth is too opposite.
"This..." The five couldn't help but be shocked; 'Why? How? When?'
Mo Xie already expected such reaction, he then continued: "We are currently surrounded by more than a hundred gold ranked pract.i.tioner, about 15 Earth ranked cultivator, one of them is a Coralist."
Hearing this, all five of them started to s.h.i.+ver, their bodies immediately covered by beads of sweat. They were surrounded by without them even knowing about it? What if they were in the outside World? They would've definitely been dead already.
_Baag!_ The sound of something hitting the ground echoed.
"Patriarch, it is my own carelessness, I've been enjoying the peaceful days inside the Mo Family, I deserve punishment." Wuhan kneeled on the ground as he bowed his head to the ground.
_Baag! Baag! Baag! Baag!_ Four silmultaneous sound echoed.
"Patriarch, us too." The four elders kneeled as they bowed their heads slamming it to the ground.
They didn't check the surroundings, nor did they need to think twice whether Mo Xie is telling the truth, but one thing is for certain, the loyalty they hold for Mo Xie is above all others, they will even sacrifice their lives for him.
The treatment that they had received since the start, it is better than the treatment a City Lord gets, yet, they had actually neglected their duties and let the Mo Family be surrounded by enemies. This is definitely a mistake that deserves death.
Mo Xie smiled, his mood had never been better; 'So this is the feeling... something I had never felt before, It feels actually good to forgive someone that had committed a mistake.'
Mo Xie felt satisfied and spoke: "Don't worry, we will start our counter-attack soon."
As Mo Xie's words were heard by the five, all of them looked at him and replied: "We will do everything to the best of our capabilities!"

h.e.l.lo everyone! Sorry for another note!
Author here~

Excuse me for a lot of what it seemed to be a plot hole of the story, but I am trying to make it as realistic as possible.
First of all, Mo Xie had been living in his previous life for billions of years after attaining his position as the Monarch of that realm. What will happen if a professional boxer stopped fighting for 10 years then comes back again to work without even having a warm up, will he still be the same as ever?
How about a cell phone, laptop, pc, that wasn't used for 5 years, will they still work the same?
How about an animal, a lion, the king of the jungle vicious with a continuous victory, he was caught and tamed for 5 years, will that lion still be the same? as vicious as it was before? as strong and keen?
Then, how about a person that had lived through to billions of years without fighting, living his life peacefully? "HE SHOULD BE A SUPREME ENt.i.tY! HE WOULDN'T BE WEAK NONETHELESS!"
Well, if that is your thinking, we have two totally opposite brain, As I said before, I`m trying to make it as realistic as possible.
Mo Xie had yearned companions.h.i.+p, friends, etc. He had no knowledge of the recent trades, how can he? the only thing he did is view the mortals from the void.
He was trying to live his life the way he thinks is for the best of his Clan, but he didn't calculate it enough, his instincts had dulled due to the pa.s.sage of time, hence, he became as carefree as he is.
I want to say a spoiler here, but I shan't, I wouldn't want to ruin the way it goes, Well, I love you all, Please keep supporting me till we end all of my novels~ Thanks!
P.S: I`m not mad at those commenting about it, I just want to share my ideology with you guys, That's all :D
