Mo Xie and the others frowned, they are now in a very huge disadvantage, but something is weird, only two people amongst them have the same uniform with Zuo Baize, now, where did these people come from.
Their faces are wrapped with a black clothing while wearing a red and white robe, their head is covered with a hood.
"What do you want." Mo Xie asked as he kept thinking of ways for them to escape.
Zuo Baize has a smile full of satisfaction: "At first, I would've like you to actually just kneel in front of my disciple, but then, before I can visit you, a piece of news started to spread.
That your Mo Family is starting to make a business of trading Soul Weapons for Spirit Stones."
Hearing this, Mo Xie couldn't help but frown: "What does anything of it has to do with you?"
"Well, I became caution." Zuo Baize replied as he sneered; "Made me do a full background check on you, I've visited everyone, asked all of the people that had a contact with."
Hearing this, Mo Xie can already half-guessed what happened.
"But everything was futile, so I carried another investigation by myself." Zuo Baize chuckles.
Mo Xie is delaying the clash as much as possible while his subordinates try to recover as much as they can.
"Which means, you are moving by yourself without the backing of the Supreme Sword Sect?" Mo Xie asked.
Zuo Baize's smiling face disappeared, although it was not direct, Mo Xie clearly stated that he has not much of a power inside the Supreme Sword Sect, a direct slap to his pride.
"Hmmp! Keep acting smug, I will deal with you later." Zuo Baize replied.
"Why not know? Is it because you became another dog for somebody else?" Mo Xie replied as he sneered.
Zuo Baize didn't reply as he glared at Mo Xie with the intent to kill: "I`m going to warn you, one more wrong word that comes out of your mouth will be your last."
Mo Xie sneered; "You can come if you dare."
Hearing Mo Xie's reply, Zuo Baize's anger soared to its peak, he clenched his hands to a fist as his chest, yet, he didn't move, even by an inch. He had just slapped his own face straight to the grand.
"Dog." Mo Xie added another word, seeing that Zuo Baize didn't move, the power that the old man had talked to is much stronger than his.
Mo Xie started to walk forward as he led his subordinates to back to the Mo Family's residence.
"Halt! Do not move any further!" Zuo Baize shouted as he blocked Mo Xie's path.
Mo Xie glanced at Zuo Baize; "What will you do if I don't?"
"Then, I will just kill all of your Clan's members." The one that is beside Zuo Baize spoke.
Mo Xie frowned, but at the next second, he looked at Wuhan: "Now!"
"Yes, Patriarch!" The three elders moved ahead while the disciples were beside them in a formation that the three elders can protect them.
"Hmmp! Don't even think of escaping." One of them exclaimed as they charged towards Wuhan.
"Little Red!" Mo Xie exclaimed as he looked at the one leading the charge towards Wuhan and the rest.
"Yes, Master!" Little Red replied as he dashed forward.
"Empyrean Flames!" A red-orange flame escaped Little Red's mouth as it directed towards the white-robed warrior.
"Help!" That warrior exclaimed, immediately, five more 6-star Earth rank Coralist when in front of him as they together blocked the fire.
_Booom!_ A huge cloud of dust appeared as the two forces collided.
The six people Coralists blocked Little Red's flame skill, but they were pushed back and their hands are still trembling from the impact.
"Mere weaklings, do not block my path! RAAAAAAAAA!" Little Red roared as he dived at the six cultivators.
Mo Xie immediately dashed as he followed his disciples from the back.
The one that had spoken earlier that is beside Zuo Baize frowned; "This Demon Beast is too strong. It might be on the brink of breaking through, be careful."
Due to the amount of Earth ranked Spiritual Energy from the cultivators that Little Red had consumed earlier, his Core is about to break through, but he'll need to at least eat three or four more, such people, before he can.
"The ten of you, kill that snake! The other five go and follow those Mo Family members and kill them, just leave that brat alive!" The Leader of the white-robed men ordered.
Everyone nodded as they went and moved to their objective.
"NOT SO FAST! GRAAAAAAA!" Little Red roared as he tried to block those on the pursuit.
"Hmmp! We're here to play with you yet you want to ignore us?" The other ten that's tasked on taking care of Little Red spoke.
They are a little scared though, facing a peak Earth ranked demon beast is truly frightening, especially when it is about to breakthrough.
Mo Xie kept running as he focused his attention on the people following them, but something is weird, these people are only tailing them, they are not trying to catch or kill any of them either.
"Patriarch, I will delay them off while we escape!" Wuhan appeared beside Mo Xie as he spoke.
"No, you go there, they have no intention of killing me." Mo Xie replied.
Wuhan smiled as he shook his head: "Patriarch, they do not intend to kill you but that does not mean that they wouldn't capture you."
Mo Xie chuckles as he shook his head: "Then, let us do this together."
Wuhan nodded as the both of them fire some skills and arrows at the people chasing them.
"Hmmp! Such a low-level skill, it wouldn't harm us even if we di-" One of the people on the pursuit was about to finish his words, but before he could, an arrow was headed straight to his face.
_Pak!_ Sadly, with the power behind it, the arrow was slapped away.
"F*cking annoying! You will die anyway! Why are you struggling!"
"Patriarch, you should go to the center of our group, your safety is our top priority." Wuhan smiled as he ignored the one on pursuit and spoke.
"Then, let's go." Mo Xie nodded as he increased his phase, Wuhan immediately took the front as he led the group.
Wuhan looked at Mo Xie with a smile as he spoke: "Patriarch..."
"Hmm?" Mo Xie replied, although they are being chased, they tried to maintain calmness.
"It feels like... It feels like... I can't really explain, but I think that I am satisfied with what we have now..." Wuhan spoke.
"What do you mean?" Mo Xie asked in bewilderment.
Wuhan: "I don't know, but it feels like just being together with you and the Mo Family, I had the chance to have something I wish to protect the most."
Mo Xie didn't reply, something feels weird as soon as he heard those words, it felt like he heard something like this in the past.
"I was an orphan, my family left me on a road, I was waiting for death.
Someone picked me up but it was a slave trader, one day when I was sold, I escaped, I lived my life begging until I learned how to cultivate.
I became a lone cultivator after that, I even thought that I can rule the World for some time.
But I was woken up by other cultivators, much stronger than me, and when I thought that the road for me has ended, I saw the Mo Family's recruiting notice.
I felt extremely curious, what it is like to be in a group of people again, to be in a Clan.
But Patriarch... you disappointed me with that expectation, instead of a group of people striving for power, you gave me a family...
Something I truly wished for from the bottom of my heart, what I yearned for through the years that I had been alive."
Mo Xie chuckles: "Then, you will have to protect this Family much harder than before."
"I know Patriarch, I will do my best." Wuhan replied as he moved forward, he then looked back at Mo Xie as he added.
"Patriarch, I am blessed in this life to have come under you."
Wuhan smiled brightly at Mo Xie, expressing his deep grat.i.tude for the latter.
Mo Xie nodded, but something felt extremely weird, it felt extremely familiar in some part, it felt like he had seen it before, but where?
There's only a hundred meter away before they can reach the Mo Family's residence, but something crossed Mo Xie's mind, but it was too late.
"PATRIARCH!" A loud shout was heard from the front of the group.
"Grand Elder!" The disciples screamed afterward, it was a scream of deep shock and agony.
Mo Xie looked forward and saw Wuhan who's leading the group back to the Mo Family flying in the air.
"Patriarch... please move... safe... Patriarch's... safety..." Wuhan spoke, stuttering as a smile formed on his lips.
It felt like something strange is happening in front of Mo Xie.
"KAaaaaaaaH!" The last howl came from Wuhan mouth as his body trembles while a burst of blood came out of what seemed to be sword injuries.
Mo Xie caught Wuhan's body, his chest suddenly felt tightened as he looked at Wuhan's body lying lifelessly on his hands.
"WHO!?!!"
But as soon as Mo Xie looked at the front, he saw five figures blocking their path, these people are not like the ones from earlier, no, they wore the same robes, but their power is much stronger.
It feels like they are looking at five Little Red, these are five people at the 10-star Earth ranked stage.
The five of them opened up a path, as a slender figure started to walk forward, a seductive beauty, with alluring a.s.sets to behold, her two peaks half displayed with an hourgla.s.s figure, yet Mo Xie is not the least moved, no, rather, his rage is already towering.
"Mo Xie, did you have to suddenly disappear? I was so lonely that I missed you so much."
The lady spoke with a bewitching gentle tone, but she's releasing a powerful energy, the power of a peak Gold ranked pract.i.tioner.
Mo Xie's expression drastically changed: "How... how dare you kill one of my men..."
Mo Xie's killing intent is started to spread out of his body, this time, it is not a bit that's coming out of his eyes, but from his whole body, the amount of bloodl.u.s.t has actually formed a black and red aura around him.
Everyone felt its horrendous aura, both allies and foes trembled, even the 10-star Earth rank Coralists couldn't help but s.h.i.+ver. If Mo Xie actually has a cultivation base of a Black Gold rank, these experts would've already kneeled on the ground with trembling bodies.
"Who killed him..." Mo Xie asked as he looked at the five people in front of him.
