Sovereign of the Heaven - C201
The Mo Family was famous for being a demonic cultivator, but in reality, not everyone was a demonic cultivator. The Mo Family had a large amount of power, and there were a lot of people training in demonic techniques, thus they were labeled as a demonic cultivator. In reality, however, there were only Mo Xiuqi and the rest.
Mo Xiuqi was furious that the sword blood was stolen, and snorted: “Are they going to die for nothing?”
Mo Xiuwen shook his head: “If we find the person who killed them, my Mo Family will naturally not let him go. After all, the Blood-Drinking Sword must find something extraordinary before we can find it.
Hearing this, everyone turned silent, it was time for Mo Family to train the next Family Head, and this position was very important, there were many people in the younger generation in Mo Family who were suitable, if they wanted to obtain the position of the next successor, it was inevitable that they would kill each other.
However, everyone wanted their children to be the next successors, so for a time, no one was willing to speak.
“I suggest that the Demon Abyss inherit the position of the Family Head,” At this time, Mo Xiuniang spoke up. His son had already been killed, so he might as well support Mo Xiuqi.
Mo Xiuqi did not say a word, even if he did not support it nor oppose it.
“I support Mo Feng,” someone else said. This person was Mo Xiuwen’s supporter.
“I feel that Mo Xiao is the strongest amongst the younger generation, I choose him.” The person who spoke was called Mo Hong. He was ranked eighth in the Mo Family and Mo Xiao was his son.
However, when everyone heard Mo Hong mention Mo Xiao, they were slightly stunned.
“Eighth brother, Xiao’er is only fourteen years old right now, but he’s too young. It doesn’t seem appropriate for him to cultivate to Family Head.”
Devil Hong disapprovingly said, “Although he is relatively young, his talent is very good. He has already broken through to the seventh level of the Martial King realm.”
“Seventh level of the Martial King realm?” It was extremely rare to cultivate to this realm at this age, even Mo Feng was unable to do so. Before this, Mo Xiao had always been very low profile in the Mo Family, but now he had actually silently cultivated to this level?
“Not only that, I had him attempt to cultivate the Desolation Spell previously, but he actually managed to learn it. It seems that no one in our Mo Family has been able to learn it in a long time.”
“Mo Xiao can actually cultivate such an evil technique?” The Desolation Spell was passed down in the ancestors of the Mo Family, but it was extremely evil and very difficult to cultivate, and no one in the Mo Family had learnt it in the past few years. Furthermore, it was very vicious, and required a large amount of human blood during cultivation, so the cultivation of the Mo Family was forbidden, but who would have thought that Xiao Xiao would not only try to cultivate it, but actually learn it too?
Mo Xiuwen said with a hint of anger: “Eighth brother, this Desolation Spell is too evil, why didn’t you let Mo Xiao cultivate to let me know?”
Mo Xiuqi frowned: “But this technique is too evil, he is still young and immature, if I learn it, I am afraid it will bring harm to our Mo Family, I think it is better not to let him train in it.”
The Desolation Spell was a forbidden technique. If a person did not have sufficient willpower, it could easily be controlled by the technique. If that were to happen, even the Mo Family would be in trouble. ”
I am only trying to let him cultivate. If he were to really learn it, it would only increase the power of our Mo Family by a step, and it would definitely bring about hundreds of benefits to him. I don’t think you guys would be afraid of losing your children to Xiao’er, so you don’t want him to cultivate, right? ”
The Desolation Spell was the most powerful technique in the Mo Family, if Mo Xiao were to learn it, not to mention the Demon Abyss, Mo Feng and the others, even Mo Xiuqi’s generation would be surpassed by him sooner or later. This was also the reason why Mo Xiuqi was unwilling to let Mo Xiao cultivate, but since Mo Xiao was able to do so, he could not stop him.
“If you want him to cultivate, that’s up to you, but you must not affect our Mo Family.”
still agreed in the end. Originally, others still had their objections, but after hearing what Mo Xiuwen had said, they couldn’t oppose it anymore.
There were a lot of geniuses in the Mo Family, so it was naturally not just Mo Xiao, but practically every member of the younger generation would support him. Of course, one would also have to look at’s talent, temperament, and other comprehensive factors to become the successor of the Family Head.
Mo Xiuqi saw that everyone had different opinions, and said: “Since that’s the case, let’s have everyone from Mo Family fight a round, and choose a few stronger than the others.”
Mo Xiuwen retorted, “That won’t do. Our Mo Family’s disciples have trained for a long time, so their strength is naturally stronger. However, having a strong cultivation right now doesn’t mean that their future cultivation will be strong.”
If it was a competition, then the Demon Abyss would probably be the strongest, he would definitely become the Family Head, but that would be unfair for the others, and many people agreed with Mo Xiuwen’s suggestion.
Mo Xiuqi frowned: Then what do you think we should do?
Mo Xiuwen said: “Aren’t many prisoners in our Mo Family? These prisoners have always been ferocious, I think only by competing with prisoners of a certain level can we see through a person’s talent, what about it?”
Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Those prisoners were all powerful individuals, and if any one of the younger generation in the Mo Family could defeat those prisoners, then they naturally did not have the qualifications to inherit the position of the Family Head.
“Alright, then it’s decided,” Mo Xiuqi agreed. “We will conduct a preliminary test in a month’s time and select a few candidates.”
The others also agreed one after another in order to give the juniors a chance to adjust.
After that, everyone left one by one. After everyone had left, Mo Yuner and Mo Feng walked in, leaving Mo Xiuwen and the other two in the hall.
“Yun’er, Feng’er, you’re back?” Seeing the two return, Mo Xiuwen was pleasantly surprised, he was quite satisfied with the two of them.
Mo Yuner said: “Father, Sixth Brother and I revealed our identities, so we had no choice but to come back.”
Mo Xiuwen frowned: “What’s going on, all of you have never considered yourselves to be from the Mo Family in the outside world, how could you be exposed?”
Mo Yuner said: “We discovered the identity of the person who killed Mo Xie and the others, and in order to capture him, we exposed his identity. I think the Famous Sword Academy will not be able to return.”
It seemed like she really wanted to return to the Famous Sword Academy. It was just that her identity as a Mo Family Cultivator was too sensitive, and if she went back to the Academy as a Mo Family, she would be rejected, and there would even be danger.
Mo Xiuwen laughed indifferently: “It’s fine if you don’t want to go back, but it just so happens that next month will be the start of the next successor selection for our Mo Family. You guys have returned at the right time.”
“Next month?” Mo Feng was startled for a moment. “Father, how could you be so fast?”
Normally, Mo Family would stay in power for at least thirty years, but Mo Xiuwen had only twenty years. It was too early for him to choose the next family now.
Mo Xiuwen laughed bitterly: “You also know that your uncle had always been unconvinced after losing to me, so all these years he has been thinking of ways to let the Demon Abyss inherit the position of the Family Head. His position in our Mo Family is very important, your third uncle, fourth uncle and the others all support him, so I have no choice.”
Mo Feng’s face was filled with anticipation: This is good too, my cultivation has improved a lot over the years, I also want to see if I have the qualifications to do so.
Mo Feng had always wanted to inherit the position of the Family Head, but in fact, Mo Xiuwen didn’t think too highly of him.
Mo Yuner didn’t care, whoever became the Family Head would be the same to her, as long as it did not affect her cultivation, then it would be fine. This was also what disappointed Mo Xiuwen the most, she actually thought highly of Mo Yuner.
Mo Xiuwen changed the subject, “You just said that you captured the person who killed Mo Xie and the others. Where is he?”
Mo Yuner said: “I let the devil soul take them to the dungeon, they are still locked up right now.”
“A dungeon?” Mo Xiuwen was startled, then said: “That place is extremely dangerous, I am afraid that he is already dead.”
Originally, she only wanted to lock Di Chen up, and had never thought of killing him before. However, she did not know if the devil soul would think like that, if they had locked him up with those other dangerous people, he would probably be dead by now.
Mo Yuner immediately rushed towards the dungeon, and arrived a few minutes later. Di Chen was reading a book, so Zi Yan snuggled up to Di Chen, and the others also went to rest. In a corner of the dungeon, there was a man lying in a pool of blood, he seemed to have been killed already.
Seeing that Di Chen was still alive, Mo Yuner heaved a sigh of relief. She ordered someone to open the cell door, and said: “Di Chen, Zi Yan, the two of you come out.”
Di Chen walked out with Qin Er. Mo Yuner nodded her head at the man’s corpse and said: “Did you kill him?”
Di Chen casually said: “He’s the one who wants to kill me, I’m just protecting myself.”
Mo Yuner thought that the Demon Soul really wanted to kill them, but she felt that it was strange, why did the Demon Soul want to kill them all of a sudden?
“Come with me,” Mo Yuner thought to herself. She couldn’t keep Di Chen in the prison for the time being, otherwise, the two of them would be in danger.
Mo Xiuwen looked at Di Chen and frowned, “Yun’er, it was the two of them that killed Mo Xie and the rest?”
Mo Yuner pointed at Di Chen and said: “Father, it was him who killed Mo Xie and the others.”
Mo Xiuwen looked up and down at Di Chen. Similarly, he did not sense any spirit energy from Di Chen’s body, and frowned: “If there are no spirit energy fluctuations, then he should not be a warrior. To be able to kill Mo Xie and the others, it shows that his strength is not weak.
Other than the fact that the literati did not have any elemental energy, there was also a group of Magi in the western part of the Martial Region Continent.
Mo Feng explained: “He is indeed a literati, and is currently at the fourth level of King Wen. However, he is not a pure literati, and his strength is also very strong.”
Mo Xiuwen curiously looked at Di Chen, thinking that literati’s body had always been weak, there must be a secret behind this guy’s powerful strength.
“Right?” Mo Xiuwen said in surprise: “Yun’er, why did you bring him back?”
Mo Yuner thought for a while and said: “I want to give him to father for treatment. If father feels that he’s a talent or can keep him, if not, then I’ll just leave him to Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle and the others.”
Mo Yuner’s third and fourth uncle were exactly the fathers of Mo Xie and the others, so handing them over the treatment would be considered as giving them an explanation.
