90: Misfortune and fortune

Mo Xuan subtly glanced around, sighing inwardly. The lives of everyone in this city were now fixed at this moment.

The life and death of the weak were decided in a single thought by others.

He felt a slight sense of urgency. Although he had successfully obtained the Golden Core Stage Legacy from Qianmo Valley this time, his own strength was still insufficient.

If he were a Golden Core Stage True Person, why would he resort to such a desperate measure?

Shaking his head, he dispelled the slight complexity in his heart, then flew towards Zhou Leren with Liu Wenyan's Storage Pouch and sun-shining mirror.

Zhou Leren felt a slight relief when he saw Mo Xuan return safely. He quickly emerged from his hiding place and waved at Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan sent out a stream of Magical Power, pulling Zhou Leren to his side, and flew towards Jade Moon Peak in Qingyuan Town.

"Old Ancestor, what was that about just now?"

Along the way, Zhou Leren finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked Mo Xuan.

"Good news. From now on, the Zhou Family will have no obstacles in Qingyuan Town."

Mo Xuan was in a good mood. After being beaten up at the Crescent Moon Sect, now that Liu Wenyan was killed, he finally felt much better.

He briefly explained to Zhou Leren but didn't say much more.

Seeing that Mo Xuan had no intention of continuing, although Zhou Leren was still extremely curious, he decisively chose to close his mouth and did not press further.

"No more obstacles..."

Thinking about what Mo Xuan had just said, Zhou Leren was pensive.

Qingyuan Town.

When Liu Wenyan fled and Zhou Kaiding fell unconscious, the Cultivators from various families felt as if they had survived a catastrophe, their expressions dazed.

That Old Ancestor Liu Wenyan suddenly went mad, killing everyone he saw, which was terrifying. Fortunately, Old Ancestor Zhou was there. If Old Ancestor Zhou hadn't stepped forward, it would have been... Everyone felt a sense of relief. The tragic state of the market and the Wang Family truly left everyone shocked and fearful.

Jade Moon Peak.

The Zhou Family members looked at Zhou Kaiding, who lay on the bed, pale and with weak breathing, their eyes filled with worry.

"Alright, it's already a great blessing that Father returned safely. We just need to do our respective duties and wait for Father to wake up."

Zhou Licheng was now the Head of the Zhou Family. Seeing everyone's expressions, although he was anxious internally, as the Head of the Family, he had to remain calm and stabilize the overall situation.

The Zhou Family had not yet overcome the crisis. Although Liu Wenyan had temporarily retreated, there was no guarantee when he would attack again.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Wenyan fled, Zhou Licheng had already spread the news that Liu Wenyan was Cultivating evil techniques. Now, the major forces in the surrounding area and the Xuanqing Sect should have known, and he hoped it would have some effect.

This was all he could do. If Uncle Xuan were here, it would be great, Zhou Licheng sighed inwardly.

He dismissed everyone to maintain the normal operation of the Zhou Family, leaving only Lin Muwan to guard Zhou Kaiding.

During the changes in the market this time, Zhao Xuanfang, the Guest Elder of the Zhou Family stationed at Green Spirit Pavilion, died. Zhou Licheng still needed to handle the aftermath.

Fortune is where calamity lurks, and calamity is where fortune rests.

If Zhao Xuanfang had not agreed to join the Zhou Family and become a Guest Elder, perhaps he would not have suffered this tribulation.

But things in the world are always so unpredictable.

When Xu Hongyuan and Chen Shuyun received this news, they didn't know what to think, nor whether they had any regrets.

When Zhou Leren returned to the Zhou Family, he saw the Family on high alert, everyone looking heavy-hearted, and he couldn't help but panic, his face anxious, about to ask.

However, when Zhou Licheng and the others saw Zhou Leren, their feelings were completely different.

"Uncle Xuan."

Zhou Licheng and a few others stepped forward to greet him.

"What happened?"

Mo Xuan's voice was low, showing no emotion. Just as he entered the Great Formation, he sensed Zhou Kaiding's weak aura and knew that something had happened in his absence.

"That Liu Wenyan of the Liu Family was Cultivating evil techniques. Father went to stop him and fell into a coma upon his return. He hasn't woken up until today."

Seeing Mo Xuan's inquiry, Zhou Licheng kept his words concise, making a long story short.

It was because of Liu Wenyan?

Mo Xuan was slightly surprised, there was such Karma involved. It was not unjust that Liu Wenyan died by his hand.

Zhou Licheng looked at Mo Xuan and felt a sense of peace. During this time, with Mo Xuan absent and Zhou Kaiding in a coma, the pressure in his heart had been increasing daily.

Now that Mo Xuan had returned, he could finally relax a lot.

"Liu Wenyan has been killed by me. There's no need to worry about this anymore."

Mo Xuan said, and with a flash of mysterious light/aura (boundary), he disappeared from the sight of Zhou Licheng and the others.

"This..."

Zhou Licheng was shocked and looked at Zhou Leren, who was in a daze beside him.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either..."

Seeing a few people looking at him with inquisitive eyes, Zhou Leren finally came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly.

He also let out a long breath. The expressions of the crowd earlier had almost scared him to death.

In Zhou Kaiding's room, Mo Xuan's figure shrunk and appeared in mid-air.

"Senior Mo."

"Uncle Xuan."

Lin Muwan and Yang Linxi, who were attending to Zhou Kaiding, showed slight joy upon seeing Mo Xuan's figure and quickly stood up to greet him.

Mo Xuan looked at the two and nodded.

His Divine Sense probed into Zhou Kaiding's body.

After a long while, Mo Xuan withdrew his Divine Sense, feeling a slight relief. Although Zhou Kaiding was extremely weak now, his internal injuries were under control, and combined with the healing Medicinal Pills he had taken, his damaged Meridians and body were slowly recovering.

Now, it was just a matter of waiting.

"Senior Mo, Kaiding he..."

Lin Muwan saw Mo Xuan's investigation, her face hesitant, her tone worried.

"He's fine now, no need to worry too much."

Mo Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Muwan's eyes welled up with tears, and she murmured:

"That's good, that's good..."

After confirming that Zhou Kaiding was out of danger, Mo Xuan did not stay there any longer. After all, Lin Muwan and Yang Linxi were by his side, so he didn't need to worry.

Mo Xuan nodded to the two, then transformed into a mysterious light/aura (boundary) and disappeared.

Finding Zhou Licheng, Mo Xuan took out the Storage Pouch he had obtained from Liu Wenyan and the sun-shining mirror, handing them to him.

Mo Xuan had already inspected this Storage Pouch, taking out the Spirit Medicine that had some use for him, and leaving the rest in the Storage Pouch.

Afterward, he took out the stone disk obtained from underground in Qianmo Valley and the token formed by the fragment, handing them all to Zhou Licheng.

Although Zhou Kaiding was in a coma, Zhou Licheng already had the demeanor of the Head of the Zhou Family, so these matters could be safely entrusted to him to arrange.

After doing all this, Mo Xuan's figure flickered, and he returned once again to the giant tree on Feiyue Peak Summit.

Mo Xuan, familiar with the way, climbed up, found the most comfortable position, relaxed his mind, yawned, his eyes slightly narrowed, and began to sleep.

In the main hall of the Zhou Family, Zhou Licheng, Zhou Liyue, and Zhou Lihai were gathered.

Zhou Licheng took out all the items Mo Xuan had given him and placed them on the table.

The three examined them individually.

A complete Puhua Yuanlun Scripture, the Liu Family's Foundation Establishment Stage Legacy 'Blazing Sun Method', a first-order beast-taming Legacy, dozens of Spell Legacies, a second-order Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact 'sun-shining mirror', and several first-order High Grade Magical Artifacts.

There were also several secret recipes, many Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and Talismans, which the three carefully set aside. Once sorted, they would be placed in the Family treasure vault to strengthen the Family's foundation.

Liu Wenyan had refined all the members of the Liu Family, taking all the resources the Liu Family could carry, intending to use them as a boost to break through to a higher Realm. However, he didn't expect that in the end, it would all benefit the Zhou Family.
