191: Chapter 191 Disobeying the Ancestors' Decision

As he finished speaking, Tang Mo reached out and pushed forward, and an air door instantly appeared before his eyes.

Under Wei Shenchou's curious gaze, Tang Mo walked straight inside.

Subsequently, Tang Mo's figure appeared within the villa district, leaving Wei Shenchou dumbfounded.

At this moment, Si Yueze also noticed Tang Mo suddenly appearing in the villa district. A smile immediately broke out on his face, and with a wave of his hand, he drove away all the construction crew members.

Si Yueze and Wei Shenchou arrived at the edge of the shield, wanting to tell Tang Mo the specific location of the Duanmu Family.

However, Tang Mo, who was inside the shield, could only see them opening their mouths but could not hear any sound.

"So this shield also has a soundproofing effect."

Tang Mo gestured to the two of them, indicating that he couldn't hear them. Afterward, they prepared to try using the heavenly sword token to communicate, and to their surprise, it actually worked.

"The cluster of villas at the center of the district is the Duanmu Family. First, find a way to figure out how to remove this shield."

Wei Shenchou's voice came through the heavenly sword token.

Tang Mo nodded, gave the two an OK gesture, and then started walking inside.

Removing a Saint-grade shield was likely impossible; even the Heavenly Sword Bureau had no way to do it. Tang Mo didn't think these family forces could manage it. Looking at the villa cluster located in the very center, even from a distance, he could still clearly feel that aura of opulence.

Tang Mo's lips curled up, "These guys are definitely filthy rich."

To ensure nothing went wrong, Tang Mo released the Domain of Poison in advance to prevent the people inside from noticing anything unusual and doing something dangerous.

After walking closer, Tang Mo was once again severely shocked by this opulent villa cluster.

At the very center, a huge villa like a palace sat steadily there, surrounded by a dozen exquisite smaller villas like stars surrounding the moon. The perimeter of the villa district was further separated from the outside world by a barbed wire fence.

Tang Mo jumped directly over the fence and entered the villa cluster.

With his powerful mental perception, Tang Mo quickly found the members of the Duanmu Family hiding in the villa's basement.

Just after entering the villa, Tang Mo encountered a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits, standing blankly in various positions within the villa, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Although called bodyguards, they were actually death-sworn soldiers raised by the Duanmu Family. Upon seeing Tang Mo enter, the eyes of those bodyguards immediately became ferocious. If they hadn't been frozen in place, they would have likely rushed over to tear Tang Mo apart long ago.

Before they could speak, a terrifying mental pressure swept over them. Instantly, the eyes of all the bodyguards in the area became clear. Under Tang Mo's manipulation, these death-sworn soldiers detailed the structure of the Duanmu Family's basement and the location of all their assets.

"So all the assets are in the basement!"

Tang Mo rubbed his chin and then directed the black-suited death-sworn soldiers to lead the way. At this moment, the men and women in the Duanmu Family's basement were ashen-faced. They had seen everything that happened just now through the surveillance monitors. The death-sworn soldiers of the family had actually defected just like that and were currently leading the enemy here. What to do? What were they going to do?

This group of well-equipped death-sworn soldiers, whose levels and strength were definitely top-tier within the Great Xia territory, had been taken down so easily by the opponent. From this, it was evident that the newcomer's strength was definitely not low.

Even though these members of the Duanmu Family were covered in supreme-grade equipment, they would absolutely not be his match.

"Where are the other death-sworn soldiers? Why haven't we seen any movement from them even though the enemy has broken into the house?"

The person speaking was Duanmu Hongkuo's younger brother, Duanmu Hongzhen, a powerful Alchemist and also the pillar of the family.

The other death-sworn soldiers he spoke of were currently lying in ambush in the surrounding villas. Moreover, each death-sworn soldier carried a magic energy crystal by their side, intended for them to perish together with the enemy if anyone dared to threaten the Duanmu Family.

However, what he didn't know was that those death-sworn soldiers were currently frozen in place by Tang Mo's skill and were completely unable to move.

And since the Duanmu Family's basement was located 100 meters underground, it was not affected by the Domain of Poison, so they naturally didn't know what was happening above.

On the surveillance, those death-sworn soldiers were all standing there conscientiously. That was why Duanmu Hongzhen was so angry.

"Hongzhen, what should we do?!" a beautiful woman beside him asked in terror.

Duanmu Hongzhen was about to flare up; saying something so spineless at this time would only cause everyone to fall into a panic. But when he turned and saw Liu Ruyan crying with a face full of tears, he swallowed the reprimand that had already reached his lips.

Duanmu Hongzhen had long coveted Liu Ruyan's beauty but had not expected his own big brother to get there first.

He worked like a horse to refine magic energy crystals for the family and should have enjoyed the highest status in the family, yet his big brother Duanmu Hongkuo treated him like a monkey. Moreover, he had now placed the entire family in such a dangerous situation. The more Duanmu Hongzhen thought about it, the angrier he became.

"If Duanmu Hongkuo dies outside this time, wouldn't everything belonging to the Duanmu Family become mine?"

Thinking of this, a trace of sinister intent flashed in Duanmu Hongzhen's eyes. At this moment, everyone from the Duanmu Family in the basement was looking at Duanmu Hongzhen, and he enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention immensely.

But he understood that this was no time for wild thoughts; if he was even slightly careless, the entire Duanmu Family would likely be wiped out.

On the surveillance screen, Tang Mo had already entered the basement passage under the guidance of the death-sworn soldiers and was about to enter the basement.

Duanmu Hongzhen hardened his heart and directly made a decision that betrayed his ancestors: surrender!

Yes, surrender to Tang Mo alone. But it couldn't exactly be considered surrendering to Tang Mo alone; it was surrendering to the Great Xia official authorities that Tang Mo represented.

In Duanmu Hongzhen's view, someone who dared to break into the Duanmu Family alone must be from the Great Xia official authorities. By proactively confessing the issues to the Great Xia authorities and pushing all the faults and crimes onto Duanmu Hongkuo, the crisis facing the Duanmu Family might be resolved.

Perish together? He, Duanmu Hongzhen, did not want that result.

Even if the Duanmu Family's glory was no more after this, he, Duanmu Hongzhen, was an Alchemist. He believed that with his skills, the Duanmu Family would surely be able to restore its past glory. As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.

Once Duanmu Hongzhen said this, he received the agreement of most of the Duanmu Family members. There was no time to get everyone to agree, so Duanmu Hongzhen took the family members who agreed and went to open the basement door himself to welcome Tang Mo's arrival.

Tang Mo discovered their figures from afar. After a terrifying mental pressure, Duanmu Hongzhen and the others were directly controlled by the Hallucinogenic Gas.

Seeing that Duanmu Hongzhen was sturdy and had an extraordinary bearing, Tang Mo immediately issued an order to him, "Hurry up and bring out all the assets the Duanmu Family has hidden."

Duanmu Hongzhen's expression was numb; he bowed his head and turned back. To prevent any trickery, Tang Mo waited in the basement passage.
