94: Don't ask about death
Among the three brothers, the eldest, Xie Sandao, died honorably; the second, Bai Yongxiao, died hatefully; and the third, Pengcheng, died tragically.
No one would have imagined that the three major first-rate Immortal Clans, who were so influential in Yang Valley just a few months ago, would fall into the hands of the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.
Who is the Xiao Clan Immortal Family?
Many people had never heard of it.
Come to think of it, oh!
It's that small Immortal Clan that settled in the village decades ago.
It's quite old.
That's all.
But after today, it's different; they produced a Foundation Establishment Celestial!
In contrast, this was the ultimate fate of these three old Immortal Clans.
Mo Dengxian fled back to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, using countless life-saving spiritual talismans along the way.
Under the pressure of a Foundation Establishment Celestial, he had no choice but to be careful.
Mo Dengxian, who did not get the Foundation Establishment Pill, felt very heavy-hearted, and the Treasure Seeking Rat in his arms chirped incessantly.
That was its reaction when it passed Spoon Mountain.
Mo Wendao's heart stirred, but he dared not stop; instead, he ran even faster.
"Xiao Clan Immortal Family, it's you again, Xiao Clan Immortal Family!"
As he thought this, he flew into Xie Sandao's Immortal Clan's grand formation.
Seeing the tragic scene along the way, he was not surprised but rather pleased.
He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, things went smoothly on Wendao's side."
At this, he chuckled softly again: "What a pity, what a pity, they have no future left!"
"Well, I'll collect the resources of the three families, plus the treasures in Ku He's Storage Pouch, and with the connections I've accumulated over so many years at Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, I can still exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill for Dao'er.
Just wait, Xiao Clan Immortal Family, Xiao Qingyuan, right?
I, Mo Dengxian, will be back!"
Thinking this, he had already arrived at the central plaza, which was covered in blood and corpses.
He smiled from afar.
"Dao'er, father is back!"
He quickly strode forward a few steps, nodding with satisfaction: "My son is truly a Genius, with extraordinary talent; he was able to create a Bone-Changing Cultivation Technique from a partial scripture.
You actually managed to regrow your legs.
A blessing in disguise!"
As he spoke, he had already drawn near.
Seeing Mo Wendao standing barefoot, he couldn't help but exclaim with emotion.
A relieved smile also appeared on his face.
"Dao'er, don't worry, it doesn't matter if the Immortal Clan is gone. Now we don't lack resources. As long as my son and I are here, in a few decades, the Immortal Clan will exist again. It's just that my son and I might have to find a place to lay low for a while!"
But as he spoke, he felt something was off.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat Mo Wendao's shoulder.
"Dao'er, why aren't you speaking?"
But in the next second.
He watched helplessly as his son's body slowly tilted and fell.
He just toppled straight to the ground like that.
Thud—!
Mo Dengxian just stared blankly.
He saw that Mo Wendao's body was already stiff, and only when the corpse hit the ground did he notice a small wound on his heart.
It was a fatal blow from a Cultivator of a higher Realm.
There was no room for resistance.
He only had an inconspicuous penetrating wound on his chest.
"Dao...'er..."
Looking at Mo Wendao's corpse.
Mo Dengxian's throat emitted meaningless 'ah ah' sounds with difficulty, like metal scraping glass.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost voiceless.
It took a long while for him to finally regain consciousness, but he was completely insane.
Finally, he fell to his knees with a thud.
He howled at the sky, a shrill, frenzied roar like a vengeful spirit.
"Ah ah ah, who exactly was it—?!"
..."Have you heard? Old Ancestor's third wife is about to give birth, and many people are getting busy!"
"Old Ancestor?"
"That's Young Master Seventeen!"
"Huh?"
"Are you from our family? Young Master Seventeen became a Foundation Establishment Celestial, so of course he's our Old Ancestor! He's a great Immortal who can live for two hundred and forty years, so of course, we call him Old Ancestor!"
The little girl's face was full of pride.
"So that's how it is, sigh! But at least there's some good news recently; the atmosphere has been too oppressive these past few days!"
"Isn't it? Because Madam Qing's due date is approaching, Old Ancestor hasn't even held a Foundation Establishment banquet!"
"Isn't that right? You still don't know, do you? Those important figures who used to be so high and mighty outside now treat us servants with respect. It's completely different from before!"
"Really? Oh, you little imp, why have you been running to the outer courtyard so much lately? So that's the reason! Are you feeling amorous and looking for a man outside?"
"You... don't run, just wait until I get my hands on you!"
"Hehehe, if you're not convinced, come and catch me..."
The sound of silver-bell-like laughter and playful shouts came from the courtyard.
Time can dilute everything.
The Xiao Clan Immortal Family, like tender sprouts breaking through the soil after a storm, had faces filled with hope for the future.
However, what everyone didn't know was that one matter, like a towering mountain, weighed heavily on Xiao Qingyuan's heart.
After that day, Xiao Qingyuan immediately investigated the incident.
Nothing, big or small, was overlooked, and Mo Wendao's matter thus surfaced.
Wei Tao from the county city guard post came to pay his respects immediately.
Xiao Qingyuan exercised his right as the guardian and had him issue a public notice, seeking the Mo father and son.
This matter caused a huge stir.
If he hadn't managed to achieve Foundation Establishment, it would be truly hard to imagine what the outcome would have been.
He pondered in his heart.
He then turned his gaze to the Tianli Sect, who had obstructed him, finding it hard not to suspect if these people were secretly causing trouble behind the scenes.
Interestingly, after this woman was captured by him, she still thought someone would come to rescue her.
But a long time passed.
Xiao Qing was about to give birth.
She remained unheeded.
Until this day, Xiao Qingyuan once again came to the dungeon where she was imprisoned.
With a creak... the prison door slowly opened.
Light finally entered the dungeon made of profound iron.
The woman squinted, instinctively raising a hand to block it.
Xiao Qingyuan said faintly, "It's quite clear, no one from your Tianli Sect has come to rescue you!"
"You've been abandoned!"
