365: Chapter 365 Explanation? What explanation do you expect from the Taihao Clan?

“Bang!!!”

A massive boom erupted, making the entire valley tremble!

A pillar of pale gold light, twice as thick as the one from Xu Ruyu's previous gun, surged from the muzzle, instantly blasting toward the direction where those Disciples were fleeing!

Everywhere the light pillar passed, a deep trench was plowed into the ground, with gravel flying and dust filling the air!

Although those Disciples ran fast, how could they outrun a bullet? The light pillar grazed past them as it blasted through; though it wasn't a direct hit, the terrifying shockwave still sent them all flying, crashing heavily to the ground!

“Ah—!”

Miserable screams rose one after another.

Those Disciples were left dizzy and disoriented, covered in blood, lying on the ground wailing incessantly.

While their lives weren't in danger, this hit would keep them bedridden for at least a few months.

Taihao Clan put away the gun, blew on the nonexistent gunpowder smoke at the muzzle, and nodded with satisfaction.

“The power is decent. Xiao Yuer, this improved version is really good, much stronger than the last one.”

Xu Ruyu stood in the distance, watching this scene, his mouth twitching.

What should he say? Say “thank you for the praise”?

Yue Ling covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

“Let's go.” Taihao Clan walked toward the light screen in a swaggering manner, turning back to wave at Xu Ruyu, “No one is blocking us now.”

Xu Ruyu looked at the wailing Disciples on the ground, then at Taihao Clan's back, and followed with a bitter smile.

He knew that this time, trouble was brewing.

...

The news, as if it had grown wings, quickly flew to Mo Feng's courtyard.

“What?!” Mo Feng stood up abruptly, his eyes full of pleasant surprise, “You're saying Xu Ruyu's person injured the Disciples guarding the monument forest?”

The reporting Disciple knelt on the ground, nodding repeatedly: “Yes! I saw it with my own eyes!”

“A woman beside Xu Ruyu used something identical to his qi-breaking gun and blasted four Law Enforcement Hall Disciples away with one shot!”

“Those four are still lying in the medical infirmary right now!”

Mo Feng's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He paced back and forth, the smile on his face becoming more and more radiant.

“Good, good!” he murmured, “Xu Ruyu, oh Xu Ruyu, I thought you would keep hiding in Qixia Valley and never come out.”

“I didn't expect that after only this long, you'd start jumping out!”

He stopped abruptly and looked at the reporting Disciple: “Who is that woman? Did you see clearly?”

The reporting Disciple shook his head: “I don't know her, I've never seen her before.”

“She looks to be in her early thirties, wearing a green Daoist robe, and is quite beautiful.”

“There was also a woman in a moon-white dress with her, another unfamiliar face.”

Mo Feng's brow furrowed slightly.

Early thirties? Green Daoist robe? Never seen before?

Could it be a new Disciple Xu Ruyu recruited? Or someone from the Hehuan Sect?

But no matter who it was, injuring Law Enforcement Hall Disciples was a grave crime!

He immediately said to a Disciple beside him: “Go, invite Hall Master Li!”

“Tell him someone is causing trouble in the Transmission Monument Forest and has injured our clan's children; ask him to bring men over immediately!”

The Disciple took the order and left.

Mo Feng stood by the window, looking toward the Transmission Monument Forest, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

“Xu Ruyu, let's see how you escape this time.”

...

Outside the Transmission Monument Forest, Taihao Clan was leading Xu Ruyu and Yue Ling, swaggering toward the light screen.

Suddenly, a clamor of footsteps came from behind.

“Halt!”

With a sharp shout, dozens of figures swarmed from all directions, surrounding the three of them.

The leader was none other than the Law Enforcement Hall Master, Li Fengxing.

His expression was gloomy, cold light flickering in his eyes, followed by dozens of Law Enforcement Hall Disciples, each holding a Magical Artifact and exuding a menacing Aura.

Mo Feng was also in the crowd, a smug smile on his face.

“Xu Ruyu!” Li Fengxing said coldly, “You have some nerve! To actually instigate someone to injure my Law Enforcement Hall Disciples! Do you still have any respect for our Taihu Clan?!”

Before Xu Ruyu could speak, Taihao Clan had already turned around.

She looked at Li Fengxing, then at Mo Feng behind him, a mocking smile curling on her lips.

“Oh, you got here quite fast.”

Li Fengxing frowned and stared at her: “Who are you? Why did you attack and injure my Law Enforcement Hall Disciples?”

Taihao Clan tilted her head, looked at him, and said slowly: “You're asking me? I'd like to ask you, which idiot sent those fools to guard the monument forest? Who told them to make things difficult for Xu Ruyu?”

Li Fengxing's face darkened: “Why should I, the Hall Master, explain my actions to you? You injured my clan's children; you must give an explanation today!”

“An explanation?” Taihao Clan laughed, her smile exceptionally brilliant, “Fine, I'll give you an explanation.”

She pulled a token from her robe and casually tossed it to Li Fengxing.

Li Fengxing caught the token and looked down—

Then, his expression completely changed.

The token was made entirely of an unknown dark gold material, with an ancient rune carved on the front and two words on the back—'Taihao'.

Li Fengxing's hands began to tremble.

He naturally knew what those two words represented.

The Taihao Clan!

The Taihu Clan's Saint Realm Artifact Refiner! An Old Ancestor-level figure who had lived for tens of thousands of years!

The existence rumored to live in seclusion within the inner layer of the Illusory Moon Well!

He looked up abruptly at the woman before him, who was munching on a spirit fruit, carrying a big gun, and lacking any semblance of a dignified image, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“You... You are...”

Taihao Clan took back the token and said leisurely: “What? Do you still want me to give an explanation?”

Li Fengxing opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.

Mo Feng watched from the side, bewildered. He stepped forward and said, “Hall Master Li, what's wrong? Who is this woman? Why are you...”

“Shut up!”

Li Fengxing barked, cutting him off, a flash of annoyance in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Taihao Clan, his voice trembling: “This Junior did not know the Old Ancestor had arrived; I have offended you. Please forgive me, Old Ancestor!”

Old Ancestor?!

Mo Feng was completely dumbfounded.

The Law Enforcement Hall Disciples behind him were all dumbfounded as well.

Taihao Clan waved her hand and said indifferently: “Fine, those who do not know are not at fault. However—”

She looked at the Disciples still wailing on the ground, then at Mo Feng, her lips curling into a meaningful smile:

“Hall Master Li, since when did our Taihu Clan's Transmission Monument Forest have a rule like 'all spots are full'?”

Li Fengxing's expression changed as he suddenly glared at Mo Feng.

Mo Feng's face instantly turned deathly pale.
