392: Chapter 392 Mo Feng's reaction upon learning that Xu Ruyu had committed murder was truly surprising.

Mo Ran scrambled out of the cave, stumbling all the way, not knowing how many times he had fallen.

His face was covered in blood—it was from when he had tripped over a corpse earlier; the wound on his forehead was still seeping blood, but he couldn't care about the pain, only focused on running for his life.

Run, run as far as possible!

That Xu Ruyu, he is not human! He is a devil!

Images of the scene in the cave kept flashing through Mo Ran's mind—those lackeys who had followed Zhou Jingxing for years, one by one, lying in pools of blood, the bloody holes in their foreheads shocking to behold.

Their screams before death, their wails of begging for mercy, and Xu Ruyu's eyes, as cold as if he were looking at the dead...

He shuddered and ran even faster.

He had to find his Great-Uncle! Only his Great-Uncle could save him! Only his Great-Uncle could deal with that devil!

In Mo Feng's private courtyard.

Mo Feng was sitting in his study, holding an ancient book in his hand, but his gaze drifted outside the window, clearly distracted.

Ever since he was punished by the Taihao Clan to clean the Spirit Toilet, he had been holding in a breath of resentment.

As a dignified Elder of the Taihu Clan, having lived for nearly a thousand years, he actually had to go and clean such a filthy place!

This was simply a supreme humiliation!

Although he only cleaned for a few days before the Clan Chief intervened to plead for him, letting the Taihao Clan waive his punishment, he would never forget the humiliation of those few days for the rest of his life.

And all of this was because of Xu Ruyu!

A glimmer of resentment flashed in Mo Feng's eyes. He slammed the ancient book onto the table, stood up, walked to the window, looked toward the direction of Qixia Valley, and whispered through gritted teeth:

"Xu Ruyu... just you wait... one day, I will make you wish you were dead..."

Just then, the door to the study was violently kicked open.

"Great-Uncle! Great-Uncle, save me!"

Mo Ran rushed in stumbling, his face covered in blood and grime, his clothes tattered, looking utterly disheveled.

As soon as he entered, he threw himself onto the ground, hugging Mo Feng's legs and wailing loudly.

Mo Feng was startled and quickly helped him up: "Ran'er? What happened to you? What's going on?"

Mo Ran was sobbing so hard he couldn't catch his breath, his whole body trembling: "Xu... Xu Ruyu... he... he killed Zhou Jingxing! He killed more than a dozen people! They're all dead! They're all dead!"

Mo Feng's pupils constricted sharply, and he grabbed Mo Ran by the shoulders, sternly saying: "What did you say? Speak clearly!"

Mo Ran took a few deep breaths and recounted the events intermittently—how they encountered Xiao Nianyin, how he recognized her identity, how they abducted her to the cave, how Zhou Jingxing wanted to force himself on her, how Xu Ruyu suddenly appeared, killed Zhou Jingxing with a gunshot to the head, and then how he killed those who begged for mercy, those who fled, and those who knelt to beg for mercy, one by one...

"They're all dead! They're all dead!" Mo Ran trembled all over, "Zhou Xing is dead, Zhou Er is dead, Zhou Lin is dead... they're all dead! Xu Ruyu is not human! He is a devil!"

After listening, Mo Feng stood frozen on the spot.

But soon, the shock on his face gradually turned into wild joy!

"Hahahaha!" He laughed toward the sky, laughing until tears almost came out, "Xu Ruyu, oh Xu Ruyu, you have such a day too!"

Mo Ran was stunned by his reaction: "Great-Uncle... why are you laughing? Xu Ruyu killed so many of our people..."

Mo Feng stopped smiling, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Ran'er, you don't understand. Him killing people—the more he kills, the better! It would be best if he killed off the entire younger generation of the Taihu Clan!"

Mo Ran was completely bewildered: "Great-Uncle, you..."

Mo Feng patted his shoulder and sneered: "Think about it, who did he kill? They were Taihu Clan disciples! No matter what those people did, they were still members of the Taihu Clan!"

"Xu Ruyu is an outsider, by what right does he kill my clan's disciples? Even if those people committed faults, they should be dealt with by our clan's Law Enforcement Hall; it is not for an outsider like him to take action!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, pacing back and forth in the study: "By killing them, he has effectively handed me a handle to use against him!"

"Before, I couldn't do anything about him because the Clan Chief was protecting him, and the Taihao Clan Old Ancestor was protecting him."

"But now, he has killed! He killed more than a dozen of my clan's disciples! If this matter spreads, let's see how the Clan Chief can still protect him! Let's see how the Taihao Clan can still protect him!"

Mo Ran finally realized, and his eyes lit up too: "Great-Uncle, you mean..."

Mo Feng sneered: "Spread it! Spread this matter throughout the entire Tianyin Mountain! Let everyone know that the Holy Master Xu, who is held up to the heavens by the Clan Chief, that so-called Holy Master, killed over a dozen innocent Taihu Clan disciples!"

He paused, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes: "Of course, there is no need to mention what those people went there for. Just say it was a chance encounter, a sparring session, a misunderstanding. Anyway, there are no witnesses, so we can say whatever we want."

Mo Ran nodded repeatedly, but then became a bit worried: "Great-Uncle, what if... what if someone investigates? Those bodies..."

Mo Feng waved his hand: "Bodies? Zhou Jingxing and those people, if they are missing, they are missing. Who can prove it was Xu Ruyu who killed them? Who saw it? You? You didn't see anything; you only heard some rumors."

He looked at Mo Ran meaningfully.

Mo Ran understood and quickly said: "Right, right, right! I didn't see anything! I just heard someone say that Xu Ruyu killed my clan's disciples!"

Mo Feng nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Now, go and invite Elder Kumu and Elder Hu Yong, and say that I have important matters to discuss."
