"Miss Mo, please come in."
Mo Chen drifted over and looked at Xiao Chen with her gem-like eyes. Xiao Chen wore ordinary clothes, and his long hair was unkempt, casually draped over his shoulders.
She could not see any precious Secret Treasures or ornaments that could reveal his identity.
Xiao Chen's cultivation was indeed only that of a Martial Monarch. However, such a person had beaten up Young Master Xing to the point where he could not even retaliate.
Mo Chen compared Xiao Chen to the outstanding talents of the great seas that she had seen. She had seen many true outstanding talents of the Southern Sea.
They were all young, and they were all Superior Grade Martial Sages. There were even some geniuses of the Zodiac Hall who were grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
Compared to those people, Xiao Chen's aura was clearly different. There was no trace of the arrogance of a genius.
However, Xiao Chen's eyes were boundlessly deep, unfathomable and unfathomable.
"Young Master does not seem surprised at Mo Chen's appearance," Mo Chen said softly.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I was the one who lured you here in the first place. How could I be surprised? Sit!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and a chair flew into the air and landed firmly beside Mo Chen.
The two sat down, and Mo Chen took out the pendant around her neck. There was a red Remnant White Flower ornament hanging from the green leaf-like necklace.
It was bright in color and gave off a beautiful glow. However, the feeling it gave off was one of uncontrollable grief.
In the language of flowers, the Remnant White Flower represented passionate love.
However, this Remnant White Flower before Xiao Chen was a wilted flower.
At its most beautiful moment, it wilted and withered, no longer passionate. The lover was gone, leaving only grief lingering in the heart.
Before Xiao Chen's eyes, the Remnant White Flower gave off a flowing light. A strong wind blew, and crystalline petals flew out.
The strong wind was merciless, and the Remnant White Flower was like blood, piercing one's heart and filling it with grief.
That's right. This is definitely refined from the Grief Throne. It is horrifying enough to affect my emotions.
If I get affected by this pendant in battle, I will be consigned to eternal damnation if I get careless.
Xiao Chen stabilized his emotions and raised his guard.
"You boarded the Purple Cloud Ship for this Broken Flower Pendant, right?"
Given Mo Chen's intelligence, if she still could not guess why Xiao Chen had been staring at her chest back then, she would really be living up to her reputation.
Broken Flower Pendant?
Could it be that the other party did not know that this was the original form of the Grief Throne, forged by the Ancient Era's Paragon, the Evil King?
"This is a pendant passed down in my Mo Clan. In terms of usage, it is even more valuable than some strong King Grade Secret Treasures." Mo Chen continued, "If Young Master wants this pendant, it is not impossible. Just be my bodyguard for one year. After one year, I will hand it over to Young Master."
A year of bodyguard meant that he had to ensure the other party's safety for a year.
Xiao Chen replied calmly, "It is not impossible for me to be your bodyguard for a year. However, a pendant alone is not worth me staying in the Mo Clan for a year."
Mo Chen frowned slightly and said, "What bold words! A Sage Body that can bring out five Dragon Force is barely equal to a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. In the Shattered Cloud Sea, although grandmaster-level Martial Sages are strong, they are not at the peak. My Mo Clan does not fear grandmaster-level Martial Sages, either.
"If not for the situation forcing me, I would not have made such a decision. After all, this Broken Flower Pendant is an item passed down in my Mo Clan."
Mo Chen's tone was very forceful, even somewhat angry. She felt that Xiao Chen overestimated himself.
Using the Broken Flower Pendant to hire the other party for a year already cost him a lot. Yet, he was still not satisfied.
Xiao Chen clearly grasped the other party's tone. He smiled and did not argue. "Very well, you are right. I am only as strong as a Martial Sage. How about this: I will agree to your request first. However, how about we make a bet? "
"What bet?"
"If one day, you feel that using the Broken Flower Pendant to hire me for a year is a good deal, then agree to another request of mine. Of course, this request will not cross the line. It will not violate the most basic etiquette. "
Under the veil, Mo Chen's lips curled up slightly. She smiled confidently and said, "You are extraordinarily arrogant. Even those genius disciples of Zodiac Hall would not speak to me like this. I'll bet with you!"
This girl was indeed someone who had seen the world. No wonder she was so disdainful of that Young Master Xing.
Compared to the disciples of Zodiac Hall, the outstanding youths of the Cloud Sea Domain were not worth mentioning.
However, what were the disciples of Zodiac Hall in Xiao Chen's eyes? Even the top female disciple of the Moon Palace had to flee while covering her face.
"Hehe! Xiao Chen, you have really suffered a great loss this time. In less than half a year, you will recover your strength. At that time, your Heavenly Sage Laws will immediately take form. Together with Neptune's Crown, even a regular Blue Robed Emperor would not be a match for you. "
After Mo Chen left, Ao Jiao smiled gently.
"I have to obtain the Waning Flower Pendant. However, in her hands, she can immediately destroy it with a thought. I might as well agree to it first. After all, she will definitely lose the bet. At that time, it will not be a loss if I borrow the Solar True Flame. "
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said indifferently.
The matter of Xiao Chen becoming Mo Chen's bodyguard quickly spread like a whirlwind throughout the entire warship.
"That's impossible!"
This was the first thing all the Mo Clan cultivators said when they heard the news.
Miss Mo Chen's standards had always been very high. She had rejected many outstanding young talents of the Cloud Sea Domain, even those outstanding talents of the Southern Sea. She had even rejected them mercilessly.
However, this was the truth. Xiao Chen had indeed become Mo Chen's bodyguard.
"Miss, this person's origins are unknown. Isn't it too unreliable to make him a bodyguard?" Uncle Wang said anxiously to Mo Chen in the control room.
"Is that so? Does Uncle Wang feel that there is a better candidate? Uncle Wang, you should be very clear on the intentions of those people who approached me in the Cloud Sea Domain, "Mo Chen countered.
Steward Wang was speechless. These people were just drooling over her beauty and the Mo Clan's unique refining techniques.
While their origins were very clean, their intentions were not that simple.
"Aren't there still the few outstanding young masters of the Southern Sea? I think the disciples of the Zodiac Hall and the Southern Sea King's scions are pretty good. "
Mo Chen said sullenly, "These people are indeed pretty good. Their family backgrounds are vast and do not care about the current Mo Clan. However, they are too strong. If they are tempted by benefits, the consequences will be worse.
"This person is the most suitable candidate. His goal is clear, and I know what he wants. His strength is also passable. However, he is somewhat arrogant and wants to make a bet with me … "
"Bet? What bet? "Uncle Wang asked out of curiosity.
Mo Chen stopped speaking and changed the topic. "Nothing much, just a bet that he will definitely lose. Uncle Wang, how many more days until we reach Starry Cloud Island?"
"Seven days. It looks like the Liu Clan's people will not appear. We can successfully complete the City Lord's request this time."
"We cannot continue like this. We should think of a way to resolve this once and for all."
Mo Chen did not show any joy on her face.
How could Uncle Wang not think the same way? He sighed and said, "It will be difficult. The Liu Clan's refining skills are not as strong as ours. However, the Clan Head is a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage. Furthermore, he has the largest merchant association of the Cloud Sea Domain, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, behind him."
"Rumble …!"
Suddenly, the entire purple warship shook intensely. Mo Chen's expression changed, and she waved her hand.
Formations flickered in the control room. Formation markings immediately spread out on the ground, walls, and inside the control room. The entire space turned resplendent.
A water screen appeared around Mo Chen, showing the situation around the purple warship.
Four black warships descended from the sky like specters and surrounded the purple warship. Beams of light from the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons bombarded the purple warship continuously.
"They really picked the right time!"
In another day, the purple warship would enter the range of Starry Cloud Island. Just when everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the Liu Clan's people finally charged out.
"I'll go out and take a look!"
Right after Steward Wang spoke, he quickly left the control room and went to the deck.
The normally empty deck was now filled with Mo Clan cultivators. All of them had grave expressions and had drawn their weapons long ago. Killing Qi radiated from their foreheads.
"Hehe! Old Wang, we meet again. Call your clan's Young Miss out."
Opposite the purple warship was a tall, wolf-headed warship. Two black-clad cultivators, one old and one young, stood on the wolf-headed warship. The youth on the right smiled evilly at Mo Chen.
The old man beside him gave off an indistinct aura. Unexpectedly, it was the aura of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
Three old men walked out of the other three wolf-headed warships. A strong wind blew; they were all Superior Grade Martial Sages.
Including the two old men beside the youth, the Liu Clan had a total of three Superior Grade Martial Sages and one grandmaster-level Martial Sage. In terms of strength, they definitely surpassed the Mo Clan's cultivators.
Uncle Wang could not be bothered with this person. He analyzed his countermeasures. The Liu Clan's people exceeded his expectations.
Aside from the Clan Head, who was a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, the peak combat power of the Liu Clan had practically come out in full force.
This was completely different from the small skirmishes of the past. Were the two clans going to start a decisive battle?
The Mo Clan and the Liu Clan focused on refining. There was a lot of competition between them in the Shattered Cloud Sea. Normally, there would be small skirmishes. However, they were far from falling out with each other.
The Mo Clan was not as strong as the Liu Clan. However, if they fought indiscriminately, the Liu Clan would not be able to bear it. That would only benefit the other factions that were watching the excitement.
Seeing that Uncle Wang ignored him, the black-clad youth smiled and said, "Was my voice too soft? In that case, come closer. "
This youth was called Liu Feng, the First Young Master of the Liu Clan. His cultivation was pretty good, stronger than Young Master Xing's. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Liu Feng and the old man beside him soared into the air and landed on the purple warship's deck at the same time. The other three Mo Clan elders quickly followed.
Instantly, the Mo Clan cultivators on the purple warship felt like they were facing a great enemy. Before the other party's strong aura, they could not help taking a step back.
The four elders of the Mo family took a step forward and stood together with Uncle Wang, confronting the experts of the Liu family.
Although they all looked like Martial Sages, the strongest of the four Mo Clan elders was only a Medial Grade Martial Sage. Only Uncle Wang was a Superior Grade Martial Sage. Their aura was far inferior to the Liu Clan's.
Liu Feng said sullenly, "I can't be bothered to speak nonsense with you. Hand over the Cyclic Meteor Iron."
