This person was dressed in coarse blue clothes. He wasn't tall and was a bit stooped. His face was old and his hair was all white. He was an old man.
The old man was none other than the Old Master of the Meng Clan. Many years ago, he had been an ancient martial arts practitioner at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm. He was a powerful figure that supported the Meng Clan.
"Senior Meng, I respect you because you're a senior, but I won't allow you to capture people on the Huo family's territory."
Huo Changxing shook his head and refused to budge.
"The person I want to capture is the thief who killed the successor of our Meng Family. He dared to kill someone, so why can't we take revenge? Patriarch Huo, the Meng Family and the Huo Family have always been harmonious. I hope you won't affect the future relationship between our two families because of a mistake. "
Meng Hongbo said indifferently. As he spoke, he directly dragged in the grudges of noble clans.
"I told you, no matter how powerful the Meng family is, you can't capture people in our Huo family's territory! Moreover, Mo Wen is a guest of our Huo Clan. We cannot tolerate your impudence. "
Huo Changxing's overbearingness caused many members of the Meng Clan to look askance at him. This person who had left the clan for decades and returned was actually so domineering.
"Huo Changxing, you simply can't tell right from wrong. You actually protected a murderer. Since that's the case, don't blame me for not giving you face in the past."
Meng Hongbo snorted coldly, and a majestic aura swept out. Sand and pebbles flew, grass and trees flew, and his beard and hair stood erect like swords. Many people standing beside Meng Hongbo could not withstand that terrifying pressure and kept retreating.
The small courtyard was in a state of mutual hostility. A single word of disagreement could cause a fight to break out.
"Old man Meng, just who is the one who can't tell right from wrong? How come I heard that your Meng Clan was the one who bullied others intolerably first, and that's why you've brought disaster upon yourself? In my words, they deserved it. "
Just as the two sides were about to attack, a vigorous voice rang out from afar. In the next moment, a gust of wind blew and a figure appeared in the courtyard.
That person was dressed in purple robes. He had white hair and a rosy complexion. He was in high spirits. He was a healthy and vigorous elder. This person's cultivation was not weak. Once he appeared, he blocked Meng Hongbo's limelight. He also had cultivation at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm.
"Old Wang, are you going to meddle in this?"
Meng Hongbo glared at the purple-robed elder. This person was none other than the Wang Family's Patriarch, Wang Tiannian.
"What do you mean I have to get involved? This matter is related to the Wang Clan. You allowed your clansmen to bully my granddaughter and humiliate her reputation. How are you going to let this matter go?"
Wang Tiannian said calmly.
"Grandfather!"
When Wang Xiaofei saw Wang Tiannian appear, she immediately rushed over excitedly and hugged Wang Tiannian's arm. Her eyes turned red and tears fell down.
"Little Feifei, don't be afraid. With grandpa here, no one can bully you."
Wang Tiannian stroked Wang Xiaofei's head dotingly, his eyes filled with love.
After Wang Tiannian appeared, many members of the Wang Clan also appeared in the courtyard. These people were all experts of the Wang Clan. Clearly, the Wang Clan had already made preparations when they came.
Wang Yuan and Wang Jingmin were also inside. Before this, when Wang Xiaofei had brought Mo Wen to the Huo Clan's courtyard, Wang Yuan and Wang Jingmin had immediately headed to the Wang Clan's residence to report what had happened.
Wang Jingmin did not have a good impression of Mo Wen. Before this, not only had he bullied his younger sister, but he had also suffered a loss at Mo Wen's hands. However, this matter was a separate matter. Mo Wen had caused such a huge commotion in order to stand up for Wang Xiaofei. The Wang Clan could not just sit back and watch.
"Old Man Wang, I think you have gone senile. Are you determined to make life difficult for our Meng Clan? You have seen it now. Your granddaughter is standing here all right, while my grandson is lying in a cold coffin. Guo 'er is the most talented person in the Meng Clan and the hope of the Meng Clan's future. Killing him means that we have an irreconcilable enmity with the Meng Clan. If you insist on stopping this matter, then the Meng Clan and the Wang Clan can only fight to the death. "
Meng Hongbo was furious. Now, he was talking about bullying and not bullying. His favorite grandson was dead. How was he going to settle this debt?
"Old Man Meng, what you said makes some sense. Killing someone is indeed a little overboard. In a fight between the younger generation, accidents are inevitable. However, both sides are responsible for this matter. The dead cannot be resurrected. You should look on the bright side. My Wang Clan can give your Meng Clan a certain amount of compensation. "
Wang Tiannian said calmly. His tone was not as forceful as before. Clearly, he was not willing to really fight to the death with the Meng Clan. If they could come to an agreement, it would naturally be best to make peace.
If Wang Tiannian had been present at the time and seen the almost one-sided massacre, he most likely would not have said the word "accident" so confidently. Anyone with eyes could see that it was clearly an intentional murder. However, this was also in line with Mo Wen's style. If others did not offend him, he would not offend them. However, since he had provoked trouble, he would not be merciful.
"Compensation?"
Meng Hongbo laughed coldly and said, "The heir of a clan, the hope of the future. Can you afford to compensate him?"
"I have already said that the dead cannot be resurrected. You had better look on the bright side. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial for either of our clans. In other words, even if you take down that youth and interrogate him, what is the use? Will cutting him into pieces allow your grandson to be resurrected? Moreover, I am here today. Don't even think of touching him. "
Mo Wen had killed the few members of the Meng Clan because of Wang Xiaofei. As the leader of the Wang Clan, Wang Tiannian could not ignore it. The Wang Clan had been passed down for hundreds of years. The only ancestral teaching was to have a clear conscience. No matter what, as long as Mo Wen was still in the Bi Clan Manor House, he would ensure his safety.
"Old b * stard Wang, since you are so unreasonable and shield the enemy of my Meng Clan, then don't blame me for being ruthless. How much longer do you think your Wang Clan can be at ease? Today, I will teach you a lesson."
Meng Hongbo was furious. He was the dignified leader of the Meng Clan, a well-known figure in the Capital. Yet, he could not avenge his grandson.
The people of the Wang Clan were simply too much.
"Elder Meng, you heard what I said just now. You cannot touch the guest of the Huo Clan. Otherwise, the Huo Clan will not ignore it."
Huo Changxing also took a step forward and blocked in front of Meng Hongbo. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Wang Tiannian. The stance of the two clans joining forces could be seen by everyone. The Meng Clan had come with a large force, but they had been intercepted by the two clans consecutively.
As the leader of a clan, Huo Changxing naturally knew what to do at this time. Even if it was just the Huo Clan, he could not let the people of the Meng Clan capture Mo Wen. Now that the Wang Clan had appeared, it could not be better. How could he not hold onto this ally tightly in his hands?
"You guys …"
Meng Hongbo pointed at Huo Changxing and Wang Tiannian. His chest rose and fell as he panted heavily. He was so angry that he could not speak. In the eyes of outsiders, at such an advanced age, they would most likely be worried that he would not be able to catch his breath and directly die.
Although the Meng Clan was strong, right now, with two aristocratic families blocking in front of him, attempting to capture Mo Wen was almost an impossible task. The enemy who killed his grandson was right in front of him. If he could not do something, he would most likely become a joke if word got out. How would he, Meng Hongbo, have the face to walk in the Jianghu?
"Old Man Wang and Huo Clan leader, what the two of you are doing is most likely not very right. After all, someone from the Meng Clan has died. Moreover, it is a successor. How can such a big matter be resolved with just a few words or a little compensation?"
Just as the few of them were confronting each other, another voice interrupted. Unknowingly, an old man had appeared under a big tree in the courtyard. The old man was very old. His face was wrinkled and he seemed to have one foot in the grave. He seemed to be even older than Wang Tiannian and Meng Hongbo.
"Qin Clan eldest great grandfather!"
Wang Tiannian's eyes narrowed slightly. His expression instantly became much more serious. In terms of seniority, this person was even above him. He was of the same generation as his father. It could be said that he had lived for a long time. In the past, before he had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm, he was already not a match for old man Qin. Now that he had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm, he was most likely even more shockingly powerful.
"So it is the Qin Clan eldest great grandfather who has come personally. I have long heard of your name!"
On the contrary, Huo Changxing's expression was calm from beginning to end. He did not have any emotional fluctuations because of the Qin eldest great grandfather's appearance. He simply cupped his fists and that was it.
"This person is extremely daring. He dared to kill someone at the Capital Martial Arts Symposium. He is really impudent. He does not respect our five big aristocratic families. He does not respect all the ancient martial art practitioners in the Capital. He simply deserves to die a thousand times for his crime."
The Qin eldest great grandfather spoke righteously. His imposing manner was oppressive. A huge aura emanated out and enveloped the entire courtyard. The hearts of the surrounding people trembled. Naturally, a sense of reverence for the strong rose within them.
Even Wang Tiannian and Meng Hongbo's bodies were tense. A sense of danger arose in their hearts as they looked at the Qin eldest great grandfather warily.
As expected, this Qin clan eldest great grandfather's Cultivation had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such a terrifying aura.
"Qin eldest great grandfather, do you mean that you are also prepared to intervene in this matter? And you insist on capturing Mo Wen? "
Huo Changxing said in a cold tone. Even now, he did not lose his composure. He could be so indifferent when facing an ancient martial art practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm. He was indeed a person who had seen the world.
"That's right. Meng clan leader, please don't blame me for speaking harshly. This person killed Meng Guo. Although he is guilty, it is not to the extent that I have to personally intervene. That is your Meng clan's matter. However, this person publicly killed someone at the Capital Martial Arts Symposium. He did not abide by the rules and order and did not respect the Capital's ancient martial art practitioners. This is a capital crime. Everyone has the right to punish him. "
The Qin eldest great grandfather swept his gaze across the crowd. His tone was unyielding and his attitude was clear. He had to kill Mo Wen. Moreover, he stood on the side of righteousness and pulled all the Capital's ancient martial art practitioners into his camp.
He was so determined to kill Mo Wen. Naturally, it was not because Mo Wen did not abide by the rules and order and had embarrassed all the Capital's ancient martial art practitioners. That was just a very exaggerated excuse.
If you want to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext.
In reality, among the people here, he wanted to kill Mo Wen far more than Old Man Meng. This was because Mo Wen had always been a huge threat to the Qin clan. Even if he had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm, he would still be unable to eat or sleep in peace.
Others might not know how terrifying Mo Wen was, but he was very clear in his heart that if this youth was allowed to continue growing, it would definitely be a great calamity for the Qin clan.
Moreover, this youth more or less knew that the Qin clan had some connections with the heretic forces. That day when Envoy Guiluo had appeared, it was impossible for Mo Wen not to have guessed anything. If this matter were to spread, it would be an irrecoverable disaster for the Qin clan.
So, only by getting rid of this terrifying youth as soon as possible could he truly be at ease. (To be continued.)
