Hong Clan.
Patriarch Hong Qiang's expression was incomparably grim as he listened to the news his servant sent back, and he asked in a low voice, "Did all of you look carefully? Is it really that old fox Jin Dongnan? "
"Yes, Patriarch. We saw it very clearly. It's Jin Dongnan. We didn't notice when he went in, but it shouldn't have been too short. Moreover, when Young Master Chu sent him out, we could obviously feel that the two of them had a very pleasant conversation. "The Hong Clan servant replied.
"This old fox … What does he want to do? Dammit! " Hong Qiang had an enraged expression as he waved his subordinate away, then he shot his gaze at Mr. Zhao who sat there with a calm expression, "Mr. Zhao, this matter … What do you think?"
Mr. Zhao smiled, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Patriarch can be at ease."
"That old fox Jin Dongnan obviously has an extremely strong motive for personally paying a visit to a Congenital Realm martial artist. How can I be at ease?" Hong Qiang's face carried a slightly anxious expression.
As the Patriarch of a large clan, his ability to maintain his composure naturally wasn't bad. Normally, there were very few things that could make him so anxious. But it was related to the ruins, so he couldn't help but feel worried.
Any one of the things that had been unearthed in the ruins was priceless. Presumably, there were even more valuable treasures within it, and this was related to an enormous amount of wealth. If they were able to obtain the majority of them, then it wouldn't be a dream for the Hong Clan to surpass the Jin Clan and that clan in one go and become the number one clan in Silken City.
If that Congenital Realm young man really came from a large sect and had already reached some sort of agreement with the Jin Clan, then it was very likely that the Hong Clan wouldn't even be able to get some scraps.
How could he not be anxious about this matter that was related to the future of his clan?
"Haha, isn't there still the Lu Clan?" Mr. Zhao smiled lightly and said, "I don't believe that the Lu Clan wouldn't have any reaction from the events of these past two days. Especially during this unusual period, the Lu Clan's sensitivity … is probably even stronger than ours! But up until now, there hasn't been any movement from the Lu Clan. I presume they're investigating Chu Mo's identity? "
"Can they find out?" Hong Qiang frowned, "Didn't Tianlan say that kid doesn't reveal anything, but he's obviously someone with extraordinary background."
Mister Zhao said calmly, "The Lu family may not be able to find out the exact origins of that young man, but … they can find out the movements of the sects within hundreds of thousands of miles!"
"The Lu Clan … does have that kind of power." Hong Qiang was slightly startled before she said with some conviction, "Many disciples of the Lu Clan are in those large sects. It's not difficult to find out the movements of those large sects."
"If those sects don't make a move, then it means that even if this Chu Mo possesses an extraordinary background, then … he's alone and without help in Silken City. A mere Jin family can't be his strong support. " Mr. Zhao said lightly, "A strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its territory. Even if he really has amazing power, what can he do when it's too late?"
"What if he really comes from the sects you mentioned before?" Hong Qiang asked worriedly.
Mr. Zhao smiled. "So, let's not offend him too much."
"As for the Lu family … should we add some fuel to the fire?" Hong Qiang asked.
"No." Mr. Zhao shook his head. "Don't overreach yourself. The Lu Clan isn't stupid."
"Forget it. The next full moon night is in five days anyway. At that time, we'll just send as many people as possible to attack." Hong Qiang finally decided to bide his time like before. He didn't want to provoke the young man who suddenly appeared in Silken City.
… …
When Chu Mo returned to his room, he smiled bitterly at the big rooster. "Things seem to be out of our control."
The big rooster nodded and said, "That's right, the two big shots of this city both think of us as people with great backgrounds."
"I wanted to tell them the truth." Chu Mo scratched his head and smiled bitterly. "But I changed my mind when I heard about the ruins."
"Kid, you want to explore the ruins?" The big rooster looked at Chu Mo with a burning gaze. Clearly, this rooster's heart wasn't as calm as it looked.
"The ruins in the Spiritual Realm are different from the ones in the Human Realm." Chu Mo said.
The big rooster said, "It's different. Inside the ruins in the Spiritual Realm, there's a high chance of finding some incredible treasures. Although the possibility isn't high, it's still possible. "
"According to Clan Master Jin's words, a door can only appear on a full moon night, and that door must be attacked with all one's might in order to barely open a crack … I think that if we have the Boundary Breaking Pill, we should be able to easily enter that place." Chu Mo muttered to himself, "Previously, when we took the Water of the Five Elements, we also opened the door on a full moon night. But the first time … was when I obtained the Heaven Slaughtering and the first blood moon! "
The big rooster murmured, "You mean?"
"I mean, this kind of ruins is definitely not simple. At least … it's a place similar to the Land of the Five Elements." Chu Mo said.
"The Hong Clan sent a generous gift and then apologized to you. They probably don't want you to ruin their business. The Jin Clan's reaction was fast and sincere. The Clan Head paid a visit in person! And from the looks of it, Jin Dongnan wants to form an alliance with you? "The big rooster said.
"I think so too. Clan Head Jin Dongnan does have that intention," Chu Mo said.
"Then what do you think?" The big rooster looked at Chu Mo. "Why do I feel like you … have bad intentions towards the entire Silken City?"
Chu Mo glanced at the big rooster. "You think too highly of me. Even if I really want to, I need the strength to do so. I'm not even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone a cultivator. I'm afraid there are many Golden Core cultivators in Silken City. There might even be Nascent Soul cultivators … "
"Then what do you plan to do?" The big rooster asked.
Chu Mo thought for a moment. "An invisible enemy is the scariest. If we want to help Qi Xiaoyu, we can't just go to her like this. Otherwise, it'll only bring disaster to the entire elven race. "
The big rooster thought for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Chu Mo's point of view. "You want to … gain a powerful force, then go help her?"
"Even if I can't have a powerful force, I need to at least figure out who my enemy is, and then figure out the situation in the Spiritual Realm. Then … it'll be time for us to find Qi Xiaoyu. To do these two things, we need to at least gain a foothold in the Spiritual Realm! "Chu Mo said seriously." I think this is a very good opportunity! "
The big rooster fell into deep thought.
Chu Mo continued. "Since they all think of me as someone with a powerful background, if we don't make good use of this opportunity, how can we face up to this misunderstanding?"
After a long while, the big rooster looked at Chu Mo. "Kid, you're really cunning!"
