It was nighttime.
Qinghe Guard Mansion.
A black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, openly avoiding the psionic shield above Qingyuan City and directly sneaking into the Cui family's old mansion, entering the Cui family's old ancestor Cui Deshou's seclusion grounds.
"Who is it?! How dare you barge into my Cui family's mansion at night?! "
Cui Deshou's eyes shot out divine light, and an emperor-level willpower attack shot towards the uninvited guest like a sharp arrow.
Pa!
A soft sound rang out, as if a water droplet had landed on a vast surface of water. Accompanied by a soft patter, a silent ripple appeared.
Cui Deshou's expression changed slightly.
It was actually an emperor-level martial artist, and his cultivation was also on par with his.
Cui Deshou's mind moved, and he was about to activate the psionic array to cooperate with the enemy when the black shadow suddenly spoke, "Brother Deshou, don't you recognize your brother so quickly?"
As he spoke, the black shadow's concealment was removed, and the aura he had restrained leaked a little. A handsome young man who looked to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old had a smile on his face as he nodded slightly at Cui Deshou.
Cui Deshou was startled, and immediately called out the person's name, "Mo Anran?!"
Changmeng Guard Mansion's old ancestor Mo Anran.
He could be considered an emperor-level martial artist at the same time as Cui Deshou, and he was even three to five years older than Cui Deshou.
However, unlike Cui Deshou, who only cared about cultivation and not appearance, Mo Anran fixed his appearance to that of a twenty-something years old when he advanced to the grandmaster level, and it had not changed for more than a hundred years.
He had always stubbornly believed that his appearance at this age was the peak of his life's appearance, and that it was his most charming period.
"Why are you here?"
Recognizing the identity of the person, Cui Deshou did not let down his guard because of this, but he was not as hostile as before. His gaze lightly swept over Mo Anran, and he asked calmly.
Mo Anran shook his head and smiled, "Brother Cui, you're asking the obvious. Don't you know why I'm here at all?"
"If I'm not wrong, you've already spoken to that kid Lan Yuanqing during the day, right? Did you return disappointed like I?"
Cui Deshou was stunned. "How did you know?"
"Wait, you're saying that he's the same as you? Could it be that Lan Yuanqing also abandoned your Dreamchanger Mo Clan at the Beijing Gathering?"
When he saw Mo Anran nod, Cui Deshou seemed to have come to an understanding, and he seemed to have started to understand why Lan Yuanqing would intentionally go against their Cui Clan.
Previously, he had gone to look for Lan Yuanqing to sound him out as soon as he received the news. In the end, he was met with a rebuff and was extremely depressed. He thought that only the Qinghe Guard Residence was excluded from the entire Federation's thirty-six domains.
Now it would seem like the Dreamchanger Mo Clan was being ostracized along with their Cui Clan.
Isn't this very interesting?
Why was it that out of the 36 Guardian Estates, only their Clear River Region and Changmeng Region were so disliked?
There was no need to think too much to know that it was definitely related to the joint petition that had just happened a few days ago.
Their Qinghe Guard Residence and Changmeng Guard Residence were the initiators of the joint petition that day. Now that they were being targeted, it was very obvious that the Beijing City was seizing the opportunity to stand up for Yang Fan and take revenge on purpose.
"Speaking of which, it's really much more convenient with this communication device." Mo Anran raised his hand and shook the communicator on his wrist. He said indifferently, "In order to find out the truth, this old man didn't leave the house. I just casually fiddled with it a few times and inquired about it from the other 33 domains."
"Apart from our Qinghe Region and Changmeng Region, the remaining 33 regions have all been invited."
"That's not all. So long as every domain sends someone over, the Beijing City promised to reward them with a fifth-grade Emperor Rank Golden Soul Refining Pill.
"This is an opportunity and benefit that can be obtained by running errands. If nothing unexpected happens, then no domain among the thirty-three domains will be absent from the Beijing Gathering in three days.
"The two of us have been ostracized!"
A cold light flashed in Cui Deshou's eyes as he said coldly, "What's the use of saying this now? Don't tell me that you, Mo Anran, can still reverse the situation?"
Mo Anran shook his head slightly. "The Beijing Gathering is a foregone conclusion. After all, the benefits come first, and the Beijing Guard Residence is not a pushover. It's impossible for them to join forces and threaten it like they did with Yang Fan."
Cui Deshou snorted coldly.
"What are you talking about if you don't have a way!"
Who didn't know that the Beijing City had a strong foundation among the thirty domains of the Federation and had many allies?
To be honest, if it weren't for the Venerable Sovereigns who were seriously injured and unable to recover safely and to enhance their own high-end combat power, few people would risk falling out with the Beijing City to join forces with them.
Who didn't know that Yang Fan was now a guest of honor in the Beijing City? Under normal circumstances, would the Beijing City agree to let Yang Fan go out alone and take risks?
It was still the same sentence, driven by benefits.
As long as the benefits were big enough, even allies could betray each other.
It was the same now. The conditions set by the Beijing City at the beginning were a temptation that the various domains of the Federation couldn't refuse.
Otherwise, Cui Deshou and Mo Anran wouldn't have called Lan Yuanqing so eagerly.
"Brother, don't be anxious!" Mo Anran chuckled. "Now that we know who the root of the problem is, it's naturally much easier to solve it."
"Lan Yuanqing wants to use this gathering to stand up for Yang Fan and force the other domains to change their minds. I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Although the Emperor-level Soul Refining Golden Pill is precious, there won't be too many of them. If there are some gains, the domain masters of the various domains will think it's not enough for them. How could they be willing to give it to those old antiques who have been crippled for decades?"
"In the end, the matter of threatening Yang Fan to go on patrol will continue to be put on the agenda. You and I both know very well that those people also can't resist the temptation of curing the Emperor-level and King-level experts in their own domains. "
Cui Deshou said, "What if Lan Yuanqing can take out enough Emperor-level Soul Refining Golden Pills to move all the domain masters?"
Lan Yuanqing wasn't a fool. If he didn't have absolute confidence, why would he do such an obvious losing business?
"Although it's unlikely, we have to be on guard." Mo Anran said, "So, we have to prepare a second hand."
Cui Deshou raised his eyebrows slightly. "I'd like to hear your opinion!"
A cold light flashed in Mo Anran's eyes, and he said coldly, "Assassinate Yang Fan! Dig out the source of this disaster from the roots! "
"If Lan Yuanqing's actions are really to protect Yang Fan, then once Yang Fan dies, do you think he will still hold such a big gathering?"
Cui Deshou's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Mo Anran with some suspicion.
"Old Man Mo, tell me honestly, why do you have such a strong desire to kill Yang Fan?"
Cui Deshou asked Mo Anran directly. "He is also the Federation's first Emperor-level doctor. Even if I don't like him, I have never thought of killing him."
"And you, from the beginning, have never thought of letting Yang Fan live. Why is that?"
Cui Deshou's goal against Yang Fan was very simple. It was to take revenge on Yang Fan for humiliating him in public last time.
But even so, he only wanted to give Yang Fan as much trouble as possible. He had never thought of directly killing Yang Fan.
After all, Yang Fan was the Federation's first Emperor-level doctor. His life and death were no small matter. If something went wrong, it would cause a lot of trouble.
"Is it not enough to avenge your son's death?" Mo Anran seemed to have expected Cui Deshou to ask this question. He gnashed his teeth and said, "It happened in your Qinghe Guard Residence. Didn't you hear about it?"
Cui Deshou was stunned. "That Mo Ming is actually your descendant?"
"My youngest son, who has been carefully nurtured by me since he was young. He is I's favorite child."
Mo Anran said, "But because of Yang Fan's empty accusation on Qingyuan Mountain, he was labeled as a Variant Human spy. He was even beaten to death by Qi Bing and that bitch Ye Hanshuang on the spot! How can I swallow this resentment! "
Cui Deshou took a step back. His spiritual sense was already connected to the City Defense Formation.
"So, your son Mo Ming is not a Variant Human in disguise?"
"Of course!" Mo Anran looked at Cui Deshou calmly. "Mo Ming has been with me since he was young. Who in this world would be more familiar with his aura and temperament than me?"
"Even I, a blood relative and a level eight Martial Emperor, did not notice anything unusual. Yang Fan is just a kid. How can he be so sure that my son is a Variant Human?"
"I don't know who ordered him to do this, but he dared to slander my son and cause my son to die miserably. That is his way of seeking death!"
Cui Deshou said suspiciously, "So, Yang Fan being able to see through a Variant Human's disguise is also nonsense?"
"But, why did I hear that there were dozens of human Kings who saw Mo Ming transform into a Variant Human and fight with Qi Bing and Ye Hanshuang? Even when he died, he was still in the form of a Variant Human!"
"What's so strange about that?" Mo Anran said indifferently, "Don't forget that Ye Hanshuang is a level four Spirit Monarch. Her mental strength is unparalleled. If she deliberately made a camouflage, and with Qi Bing's help, how could a few Kings see through it?"
"My poor son. He was blessed by the heavens but envied by others. As soon as he broke through to the Spirit Monarch Realm, he was suppressed by a group of shameless villains. In the end, he died miserably on the spot and was called a Variant Human spy!"
Mo Anran gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Bing and Ye Hanshuang, those two bastards, have extraordinary origins. I can't do anything to them now, but this Yang Fan must die! I can't be at ease if I don't kill him! "
Cui Deshou carefully took a step back again. "If you want to kill Yang Fan, I naturally have no objection. However, don't drag my Cui Clan into this. My Cui Clan and Yang Fan don't have such a big grudge!"
"Now that things have come to this, do you think you can still stay out of this?"
Mo Anran smiled strangely and looked at Cui Deshou. "Brother Deshou, you and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Other than helping me, you have no other choice!"
