When Lu Qingshan discovered that Madam Mo had a close relationship with the Mo Clan, yet refused to reveal the Mo Clan's matters to Mo Yan, he began to suspect the truth behind the Mo Clan's destruction.
Later, Mo Yan used Dragonslayer's men to investigate Xue Zhuyong's information according to his request.
According to the records, Xue Zhuyong's wood carving shop had been operating in Jiao Dragon City for more than thirty years.
But the problem was that Xue Zhuyong, as the head of the Mo Clan, had only left Longquan Island twenty years ago after the Mo Clan was destroyed by the Flood Dragon Clan.
Then, before this, how could Xue Zhuyong have operated a wood carving shop on Jiao Dragon Island while staying on Longquan Island?
Unless it was a doppelganger technique.
Moreover, according to the tailor shop owner next to the wood carving shop, Xue Zhuyong even had a wife, but she had died of illness about twenty years ago.
Xue Zhuyong's wife had died of illness at exactly the same time as the Mo Clan's destruction.
The Three Foot Edge in the wood carving shop had already indicated that Xue Zhuyong was a member of the Mo Clan, but Xue Zhuyong was an ordinary wood carving shop owner on Jiao Dragon Island who had investigated the ins and outs of Jiao Dragon Island and even had a family long ago.
In such a contradictory situation, there was only one explanation that could explain it.
Xue Zhuyong had already set up the identity of a wood carving shop owner on Jiao Dragon Island a long time ago.
Everything happened for a reason.
The reason Xue Zhuyong set up another identity so early was most likely because he knew that the Mo Clan would encounter a calamity or that he was preparing to leave the Mo Clan, so he had prepared a flawless escape route and identity for himself.
More than thirty years ago, the Mo Clan was clearly flourishing, developing to a point of prosperity that had never been seen before.
As the current head of the Mo Clan, Xue Zhuyong wasn't being ambitious. Instead, he had quietly arranged a way out for himself. Was it because he had foresight and was prepared for danger in times of peace? Or was it because of other internal reasons — for example, he was preparing to personally overthrow the Mo Clan?
Even if the Mo Clan of Longquan was not as powerful as the Flood Dragon Clan, the Flood Dragon Clan had mobilized the entire clan to attack the Mo Clan just because of the Three Foot Edge's words of "slaying Flood Dragons where there are Flood Dragons"?
Lu Qingshan had never believed this statement, but there were very few people who knew why the Flood Dragon Clan attacked the Mo Clan.
On the other hand, there was the Flood Dragon Clan. Naturally, there was no way to find out.
On the other side was the Mo family. However, most of the members of the Mo family were deep in slumber at the bottom of the sea along with the Dragon Spring Island. It was difficult to find an entry point. The only two people left who knew the truth, Xue Zhuyong and Madam Mo, were unwilling to bring up the past.
Lu Qingshan only truly understood the cause of the Mo family's destruction when he saw the images hidden in the flood dragon wood carving and the contact between Xue Zhuyong and the flood dragon demon king.
Everything was premeditated.
Xue Zhuyong had entered the Dragon Pool alone many times to provoke the Flood Dragon Demon King. He couldn't be seeking excitement, right?
No matter how shocking this answer was, combined with all the information, it was indeed the most likely truth: the Flood Dragon Clan's destruction of the Mo Family in Longquan was all a shocking scheme planned by Xue Zhuyong.
"Madam Mo, you know that Mo Yan is going against the Flood Dragon Clan and is plotting to kill the Flood Dragon Demon King." Lu Qingshan did not explain his guess. Instead, he said solemnly, "You should know how powerful the Flood Dragon Demon King is when he destroyed your Mo Clan back then.
No matter how well prepared Mo Yan and the others are, the chances of failing to slay the dragon are still extremely high. Once the dragon slaying fails, you should know what will happen to Mo Yan.
However, if your Mo Clan's master is willing to help Mo Yan and the others slay the dragon together, it will undoubtedly reduce the risk and increase the bargaining chip for the dragon slaying plan.
We've already found the Mo Clan's master, but no matter what, we can't convince him to help.
Therefore, only by figuring out what happened in the Mo Clan back then can we convince Xue Zhuyong to help. For Mo Yan's sake, Madam Mo, you'd better not hide anything from us. "
Following Lu Qingshan's words, Madam Mo's face turned pale.
With that, Lu Qingshan waited for Madam Mo's reply.
Madam Mo's face alternated between green and white for a long time. She sighed faintly and lamented, "All of this is a sin …"
.....
…
As a thousand-year-old sword-smithing clan, the Mo Clan had developed for so long, and the factions in the clan had become tangled and complicated. Under the conflict of interests, the clan had become somewhat lethargic.
In the Mo Clan's previous master's later years, in order to fight for power and the position of the Mo Clan's master, there was an undercurrent of conflict in the Mo Clan. The matter was very complicated, and it changed many people's fates.
And the source of this battle was an extremely weak and withered faction of the Mo Clan — the eighth branch.
The person in charge of the eighth branch was called Mo Yinfeng. He was a womanizer, but his dao partner was a jealous woman. Moreover, her family was powerful, so Mo Yinfeng could only swallow his anger and secretly cheat.
Under such circumstances, a baby boy was born from the union between Mo Yinfeng and a mortal woman.
The mortal woman was afraid that Mo Yinfeng's dao partner would find out and kill her child, so she could only take the child and hide. She did not dare to give her child the surname Mo, so she used her own surname as the child's surname.
The woman's surname was Xue, and the child, who was still in swaddling clothes, was named Xue Zhuyong.
The mother and son relied on each other for five or six years, and finally, Mo Yinfeng's dao partner found out about their existence.
That year, Xue Zhuyong's mother 'committed suicide'. Because of his mother's suicide, Xue Zhuyong managed to preserve his life. However, his fate wasn't any better. He was locked up in the Mo Clan's prison.
There was a jailer in the prison with the surname Liu, and he was an outsider.
The jailer with the surname Liu could not stand Mo Yinfeng's inaction and his dao partner's cruelty. He could not stand how these cultivators treated a five-year-old child, so he took great care of Xue Zhuyong.
He taught Xue Zhuyong cultivation, and even secretly brought Xue Zhuyong home.
Jailer Liu's family treated Xue Zhuyong extremely well. They treated him as their own, and Xue Zhuyong felt the warmth of a family.
The Liu Clan also had a daughter named Liu Zijun. She was the same age as Xue Zhuyong, and they grew up together.
About ten years later, when Xue Zhuyong was fifteen years old, Mo Yinfeng's Taoist partner died in an accident. Seeing this rare opportunity, Jailor Liu took the opportunity to ask Mo Yinfeng to return Xue Zhuyong's freedom.
Only then did Mo Yinfeng remember that she still had a child in the sect prison. Because she had broken free from the restraints of her dao partner, she was in a good mood and didn't think too much about it. She brought Xue Zhuyong out of the sect prison and recorded him in the sect register under the name Mo Zhuyong.
After being released from the prison, Xue Zhuyong was allowed to learn the Mo Clan's swordsmithing techniques.
However, due to his mother's tragic death, Xue Zhuyong had always been repulsed by the Mo Clan. He naturally hated the swordsmithing techniques, and refused to put in the effort.
Originally, this might have been an ordinary family dispute, but things had taken a turn for the better.
Over the years, Xue Zhuyong and Liu Zijun were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was deep. However, Xue Zhuyong knew his lowly status and didn't know his future, so he didn't dare tell Liu Zijun his feelings.
In the end, the second year after Xue Zhuyong was released, the delicate and pretty Liu Zijun caught the eye of the Mo Clan's Mocheng, who had a high status in the Mo Clan.
Jailer Liu was only a jailer of the Mo Clan. As an outsider, he didn't dare openly disobey orders. In desperation, he could only prepare to marry his daughter to Xue Zhuyong.
Xue Zhuyong and Liu Zijun were both dejected. The pair of man and woman who loved each other were destined to be separated.
Fortunately, before the wedding date, Mocheng encountered a sea monster at sea and unfortunately died. The engagement could only be annulled.
After this, Xue Zhuyong was enlightened. He felt that the heavens had given him another chance. Cherishing the person in front of him, he resolutely went to Liu Zijun's house to propose marriage.
