Chapter 350: Chapter 347: I Want to Kill One of Your People

"Brother Mo, what’s wrong?"

Liu Ruyan was the first to notice that something was off about Mo Qi.

From the side, his sorrowful expression and longing gaze were heart-wrenching.

She took Mo Qi’s hand and intertwined their fingers, hoping to convey her care and warmth.

Mo Qi let his sorrowful expression fade, shaking his head with a smile. "I’m fine. I was just thinking about a few things."

Liu Ruyan, being exceptionally clever, immediately understood what he was thinking about.

She moved closer, wrapped her arms around his waist, and looked into his eyes, saying earnestly, "Brother Mo, no matter what happens from now on, Ruyan will always be with you. Forever and always."

Mo Qi’s heart warmed at her words.

’When a man is weak, helpless, and lost, what more could he ask for than to have such a beautiful confidante by his side? Besides, I have Niu Kexin, and my brothers Liu Hui and San Pang!’

’I am not alone on the path ahead!’

At this thought, the gloom in Mo Qi’s heart was swept away.

’So what if they’re the Immortal Domain Ancestor! So what if she’s some Queen Mo Yan!’

’One day, I, Mo Qi, will make you regret your actions!’

’Mother, just give your son a little more time. I’ll come find you soon!’

Mo Qi had learned a great deal from Huangfu Jun and Shi Hao. Although none of it directly revealed his mother’s whereabouts, all the clues pointed to the same group of people—the Immortal Domain Ancestor!

He didn’t know what level of existence the so-called Immortal Domain Ancestor was, nor did he know what deep-seated hatred existed between them and his mother.

But he knew that to reunite with his mother, the first step was to make contact with the Immortal Domain Ancestor.

Currently, the most feasible and fastest plan was to distinguish himself at the continent-wide grand festival held in the Immortal Realm.

Then, he would have a legitimate reason to frequently interact with the Saint Ancestors, giving him the chance to learn the core secrets of the past.

In other words, what Mo Qi needed to do now was "lie low and build up power, don’t get cocky."

The excited crowd soon snapped out of their elation and cheers, gathering before Mo Qi.

Qian Duoduo, Li Xuemiao, and Wu Bainian knelt down in unison.

Freed from the constraints of the Soul-Draining Mother Spider, and having received a drop of Mo Qi’s Essence Blood, Qian Duoduo had not only recovered his innate talent but was now even more powerful than he was eleven years ago.

Li Xuemiao had obtained the Heart of Water and effortlessly comprehended the Water Realm, her Cultivation silently advancing to the Vajra Realm.

As for Wu Bainian, his Cold Cicada Bloodline had evolved and he had gained ancestral memories. Mo Qi had not only saved his life but had also given him the means to seek revenge and look down upon the world!

One could say that from this day forward, the trajectories of these three individuals’ lives would be completely transformed.

And all of this was a gift from Mo Qi!

"All of you, rise." Mo Qi raised a hand, and an irresistible force lifted the three of them to their feet.

"You don’t need to thank me. Everyone has their own destiny. Karma is cyclical. What seems to be coincidence is, in fact, inevitable."

Mo Qi’s words left the three of them bewildered. They exchanged a look, having come to the same decision.

"Big Bro, you have to take me as your little brother! I’ll follow you from now on." Qian Duoduo darted forward, as shameless as ever, and plopped down on the ground, hugging Mo Qi’s leg and refusing to let go.

Seeing his son’s behavior, Qian Juduo, surprisingly, didn’t feel embarrassed. In fact, he wholeheartedly approved of this approach in his heart.

If he weren’t so concerned about saving face, he would have wanted to do the same as Qian Duoduo and beg Mo Qi to take him in.

He had decisively defeated the legendary Huangfu Yu of the Hall of Envoys, revived near-dead individuals with ease, and even granted them talent and physiques superior to all others.

Such godlike power to turn clouds with a flip of the hand and rain with another was something one wouldn’t believe without seeing it firsthand.

It wasn’t just Qian Juduo. After witnessing the transformations of Li Xuemiao and the other two, the other experts present were all screaming internally: ’Blessed One, how about giving us some of that too?’

’Whether it’s that halo or the blood, just give us one, please?’

"Brother... Brother Mo, Brother Da Pang said he’s going to follow you, so Miaomiao will follow you too."

Having acquired the Heart of Water, Li Xuemiao looked even cuter, but her cuteness was now tinged with an inviolable sanctity.

"Uncle, Bainian is willing to serve by your side!"

Wu Bainian’s words made Liu Hui, who was standing not far away, furrow his brows.

’This guy is making trouble!’

’Is he trying to steal my position and compete for favor?’

A sense of crisis welled up in Liu Hui’s heart, and he secretly clenched his fists.

’No, I have to work hard to improve my strength. I can’t let others surpass me.’

’I’m the number one fierce general under the Master!’

Mo Qi wasn’t surprised by the decision of Qian Duoduo and the other two, but he didn’t agree immediately.

"Have you all thought this through? Following me means facing the harassment and pursuit of the Huangfu Family. You could die at any moment!"

Qian Duoduo was the first to nod. "Clearly! I thought it through long ago! What dogshit Huangfu Family? We’ll kill them all sooner or later! I don’t care. Anyway, Big Bro, I’m following you and no one else in this life!"

Mo Qi shot Qian Duoduo a look, then kicked him away in disgust.

Then he looked at Li Xuemiao and Wu Bainian and said, "You don’t have to give me an answer right away. Think it over carefully."

With that, he turned to Li Shimu. "His Holiness, I wish to kill one of your subjects."

Li Shimu was taken aback. He nodded subconsciously, then gave a bitter smile.

’Kill them, then. You’ve already said as much. How could I, the Emperor, refuse you?’

’Besides, even if I forbade you, would you even listen to me?’

’I just wonder which idiot provoked Mo Qi.’

"Wait here. I’ll be right back."

Mo Qi didn’t let Old Tomb Digger and the others follow. He took Liu Ruyan’s hand, and they vanished from the corridor.

...

High above the Imperial City, Liu Ruyan asked curiously, "Brother Mo, who are we going to kill?"

Mo Qi closed his eyes, sensing for something.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. "Found you!"

In a sprawling manor in the eastern part of the Imperial City, Mu Xue was hiding nervously in a secret chamber.

The secret chamber was protected by a powerful Array that sealed off all auras and Energy fluctuations.

The immense combat strength Mo Qi had displayed left Mu Xue terrified.

She had wanted to flee the Imperial City, but in the end, she hadn’t left.

Given Mo Qi’s current status in the Mountain and Sea Empire, if he was determined to catch her, it would be pointless to run, no matter how far she went.

It was better to hide in the manor without showing her face, using the Array to conceal her presence. Perhaps she could escape this disaster.

’Damn that Niu Kexin! Damn that Liu Ruyan! You’re just a little luckier than me, that’s all!’ Mu Xue seethed, grinding her teeth.

Just then, an immense force descended on the area around the secret chamber, violently tearing the protective Array in two.

BOOM!

The door to the secret chamber shattered into pieces. A man and a woman appeared before Mu Xue—it was Mo Qi and Liu Ruyan.

"You! How did you find this place?" Mu Xue’s face drained of color in terror.

"Hee hee, anyone who’s eaten my Brother Mo’s Medicinal Cuisine can’t escape his senses." Liu Ruyan giggled, but her expression gradually turned cold, her killing intent overflowing.
