Chapter 450: Chapter 447: Mo Qi’s Grand Gift (Part 2)

"You did this?!" Huangfu Zhong raised his head to see Mo Qi’s smiling face.

"That’s impossible!" Huangfu Zhong said in disbelief. "How did you do it?"

He couldn’t figure out how Mo Qi had managed all this.

’Could it be that Mo Qi has some kind of unknown connection to Beast Mountain?’

"Take a guess," Mo Qi said, his smile unwavering.

In truth, he had only inferred from Huangfu Zhong’s reaction that Huangfu Jun must have made his move, but he didn’t know any of the details.

He had expected that Huangfu Jun would, at best, be able to empty the Huangfu Family’s treasury and cause them some trouble.

He never would have guessed that Huangfu Jun could destroy the entire Huangfu Family.

Therefore, Huangfu Zhong’s next actions completely disrupted his plans and became the spark that ignited turmoil across the entire continent.

"Mo Qi, you whelp, you’ve gone too far! I’ll take your life today!"

Huangfu Zhong shot to his feet like a furious lion. He pressed his palms together, and Immortal Power suffused his entire body as he began to chant an incantation.

Just then, a dazzling golden light flashed from beneath the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact.

The golden light climbed from the base of the tower, section by section, until it reached the very top.

"Pig Emperor, get back!"

A sense of foreboding washed over Mo Qi. As his figure shot backward, his Incarnation Battle Armor detached from his body, enveloped the Pig Emperor, and pulled it back with him.

"I humbly request the descent of Your Excellency’s Dharma Body!"

Huangfu Zhong bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the wall of the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact.

BOOM!

The Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact shuddered violently. A torrent of golden light erupted from it, shooting toward the highest heavens.

CRACK!

Space shattered, and a powerful, chaotic Space Storm swept out, bearing down on the experts below with immense pressure.

"What is that bastard Huangfu Zhong trying to do?"

The Immortals frowned in confusion, a faint sense of unease creeping into their hearts.

Even the two old women, Silver Hair and Jin Hua, grew solemn. Their eyes were fixed on the spatial rift as they flanked Wu Bainian, protecting him between them.

"Mo Qi, you whelp! I could have tolerated your schemes and humiliations, but you never, ever should have destroyed my Huangfu Family! Now, I have nothing left to lose and no more reservations. You forced my hand!"

Huangfu Zhong’s words left everyone present completely stunned.

’The Huangfu Family was destroyed?’

’And Mo Qi was the one who did it!’

’Is that even possible?’

’Does this strange little fellow really have the power to destroy a family that has been entrenched in the Hall of Envoys for tens of thousands of years?!’

’Besides, he’s been in front of everyone this whole time; he couldn’t possibly have been involved.’

’To command from the command tent and secure victory a thousand miles away?’

’Has he really become that terrifying?’

As everyone watched in confusion, Huangfu Zhong’s savage gaze swept over them one by one.

"Every single one of you is an accomplice! Not one of you will leave here alive today!"

’He’s gone mad! Utterly mad!’

This was the experts’ first reaction.

’That bastard Huangfu Zhong must have been driven insane by that pig’s singing!’

’Otherwise, why would he be making such outlandish boasts?’

Although Huangfu Zhong’s current actions seemed to be brewing some kind of ultimate move, and everyone could indeed sense an unusual aura, the claim that he could kill everyone present was nothing short of a fantasy.

Only Mo Qi was secretly sending messages to his people, telling them to get as far away as possible—preferably to leave the island immediately.

It wasn’t just the growing intensity of the unease in his heart. More importantly, the ring his mother had left him, which he always wore around his neck, had started to react.

Mo Qi clutched the ring. A searing heat emanated from it, spreading into his palm.

’Why is this happening?’

He didn’t believe in coincidences.

The phenomenon Huangfu Zhong had triggered had to be connected to this ring somehow.

Or rather, it was intricately linked to his mother!

At this thought, Mo Qi’s heart began to pound—THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.

He was excited yet afraid, expectant yet filled with a sense of dread.

Finding his mother had always been his goal, but he was terrified of what bad news he might receive.

At that moment, Huangfu Zhong gave everyone a cold glance before spitting another mouthful of Essence Blood, which splattered at his feet.

"I secondly request the descent of Your Excellency’s Dharma Body!"

The moment his voice fell, the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact began to tremble violently as if blessed by some power, causing the entire island to shake along with it.

RUMBLE!

The ground split open, and a crimson glow flickered from deep within the earth.

The experts turned pale with fright. The active volcano was about to erupt!

"I thirdly request the descent of Your Excellency’s Dharma Body!"

Without pausing, Huangfu Zhong spat another mouthful of Essence Blood toward the top of the tower.

THUD!

A deep, muffled sound emanated from the spatial rift above, and everyone felt as if their hearts had just skipped a beat.

"This is bad! The volcano is erupting—the Spirit Pool is done for!"

The Immortals struggled to keep their footing as the earth shattered and searing heat surged out.

Mo Qi immediately executed his Qi Fortune Secret Technique, drawing the Power of the Dragon Vein into his body.

No matter what, he had to rescue Liu Ruyan and Feng Liang from the Spirit Pool first.

Just then, a white-furred claw as large as a mountain emerged from the spatial rift and made a pressing motion down toward the island.

HISS~

The shaking island instantly stabilized, and all the flames were extinguished on the spot.

It was as simple and direct as dumping a bucket of water on a candle flame.

If not for the cracks that remained in the ground and the scorched remnants from the heat, everyone might have thought that what they had just experienced was all an illusion.

"This is... the aura of a Demon Beast!"

The experts sensed an incomparably powerful aura of the Demon Race from the white claw, and the color drained from their faces.

A single press from the void, a single claw, had extinguished an active volcano.

Everyone present, including Silver Hair and Jin Hua, knew they were incapable of such a feat—not even close.

This could only mean one thing: the owner of the claw was far, far stronger than any of them.

"Your subordinate, Huangfu Zhong, pays his respects to Your Excellency!"

At some unknown point, Huangfu Zhong had already put away the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact and was now kowtowing on the ground to the beast claw above.

A lazy yet ethereal voice drifted from the spatial rift. "Huangfu Zhong, I didn’t expect you to use up this opportunity so quickly."

Huangfu Zhong looked up, a helpless expression on his face. "Huangfu Yu is in peril, and your subordinate’s abilities are limited. I had no choice but to shamelessly request the descent of Your Excellency’s Dharma Body."

"Oh?" The voice showed a flicker of interest. "With your power and methods, you couldn’t even protect a single person?"

Before Huangfu Zhong could speak, a powerful Divine Sense descended from the heavens, blanketing the entire island.

Mo Qi’s expression changed. He quickly dispersed the Power of the Dragon Vein and concealed his aura, making himself look no different from an ordinary Vajra Realm cultivator.

It was obvious that the current situation was far beyond his control.

"Huangfu Zhong, you have some nerve! How dare you collude with the Demon Race! Do you not fear the judgment of the Immortal Realm?!" an Immortal expert from the Five Elements Sub-Palace demanded.

"What a noisy little fellow," the lazy voice remarked faintly.

The white beast claw squeezed gently, forming a fist.

SQUELCH!

The Immortal instantly exploded, leaving no corpse behind as his very soul scattered and dissipated!
