All of a sudden, he attacked the Mo Clan. After all, he knew that something had happened to Ling Xiaoshuang because of the Mo Clan.
Ling Xiaoshuang had held onto his Heavenly Aqua Saber, which meant that after they had been separated, his Heavenly Aqua Saber had been in Ling Xiaoshuang’s possession. Given Ling Xiaoshuang’s nature and her relationship with him, Ling Xiaoshuang could not have handed over his Heavenly Aqua Saber to the Mo Family for refinement.
Since she had lost his Heavenly Aqua Saber, which had then been refined by the Mo Family, that meant that they had snatched his Heavenly Aqua Saber from Ling Xiaoshuang.
Since his Heavenly Aqua Saber had been snatched by the Mo Family, it would be strange if Ling Xiaoshuang was well. Thus, he did not ask how or why. He instead directly sneaked an attack. If he had asked how the Mo Family had dealt with Ling Xiaoshuang, he would have lost the chance to launch a sneak attack.
Boom! In less than an hour after Mo Zhou’s escape, Di Jiu had torn apart the Confinement Killing Divine Array of the Mo Clan’s White Sand Hall.
Di Jiu scanned the place with his Spiritual Force, only to discover that all the descendants of the Mo Clan who had a higher cultivation level had fled. Some cultivators were eager to give the Defense Array outside the Mo Clan a try, apparently guessing that something had happened to the Mo Clan.
Given the Mo Clan’s power in the Innocuous Realm all these years, the other cultivators did not dare to barge in.
However, Di Jiu discovered the unfortunate person who had been guarding the array door. It was the Dao Transformation cultivator whose cultivation level Di Jiu had abolished.
Because of his abolished cultivation foundation, this Dao Transformation cultivator could not flee like the other descendants of the Mo Clan.
“It looks like I’m quite lucky. Your luck will depend on how much you know.” Di Jiu had landed in front of this Dao Transformation cultivator.
“Senior…” Upon seeing Di Jiu approach, the Dao Transformation cultivator was horrified. Was it easy for him to cultivate to Dao Transformation? After all these years of effort, his foundation had been abolished easily by this person.
Di Jiu had seen it with his own eyes when he’d entered the Mo Clan. Soon after Di Jiu had entered the Mo Clan, their White Sand Hall had caused an explosion and he had seen many descendants of the Mo Clan frantically flee. Unfortunately, his cultivation foundation had been abolished by him so he could not escape even if he wanted to.
Now that Di Jiu was standing before him, covered in blood, even a fool would understand what was going on. Obviously, this killing god was so powerful that even the Dao Integration cultivators of the Mo Clan could not stop him.
“Let me ask you a simple question. If you can answer, I will let you go this once. Otherwise, you will only die.” Di Jiu seemed to say that as if something had happened, as though the question he was going to ask was not so important.
“Please ask, Senior.” The Dao Transformation cultivator was certain that Di Jiu was an expert who was about to reach the third step. Otherwise, he would not have possessed such great ability.
The Mo Clan was an extraordinary sect with a level-eight Confinement Killing Divine Array. Furthermore, the sect’s Defense Array was a level-eight Divine Array. In addition, they also had two Dao Integration experts.
However, given his confidence, this person had allowed all the descendants of the Mo Clan to flee, which showed how strong he was.
Di Jiu opened his hand and the Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on his palm. The Dao Transformation cultivator subconsciously felt a cold shiver all over his body.
Fortunately, Di Jiu did not attack him with all his strength. He only faintly asked, “Do you recognize this saber? Answer me honestly.”
The Dao Transformation cultivator dared to look at the Heavenly Aqua Saber in Di Jiu’s hand. At first glance, he immediately answered, “I know, I know…”
“In that case, tell me. How did this saber end up in the Mo Clan’s hands?” Di Jiu sounded sterner.
“Yes, yes…” The Dao Transformation cultivator seemed to feel that his voice was trembling a little. “It was brought back by a seriously-injured woman. After she arrived on the Mo Clan’s Square, she wanted to look for an inn to rest…”
Di Jiu sighed silently. He knew what had happened. Ling Xiaoshuang could not put away his Heavenly Aqua Saber, as only he could do that. However, he naturally would not put it away if the Heavenly Aqua Saber was going to advance. Ling Xiaoshuang could not have a treasure like the Chaos World. Thus, she would have to refine the Heavenly Aqua Saber if she wanted to put it away.
The Heavenly Aqua Saber had been refined with his blood and had merged closely with his soul. Even if Ling Xiaoshuang had not been injured, she would not have been able to refine it in a short time.
“Once she arrived on the Mo Clan’s Square, the Patriarch discovered the saber…”
Upon hearing that, Di Jiu understood. It would have been better if he had kept the Heavenly Aqua Saber, as the Dao rune aura in the Heavenly Aqua Saber must have been discovered by experts in Ling Xiaoshuang’s hands. Only Mo Zhou had probably found out that the Heavenly Aqua Saber was extraordinary.
Ling Xiaoshuang had just been unlucky. People like the Mo Clan’s members and Mo Zhou could recognize the extraordinary nature of the Heavenly Aqua Saber. Otherwise, Ling Xiaoshuang would have been fine.
The Dao Transformation cultivator added, “Then, the Sect Master invited that woman to enter the Mo Clan. There was no news of her after that.”
Di Jiu snorted. “It looks like you won’t keep your life, as I’m not very satisfied with your answer.”
He knew that the Mo Clan had invited Ling Xiaoshuang without giving her a choice.
“No, Senior. I heard that the woman was not killed, and she seemed to be a Dao Integration expert. Despite her serious injuries, she was rather strong. She ended up being forced to enter the Hell Whirlpool…”
Di Jiu interrupted the Dao Transformation cultivator. “Where is the Hell Whirlpool?”
The Dao Transformation cultivator hurriedly pointed to the deepest place within the Mo Clan. “Over there. It was originally protected by a Defense Array. Some time ago, a Meteor Storm erupted in the Hell Whirlpool, tearing the Defense Array. Before the Defense Array could be set up in time, that woman came…”
The Dao Transformation cultivator had heard all this news. Since he used to guard the array door, he had heard a lot of news. As a result, he did not know whether this was true or not, as other people said that Elder Jiao had killed the woman. He did not dare to tell Di Jiu about that rumor.
While this Dao Transformation cultivator was on tenterhooks, Di Jiu rushed into the deepest part of the Mo Clan. Upon seeing Di Jiu leave, the Dao Transformation cultivator did not dare to stay in place. Even though his cultivation level had been abolished, he was unwilling to let it go. Perhaps, one day, he might be able to restore his foundation.
Meanwhile, Di Jiu arrived in front of a Defense Array that had just been set up. Regardless of whether the Dao Transformation cultivator was lying or not, he was right about something. This Defense Array had been recently set up crudely. Di Jiu did not even bother breaking the array. Instead, the Heavenly Aqua Saber tore it.
In the middle of that Defense Array was a whirlpool that was dozens of feet big. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on it and instantly vanished. Seemingly isolating his Spiritual Force, this whirlpool then devoured his Spiritual Force. Since his injuries had yet to heal, his Spiritual Force suffered more injuries. He did not dare use his Spiritual Force to scan this whirlpool but he evaluated the situation around him.
Based on the traces inside the Defense Array, Di Jiu could tell that this had indeed been caused by the impact of the Meteor Storm.
When he sensed the terrifying aura in this whirlpool, Di Jiu’s heart sank. Ling Xiaoshuang had fled and entered the Hell Whirlpool. He was afraid that this was also dangerous.
Even if something had not happened to Ling Xiaoshuang because of his Heavenly Aqua Saber, he should still help her given their relationship.
Di Jiu raised his hand and took out a handful of array flags, surrounding the Hell Whirlpool again. At the same time, he sat cross-legged beside the whirlpool and hurriedly recuperated from his injuries.
He decided to enter this whirlpool three days later. Regardless of whether he could find Ling Xiaoshuang or not, he had to go in.
…
More and more foreign cultivators gathered on the Mo Clan’s Square, as many of them had found out that something had happened to the Mo Clan. No member of the Mo Clan stepped forward to speak despite the fact that so many cultivators were gathered there. In addition, the shops on the square had closed and their descendants had all disappeared.
There was no change in the situation the next day, yet a cultivator then carefully entered the Mo Clan’s Defense Array.
When all the other cultivators realized that someone had entered the Mo Clan’s Defense Array and none of the Mo Clan’s descendants had stepped forward to stop him, they understood that something had happened to the Mo Clan.
Countless cultivators flocked over like mad. How much good stuff did the Mo Clan have? As long as they struck it rich, they would flee right away from the Innocuous Realm. So what if the Mo Clan came back?
