Chapter 582 - 294: Divine Split Beast Taming, The Mo Family’s Crisis
The Southern Domain was in turmoil.
Within many factions, voices were rising in favor of surrendering to the Western Domain.
Shi Hu Master’s desire to exterminate the Mo Family was a calculated move to add fuel to the fire, further destabilizing the various powers in the Southern Domain.
’I want them to know that no matter what they choose, the Southern Domain is doomed to lose this war! If they surrender, they can at least keep their Spiritual Lands and their disciples. If they don’t, their fate will be the same as the Mo Family’s.’
’The Mo Family only has one Golden Core Master, Mo Qingxue. As long as we make sufficient preparations this time, she won’t be able to escape.’
’This matter must be kept secret. We can’t tell anyone, especially not Xue Lin...’
"..."
That very night.
Shi Hu Master gathered more than a dozen Golden Core Masters.
These were all people he trusted, individuals who had fought alongside him for years and slain countless enemies.
Little did he know.
Among those dozen or so masters, a small portion was already under Li Chang’an’s control.
Together, they discussed the time of the operation, the escape route, the Mo Family’s specific strength, and more...
...
Meanwhile.
「On Changqing Mountain, inside the cave residence.」
Li Chang’an frowned slightly, pondering for a moment.
’So many Golden Core Masters are acting together, and they even have two Tier Three Top Grade Array Masters among them. The situation doesn’t look good for the Mo Family this time.’
With his current strength, he could probably save the Mo Family if he went all out.
But Li Chang’an didn’t want to take the risk.
’First, I’ll see what the Divination says. If it’s dangerous, I’ll just forget it. At most, I’ll just warn Mo Qingxue to evacuate ahead of time.’
He sat cross-legged and quietly awaited the Divination’s appearance.
Soon, Midnight arrived.
A golden light materialized before his eyes.
[Divination has been refreshed.]
[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]
[Go to the Mo Family. Set up multiple Tier Three Top Grade Grand Arrays for the Mo Clan Territory. Take command from within the arrays to repel the invading enemies and help the Mo Family survive the crisis.]
[In return, Mo Qingxue will open the Mo Family Treasure Vault and allow you to choose any Treasure you wish.]
’An Auspicious Trigram. Not bad!’
Li Chang’an felt a sense of relief. The content of the Divination indicated that this course of action was viable.
’This is a perfect opportunity to probe Shi Hu Master’s trump cards.’
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and quietly left Changqing Mountain.
When he arrived at the Mo Clan Territory, the night was still deep. Many Low Tier Mo Family Cultivators were still resting, and the entire territory was silent.
Li Chang’an released his aura.
Mo Qingxue sensed it almost immediately, appearing from the depths of the clan territory to meet him.
"Daoist Li, what brings you to me in the middle of the night?"
"A grave matter."
Li Chang’an didn’t beat around the bush and explained the situation directly to her.
"Shi Hu Master has chosen the Mo Family as his next target. He will arrive soon to annihilate the entire clan."
"What?"
Mo Qingxue’s expression immediately became incredibly grim.
The Mo Family’s foundation was even weaker than the Ou Family’s.
If even the Ou Family was annihilated, how could the Mo Family possibly hold out?
"Daoist Li, where did you get this information?"
"I have a friend. He holds a significant position in the Western Domain and sent me this information through a special channel not long ago."
Hearing this, Mo Qingxue didn’t doubt him.
Ever since she had known Li Chang’an, she had often heard him use "a friend" as an excuse.
And no matter who that friend was, he was always right!
’This is troublesome.’
Mo Qingxue looked down at the Mo Clan Territory below.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, she knew she couldn’t fend them off. Her only option was to flee the clan territory with all the Mo Clan Members.
But there were no more Tier Three Spirit Veins available in the Southern Domain.
If the Mo Clan Members left this place, where else could they settle down?
Shi Hu Master had already chosen the Mo Family as his target. Even if he came up empty this time, he wouldn’t necessarily let them go. There might soon be a next time.
In short, the Mo Clan Territory was no longer safe.
’So be it. I’ll gather all the clan members first.’
Mo Qingxue sighed, a sense of helplessness coloring her voice.
With a wave of her fair hand, countless Spirit Beast Bags flew out from her Storage Pouch. She intended to place all of the Mo Family’s Cultivators and mortal clan members inside them.
But just then, Li Chang’an asked her, "Daoist Mo, do you trust me?"
Hearing this, Mo Qingxue froze for a moment.
Her gaze was cool and clear as she looked at Li Chang’an once more.
"Daoist Li, could it be that you’re confident you can hold off all the invading enemies by yourself?"
"That’s right. With the help of Array Power, it can be done. However, I will need materials from the Mo Family Treasure Vault."
"Alright! If this can be done, you may choose any Treasure you wish from the Mo Family Treasure Vault!"
Mo Qingxue was decisive, agreeing to his proposal without the slightest hesitation.
If it was possible, she naturally wanted to save the Mo Clan Territory.
Of course, just to be safe, she still planned to use the Spirit Beast Bags to gather all the Mo Clan Members.
Before that, she called over a little girl of about three or four years old and introduced her to Li Chang’an.
"Daoist Li, this is Mo Tong, a Celestial Pride of my Mo Family with an Earth Spirit Root. Her talent surpasses even my own. If I should fall in this battle, I ask that you look after her."
"An Earth Spirit Root?"
Li Chang’an sized up the little girl for a moment, secretly using the Spirit Testing Technique.
Inside her body were eighty-eight wisps of Spirit Charm; it was indeed an Earth Spirit Root.
’To be able to produce such a genius. It shows the Mo Family’s fortune is quite good.’
"Daoist Mo, there’s no need to be pessimistic. The Mo Family’s fortune is currently flourishing. It is not yet time for your clan to be exterminated."
"The concept of fortune has always been abstruse."
Mo Qingxue simply shook her head, offering no comment.
Just then, Mo Tong suddenly spoke, her voice childish and her little face filled with curiosity.
"Elder Qingxue, is this senior the Changqing Ancestor you’re always talking about?"
Upon hearing this, a blush instantly appeared on Mo Qingxue’s fair, pretty face.
She quickly suppressed it and chided the girl.
"Nonsense! I do not ’always talk about’ him."
Before Mo Tong could respond, she put the girl into a Spirit Beast Bag.
