Chapter 392: Chapter 392: The Storm is Coming (3)_1

"Family Head, we do not agree with this matter."

Facing the crowd’s skepticism, Mo Jingchuan wore a look of helplessness and said, "I had already agreed at the time. Moreover, it has already been announced, and it is too late to go back on it. Besides, wasn’t it said that we would only allow them to return to the family if they made it into the top 20? If they don’t reach that, we won’t permit them to come back."

By now, there was no other choice. All they could do was hope that they would not make it into the top twenty. Several elders sat back down in their seats with cold expressions.

The families that had been invited did not know why the Mo Family would suddenly allow Mo Zhenting and the others to participate in the competition. When they thought about the grudge between the Mo Family and the Feng Family, many took pleasure in the other’s misfortune.

The expressions of the Feng Family members were very colorful at this moment. They had initially demanded the Mo Family hand over Mo Zhenting and the others, and the Mo Family had always claimed to be unaware of their whereabouts, which was known throughout the Continent. Now, here they were, openly appearing at the Mo Family branch’s ranking competition, which was akin to slapping the Feng Family in public, telling everyone they did not take them seriously!

Feng Xiangtian, the head of the Feng Family, watched the competition below with a cold face, his eyes flashing with a ruthless light, and said to the people behind him, "Once we return, initiate the first plan."

The first plan was to take advantage of the presence of the Mo Family branch’s elites in Delan City by sending people to attack the Mo Family branch directly and erase them. Then they would concentrate their forces to deal with the Mo Family’s main house.

Of course, this plan would not be complete without the involvement of the Divine Temple. However, they could not act in the name of the Divine Temple and had to sneak into the ranks of the Feng Family in secret.

The Mo Family members were still competing here, completely unaware that the Feng Family’s net had already been cast, just waiting for the final order.

On the stage, Mo Chi was competing in the arena, and Mo Zhenting and the others watched nervously. Dugu Qianye sat in the middle, occasionally speaking with Xuanyue.

Suddenly, she felt a vibration from the Communication Stone and took it out to look, her expression shifting. Xuanyue, seeing her expression, asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Divine Temple," Dugu Qianye uttered two words, and infused Spiritual Power into the stone.

"Where are you?" Wu Bo’s voice came through.

"I am currently in Delan City, watching the Mo Family branch’s ranking competition. Does the Hall Master have any instructions?" Dugu Qianye replied in a low voice.

Just then, Mo Chi won his match, drawing a burst of exclamations from the crowd. Wu Bo initially doubted Dugu Qianye’s words, but the lively atmosphere convinced him. He told Dugu Qianye, "You need to go to an unpopulated place right now."

Dugu Qianye sensed Wu Bo had something important to tell her, exited the arena, found a deserted area, and said, "What are your orders, Hall Master?"

"Are you certain there’s no one around you?" Wu Bo confirmed.

"Yes, Hall Master."

Upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s affirmative tone, Wu Bo said, "There are a few matters that you need to take care of..."

Mo Zhenting and the others had all seen Dugu Qianye leave. Roughly a quarter of an hour later, she returned with a solemn face.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen?" Xuanyue asked with concern.

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "I’ll tell you about it later."

Xuanyue nodded and continued to watch the match above.

At dusk, with the first day coming to an end, Mo Qiufeng, insisting on his responsibility as the person in charge of this competition and on the safety of all participants, worried that the Feng Family might cause them trouble at this time, insisted that Dugu Qianye and the others stay in the courtyard prepared for the separated family by the Mo Family.

Mo Zhenting and the others had originally wanted to return to the hotel, but Dugu Qianye preempted them, saying, "If so, then thank you, Young Master Qiufeng."

Although they were somewhat surprised by Dugu Qianye’s unusual behavior, the Mo Family members still followed Mo Qiufeng’s arrangement and stayed in a courtyard of the Mo Family.

Just as Mo Qiufeng had settled them in and was about to leave, Dugu Qianye stopped him, "Young Master Qiufeng, I need to speak with you."

"What is it?" Mo Qiufeng asked.

"I wonder if you could take me to see the Mo Family Head?"

"You want to see my grandfather?" Mo Qiufeng asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have something important to tell him," Dugu Qianye nodded. Seeing Mo Qiufeng hesitate, she added, "It concerns the life and death of the Mo Family."

Mo Qiufeng looked at Dugu Qianye and said, "It’s not that I won’t take you there, but they are definitely holding an Elders’ Council meeting right now, and they may not agree to see you."

"All you need to do is take me there," Dugu Qianye said. "I have a way to make them see me."

Since Dugu Qianye had said so, Mo Qiufeng could only take her to the Mo Family’s Council Hall. Upon arrival, they indeed found out from the guards that Mo Jingchuan was discussing the day’s competition with the elders.

"See, I told you they’re busy. They won’t see anyone else at this time," Mo Qiufeng said helplessly to Dugu Qianye.

Dugu Qianye smiled, walked up to the guard, presented the Alchemist Guild’s Token, and said, "Please take this to the Mo Family Head and tell him that I have an extremely urgent matter to discuss with him, and plead that he must meet with me."

The guard looked at Mo Qiufeng, who did not object, accepted the Token from Dugu Qianye, and turned to go inside. Shortly after, he came out and said, "The Family Head invites you."

Dugu Qianye nodded and walked in. Mo Qiufeng’s eyes widened in disbelief, and it was only when he saw her actually enter that he reacted and followed her into the Council Hall.

After the competition ended, the elders called Mo Jingchuan to discuss the day’s event, which frankly was to hold him accountable for afterwards! Since most elders were of a higher generation than him, he had to listen even when they spoke harshly. Facing the elders’ criticism for his private decision to let the Mo Family from Xuanyue Continent participate in the competition, he was feeling helpless when the guard brought in Dugu Qianye’s Token.

Mo Jingchuan recognized the Token as Dugu Qianye’s and, hearing the message from the guard that there was an extremely urgent matter, let her come in to convince these old stubborns herself.

The elders, upon hearing that Dugu Qianye was coming, stopped attacking Mo Jingchuan and all turned to look at the door, watching the two people walk in. They were somewhat surprised by Dugu Qianye’s aura. Even with so many elders watching her, she did not show a trace of panic or nervousness.

"Are you Dugu Qianye? Are you the one who led the attack against the Feng Family and brought problems to our Mo Family?" Before Dugu Qianye had reached the front, an elder questioned her.

Knowing she would face the elders’ censure, Dugu Qianye admitted frankly, "Yes."

"And you still have the nerve to say you want to return to the Mo Family?!"

"Why shouldn’t I have the nerve? By doing this, did we not also provide you with the pretext you desired?" Dugu Qianye replied with a smile.

The elders’ faces turned unsightly when Dugu Qianye hit the nail on the head regarding their intention. Mo Jingchuan quickly asked, "What is the extremely urgent matter you mentioned to the guard?"
