Chapter 256: Chapter 255: See Injustice on the Road?

Sixth Rank, Seventh Rank fierce beasts could only be found deep within the Xuan Demon Mountains.

In the outer areas, there were generally demon beasts and fierce beasts of the first to fifth ranks.

Who would have thought that this step had taken him so far?

It truly contained the essence of shrinking the ground to inches.

If this were in Ye Xuan’s heyday, stepping out across worlds in one move wouldn’t be surprising.

But now, he was only in the realm of Inscriptions, a step of three thousand miles, which could be said to shock the world.

"Forget it, since I’m here, I might as well take some things back with me," he said.

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and didn’t rush back to Emperor Immortal Sect immediately.

Since there was still some time before the opening of the Southern Ghost Tomb, he wasn’t in a hurry.

Buzz——

Dao patterns automatically dispersed, and Ye Xuan descended toward the ground.

Rustle, rustle, rustle——

Just as Ye Xuan was descending, a faint sound came from beneath the thick layer of fallen leaves.

Hiss!

Just as Ye Xuan was about to land, a pale gray Big Python suddenly sprang up, opening its wide maw directly toward Ye Xuan!

That gaping maw could almost have swallowed Ye Xuan whole!

Ye Xuan was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the Big Python, his right hand forming a sword finger, and he made a swift slash.

"Pfft——" A soft sound, and the Big Python’s gaping maw was split in two.

Bang, bang!

It fell to the ground, stirring up the leaves.

Fifth Rank Fierce Beast——Grey Line Python.

This fierce beast, although not very powerful, was extremely adept at ambushing and attacking people from hiding.

Most people might not notice it and could be swallowed whole in an instant.

The most terrifying aspect was that this creature feared no attacks from cultivators below the Prince Realm.

That was its most formidable trait.

Unfortunately, it had targeted Ye Xuan, who had killed it instantly.

After landing, Ye Xuan discerned the direction and headed towards Emperor Immortal Sect.

Though he was in no rush to return, he also didn’t want to go in the opposite direction, because then it would become difficult to return the further he went.

Along the way, Ye Xuan walked leisurely and un hurriedly.

If some fierce or demon beast foolishly approached, he wouldn’t spare them, slaughtering them and collecting anything valuable to sell later.

As he walked, Ye Xuan suddenly perked his ears, hearing some noise.

It came from the left, somewhat unclear.

Ye Xuan leisurely walked over there.

"Mo Fan, I didn’t expect your heart to be so vicious. I am your grandfather!"

This was an elderly, frail voice filled with anger.

"Grandfather? Hah, if you really considered me your grandson, why wouldn’t you let me return to Mo Family? Instead, you’ve hidden me in this tiny place? I’m sick of these days!" another younger, angry voice said.

Even just by hearing his voice, one could imagine his face contorted with rage as he spoke.

"Do you know how many people want to kill you? Before my strength recovers, returning to Mo Family means death, and it could even lead to the Mo Family’s destruction!" the elderly voice said again.

It was filled with anger and helplessness.

"I’ve had enough of your excuses. I’m now in the Cave Heaven Realm, and you can’t stop me from going where I want. This is the last time I will ask—give me the Mo Family Head Token, and I’ll go back myself!"

"Otherwise, don’t blame me for ending you!"

"You unfilial descendant! Do you really intend to commit such an outrageous act?" the elderly voice said.

The voices grew louder, and Ye Xuan saw the two figures.

One was a slightly hunched old man in burlap, and the other was a young man in a black robe.

"Mo Family..." Ye Xuan mused as he approached.

East Desolate Mo Family?

In Ye Xuan’s memory, this seemed to be a great clan.

Could that hunched old man be the Family Head of Mo Family?

After carefully observing, Ye Xuan suddenly laughed, gauging his cultivation, which seemed to be true.

He had suffered serious injuries, and even formed a chronic condition, no wonder he was suppressed by a young fellow from the Cave Heaven Realm.

"Who?" Ye Xuan’s arrival also startled the young man named Mo Fan, whose face suddenly darkened as he swept his gaze toward Ye Xuan.

"Mo Fan, turn back while you can, come with your grandfather back home. Once my injuries are healed, I will immediately take you and Xiao Lian back home," the old man in hemp clothing said to Mo Fan without turning around, seemingly unwilling to give up.

"Go back to that lousy place for what? If I return, it will be to the Mo family!" Mo Fan withdrew his gaze from Ye Xuan and said coldly.

"Quickly hand over the Family Head Token, or I may really kill you."

As he spoke, Mo Fan drew a sharp sword, his eyes fierce and cold.

Above Mo Fan’s head, five Grotto Heavens floated, bursting forth with an incredibly strong aura, oppressing the old man in hemp clothing.

This Mo Fan actually possessed five Grotto Heavens, and it seemed he was only at the Seventh Layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm, not yet at the peak; perhaps he still had a chance to further condense his Grotto Heavens.

This was definitely a genius!

It was just unfortunate that this genius now seemed utterly ferocious.

"Hey, old man, are you the Mo family’s Family Head?" Ye Xuan sized up Mo Fan and then turned his gaze to the old man in hemp clothing, taking the initiative to speak.

"Kid, mind your own business, or I’ll chop you up!" Mo Fan coldly swept Ye Xuan with his gaze, a fierce aura assaulting the face.

This Mo Fan might look young, but his hands had definitely been stained with plenty of blood.

He was truly ruthless.

However, the threats from Mo Fan didn’t concern Ye Xuan; instead, he watched the old man in hemp clothing with a light smile, speaking gently: "If you are the Mo family head, I’d like to make a deal with you. I’ll help you out of this predicament, and in return, someday I’ll come to your Mo Family to take something."

"It seems you really are courting death!" Seeing Ye Xuan directly ignoring him, Mo Fan’s eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent.

Whiz!

The next moment, the sharp sword in Mo Fan’s hand was suddenly shot out, aimed directly at Ye Xuan.

The speed was incredibly fast.

A flash of cold light was seen as the sword shot toward Ye Xuan’s brow.

"Ignorant of life and death," Mo Fan uttered a cold huff.

After casually throwing out a sword, he stopped paying attention to Ye Xuan and continued speaking to the old man in hemp clothing: "I’ll say it one last time..."

Dang!

Just then, a strange noise came, interrupting Mo Fan.

Turning to look, Mo Fan was suddenly stunned, his pupils contracting as he blurted out: "Impossible!"

There Ye Xuan was, actually pinching the sword shot by Mo Fan between two fingers, using just a little strength.

"Crack------------" With that sound, the sword instantly shattered into countless pieces, falling to the ground.

"You’re young, but not small in murderous intent," Ye Xuan said with a calm smile, an old-fashioned air in his words.

Mo Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, focusing intently on Ye Xuan, and then turning to look at the old man in hemp clothing, he said in a deep voice: "Is this guy one of your men?"

The old man in hemp clothing also looked at Ye Xuan in some surprise, and after hearing Mo Fan’s words, he said in a deep voice: "I’ve told you, when we first came here, I only brought you and Xiao Lian. No one else knows our whereabouts."

"Listen to your grandfather for once, returning to the Mo family now is tantamount to death!"

The old man in hemp clothing said gravely.

Mo Fan’s face grew cold, and he said sharply, "I don’t want to listen anymore."

"You!" The old man in hemp clothing’s eyes narrowed, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body.

This aura was completely incongruent with the old man in hemp clothing.

It was as though he was a supremely formidable entity in the world!

Yet Mo Fan sneered: "Old man, I’m not buying what you’re selling. If you really had that power, you wouldn’t have gotten injured by me today."

Indeed, the old man’s body bore many sword scars, but none were fatal. It seemed as though Mo Fan had purposely made them so.

"Old man, it seems this grandson of yours might be beyond teaching," Ye Xuan said half jokingly: "Seeing as he was about to kill me just now, I’ll reluctantly help you handle him."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan walked toward Mo Fan.

"This matter doesn’t require your involvement!" the old man in hemp clothing finally spoke to Ye Xuan reluctantly, but with a tone that was unmistakably commanding.

That tone was as if a long-time high-ranking person naturally released a force, making one subconsciously feel an unbearable power weighing down.

Tremendously terrifying!

This old man in hemp clothing was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

Especially considering the surge of aura that the old man in hemp clothing had suddenly released just now, it was even more certain!

"Now it’s not a question of whether help is needed, but that he attacked me,"

Ye Xuan smiled lightly, not heeding the old man in hemp clothing’s words at all.

Mo Fan was getting agitated, staring at Ye Xuan intensely and saying in a deep voice, "Kid, you think just because you caught my casual strike, you have me figured out?"
