Chapter 550: Chapter 549: Paying Homage to the Ancestors

"Is it sufficient reason that I, Mo Yunchui, am known as the Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter?"

Mo Yunchui said coldly and indifferently.

The higher-ups of the Mo family felt the terrifying aura emanating from Mo Yunchui, their expressions changing drastically.

It seemed that only at this moment did they remember this seemingly aged elder once bore the invincible title of ’Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter,’ a name whose power within the East Desolate required no further elaboration.

For a time, everyone was subdued by Mo Yunchui.

By comparison, although Mo Yunli was also formidable, he still fell far short when compared to the current Mo Yunchui.

If not for the support of the elder Mo Tongfeng, Mo Yunli would never have been able to assume the position of Family Head.

"A group of unworthy descendants, unworthy to be called disciples of the Mo family!" Mo Shanhu was no longer able to contain his anger.

If it had not been for his inability to take action at the moment, he would have immediately turned these ignorant fools into mincemeat.

He hadn’t emerged from seclusion for too long, and to his surprise, he no longer held much deterrence, leading to some daring to contradict his words.

Truly deserving of death!

It seemed that the matter of today had still not ended even now.

Mo Shanhu looked at the black-robed youth with his hands in his pockets and eyes slightly closed, finding him somewhat unfathomable.

Logically, with the current situation nearly having completely turned around, Ye Xuan should have no reason to not pull back, which left Mo Shanhu deeply puzzled.

However, whatever the case might be, he had already informed the ancestor, believing it wouldn’t take long for the ancestor to arrive.

When that time came, naturally, he wouldn’t need to do much.

"Mountain Tiger, for what matter do you summon this old man?"

While Mo Shanhu was deep in thought, a voice rang out in his heart.

This voice could only be heard by Mo Shanhu alone.

Mo Shanhu was slightly startled, then quickly realized and hurriedly replied, "Ancestor, there’s trouble in the Mo family."

Mo Shanhu explained the situation as swiftly as possible.

The aged voice fell silent, as if pondering.

After a moment, the aged voice spoke, "You keep an eye on that youth, and the old man will speak with him."

"Yes, Ancestor!" Mo Shanhu responded respectfully, closing his eyes for a moment and then opening them again to look at Ye Xuan.

The next instant, Mo Shanhu’s gaze changed, and the aura around him was completely different as well.

The change was manifested in his divinity.

Ordinary people could hardly perceive it.

Even Mo Yunchui and Mo Tongfeng failed to notice this.

In the crowd, only Ye Xuan could clearly sense it.

Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, landing on ’Mo Shanhu’ and said lightly, "Let your true self come."

The mysterious ancestor of the Mo family hidden within Mo Shanhu’s body didn’t even have the chance to converse with Ye Xuan before the Divine Soul disappeared instantaneously from within Mo Shanhu.

To be precise, Ye Xuan’s words had directly shaken the mysterious ancestor of the Mo family back into his own body.

In a dark cavern far from the Mo family, all of a sudden, two golden glows surged into the sky, bursting through the Nine Heavens Cloud.

The next moment, those two golden glows swiftly rolled back!

It was extremely shocking!

When the golden glows receded, the dark cavern became bright.

Then it was discovered that those two golden glows were in fact the gaze from the old man within the cavern!

At this time, the old man was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his cheeks gaunt as if he were on the verge of death.

However, his vigor was abundant, vast like an ocean.

Sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm.

"Who exactly is that youth?!"

At the moment, the old man’s cloudy eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt.

His initial intention had been to possess Mo Shanhu’s body to converse with Ye Xuan.

But before he could even take over Mo Shanhu’s body, Ye Xuan had spoken a word and shocked his Divine Soul back into his own body!

Such power was truly fearsome.

Combining what Mountain Tiger had told him, the old man felt that this youth’s origins were not simple at all.

It could even be said that he knew the Mo family very well.

"Forget it, I’ve been buried underground for over a hundred thousand years. Going out for a walk would be nice."

The old man stood up from the cushion with a hunched figure.

He supported the legs above his knees with both hands, seeming to try to straighten his back.

Boom!

The moment the old man slowly straightened up, he vanished from the spot instantly.

And in the next moment.

The old man appeared in the Mo Family Divine City, standing ten steps in front of Ye Xuan.

Teleporting out of thin air.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the old man, "Your movement is still quite good."

The old man smiled faintly and gave a slight bow with his hands, "May I ask why the young friend had Mountain Tiger summon this old one? What is the matter at hand?"

It was at this time that everyone noticed the old man had appeared here.

"Ancestor!" Mo Shanhu called out.

"Ancestor?" Mo Yunchui, Mo Yunli, and the others were somewhat bewildered.

They had never seen this old man before.

The old man’s arrival hadn’t startled anyone.

Many people hadn’t even noticed the old man who suddenly appeared.

Not until now.

The old man waved his hand and squinted as he sized up Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan, still with a calm expression, drew his hands out of his pockets. With the index finger and thumb of his left hand, he gently rubbed the Mo jade ring on the thumb of his right hand and slowly spoke, "I have come to retrieve an ancient item and took the opportunity to see an old friend."

These words sounded different to the ears of others.

In Mo Yunchui’s view, Ye Xuan had come for him.

In the eyes of Mo Yunli and Mo Tongfeng, Ye Xuan had also come for Mo Yunchui.

To Mo Shanhu, it seemed Ye Xuan had come for an ancestor of the Mo family.

As for the old man who had suddenly appeared, he didn’t think so.

The old man’s gaze was drawn to the Mo jade ring on the thumb of Ye Xuan’s right hand, which he scrutinized closely.

The more he looked, the more shocked he became.

This object...

Something seemed off about it.

A subtle change showed on the old man’s face.

Ye Xuan didn’t rush but waited patiently.

After a while, the old man’s expression began to undergo even greater changes.

Mo Yunchui and the others also sensed that something was amiss.

Their gazes followed the old man’s to the Mo jade ring on Ye Xuan’s right thumb.

But no matter how they looked, they could not discern anything special.

Yet from the changes in the old man’s expression, they knew that the Mo jade ring must have an extraordinary origin.

In fact, at this very moment, Mo Tongfeng was also intently watching that Mo jade ring.

The more he watched, the more uneasy he felt.

Because he had a feeling that the power left within him was greatly related to this Mo jade ring!

But he couldn’t quite put his finger on what the connection was.

After quite some time, the old man abruptly took a few agitated steps forward but then seemed to think better of it and stopped. He kept staring intently at the Mo jade ring, his expression a mix of excitement and apprehension.

"Mo family disciple Mo Shenchuan pays respects to the esteemed ancestor!"

All of a sudden, the old man knelt on both knees and kowtowed, speaking respectfully and aloud.

His voice was like thunderous boom, echoing loudly.

It could be heard throughout the entire Mo Family Divine City.

In an instant, Mo Tongfeng, Mo Yunchui, Mo Yunli, and Mo Shanhu all showed a change of color.
