Chapter 66 - 63: The People from the Ling Family Have Arrived

"People from the Yuwen Clan, one of the three major families of Central Earth, have also arrived," Lao Liu introduced.

Acting like a know-it-all, she pointed at a figure among the group and explained to Mo Qianqian, "That fat, pig-like guy is Yu Wenjingfeng. He is a newly emerged genius from the Yuwen Family who has never shown his face before, so he isn’t on the Hidden Dragon List.

"However, he claims his talent is enough to rank in the top ten.

"Based on his cultivation and age, theoretically speaking, he should be able to enter the top thirty. It’s just that he has pretty thick skin."

Although Lao Liu was talking to Mo Qianqian, she didn’t lower her voice. Everyone nearby could hear her, including the newly arrived Yuwen Family group.

Hearing this, the fat, giant ball of a youth—who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old—immediately glared at Mo Qianqian and Lao Liu.

"Who the hell dares to call me a pig? Show yourself if you have the guts!" Yu Wenjingfeng bellowed.

The crowd fell silent. Originally, not everyone had heard Lao Liu’s remark, but his outburst instantly drew everyone’s attention. Truth be told, given his massive physique, calling him a pig was quite an accurate description. However, no one else dared to say it out loud; they simply watched with amusement, eager for a good show.

"Mo Qianqian! It was Mo Qianqian who said it!" Lao Liu shouted back at him.

"Mo Qianqian?" Yu Wenjingfeng paused, his gaze sweeping over Lao Liu and Mo Qianqian. He could naturally tell that it was a girl who had been gossiping about him. He wasn’t stupid; he could easily distinguish between a male and female voice.

However, when he heard the name Mo Qianqian, his spirit jolted. Upon recognizing Mo Qianqian’s face, his entire demeanor turned cautious. The other members of the Yuwen Clan also revealed looks of astonishment. They had heard about Mo Qianqian’s exploits in Qingcheng along their journey. After being crippled, he had become a Body Cultivator capable of killing a Spirit Xuan Realm Third Layer expert. And now, he was actually here?

Mo Qianqian was rendered instantly speechless by Lao Liu’s words. He couldn’t help but take a few steps back, wondering if she was doing this on purpose to draw their hostility toward him. This girl probably wasn’t trying to help him; she was actively trying to get him killed. It was best to stay away from her.

"Hmph, you clearly yelled that! Do you think I’m deaf?" Yu Wenjingfeng coldly snorted at Lao Liu.

WHOOSH!

Lao Liu soared directly into the air, hovering in the void.

"Tongyou Realm!"

Yu Wenjingfeng and the crowd from the Yuwen Clan were all taken aback. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old at the Tongyou Realm! No wonder she dared to speak so recklessly. It seemed her background was anything but simple.

Yu Wenjingfeng patted his loose robes and shouted, "Hmph! I don’t care who said it, but just remember, don’t say it again!"

The crowd fell silent again. The three major families of the Great Xia Dynasty were a bit different from what they had imagined. Why did he seem so cowardly?

Highly satisfied, Lao Liu landed back near Mo Qianqian.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Right at that moment, more groups of people began to gather in their direction one after another. Among them were the Qin Family’s top genius, Qin Long, and the Cloud Void Sect’s second genius, Hou Xuanyun. There were also Shangguan Jing, Pei Hong, and several others. They were all covered in bloodstains. It seemed they had just gone through a fierce battle and rushed over after noticing the commotion here.

"Mo Qianqian!"

When Qin Long and the others saw Mo Qianqian appearing here completely unharmed, their eyes gleamed with a cold light. However, seeing that their Patriarch and Sect Leader were both present, and with a treasure about to emerge, they didn’t attack immediately. Instead, they gathered with their respective factions. Shangguan Jing and Pei Hong joined the group near the Yuling Sect Master.

"More and more people are arriving. A treasure is about to emerge, but when exactly will it appear?"

"I’m afraid it will take a little more time."

"There are quite a few Tongyou Realm experts here. I hope there’s more than just one treasure."

"Obtaining a treasure relies on strength and fate. It’s hard to say who will actually get their hands on it."

...

The crowd chattered amongst themselves in various discussions. Although Mo Qianqian drew a lot of attention, not everyone cared about him. They were much more focused on the treasure. To be precise, compared to Mo Qianqian, absolutely everyone was far more invested in the impending treasure.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Soon, another group of people, swept along by an Elder, flew swiftly toward their location. It was also a team of a dozen or so people, consisting of several elders and youths. Among them, a woman in a red dress was the most eye-catching. She looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with exquisite features and a fiery, mature, and alluring figure.

"Mo Qianqian!!!"

As soon as this group arrived, the woman in red let out a cold shout, her body radiating a palpable killing intent. The entire team followed suit, each member exuding murderous auras. The entire area was instantly saturated with a chilling, bloodthirsty atmosphere.

"Ling Lan!"

Seeing that woman, Mo Qianqian’s eyes narrowed. He recognized her. She was from the Ling Family; she was Ling Qingxue’s older female cousin, Ling Lan! This newly arrived group was none other than the Ling Family. Back when Ling Qingxue was faking kindness toward him, this Ling Lan had never once given him a good look. She had always opposed him in every aspect.

He even recognized the Elder leading the team—Ling Guang, a Sixth Level of Tongyou Realm expert! Besides him, there was another Fourth Level of Tongyou Realm Elder in the Ling Family’s team. The Ling Family had actually dispatched two Tongyou Realm experts!

"The Ling Family has arrived!" the Qin Family Patriarch let out a long sigh of relief. Mo Qianqian was already capable of killing Mu Yan Mountain, and had even slain a Spiritual Mysterious Realm Eighth Layer Elder. If he was given another chance to escape and grow stronger, their Qin Family would be in grave danger.

With the Yuling Sect Master, that Tongyou Realm girl, and the black-clad masked man helping him, killing Mo Qianqian wasn’t going to be easy. But now that the Ling Family was here, those helpers definitely wouldn’t be able to stop them anymore.

"Mo Qianqian, your enemies from the Ling Family have arrived," Lao Liu muttered beside Mo Qianqian. "That woman is called Ling Lan. She ranks thirteenth on the Hidden Dragon List, and her cultivation recently broke through to the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm. Her combat power is nothing to scoff at."

Before Mo Qianqian could respond, Ling Lan landed and coldly shouted, "Mo Qianqian, I knew from the start that you were no good! How dare you molest my cousin! I am going to kill you today!"

With that said, Ling Lan made no attempt to conceal her aura at the Ninth Level of Spirit Profound Realm, looking like she was going to charge forward and fight Mo Qianqian right then and there.

"You stole my Holy Dragon Bloodline and even framed me for molesting Ling Qingxue. Your Ling Family really knows how to scheme!"

Cold killing intent was already flashing in Mo Qianqian’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists. If it were people from the Lie Family or the Yuwen Family, he might not have wanted to make a move. But when it came to the Ling Family, he wanted to kill every single one he laid eyes on. Moreover, even if he wanted to run right now, he probably wouldn’t be able to escape anyway.

"Wait!"

However, right at this moment, another female voice echoed, "Ms. Ling Lan, Mo Qianqian betrayed me in the past. Why don’t you let me fight him first before you kill him?"

As soon as she spoke, another group of people arrived. Only two people had come. One was a pot-bellied elderly man wearing merchant robes, and the other was a young woman in an elegant, light-colored dress. The woman appeared to be in her early twenties. She had a sweet face and a gentle, graceful demeanor; every subtle movement and step she took exuded an air of pure nobility.

Seeing these two approach, Mo Qianqian frowned. He had never seen that woman before, nor did he know her. She claimed he had betrayed her? When did he ever betray her?

As for the elderly man accompanying her, although Mo Qianqian hadn’t seen him before either, he recognized the insignia on his clothes. It was the unique mark of the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion. Obviously, these two were from the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion.

If he wasn’t mistaken, they were likely from the Central Earth Headquarters of the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion. The Pavilion Master of the Qingcheng Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion had helped him before, so unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to provoke people from the pavilion’s headquarters. But from the looks of it, this woman in the elegant dress was looking for trouble with him?
