Chapter 46: Declaration of War
The situation of Sun Martial city changed as a dragon chant resounded across the sky.
When everyone looked up, they saw a golden light spreading, and then a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon emerged from the void.
There was also a man standing on the back of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, wearing a golden-yellow robe and an emperor crown, with a majestic look looking down on the world.
After cruising in the sky over Sun Martial City, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon came to the top of the Mo Family's mansion, and then a vague but majestic voice rang out, "Where is Mo Xiu?"
"Where is Mo Xiu?"
"Where is Mo Xiu?"
"Where is Mo Xiu?"
...
The sound rippled as if echoing.
The people in Sun Martial City could hear it clearly, and the people in the Mo Family's mansion were even more attacked by magical sounds as their ears were tingling faintly.
Everyone in the Mo Family, including Mo Ruyi, ran into the courtyard one after another, looking up at the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon above.
Yan Ran, Lin Jie, and Lin Jiannan also ran out and was shocked soon.
"Yan Wuji!"
"How can this be?"
"Why is he here?"
The three of them had seen Yan Wuji, so naturally, they wouldn't fail to recognize him. However, Yan Wuji appeared above the Mo Family's mansion and came with a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. This scene was beyond their expectation.
Mo Ruyi saw Yan Wuji for the first time. Hearing this, she couldn't help asking, "Can Yan Wuji have such a terrifying strength?"
She knew that Yan Wuji was very strong. Even the so-called four masters next to Yan Wuji were said to be vulnerable to Yan Wuji.
However, the Yan Wuji that she saw at this time was able to ride on even the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and this gave people an extremely strong sense of oppression. This could no longer be described by the word "powerful". It might be more appropriate to say that it was "terror".
Yan Ran, Lin Jie, and Lin Jiannan looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on, because, in their impression, Yan Wuji's strength was not so terrifying.
Soon, Mo Ruyi realized something and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, his target should be you and Mo Xiu, you go in and hide."
Yan Ran had some doubts that hiding in the house was useless, but it was better than exposing Yan Wuji's vision.
Just before she could hide in a room, Yan Wuji's eyes on the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's back swept away, and Yan Ran had already been spotted, then he immediately sneered, "Yan Ran, you are here as expected," he said, then slamming down a palm at the Mo Family's mansion.
"Boom"
Several huge palm shadows fell.
The Mo Family's protective array was still operating, but it couldn't stop those palm shadows. Only a crisp sound was heard before the protective array was broken. Although the palm shadow was mostly eliminated, the rest still fell in.
"Don't even think about it!"
Lin Jiannan drew his sword out of its sheath, rose to the sky, and slashed towards the palm shadows.
However, as soon as he touched those palm shadows, Lin Jiannan was thrown out like a kite with a broken line.
Fortunately, at this moment, Mo Ruyi, Yan Ran, Lin Jie, and others all reacted and quickly flew away from those palm shadows.
"Boom"
There was another blast as many houses in the Mo Family's mansion were turned into ruins.
Failing to hit the target, Yan Wuji seemed a little annoyed and dropped another palm.
But this time, before Yan Ran escaped, a figure appeared and punched the palm shadows.
"Boom"
The palm shadows burst apart in mid-air, the violent airwaves swept in all directions, and with whirring sounds, the aftermath of energy raged, falling on various places in the mansion, leaving a series of nicks.
"Mo Xiu!"
Mo Ruyi looked at the figure that just appeared and was immediately overjoyed.
Yan Ran also secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if Mo Xiu's appearance had brought her great confidence.
Originally, the place where Mo Xiu was located was a certain distance away from the Mo Family's mansion, even if Mo Xiu could use the Imperial Spirit Secret Art, it would not be so easy to fly back in time.
Fortunately, he had set up Teleportation Array in Mo's mansion and Dark Mist Mountain before, and he was located not far from Dark Mist Mountain, so it didn't take much time to go back to Mo's mansion via Teleportation Array.
Mo Xiu nodded slightly at Mo Ruyi and Yan Ran, indicating that they didn't need to worry, and then he looked at Yan Wuji and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in the sky.
At this time, Yan Wuji also noticed Mo Xiu, "You are Mo Xiu?"
"Yes." Mo Xiu nodded lightly.
"Did those people I sent, including Wan Yixuan and Zeng Canghai, die in your hands?" Yan Wuji asked again.
"So what?" Mo Xiu asked back.
Yan Wuji sneered, "Very well, I have remembered you. I will spare you and Yan Ran for the time being today. In the days to come, I will calm down the surviving members of the previous king, and I will personally come to Sun Martial City to beat your Mo Family!"
After this was said, there was another dragon roar resounding across the sky, then the figures of Yan Wuji and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon gradually faded, and finally disappeared, even the golden light that enveloped the entire Sun Martial City was also nowhere to be seen.
The sky regained its clarity as if nothing had happened just now, but the piles of ruins in the Mo Family's mansion showed that all this was not an illusion.
Mo Ruyi walked over to Mo Xiu and said with some doubts, "Mo Xiu, what did Yan Wuji mean by that?"
"He is declaring war on us, which shows that he has truly regarded us as an opponent," Mo Xiu said, shaking his head slightly, "but I never regarded him as an opponent."
"Didn't he already come just now? If he really has such a powerful strength, why should he wait until he could calm down the remnants of the previous king before coming to Sun Martial City to level our Mo Family?" Mo Ruyi was puzzled.
"No, Yan Wuji has never been to Sun Martial City," Mo Xiu corrected, "at this time, he should be in the royal palace."
"Huh?" Mo Ruyi was slightly surprised.
Yan Ran was also a little surprised, "He's in the royal palace? Then what did we just see?"
Mo Xiu answered, "It should be a treasure. If I guess it is correctly, it should still be the treasure of the Yan Kingdom, but it was stolen by Yan Wuji. This kind of treasure often needs years of accumulation before it can be used once. Yan Wuji may not be able to use it again within this time."
"Then Yan Wuji's strength can even be described in the word "terror" because of that treasure?" Mo Ruyi asked again.
"There is also the effect of that treasure, but his strength is indeed quite strong in the Yan Kingdom." Mo Xiu replied.
Mo Ruyi and Yan Ran fell into silence immediately, both seem to be reassessing Yan Wuji's strength.
"Young Master Mo, Uncle Lin seems to be about to die." Lin Jie ran over suddenly and said with some anxiety.
Mo Xiu walked towards Lin Jiannan and glanced casually.
Today, Lin Jiannan was indeed dying. When he confronted those palm shadows just now, it seemed that he was just thrown away, but he was actually seriously injured.
Before that, whether Lin Jiannan was dead or alive, Mo Xiu wouldn't care about it.
But this time, he treated Lin Jiannan without saying a word.
After running the Myriad Wood Spirit Art, the green light flickered in Sun Martial City. Countless green particles gathered in the palm of Mo Xiu's and were forced into Lin Jiannan's body by Mo Xiu.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Jiannan woke up.
After stopping the operation of the Myriad Wood Spirit Art, the green light disappeared.
Lin Jie quickly helped Lin Jiannan up and asked with great concern, "Uncle Lin, are you okay?"
"I..." Lin Jiannan felt the condition in his body for a while and found that there was no injury at all, and he was a little surprised.
"It was Young Master Mo who saved you and pulled you back from the ghost gate." Lin Jie quickly explained.
Lin Jiannan was stunned, and soon got up to thank Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu waved his hand and immediately called Mo Ruyi, "Go and call the three of Mo Miao, Qin Huaili, and Wang Mingkui. I have something to order."
"Okay." Mo Ruyi nodded.
Not long after, Mo Miao, Qin Huaili, and Wang Mingkui came to Mo Xiu one after another.
Seeing everyone arrived, Mo Xiu just said, "I will leave Sun Martial City for Yan Capital in three days, but there are some things I need you to do before that."
After a pause, he then said, "Song Qian has been killed by me. At present, his turf should be master-less. I will give you all the Demon Puppets. The three of you will go and take control of Fu City. By the way, also take control of the entire Azure Prefecture and wait for my next order."
Mo Miao, Qin Huaili, and Wang Mingkui looked at each other.
After a while, Mo Miao asked, "Which of the three of us should be the lord?"
"You are in charge of the overall situation." Mo Xiu replied, "Qin Huaili has a better understanding of the situation in Fu City, let him assist you, and Wang Mingkui will be responsible for government affairs."
As he said, he looked at Qin Huaili, "As for those people from the Qin Family, you can take all of them to Fu City. Whether you can restart your family again in Fu City is up to you, I won't help you."
Qin Huaili hesitated for a while and finally shook his head, "The Qin Family is a vassal of the Mo Family. So I think it's best for the remaining members to stay in Sun Martial City."
"That's also fine." Mo Xiu didn't have any comments.
"I am now the city lord of Sun Martial City. If I go to Fu City, who will be in charge of Sun Martial City?" Wang Mingkui asked suddenly.
"You hand over the position to Mo Ruyi. From now on, she will not only be the Patriarch of the Mo Family, but also the City Lord of Sun Martial City." Mo Xiu replied patiently.
"..."
Wang Mingkui was aggrieved at once, but now Mo Xiu's words were like the imperial edict, so it was difficult for him not to comply.
Mo Xiu looked at Lin Jie and Lin Jiannan again, "Lin Jie, stay in the mansion, you can help as much as possible, Lin Jiannan and the three of them go to Fu City and listen to Mo Miao's instructions."
Lin Jie and Lin Jiannan were stunned. They didn't expect Mo Xiu to even order them.
But this was not the most important thing. Soon, Lin Jiannan asked, "What about the princess?"
"She will go to Yan Capital with me," Mo Xiu said and waved his hand, "that's it, you go back and prepare separately, and ask me if you have any questions."
