Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405: A City Filled with Murderous Intent
Building Owner Zhuo Ming stared blankly at Jing Yan.
"Building Owner Zhuo Ming! I am grateful for your previous care of Feng’er and Dongxue. However, Feng’er was first humiliated here by Mo Wei and other villains. If I hadn’t arrived at your Seven Treasures Restaurant in time today, both my Daoist couple and my daughter would have been in mortal danger."
"As for the likes of Mo Wei, it’s only right that I kill him. Reason is on my side," Jing Yan added.
Building Owner Zhuo Ming stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond to this person named Jing Yan.
He took a deep breath before speaking, "Here, strength is reason. The Mo Family and Liu Family are powerful; their reasoning is their fists."
Although Zhuo Ming didn’t want to say more to Jing Yan, he couldn’t help but add another line, thinking this young man was indeed too naïve, too immature.
"Heh, my fists are naturally bigger than theirs!" Jing Yan chuckled lightly.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a sweeping pressure emanated from outside, immediately permeating through the entire Seven Treasures Restaurant. This pressure carried strong killing intent. The visitor was evidently an enemy.
"They came rather quickly. Building Owner Zhuo Ming, why don’t we go out and take a look? The space inside the restaurant is too small and might restrict us. Besides, if there’s a conflict inside, it might cause you some loss," Jing Yan smiled again and said to Building Owner Zhuo Ming.
Then he glanced at Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue, and after a meaningful look, he stepped toward the door.
Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue closely followed Jing Yan.
Zhuo Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow them out. This matter couldn’t be avoided; his survival depended on the mood of the Mo Family and Liu Family.
Perhaps the City Lord could say a word in his favor.
The Mo Family and Liu Family are powerful, but they have some fear of City Lord Zhao Tianmei. After all, the City Lord is a disciple from the Divine Woman Sect.
The Divine Woman Sect is a major sect in the All Paths World, and Tanshan City is actually considered one of the cities under the sect’s control.
The All Paths World has many similarities with the Divine Domain. Major powers of the Divine Domain would also control large territories with many cities where martial artists gather.
When Jing Yan walked out of the restaurant, he saw numerous figures already gathered in the sky above, encircling the Seven Treasures Restaurant.
Among these people, one was instructing the guards of the City Lord Mansion to withdraw. General Shen Hui did not argue but clasped his hands, then retreated with his men to a distance.
This was not something he could interfere with. Since the Mo Family told him to retreat, it suited him well. Let the Mo Family do as they wish.
Mo Family Patriarch Mo Xiangu, upon seeing Jing Yan and the others emerge, focused his sharp gaze on Building Owner Zhuo Ming.
"Zhuo Ming, where is my son Mo Wei?" Mo Xiangu’s eyes brimmed with murderous intent.
"Patriarch Mo, please do not be angry! Please do not be angry! I just heard about the incident at the restaurant while at home and rushed here. I do not know the details of what happened," Zhuo Ming quickly bent over and explained.
Jing Yan understood Zhuo Ming’s stance. Zhuo Ming was dragged into this and had nothing special going with Jing Yan. There was indeed no reason for him to shoulder the responsibility.
"Hmph! Zhuo Ming, if my son Mo Wei is dead, I will surely take your old life!" Mo Xiangu threatened Zhuo Ming condescendingly.
Building Owner Zhuo Ming, upon hearing this, felt his face fall completely. He was simply a victim of this undeserved calamity!
"So, you are Mo Wei’s father?" Jing Yan stood on the ground, looking up at Mo Xiangu and his people.
This person had a scholarly appearance, indeed bearing some resemblance to Mo Wei.
Mo Xiangu’s eyes glanced at Jing Yan, then toward Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue. He knew that his son Mo Wei had been frequenting the Seven Treasures Restaurant recently because of this woman.
"Wretch, where is Mo Wei? Today, if I don’t see my son, I will make sure you all die without burial!" Mo Xiangu shouted at Gao Feng.
Even though he had received news that his son Mo Wei was dead, he still hoped that Mo Wei was alive. Or, he simply couldn’t believe someone dared to kill his son Mo Wei in Tanshan City.
Upon hearing Mo Xiangu’s curses, Jing Yan’s face immediately turned cold, his gaze emitting an icy aura.
Then, with a wave of his arm,
all the corpses inside the Seven Treasures Restaurant were instantly moved outside, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"This headless one is your son Mo Wei," Jing Yan coldly pointed at Mo Wei’s corpse on the ground and said to Mo Xiangu.
"Mo Wei!" Mo Xiangu looked at Mo Wei’s corpse.
Although Mo Wei’s head was gone, he recognized his son in an instant. After all, that was his son, his most cherished and only son. Even without any life aura emanating from Mo Wei, Mo Xiangu could clearly sense this was his precious son Mo Wei.
"No!"
"Damn it! No!" Mo Xiangu’s thunderous roar echoed, almost spreading through the entire Tanshan City.
Within the city, countless martial artists had already received the news and were gathering toward the Seven Treasures Restaurant from all directions.
They knew that today, a major event had occurred in Tanshan City.
In the distant sky, a large group of figures had gathered. They watched from afar, not daring to get any closer, watching as the Seven Treasures Restaurant was surrounded by Mo Family’s Patriarch himself and many powerful family members.
"You damn brat! I will tear you limb from limb! No, death is too easy for you! I will peel your flesh off bit by bit and eternally imprison your Divine Soul, never allowing you a moment’s peace, subjecting you to the Purgatory’s torment!" Mo Xiangu was so enraged that his face contorted, looking very terrifying.
His eyes were bloodshot, and killing intent enveloped him entirely.
"Liu Tang!"
At that moment, another loud shout came from a different direction.
Soon after, dozens of figures appeared on the far horizon. These were the Liu Family members, headed by Liu Family Patriarch, Liu Tang’s father.
The Liu Family Patriarch, from afar, at once spotted Liu Tang’s corpse.
Like Mo Xiangu, his eyes turned red upon sight.
"Who did this! Who killed my son Liu Tang! Show yourself, I will devour you alive!" The Liu Family Patriarch came rushing over, his overwhelming power roaring, while his mouth bellowed madly.
Standing not far from Jing Yan, Building Owner Zhuo Ming suddenly felt dizzy.
In fact, he really wished he could faint. Facing these two clan leaders of great families, it was as if all his strength had vanished without a trace.
