Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: Lingchi
Mo Wei and Liu Tang, these playboys, Zhao Tianmei was not unfamiliar with them, and had seen them more than once.
These playboys were each little tyrants in Tanshan City, mostly of vile character, behaving recklessly.
So, when Chi Lin mentioned this, Zhao Tianmei roughly understood the course of events. It must have been that Mo Wei and others saw a woman named Gao Feng being beautiful and had bad intentions, then Gao Feng’s Daoist partner came, and in anger, killed them.
What Chi Lin described next confirmed that Zhao Tianmei’s guess was entirely correct.
Honestly, Zhao Tianmei actually also felt that Mo Wei and the other playboys deserved to die. Relying on their background to commit numerous evils in Tanshan City, their death would be beneficial for the city. The problem was, their backgrounds were too powerful.
How this matter should be handled was very tricky for Zhao Tianmei.
"City Lord, the martial artist who killed Mo Wei and others is extremely powerful. According to the news from General Shen Hui, the opponent should be a God Lord level powerhouse. General Shen Hui took a hundred guards to arrest him but couldn’t succeed. However, that person showed mercy to the guards and did not harm them," Chi Lin continued to tell Zhao Tianmei.
"Chief Manager Chi Lin, what do you think I should do?" Zhao Tianmei looked at Chi Lin.
"This..." Chief Manager Chi Lin furrowed his white eyebrows, thought for a while, and then said, "The person who killed Mo Wei is very powerful and probably won’t be easily captured. I think it’s better if the City Lord Mansion doesn’t meddle for now. At this time, the Mo Family and Liu Family must have also gotten the information; we might as well see what they plan to do first."
"If they come to the City Lord Mansion looking for you, City Lord, we can discuss it in detail then. If they don’t come to the City Lord Mansion and directly seek revenge, our City Lord Mansion will also have more initiative," analyzed Chi Lin.
"Hmm, for now, it seems we can only take one step at a time," Zhao Tianmei nodded and then added, "However, I can’t do nothing. Now, I need to personally go to the Seven Treasures Restaurant to meet that person and see what he’s all about."
...
Tanshan City, Mo Family!
"Boom!"
An astonishing wave of power spread throughout the entire Mo Family Mansion.
All the Mo family members felt this wave of power, each showing an expression of shock.
"All clan elders, gather!"
A voice echoed throughout the mansion. Embedded in this voice was intense anger.
All Mo family members knew that this was the voice of their family patriarch, Mo Xiangu.
"What happened?"
"What’s going on? Why is the patriarch so enraged?"
"The patriarch summoned all the clan elders. It must be something extremely significant. I remember the last time the patriarch summoned all the elders was a millennia ago when our Mo Family almost went to full-scale war with the Wang Family. Could it be that this time our Mo Family is going to war with another major family?"
Many Mo family members whispered among themselves, discussing.
Meanwhile, a piece of news quickly spread within the Mo Family Mansion.
"What did you say? Mo Wei is dead?"
"Young Master Mo Wei was killed? Impossible! In Tanshan City, who would dare lay a hand on Young Master Mo Wei? He is the patriarch’s son! Even those few major forces of the Wang Family would never dare to do such a thing!"
"This matter is absolutely true. Young Master Mo Wei is already dead, killed right inside the Seven Treasures Restaurant."
"This... My God! Young Master Mo Wei is dead. No wonder the family is so furious. The patriarch only has this one son, Young Master Mo Wei!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Figures swiftly moved from various places in the family mansion toward the courtyard where the patriarch resided. These figures were all elder-level figures of the Mo family, almost all of them were experts of the Main God Realm.
Among these people, there was even a Supreme Elder, who was just like the patriarch Mo Xiangu, a God Lord level expert. There are only two God Lord level experts within the Mo family. It’s precisely because of these two God Lords that the Mo family can reign supreme in Tanshan City and, sometimes, even face the City Lord Mansion with a cold front.
Mo Xiangu, with the appearance of a middle-aged man, looked somewhat suave. But in Tanshan City, everyone knew that this Mo family patriarch had an extremely fiery temper.
At this moment, Mo Xiangu’s cold gaze swept over the many clan elders.
"Everyone!"
"My son Mo Wei is dead!"
"The person who killed him is still in the Seven Treasures Restaurant! This person’s strength should not be weak; if the information is correct, he should have cultivation at the God Lord realm."
"However, regardless of what his cultivation is, whoever dared lay a hand on my son Mo Wei, I will tear him to pieces!"
Mo Xiangu’s tone was filled with a chilling murderous intent.
Those present could very clearly feel the coldness emanating from Patriarch Mo Xiangu.
No matter who that person is or what cultivation they have, they are doomed. In Tanshan City, killing the patriarch’s son of the Mo family means certain death, no matter how formidable they are!
"Mo Wei, this child... indeed has been somewhat spoiled," the Supreme Elder of the Mo family shook his head.
"However, no matter how many mistakes Mo Wei has made, my Mo family absolutely will not allow an outsider to lay a hand on this child Mo Wei. That person, daring to lay a hand on Mo Wei, is challenging our entire Mo family!"
"Therefore, this person must be exterminated!" the Supreme Elder’s tone shifted as he spoke decisively and sternly.
"Yes! The dignity of our Mo family cannot be violated!"
"Exterminate this person!" the elders shouted fiercely!
"Set off, head to the Seven Treasures Restaurant now. I will have this person have a slow death through slicing!" Mo Xiangu glanced at the Supreme Elder, then waved his hand, roaring angrily.
Meanwhile, in another mansion in Tanshan City, this was the Liu family’s residence.
A similar situation was happening here as well. The high-level figures of the family had been summoned in the shortest time possible. The head of the Liu family was also eager to tear Jing Yan apart.
A group from the Liu family, in grand fashion, was also preparing to head from their residence to the Seven Treasures Restaurant.
Inside the Seven Treasures Restaurant.
"Feng’er, you’ve suffered," Jing Yan looked at Gao Feng.
This time, he came just in time. If he had been even a little late, he really didn’t know what might have happened.
The coldness in Jing Yan’s heart had not dissipated just because of Mo Wei’s death. He knew very well that if he hadn’t arrived in time, his wife Gao Feng and daughter Jing Dongxue would have fallen into the hands of that scoundrel Mo Wei, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
This matter would definitely not end here. Of course, Jing Yan also knew that the forces behind Mo Wei and the others would definitely not let it go either. They would certainly come to the Seven Treasures Restaurant to seek revenge on him.
The reason Jing Yan was staying at the Seven Treasures Restaurant was precisely to wait for them to come.
While Jing Yan was talking to Gao Feng, he manipulated the Space Law and, through Divine Thought, directly transferred Jing Dongxue from inside the room to his front.
