582 Chapter 582-harmony without an old friend Mo Kebei sneered,”well said!” Mo Xiaochuan had trespassed the forbidden area, so he would be crippled of his cultivation and expelled from the sect! Wan Feng clan, are you ready?” Mo Wanfeng’s expression finally changed. With a look of deep sorrow, he said, ” “If not for big brother Dou Chen, Wan Feng would have died outside. After living for so many years, he’ll be content if he can return this life to his son!” He knelt down on the throne and said in a clear voice, ” “I hope that the ancestral elders and the six great elders will give us their blessings on account of big brother Dou Chen’s great contribution to the family and Wan Feng’s silent contribution over the years!” He suddenly kowtowed without using any vital Qi. bang! The green rocks in front of the hall immediately shattered, and blood flowed in all directions. A sense of sorrow spread throughout the hall. Everyone’s expression changed, and they revealed looks of compassion. The six Grand elders also frowned, deep in thought. Only the ancestral elder on the throne in the middle still had his eyes closed, and his shadow kept shaking in the light. Mo Kebei’s eyes shot out a sharp light as he shouted, ” “Mo Wanfeng, the rules of the clan are the most important! As the Grand Elder of the clan, you actually tried to interfere with the execution of the punishment with your own body. This in itself is a violation of the rules and should be severely punished!” He pointed at mo Xiaochuan on the ground and shouted coldly, ” “If he’s forgiven again and again just because he’s mo douchen’s son, then what’s the point of keeping the clan rules? I don’t deny his father’s contributions to the family, but I’ve already forgiven him twice, and it’s long been offset!” His shout immediately dispelled the sorrow in the hall and turned it into a sharp and solemn atmosphere. Everyone silently nodded in agreement with mo Kebei’s words. If he wanted to convince someone, he would have to punish mo Xiaochuan severely. Mo Wanfeng raised his head, his face covered in blood, and growled, ” “Mo Kebei, don’t think that I don’t know what you’re planning! It’s not brother douchen’s contribution that will make up for Xiaochuan this time, but my cultivation!” He suddenly circulated his Qi in his palms, and the Golden Emperor Qi of the nine Heavens shot out, about to hit his dantian! Mo Wanfeng wanted to strike first and gain the upper hand. He wanted to cripple his Martial Emperor cultivation to win the sympathy of the Grand elders and the crowd, so that they could let mo Xiaochuan off. Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect mo Wanfeng to be so unyielding, to give up his cultivation without any attachment. It was clear that he was extremely protective of mo Xiaochuan. “Uncle Wan Feng, don’t!” Mo Xiaochuan, who had been lying on the ground on the verge of death, suddenly let out a blood-curdling shriek as an aura burst out of nowhere. The tears mixed with the blood flowed into his mouth, and he couldn’t tell if it was bitter, bitter, or fishy. His body, which had long been injured and unable to move, actually forced itself up. His five fingers dug into the bluestone ground like hooks, leaving finger marks. The six Grand elders sitting at the head of the table were all shocked. No one expected mo Wanfeng to be so decisive, and it was too late for them to attack. The elder on the throne suddenly opened his eyes. His illusory body seemed to become more solid, and a strange power emerged from his body. He looked directly at mo Wanfeng’s palm print. The Golden Emperor Qi that was about to hit his dantian suddenly overflowed from his palm and dissipated like smoke. “Pa!” Mo Wanfeng’s palm landed on his elixir field, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. However, the Emperor Qi had already dissipated, and his dantian was not shattered. He was only seriously injured. “Ancestor!” Everyone was shocked and quickly looked at the illusionary figure on the throne. A hint of disappointment flashed through mo Kebei’s eyes. However, since the ancestral patriarch had made a move, even the six Grand elders did not dare to disobey. They all waited for the decree. The ancestral elder’s gaze fell on mo Xiaochuan. After that attack, his figure seemed to have become fainter, and his voice seemed to have come from the netherworld.”This is Dou Chen’s son?” “Yes, great ancestor. He’s mo Xiaochuan, big brother Dou Chen’s only biological son!” Mo Wanfeng hurriedly dragged his heavily injured body and knelt on the ground, ” “After big brother Dou Chen passed away, I’ve been raising Xiaochuan. Wan Feng is willing to bear the punishment for his poor discipline!” The ancestral patriarch’s voice was emotionless and faint as he said, ” “Dou Chen has a divine body and shocking talent. He’s the most promising person in the mo family for thousands of years to reach the ultimate realm of martial arts. I didn’t expect him to die so early. I have a certain responsibility for this. However, his son, Lao Ai, raised his eyes and glanced at mo Xiaochuan before sighing. a Tiger father and a dog son. He has very mediocre talent. He only reached the Tri-elements realm at the age of eight and didn’t even have the qualifications to enter the mo family’s elite Pavilion. Wan Feng, you’re truly foolish to give up your entire cultivation for such a son.” “Elder, if it wasn’t for big brother Dou Chen saving my life, I would have died in the war,” mo Wanfeng said with determination. I’ve always treated Xiao Chuan as my own son, and it’s the Father’s fault for not taking care of the child. I’m the one to be blamed, so I naturally have to be punished for my son!” Mo Xiaochuan’s ten fingers were already buried in the ground. His thin and frail body trembled as he cried, ” “Uncle Wan Feng, I’m useless. It’s not your fault. Grand elders and Grand elders, if you want to punish someone, please punish me. It has nothing to do with uncle Wan Feng.” One of the Grand elders in the upper left corner suddenly said coldly, ” Hmph, if it wasn’t for Wan Feng protecting you time and time again, you would’ve broken the clan rules and been chased out. You’re a disgrace to your father! His sarcastic words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the heart of an eight-year-old boy. Mo Xiaochuan gritted his teeth in pain, unable to even let out a groan. “This is the last time,” the ancestral patriarch sighed. After this, if you break the rules again, you will be punished according to the law. There is no need to alarm us.” “We will obey the decree!” Everyone stood up and bowed. The shadow of the ancestral elder closed his eyes again and gradually disappeared from the throne. Mo Wanfeng forced his injured body forward and helped mo Xiaochuan up. Another child ran out from behind mo Wanfeng. He looked at the bloodstains on mo Xiaochuan’s body in fear and clenched his fists. Brother Xiaochuan, I’m going to become a great Alchemist in the future. If you get beaten up again, I’ll be able to help you. Mo Xiaochuan lowered his head. Although the injuries on his body were severe, they were not as painful as the knife-like pain in his heart. “Huayuan, let’s go.” Mo Wanfeng picked mo Xiaochuan up and left the torture chamber. There was a clamor of discussion behind him, and the people of the mo family left one after another. If not for mo Xiaochuan’s special status, he would not have called for a meeting with the entire sect. Mo Kebei’s face was filled with maliciousness as he looked at mo Wanfeng’s back and didn’t speak for a long time. When the crowd dispersed, there was only one Taishang elder left. It was the one who had spoken earlier, and also mo Kebei’s father, mo Pingxi. He looked at his son, who was deep in thought, and asked doubtfully, ” “What are you still thinking about?” Mo Kebei said,”father, the ancestral elders have doted on mo Xiaochuan too much.” I can’t believe you let him go for the third time. This is really hard to accept!” Mo Pingxi said,”this is the decision of the ancestors. Who dares to disobey?” As the clan leader, you should just act according to the rules. As long as you don’t use your power, no one will say anything bad about you.” Mo Kebei sighed,”that may be true, but this is such a good opportunity.” Mo Wanfeng almost destroyed his own cultivation, but the elder was still able to save him. Just what level is the ancestral patriarch’s cultivation?” Mo Pingxi’s face was filled with fear. He paced back and forth in the empty Hall and finally said, ” “The ancestral patriarch’s cultivation is heaven-defying. You don’t have to guess. Even if mo Wanfeng’s cultivation is still there, he won’t be a threat to you. “Mo Xiaochuan’s aptitude is mediocre, and he has let down father’s courage in the past. Their bloodline will not be able to rise again for hundreds of years, so you can safely be the clan leader. However, I want to tell you that power and wealth are just fleeting clouds. Only martial arts is the ultimate goal of people of my generation.” “Yes, I will follow father’s instructions!” Mo Kebei humbly lowered his head, and the two of them disappeared from the hall. At night, in the mo family’s courtyard. Mo Xiaochuan knelt on the metal pole. The hundreds of hooks on the metal pole had pierced into his tender knees, and the ground was covered in blood. Mo Wanfeng looked at the bright moon in the sky with a cold expression. His eyes were filled with loneliness. Mo Huayuan looked at mo Xiaochuan’s legs, and his heart trembled. He grabbed mo Wanfeng’s legs and pleaded, ” “Father, brother Xiaochuan is already so badly injured. Please don’t punish him anymore.” Mo Wanfeng kicked his son away and yelled, ” “Get back! If you continue, I’ll make you kneel too!” Mo Huayuan cried and begged from a distance, not daring to come closer. Under the moonlight, mo Xiaochuan’s face contorted in pain, but he forced a smile and said, ” “Huayuan, this is none of your business. It’s not the first time I’ve knelt on iron edge. It’s very comfortable, and it’s also a kind of cultivation.” Mo Wanfeng shook his head. He looked up into the endless night and muttered to himself, ” “Today is the time of the valley rain. That person should be here by now. Why is he still not here?” Mo Xiaochuan’s brows had long been twisted in pain. He asked in confusion, ” “Uncle Wan Feng, what did you say?” when your father was still alive, he had promised someone that they would meet in the city of black iron under the bright moon and sky during the rainy season this year, ” mo Wanfeng said. it’s already time, but why is he still nowhere to be seen? ” Mo Xiaochuan raised his hand and pointed at a huge Osmanthus tree in the courtyard. “Is it that person?” Mo Wanfeng was shocked. He looked up and saw a white shadow flashing on the Osmanthus tree. It was a white figure shuttling under the moonlight, laughing heartily and reciting a poem. “Where is the soul of a hero? harmony does not see old friends. The morning wind blew at the Willow and the moon, and that year, LAN Xue fell into my dreams.” The white-robed figure stepped on the water-like moonlight and stepped out in the air. He blended in with the surrounding environment, like a celestial being in the dark night as he slowly descended. However, his face was filled with desolation as he sighed, ” “I just found out that mo douchen is dead today. I didn’t expect this trip to the city of black iron to be in vain.”
