Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 67 Subduing the Mo Family

"Snapped!"

Mo Linglin glared at Xiao Jue with shame and indignation, covering her buttocks with both hands. Xiao Jue couldn't help but sigh that the suction palm technique was really useful; it was worth learning it from Yao Lao.

"Get out of here. If you stay any longer, you're not leaving."

A pair of golden dragon wings appeared on Xiao Jue's back, scaring the group of people into scattering and fleeing. Mo Linglin, who was being held in his arms, was also stunned. She had just reprimanded a Dou Wang powerhouse!

Xiao Jue said, "Take me to the Mo family."

"Yes." Mo Linglin lowered her head and obediently led Xiao Jue to the Mo family.

After passing through several streets teeming with people, Xiao Jue followed Mo Linglin around Yancheng for almost half a circle before finally arriving at the Mo family residence, located in the city center.

Standing at the end of the street, Xiao Jue looked at the Mo family headquarters, which was so heavily fortified that it resembled a small fortress, and couldn't help but shake his head. The Mo family truly lived up to its reputation as the most powerful family in the eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire. Just this heavily fortified fortress alone must have required an enormous amount of money to build.

On the towering walls, patrols and defenses were set up every few dozen meters. In some gaps, Xiao Jue could vaguely see the sharp blades of arrows gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight.

As Xiao Jue roughly scanned the fortress from above, he sensed that there were at least a dozen lines of unobstructed vision above it. Anyone who tried to enter from the sky would likely be riddled with arrows hidden in the shadows.

Xiao Jue thought to himself, "Even without Mo Cheng, that five-star Dou Ling, the Mo family is still quite strong, not much weaker than the current Xiao family."

At the entrance of the Mo family, a middle-aged man in fine clothes stood waiting. He had been informed that his daughter had spoken rudely to a Dou Wang expert at the city gate.

Upon seeing Mo Linglin and Xiao Jue beside her, the other party stepped forward and said politely, "My lord, I am Mo Lan, the head of the Mo family. My daughter has always been spoiled and has offended you with her rude words. Please forgive her."

"It's alright." Xiao Jue waved his hand gently and said, "The Mo family didn't offend me because of her; it was someone else entirely."

Mo Lan's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "May I ask who from the Mo family has offended you, sir?"

"Mo Cheng." Xiao Jue looked at Mo Lan with a half-smile, wanting to see what his attitude would be.

Mo Lan couldn't help but swallow hard. The Mo family's eldest elder had offended this Dou Wang powerhouse. Considering that so many days had passed and his birthday banquet was next week, and Mo Cheng was currently missing, it was highly likely that he had died at the hands of this person.

Mo Lan cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask where Elder Mo Cheng is now, senior?"

"Naturally, it has gone with the wind."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lan took a deep breath and asked, "My lord, the Mo family will not hold a grudge over this matter. With the dead, all is over. Can this matter be put to rest?"

Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow and said, "Is this how the Mo family treats its guests? Not even a cup of tea."

Mo Lan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The people of the Jia Ma Empire did not like to reason. If the conflict was truly irreconcilable, they would habitually resort to violence instead of speaking politely.

In the surrounding countries, there are rumors that the strongest people in the Gama Empire are the most impolite.

"Please come in, my lord." Mo Lan respectfully ushered Xiao Jue inside, with Mo Linglin following beside him with her head bowed.

Upon arriving at the Mo family's reception room, Mo Lan gave the main seat to Xiao Jue and instructed Mo Linglin to serve Xiao Jue tea.

Xiao Jue didn't really like drinking tea. After rinsing his mouth with tea, he looked at Mo Lan and asked, "I've always heard that the Mo family's Grand Elder bullied the family head. Now that Mo Cheng is dead, shouldn't you be in charge of the Mo family now?"

Mo Lan smiled wryly and said, "Mo Cheng has a very high prestige in the family. Even if he is really dead, he still has a large number of followers. Please speak frankly, sir."

"Very well." Xiao Jue waved his hand and pulled Mo Linglin into his arms. With a flick of his finger, the two jade bottles flew towards Mo Lan.

"Here are two rank-five pills: the Qi Gathering Pill and the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. The former can help you break through to the Dou Ling realm, and the latter can help you break through two stars in the Dou Ling realm, without any side effects."

"I want the Mohists to submit to me, what do you think?"

Xiao Jue held Mo Linglin in his arms, but did not touch her inappropriately. He had been aroused by Queen Medusa and had not had a chance to release his desires. Now that he had met Mo Linglin, it was not unreasonable to give the Mo family some opportunities.

"My lord, Mo Cheng has some connections with the Yunlan Sect, and I'm worried..."

"You don't need to worry about the Yunlan Sect," Xiao Jue waved his hand and said, "You just need to represent the Mo family to submit to me and eliminate Mo Cheng's followers, and I can guarantee that you will become a Dou Wang in the future."

Xiao Jue took out the sixth-grade alchemist badge from his storage ring and threw it to Mo Lan. Mo Lan was slightly taken aback, then quickly got up and came to Xiao Jue.

"Thump!"

"Mo Lan greets his master."

The latest novel is first published here!

He presented the badge to Xiao Jue with both hands. Mo Linglin, who was in Xiao Jue's arms, was stunned. Her father, the head of the family, whose prestige in Yancheng was second only to Mo Chenghe, the city lord, actually knelt before Xiao Jue.

When she saw the badge, Mo Linglin's eyes lit up, and her body gradually weakened as she nestled in Xiao Jue's arms.

……

Mo Linglin was quite beautiful, and with her biased view of Xiao Jue, a Dou Wang powerhouse and a sixth-grade alchemist, she was going to great lengths to please him and make him happy.

As it turned out, Xiao Jue was indeed quite satisfied. Those suitors of Mo Linglin in Yancheng had no idea what Xiao Jue had done.

He stroked Mo Linglin's cheek, took out two jade bottles from his storage ring, and handed them to her. "Inside are two grade two pills, Qi Condensation Pill and three grade three pills, Liquid Condensation Pill. The former can help you break through one star in the Dou Zhe stage, and the latter can help you break through one star in the Dou Shi stage. It can also be used to break through to Dou Shi when you are a nine-star Dou Zhe."

Mo Linglin held the jade bottle Xiao Jue had given her, a look of surprise on her face.

"Go and rest for a few days."

Half an hour later, Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked Mo Linglin's hair with satisfaction, and said, "I need to refine some pills these next few days to speed up your cultivation. Don't let anyone disturb me."

"I understand." Mo Linglin nodded, obediently put on her clothes and went out, walking with a limp.

At the same time, news of Mo Cheng's death spread, claiming that he was killed by a Dou Huang powerhouse in Shimo City. Mo Cheng's birthday banquet was naturally canceled, and many people distanced themselves from the Mo family, fearing that they would be implicated.
