Chapter 479 - 477: Gathering Information
"But..."
Mo Xue had been training here with the two elders for a long time, and no one had ever disturbed their peace. Now, this young man was visiting in the dead of night; nothing good would come of it.
"No buts about it. Are you afraid that your two grandfathers can’t handle that boy?" Mo Kong said with a wry smile.
"Heh, not at all," Mo Xue grinned, seeming to understand the second grandfather’s meaning, and turned to leave.
In a short while, Chen Tianlong had already reached the house. Seeing that there was still light inside, he knew they hadn’t gone to sleep, so he boldly stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The moment the door was knocked, it automatically opened, and three things flew out from inside. What they were, Chen Tianlong couldn’t discern; their speed was simply too fast.
Fortunately, Chen Tianlong’s reflexes were quick enough. He dodged aside in a flash.
"Phew!"
Chen Tianlong was left with lingering fear, never expecting that this Hao family’s back mountain was really full of lurking dangers. On the way here, if it weren’t for his abilities, others might have perished.
"Come in!"
Just as Chen Tianlong was being cautious, an elderly voice called from within the house.
He was first startled, then realized they were calling him.
Hesitating for a moment, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and pushed the door to enter the house. What met his eyes was a barren room, with only a small table, and two elders were sitting cross-legged on either side.
Chen Tianlong quickly scanned the room, noting that these two elders had extraordinary demeanors and were certainly no ordinary people.
"Sorry to disturb you, grandfathers," Chen Tianlong said respectfully, not daring to act rashly before understanding their identities.
"Sit down!"
Mo Kong glanced at Chen Tianlong, noting that he was a youth with a tall, well-built form.
Even without the impact of muscles acquired from fitness, his limbs were graceful, feeling tense yet elastic, with wheat-colored skin, eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars, and a nose like a dangling gall.
The contours of his cheeks seemed chiseled, possessing a distinct aesthetic compared to the office worker-type delicate looks.
Mo Kong and his brother Mo Yun, upon seeing Chen Tianlong, both inhaled deeply, feeling that this person was a good prospect for training.
"No need, my visit this time is not to disturb you two elders, but to inquire about something," Chen Tianlong got straight to the point, assuming these two elders knew he wasn’t here for idle chat given all his previous actions.
"Hmm, what is it? Just speak, we’re listening!"
Mo Kong nodded in agreement, seeing no need to sit down since it was already deep into the night.
"May I ask the two grandfathers, is this Jade Pendant yours?" Chen Tianlong took the jade pendant out of his pocket and asked directly.
Mo Kong didn’t furrow a brow, but suddenly flashed in front of Chen Tianlong, snatching the jade pendant.
"Young man, how did this jade pendant end up in your hands?"
Mo Kong was clearly surprised. This jade pendant was his treasure, always kept in his treasure box and never taken out.
The reason Mo Chou claimed the jade pendant was lost was due to a false message put out by Mo Kong.
After all, this jade pendant held a secret, a monumental secret. To prevent this secret from being discovered too early, he kept it in the treasure box, never taking it out for over a decade.
Now the jade pendant had reappeared, leaving him extremely astonished!
"Hehe, I just want to know if this jade pendant is yours, could you answer me?" Chen Tianlong thought to himself, if this jade pendant truly belonged to the person in front of him, he was quite the performer.
How did it end up in my hands?
Did you accidentally drop it while committing a crime?
"Sorry, I never dropped a jade pendant, as to why it is in your hands, I have no idea. Alright, return the jade pendant to me, young man. You may leave now," Mo Kong, wishing to keep the fact that the jade pendant was in his possession unknown to too many people, hurriedly issued an eviction order.
"Oh? Dismissing me so quickly? Is your guilty conscience pricking at you?" Chen Tianlong said coolly.
This time, he came to get to the bottom of this, not leaving at the elderly’s simple word was not Chen Tianlong’s style.
"Haha, young man, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, it won’t be so easy in a moment" Mo Kong’s smile was wry, causing Chen Tianlong to frown.
These two elders emitted a strange aura, very peculiar.
"Sorry, two elders, I came here to get to the bottom of things. If this jade pendant is indeed yours, then you were part of that event. I just want to know the specifics from back then."
Chen Tianlong became a bit colder; this was his only lead to understanding the truth from back then. If it was cut off, this matter would be impossible to investigate.
He needed to give an explanation to the other seven fellow disciples who died back then.
"Won’t drink a toast, only to drink punishment, and not even considering what place this is. Is it a place for a little brat to make trouble?"
The brother, Mo Yun, finally couldn’t hold back, they were esteemed elders of the Mo Family, and now letting such a youth cause a ruckus here, truly infuriating.
"Hehe, so you commit wrongdoings and then want to evade?" Chen Tianlong looked at these two and thought they weren’t anything good. Just asking a question, if they hadn’t done it, why the tension?
"You... brat, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Mo Yun was clearly angry.
"Oh?"
Chen Tianlong smiled coldly, producing three silver needles in his hand.
Given that these were members of the Hao family, who had no good apples among them, both young and old alike, it was unsurprising.
As soon as Chen Tianlong finished speaking, Mo Yun suddenly lunged forward with a punch towards Chen Tianlong. However, Chen Tianlong, ever-prepared, swiftly dodged with a backward leap, releasing the three silver needles which suddenly dispersed, forming nine needles.
Mo Yun frowned, never imagining that such a youth would have such power.
What kind of technique is this? Why does it feel so familiar?
Hidden Weapons Sect’s ultimate skill, Soul-Stealing Three Needles!
"Boy, who is Yan Nanfei to you?" Mo Yun had experienced this ultimate skill before, and it was an even more powerful technique. He didn’t know who this boy was, yet he could use this ultimate skill.
"Why should I tell you?"
Chen Tianlong paid no attention to Mo Yun; after all, there were many of that generation who knew Master Yan Nanfei. He didn’t need to explain to everyone, first fight then talk.
"Hmph, you’re too arrogant, young man. Don’t think these trivial needles can defeat me; you’re still far too off compared to Yan Nanfei."
Mo Yun’s words weren’t false. Chen Tianlong’s Soul-Stealing Three Needles could only reach the second layer, while Yan Nanfei at a casual release would be the third layer, Soul-Stealing to the third power.
That’s twenty-seven needles, just imagine the power.
The moment the words finished, Mo Yun vanished.
Chen Tianlong knew that someone who could easily dodge the Soul-Stealing Nine Needles was no ordinary figure; now, standing before him, yet disappearing in the blink of an eye, his speed was evidently at the pinnacle.
