Chapter 489 - 487: The Best Plan Is to Flee
"Stop messing around, give me your life!" Profound Celestial was already furious, there’s no time to chat with Chen Tianlong, so he immediately got to the point and threw a punch.
Earlier, Chen Tianlong’s punch had already used up all the Powerful Qi he absorbed, so now facing Profound Celestial, he was somewhat concerned.
So Chen Tianlong used a Ghost Shadow Flash to dodge, avoiding a direct confrontation.
"Damn, you actually dodged, do you dare to fight me?" Profound Celestial was frustrated, he wanted to fight quickly, but Chen Tianlong wouldn’t stand his ground.
"Not now, I’m tired from the last fight, and I need to ask the two seniors some questions, I don’t have time to fight you, let’s do it another day." Chen Tianlong said and slipped away.
Seeing this, Profound Celestial was furious. He was seriously fighting, but this guy treated it like a casual duel, fighting at will, and fleeing when not interested. What, you think I’m a meat vendor?
"Young Master Mo, let’s pursue!"
Seeing this, Profound Celestial hurriedly said to Mo Shaoyun.
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Mo Shaoyun was just tagging along; when the experts called to chase, he simply followed behind. He was just watching the show, flattering if possible, and slipping away when it wasn’t.
Profound Celestial chased Chen Tianlong all the way, and Chen Tianlong was too lazy to waste time. That guy’s strength was even stronger than before; if they really fought, it could lead to both getting hurt.
And more importantly, after mutual injury?
This was the Mo Family courtyard, wouldn’t it benefit Mo Shaoyun then, like a fisherman gains the advantage?
After several Ghost Shadow Flashes, Chen Tianlong arrived early at the house of the two seniors Mo Kong and Mo Yun. This time, Chen Tianlong was here to steal, not to visit, so he sneaked through the window.
This was the Mo family’s place for the grandfathers’ training, Mo Shaoyun stopped tracking after a while.
"Brother Xuan Jing, we can’t go forward anymore." Mo Shaoyun conveyed to the close-by Profound Celestial.
"Why not? That guy has already run over there." Profound Celestial was puzzled, it was his first time at the Mo Family, unaware of their secrets.
"It’s complicated; this is the training ground of my second and third grandfathers, they prefer solitude, even my dad doesn’t easily come here. I’m afraid of disturbing them and being blamed." Mo Shaoyun spoke the truth.
"Ah..."
Profound Celestial sighed, feeling very frustrated. Mo Family has so many rules, just when he was about to catch Chen Tianlong, he had to give up.
Then his junior brother Xuan Jing’s injury would be in vain?
"Here’s the plan: you stay here and don’t move recklessly. I’ll go ask my dad, if he agrees, we can bring more people to surround Chen Tianlong together." Mo Shaoyun thought and said.
Upon hearing this, Profound Celestial pondered and agreed.
After all, this was Mo Family territory, and this time he came with a mission, he still needed to go to Tianshu Manor. If he offends the Mo Family, it might be hard to backtrack.
Master Zhou Bin mentioned the Mo family has a few hidden masters, could it be these two seniors?
Thinking about it, Profound Celestial suddenly remembered, inhaled sharply, and said, "Alright, I’ll stay guard here, you hurry up!"
"Got it!"
This time, Mo Shaoyun was decisive, nodded, then turned and sprinted toward the big courtyard.
Inside the back mountain house.
After sneaking in, the house had two stories, eight rooms in total. Having seen Mo Kong take the treasure chest upstairs before, he headed to the second floor.
The second floor rooms were interconnected, so with just one door, Chen Tianlong could freely traverse and search all the rooms.
He found it strange that there was no movement in the rooms; logically, it was already afternoon, no one would still be sleeping, right?
Yet from the first to second floor, he didn’t see anyone, it was extremely quiet, deathly silent.
After a good search, in the last room he found a bed, this was certainly a bedroom.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong noticed shoes under the bed, with socks placed next to them. Such a scene indicated someone might be on the bed.
What the hell!
Was this old guy really asleep still? Geez, the sun is almost down, and he’s still sleeping.
To verify, Chen Tianlong stepped forward carefully, eyes alertly scanning all around. These old timers were too powerful and eerie, who knows what trick they might have, if he fell into their trap, he’d be doomed.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a noise under Chen Tianlong’s feet. He quickly glanced down and was dumbfounded.
A wooden box lay on the ground, and it was open, revealing a piece of cloth. But that’s not the key; wasn’t this wooden box the treasure chest Mo Kong took out that day?
Holding the Jade Pendant, now it’s on the ground?
Chen Tianlong glanced around, saw nothing suspicious, hurriedly squatted down, gently opened the chest, but inside there was nothing but a piece of pink cloth.
"Damn, where’s the Jade Pendant?" Chen Tianlong came to verify the Jade Pendant; now it’s missing, what’s the point, this was a wasted trip.
He suddenly thought, maybe someone knew about the Jade Pendant’s issue and took it away beforehand?
Considering this, Chen Tianlong quickly stood up and moved towards the bed.
This was an old-style wooden bed, likely not changed due to the old man’s sentimentality, covered with a mosquito net, making it hard to see inside from the outside.
So, Chen Tianlong stepped inside, quietly lifted the mosquito net.
At this moment, what he saw inside made him frown.
It was indeed Mo Kong!
But Mo Kong remained motionless, as such a master, how could he not sense someone entering after such a long time, unless he was pretending to sleep.
To verify, Chen Tianlong’s hand had three silver needles, he purposely tossed them at Mo Kong lying there, but found he still didn’t move, the needles lined up neatly on Mo Kong’s abdomen.
What the hell!
There’s definitely something wrong, something went wrong.
Chen Tianlong was shocked, immediately checked for breath, and collapsed on the ground, this... the senior was actually dead.
What the hell, what’s going on?
In shock, Chen Tianlong’s brain raced, this scene was too eerie. He suspected he was caught in an Array, pinched himself hard, it hurt intensely.
"Did someone discover the Jade Pendant’s secret and kill Mo Kong senior?" Chen Tianlong muttered, identifying the issue.
Recalling the scene when Mo Kong took out the Jade Pendant, he hadn’t touched it for years, always hidden. As soon as it appeared, he died.
This indicated a problem; not the lack of movement of the Jade Pendant, but its intrinsic value.
