Chapter Eleven: What an Impressive Illusion Technique

The Feng family, located in Luochuan City, was considered a clan between first and second tier, not particularly powerful.

He only knew that the Mo family had relocated to this area from the distant Qipo District within the last thirty years. As for the reason why, perhaps Mo Cheng knew, but he did not. When they first arrived, their numbers were few. Although they lost many family elites in the process, they were still stronger than most of the local forces. After long-term cultivation, they had managed to establish a foothold here.

During this process, the Feng family had done a great deal for the Mo family. Regardless of their motives, they had extended a helping hand during difficult times, which led to the arrangement of this marriage—the bride being Feng Xiaoxiao, daughter of Feng Chenyi, the head of the Feng family.

No matter the other party’s intentions, this great humiliation had to be avenged; it was the dignity of the Mo family.

The next morning!

With the first light of dawn, Mo Xuan set out for the Feng family to resolve the matter. However, for some unknown reason, Lin Mengyao insisted on going along, claiming, "I heard you’re going to Luochuan City; take me with you."

Mo Xuan was helpless. He hadn’t told anyone about this, so how did she know? He glanced at Lan Bing, and sure enough, the latter nodded knowingly. “I’m not going there for fun. You, young lady, better not stir up trouble.”

“If you don’t bring me, I’ll follow on my own. I’m capable, and I’m not one of you Mo family’s people!”

“Suit yourself! Sigh.” Mo Xuan had no choice but to let it go.

With Lan Bing’s strength, it would be easy for her to come and go from the Feng family, but it certainly wouldn’t be so for him.

Luochuan City, the Feng family!

Outside the main gate, the usual arrangement remained: two guards stood watch, and no one entered or exited. Mo Xuan strode forward. He had been here more than once and was very familiar with the place. Passing through two corridors led straight to the main hall.

Out of some consideration, Mo Xuan decided not to force his way in, leaving the Feng family a shred of dignity.

“Who goes there? No unauthorized persons allowed!”

“The young master of the Mo family, Mo Xuan, requests an audience with the head of the Feng family!”

Mo Xuan was being exceedingly polite, though his current strength could easily have forced entry.

However, the guards knew the Mo family no longer existed and mocked him, “Young master? Ha! If you want to see the head of the family, get in line!”

“I’ll say it again: Mo Xuan, young master of the Mo family, requests an audience with the Feng family head!” Mo Xuan’s gaze suddenly darkened with an ominous intensity, far from the demeanor of a thirteen-year-old. His aura was imposing, causing the guards to feel uneasy.

Yet they remained unmoved. After all, the Mo family was no longer what it once was. No matter how strong he was, he was just a child. Honestly, there was no way he could break in alone. So they sternly warned, “This is no place for you to cause trouble. I advise you to stay put, or else the consequences…”

This guard possessed roughly the strength of a Stage Five Spirit-Seal Realm warrior. Even Mo Xuan could handle him easily, so he merely cast a mild Zero Domain spell, which trapped the two guards, rendering them immobile.

“Wow, such a powerful spell! They can’t move at all!” Lin Mengyao waved her hand in front of the two men, then followed Mo Xuan inside.

“Weren’t you supposed to be hanging out over there? Why did you come along?” Mo Xuan felt on the verge of madness. He had seen her wandering some stalls just a moment ago; how did she manage to catch up so fast?

“I want to! Hehe!” Lin Mengyao didn’t see anything strange and simply tagged along.

Fortunately, they encountered no significant resistance along the way, which was normal. The Feng family’s strength could muster ten warriors at the Earth Soul Realm, which was already impressive. A few could reach the Earth Profound Realm, but those people couldn’t be guarding the entrance all day. Mo Xuan proceeded straight to the main hall.

At this moment, Feng Chenyi, the head of the Feng family, was discussing matters with the elders.

Sensing a different aura, Lan Bing swiftly eliminated the guards outside the main hall with two strikes, throwing them inside. Mo Xuan then walked in directly.

“Impudent!” two elders beside Feng Chenyi shouted, “Boy, don’t be so reckless!”

However, Feng Chenyi remained calm and told the others to step back. Anyone who could force their way here must have at least one Earth Soul Realm warrior nearby, likely a higher-level one at that. “Ah, so it’s Young Master Mo. I wonder what brings you here unannounced.”

“I have come for only one thing!”

“Ah, I see. I admit, we did not consult you about that matter, but you storming into the Feng family today calls for an explanation.”

“So you should manage your people better, especially the gatekeepers.”

Mo Xuan’s words made it clear: it was their subordinate’s fault, not his.

“Haha, as head of the family, I must consider the future of our clan, and my daughter’s future. Even if we did not discuss it with you before, there were reasons for that. I need not explain further!”

“What! Damn it! What place is this? You could have just let it be.”

After these words, one elder lost control and unleashed the power of a Stage Three Earth Soul Realm warrior.

As his energy surged within a meter’s distance, Lan Bing stopped it with one palm, then swiftly counterattacked, severely wounding him to the point of collapse. This stunned everyone. Even the Earth Soul Realm elders were taken down in two moves; any attempt by the others to intervene would be suicide.

Having said this, Mo Xuan turned to leave.

But Feng Xiaoxiao was furious. Having been publicly humiliated by Mo Xuan, she couldn’t bear it. She immediately blocked his path. “Stop! The engagement has been called off. You must retract it, and you are no longer the young master of the Mo family,I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
