Mo Qingwu smiled faintly and said, “You want to capture me only to threaten my master. Since that’s the case, you will eventually have to face my master, so why bother worrying?”
In the shadows, a voice chuckled, “That’s natural, but the operations involved are crucial.”
Dong Wushang replied calmly, “It’s not that easy to capture me, Dong Wushang!”
All four of them shared the same premonition.
There was a traitor within the Chu Family.
The identities of Mo Qingwu and the others were no longer a secret. Aside from Dong Wushang and the others, whose secret as ninth rank was still unknown, their other identities had already been exposed.
Moreover, this ambush was orchestrated precisely because of the close connection between the traitor and the Xiao Clan. This point had already crossed everyone’s mind!
However, even so, the traitor’s position within the Chu Family could not be too low; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the information.
But now was not the time to consider these things; the crisis was imminent!
Without even looking at each other, Dong Wushang and Rui Butong had already determined the tasks assigned to their respective sides: Rui Butong would strike, and Dong Wushang would stay behind!
With a long laugh, a figure appeared, hands behind its back, illuminated by the flames!
This person wore black clothing, was tall and slender, his three long beards drifting before his chest, looking quite elegant and detached.
“I am Xiao Wufeng.” The man smiled slightly, “Second Master Dong and Brother Rui are heavenly geniuses, yet only in their twenties, and already at supreme second tier! Compared to you two, I seem rather useless; I have wasted three thousand three hundred years and am only at supreme sixth rank… How embarrassing!”
Dong Wushang said lightly, “Since it has come to this point today, even if you are supreme sixth rank, or even a ninth rank pinnacle supreme, my brother and I will not give up even a little! Old man, do you think just saying you’re supreme sixth rank will scare us?”
Xiao Wufeng’s expression darkened as he carefully examined Dong Wushang, nodding in approval, “Second Master Dong truly has depth!”
Rui Butong laughed heartily, “It’s not that he has depth; it’s that your old strategy is too outdated! So outdated that I dare say you…”
A muffled grunt came from the surroundings.
Clearly, the hidden experts from the Xiao Clan could no longer contain themselves.
“Hmph! What’s with the grunting?” Rui Butong squinted, “What? Have you all been eating and drinking for days? Get down here if you can!”
Figures flickered as more than ten people stepped out of the darkness, all with angry faces!
Rui Butong successfully attracted all the hatred directed toward him amidst the battle. However, he seemed unsatisfied and continued to shout, “Don’t blame me for looking down on you! If you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one with equal cultivation levels!”
One person snorted coldly, “With absolute advantage, do you still want to fight a cornered beast?”
Rui Butong sneered, “You really make me look down on you… The renowned nine great clans, and not one of you dares to face my grandfather one-on-one? Where’s your courage? Has it turned into a needle tip? Why not tear off your own skin and stick it on your backside? Come on, nine great clans, is there a man among you? Where are the men of the Xiao Clan?”
The members of the Xiao Clan trembled with anger.
What this bastard said was truly too damaging…
Rui Butong continued to taunt, “Damn it, so it turns out the nine great clans’ Xiao Clan doesn’t have a single man with any guts, so they want to invite me… But I might be single, yet I have my own considerations… Too many wolves and too little meat… Can I even serve you?”
This remark was extremely vicious.
Mo Lei Er and Mo Qingwu both blushed at what they heard…
Yet the intended effect was immediate!
A thin old man cupped his fists and stepped forward, “Ancestral Patriarch, Xiao Changhe requests to battle! Teach this arrogant fool a lesson!”
