Vol.3-Chapter 18 – The Jiuge of Now is not the Jiuge of the Past

After experiencing the suppression from the Xiao family, the people of the Mo family had either died, fled, or defected to the Xiao family. The few remaining people had been dismissed by Mo Longjie.

Xiao Zhan was not shocked by the few figures behind the Mo mansion’s door. Instead, he felt proud and let out a snort. The tables had turned. The Mo family had always suppressed the Xiao family, but now it was the Xiao family’s turn to be in control. It seemed like the phrase “the river flows 30 years to the east, 30 years to the west” was very accurate.

There was a total of seven figures behind the red door, and they walked out to the steps.

The person in the middle was Mo Longjie in a blue robe. His expression was calm, but he gave off a subconscious sense of pressure.

To his left was Mo Longjie’s children, Old Yao, and an old man who had been with the family for a long time. Both old men were at the Foundation Realm. Mo Longjie’s children were only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, nothing to worry about.

Xiao Zhan sneered in his heart. The Mo family only had so few people left. When he saw the young man and woman, he was startled. Were these the two helpers that were reported? They were so young, what could they possibly do? Could Mo Longjie only get these two pieces of trash to help?

“It’s actually you!”

When Xiao Zhan looked past Pei Su Su’s beautiful face, he entered a trance. However, he knew he was here for serious matters, so he quickly recovered. However, when he saw the young man in black, his pupils shrank and he let out a cry.

Although Zhao Jiuge was like a different person, his face hadn’t changed much. Xiao Zhan had also battled Zhao Jiuge, so he naturally had a strong impression of him and was able to recognize him almost immediately.

“That’s right, it\'s me. Surprised?”

Zhao Jiuge smiled and his words were calm. However, if you looked closely you could see that although he was smiling, his gaze was very cold.

If a wolf looks back, there must be a reason. Either to repay a debt or get revenge.

The environment Zhao Jiuge grew up in made him like a lone wolf. Any kindness given to him he would be repaid several fold. Any hatred would be silently remembered, and no matter how much time passed, he would find the right time to get revenge.

The first place he had chosen to go to for his training trip was Dong Yang City. He was going to repay his debt and get revenge. When he heard about what had happened, killing intent erupted from his heart. He had no reason to show any mercy.

“You dared to come back after escaping? What, are you so tired of living that you are handing yourself over?”

Xiao Zhan was shocked at first and then smiled. He was very happy and his eyes were filled with bloodthirst. When the Blue Spirit Grass was taken, he hated Zhao Jiuge the most. Then, during his fight against Zhao Jiuge, he lost. Now he wanted to tear Zhao Jiuge apart.

Hearing Xiao Zhan’s words, everyone\'s gazes moved toward Zhao Jiuge. Old Cu was in a trance for a moment and remembered that youth from back then.

The gentle-looking young man beside Xiao Zhan revealed a faint smile. He didn’t say a word and just observed Zhao Jiuge and Pei Su Su.

“Leader Zheng, behave yourself.”

Zhao Jiuge ignored Xiao Zhan’s words and looked at Old Cu with a playful smile. Then his gaze focused on Zheng Jie, who was wearing a full suit of blood-colored armor.

Zheng Jie’s face was filled with disbelief. He didn’t think Zhao Jiuge had survived and escaped from the Xiao family. Back then, he was ordered by Mo Longjie to lead a group of people to help Zhao Jiuge. However, due to his jealousy, he watched Zhao Jiuge get attacked, and instead of helping, he had left Zhao Jiuge to die.

“You still have guts to come back. Back then, I couldn’t make a move against you, but this time you won’t be able to escape. Since you like the Mo family so much, then you can die with them.”

Even now, Zheng Jie had a vicious and envious gaze in his eyes. In particular, when he saw the beautiful woman next to Zhao Jiuge and Mo Linger, the madness in his eyes became even more intense. Since he couldn’t have it, others couldn’t have it either!

“I’m very curious. What did I do to make you angry enough to do this to me? Also, why did you defect to the Xiao family?”

Zhao Jiuge’s expression didn’t change after hearing Zheng Jie’s words at all. On the contrary, he continued to speak calmly like he was talking to an old friend he hadn’t seen for many years.

The moment Zhao Jiuge asked this question, Zheng Jie’s expression became twisted. He began roaring and his voice became hysterical.

“It’s all that old thing Mo Longjie’s fault. I had worked for the Mo family for years, but the moment you came, you were treated so well. Even Linger liked you so much. I did so much, but no one even looked at me. I talked to that old thing a few times, but he refused to let me be with Linger. He was always critical and harsh with me. Since the Mo family can’t appreciate me, I might as well leave! If I can’t have it, then none of you can have it! All of you, go die!”

Xiao Zhan frowned and secretly cursed that this man is a madman. If it wasn’t necessary, they would have never taken in his traitor. Who knew when he would betray the Xiao family? If he could betray once, he could betray a second time.

However, Zheng Jie still had some strength and the qualities of a leader. However, Xiao Zhan had already made a decision. Once the Mo family was destroyed, there was no need to keep Zheng Jie—he could go die.

“Bullshit!”

Zheng Jie’s words infuriated Mo Longjie. His calm face turned red and his beard trembled with anger.

“Back then, Zhao Jiuge obtained the Blue Spirit Grass for the Mo family, not to mention I like this child. As for why I was always picky and harsh with you, it was because I wanted you to be able to carry the burden in the future. After all, Shouyi\'s character was a bit weak, and I raised you for more than 10 years! If you wanted to pursue Linger, then it was up to you—I wouldn’t force these kinds of things. I remained silent to show I wasn’t against it. However, who would’ve expected you to be greedy and betray those that had cared for you for so long!”

Mo Longjie’s words caused the hysterical Zheng Jie to calm down a bit, but his expression changed constantly. He didn’t expect reality to be like this, but it was too late to regret it now. The Mo family’s destruction was inevitable, and he had seen the foundation of the Xiao family.

Zheng Jie shouted, “No matter what you say, it is pointless. Old thing, you can die today!”

Zheng Jie’s words caused Xiao Zhan to frown even deeper and curse at his idiot. No matter what, Mo Longjie was still a Spirit Core Realm cultivator and was very powerful. Killing him would cause them heavy casualties as well. Wouldn’t it be for the best to not use brute force?

Thinking about this, Xiao Zhang waved his right hand to signal Zheng Jie to shut up. Although the Xiao family had a deep foundation, they were still afraid of Mo Lingjie’s counter-attack by exploding his spirit core.

Xiao Zhan shouted with a gloomy expression, “Mo Longjie, today is when you make the decision. Hand over your daughter, Mo Linger, and your Mo family will live, or else today is when your Mo family is removed from Dong Yang city!”

Hearing this, Mo Linger’s body trembled in fear and her face lost color. She knew exactly what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of the Xiao family. Although her father wouldn’t hand her over, the powerful force that the Xiao family had brought here frightened her.

“Hahah, Old Man Mo, quickly hand over your daughter and that beauty beside you. Otherwise, you know what the result will be. Your old bones won’t be able to withstand a fight.”

Old Cu let out a rampant laugh. His crude voice echoed across the city. Normally, he wouldn’t dare to act so arrogantly before Mo Longjie, but he was now someone from the Xiao family. A dog had to know who his owners were. The Xiao family was not as simple as it looked on the surface. In order to prevent Mo Longjie from going all-out from anger, the Xiao family had come prepared.

The weak-looking young man wearing light blue was still standing beside Xiao Zhang and remained motionless. However, his gaze had already shifted to Pei Su Su, filled with infatuation.

He had not spoken this whole time and now he finally spoke. However, his voice was very low and only Xiao Zhang heard him.

“Give me that woman in green to me and I’ll help your Xiao family deal with Mo Longjie. I don’t want anything else. As for the other one, help yourself.”

Xiao Zhan’s body trembled. He knew how terrifying this seemingly weak young man was. He was even stronger than his nephew, Xiao Yun. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan nodded without any hesitation and felt a little excited. This time, they wouldn’t have to worry about Mo Longjie exploding his core and they could deal with this situation without any accidents. As for this woman, the Xiao family didn’t care.

This elegant and weak-looking young man was called Lei Lei. He was an inner disciple from a first-rate sect, but because he kept harming the female disciples in the sect, he had been expelled. His cultivation was not bad, and he had made his way to Dong Yang City, where he was found by the Xiao family.

Lei Lei was lecherous, and the Xiao family fed his urges. They gave him beauties so that he would stay with the Xiao family so he could help when they needed him. However, there was always a price to ask for his help. He didn’t expect Lei Lei to take the initiative today to deal with Mo Lingjie. Xiao Yun had requested this for a few days, but his price was too great, so it had been a deadlock until today.

“Mo Lingjie, how about it? Hand over your daughter and that woman. You don’t have much time. The Xiao family doesn’t have much patience.”

Xiao Zhan’s body trembled. He hoped that Mo Lingjie would disagree and then he could see how Lei Lei dealt with him. He couldn’t wait for the result.

Mo Lingjie erupted in anger from embarrassment and his spirit force surged. He was ready to die. No matter what, he would not let his daughter be humiliated. He was going to allow the juniors to escape, and he was ready to explode his spirit core.

However, just when Mo Longjie was about to refuse and make a move, Zhao Jiuge immediately interrupted him.

“Uncle Mo, are the people who killed Old Mo here?” Zhao Jiuge asked calmly, his voice containing no emotion. He looked at the lecherous Old Cu, the vicious Zheng Jie, the excited Xiao Zhan, and the slightly mysterious weak-looking young man.

Xiao Zhan shouldn’t have said that. He had touched Zhao Jiuge’s bottom line by having ideas about Su Su.

The people of the Xiao family looked at Zhao Jiuge in shock. They had no idea why Zhao Jiuge would ask this. Only Lei Lei felt some unease in his heart.

Although Mo Longjie didn’t know Zhao Jiuge’s intention, he still quickly replied, “Old Mo was killed by Hei Yinzi, Old Cu, and Zheng Jie.”

Zhao Jiuge’s expression was cold as he said, “You all came yourselves, but don’t think about leaving. I haven’t even come looking for you guys, you all came to me.”

He originally just wanted to kill the people that killed Old Mo, but now there was Xiao Zhan, who had ideas about Su Su. As for the rest of the Xiao family, he didn’t care about them. Once he killed the people he needed to, he would go find Xiao Yi!

After Zhao Jiuge spoke, he released his full spirit force. A powerful pressure spread toward the people of the Xiao family.

Everyone was shocked!
