"Clan extermination?" Xu Zii slightly furrowed his brow.
"Their original idea was to raise us like livestock," Yao Shengnan said through gritted teeth.
"But how could we, the people of Heaven Clan, bend to their will?
Even if it ant fighting to our last breath, we would never surrender."
"So your clan was exterminated?" Xu Zii shook his head and said.
"After all, your clan was a great one, yet it was wiped out so easily by an Imperial Rule Immortal Sect."
"Our Heaven Clan has always lived in isolation, not involving ourselves in worldly strife," Yao Shengnan said calmly.
"The Extinct Heaven Sect, under the leadership of two generations of Great Emperors, has grown strong among the Imperial Rule Immortal Sects.
They have long been beyond our ability to fight against."
At this mont, Xiao Guizi beside them slowly regained consciousness.
His injuries had mostly healed, but his body was still sowhat weak.
"Senior Brother," Xiao Guizi quickly greeted him.
"It’s alright, you should recuperate here in Maple Leaf City for a while and let Yao Shengnan take care of you," Xu Zii said with narrowed eyes, speaking indifferently.
"I’m going to take a look at the Extinct Heaven Sect."
"What about those Extinct Heaven Sect disciples from before?" Yao Shengnan asked curiously.
"Don’t worry, they won’t be coming back," Xu Zii replied.
...
Xu Zii rested in Maple Leaf City for the night and left early the next morning.
He headed west towards Ten Thousand Arrays City.
As the headquarters of the Mo Family, Ten Thousand Arrays City was quite famous in the central region of the Eastern Continent.
The Extinct Heaven Sect was located above the Central Continent.
There were only two ways for Xu Zii to reach the Central Continent: one was to cross the Endless Heaven Sea.
This route was long and ti-consuming, and fraught with danger all the way.
The other was through a Teleportation Array, directly transporting to the Central Continent.
This thod, although quick, required that Teleportation Arrays could not be so casually accessed.
And considering the distance from the Eastern Continent to the Central Continent, each activation of the array would consu a vast amount of resources.
On the Eastern Continent, the Teleportation Array that could reach the farthest distance and cover the largest area naturally belonged to the Array Family of the Mo Household.
...…
From a distance, Ten Thousand Arrays City’s architectural style was nothing special.
However, if one looked down from above, they would find that the entire city was connected by several arrays.
A moat ran underneath half of the city, its water glistening and exceedingly clear.
Xu Zii entered the city.
The city was divided into inner and outer sections.
At this mont, Ten Thousand Arrays City was particularly bustling, with an open space next to the moat.
Many people within the city were gathered around this place, seemingly watching sothing.
Xu Zii stood on the outskirts and looked for a few monts, noticing that there seed to be so form of competition taking place.
He randomly approached soone to ask about it.
"You’re a visitor, aren’t you?" the person next to him looked at Xu Zii and smiled, "This grand array contest is a tradition of Ten Thousand Arrays City.
It’s held every six months and is initiated by the Mo Family.
The top three winners of the contest will receive generous rewards.
As for the first-place winner, they will have the opportunity to directly join the Mo Family and beco one of its disciples."
"Really?" Xu Zii smiled.
"You’ve arrived a bit late; the competition has ended, and the top three have already been determined," the man said.
"The one who won first place is a youth nad Wang Chen.
He joined the Mo Family and was given the surna Mo Chen. It seems he’s about to soar to great heights."
"Mo Chen?" Xu Zii was startled and focused her gaze on the situation in the center of the arena.
She saw a youth wearing white clothing with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, standing at the very front.
Although his clothes were sowhat worn, they were washed very clean.
He stood tall and straight, his bright eyes full of spirit, and the loose strands of hair on his face gently fluttered with the breeze.
"It really is him," Xu Zii murmured softly.
This youth nad Mo Chen did indeed have a distinguished reputation in his previous life.
As an outsider joining the Mo Family, he had blazed through all obstacles and beca the most dazzling genius of the entire family at the ti.
At that ti, the Mo Family’s direct lineage also had a genius nad Mo Yang.
He was the current Saint Heir of the Mo Family, and his physique was also one of the legendary Hundred Great Battle Bodies.
Ordinary Array Masters needed to gather Array Seals or prepare Array Plates in advance to set up a formation.
But Mo Yang did not need to do this, as his Battle Body could automatically gather Array Seals for him.
He could even achieve a formation with a single glance, creating a spectacle of myriad arrays within the seas.
At that ti, he was regarded as the disciple of the Mo Family most likely to carry on the Destiny.
However, with the arrival of Mo Chen, everything slowly changed.
Mo Chen didn’t possess any particularly great innate talent, but he had a fierce determination in his bones.
For the sake of power, he once used his own body as an Array Plate and inscribed formations upon it.
He took the Six Elents Indestructible Array as his core, with many auxiliary minor formations supporting it.
Every part of his body bore the mark of formations.
Leaving aside whether this was useful or not, just the pain involved in this process was unbearable for ordinary people.
In the Mo Family at that ti, his fa shone so brightly that he even surpassed Mo Yang, who possessed the Battle Body.
......
At this mont, in the midst of a sea of people at the center of the arena, many looked on with envy as Mo Chen joined the Mo Family.
"Brother," at that mont, a little girl in a yellow dress scurried out from the crowd and ran towards Mo Chen.
"Ling’er," seeing the little girl, Mo Chen’s face broke into a smile, and he was just about to go over and pick her up.
Suddenly, the scene beca chaotic as several figures in blood-red appeared in the center of the arena.
The blood-colored longswords were brandished in mid-air, and the shadows of the swords flickered like overlapping mountains.
By the ti everyone ca back to their senses, the little girl was already lying in a pool of blood.
"Sister," Mo Chen’s face twisted into a ferocious roar, and as he tried to rush over, the people of the Mo Family beside him blocked him.
......
"Who is this, daring to kill on the Mo Family’s territory," the onlooking crowd exclaid in shock.
"Didn’t you see the robes they’re wearing? They’re from the Blood Nether Holy Sect," soone whispered.
At the center of the arena at that mont, a dozen or so people dressed in blood-colored robes stood there.
They looked at Mo Chen indifferently, and the person leading them spoke harshly, "Bastard, won’t you co and welco death?"
"Are you all declaring war on our Mo Family?" Elder Mo stepped forward and frowned as he asked.
"Elder Mo misunderstood," the leader quickly said: "We’re simply pursuing a fugitive from our sect."
"A fugitive?" Elder Mo turned to look at Mo Chen, confused, and asked, "What’s going on?"
"His parents violated the sect’s rules, and we are under orders to bring him back," the man in the blood robe said indifferently: "If there’s any resistance, we won’t hesitate to execute them on the spot."
When the man in the blood robe said this, his tone carried an intense killing intent.
"It’s clearly you who colluded with the elders to kill my parents, and now you’re slandering them," Mo Chen said angrily.
