Chapter 253: Search and the Mohist Family’s Ambition
After passing through several crowded streets, Xiao Yan and the others walked around Yancheng for nearly half a circle before gradually arriving at the Mo family located in the center of the city.
Standing at the end of the street, Xiao Yan looked at the Mo family headquarters, which was as tight as a small fortress, and couldn't help but shake his head. The Mo family is indeed the most powerful family in the eastern provinces of the Gama Empire, and this well-defended fortress alone
, I don’t know how much financial resources were invested in its construction.
On the towering wall, at intervals of tens of meters, there were patrol defenses. In some gaps, Xiao Yan could vaguely see the sharp arrow blades flashing with a cold light in the sunlight.
The power of the soul roughly swept across the top of the fortress. Xiao Yan noticed that there were at least a dozen line of sight blockades above the fortress.
Countless arrows will immediately shoot the offender into a hedgehog.
"Tsk, tsk, the defense is quite tight. It seems like it would be a bit troublesome to sneak in without alerting anyone." Hai Bodong said with slight surprise as his eyes swept across the fortress.
"There is indeed some trouble." Xiao Yan nodded slightly. Perhaps because today is Mo Cheng's birthday, the defense force in the fortress has increased several times. Under this almost airtight guard, Xiao Yan
It is really difficult for Yan and Haibodong to sneak in without anyone noticing.
"How about I go get two invitations?" Hai Bodong frowned.
"Haha, with the way we are dressed, we can tell at a glance that we are here with bad intentions. Even if there is an invitation, others will not let us in until they find out our identities." Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile.
His eyes stopped at the extremely lively crowd of people celebrating at the entrance of the Mo family. After a moment, he turned to a remote path, waved to Hai Bodong and said, "Follow me."
The two walked along the trail, and finally walked half a circle around the outside of the Mo family, and finally stopped in a quiet place. Because of the remoteness of the area, there were very few people coming and going. Although there were patrol guards on the walls of the fortress. But compared to
From the outside, the defense here is undoubtedly much weaker.
Standing under the shade of a lush tree, Xiao Yan raised his head and quietly watched the guards on the city wall alternately. After a long time, his toes suddenly stepped on the ground, and his body turned into a black shadow and shot up like lightning.
On the wall of the fortress, his palms were waved rapidly. Green flames shot out from his fingers, quickly and accurately hitting the guards who passed by on patrol.
The blazing temperature of Qinglian's core fire made several guards not even scream, but with a slight muffled sound, they turned into a pile of black ashes.
He glanced at the ashes on the ground indifferently. Xiao Yan waved his sleeves and robe, and a strong wind surged out, sweeping them away.
After Xiao Yan finished cleaning up the scene, Hai Bodong also sneaked up. The two looked at each other, and both quickly jumped off the fortress wall, dodging the almost continuous patrol team, and transformed into
Two shadows shuttled between the shadows of the house.
"How are you going to find it? The Mo family is so big. If there aren't some secret rooms, I'm afraid you won't believe it. If you keep searching like this, when will you find it?" Hai Bo curled up in a shadow.
The aura all over Dong's body was completely restrained at this moment, and with the help of the cover of his black robe, even though it was broad daylight, he still hid himself perfectly. Looking at his skilled appearance, it was obvious that he had done this before.
This kind of thing. He looked around at the densely packed houses around him and said helplessly.
"I have spent some time with Qing Lin, so I am quite familiar with her aura. I will use my soul power to scan the Mo family later. As long as it is not somewhere deep underground, I should be able to detect it," Xiao Yan said thoughtfully.
.
"Although I am not weak in soul power, I am not as good as you alchemists, so I can only leave the search to you," Hai Bodong said.
"Well, just help me pay attention to the surrounding situation." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, closing his eyes slightly, Yao Lao's powerful soul power quickly burst out of the body, and then formed into ripples, facing
It spread rapidly in all directions.
After the soul power spread out, scenes of environmental images flashed rapidly in Xiao Yan's mind, but no trace of Qing Lin was found.
As the soul power spread wider and wider, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. After a while, without any results, he had to collect the spread soul power back, and then carefully
Scan the surrounding environment carefully.
Due to the need to search accurately, the range covered by Xiao Yan's soul power was reduced, so that he had to move his body at any time to enable the soul power to continuously scan other places.
After searching for nearly half an hour, Xiao Yan finally opened his eyes with a gloomy expression.
"Not found?" Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Hai Bodong knew the answer, but still asked out of habit.
"There should be some secret rooms in the Mo family that are difficult to discover. Otherwise, with my precise scanning, there would be no clues." Xiao Yan looked through the cracks in the wall and looked at the heavily armed guards patrolling by outside, frowning.
, the voice was low and authentic.
Haibodong touched his slightly gray beard, glanced at Xiao Yan's face, and said hesitantly: "...Have those guys from the Mo family already obtained what they need, and given that little girl with blue scales..."
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and Xiao Yan took a deep breath. The little girl's timid and pitiful look reappeared in his mind. He grinned and said solemnly: "If that's the case, I don't mind a bloodbath."
The Mo family!"
Looking at Xiao Yan's cold face, Haibodong shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to remain silent and not say any more irritating words.
Xiao Yan leaned against the wall with a gloomy face. Unwilling to be reconciled, he once again used Yao Lao's soul power to search carefully, but what he got was still the result that there was no news.
Looking at Xiao Yan, whose expression became more and more gloomy as the scan progressed, Haibodong shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's just do it. Catch Mo Cheng and beat him half to death. I think he would say
.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a breath and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. After a while, he nodded slightly and said coldly, "Okay, let's just do it."
After saying this, Xiao Yan waved his sleeves and robe lightly, and stepped lightly on the ground with his toes. His figure was like a roc, and he jumped up to the top of the house. His eyes swept around, and then he pressed against the roof, facing the center of the fortress.
The largest hall flashed away, followed by Hai Bodong's figure, like a fallen leaf in the breeze, following closely behind.
Using their speed to the limit, the bodies of Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong almost turned into two blurry black lines. In an instant, they passed a distance of hundreds of meters. Under those houses, the patrolling guards,
Then they could only feel a sudden surge of strange wind. When they raised their heads vigilantly, they could not even detect the ghost figure.
There were several figures sitting in the slightly dimly lit secret room.
"Mo Lin, how are things prepared?" Above the leader, an old man with gray hair and dressed in light gray clothes said in a low voice.
"Great Elder, it has been confirmed that the little girl does have the legendary "green snake and three flower pupils"." A middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"That's good..." After hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and a touch of excitement couldn't help but flash across his face, and he laughed sinisterly: "I didn't expect that our Mo family would be so lucky this time, to be able to meet such an unknown person.
Fully mature green snake with three-flowered pupils."
"Great Elder, are those green snakes and three-flowered pupils really as magical as the legend says?" the middle-aged man from before asked in a low voice.
"Hehe. Maybe it's more than that. Haven't you seen the two-headed giant snake protecting the little girl? That is a fighting spirit-level guardian beast. If it weren't for the green snake with three-flowered pupils, you think she can
How can you drive it with strength that even a fighter doesn't have?" the old man said with a greedy smile.
"As long as we can obtain those eyes and temper them to maturity, who else in the Jiama Empire will dare to compete with us? By then, even Yun Yun, I can compete with her, so why bother?
Relying on the Yunlan Sect? Huh, if we can save the huge tributes we turn over to them every year, our Mo family's development speed may be far faster than this!" The old man slapped the table with his palms and said with a face full of unwillingness.
In response to the old man's angry words, several other people did not dare to interrupt and had no choice but to nod quickly.
"By the way, have the people sent by Shimo City paid off? Have the Desert Iron mercenary group been completely eliminated? They stayed with the little girl for such a long time, and maybe they also discovered her eyes.
Secrets, this kind of thing, must not be spread out, so they must die!" As if he remembered something, the old man suddenly said solemnly.
"Uh... not yet, but with the strength of Mo Ran and the others, it will be soon." One person hesitated for a while and replied.
"Send a message and tell them to hurry up. After clearing out the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, it's best to kill all the Sand Mercenary Group without anyone noticing. We can't leave anything behind." The old man said.
He said coldly.
"yes."
"Hmm..." He nodded slightly, tapped the table with his withered palms, and suddenly said: "Have you found out the details of the two men in black robes that Mo Li reported yesterday?"
"...No, those two people seemed to appear suddenly. We don't have any information about them." The middle-aged man from before said with a bitter smile.
"Try to send someone to pay attention to them. I always feel that something is wrong with those two people... After today's celebration, we will start transplanting the little girl's eyes. I am afraid of long nights and dreams." The old man frowned and said coldly.
"Yes." The middle-aged man responded respectfully, hesitated slightly and said, "Great Elder, Nalan Yanran has also come to Yancheng."
"Well, I know." The old man nodded, and a glimmer of light flashed across his fine old eyes, and said: "Let Mo Li spend more time on Nalan Yanran. If he can form a relationship with her, then with the help of Nalan Yanran,
Lan Family and Yunlan Sect, then the status of our Mo Family can rise rapidly again. By then, the other three major families in the eastern provinces will no longer be able to compete with us."
"From what Mo Li said, Nalan Yanran seems to be quite difficult to control. After staying with a woman like Yun Yun for a long time, she no longer looks like the young girl she was a few years ago."
"To deal with such an arrogant woman, Mo Li's gentle methods are not very effective. If there is a chance, let him use other ideas. As long as he can turn that woman into the daughter-in-law of my Mo family, I will not
Object to what dirty tricks he uses." The old man said with a sinister smile.
Hearing this, several people in the room laughed obscenely. Obviously, as men, they were very aware of the so-called dirty tricks.
"Well, I still need to go out and control the overall situation outside. You should also tell your subordinates to pay more attention today. In addition, send more people to the place where the little girl is detained to strictly investigate. There must be no deviation at this time." The old man said calmly.
The voice commanded.
"Yes!" Several people responded respectfully, then stood up and slowly exited the room.
"Hmph, Yunlan Sect, just wait. Sooner or later, my Mo family will ask you to spit out everything you have eaten!" In the dim room, the old man's distorted face showed a faint ferocity.
