Somewhere inside one of the dimensions, three thousand big worlds are floating like omniverses.
Deep inside one of the big thousand worlds,
There is a continent in one of the universes; it has no kind of magic. There is dou qi, which is the only form of energy. That's why this continent is named as the Dou Qi continent.
Here on the Dou Qi continent, people constantly cultivate it, causing the practice of dou qi to reach its peak.
Since then everyone's life depends on dou qi.
There are ten stages of Dou Qi.
Dou Practitioner, Dou Master, Dou Grandmaster, Dou Spirit, Dou King, Dou Emperor, Dou Ancestor, Dou Venerate, Dou Saint, and Dou Supreme.
Before dou practitioners, everyone is just a dou disciple. Here the powerful rule by their strength.
Dou Qi continent, Jia Ma Empire, Yan City,
Inside a remote courtyard at the edge of the city,
Bang!!!
The main door was kicked open, and a few figures walked inside the courtyard room.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
A middle-aged man asked with a cautious expression on his face after seeing the domineering aura around these figures.
One of the figures with youthful facial features and clean attire walked forward and threw a scroll toward the man and spoke arrogantly.
"Shen Han, hurry up, sign this deed; the Mo Clan wants your shop in Centre Square. Don't worry, we will compensate you well."
Middle-aged man Shen Han was startled, and then his expression changed; he shook his head and rejected resolutely.
"I don't want to sell my shop; it's our ancestral property."
Instantly the lackey behind the boy frowned and scolded angrily, "How dare you defy the Mo clan? Are you tired of living?"
The next moment they fell silent after seeing their young master gesturing at them with his hand, then the young master Mo walked forward toward Shen Han as a playful smile materialized on his face and he spoke.
"Do you want to go against the Mo Clan? I heard your wife gave birth to a boy a few days ago."
Instantly the Shen Han face changed, and he replied angrily, "Leave my family out of this."
Just as he spoke, a beautiful female appeared with a little baby in her arm. "Husband, what happened?"
She asked with a little worried expression while looking at the young master Mo and his lackeys cautiously.
"Nothing, Yue'er, go inside." Shen Han hurriedly spoke as he noticed his wife's arrival.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Han is not listening to us; he doesn't even care about his beautiful wife and little son."
Young Master Mo spoke, looking at her, and a strange luster flashed through his pupil.
After hearing her husband's words, Shen Yue's face changed, and she hurriedly walked back inside. She completely ignored Young Master Mo's gaze.
Shen Han sighed in relief in his heart and then picked the scroll, opened it, and glanced at the compensation amount of ten thousand gold for his shop.
He clenched the scroll tightly while anger burned through his heart. Seeing young master Mo and his lackeys smiling playfully at him, he took a deep breath and signed it with his stamp and handprint, then passed the scroll back.
"Here, take it. I hope young master Mo keeps his promise and leaves my family out of it." He spoke with a little dejected expression and sighed.
Young Master Mo took the scroll; after seeing the stamp and fingerprint, he nodded with a wide smile and patted his shoulder.
"Very well, Brother Han, you have finally got the hang of it; here are your five thousand gold coins."
After speaking, the young master Mo threw the pouch containing gold coins on the ground and left the courtyard domineeringly.
"Wait, there were ten thousand gold coins written as compensation inside the deed." Shen Han stopped them and asked while clenching his fist,
"Hahaha, this guy wants full payment." The lackeys laughed, and one of them glanced at him and mocked, "Be grateful young master is paying you five thousand."
The young master Mo also turned and glanced at him and replied calmly, "It's like this, Brother Han: if you had signed it in the shop when my men approached you before, you would have gotten all ten thousand gold coins. Now I came to your house, so five thousand is deducted as a penalty."
After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.
Bang!!!
"Damn bastards, one day your Mo Clan will pay a huge price."
Shen Han punched the wall and cursed; his pupils turned bloodshot as if feeling suffocated because of anger, but as an ordinary person with seventh-star dou disciple strength, he can't contend with a behemoth like the Mo Clan.
"Husband, have they gone?" Shen Yue once again returned and asked with a timid and worried expression on her face,
Shen Han nodded and replied with a sigh, "I lost our only shop."
She fell silent for a while and then appeared beside him and spoke consolingly, "Don't worry, we can leave this city and settle in another city. We already have enough savings to start a small business in another city."
Shen Han nodded and spoke solemnly, "You are right, prepare everything. We will leave this city and settle in Wu Tan City on the other side. I don't trust these Mo bastards anymore."
In the end anger appeared on his face, recalling their wicked expression, and then he walked toward the room resolutely.
After a while,
Both husband and wife boarded the carriage along with their baby son and left Yan City.
Soon night spread and stars shone in the sky. Some people in dark robes invaded the courtyard. After seeing the whole courtyard is empty and the main door is locked,
They hurriedly walked outside and appeared in front of the young man and informed him, "Young master, that Shen Han disappeared along with his family."
If Shen Han sees them, he will recognize them as the young master of Mo and his lackeys, who forced him to sign the shop transfer deed.
"Ohh, it seems my hunch was right; they really have gold coin savings. Also, his wife was really a beauty. She could fetch a good price in the black market despite having a child. Anyway, they can't get away from me; tomorrow ask all the carriage owners around and find their whereabouts."
The young master Mo was startled, and his brow furrowed as he spoke thoughtfully.
Instantly a wretched expression materialized on his lackey's face, and they assured him, "Don't worry, young master, we will find them."
