Chapter 158: The Mo Clan is Instantly Wiped Out, A Chance Encounter with Nalan Yanran
The middle aged man was utterly miserable. He never imagined that simply hiding in this place would lead to an encounter with this terrifying existence.
His voice didn't come from his mouth it came from a certain wet region instead.
"Mo… Mo… Mo Clan is over there!" The man stretched out a trembling hand, pointing in a certain direction.
"Thank you! Whether you're right or wrong, I'll come find you again later." Wu Tian smiled faintly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Big Fire's massive figure vanished into the night.
The middle aged man's face was bitter.
"Screw this I quit being Vice City Lord!"
"I just got promoted after breaking through to Dou Ling, and now I run into this nightmare?!"
When Wu Tian arrived above the Mo Clan's estate, he observed the massive compound and its guards below.
He couldn't help but be amused
"Damn, this clan is huge!"
Compared to the Xiao Clan, the Mo Clan was on an entirely different level almost like a grandfather to a mere child.
But unfortunately…
They made the mistake of meddling in Snake Tribe territory.
And the price for that mistake… was complete annihilation.
Five Dou Wang leaders surrounded the entire Mo Clan.
One elderly man below shouted anxiously
"Honorable Guardian Elder, I am Mo Cheng, the Grand Elder of the Mo Clan! I humbly ask "
"Leave no one alive."
Wu Tian clasped his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.
BOOM
With just one command, five Dou Wang powerhouses unleashed their full strength and attacked below.
The strongest member of the Mo Clan was Mo Cheng, a mere Dou Ling.
What chance did he have against five coordinated Dou Wang attacks?
Even Hai Bodong, in peak form, wouldn't survive this.
How could these mere ants withstand it?
In an instant, the once mighty Mo Clan was reduced to ruins.
Mo Cheng?
He didn't even finish his sentence before being obliterated into nothingness.
Wu Tian stared at the devastated Mo Clan grounds, his expression unchanged.
"Seems like 'they' didn't show up after all." Wu Tian muttered indifferently.
Qing Lin blinked in surprise, glancing at the ruined Mo Clan before turning her gaze toward Wu Tian.
She didn't say a word.
This was the difference between the strong and the weak.
Weaklings who interfered with the affairs of the strong had to be prepared for instant extermination.
The Mo Clan thought they were untouchable just because they had the Misty Cloud Sect backing them.
But daring to kidnap someone in Snake Tribe territory?
They were beyond foolish.
"Wu Gan?!"
Just as Wu Tian thought his trip to Yan City was ending in a rather uneventful manner, a familiar female voice called out to him.
Wu Tian's expression froze.
"What the hell?!"
"Mo Cheng wasn't hosting a birthday banquet why is she here?"
Looking down, Wu Tian saw a beautiful young woman staring at him with complex emotions in her eyes.
He sighed, shaking his head.
"Here we go again…"
He leapt down from Fire Spirit Serpent's back and landed gracefully before the young woman.
"Miss Nalan, long time no see."
Nalan Yanran gazed at Wu Tian the boy she once knew, now so unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time.
She took a deep breath, slightly bowed her head, and spoke with formality
"Nalan Yanran of the Misty Cloud Sect greets the honorable Guardian Elder of the Snake Tribe."
Wu Tian smirked playfully.
"Nalan Yanran, we're friends, aren't we? No need for formalities."
"I'd much rather you call me Wu Gan."
"This isn't like the you who once insisted I call you 'Yanran.'"
Hearing those words, Nalan Yanran's eyes welled up with emotion.
She was merely the disciple of Misty Cloud Sect's leader.
But he was the one man even her master the mighty Yun Yun constantly spoke about.
Her perfect master, a woman who seemed beyond reach, would frequently mention him with admiration.
How could someone like her ever hope to compare?
Their worlds were too far apart.
And her past arrogance…
Surely, it had left a terrible impression on him.
Perhaps their last parting was already their final goodbye.
"If we were never meant to be… then why can't I forget you?"
"Yanran… doesn't dare."
Nalan Yanran's heart ached, and tears glistened in her eyes.
Wu Tian sighed.
"We've been friends for so long there's no need for such restraint. Why are you here in Yan City?"
Nalan Yanran bit her lip, struggling to hold back tears.
She quickly wiped them away, forcing a smile.
"After learning your true identity, I couldn't focus on my cultivation anymore.
So my master sent me away to clear my mind.
That's when my senior, Mo Li, invited me to visit the Mo Clan.
Uncle Ge Ye came along as well."
"Mo Li…?"
Wu Tian's expression stiffened.
That name sounded familiar.
Wait…
"That guy from back then? The one who accompanied her to the Xiao Clan?"
"…He was from the Mo Clan?"
That was not something he had remembered.
If he was from the Mo Clan, then…
"Oops."
"Guess he's dead now."
"Where are Ge Ye and Mo Li now?" Wu Tian asked.
Nalan Yanran's expression froze tears forming in her eyes again.
"Mo Li took Uncle Ge Ye to drink… I didn't go with them.
I couldn't sleep, so I wandered the streets alone to clear my mind…
That's when I saw you."
Wu Tian suddenly felt awkward.
"Why does everything always come back to me?!"
"This girl is the Young Mistress of the Misty Cloud Sect why is she wandering the streets at night, lost in thought?"
"Three Year Agreement is coming up… is she really about to get publicly humiliated by Xiao Yan?"
"At this rate, she's gonna get wrecked!"
"Sister Yanran, you're so pitiful!"
Qing Lin sighed, standing atop Fire Spirit Serpent's head.
"You're just like me both of us were abandoned by Wu Tian."
"PFFT !"
Wu Tian almost spat out blood.
"Abandoned?! What the hell?!"
"When did I ever abandon anyone?!"
"I have been nothing but devoted to my wife, Queen Medusa!"
"I haven't done anything!"
"…Right?"
"I only see Qing Lin as a little sister!"
"That night… that was just an accident!"
"I know it was an accident! But… if I knew it was going to be an accident… would I still have let it happen?"
"…Of course, I would."
Nalan Yanran turned to Qing Lin, observing the beautiful girl before her.
A girl who could command a Dou Huang level magical beast.
She was stunningly beautiful, just like the Xiao Clan's Xiao Xun'er.
And both of them possessed unimaginable power.
This was what a true 'proud daughter of the heavens' looked like.
Compared to them…
She was nothing but a clown.
For the first time, she understood how Xiao Yan must have felt back then.
Yet even now…
If she could go back in time, she would still have ended the engagement.
And she would still have chosen to pursue Wu Gan.
Because she simply wanted to meet him.
She didn't want to miss the chance to have him in her life.
