Chapter 86: Buyi Mountain
On the mountain road at the border of Zhongzhou and Nanzhou, a team of fast horses was galloping at high speed.
It has been five days since Zheng Tao informed Mo Qingkuang that his family was attacked.
Zheng Tao sent Wu Ming, a seventh-rank martial master, to accompany Mo Qingkuang to rescue. There were also dozens of good players from the Imperial College, whose cultivation was generally at the level of Grandmaster and Grandmaster, and they were the backbone of the Imperial College.
"Qingkuang, don't be too anxious. Your father and others have not heard from you yet, but it is not necessarily bad news." Wu Ming looked at Mo Qingkuang, who looked anxious, and comforted him.
For five days, the group did not sleep or rest, and they changed horses but not people at the post station all the way, rushing here day and night.
The journey that originally took twelve days was shortened to five days.
In another hour, they arrived at the place where the Mo family was attacked - Mount Buyi.
Mount Buyi can be regarded as the iconic boundary monument between Zhongzhou and Nanzhou.
This mountain is extremely steep, with steep peaks and rolling mountains on both sides for hundreds of miles, almost a natural dividing line.
However, the mountain is high and the rocks are hard, so it is not easy to dig. Only a narrow passage was dug in the middle for people to walk.
According to intelligence, the Mo family's team was attacked by the Yuanjian Sect here.
Mo Qingkuang's face was as gloomy as water. He was indeed a playboy, but he did have a strong sense of belonging to the family.
Especially his father Mo Shan, who loved him since he was a child and wanted to give him the best things in the world.
Now his life and death are unknown and he is missing. How can he feel at ease?
And Mo Fan, who is hidden in his ring, is also very troubled at this moment.
After hearing Zheng Tao tell Mo Qingkuang the news that the Mo family was attacked, the system immediately issued him a task.
"Destiny of extermination: The Mo family should have been exterminated in the main storyline, but the host's appearance changed the development of this event. However, under the arrangement of the heavenly path, the Mo family once again encountered the crisis of extermination."
"Mission goal: Save the Mo family from extermination."
"Mission reward: Unknown. (The completion of the mission depends on the number of rescued clansmen. Note: If the current head of the Mo family, Mo Shan, dies, the mission will fail directly!)"
"Mission penalty: If the mission fails, the host will sleep for three years."
The purpose of the mission is actually very clear. In the final analysis, as long as the head of the family, Mo Shan, does not die, the mission will not fail.
But since the mission is arranged in this way, Mo Fan is very clear that the danger that Mo Shan will encounter must be more serious than imagined.
The best news is that because of the existence of the mission, Mo Fan has always been able to know that Mo Shan is not actually dead, otherwise the reminder of the failure of the mission would have come long ago.
"Yuan Jianzong! Lin Yang!" Mo Qingkuang's eyes were full of anger and hatred.
The people of Yuan Jianzong attacked the Mo family's team, obviously to retaliate against him, Mo Qingkuang, for defeating Yuan Jianzong's plan in the martial arts examination.
When Mo Qingkuang lost to Lin Yang and his meridians were destroyed, Yuanjian Sect not only did not express anything, but also retracted its previous promise and abandoned Mo Qingkuang.
Later, Mo Qingkuang was reborn from the ashes, defeated Lin Yang in the martial arts examination, defended the dignity of the Tianxuan Empire, and severely slapped the face of Yuanjian Sect.
As the overlord of Nanzhou, how could Yuanjian Sect have suffered such a great humiliation?
After finding out that Mo Qingkuang's family intended to move to Kyoto, they immediately sent people to retaliate.
They had never thought of threatening Mo Qingkuang to return to the embrace of Yuanjian Sect with the lives of their clansmen, but the face of Yuanjian Sect's thousand-year inheritance must be washed with blood!
"Yuanjian Sect! We will fight to the death!" Mo Qingkuang's eyes were like knives, and his heart was filled with hatred!
He waved his hand and whipped the horse under him a few more times. The horse neighed "Lulu" for a long time, and the speed suddenly increased a few points.
It was dark when the horse team arrived at Mount Buyi. They came to a hilltop on the side of Mount Buyi, which is the highest peak after Mount Buyi and a high point where it is easier to observe the surrounding situation.
The area near Mount Buyi has been occupied by the Yuanjian Sect. They are conducting a carpet search, intending to wipe out the entire Mo family.
In the passage under Mount Buyi, tents were set up, and the positions of the tents formed an encirclement, with many baggage carts in the middle.
That was the tool used by the Mo family to transport family supplies. After all, it was a martial emperor family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Although it has fallen to this day, a little bit of its foundation still exists.
Now it has all fallen into the hands of the Yuanjian Sect.
There are many other disciples patrolling in the camp, faintly surrounding the largest tent in the middle.
Although they are all hidden under black robes and black hoods, their martial arts have long been seen through by the masters under Zheng Tao who escaped.
The black robes cover their faces just because they don't want to leave any concrete evidence to the Zhongzhou side.
Attacking the Mo family is a small matter, but attacking the masters of the Imperial Academy is a big matter.
Before the four major sects and the Tianxuan Empire completely break up, the Yuanjian Sect cannot openly challenge the majesty of the empire.
Looking at the camp below, Wu Ming said: "The big tent in the center should be where some of your Mo family's captured clansmen are detained."
"Looking at this situation, your father should not have fallen into their hands. I think we'd better rescue the rest of your clansmen and send them to Zhongzhou. Not far away is Zhennan Pass, where there are troops guarding, and the Yuanjian Sect dare not mess around."
Mo Qingkuang nodded. Mo Fan had already told him that Mo Shan was fine for the time being, which made him feel a little more at ease.
If he sneaked into Buyi Mountain to look for Mo Shan at this moment, once he encountered the people of the Yuanjian Sect, those captured clansmen would immediately become the handles in the hands of the Yuanjian Sect.
At that time, they would definitely have a hard time and be controlled by others everywhere.
Wu Ming was right, he still had to save his clan members first and eliminate the threat of being caught.
"Listen to Master Wu's arrangements." Mo Qingkuang nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to explore the situation in the camp first. You should be careful not to be discovered." Wu Ming nodded, but he didn't see any movement, and his body gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"What a weird technique!" Mo Qingkuang was secretly shocked.
I don’t know what attributes Wu Ming’s martial master cultivates, but it must be related to concealment.
In the past, he followed Zheng Tao like his shadow, almost inseparable.
But if ordinary people don't observe carefully, it would be difficult to even find Wu Ming next to Zheng Tao.
The silent disappearance of the hand just now really calmed Mo Qingkuang.
He asked himself that he was extremely fast and practiced god-level techniques, but even if he reached the realm of martial master, he would not be able to disappear under the eyes of people like Wu Ming.
"There are so many powerful people in the world, but now I am just a humble speck of dust." Mo Qingkuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Fortunately, before Mo Qingkuang could sigh with emotion, Wu Ming's figure suddenly appeared next to Mo Qingkuang like a ghost, almost startling him.
On the other hand, the dozens of other elite Imperial College officials who came with him were no longer surprised by Wu Ming's sudden disappearance and reappearance.
