This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

"What?!" As they saw Han Qing switch his attack to Mo Yan, yet still showing a calm demeanor, even the Lianyun Triplets couldn’t help but let out a soft cry at that moment.

They knew of Master Mo’s abilities.

And precisely because they understood how extraordinary Master Mo was, even when they discovered that a Golden Core Cultivator was confronting Mo Yan, they remained unflustered and weren’t too worried.

But the Lianyun Triplets had never imagined that Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian, these two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, would be so formidable. They were not inferior to Master Mo in the slightest and, after coordinating their efforts, they instantly decapitated Han Qing.

...

The death of Han Qing was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, causing both Han Yi and Han Bo, the Golden Core Cultivators, to lose all their will to fight instantly.

They couldn’t understand why a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core, in just a blink of an eye, would die at the hands of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

They were even more baffled by how their carefully laid plan had taken such a turn.

The situation had evolved into Han Yi and Han Bo battling alone against the Lianyun Triplets.

There was already a significant gap in their combat power, and under the enhancement of the Combined Attack Formation, the Lianyun Triplets were even more overwhelmingly powerful.

In just a brief moment, they beheaded the two Golden Core Cultivators without any hitch.

Glancing over the corpses of the four Golden Core Cultivators from the Sea God Sect, a look of satisfaction flashed across the faces of the Lianyun Triplets.

"I’ll handle the aftermath; you prepare to move out." Seeing that the cat-and-mouse play had concluded, Mo Yan crumbled the mark that had been attracting the cultivators of the Sea God Sect and said softly.

Lian State nodded and responded, "Then we’ll leave this to Master Mo, and the three of us will take our leave now."

Mo Yan’s gaze became slightly intense. His right hand holding the Spiritual Pearl flashed a faint light, immediately revealing an opening in the boundary of the courtyard.

The Lianyun Triplets, without further words, transformed into Escaping Light and swiftly departed.

"The Lianyun Triplets, seeking revenge for their Sect being destroyed, changed their identities on Jiaolong Island and hid their names for a century." Watching the disappearing figures of the Lianyun Triplets, Mo Yan’s eyes conveyed a peculiar meaning as he spoke to himself, explaining, "The members of the Dragon Slaying Saber, much like the Lianyun Triplets, bear a deep-seated grudge against the Sea God Sect and the Jiaolong Clan, which is why they resolutely embarked on this path of opposition."

"Well, let’s not talk about that now." Mo Yan sighed, then turned to Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian and asked, "Do you want to come with me? It will be convenient to inform you as soon as there is news of the person you are looking for."

Mo Yan was still his usual self, speaking with a smile and without revealing anything unnecessary.

However, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that Mo Yan seemed more sincere than before.

Perhaps it was because he and Zang Xiaojian had just chosen to help out?

Regardless, Lu Qingshan was not averse to further interactions with Mo Yan, so he didn’t refuse Mo Yan’s invitation and agreed, "Okay."

Xin Yue had, according to Mo Yan’s instructions, tidied up the courtyard, and respectfully reported to Mo Yan, "Master Mo, everything is ready."

Mo Yan nodded, "Good, thank you for your hard work. If there are no other issues, you should also move out as soon as possible."

"Understood." Xin Yue replied and quickly turned to leave.

Mo Yan took a look around the courtyard to ensure that there were no oversights, flicked his fingertips, and a small flame fell in a corner of the courtyard, gradually spreading, and the fire quickly grew fiercer.

"We should leave too," Mo Yan whispered. Then, he put away the Spiritual Pearl, and the five-colored radiance completely vanished.

Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian followed Mo Yan and also evacuated the courtyard.

Soon after, flames soared into the sky, engulfing the quiet courtyard located in a secluded corner of Jiaolong City and burning it to ashes, leaving no trace behind.

...

"Here we are." Mo Yan led Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian to a courtyard within Jiaolong City itself, "This is where I live."

The courtyard they faced was modest with only one doorway, appearing much smaller than the previous courtyard. Its only advantage might be its environment, far from the bustling streets, and very tranquil.

Mo Yan stepped forward and tapped lightly on the door.

Could it be that this young-looking Master Mo already had a Dao Companion?

Seeing Mo Yan’s action, Lu Qingshan mused to himself.

The courtyard was not large, so the likelihood of hiring servants or attendants was low, especially since too many people could lead to a complicated situation. Moreover, given Mo Yan’s need for secrecy, it wouldn’t be suitable to have strangers at his residence.

Clearly, anyone who would live with Mo Yan must be exceptionally close to him.

Soon, the gate was opened from the inside.

The door was opened by a woman dressed in a light green silk blouse, approximately thirty years old, with a sharp face and long eyebrows, very beautiful in appearance.

"Mother, I’m back," Mo Yan said, his face breaking into a very gentle smile.

The beautiful woman immediately excited, stepped forward, grasping Mo Yan’s left arm while pouting and complaining, "You haven’t been back for nearly half a month, huh!"

Mo Yan, unusually, showed an embarrassed expression and pointed to Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian behind him, saying, "I’ve brought two friends home." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon this reminder from Mo Yan, the beautiful woman then noticed the outsiders present.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Mo," Lu Qingshan was also taken aback for a moment, as he genuinely didn’t expect the young and beautiful woman before him to be Mo Yan’s mother, but he quickly recovered, giving Mrs. Mo the respects due to an elder.

Zang Xiaojian also followed Lu Qingshan’s lead, greeting the beautiful women with respect.

Mrs. Mo was delighted, welcoming the guests inside while warmly inviting, "Alright, come in and let’s talk first."

...

Inside the living room.

Mrs. Mo carried out tea and pastries from the kitchen, serving the two guests.

"Mother, this is Lu Qingshan," Mo Yan introduced, pointing to Lu Qingshan, then pointing to the little girl who was enjoying the pastries, "This is Zang Xiaojian."

Mrs. Mo looked at Zang Xiaojian with eager, round eyes, asking, "Do you like it?"

Zang Xiaojian, her cheeks puffed up, nodded her little head, mumbling, "Mmm... Delicious..."

Mrs. Mo immediately beamed with pride, "I made these myself!"

Helpless in face of his mother’s character, Mo Yan spread his hands in resignation towards Lu Qingshan.

"Squeak!" The King Rat, who had been hidden in the Spirit Beast Bag all this while, couldn’t resist jumping out and looked eagerly at Mrs. Mo, asking, "Can I have a piece too?"

Mrs. Mo was initially stunned but quickly smiled and said, "Of course you can."

With Mrs. Mo’s permission, King Rat no longer hesitated and quickly joined in the feast.

Mo Yan was quite surprised, "Is this Young Master Lu’s Beast Pet? It’s the first time I’ve seen it."

Lu Qingshan shook his head, "Barely, it has no other skills besides eating, that’s why I never called it out to embarrass us."

"Young Master Lu, what is your opinion of the Sea God Sect?" Mo Yan chatted with Lu Qingshan for a bit, eventually steering the conversation back to the main topic, asking formally.

"With the strength of your Dragon Slaying Saber, wiping out the Sea God Sect doesn’t seem difficult, does it?" Lu Qingshan didn’t directly answer Mo Yan’s question but instead countered.

With just the Lian Yun trio alone, they were more than enough to keep the Sea God Sect busy. According to what Mo Yan said, there were many others like the Lian Yun trio in the Dragon Slaying Saber, clearly showing that, in terms of strength, the Dragon Slaying Saber was at least equal, if not superior, to the Sea God Sect.

Mo Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "I won’t hide it from you, in reality, our Dragon Slaying Saber’s strength far surpasses that of the Sea God Sect."

"However..." Mo Yan’s gaze deepened, "the real problem isn’t with the Sea God Sect itself. Destroying the Sea God Sect isn’t difficult, but as long as the Jiaolong Clan exists, even if we exterminate the Sea God Sect, there will be a second and a third Sea God Sect to emerge."

"Therefore, the aim of our Dragon Slaying Saber, as the name suggests, has always been the Jiaolong Clan!"

Lu Qingshan was silent for a while before answering Mo Yan’s earlier question, "A traitor to one’s kin is no different from beasts."

Mo Yan glanced at his mother.

Mrs. Mo was chatting amiably with Zang Xiaojian about something on the side.

"Young Master Lu, may we step outside for a talk?" Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and asked.
