The smoke of gunpowder floated like a blood-colored ribbon, floating above Maolin City, forming a rare wonder.

Mo Yun leaned against the wall, tapped his head with his fingers, and then coughed twice, feeling a burst of pain in his abdomen as he coughed.

He was standing at the junction of the inner city and the outer city, in the center of the street, watching survivors walk out of the house, some with tears on their faces, while others still had fear and astonishment on their faces of witnessing the death of their loved ones.

The Chengwei Mansion not far away has disappeared and turned into a piece of rubble.

I don’t know what method Jiang Xunqing used to really erase the city lord’s mansion from Maolin City. Even the city lord who was originally Guiyi Realm could not find the body.

All the other city guards were killed and none survived.

While waiting, Mo Yun thought of more details that he had overlooked before.

For example, when did Yang Huayuan come to Maolin City, and at what time did he discover the ceremony?

As he said, did it arrive after the ceremony was just established?

Or is it possible that he was hiding in the dark and watching the city lord’s mansion be destroyed by Jiang Xun?

Watching the ordinary people in Maolin City be massacred one after another?

Mo Yun didn't continue thinking about it. In the future, it would be a field that he could reach.

The conflict between the four sects and the imperial court was a greater level of conflict, and he was not qualified to intervene at this level.

Suddenly, he felt a light pat on his shoulder.

Turning around and looking, Yang Huayuan with a calm expression was standing behind him, not sure how long he had been standing.

"Senior Brother Yang, I remember something very important."

Mo Yun felt aroused in his heart and said.

"What's up?"

"Before, Li Wuqing mentioned that the ritual here is only part of the overall plan of the Ghost Cult, and it seems to be doomed to fail..."

"I know." Yang Huayuan smiled.

"You know?"

Mo Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that when Li Wuqing was talking, Yang Huayuan was standing next to him, and was actually present.

"The purpose of the Ghost Sect is not for blood sacrifice, but for killing people." Yang Huayuan said lightly.

"Murder?" Mo Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, kill people." Yang Huayuan looked at him, "Kill geniuses like you, kill the best among the disciples of the sect, and kill ordinary people."

"this……"

Mo Yun had thought of many possibilities, but the only thing he had never thought of such an answer was stunned.

"Think about it, what's special about this world?" Yang Huayuan asked.

"Special?" Mo Yun paused, "Is this our base world?"

"Yes, my companions from different time and space gather in this world and work hard for the same goal. This can be said to be our second home." Yang Huayuan smiled, "It is also where hope is."

"Hope..." Mo Yun repeated.

"Yes, you probably discovered it too." Yang Huayuan smiled, "This world is unique. It is vast and huge, with extremely high concentration of true energy, and the upper limit of practitioners is also very high."

"Up limit, can you say..."

"After completing this mission, you can know some things. Why don't you let me tell you in advance." Yang Huayuan said calmly, "In fact, all of our investigators have a common enemy no matter what level. This survival game is not only ours, but also the whole human beings."

"All humans?"

Mo Yun stood there in a daze.

It was hard for him to imagine that at what level the existence would be the enemy of all mankind.

"The specific situation is very complicated. Even I only know a little bit. I can't tell you that at present you only need to know this."

"What does this have to do with the Ghost Cult killing?"

Mo Yun guided the topic to the beginning, and he was thinking while asking questions.

Since the purpose of the Ghost Cult is not a blood sacrifice or other things, it is to kill geniuses...

This means that the most precious resource in this world is genius!

"You're right, their goal is us."

Yang Huayuan seemed to see through Mo Yun's heart and said with a smile.

us?

Is there a conflict between the investigator and the Ghost Cult?

Or, there is a contradiction between them!

Mo Yun's heart was shocked.

Perhaps behind this is the battle between gods!

Yang Huayuan’s words are hinting at this point!

"Okay, you only need to understand these things briefly. With your current strength, you are not qualified to be someone else's target." Yang Huayuan smiled, suddenly looked into the distance, and said leisurely:

"I'm leaving after this mission."

"Where to go?" Mo Yun asked subconsciously.

"Southern." Yang Huayuan said, "In Fengxue County, I can no longer find a stronger opponent, so I can only go to the south."

"Senior brother is pursuing the limit?" Mo Yun asked curiously.

"yes."

Yang Huayuan glanced at Mo Yun, "I kindly remind you not to rush to advance. First, polish your basic abilities and reach the limit in all aspects. The better the foundation in front, the wider the road ahead, and you should be able to understand this principle."

"Thank you for your reminder, senior brother."

Mo Yun lowered his head and bowed his hand. When he looked up again, there was no sign in front of him.

At some point, Yang Huayuan had left, as if he had never appeared.

There is no shadow when you come and no trace when you go. This is the style of a master!

Mo Yun thought with a little enviousness.

"Young Master, are you okay?" A voice suddenly came.

He raised his head and found a strong middle-aged man with half naked body walking towards him, with a striking blue dragon tattoo on his chest.

"Ma Chengtian? Are you still alive?" Mo Yun was stunned.

He immediately recognized the leader of the Qinglong Gang.

For some reason, when he saw an acquaintance, he felt a little relieved.

At least there are still my own acquaintances alive.

"Yes, I'm hiding under a well in the inner city."

Ma Chengtian touched his head and said ashamed.

"I see."

Mo Yun nodded, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that Mo Yun didn't say anything, Ma Chengtian didn't dare to mess with him casually.

After a moment of silence, Mo Yun suddenly spoke:

"Ma Chengtian, are you willing to come to the Mo family to do things?"

"What?" Ma Chengtian was stunned for a moment, and then bowed, "I am willing!"

This is the road to heaven!

Compared to being a gangster in the city, being a thug for a big family, and doing things for the Mo family is a dream job for all warriors!

Not only is he stable in his work, he has no worries about food and clothing, but he also has a very high status in the city. For him, this is like a paradise life!

"When you come to the Mo family, you have to abide by the rules. All the habits in the gangs in the past must be changed. Do you have this determination?" Mo Yun asked.

"Yes!" Ma Chengtian raised his head, his face full of determination.

"Okay." Mo Yun nodded, "You will be the captain of the Mo family's guards in the future."

"Thank you!"

"Call your alive brothers to collect the Mo family who are still alive in the city, take the bodies of the Mo family back to the Mo family, and call the people in the city to bury the corpses on the streets." Mo Yun ordered a little tiredly.

Yang Huayuan shook his hand and left the mess to him.

Now he is the only one in the city who has strength and prestige.

He must take on this responsibility.

Whether it is for the dead Mo family or the innocent people who died in Maolin City, he has this responsibility and obligation!
