Li Mo left the restaurant and took a few detours before returning to Bai Xiao's home.
Liu Yan was already waiting at the door.
"Li Mo, you're back. Did they do anything to you?"
Liu Yan examined Li Mo, relieved to see he wasn't hurt.
Li Mo told her everything without holding anything back.
"W-will they find this place? Will we drag down Bai Xiao and his mother?"
Liu Yan spoke out her worries.
This was what worried Li Mo as well.
"It won't take long for the Wen clan to find this place!"
From how Li Mo injured Wen Feng in the restaurant, it was clear the Wen clan had many eyes and ears. Wen Feng's men were knocked out by Li Mo, yet the Wen clan was the first to learn of it.
The Wen clan's influence in Taiping Town was nothing to scoff at.
"Then what should we do?
It's all my fault. If I didn't act on Wen Feng, things wouldn't be so troublesome. "
Liu Yan blamed herself.
"Fool, do you think Wen Feng will stop if you don't do anything?
Rich kids like him are used to being arrogant and despotic. If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't repent.
It seems we can only stay here for a while. Once this matter is over, we'll make our next move. "
Li Mo patted Liu Yan's head to comfort her. He didn't want her to feel guilty.
"En, alright, I'll listen to you!"
…
To Li Mo's surprise, there was no movement from the Wen clan, as if nothing had happened.
Li Mo was happy and quiet, focusing on cultivation. With such rich spiritual qi and Scarlet Sword's mystical Scarlet Space, Li Mo's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. In just a few days, he reached the peak of the primary martial master stage, only a hair's breadth away from the intermediate martial master stage. If he were to face an opponent like Chen Peng now, he wouldn't have such a hard time.
Liu Yan was also a lot more well-behaved, no longer whining about going outside. She helped Bai Xiao take care of her mother, and from time to time, she would show off her skills and cook for everyone.
Bai Xiao's mother was full of praise for Li Mo's good fortune.
…
But the Wen clan's eldest young master was beaten. How could the Wen clan not retaliate? But none of the martial artists who saw Li Mo in action could see through his power. The Wen clan had no choice but to postpone their revenge and investigate Li Mo's background. They feared he was a disciple of some great sect or clan. If so, the Wen clan couldn't afford to offend him.
In a magnificent room in the mansion of the Wen Clan, Wen Zhong looked at Wen Feng, who was missing two front teeth and whose left cheek was a little swollen. Wen Zhong was furious. When had the Wen Clan ever been bullied so miserably in Taiping Town?
"Lai Fu, have you found out who the culprit is that injured my son?"
"Master, I have. This kid is from outside and is now living in the Bai clan in the western part of town. But I have yet to find out his background. He doesn't look like a disciple of some great clan, or else he wouldn't be living in the Bai clan. The Bai clan is no longer what it used to be. Ever since Bai Shaodong's death, the Bai clan has fallen into desolation. I heard that Bai Xiao is a guide for people to make money for his mother's illness!"
Lai Fu had been with Wen Zhong for a long time, working as the Wen clan's steward. He had a belly full of evil tricks, but Wen Zhong trusted him deeply.
"Good. Tomorrow, take some men and bring that kid back. I want to see how many heads he has for daring to hurt my son!"
Wen Zhong's heart was filled with confidence. 'Since he has no background, just wait for the Wen clan's revenge!'
…
The next morning, Li Mo was startled awake by the noise outside.
"What's coming has come!"
Li Mo mocked himself. He thought he taught the Wen clan a lesson and they would restrain themselves. But they still came knocking.
Li Mo walked out of his room and out of the yard.
At this time, the Wen Clan's people had already surrounded the courtyard. The leader was the Wen Clan's housekeeper, Lai Fu. Among the dozen or so strong men he had brought, there was actually an expert with the strength of a Primary Martial Master. The others weren't weak either, they were all Intermediate and Advanced Martial Warriors.
'Seems like they came prepared!'
"Brother Li!"
Bai Xiao, who was blocking them, ran to Li Mo's side.
"Bai Xiao, this is none of your business. Go back and tell your sister Liu not to come out!"
"Brother Li, but they …"
"Listen to me and go in!"
Li Mo's words left no room for doubt. Bai Xiao was of no help here and could only follow him.
"Kid, you've got some guts to come out.
You injured our young master and our master sent us to invite you back for a chat.
Men, take him down! "
Lai Fu waved his hand and the dozen strong warriors swarmed him. They all knew this young man had some skill and took out their magic weapons.
In front of the Bai clan's gate, sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and all sorts of other magic weapons flew at Li Mo!
Lai Fu and the martial master stood to the side, smiling deviously at the scene.
'Aren't you strong?
Aren't you strong?
With so many of us here, even if you have three heads and six arms, you'll still die under the combined attack of these warriors. '
But just as Lai Fu was feeling proud of his tactic, Li Mo's strangeness vanished.
Boom!
Boom!
All the attacks hit the ground in front of the Bai clan's gate, crumbling the dilapidated wall!
Lai Fu rubbed his eyes but couldn't see Li Mo anywhere. He flew into a rage.
"Humph!
If you can escape like this, let's see how the Bai clan's mother and son and that woman escape.
Bring out all the people inside! "
A group of warriors heard the order and rushed into the courtyard.
"Ah!"
A warrior at the front screamed and fell to the ground, a bloody hole in his heart. Li Mo appeared before him, his clenched fist still dripping with blood.
This sudden attack deterred the other experts from advancing. They attacked Li Mo again, but Li Mo's figure vanished again.
Lai Fu no longer believed Li Mo was running away. He called his men to his side, afraid Li Mo would show up out of thin air!
"Kid, don't play tricks. Come out if you can!"
Lai Fu wasn't the only one panicking. Even his men were frightened by Li Mo's methods.
He was too ruthless!
"Didn't you want to capture me?
Come, let's see what your Wen clan is made of. "
Li Mo hid in Scarlet Sword's mysterious space as he mocked them.
Lai Fu and the rest heard Li Mo's drifting voice and lost their arrogance. They formed a circle, watching their surroundings!
"Kid, don't get cocky. Don't think you'll be fine just by hiding. Let's see how long you can last!"
He believed Li Mo cultivated some kind of hidden cultivation method. As long as they were on guard, once Li Mo's qi ran out, he'd be at their mercy.
But Lai Fu never expected Li Mo to have a spatial treasure. Even if he stayed inside for eight to ten years, he wouldn't lose a drop of qi.
