"That's right, my grandfather is from the Xuanyuan clan!"
"Ha-ha … the heavens haven't forsaken my Chen clan!
Little Tao, Yuanyuan, we're saved!
Master did have an old friend called Xuanyuan Wudi. I met him a few times! "
"Ah!
Seventh uncle, how come we didn't know? "
Chen Tao asked in confusion, but his previous wariness of Li Mo was gone.
"Silly child, how old were you back then?
We'll talk about it when we're out of here! "
"Oh!"
Chen Tao had absolute faith in seventh uncle. He had been with the Chen clan for a long time, so why would he harm them?
"Little brother, I wonder where your grandfather is right now!"
Seventh uncle might be old, but his mind wasn't muddled at all.
He didn't trust Li Mo just because of a few words. Only when he saw Xuanyuan Wudi would he be at ease.
"Oh, my grandfather is in a tavern in the city. You'll see him soon enough!"
Li Mo wasn't a fool, so how could he not understand the meaning behind his words?
"Good!
Little brother, since you're senior Xuanyuan Wudi's grandson, you must know who Chen Tao is.
Staying here won't do us any good, so we might as well trust you this once. Our lives are in your hands!
Seventh uncle was hesitant at first, but in the end, he chose to trust Li Mo!
And Li Mo wasn't angry at his lack of trust. On the contrary, he understood it well.
Li Mo didn't linger and went straight for the Chen clan's gate!
"Seventh uncle, are we really going to trust him?"
Chen Tao was still hesitant.
"Little Tao, let's not talk about the youth's words.
I've lived for many years and have followed master everywhere. I've seen many people and I know he's not a treacherous man.
Don't worry, he won't harm us! "
He pulled the father and daughter behind Li Mo.
Creak!
Li Mo pushed the gate open from the inside, startling the two soldiers.
But before they could speak, a finger-sized hole appeared where their hearts should've been!
They crashed to the ground, dead as a doornail.
Li Mo's methods startled the Chen clansmen.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen dead people before, but it was impossible for them to kill two Martial Master-level soldiers without making a sound.
Li Mo didn't want to do this either. He wanted to take them into the Xuanyuan Mirror and leave without a trace.
However, considering that the three of them were still suspicious of him, how could they allow him to keep them in the Xuanyuan Mirror? Therefore, he could only choose to kill his way out.
"Ouch!"
When Chen Yuanyuan passed by the door, she accidentally tripped on the threshold.
Chen Tao hurriedly made a shushing gesture, but it was too late.
The sound of shuffling footsteps came from a dark corner of the street.
"Who is it?"
In an instant, several martial masters surrounded Li Mo's group!
"Sigh!
How troublesome! "
Li Mo sighed helplessly and kept his Rhino Finger on him!
Xiu!
Xiu!
Xiu!
Rays of white light shot from Li Mo's finger, hitting the enemy's vitals one after another!
At this moment, the few Martial Master cultivators followed their companions to meet the King of Hell without uttering a single word!
"Ah!
Little brother … "
Seventh uncle thought the two soldiers at the gate were caught off guard and were instantly killed by Li Mo.
However, even though these people were fully prepared, they still couldn't escape the fate of being killed instantly.
This really shocked him to the core!
"Let's go. Now that it's done, let's hurry to grandpa's!"
Li Mo was relaxed as he led the Chen clansmen to the tavern.
For safety's sake, Li Mo spread out his divine sense on the way.
If any danger appeared, he would be able to react in time.
Fortunately, the four didn't run into any trouble until they reached the tavern.
"Uncle Chen, wait for me here!"
Li Mo entered Xuanyuan Wudi's room. He had to explain to Xuanyuan Wudi that his lies backfired on him.
Otherwise, it would be awkward if they met.
Xuanyuan Wudi was overjoyed at Li Mo's narration.
He never thought he'd run into an old friend's descendant. He rushed to the door and welcomed the Chen clansmen.
"Senior Xuanyuan!
I didn't expect it to be you! "
Seventh Uncle knelt on the ground with a thud, and he could no longer control the hot tears in his eyes.
"You're Little Seven?"
Xuanyuan Wudi asked in confusion as he looked at the old man who looked even older than him.
"Yes, senior!
I am Little Seven.
I saw you many times when I followed master! "
After Seventh Uncle finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Chen Tao and Chen Yuanyuan.
"What are you standing around for?
Hurry up and greet senior Xuanyuan! "
Chen Tao and Chen Yuanyuan also knelt before Xuanyuan Wudi.
"Get up!
For so many years, this old man has been inquiring about your whereabouts. I didn't expect to meet you here today.
Heaven has eyes! "
This was the first time Li Mo saw Xuanyuan Wudi in such a state. He didn't want to disturb the four's reunion and went downstairs to get himself a jug of wine.
It was late at night and the tavern was deserted.
There was only Li Mo and a drowsy waiter!
"Hurry!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Search the place! If we let Chen Tao and his family get away, none of us will live! "
Li Mo just raised his wine cup when a group of armed soldiers arrived at the tavern's door.
"Waiter, have you seen these two people before?"
A leading soldier put two portraits of Chen Tao and his son in front of the waiter and said sternly.
At this moment, the waiter was so scared that he was no longer sleepy.
He looked at the portraits and thought of something.
But seeing Li Mo still drinking on the side, his head shook like a rattle drum.
"Sir, I've never seen these two!"
"Did any strangers check into your store today?"
"Sir, our inn welcomes and sees off foreign merchants every day. How can I remember where they are staying?"
The waiter was quite tactful. Li Mo gave him a hundred taels of silver to ask for the Chen clan's address.
When Li Mo came back with the three, he saw it clearly from the hall.
Although the three of them had deliberately covered their faces, the waiter's sharp eyes still noticed that one of the women looked very similar to the portrait.
As for why he didn't tell the soldiers, he must have his own plans.
"Humph!
Remember, if you see the person in the portrait, report to the city lord's manor! "
Seeing that they didn't find anything, the leading soldier didn't waste any more time and hurriedly left with his men!
When he passed Li Mo, he sized him up.
"Bah!
Damn it, what's with the arrogance!
Aren't they just a bunch of lackeys? "
With the soldiers gone, the waiter sat across from Li Mo.
"He-he!
Sir … don't you think we should have a good chat? "
The waiter smiled sinisterly.
"Oh?
What do we have to chat about, waiter? "
Li Mo pretended to be confused, but in his heart he already knew what this person was trying to do.
"He-he!
Dear customer, I think you should stop pretending to be confused. Two of the three people you brought back are the people in the painting just now!
Let's not beat around the bush. Look at your clothes, you must be from a rich family.
As long as you pay me a million silver taels, I will pretend I don't know anything. What do you think? "
