Chapter 176: Deep Hatred Like a Sea of Blood – Part 1
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Master, aren’t you an incredibly skilled physician? I, Mo Luo Dan, implore you to save me from my injuries. I am willing to be your slave and servant for life, to be your loyal dog, if only you would heal me so that I may seek vengeance against my enemies.” At this moment, Mo Luo Dan had realized that Xu Fan was the true master of his fate and quickly prostrated on the ground, knocking his head repeatedly on the floor before Xu Fan.
Xu Fan looked at the submissive Mo Luo Dan before him, silently contemplating.
Though his strength was formidable, he was but one man; Xu Yixue and Tongtong would both need his protection in the future. Should danger arise and he was unable to attend to it, the trouble would be considerable.
Furthermore, Xu Fan had engaged in a fight with the Chicken Combo on his way up the mountain, burying the two of them on its slopes.
From Mackenzie’s account, Xu Fan knew that the organization behind them would not let this go easily. They would definitely engage the immensely powerful Assassin Alliance to seek trouble with him. Even if he wasn’t afraid of the Assassin Alliance himself, he couldn’t always be there to protect those close to him.
So, Xu Fan needed subordinates; he needed to build a considerable force.
Just like the Assassin Alliance, thousands of assassins pooled their strength; no one could withstand wave after wave of their deployment. This was the terrifying aspect of a force: the ability to possess immense deterrent power.
If Xu Fan also had such a powerful force under his command, even if the Assassin Alliance learned that Xu Fan had killed their members, they would have no choice but to accept it.
Therefore, Xu Fan did not immediately slay Mo Luo Dan. On one hand, he was already at the pinnacle of the Qi Drawing Realm and needed only a bit of guidance to smoothly enter the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. On the other hand, the fire of vengeance in his eyes also moved Xu Fan, reminding him of his own past experiences.
So Xu Fan decided that if possible, he would take Mo Luo Dan into his service as his second underling.
The first was Ben Ben, so he could only condescend to be the second.
With this in mind, Xu Fan slowly revealed an inscrutable smile and said to Mo Luo Dan, “You say you carry a deep-seated hatred. Tell me, what exactly is the nature of this enmity? Remember, do not speak falsehoods. I can tell if you’re lying. Should I hear even a single lie from you, I will break your limbs and throw you at your enemy’s feet so they can take good care of you.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Luo Dan’s face immediately turned stern. Xu Fan’s methods were as formidable as his martial prowess, utterly ruthless. Mo Luo Dan knew he was no match for Xu Fan, so he knelt on the ground and told Xu Fan the whole truth.
“Master, I was originally the prime disciple of the Molihua Sect in the Western Regions, and my teacher was Molihua, the Sect Master of the Molihua Sect. Ten years ago, the three Grand Elders of the Molihua Sect conspired with three other major sects of the Western Regions to ambush my teacher on Mount Kunlun. Despite being at the peak of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, my teacher was outnumbered and injured in the attack. Yet, his martial power was so formidable that he managed to escape from their clutches and return to the Molihua Sect.”
“At that time, being the prime disciple of the Molihua Sect and the supreme disciple of the Sect Master, I was arrogant and looked down on everyone, and my relations with the younger generation of disciples were not too good. The three Grand Elders had long drawn many young disciples to their side, isolating me. When my teacher was injured, I was assigned to carry out a mission in a cave on Mount Kunlun. Regrettably, the fellow disciples who accompanied me were under the sway of the three Grand Elders. They deliberately kept me in the dark and did not inform me of my teacher’s attack.”
“After returning to the sect, my teacher hid in the secret chamber only accessible to the Sect Master. He spent his time healing and devising a way to eliminate the treacherous Grand Elders. Little did he expect that they would outwit him. They secretly ordered my fellow disciples to lure me into drinking, then poisoned the wine. After I was poisoned, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was bound inside the sect, with knives over my head and being taken to the entrance of my teacher’s secret chamber.”
“The secret chamber was protected by powerful prohibitions and formations that even the three Grand Elders dared not to intrude. My teacher intended to heal his wounds and recover his strength inside. Unexpectedly, the Grand Elders brought me to the chamber’s door, threatening him to hand over the Sect’s seal and the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Kasaya, or else they would kill me right in front of his chamber. My teacher always treated me like his own child and couldn’t bear to see the Grand Elders killing me, so to save me, he emerged from the secret chamber.”
“No sooner had my teacher stepped out than the Grand Elders and other lurking experts began their assault. With his life on the line, my teacher used the most powerful Magical Treasure of the sect, the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Kasaya, to forcefully raise his power by one level, reaching an existence above the Grandmaster Realm, the legendary Supreme Level.”
“After raising his power, my teacher, instead of removing the Grand Elders, fought desperately to snatch me, who was controlled by the crowds, and then fled the Molihua Sect with me. However, due to my being a burden, who did not diligently cultivate and whose martial arts power was too weak, I slowed my teacher’s escape. Eventually, an expert inflicted a fatal wound on my teacher in secret.”
“My teacher took me out of the Molihua Sect and handed me the sect’s treasure, the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Kasaya. He transferred the formations from the kasaya to me using his last bit of vital blood, resulting in the twin dragon tattoos on my chest. However, he was so grievously injured and lost too much blood, that he passed away in the final moments of the transfer.”
“Thus, the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon tattoo on my body is not the complete version; it lacks the most crucial dragon eyes. So, when I want to utilize the power of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, I must burn my own vital blood, paying with three years of lifespan in exchange for a brief boost in strength. Nevertheless, it was this ability that allowed me to escape from the high-level experts sent after me by the Molihua Sect. Eventually, I changed my name and fled to the vicinity of Yulong Mountain in Zhonghai, drawn by the abundant spiritual energy in the mountains. Here I have been cultivating for the past ten years, hoping to one day break through to the Grandmaster Realm and return to the Molihua Sect to avenge my teacher’s death.”
Molihua finally recounted his experiences, while Xu Fan listened quietly on the side, his eyes occasionally displaying a nostalgic look.
Molihua’s ordeal bore many similarities to Xu Fan’s own.
Xu Fan too was once the young master of the Xu Family. Xu Fan’s father was also harmed by traitors, and his mother is still trapped in the Shadow Prison of the Xu Family. Xu Fan is still carrying the Xu Family’s grudge.
Therefore, Xu Fan understood Molihua’s feelings very well.
