Chapter 5071

“Mo Qingchen?” Kai’s eyes flashed. “Who is he?”

Mo Qingyun sighed. “He’s my cousin. After my uncle and aunt passed away early, my parents raised him.”

“But that guy has no sense of gratitude. Just because I’m a girl, he’s been eyeing my father’s position as head of the family and wants to seize it.”

Kai frowned in thought. People like him—heartless and ungrateful—were simply a waste of life.

“Let’s go. I’ll return to the Mo family with you. If Tianyuan Pavilion dares to pressure me, I’ll wipe them out!”

Kai made up his mind to accompany Mo Qingyun back to her family.

He asked Hu Mazi to remain in the Eighth Palace for now. With Hu Mazi there, even if the palace was attacked, the defensive array could still hold for a while.

After making all the necessary arrangements for the Eighth Palace, Kai set off with Mo Qingyun toward the Mo family.

The Second Heaven was over ten times larger than the First Heaven, and the Mo family’s territory lay tens of thousands of miles from the Eighth Palace.

Fortunately, there were numerous teleportation arrays across the Second Heaven. A few teleportations would be enough to reach their destination. If they traveled on foot, it would easily take ten days to half a month!

Tianyuan Pavilion

In a spacious hall, Elder Tong stood silently. In front of him sat an old man with a white beard, wearing a long flowing robe. A star map was spread out before him.

The old man studied each glowing point on the map. His expression alternated between stern and contemplative.

Elder Tong stood respectfully to the side, not daring to utter a word.

Suddenly, the old man raised his hand and waved over a glowing star—instantly, the light vanished.

But the moment that star disappeared, new stars began to light up elsewhere.

The old man’s brows furrowed deeper at the sight.

Elder Tong remained motionless, barely breathing, his posture bent in deference.

“Kai…” the old man finally spoke, saying the name with weight.

“Yes,” Elder Tong responded with a nod.

“Gan Tianzong?” the old man asked again.

“Yes,” Elder Tong repeated, nodding once more.

“Tell me everything…” the old man said.

Elder Tong then recounted the entire incident in detail, describing each part as vividly as if it were playing out again.

After listening, the old man remained calm. “So, not only did Kai injure you, but he also obtained two coffins?”

“Yes!” Elder Tong nodded.

“Do you know anything about the two warrior statues?”

“No,” Elder Tong replied, shaking his head.

“Then tell me—should we seek revenge on Kai?” the old man finally looked up and asked.

“I’ll follow whatever the Pavilion Master decides,” Elder Tong replied cautiously.

The old man smiled slightly. “Elder Tong, as an elder of Tianyuan Pavilion, you have your own authority. You don’t have to follow my every word.”

“Although you became an elder thanks to your expertise in arrays, the title holds real power—it’s not just ceremonial.”

“Don’t belittle yourself. You should carry the demeanor and decisiveness of a true elder!”

Hearing this, Elder Tong quickly responded, “Thank you for the Pavilion Master’s guidance. I believe Kai should be taught a lesson. Also, the Mo family can’t be let off easily. That girl from the Mo family publicly betrayed Tianci—this is a major humiliation for Tianyuan Pavilion.”

The old man nodded. “And have you spoken to the Mo family?”

“Yes. I warned them to hand over the person, or I wouldn’t be polite,” Elder Tong replied.

“Good. The Mo family should indeed give us an explanation,” the old man said with a nod. Then he added, “As for Kai, I think we should let others handle him. Once news spreads that he possesses a treasure, someone will surely make a move.”

“Didn’t you say people from the Shura Palace were present too? They might take action.”

“Let’s wait and see. If Kai can fight those at higher levels, perhaps he’s even stronger than Tianci. That means he’s no ordinary man—he might be from a powerful family or background.”

“I understand,” Elder Tong nodded.

He now realized that the Pavilion Master was planning to kill with a borrowed knife.
