"So, that’s how it is," Xu Zimei squinted his eyes and responded, "You kill me and you’re not afraid that the Mo Family will investigate this matter?"
"We kill you?" Mo Feihai shook his head and replied, "You’re mistaken, it was the pirates who killed you, this has nothing to do with us.
Without evidence, who would know?"
"No wonder you’d choose such a remote location," Xu Zimei looked around at the deserted surroundings and shook his head with a laugh.
"Alright, now that you’re a wise ghost, you should also be ready to die," Mo Feihai’s body surged with Holy Power, and he struck a palm toward Xu Zimei.
"How can you know it wasn’t deliberate on my part?" Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.
With a wave of his hand, Bai Meng’s figure appeared above, and Demonic Qi enveloped the sea area.
"Kill them all; it’ll serve as a reasonable explanation to the Mo Family," Xu Zimei stood up and said indifferently.
Feeling the unstoppable might of Bai Meng above them, Mo Feihai’s face drastically changed, and the other Saint Vein Realm martial artists around him also became alert.
"How, how could you..."
"Surprised, are you?" Xu Zimei shook his head and said, "You might as well die a confused ghost, for I can’t be bothered to explain."
As Xu Zimei’s words fell, the Demonic Qi above had already descended.
The grand Demonic Qi entwined everyone present, including the pirates on the other ship.
No matter how these people resisted, it all seemed feeble and ineffective.
The so-called Saint Vein Realm powerhouses were mere ants in front of Bai Meng.
The sea waves were rolling, and the dark clouds that had been accumulating finally started to drop rain.
"Xu Zimei, if you kill me, the Mo Family won’t let you off!" Mo Feihai bellowed.
"No matter what, Mo Canghai is my elder brother; it’s not your place to lecture me."
"Am I supposed to fear your Mo Family?" Xu Zimei shook his head and said, "Besides, it was you who wanted to kill me first; I’m simply killing in self-defense." 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
The voices of the crowd went from furious roars to pitiful screams, and then gradually silenced.
As the dark fog dissipated, only several bodies remained on the brown deck.
The ship set sail for home once again, with white sails fluttering in the Mad Wind.
Thunder rumbled in the gloomy weather above, the downpour grew heavier, and the originally calm sea surface began to swell.
Amidst the wind and waves, Xu Zimei stood at the forefront of the deck, his hair scattering in the gusts.
Behind him lay a dozen bodies, some from the Mo Family, and some were pirates.
Within Mo Feihai’s Storage Ring, Xu Zimei did not find the item.
He could only return and continue searching.
When the vessel returned to the islet with the wind, the patrolling disciples were shocked senseless by what they saw on board.
Xu Zimei did not conceal the truth and recounted the events as they had happened.
As for how those disciples would report to Mo Canghai, he did not care.
After returning to the islet, Xu Zimei immediately went to Mo Canghai’s room.
After searching the room for a long time, almost turning it upside down, Xu Zimei finally found a secret door on the bookshelf.
Forcibly breaking the secret door, he found only two things inside the wall.
A Storage Ring and a damaged Array Plate.
Inside the Storage Ring were the vast resources Mo Feihai had acquired over the years using the pirates.
And the damaged Array Plate was what Xu Zimei had been looking for.
"Six Elements Indestructible Array Disk."
To be precise, there were eight pieces of the Array Disk, each managed by one of the seven Great Elders and Mo Canghai of the Mo Family.
When the eight Array Plates are combined, they form the complete Six Elements Indestructible Array.
This Array Disk was left by the Taoist Array Great Emperor and was the first Array Disk he condensed after creating this Formation.
For the current Mo Family, this Array Disk was, in fact, no longer essential.
After all, they were already skilled in setting up the Six Elements Indestructible Array, but for Xu Zimei, it was of significant importance.
...
After he put away the Array Plate, he left Mo Feihai’s room.
Seven days later, the Teleportation Array was ready.
Xu Zimei did not stay any longer and directly boarded the formation to head to the Central Continent.
As for who would calm the storm here, that was left to the Mo Family.
It was another rather tedious space journey; after a long period of drifting, Xu Zimei finally arrived at the Central Continent.
...
This place was located in the middle of the four continents, surrounded by the Endless Heaven Sea, and it was the most prosperous and flourishing area of the Yuan Central Continent.
Of course, Xu Zimei did not plan to stay long this time; he would leave after exterminating the Extinct Heaven Sect.
After all, he still had other matters to handle.
The boundless Central Continent was vast and limitless, a place the martial artists from the other four continents had always aspired to reach.
Any ambitious strong figure would want to make a name for themselves in the Central Continent.
It had the largest area, the most Sect Gates, and the most powerful beings.
This was probably the simplest introduction to the Central Continent.
...
Dark Corner City, that was the city Xu Zimei had teleported to.
A place where human nature was obliterated, strength reigned supreme, and darkness prevailed.
In this city, you could shatter all rules, as long as you were strong enough.
Murder, looting, and all sorts of crimes happened in the city every day.
Those who could live here were all individuals guilty of great crimes and evil.
The Mo Family had a small asset here, and their Teleportation Array was set up here.
Actually, it was not just the Mo Family; many Sects from the other four continents had their entry and exit points of the Teleportation Array set up here.
Because in other areas of the Central Continent, each city had its own ruler.
To establish a Teleportation Array, one must gain the approval of the local ruler, a process that was very difficult and costly.
However, in Dark Corner City, it was not so troublesome.
As long as you had absolute strength, no one would stop you from doing anything.
To put it plainly, there was no law here, no rules; everything was driven by the logic of the fist.
The Mo Family belonged to the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect; although they were not very renowned in the Central Continent, few dared to trouble them.
...
After Xu Zimei emerged from the Teleportation Array, he was received by the person in charge of the Mo Family managing this place.
After inquiring briefly, he learned that the Central Continent was divided into four domains.
Dark Corner City was located within the Shenghua domain, and the Extinct Heaven Sect was also located in the Shenghua domain, so Xu Zimei did not have to travel too far.
The Mo Family owned a teahouse here.
Xu Zimei did not linger for long; after leaving the teahouse, he took a walk around Dark Corner City.
"Chaos," was Xu Zimei’s first impression of this place.
Street killings and all sorts of unspeakable acts seemed to be the norm here.
If such things were commonplace even in broad daylight, the situations hidden in the shadows could only be imagined.
When Xu Zimei reached a tavern, he saw a group of young men and women, resplendent in glamorous finery, coming his way.
These youths, seven in total—five men and two women—seemed about the same age as Xu Zimei.
Their youthful complexions indicated that they were not residents of Dark Corner City.
