Hearing this, the black-robed man sized up Miao Yan and the others. His gaze was somewhat inquisitive, and his tone gradually turned cold as he said, âHow is this possible? If he didnât keep it in the auction house, where else could he have kept it? He doesnât know our plans, so how could he possibly carry it with him?â
Miao Yan could hear the hidden meaning in his words. âYou mean we canât steal those treasures!â
The black-robed man laughed coldly. âWho doesnât want top grade elixirs and cultivation techniques? Weâve already agreed beforehand that these things treasures will be split 50-50.â
Miao Yanâs personality was unruly. In addition to being the only disciple of the Miao clan, he could not tolerate anyone disobeying him. At this moment, hearing the black-robed manâs words, he could not care less about anything else.
âIf you have the ability, come and search me! I didnât see how much effort your Lin clan had put in except for a few people whom you have sent to us. In this raid, the Miao clan contributed the greatest. Arenât you asking for too much for a 50/50 split?â.
The black-robed man instantly flew into a rage of humiliation. âYou foul-mouthed child, how dare you be disrespectful to me?!â
Seeing that Lin Moâs treasures had yet to be found, and they were already arguing among themselves, Miao Jianâs brows furrowed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to mediate the situation.
âSecond elder, calm down. My son is young and impetuous. Donât lower yourself to his level.â
So, this black-robed man was the vicious second elder!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Second elder laughed coldly. Considering his cooperative relationship with the Miao clan, he did not say anything in the end.
âThose treasures arenât in the auction house. Perhaps Lin Mo really carried them with him in his spatial ring or jade pendant, not easily shown to others.â
This statement was not without reason. Second elderâs expression became much better. âThen, when you were talking to Lin Mo earlier, did you see any accessories on him?â
Miao Jian shook his head. âI didnât notice that.â
If he had known that Lin Mo was so cautious, he would definitely have investigated him thoroughly.
The second elder was flustered and exasperated. âThen, we havenât wasted our efforts this time!â
His goal was the pile of treasures on Lin Moâs body. If he had the support of those treasures, the second elderâs faction would be able to grow and increase greatly. The future position of the Lin clan head would be within his grasp.
Miao Jian comforted him. âYou canât say that. That brat Lin Mo has gone against us time and time again. This time, he suffered a great loss and was able to vent the hatred in his heart. One can imagine how heâll feel when he sees the scene in the auction house.â
When Miao Yan thought of this, the pride on his face could not be concealed. If he did not have to go back and report to Miao Yan and the others, he would have really wanted to see how regretful and painful Lin Mo was at that time.
However, such an ending was not what the second elder wanted. He did not kill Lin Mo and did not get the treasure.
The second elder said unhappily, âDonât forget what you promised me. You must kill Lin Mo to prevent future trouble.â
âDonât worry. Lin Mo is like a stray dog now. Heâs probably running away with his tail between his legs. Donât tell me heâs going to come knocking on our door.â
The moment he finished speaking, a figure crashed into the main door outside and fell heavily to the ground.
âBang!â
Miao Jian and the others were both shocked and furious. âWhatâs going on?!â
This person was in charge of guarding the main door of the Miao clan. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, âClan head, Lin Mo is right outside the door!â
Miao Yan laughed coldly and stood up from his chair, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glint. âWe were worried that heâd escape, but who wouldâve thought that heâd come knocking on our door? Father, letâs take this great opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop!â
However, Miao Jian was a little hesitant.
Second elder said hesitantly, âLin Mo clearly knew about the tragedy at the auction house, yet he still chose to come to us at this time. If it wasnât for the fact that a reckless person was blinded by hatred, then heâd have a certain degree of confidence.â
It was obvious that he was thinking the same as Miao Jian.
Hearing this, Miao Yan was a little disdainful. âYou guys are thinking too much. No matter how powerful he is alone, how can he deal with the entire Miao clan? I originally thought that he had some brains, but now it seems that heâs just so-so.â
After saying that, he looked at the second elder with a mocking expression, obviously still brooding over the incident just now.
âPreviously, didnât the second elder hate Lin Mo so much that you gritted your teeth? Now that heâs at the door, why donât you dare to make a move?â
After being provoked by Miao Yan, the second elderâs expression turned sullen. If it was in the past, he would definitely not have any qualms about it. However, the current Lin Mo had really changed too much. Moreover, he had sent people to chase after him several times, but they were all killed by Lin Mo, so he had no choice but to be cautious.
Miao Yan wanted to avenge himself, so he urged Miao Jian to make a move.
âFather, weâve endured for so long. Previously, Lin Mo joined forces with the Du clan to harm us so many times that we almost let them step on our heads. Now is the best time to take revenge!â
Hearing this, Miao Jian was also a little shaken. âYanâer is right. No matter how powerful Lin Mo is, heâs only one person. Donât tell me that our Miao clan is afraid of him?â
âLetâs go!â
The second elder watched as the father and son left, his eyes flashing. In the end, he decided to hide in the dark and observe the situation first.
The father, son, and a few other elders of the Miao clan were still in the courtyard. Just as they were about to rush to the main gate, they saw a figure descending from the sky.
Dressed in plain clothes, he had black eyes and looked like an immortal from the heavens. However, the coldness and killing intent in his expression made him look like a devil that had descended on the world and was determined to massacre the entire Miao clan.
The few elders shouted angrily, âLin Mo, how dare you trespass into the Miao clan?!â
Lin Mo looked at them as if they were dead people and said in a cold tone, âAfter seeing that you guys havenât come out for so long, I thought you guys were afraid. You guys are rather cowardly.â
When the members of the Miao clan heard these words, it was as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world. They said mockingly, âWhat a joke. Why would we be afraid of you?â
