Chapter 376: The Jin Family Bows Down

The person calling out did not show themselves, but just the sound alone created a terrifying feeling that echoed like thunder.

Even though Fang Lie was strong, he was nearly shaken into a daze by that voice.

Anyone who could speak with such a thunderous resonance was definitely a super expert, likely at least a Thunder Tribulation Immortal!

Fang Lie was no stranger to such matters, and he certainly knew the identity of the person. Despite this, he did not hesitate for a moment; instead, he furrowed his brow, gathered all his strength, and directed the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light to accelerate towards the golden treasure ship.

After a brief moment, the treasure ship was completely destroyed, scattering across the ground, and the Elder was erased by the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light, turning into a pile of mush!

Just as Fang Lie killed him, a horrifying presence descended, surrounding Fang Lie completely.

At the same time, an old man in golden robes appeared, his face filled with indignation as he shouted at Fang Lie, "Fang Lie, I demand that you stop! Can’t you hear me?"

The newcomer was none other than the Head of the Jin Family, a respected Thunder Tribulation Immortal. He had witnessed his own kin being tortured by Fang Lie but was too far away to intervene in time, so he could only shout to try and stop it.

He thought that no matter how bold Fang Lie was, he wouldn’t dare kill in front of a Thunder Tribulation Immortal.

But unexpectedly, Fang Lie, known for being reckless, completely disregarded him and killed his kin right in front of his eyes!

This was as if he were openly slapping the Jin Family’s face! The Head of the Jin Family was furious, feeling utterly disrespected.

However, the stubborn old man hesitated to fully unleash his power against Fang Lie due to his status. Although he was filled with murder and rage, surrounded by a terrifying aura, he could only intimidate Fang Lie but did not dare to advance!

Otherwise, given the difference in their combat power, the head of the Jin Family could easily crush Fang Lie just with his presence!

But even so, being stared at by such a terrifying expert was extremely frightening, something ordinary people couldn’t withstand.

Only Fang Lie remained unfazed; not only was he unafraid, but he also sneered and said dismissively, "What are you? You dare order me to stop? I currently wield the Benevolence Token and the authority of the Token Lord. Do you think you can compare to the Benevolence Token?"

The Head of the Jin Family was momentarily rendered speechless, his face flushed!

The Benevolence Token was the highest authority among the five tokens of the Mo Sect, and no one or anything could surpass it.

With it in hand, not to mention killing a mere Thunder Tribulation Immortal, even taking down the Head of the Jin Family posed no problem at all!

Even if the Head of the Jin Family was arrogant, he wouldn’t dare claim he was greater than the Benevolence Token, would he?

Just as the Head of the Jin Family found himself at a loss for words, a distressed voice echoed again, "Oh dear, despite the rush, I’m still late!"

As the words fell, a patch of azure clouds appeared in the air, and then Mo Wanfang jumped out from within, landing near Fang Lie and the Head of the Jin Family.

Seeing Mo Wanfang show up, Fang Lie was slightly taken aback and immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" Mo Wanfang replied with a bitter smile. "I’m here to stop you from going on a killing spree. I mean, you didn’t actually kill all the Jin family disciples stationed at Ten Thousand Flower Valley, did you?"

"Of course not!" Fang Lie quickly responded, "I killed some, captured most, but that’s fine. I plan to interrogate them rigorously and, once I get the evidence, then I will eliminate them completely!"

"Don’t do that!" Mo Wanfang urged, "Fang Lie, the Mo Sect has many experts, but they can’t withstand your torment. Can you spare them? If you keep this up, the Mo Sect will face severe damage!"

"I don’t care! I only care about questioning them; if they’re guilty, I will kill!" Fang Lie replied firmly.

"What gives you the right to say they are guilty?" The Head of the Jin Family, unable to bear Fang Lie’s insolence any longer, shouted, "Even though Ten Thousand Flower Valley used to belong to your Fang Family, it is now under the management of our Jin Family! You acted recklessly and killed countless of my Jin family disciples, even a Thunder Tribulation Immortal! You’re utterly mad!"

"Old scoundrel!" Fang Lie pointed a finger at him and scolded, "Since you know Ten Thousand Flower Valley is my family’s, you should understand that the servants inside also belong to my family! In just ten years, out of a hundred thousand servants, only ten thousand remain! You scoundrels from the Jin Family are quite ruthless! Let me make it clear: anyone related to this matter will not be spared, including you! You better find a way to distance yourself, or if I catch you with any evidence, I will make your death quick!"

"You, you, you…" The Head of the Jin Family was livid; even Mo Qianxun wouldn’t speak to him this way, and now he was being scolded by a young man right in the face! How would he ever show his face?

Mo Wanfang watched this unfold, equally distressed, feeling overwhelmed by both sides!

The Jin family is greedy and truly does not care about being human; they deserve to be dealt with.

However, Fang Lie acts too ruthlessly. They are still from the same sect, and since it involves the Fire Tribulation Immortal, how can they just fight and kill without hesitation? It is unreasonable to harm the pillars of the sect for the sake of a few servants!

But now that it has come to this, he can only follow his father’s orders to mediate; he cannot let a scene of infighting unfold.

Though the Jin family is despicable, they are still a pillar family of the Mo Sect. Losing them would be like cutting off an arm of the Mo Sect!

So, no matter what, he must protect them.

Thus, Mo Wanfang frowned and said, "Fang Lie, isn’t your Fang family supposed to act according to the sect rules? This time, attacking Ten Thousand Flower Valley and killing fellow sect members may raise suspicions of breaking the rules, don’t you think?"

"No!" Fang Lie replied casually, "I received information that the Jin family was mistreating our family’s servants, so I came to check it out. The Jin family just blocked my way!"

"And for this, you decide to go on a killing spree?" Mo Wanfang frowned and said, "That’s not right!"

"I didn’t want to either," Fang Lie shrugged, feigning innocence. "But who knew that the one who died was this guy’s son!"

As he spoke, Fang Lie pointed at the recently deceased Fire Tribulation Immortal and continued, "This stubborn old man saw his son die tragically and immediately became furious, launching the protective array to surround and kill me! As the candidate Token Lord of the Mo Sect, how could I bear such bullying? Naturally, I had to fight back! This is the whole story. In short, there are Shadow Record Stones documenting everything, and thousands of Jin family disciples were present as witnesses. I have never spoken a single lie or broken any sect rules! I can face my conscience with no shame!"

Mo Wanfang’s face turned green upon hearing this. He could no longer hold back and turned to the Jin family head to complain, "Family Head, if what Fang Lie says is true, then I can do nothing!"

"How infuriating! It’s all Fang Lie’s aggression that led the children to act foolishly!" the Jin family head said helplessly. "Forget it, forget it. I won’t pursue this matter if he releases my people. I might even return Ten Thousand Flower Valley to him, just to make it even!"

This was already a significant concession for the usually domineering Jin family.

However, Mo Wanfang did not think well of it and looked at Fang Lie, saying, "What do you think?"

"Not much~" Fang Lie replied sarcastically. "To slaughter tens of thousands of my disciples and think it’s all over? You’re too naive! Do you really think my Fang family is easy to bully?"

"Look, look~" Mo Wanfang quickly tried to smooth things over. "I know the Jin family is not reliable. They take care of the gardens but sell the servants; it’s simply unacceptable. Even my father is very angry. He knows you have suffered a loss and have been wronged, so he especially sent me to handle this matter. After all, we are all part of the Mo Sect, and fighting will only bring trouble. My father’s intention is to have them redeem all the sold servants and return them to you. How about that?"

"This~" Fang Lie was taken aback by this proposed solution. Compared to revenge, he was more concerned about saving his loyal servants. Moreover, the leader of the Jin family had died at his hands. Losing one Fire Tribulation Immortal could be considered revenge. If he could redeem those who were sold, that would naturally be more meaningful than killing a few low-level disciples.

Seeing Fang Lie hesitate, Mo Wanfang realized he had a chance and quickly continued to persuade him, "Fang Lie, those are loyal servants to your family who have served for generations. Surely, you can’t disregard their lives just because you want to vent your anger?"

"Alas~" Fang Lie sighed upon hearing this. "How many people can be redeemed? Don’t try to deceive me!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Wanfang was pleasantly surprised and quickly looked at the Jin family head. "You sold seventy to eighty thousand people; how many can be redeemed?"

"The thing is~" The Jin family head frowned, thinking. "We can redeem at least ten to eight thousand!"

"You scoundrel!" Fang Lie immediately exploded with rage. "You can redeem so few? Are you messing with me?"

Mo Wanfang also cooled his expression and said blandly, "Family Head, at this point, if you hold back on matters of wealth, then our Mo family will have to stand by and watch!"
