Everyone looked at Mo Wenjie after hearing the words.
Great Elder: Young man, what do you have to say? This is my Reinhardtman family. What does it have to do with you in electing a new family head? If you try to obstruct it, it's a futile attempt. Do you really think we have so many people and still can't handle you?
Mo Wenjie laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "You thought that the number of people would intimidate me? You were wrong. I'm not afraid of a crowd. Since you are so confident, let's just go ahead and start the battle."
Mo Wenjie said after stepping into the void, arranging a qi and spirit gathering array at the same time, and standing in front of the Great Elder.
Great Elder: Young man, you really don't know how to take things in stride. Today, I will give you a light punishment for a heavy offense. With one move, he reached out towards Mo Wenjie with a gesture of twin dragons surfacing.
Mo Wenjie naturally knew that the Great Elder was no ordinary person, and he wasn't afraid even with the enhancement of the qi and spirit gathering array. The two of them directly collided, creating a loud bang. Sand and dust filled the air as they exchanged blows, and when the dust settled, there was nothing but silence left.
Mo Wenjie and the Great Elder were still standing opposite each other, both unmoving.
Mo Wenjie was greatly shocked within. The strength of this Great Elder truly wasn't exaggerated, he was an absolute powerhouse.
The Great Elder was shocked to the core, at such a young age possessing such strength, he must definitely have the chance to transcend the realms in the future. This young man can only be befriended, and certainly not be alienated.
Great Elder: Young man, do you have any opinions? Speak them out and let us hear!
Mo Wenjie said, "The main reason I came this time is to make Lisa the Dark Lord and the head of the Reinhardtman family. This place is not a place for reasoning, so there's no need for me to be reasonable. I will directly kill and intimidate everyone until they agree that Lisa should be the head of the family. Only then will I stop killing. To be honest, killing you was only a matter of time."
Great Elder: What you are doing goes against our family's edicts, and there is no room for negotiation on this matter!
Mo Wenjie: Then let's start the war. I've already expected this outcome, but it doesn't matter. We have to defeat them to make them accept it. Bring on the old man, let's fight again.
The Great Elder of course knew that if he fought against Mo Wenjie, his defeat was inevitable. After all, he was older, and his stamina would certainly give out after ten moves, making a loss inevitable. Knowing full well that he shouldn't have done it, he said: Who knows if you won't simply take it by force to be the Dark Lord? You claim to be avenging Lisa's name but actually want to take control behind the scenes.
Mo Wenjie looked down on the Great Elder with a disdainful gaze. "I don't even know your intelligence, how did you manage to cultivate to be a Great King? My own strength requires constant experience and opportunities for breakthrough. Where is the time to waste on trivialities like your little dark power?"
The Great Elder nodded in agreement. "As a cultivator, we wouldn't be interested in positions like a family head. Even if we were to agree to let Lisa become the head, her lack of strength and authority would still cause others to question her leadership."
Mo Wenjie said, "If they are not satisfied, let's kill them. Why waste so many words? There is another way. I can open the ancient tomb and let Lisa go inside to accept the inheritance of your ancestors."
Everyone looked at Mo Wenjie upon hearing his words. "What kind of bull are you blowing? The ancient tomb can't be opened without the key. How do you even claim to be able to open it?"
Great Elder: If you really have the ability to open the ancient tomb, we will agree to let Lisa become the head of the family.
Mo Wenjie said, "I forgot to tell you that I'm also an array master. This place clearly has arrays added, and once the arrays are broken, opening the ancient tomb will be a piece of cake."
Upon hearing Mo Wenjie's words, the Great Elder and everyone from the dark forces were extremely excited. If they could really enter the ancient tomb and receive the inheritance of their ancestors, their strength would undoubtedly increase significantly. This opportunity was a dream come true for every cultivator, and no one wanted to miss it. In this era where strength is revered, it is only with great power that one earns respect. What does it matter who is the head of the family? Without strong power, isn't one still expected to listen to the strong? After all, if Andrel had the power of the Great Elder, who would dare to impeach him?
Mo Wenjie knew the thoughts of these people. He silently thought to himself, "Just with your old foxes, it's too far-fetched to play mind games with me. The Longguan people are the ancestors of strategy. How could you possibly play mind games with me? When I open the ancient tomb, I will use the beads of my bracelet to create a bewitching array that only those who wear my bracelet can freely enter and exit. Those who do not wear my bracelet can hide and seek here instead!" Having made up his mind, he secretly pulled one of his bracelets apart.
Mo Wenjie holding eight jade beads said, "You all say that the key to the ancient tomb is an emerald amulet. I have eight jade beads here, and I will use these eight beads to break the array in the ancient tomb. At that time, the eight jade beads will automatically form into the shape of an amulet and open the tomb. When the tomb opens, you must rush in at that moment. Those who don't get in may be without a chance to inherit from within the tomb."
The Great Elder and the others had no other choice but to believe Mo Wenjie's words. After all, he was the one who could open the ancient tomb. Who cared if the key to the tomb was an emerald pendant or jade beads? As long as the tomb's door could be opened, that was what mattered.
Great Elder said, "As long as you can open the ancient tomb, it doesn't matter if the key is a pendant or beads. Just start breaking the array!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and nodded. "Everyone, step back twenty meters. I am about to start breaking the array."
Everyone retreated twenty meters upon hearing this.
Mo Wenjie snorted with amusement, starting to set up the Eight Diagrams and Five Elements Bewitching Array. After a series of movements, the qi in the surroundings began to gather into the array, and suddenly a cold wind swept through, followed by sudden gusts of wind. Mo Wenjie stealthily took out the jade pendant from his spatial ring and threw it into the circular recess of the stone door leading to the tomb. With a loud shout: "Open!"
The crowd was astonished to see an eight-trigram pattern appear and disappear several times, flickering in and out, before it vanished. Then the creaking sound of the stone door being opened echoed, as the door slowly swung open.
The crowd of dark forces were filled with excitement, their eyes filled with greed. They no longer cared about Mo Wenjie and rushed towards the tomb one by one.
Mo Wenjie looked at Lisa and the Han sisters and said: Follow me into the ancient tomb.
The three girls nodded and followed Mo Wenjie as they walked into the ancient tomb.
Strange things happened. Mo Wenjie led the three women, walking in big steps into the ancient tomb.
The crowd of dark forces watched Mo Wenjie and the three women enter the ancient tomb, their hearts pounding with anxiety. Yet, as they tried to enter, they found themselves unable to do so. Watching Mo Wenjie and the others walk into the tomb, they wondered if it was true that they were destined to be deprived of the inheritance within. Was it possible that this Dragon Nation youngster was playing a trick on them? It shouldn't be like that! If he were trying to fool them, he should have been the only one able to enter, since he broke the array and was the one who solved it. However, three women accompanying him managed to enter as well. How could this be explained?
After about ten minutes, the stone door of the ancient tomb creaked and closed.
The Great Elder and the others had an extremely ugly expression. Missing such an excellent opportunity was something they couldn't bear. They couldn't just give up like that. They would have to wait for them to come out here, and if there really were precious materials to enhance their strength, they had to make sure they were handed over. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to seize them forcefully.
Mo Wenjie and the three women walked into the ancient tomb. He released his spiritual awareness to explore the surroundings. The three women were all cultivators and naturally possessed spiritual awareness as well, although their cultivation base was too low, their spiritual awareness could only probe up to about ten meters. They followed Mo Wenjie as they walked further into the tomb.
Lisa asked in confusion, "Dear Mo, why can we come in, but they just spin around and can't get in? The entrance is right in front of them, yet they go in and out, out and in. Why don't they just keep walking forward?"
Mo Wenjie answered, "Just look at them when the stone door opened. They rushed forward without a care for you as the future family head. It shows that they only care about the cultivation resources within the ancient tomb, not you as the future family inheritor. People like them cannot be allowed to enter. Even if they do gain some cultivation resources and strength, they will not respect you as the family head. If you become their puppet master, they will not listen to you. In the end, you will only be a figurehead."
Han Moxuan said with a smile, "My husband is so cunning!"
Mo Wenjie smiled lightly and said, "It's not that I'm being cunning. I'm just being cautious. I destroyed one bracelet and used eight jade beads to set up an array. They cannot enter because they are unable to break it. You have bracelets on your hands, which are the same as the jade beads in the array's foundation. They are of the same origin, so you can enter."
Han Mieran looked at Mo Wenjie with teary eyes. This is truly extraordinary! Such a clever move is unprecedented in the world. This is my man, truly worthy of pride!
Lisa finally realized it. "Dear Mo, I see now! Arrays can be so magical? It's truly eye-opening!"
Han Moxuan smiled and asked, "Husband, what else don't you know?"
Mo Wenjie replied, "I don't know too many things. Learning has no end!"
Mo Wenjie suddenly stopped walking. His spiritual awareness detected a tree ten thousand meters away, covered with fruit in numbers exceeding a dozen. In disbelief, he muttered to himself, "Could it really be the Longling Fruit? That's not supposed to be possible. The Longling Fruit has very strict growth conditions. According to the records, it grows in places of extreme yang and is very fragile. Too much water will rot its roots to death, while too little water will cause drought and death. Without sunlight for five days, it will also die. Strong cold air and hurricanes can shake its roots and cause death, as can lightning strikes. Although the growth conditions are strict, the effects of the fruit are extraordinary strong. A single fruit can add three hundred years to an ordinary person's lifespan and raise a cultivator two minor levels, significantly enhancing their strength in future cultivation. It is truly a fruit that one can only encounter but not seek out. My luck really cannot get any better."
Lisa saw the excitement on Mo Wenjie's face and asked, "Dear Mo, what happened that makes you so happy?"
Mo Wenjie laughed heartily, "In front of us is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's hurry over! I'll let you guys enhance your strength without you even realizing it."
The four of them quickened their pace and raced towards the Longling Fruit tree.
Mo Wenjie suddenly stopped.
