Even if the Mo Family Head wanted to save the Divine Calculator now, he was powerless to do so, because Xiaoyao hadn't opened this room. If he wanted to reopen this place through other thods, it would take a lot of ti, and by then, the Divine Calculator would have long since died.
At this mont, everyone seed to feel fortunate—fortunate that they weren't the Divine Calculator, or rather that they weren't as unlucky as the Divine Calculator. If they had also been left in this room waiting to die, just thinking about it made them shudder.
They also understood one point: Xiaoyao wasn't as harmless as he appeared. If they provoked him, he would treat them the sa way he treated the Divine Calculator. Perhaps treating the Divine Calculator this way was already his relatively rciful performance.
Fortunately, this ti he hadn't planned to form too great an enmity with the Mo family. Otherwise, this ti wouldn't have ended as easily as now.
However, at this mont, everyone also knew that whether to end this matter easily would ultimately depend on the Mo Family Head's intentions. If he still wanted to continue, then they might still have to face Xiaoyao, and then they might truly begin to form a deadly feud.
Those who didn't have deep feelings for the Mo family—those who had been recruited not long ago—didn't want to form enmity with soone like Xiaoyao. Having experienced this incident, they could more or less sense Xiaoyao's terrifying nature, actually being able to know things he couldn't possibly have access to.
They had a feeling that if Xiaoyao wanted to know about their affairs, then everything about them would be known by Xiaoyao. They didn't want to have that feeling, and they didn't want to have such an enemy either.
Of course, there were also so people who didn't feel afraid of anything. Next ti they encountered Xiaoyao, they would definitely take Xiaoyao's life—this was their thinking, because they hadn't thought about these matters, or rather, they couldn't think to this degree. They simply believed that Xiaoyao was just lucky.
...
"Grandfather, where does this secret passage lead? We can guard the exit and catch him," Lin Yi spoke at this mont. His words seed to remind everyone of sothing—the Mo Family Head also knew about this secret passage, so he should also know where the exit was located, allowing them to intercept Xiaoyao.
This way, even if Xiaoyao escaped through this secret passage, it would be useless, because the exit could also be blocked. Wouldn't they still be able to catch him in a trap?
At this mont, so people who hadn't thought deeply unanimously agreed, voicing opinions about blocking Xiaoyao and surrounding and killing him once again, venting their displeasure at being "toyed with" by Xiaoyao earlier.
However, those who had thought deeply about things didn't think this way. They felt that since Xiaoyao had chosen this secret passage, he must have a way to escape and wouldn't be caught in a trap.
Indeed, he wouldn't be. The Mo Family Head was also very clear about this point.
The Mo Family Head shook his head and said helplessly, "When this secret passage was originally built, this possibility was already considered, so it doesn't have just one exit, and each exit is in a place that's impossible to be blocked."
"How could that be? If we know the exits, how could they not be blockable?" Lin Yi couldn't quite understand. If there were many exits, that would be understandable since people couldn't block them all at once, but exits that couldn't be blocked was very hard to imagine.
"What if this exit is in water?" the Mo Family Head said.
"..."
That's right—an exit in water, and moreover in an underground river. Even those who knew this exit was here wouldn't know the specific location, and without underwater breathing equipnt, they couldn't approach this place. Even with proper equipnt, it would be very difficult to accomplish anything underwater.
At the sa ti, if these people guarded here, they absolutely couldn't rush to other exits. Even if they knew about them, they would first have to swim out of this underground river.
There was also another point: this underground river connected to many places in the city, which was equivalent to having many more exits.
Xiaoyao chose this exit—he needed to swim out. Of course, since this exit was here, breathing equipnt was also available, enough for him to visit all the exits in this underground river. However, his body would definitely get wet and he'd be sowhat disheveled.
If there were a choice, Xiaoyao wouldn't want this either. This was already the best exit; other places would be worse. Anyway, for him, every exit was the sa—the Mo family couldn't surround them in a short ti, so naturally he would choose the best one for himself.
Then Xiaoyao randomly found an exit, though he didn't choose exits like wells, because wells might very well be in other people's courtyards. He chose the kind by rivers. Although he might be seen by people, that wouldn't be a problem.
Who would care about soone swimming in a river? Even if it was just one person, even if it was a bit strange, people wouldn't think much of it.
Next, Xiaoyao prepared to leave this Qingyun City, completely distancing himself from this matter, to search for clues about his own background. Whatever happened in this place would have nothing to do with him.
The Mo family indeed didn't pursue him. It wasn't that the Mo Family Head didn't want to—he wanted to make an effort. Even knowing it was impossible, he had people guard near those exits.
The Mo Family Head now wished he could kill Xiaoyao, and most importantly, he wanted to recover those funds. That was no small amount—it was enough for the Mo family to make a coback after ruin. One could imagine how much it was.
Therefore, he didn't want to let Xiaoyao go. Even knowing it might be futile, he had to try.
At that ti, the Mo Family Head had even issued orders to pursue, but this command was forced back, because he and the Mo family now had to face a very big trouble.
At that ti...
"Grandfather, are we just letting it go like this?" Lin Yi asked. His expression was telling people that he was very unwilling.
"Let it go? Of course not. Everyone go guard the areas. Even if we can't guard the exits, we can still cover the general locations. Perhaps we'll have a chance to encounter him. We must take down that kid—life or death doesn't matter." The Mo Family Head said with a dark expression. For him, this ti was like capsizing in a gutter, and with Xiaoyao also taking away money, how could he just let it go?
People die for wealth, birds die for food—the Mo Family Head was no exception. It wasn't that he didn't care about money, but that he didn't care about small money. What Xiaoyao took away now was not small money.
"Life or death doesn't matter? Hmph."
Just as the Mo Family Head finished speaking, a cold snort rang out, startling everyone. They could hear displeasure in this voice, and at the sa ti, this voice gave them great pressure. It was definitely made by an expert, and not an ordinary expert at that.
Emperor Level.
It must be Emperor Level to emit such great power. Even those two King Level martial artists imdiately changed color, pressed down tightly by the newcor's aura, with no one able to move.
Who was it?
In this place of Qingyun City, there were basically no Emperor Level martial artists. However, recently so people had appeared who might possess Emperor Level strength. Of course, the one best known to the Mo family mbers was Young Miss Mo Yu.
But if it were the Young Miss, would she pressure them? Perhaps she would, but the Young Miss wouldn't pressure the Mo Family Head. The current Mo Family Head was also being pressed to the point of breathlessness, so this shouldn't be the Young Miss.
Moreover, the Young Miss should still be in a eting now and couldn't possibly appear here.
But soon they felt they might be wrong, because the Young Miss's figure appeared before them, with anger on her face and emanating a very terrifying aura that made people feel as if they were in an ice cellar, their whole bodies shivering with cold.
"Mo Yu, what are you trying to do? How dare you treat grandfather like this," Lin Yi pointed at the Young Miss and scolded.
"Hmph." The Young Miss only snorted and didn't make any verbal response to this.
The Mo Family Head's expression beca sowhat ugly as he said, "Mo Yu, if there's sothing to discuss, we can talk. Are your wings hard now? Are you not putting , your grandfather, in your eyes anymore?"
"She hasn't done anything to you."
At this ti, another voice rang out. Everyone saw a young lady slowly walking in from outside, emanating an aura that made people unable to breathe—the aura of Emperor Level. It was this aura that was pressing down on everyone, including the Mo Family Head.
This young lady was Nangong Suxin. Her expression was quite calm, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy, angry, or truly calm.
Nangong Suxin's appearance also indicated one point: the person pressuring the Mo Family Head was not the Young Miss, but this Nangong Suxin. However, the Young Miss was also only not pressuring the Mo Family Head—everyone else was under both types of pressure.
"Nangong Suxin, what do you an by this? Does your Nangong family want to go to war with our Mo family?" The Mo Family Head stared at Nangong Suxin, his tone very unfriendly.
His confidence was quite strong, as if Nangong Suxin should fear him, which made Nangong Suxin show a trace of disdainful light laughter.
"Mo Yu, should I leave this to you or should I handle it?" Nangong Suxin didn't say anything to the Mo Family Head and directly asked the Young Miss.
She wanted to see the Young Miss's intentions. If the Young Miss felt she could handle it, then she would let her handle it herself. If the Young Miss felt it was difficult to handle, then she would do it.
After all, this was the Young Miss's ho. Although Nangong Suxin and the Young Miss didn't get along very well, she respected her very much. The Young Miss would do the sa in her position.
"I'll do it myself. After all, they're my family." The Young Miss sighed helplessly. This was a rare expression on her—she had always been carefree and rarely showed serious expressions, let alone this sowhat pained expression.
"Mo Yu, now that outsiders are bullying us, you're actually thinking of joining others to bully us," Lin Yi said sowhat angrily.
"Shut up." the Young Miss scolded.
"What? You're telling to shut up? I'm your cousin. Do you think that now you..."
"Slap."
