After Mo Han crippled her right hand, Liu Yuanxi did not choose to return to Bright Moon Island imdiately, but instead went to Goryeo, where she sought dical treatnt from so famous doctors before recently returning to Bright Moon Island.
During her treatnt in Goryeo, she was not idle; she hired people to reinvestigate Mo Han and kept a close watch on his situation in Jiangling City.
Just as she suspected, Mo Han was indeed far more terrifying than she had imagined.
Not only were his martial arts skills inscrutable, but his dical expertise was also unmatched in the world, earning continuous praise from Gui Nongsang, who was known as the North Star of the Chinese dicine community.
Mo Han’s network of personal relationships was also extraordinarily strong. He Chen, president of the Jucail Comrcial Association; Ling Yuzhu, head of Tian Sheng Group, the leading enterprise in Jiangling City; Han Feng, president of the Jiangling branch of the Martial Alliance; and the heads of the Four Great Families of Tang, Wen, Zhou, and Zhu all had unusual connections with Mo Han.
During her investigation, she also unexpectedly discovered that the disappearance of Park Taiyu, the Jiuzhou representative of Park’s Biochemical, the largest costics and pharmaceutical sales company in Goryeo, seed to be related to Mo Han.
It was well known that the biggest news in Goryeo during this period was the accidental death of Park Young-joon, chairman of Park’s Biochemical.
The official website of Park’s Biochemical announced that Park Young-joon died after taking dicine brought back from Jiuzhou by the assistant of his second son, Park Taiyu.
Liu Yuanxi, being from Goryeo, understood a bit about the structure of Park’s Biochemical.
The old chairman, Park Young-joon, was a treacherous and ruthless man; the newly appointed acting chairman, Park Taixin, his eldest son, had quite impressive tactics and courage. With his capabilities, it was impossible for him not to investigate the connection between his brother Park Taiyu’s disappearance and Mo Han.
Yet, he made no moves!
What does this indicate?
It suggests that either Mo Han already knew Park Taixin, and perhaps Park Young-joon’s death was a sche they planned together, subsequently pinning the bla on Park Taiyu.
Alternatively, Mo Han’s power was so intimidating that Park Taixin dared not send anyone to Jiuzhou to trouble Mo Han!
Whether it was the forr or the latter, both indicated that Mo Han was not a simple character.
Though their rcenary group, the Cangying rcenary Group, was formidable, they had already lost several significant mbers at the hands of Mo Han.
Now, by using sches, the Nie Family was making the discord between Mo Han and their rcenary group apparent, clearly attempting to use them as a pawn to kill their enemy. They absolutely couldn’t fall for this!
With her eyes slightly narrowed, Phoenix coldly said, "Are you afraid I will lose?"
Feeling the naked scrutiny of her mother, Liu Yuanxi felt uncomfortable all over. She knew her mother was soone who hated to admit defeat, but there were things she had to say, "Yes!"
"I have never felt such a terrifying sense of oppression from anyone else."
"Although Mother is very strong, my intuition tells that you may not be his match."
With a snort through her nose, Phoenix rose from her chair, her head held high, and said, "How can you know who is stronger or weaker without a trial?"
As the number one expert among the rcenary group and one of the top ten hunters in the dark web, Phoenix was very confident in her abilities.
In her view, even if Mo Han was strong, his age was also a factor; at most, he would be at the Peak Profound Rank within the Innate Realm.
And she was a bona fide Earth Ranked Expert. Even in the entirety of Jiuzhou, there were not many people who could be certain to defeat her.
"Mother, the Nie Family is sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight!"
Seeing that her mother was genuinely considering going to Jiangling City to deal with Mo Han personally, Liu Yuanxi quickly spoke, "They just want to use our rcenary group’s strength to help them eliminate dissidents!"
"Whether we win or Mo Han wins, it won’t harm them in the least."
"Moreover! Nie Zhenyuan is infamously cunning and deceitful; with his style, how could he only arrange for us to act against Mo Han?"
"If I’m not mistaken, he certainly has other thods!"
"Why don’t we lie low for now and see how things develop?"
Phoenix did not respond imdiately. She paced back and forth in the tent with her hands behind her back for several minutes before she stopped.
"Let’s follow your advice for now and assess the situation further!"
Although she was fiercely competitive, she had no interest in making wedding clothes for others.
Her daughter was right; given Nie Zhenyuan’s cunning, he surely would not have only arranged for their rcenary group to take action against Mo Han. There were undoubtedly other forces involved. It was better to wait!
Surprisingly, the Cangying rcenary Group, ranked eighth among rcenary circles, kept silent upon learning that it was Mo Han from Jiuzhou who had killed two of their elite experts.
...
At this very mont, on Sakura Island in Yingzhou country.
Family Head of the Liusheng family, Liusheng Fuzai, was seated in a Zen room, looking at a letter in his hands.
This letter was a personal missive from Nie Zhenyuan, the Family Head of the Nie Family from Dragon City in Jiuzhou.
"Outrageous!"
Seeing the content of the letter, Liusheng Fuzai flew into a rage.
These past few days, a powerful swordsman had suddenly appeared in Yingzhou, whose na was unknown to anyone; all anyone knew was that he wielded a long katana, about two feet in length.
This swordsman singled out Masters of Yingzhou for challenges, but unlike the usual dojo challenges that typically only involved friendly sparring and at most minor injuries,
this man fought for superiority and life and death, and not a single one of his duelists lived to tell the tale!
So far, the masters who died at his hand already numbered over thirty, even including the number one expert of the Iga Sect from the famous ninja family in Yingzhou, Iga Gohon.
In terms of strength, Liusheng Fuzai was on par with Iga Gohon.
If that swordsman could slay Iga Gohon, it seed that killing Liusheng Fuzai would not be difficult either.
For this reason, Liusheng Fuzai had asked Nie Zhenyuan for the cursed blade, Li Yao Village Katana, which was stored with him, hoping to borrow its power to fend off the mysterious swordsman.
But now, Nie Zhenyuan was saying that the Li Yao Village Katana had been taken away by a young man nad Mo Han and that Nie Kuangtu, the most skilled assassin of the Nie Family, was easily killed by Mo Han, with even their number one expert, Nie Hengxing, not being his match.
The Nie Family would have liked to help Mr. Liusheng Fuzai retrieve the cursed sword, but they simply lacked the capability and could only hope that Liusheng Fuzai would go to Jiangling City in Jiuzhou to retrieve it himself.
