Chapter 310: Chapter 310
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 methods, it would take a lot of time, and by then, the Divine Calculator would have long since died.
At this moment, everyone seemed 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 same way he treated the Divine Calculator. Perhaps treating the Divine Calculator this way was already his relatively merciful performance.
Fortunately, this time he hadn't planned to form too great an enmity with the Mo family. Otherwise, this time wouldn't have ended as easily as now.
However, at this moment, 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 someone 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 some people who didn't feel afraid of anything. Next time 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 moment. His words seemed to remind everyone of something—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 moment, some 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 equipment, they couldn't approach this place. Even with proper equipment, it would be very difficult to accomplish anything underwater.
At the same time, 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 equipment 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 somewhat 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 same—the Mo family couldn't surround them in a short time, 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 someone 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. Follow current novels on novel★fire.net
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 comeback 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 time, 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.
"Grandfather, are we just letting it go ?" 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 time 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 same time, this voice gave them great pressure. It was definitely made by an expert, and not an ordinary expert at that.
It must be Emperor Level to emit such great power. Even those two King Level martial artists immediately changed color, pressed down tightly by the newcomer's aura, with no one able to move.
In this place of Qingyun City, there were basically no Emperor Level martial artists. However, recently some people had appeared who might possess Emperor Level strength. Of course, the one best known to the Mo family members 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 meeting 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 ," 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 became somewhat ugly as he said, "Mo Yu, if there's something to discuss, we can talk. Are your wings hard now? Are you not putting me, your grandfather, in your eyes anymore?"
"She hasn't done anything to you."
At this time, 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 mean 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 home. Although Nangong Suxin and the Young Miss didn't get along very well, she respected her very much. The Young Miss would do the same 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 somewhat pained expression.
"Mo Yu, now that outsiders are bullying us, you're actually thinking of joining others to bully us," Lin Yi said somewhat angrily.
"Shut up." the Young Miss scolded.
"What? You're telling me to shut up? I'm your cousin. Do you think that now you..."
