that furious shout caused countless powers within qingzhou city to shudder. was an immense battle finally about to start?

although there were countless powers within qing prefecture and there was an unending struggle, it was unknown just how many years had passed since such a large battle had been held.

“you shameful thing, even you dare be so arrogant? then let this old man see just who has such guts.”

mo yi sneered, his voice shaking the heavens, incredibly domineering. with a wave of his hand, the mo family’s experts all strode out of mo gate.

a battle on this scale could not be held in the city. that would completely destroy all of qingzhou city and implicate countless innocents.

long chen and mo nian followed behind mo yi. mo yi now seemed like a divine weapon that had finally been unsheathed, his sharpness shaking the world.

mo yunshan and the others were following him. close to five hundred xiantian experts were releasing a soaring battle intent. they were all experts amongst experts.

these people were only the mo family’s experts. mu xue had originally been planning on joining, but she had been stopped by long chen.

mu xue’s cultivation base wasn’t bad, but she hadn’t experienced true slaughter. she wasn’t suited to such a battle.

this battle was something only those on the xiantian level had the qualifications to participate in. so the majority of the mo family’s disciples were all left within mo gate.

seeing these people go straight out of the city, the city’s hidden spectators were all shocked.

“so mo yi was actually really alive this entire time. heavens, that’s an expert that reached the peak of sea expansion a millennia ago. this time there really will be a show to watch,” exclaimed one of them.

in the past few centuries, mo yi had never revealed himself outside mo gate. everything in mo gate had been handed over to mo yunshan to handle. later, people had assumed he was no longer present.

there were also people who had intentionally fanned the flames to say that he was gone. that had brought on a huge controversy.

but mo gate had always remained silent in regards to those rumors, and no one was aware of what was true and what was false. even without mo yi present, mo gate had still been a supreme existence above the other sects.

now that he had appeared, it alarmed everyone. this time there really would be an unprecedented battle.

mo yi was leading people, and he wasn’t going fast. the spectators all hid and watched.

“long chen, a great battle’s about to start. aren’t you excited?” mo nian suddenly laughed. he was incomparably excited, and he felt like his blood was boiling.

“i don’t feel anything.” long chen shook his head.

“what? could it be you’re afraid?” asked mo nain.

“no. the main thing is that i’ve experienced too many battles like this. ever since i started rising in phoenix cry, i killed out my own path. despite knowing a glorious battle is about to start, even though i want to get excited, regretfully, i just can’t,” said long chen helplessly.

“hahaha, this act of yours gets full points.” mo nian laughed disdainfully.

“grandfather, i understand,” said mo nian.

“your life is your own. you can bet it as you want to. the heavenly daos are emotionless. there are countless daos. there are many types of gambles, many types of games. you shouldn’t care whether or not you will be the final winner or loser. what you should cherish are the emotions that you feel while you gamble. hehe, that’s what’s truly stimulating!”

mo yi laughed and seemed as if he had become many years younger. his eyes shone like an obsessive gambler who had held back for millennia and finally had a chance to gamble.

“ten years i wandered with my bow, my arrows causing heaven and earth to shake. the nine heavens, ten lands, and all the universe will revolve around me. only i, mo nian, will rise to glory. hehe, the battle today will mark the day that i, mo nian, begin my rise!” exclaimed mo nian high-spiritedly.

obviously, in this particular situation, mo yi’s words had been exceptionally stirring to mo nian. they had allowed him to clearly see his path forward.

if even mo yi, the leader of the huge existence known as mo gate, could keep the mindset of a barefoot gambler when facing all predicaments, then in comparison, mo nian’s worries were as groundless as being worried the sky would fall.

“old man, you really are wise,” praised long chen.

“hehe, i’m not wise at all. our mo family has countless ancestral teachings, but there is one kind of teaching that is not passed down: how to keep mo gate alive forever.

“isn’t that very curious? it was our mo gate’s ancestors that were the truly wise ones. they were the ones who said to live freely, repaying kindness and enmity. their goal was for us to maintain our core heart.

“as for whether or not mo gate can continue surviving, it is not something up to man. it is up to destiny. whether or not mo gate’s inheritance is cut off has nothing to do with us.

“what we need to do is to continue passing on the essence of the mo family to our descendants. in the future, even if the mo family is eradicated, we will still have the face to see our ancestors.

“but if we were to have our essence destroyed by this chaotic world in order to maintain our inheritance, then there would be no need for mo gate to exist. we’d have no way to face our ancestors.

“so mo nian, remember, maintaining the inheritance of mo gate isn’t important. what’s important is that even if you have only one breath left to you, you still have to use that breath to show your spine,” said mo yi.

mo yi had only just finished speaking when a large mass of people appeared ahead. they had arrived at the scorched earth forest.

the scorched earth forest was south of qingzhou city. according to legend, a fire attribute divine beast had undergone nirvanic rebirth here in the immortal era, causing all the ground here to be scorched black.

but what was inconceivable was that this scorched ground possessed limitless life energy and had given birth to a flourishing forest.

in front of the forest was an open space. since ancient times, this area had been a sacred battleground for decisive battles near qingzhou city.

over countless years, many experts and powers would choose to have their decisive battles here, battles that determined life or death.

today, there were thousands of experts present. they were standing there, icily looking at mo yi’s group.

long chen examined them and his heart sank. there were over two thousand xiantian experts, several times what mo gate had.

of those experts, there were over two hundred that were wearing violet robes; the yin character embroidered on their chest.

as for the remaining ones, their robes had the ‘lin’ character on them. there were two elders with extremely powerful auras at the front, and at the same time, long chen noticed another familiar person: yin wushang.

yin wushang’s expression was exceedingly gloomy, killing intent surging in his eyes. he stood at the front, glaring at long chen with hatred.

“mo yi, you were actually still alive?” asked one of the elders at the front.
