Chapter 283: Mohist Past
Under the gazes of everyone present, Su Ming seemed to be in deep thought, but in fact he was observing the expressions of the Mo family siblings.
The brother and sister were staring at Su Ming closely at this time. They seemed a little nervous and expectant as they looked at Su Ming. They seemed to want to know how Su Ming got the murderous trap in his hand.
Su Ming subconsciously wanted to hide it, but on second thought, he felt that there was no need.
Anyway, he is wearing a vest now, and only Xu Qianqian knows the details of the demise of the Mo family in Longyao City. Others don't know that the person who destroyed the Mo family in Longyao City was Su Ming, and they don't even know that all the people in the Mo family in Longyao City have been killed.
Therefore, even if Su Ming tells the truth, there will be no problem as long as he does not reveal his identity.
Of course, before that, Su Ming had to know what this pair of Mo family siblings meant.
"You said this issue is very important to you Mohists? How important is it?"
Su Ming asked this question as if he didn't care.
This made the Mo family siblings look at each other and fell silent.
They seemed to have something to hide, or something difficult to talk about that they didn't want to say.
Instead, it was Qin Qing who chuckled at this time.
"The Mo family only wants to find the location of the former traitor through the whereabouts of the evil thief. Young Master Wang doesn't need to be on guard."
This sentence made Su Ming turn his gaze to Qin Qing.
"A traitor?"
Su Ming seemed to be thinking about something.
"That's right." Qin Qing nodded and said, "This is something that almost everyone in the upper echelons of Tianfeng City knows."
Qin Qing was about to explain when Mo Li stopped her.
"Let us tell our own story." Mo Li sighed and said, "Twenty years ago, a branch of our Mo family suffered from blood failure. They lost the blood they were proud of, and were thus neglected by the family and gradually became marginalized."
"At that time, the head of that branch of the family tried countless methods to restore the bloodline of his branch, consulted many famous alchemists, and also intended to marry into many families with excellent bloodlines."
"But unfortunately, they failed to restore their bloodline in the end. They even continued to decline. One day, they finally did something they shouldn't have done."
Mo Li's words made the atmosphere at the scene seem a little depressing, and also made Mo Zhu, who was standing next to him, show an unhappy expression on his young face.
This was a gaffe by the Mohists and an indelible stain in the history of this super family.
"What did they do?"
Su Ming narrowed his eyes and asked this question.
Mo Li lowered his eyes, hesitated for a while, and then sighed.
"They are targeting the bloodline of the direct descendants."
Mo Li said so.
"In order to restore their own bloodline, rebuild the glory of their branch, and also to allow their faction to produce a seven-star professional one day, leading the people to occupy an important dominant position in the Mohist School, or even dominate the entire Mohist School, replace the direct lineage of the Mohist School, and become the new pillar of the Mohist School, they secretly captured the direct lineage members and prepared to use an evil ritual to take away their bloodline and replace it with their own bloodline."
This is undoubtedly a big taboo.
No, it should be said that he committed a serious crime.
For the sake of his own personal interests, he actually attacked his immediate family members and was even prepared to use such an evil ritual to usurp the throne and seize power. This is unforgivable no matter how you look at it.
"After the incident was exposed, the senior members of the Mohist family were furious and gathered the whole family to suppress the branch. They successfully executed the mastermind and all the direct participants on the spot, leaving only some relatives who were not deeply involved. They also expelled them from the family and even exiled them outside the base city, leaving them to fend for themselves."
Mo Li's explanation made Su Ming feel certain.
The branch of the family that Mo Li was referring to that committed a serious crime was the Mo family of Longyao City.
The Mohist School of Longyao City was an alien ethnic group that drifted to Longyao City twenty years ago, was taken in by the city, and thus settled in Longyao City.
It is said that they were a branch of a super family that had committed some mistakes and were exiled by their main family in the heart of the continent. Their origins were very extraordinary.
It now seems that the Mohist School of Longyao City is the branch of the Mohist School that was exiled by the Mohist School of Tianfeng City.
"It seems that the Wang family and the Mo family are really destined to be together."
Su Ming thought so.
The Wang family of Tianfeng City, together with the royal family they once served, sealed the King of the Spirit Demon Prison in the current world at the border of the continent, and left a branch there to become a grave-keeping clan, guarding the seal, and established Longyao City on the seal.
A branch of the Mohist school in Tianfeng City that committed a serious crime was exiled to Longyao City. I don't know if it was a coincidence or there were other reasons.
Su Ming was thinking this while raising his doubts.
"In that case, why did you come to me with the murderous chariot?"
Hearing Su Ming's words, Mo Li's face suddenly turned cold.
"Because we want to find those ruthless guys."
Mo Li looked surprisingly angry.
Not only Mo Li, but even Mo Zhu who was standing beside him snorted coldly, seeming to be very indignant.
This made Su Ming curious.
"Did they do anything?"
Su Ming's question was met with Mo Li's affirmation without hesitation.
"The guys whose lives we spared not only did not repent their mistakes or thank the family for their kindness, but they also sneaked into the Mo family's treasure house the night before they were exiled and stole many treasures from there."
After Mo Li said this, Su Ming basically understood.
"The Xiong竅 is one of the treasures stolen by that branch at that time?"
Su Ming's guess was correct.
"They probably also understand that if they are exiled like this and arrive in the dangerous wilderness, they will most likely die, right?" Mo Li said, "So, in order to survive, they decided to take a risk and steal a batch of treasures from the family's treasure house to use as a means of survival in the dangerous wilderness."
No wonder a branch of the clan whose mastermind and main participants were executed was able to survive after being exiled and travel a long distance, reaching the border of the continent and being taken in by Longyao City.
It seems that the other party relied on the treasure stolen from the master's house to get through the difficult times? "No wonder an alchemical weapon like the Xiong Yu is in Mo Leng's hands."
Su Ming suddenly understood.
Given the conditions and geographical location of Longyao City, even a normal alchemical weapon is extremely precious. How could there be a weapon that is on the list and ranked among the top 100 alchemical weapons in the world? Even if there is, it should fall into the hands of the top power in the base city like the six major families. There is no reason for it to be in the hands of the Mo family, which does not even have a six-star professional and only has a five-star professional, the head of the family.
Before, Su Ming thought that it was Mo Leng's personal luck that allowed him to obtain such a powerful alchemical weapon.
Now it seems that Mo Leng's personal weapon was actually stolen.
The Mo family of Tianfeng City also seemed to be extremely hateful towards the Mo family of Longyao City, so when the Mo family brother and sister mentioned that branch, their eyes were filled with either resentment or indifference.
After knowing this, Su Ming also understood why the brother and sister were so anxious to find him.
He brought back the treasures of the Mohist school that had been stolen by the side branches, and put them up for auction at the auction house. Naturally, people would think that he had come into contact with those former traitors of the family.
They wanted to find those ungrateful traitors themselves and punish them personally.
What a pity. "You may be disappointed." Su Ming grinned and said, "All those traitors are gone."
"What?"
Mo Li was stunned.
"All gone?"
Mo Zhu also showed a surprised expression.
Qin Qing and Manager Yu looked at each other.
Under such circumstances, Su Ming said these words in a calm tone.
"Twenty years have passed, and it seems that they really haven't learned their lesson. They touched the wrong people, and the only result is death."
This simple sentence made everyone understand what Su Ming meant.
"You mean?"
Mo Li was both surprised and uncertain.
However, Su Ming did not continue speaking.

"Let's stop here. I won't tell you the details." Su Ming waved his hand, but suddenly said with a half-smile: "Of course, you can also think that I am lying and think that I am an accomplice of your family's side branch, and torture me to extract a confession."
"That way, maybe you can get accurate information about them."
This statement is already a provocation.
Su Ming was obviously testing the Mo family's attitude in this way to see if they doubted him so much.
After all, the person who brought the Xiong竅 here for auction might not necessarily be an enemy of that branch of the Mohist school, but could also be a close relative.
If the Mo family really suspected Su Ming, then Su Ming would probably be targeted by one of the only eight super families in Tianfeng City.
If this is true, Su Ming needs to make some preparations in advance and take precautions.
Fortunately, after hearing Su Ming's words, Mo Li shook his head.
"If you are really an accomplice of those traitors, then they would never hand over the murderous trap to you."
Mo Li was so sure.
On the side, Mo Zhu couldn't help but speak out.
"Although the Xionghuan is only a fine alchemical weapon ranked 99th on the weapon list, it was once a personal weapon used by my Mohist ancestors to expand the family's territory. It is of great significance to our Mohist family. Those traitors knew this and would never give such a symbolic treasure to others casually."
That's how it is.
No matter what kind of alchemical weapon it is, it is forged by humans, not born naturally.
Including the legendary three artifacts, all alchemical weapons come from the hands of alchemists.
The birth of Xionghuan was relatively early.
In the era when it was created, there were not many powerful alchemical weapons, so the Xionghuan was already considered a top-notch divine weapon at that time.
In the weapons list, the Xiong Fei once ranked among the top ten and was one of the most famous magic weapons in the world at that time.
It was not until later, with the development of the times, that the technology of alchemists became more and more mature, and more and more powerful alchemical weapons were born one after another, which caused the ranking of the Xionghuan to drop again and again. Until today, it is almost dropped out of the weapon list.
In view of this, in the eyes of others, the Xiong Yu is just a fine alchemical weapon ranked at the bottom of the weapon list, but in the eyes of the Mohists, it is an heirloom passed down by the family ancestors, and its symbolic significance is far higher than its own value.
This is why the Mo brothers and sisters immediately decided to buy the beast at all costs when they saw it being auctioned.
It was not only to find clues about the traitor, but also to return the Mo family heirloom to the family.
It is precisely because of the extraordinary symbolic significance of the evil jar that the Mo family siblings are certain that those traitors would not simply hand over this heirloom to someone else and have them auction it off.
It's not because those traitors respect their family and ancestors, but because this is the Mohist heirloom. Holding it will not only make the main family furious, but it is also more likely to make use of it in order to replace the main family in the future and achieve orthodoxy.
Mo Li and Mo Zhu are very clear about all the intricacies of this.
In their view, Su Ming's act of auctioning the murderous trap proved that he could not be an accomplice of those traitors.
Of course, they also wanted to know how Su Ming got the murderous trap and what his relationship was with those traitors.
It seemed that Su Ming was unwilling to say more.
"Really can't you tell us?" Mo Li thought about it and decided to fight for it. He said, "If you are willing to tell us the truth, we will definitely prepare a generous gift for you."
Hearing this, Su Minglai, who had originally decided not to say anything, became interested.
"What kind of gift?" Su Ming said very bluntly: "I'm only interested in contribution points at the moment?"
How could Mo Li not understand what Su Ming meant?
"10,000 contribution points!"
Mo Li gave a quote directly.
There is no doubt that this is intelligence cost.
"not enough!"
Su Ming's eyes lit up, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he said this.
"20,000!"
Mo Li frowned and made another offer.
"At least 100,000 contribution points are required!"
Su Ming simply asked for a huge amount.
"100,000?" Mo Zhu immediately shouted, "Why don't you go and rob it?"
What kind of information is worth 100,000 contribution points? News about the Nightmare Seed Bloodline? Or the whereabouts of the artifact? Could it be that this mysterious young master is treating them like fools?
You know what, Su Ming really meant it.
"I have the most detailed information about those traitors you mentioned, including where they have been, what they have done, and what they are doing now in the past twenty years."
Su Ming said with a grin.
"I can assure you that the information I provide is definitely worth the money, at least for you Mohists."
These solemn words really frightened the Mo family siblings.
Mo Li also frowned and struggled for a long time.
Finally, Mo Li nodded.
"I hope your information is worth the price."
Mo Li meant something.
"Don't worry, I promise you won't feel at a loss."
Su Ming smiled, and smiled very happily.
