Chapter 77 The Way of Heaven.
Xiong Mingyuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then realized that Mo Xiu must be referring to Elder Zhuang and the others. His expression turned serious, but he still nodded firmly.
This group of people, for their own benefit, not only concealed the truth but also chose to aid and abet evil, practically gambling with the lives of everyone in their entire base.
So even if it weren't for others, but for himself and Dayong, Xiong Mingyuan would definitely stand on Moxiu's side.
Because Xiong Mingyuan and Elder Zhuang had worked together for a long time, it was much easier for Mo Xiu and Mo Qi to take the lead.
They didn't need to scout the way themselves. After seeing the situation at the research institute, Xiong Mingyuan's people were so excited that they spontaneously cleared the way for them.
Although Elder Zhuang's influence was great and he had many men, Xiong Mingyuan was no pushover either, and with the addition of Mo Xiu's team, each member was equally capable.
After this period of training, Xiao Wan has even mastered various water-based abilities, making her a formidable opponent for other ability users of the same level.
In addition, some of the people in Zhuang Lao's group originally gained superpowers because of the methods developed by the professors in the research institute, which were based on demonic energy.
After Mo Qi removed the demonic energy from them, they would naturally become ordinary people.
Therefore, what followed was a complete stomp.
Before long, the villa's hall was filled with a group of people who were bound by thorny vines and unable to move, only able to grimace in pain.
Even Elder Zhuang was the same; to be honest, he was much easier to catch than that Professor Frank. At least he didn't have as many mutated monsters under his command.
However, Old Zhuang didn't look old at all; he was just a middle-aged man in his early forties. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and judging from his attire, he seemed like someone who often acted arrogantly due to his age.
However, looking at the scene before him, it was clear that even Elder Zhuang could not remain calm.
He glared at Xiong Mingyuan not far away, his eyes seeming to want to devour him, and said to Xiong Mingyuan, "What are you trying to do? Are you sure you want to help them against me?"
"Otherwise what? If it weren't for you, why would my brother have gone to help out at the research institute? It was you who encouraged him behind the scenes, saying that working at the research institute was a good thing and could help him develop his character, which is why I sent him there."
In the end, you were just using him as a guinea pig in your experiments!
The fact that they plotted against his own brother clearly touched a nerve with Xiong Mingyuan.
"So what? Everyone looks out for themselves!"
When Xiong Mingyuan saw that after he finished speaking, the other person still acted as if it were perfectly normal and didn't think he had done anything wrong, he became even angrier.
He's determined to have a serious talk with Old Zhuang today, to make him realize that he did something wrong.
Before Xiong Mingyuan could even speak again, Xiong Gangyong rushed forward and beat Zhuang Laopang up, yelling, "You bastard, how dare you talk to my own brother like that!"
After breaking two of the man's front teeth, leaving him with a bruised and swollen face, and rendering him unconscious, Xiong Gangyong turned to his brother, his face full of indignation, and said, "Brother, why waste so much breath talking to an idiot like that?"
Xiong Mingyuan: "..."
After everything was settled, Mo Xiu followed Mo Qi to the basement of the villa.
They wanted to see exactly what this source of demonic energy that had created the zombies was all about.
Just as the professor had frankly admitted, the basement of this villa did indeed connect to a deeper passageway. However, they hadn't expected the passageway to be so deep.
Standing at the entrance of the passage, Mo Qi's expression became somewhat strange.
Because when he probed inside with his divine sense, he did not sense a particularly strong demonic energy. Although there was some residual demonic energy, the concentration of the residual demonic energy was much higher, far greater than that inside the zombie.
However, the total amount seems small, and it is clear that it has not reached a level that could cause harm.
His senses should be working properly, so could it be that the demonic energy has been sealed away?
Mo Qi felt a little confused, and he told his partner everything he had sensed.
Mo Xiu was also stunned when she heard this. If it were really sealed, then who else in this world would have such ability?
Almost all of Zhuang Lao's associates were arrested, and his underlings, who weren't exactly spineless, confessed to everything they knew. They said the basement was constantly guarded, but they weren't allowed to enter.
So the guards had no idea what was inside the basement.
Mo Xiu and Mo Qi exchanged a glance and decided to go deeper inside to take a look.
Cheng Cheng and the others in the group also noticed that they were missing and came looking for them. Hearing that they were going to check out the underground passage and that it might be dangerous inside, they all offered to go with them.
"No, this is no joke. You should go back quickly," Mo Xiu advised.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Cheng patted his chest unhappily and said, "What are you saying? Brother Mo, do you think I, Cheng Cheng, am such a spineless person?"
We're all in the same team, so we'll definitely share the good times and the bad!
As Cheng Cheng finished speaking, Xie Wu and Xiao Wan beside him nodded seriously at Mo Xiu. Clearly, the three of them did not intend to let him and Mo Qi go alone.
Mo Xiu felt a touch of gratitude, but he didn't want them to risk their lives for him. He wasn't sure what would happen next; everything was uncertain.
Although Mo Qi said he didn't sense much demonic energy inside, what if there was? Even if they already knew the origin of the zombies, where did this demonic energy come from?
But clearly, Mo Xiu's words did not stop them; the three of them were determined to go with them.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiong Gangyong upstairs was being disciplined by his older brother for saying something wrong and hadn't noticed them coming over, they probably would have insisted on going downstairs with them.
Having no other choice, Mo Xiu finally agreed to their request, and the group slowly walked deeper into the passageway.
But when they reached the halfway point, the other three couldn't take another step. They seemed to be controlled by something, their teeth chattering with every step.
"Brother Mo, Brother Qi, are we still going down? What's down there? I feel like something is pressing down on my body! I feel like I'm about to kneel down!"
Cheng Cheng's tearful voice rang out, causing Mo Qi's expression to turn serious as well.
Mo Xiu turned his head and saw the other three people, all of whom were drenched in sweat and pale-faced. He also sensed that something was wrong. But strangely, he and Mo Qi did not seem to be in the same situation.
"Should we continue?" Mo Xiu finally hesitated.
Perhaps something truly terrible awaits them, something they and Mo Qi haven't yet sensed. However, the three of them are more vulnerable and will be affected sooner.
However, what Mo Xiu was more concerned about was whether the so-called danger would harm Mo Qi.
But who knew that this time, the man, who had always been indifferent to everything, would not stop there.
"Mo Xiu, you stay here and watch over them. I'll go check on them myself."
Mo Qi continued walking down the path with unwavering determination. The man's brows furrowed slightly. Just as Cheng Cheng and the others said they felt suppressed, he had also sensed something.
It wasn't demonic energy, but another kind of aura that left a deep impression on him.
After all, no matter what, Mo Qi would never forget the Heavenly Dao that tripped him up when he failed to ascend in his previous life!
