Chapter 258: Chapter 257, Greeting the Sect Leader

When the previously bored and impatient Mo Ran saw the ring in Xu Wendong’s hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.

It was as if he’d seen a ghost and even rubbed his eyes.

After confirming he saw it right, he nervously swallowed and asked, ”You... how do you have this ring? Does it have the character ’eight’ inscribed inside?”

Xu Wendong asked, ”So, do you intend to claim it for yourself?”

”Hold on, don’t leave, don’t go anywhere!” Mo Ran excitedly left the counter and then closed the pawnshop’s door, seemingly to prevent Xu Wendong from leaving.

After doing this, he headed straight up the stairs.

Moments later.

A sound of clanging footsteps echoed.

Then...

An old man, wearing a gray linen robe, tumbled down the stairs, crying out in pain as he rolled.

Upon reaching the ground floor, he came to a face-first stop, giving Xu Wendong a shock.

What a unique way for this elder to make an entrance!

Seeing the obsidian ring in Xu Wendong’s hand, the old man’s tears flowed profusely, and he knelt on the ground with a thud: ”Ninety-sixth generation disciple of the Life-Seeking Sect, Mo Yuan, greets the Sect Leader!”

The rules of the Life-Seeking Sect were simple, whoever held the Sect Leader’s token was the Sect Leader.

Although many found this rule unreasonable,

There were still some who remembered it.

”You gave me quite a fright; I thought you would snatch the obsidian ring away once I revealed it,” Xu Wendong smiled, realizing that had he known today’s outcome, he wouldn’t have felt so anxious when coming.

Although he feared no formidable experts, he didn’t desire conflict with others.

”Sect Leader, may I ask where you obtained this obsidian ring?” Mo Yuan asked excitedly, nervously watching Xu Wendong, behaving childishly despite his advanced age.

Xu Wendong said, ”It was given to me by an elder named Qin Luochuan.”

”Where is he now? Is he still alive?” Mo Yuan’s tears flowed uncontrollably.

Qin Luochuan.

Such a strange and familiar name!

Strange because he hadn’t heard it from others for a long time.

Familiar because he was Mo Yuan’s master.

And also his lifesaver.

If Qin Luochuan hadn’t rescued him back then, he would have starved to death.

Xu Wendong said, ”The old man is currently in good health, but he suffered severe injuries earlier, causing amnesia. Now, he’s just beginning to recall bits and pieces of the past.”

After a pause, ”Anyway, don’t kneel; stand up and talk.”

”Yes!” Mo Yuan dared not defy the Sect Leader’s order and obediently stood up. Before he could speak, Xu Wendong’s voice sounded again: ”So, I promised Elder Qin to help restructure the Life-Seeking Sect.”

”But I don’t know where to start.”

”That’s why he sent me to find you.”

”Can you tell me about the internal situation of the Life-Seeking Sect?”

Mo Yuan respectfully replied, ”The Life-Seeking Sect now has two factions. The first is led by Senior Brother Lin Kun, with a large following. They have been running the sect for years.”

”It’s said that Lin Kun already sits on the Sect Leader’s throne and has undertaken many tasks violating the sect’s rules over the years.”

”Besides, there are only a few of us, like our junior sister and the old ones. We believe that master is still alive and have been waiting for his return.”

”However, our few, weak old ones cannot compete with Lin Kun.” He sighed helplessly.

Xu Wendong understood and asked, ”Where is the headquarters of the Life-Seeking Sect?”

Mo Yuan: ”The Life-Seeking Sect’s headquarters was previously in the Nine Dynasties Imperial Capital Luoyang, but it moved to the foot of the emperor’s city years ago.”

Xu Wendong felt a headache coming on.

He certainly had to go to Jingdu.

But now was too early.

After all, he wasn’t yet strong enough to contend with the Xu Family.

Even though his strength was formidable,

He didn’t know how terrifying the heritage and foundation of a Millennium Family Clan could be!

So.

He couldn’t go to Jingdu yet.

After a moment’s thought, Xu Wendong said, ”Let’s do it this way. Gather Elder Qin’s old associates, and inform me once you’ve contacted them all. Then, we’ll meet at the old site of the Life-Seeking Sect in the Nine Dynasties Imperial Capital to discuss dealing with Lin Kun and others.”

You have to savor revenge just like food, bite by bite.

No matter if it’s cultivation.

Or revenge.

It must be well-planned and executed.

After exchanging contact information, Xu Wendong said, ”That’s it for today. Contact me anytime if anything arises.”

”Sect Leader, where is master living now?” Mo Yuan asked nervously, ”I’d like to pay my respects to him.”

Xu Wendong looked troubled: ”I feel that he might not want to see you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me alone to find you.” Seeing Mo Yuan’s disappointed face, Xu Wendong added, ”However, since you didn’t seize the obsidian ring, he’ll likely be gratified when he hears about it.”

Mo Yuan forced a smile: ”How could a disciple forget the Life-Seeking Sect’s rules? How dare I forget?”

Xu Wendong acknowledged, ”Rest assured, Elder Qin is in good health now, but having just remembered past matters, he cannot fully part with his current life.”

”Perhaps after he adjusts to his former identity, he might come to see you all.”

”Alright, that’s it for today!”

”Goodbye!”

”Farewell, Sect Leader!” Mo Yuan hurriedly followed him out, bowing until Xu Wendong’s limousine was out of sight, his aged eyes gleaming with excitement.

Although the master had not returned,

He had appointed a promising successor.

With master’s discernment, this promising newcomer must have extraordinary qualities.

This was indeed a blessing for the Life-Seeking Sect!

Without further thought, he took out his phone and made a call, ”Junior sister, good news, good news, there’s news about master.”

”A young man previously came to see me with the Sect Leader’s token, claiming to be fulfilling master’s intention to restructure the Life-Seeking Sect!”

------

On the other side.

In Club Number Three.

”What? Xu Wendong went to Pawnshop Number Eight? And he even met Elder Mo? Elder Mo bent over to see him off?”

When Cao Jinbo heard this, the cigar in his hand dropped to the ground, his eyes filled with shock.

Perhaps in the eyes of many, Pawnshop Number Eight was just a small pawnshop.

But to someone like Cao Jinbo, a figure of the underworld, he knew Pawnshop Number Eight’s terror, especially that old man named Mo Yuan, as his identity wasn’t simple!

He didn’t know Mo Yuan’s background, but one thing was clear: even those few big figures in the provincial city had to respectfully call him Elder Mo when they saw him.

If Xu Wendong was only connected to the Fang Family, Cao Jinbo wouldn’t believe he could rival the forces behind the Wanlong Association.

But the problem was,

He connected with Pawnshop Number Eight.

Even Elder Mo bent over to see him off...

No matter how terrifying the forces behind the Wanlong Association were,

Compared to Pawnshop Number Eight, what could they be?

He returned from his shock, his eyes notably serious, ”Just who is Xu Wendong? Why does even Elder Mo fear him so?”
