Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 571 – Mo Clan

"It has been a few weeks now since Mo Fan and his group left to find the spiritual ore Mo Feng needs to forge the perfect weapon for him. Mo Feng needs that weapon if he wants to show his worth in the coming Sect recruitment of the Void Sect. As long as he's able to get a good position in the Void Sect the future of the Mo Clan is secured… First Elder, in your opinion, what do you think happened to them?" The Patriarch of the Mo Clan, Mo Han spoke to the person sitting in front of him while drinking his tea. 

"Even though most of that group were weaklings in the Spirit Gathering Realm, Old Fan, is a Foundation Establishment Realm expert and a very loyal member of the Clan. If I remember correctly the Mordian Desert has beasts that were at most in the Spirit Gathering Realm, and even if they meet Bandits they should be able to easily deal with them. So I think it could just be that it was harder to find the Spiritual Ore than we expected. Still… The Sect recruitment of the Void Sect is nearing, so if they don't arrive in the next week, it would be better to send someone to find them." 

"I guess that would be the best thing to do at the moment." As if it was planned someone came into the room after the Patriarch said those words. 

"Forgive my intrusion Patriarch, First Elder, but, one of Mo Fan's men has come back." 

"What of the others?" 

"He's the only one who returned, and he wants to report something to the Patriarch." 

When the Patriarch heard what the messenger said he and the First Elder were truly surprised, especially the First Elder. It was like a slap to the face for the First Elder as he just basically said that it should be alright with Mo Fan present. Now it was possible that the group had encountered some trouble that even someone of Mo Fan's level could not handle. 

"Very well, bring him in." Mo Han spoke in a solemn tone.

…

A few seconds later Mo Yan entered the room, when he saw the First Elder and the Patriarch he quickly knelt on the ground. 

"Greetings, Patriarch, First Elder." 

"Skip the formalities, just tell me what happened. Where are Old Fan and the others?" 

"Patriarch, Sir Mo Fan is still in the desert but he had ordered me to head back first to pass you this letter."

Mo Yan quickly handed the letter to Mo Han without raising his head. Mo Han took the letter and started reading it, the more he read the weirder the expression on his face became. The First Elder who was standing beside him noticed Mo Han's weird expression and could not help but ask. 

"What's the problem, did something happen?" Instead of answering the First Elder's question, Mo Han handed the letter to him. After reading the letter the First Elder frowned. 

"Tell me exactly what happened, tell me every detail that you remember." 

Mo Yan quickly recounted everything that happened to him and the group, from the desperate battle against the Sand Dragon, to how Ren defeated the group of Bandits while asleep. The more Mo Han listened the deeper the frown on his face became. 

"This person should be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm, the same as the Ancestor. First Elder, what do you think?" 

"It is also possible that this person is a genius in the Golden Core Realm that could fight a nearly adult Dragon. Either way, this is someone our family shouldn't provoke."

"That's true, also he did help out Old Fan and the others in securing the necessary Spiritual Ore that Mo Feng needed. We should welcome him to our Clan with open arms. Inform the others to prepare for our guest's arrival." 

Hearing Mo Han's command Mo Yan quickly left the room to inform the others. 

…

After a while, everyone in the Mo Clan knew of what happened to Mo Fan's group. When they heard about the expert on par with their ancestor was coming to visit they quickly started preparing a feast to welcome their distinguished guest. As the people in the Mo Clan were busying themselves happy to hear of Mo Fan and his group's survival, there were some that were not in such a good mood when they heard that Mo Fan's group had survived. 

"Damn it, those b*stards failed to kill Mo Fan and his men! We paid them so much but they were useless!" A young man shouted as he pounded on a table shattering it. 

"Calm yourself, Mo Wei." 

"But Father, now that Mo Fan had survived and acquired that Spiritual Ore, that b*stard Mo Feng would gain a powerful weapon making him stronger than ever. How come that b*stard is so lucky?! Not only is he considered the genius of the Clan and gets all the resources he wants, he even has Ying Yue's affection. Even though he's just the son of a lowly servant, how come he gets to have everything!" 

"Yes this has been an utter failure but it doesn't mean that we won't have other opportunities. In fact, the more Mo Feng gains the more you will receive." Hearing what his father said Mo Wei was able to calm himself down.

"You're right father." 

"Good boy, still the news of Mo Fan's survival was a little shocking, but what I'm truly interested in is this expert that saved Mo Fan's group." 

"Do you truly believe that Mo Fan was able to meet such an expert?" 

"It should be true, seeing as Mo Fan was able to survive the Bandit trap we prepared for him. Now if this person truly defeated a near-adult Sand Dragon with a single attack then he should be at the same level of power as the Ancestor, even if he's not he should be extremely close to it." 

"Really?… Then what should we do, father?" 

"No matter if this person is a true Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator or a powerful Golden Core Realm one, we should befriend him before Mo Feng and his allies get to him."

"What if we fail and he joins Mo Feng's side?" 

"It would be a shame to lose such a powerful ally, but it doesn't really matter. As long as you are able to enter the Void Sect and do as we planned then everything we desire will be given to us.. For now, all you need to do is not do anything stupid."
