Capítulo 1185: Chapter 231: The Death of Rodrigo

This voice echoed above the Rodrigo family’s skies, leaving everyone present internally shaken.

Xu Mo, Cultivator from the ‘First Sequence’ of the Mystic God Temple, successor candidate of the Mystic God Temple.

The Skywalkers from the Mystic God Temple who arrived were all dumbfounded and shocked, looking up at the high skies.

Xu Mo from the Mystic God Temple of Chloe Star had become the successor candidate of the Mystic God Temple.

Ironically, not long ago, many adverse rumors about Xu Mo spread within the Mystic God Temple, claiming he might betray the Temple.

A successor candidate of the Mystic God Temple, betraying the Temple?

Now it sounds like a joke.

Betraying oneself?

How foolish would Xu Mo have to be to betray the Mystic God Temple?

At this moment, they all understood that Rodrigo was finished.

The Hall Master of the Mystic God Temple stepped up for Xu Mo, publicly revealing Xu Mo’s First Sequence identity, with a clear purpose: to clear Xu Mo’s name and protect him.

Vera O’Brien was equally taken aback upon hearing these words, her beautiful eyes gazing at Xu Mo in front, the ‘First Sequence’ Cultivator and Temple successor. Many doubts were finally resolved.

It turned out he had always been nurtured as a successor.

Everyone realized that Rodrigo was finished.

The Mystic God Temple endorsed Xu Mo; no one could save Rodrigo.

This voice was like a bolt from the blue for Rodrigo, shocking him to his very core, leaving him standing frozen, his face pale as death, accompanied by a bone-chilling coldness, which was fear.

Even though humiliated by Xu Mo’s defeat, he still believed that in his own family, Xu Mo couldn’t truly act against him, even with the Mystic God Temple involved. But as long as there was no evidence, they couldn’t touch him.

But at this moment, Rodrigo truly realized what he was facing.

He might… really die.

At this moment, he felt a deep irony and finally understood why he kept questioning why.

Why would the Mystic God Temple trust Xu Mo so much, dealing with him, also a genius cultivator from the Temple, and the third on the Mystic God Ranking?

The First Sequence!

Ironically, he had always looked down on Xu Mo, but he was only third on the Mystic God Ranking, while Xu Mo was the First Sequence successor.

“Rodrigo, regarding your killing of Mystic God Temple cultivators Wu Lai and Asaka, Xu Mo places his own life as a guarantee. The Mystic God Temple naturally needs to investigate thoroughly. If this wasn’t your doing, the Temple will revoke Xu Mo’s successor status and expel him. After that, if you wish to seek revenge, so be it.”

In the sky, that voice fell again, saying: “If your family has any doubts about the investigation of the Mystic God Temple, Vera O’Brien as the leader’s daughter can be a witness, and the republic can also help clear the matter.”

“Therefore, the truth will inevitably be known. Whether you admit it or not doesn’t matter. I ask you one last time – did you do it? If not, come back to the Mystic God Temple for an investigation now.”

Those around actually understood. With Xu Mo guaranteeing with his life, the matter Rodrigo must have surely done.

Even though Rodrigo was the successor of a top family within the republic, Xu Mo, as a successor of the Mystic God Temple, was putting his life at stake to investigate him, no one could question it.

Rodrigo himself understood this as well, that he couldn’t escape.

At this thought, Rodrigo revealed a sarcastic smile, as if mocking himself.

He never imagined that killing a few he considered ‘insignificant’ would cost him his life.

From start to finish, he never saw Wu Lai and Asaka as worthy opponents; two ordinary Skywalkers from the Mystic God Temple of Chloe Star were nothing in his eyes.

Previously, Xu Mo was the same.

But comically, he was going to die at his hands.

“I did it.”

Rodrigo painfully closed his eyes and spoke. Denial no longer had any meaning. The Mystic God Temple was determined to investigate, and no one could stop them.

In the O’Brien Republic, only the republic itself had the power to rival the Mystic God Temple, and his family was far from qualified.

Moreover, how could the O’Brien Republic stand against the Mystic God Temple because of him?

He didn’t carry such weight, especially when Vera O’Brien stood on the opposing side.

Thus, when the Hall Master of the Mystic God Temple personally arrived and used the Temple’s power to seize him, his fate was already sealed.

The people he killed, it was a fact, so no one could save him.

“Rodrigo.” His father, Roman, shouted angrily.

Though he hated Rodrigo’s lack of ambition, as a father, he still wanted to protect Rodrigo, but Rodrigo’s admission cut off all routes of retreat.

“This matter was solely my doing, unrelated to the family; simply because I couldn’t stand Wu Lai and Asaka, I killed them at will.” Having confessed, Rodrigo became calm, unwilling to implicate the family.

Roman showed a pained expression, looking at Rodrigo.

No matter what, he never imagined that the Rodrigo he raised as a successor would face utter disaster because he killed two seemingly insignificant people.

“Fool,” he cursed internally, yet it was all meaningless now.

“Rodrigo, you should end your life and apologize,” Roman said, telling Rodrigo to commit suicide.

Rodrigo looked at his father, then smiled and said, “Alright.”

Saying this, he lifted the Big Spear in his hand and prepared to take his life.

However, at that moment, Xu Mo suddenly struck. Rodrigo’s spiritual power was once again severely damaged. With a puff, a sharp pain hit him as Xu Mo’s knife plunged directly into his body, piercing his heart.

A chill swept over, and Rodrigo stared at Xu Mo with pain, hatred, and reluctance.

“Audacious!” Roman shouted, but Olmer still blocked him.

Xu Mo gazed coldly at Rodrigo and said, “The way you killed Wu Lai and Asaka, that’s how I’ll kill you, Rodrigo. You can die now.”

As he finished speaking, destructive energy exploded within Rodrigo’s body, tearing it apart in an instant, raining blood down.

Did Roman want Rodrigo to commit suicide so he could leave a complete body?

With today’s technology, who knows if Rodrigo’s suicide would be clean, or if he would be secretly saved.

Xu Mo wouldn’t allow such variables to occur, so he personally ended Rodrigo, leaving him without a trace, just like when he killed Wu Lai and Asaka.

“Rodrigo killed Wu Lai and Asaka in the Abyss, outside the jurisdiction of the O’Brian Republic. Therefore, it is an internal matter of our Mystic God Temple. According to the rules of the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo, as the heir of the Mystic God Temple, cleansed the house for the temple. This matter ends here.”

The voice from the sky suppressed Roman’s anger.

Rodrigo killed an internal cultivator of the Mystic God Temple, so the temple naturally had the reason to cleanse the house, and no one could say anything.

Rodrigo, Xu Mo killed, and that’s that.

This matter belongs to the internal affairs of the Mystic God Temple.

Furthermore, Xu Mo killing Rodrigo will surely incur the wrath of the Rodrigo family. Today, the Hall Master of the Mystic God Temple declared Xu Mo as the first sequence heir, also to protect him. Anyone who dares to move against the heir of the Mystic God Temple must think twice.

Now his status is equivalent to Ares of the O’Brian Republic.

“Go back.” The voice from the sky descended, and immediately the people of the Mystic God Temple withdrew from the Rodrigo family.

After killing Rodrigo, Xu Mo also walked back. Although he couldn’t bring Wu Lai and the others back to life, having Rodrigo fall from grace and die was considered avenging them.

Xu Mo reunited with Zero, and Vera O’Brien was also present.

“Senior Sister, thank you.” Xu Mo thanked Vera O’Brien. This time borrowing the momentum of the Mystic God Temple and Vera, he felt very grateful that Vera chose to trust him.

“Hmph.” Vera O’Brien snorted coldly and said, “You really kept me in the dark.”

Vera felt a bit annoyed, as if she knew nothing at all.

“Senior Sister, regarding the first sequence, I myself was unaware. It was just that the Mystic God Temple gifted me a Battle Armor, named as the first sequence.” Xu Mo explained, “As for Rodrigo’s matter, I didn’t hide anything.”

“How do you plan to make amends?” Vera O’Brien asked.

“What does Senior Sister want me to do?” Xu Mo replied.

“In future trials with me, you’re not allowed to hide your strength anymore.” Vera O’Brien said.

“Alright.” Xu Mo nodded.

“Remember your promise to me.” Vera gave him a look and then moved forward, creating some distance as she went ahead.

Xu Mo gave a wry smile.

Zero, standing beside, blinked at Xu Mo and said, “Is there a future?”

Previously, it was about avenging Rodrigo, what about the future?

“Uh!” Xu Mo heard Zero’s muttering and said, “Zero, sparring is to improve strength, there’s no other meaning.”

“Am I not good enough?” Zero asked.

“In the future, I’ll take you with me.” Xu Mo said.

Zero thought for a moment and asked, “Should I go all out against her then?”

Xu Mo: “……”

Don’t be impulsive, it could cause trouble!

The group withdrew from the Rodrigo family, the cultivators of the Mystic God Temple were quite unsettled.

After they left, many figures from the Rodrigo family floated in the air, watching the departing figures and the disappeared Rodrigo.

Today’s events were not just the killing of Rodrigo; the impact on their family was also extremely severe.

The Mystic God Temple is the Cultivation Holy Land of the O’Brian Republic. Most cultivators of the republic see entering the Mystic God Temple as a glory. Rodrigo, ranking third on the Mystic God Ranking, was always a topic of conversation for the family and Rodrigo’s own capital, enabling him to become the family heir.

And now, Rodrigo killed a fellow member, betrayed the Mystic God Temple, and was executed publicly. Moreover, the Hall Master of the Mystic God Temple personally showed up to kill Rodrigo within their family. The impact of this event is foreseeable, and soon all major forces of the Capital Star will know.

“Fool!”

Roman clenched his fists, the word fool was aimed at Rodrigo, who lost his life and the family’s reputation for the sake of two small figures.

Though he cursed, his heart was in immense pain, along with hatred.

Xu Mo!
