“You!”
Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Jiang Shan’s expression instantly turned ugly.
“Did I say something wrong?” Mo Xiao remained composed. “If you think 1 said something inappropriate, you can just attack me and avenge Jiang He.
“Or perhaps, you have prepared other means to deal with me?” Mo Xiao said, suddenly looking elsewhere. “It seems you’ve brought quite a few people with you.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
Jiang Shan was about to continue discussing the matter with Mo Xiao, but the latter’s words shut him up. He followed Mo Xiao’s gaze and looked in the direction he was pointing.
To his surprise, Jiang Shan noticed that more than a dozen combat professionals had appeared not far from them without him noticing. They were slowly surrounding the two of them.
“Why are there so many people here?”
Jiang Shan was puzzled, seemingly unaware of the situation himself.
“Don’t you have to ask yourself?”
Mo Xiao sneered and held the Four Symbols Heavy Sword in his hand. “Don’t tell me that these people have nothing to do with you.”
“Do I need someone to kill you?! My level is so much higher than yours. Killing you would be as easy as a slap!”
Jiang Shan glared at Mo Xiao with annoyance and didn’t bother to say much. “Put away your sword. The Jiang family has no intention of dealing with you.” “But 1 nearly killed your Jiang family’s young miss. You don’t have any intention of dealing with me?”
Mo Xiao was somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Shan’s response.
He was prepared to be hunted down by the Jiang family when he returned.
“Though I’m not entirely sure of the details, we know who you are, and as for your Mo family… forget it, the point is, 1 am really angry, but 1 haven’t lost my sanity yet.”
Jiang Shan looked deeply at Mo Xiao and said, “You can go back and rest. I’ll handle these guys and drive them away. Take a day to rest. As for the specifics, come to the Jiang family tomorrow and we’ll have a proper chat.”
Hearing Jiang Shan’s words, Mo Xiao fell into silence.
Perhaps he had been too cynical about people’s intentions…
More precisely, he had been too cynical about the Jiang family’s intentions.
“Do you want me to help?”
Mo Xiao asked after a moment of silence.
Seeing Mo Xiao raise the enormous Four Symbols Heavy Sword again, Jiang Shan quickly said, “Hey, hey, hey! What are you trying to do? They are all part of the Jiang family! I’ll persuade them to leave! Don’t act impulsively! Always resorting to violence.”
“Oh.”
Hearing this, Mo Xiao put away the Four Symbols Heavy Sword and quietly stood on the side without moving.
Seeing that Mo Xiao didn’t make any drastic moves, Jiang Shan felt relieved. He quickly walked to the front of the group of people and seemed to be saying something to them.
At this moment, Mo Xiao suddenly frowned.
Some of these people had been stopped by Jiang Shan.
Logically speaking, they had seen Jiang Shan’s actions.
No matter what, they should have stopped and waited for the situation to clarify before taking further action.
However, from their actions, it seemed they had no intention of doing so.
Mo Xiao frowned slightly and used the Illusion Breaking Technique on one of them.
[Character Panel]
Name: Wang Ergou
Attributes: Omitted
Status: Afflicted by Evil Energy.
Afflicted by Evil Energy: Enveloped by a malevolent aura that seems to cause them to act differently than usual.
“Evil energy…”
Seeing this information, Mo Xiao’s face showed a knowing expression.
Although the Jiang family hadn’t acted against him for almost killing Jiang He, Jiang He, who was possessed by an evil spirit, seemed to be taking action.
Moreover, from the looks of it, even the lower ranks of the Jiang family had fallen under the control of the evil spirits.
After contemplating for a while, Mo Xiao walked up to Jiang Shan.
Seeing Mo Xiao suddenly appear, the people in front of Jiang Shan clearly lost control, as if they wanted to pounce on him and teach him a lesson.
“Kid, what are you doing here?! Go back! Wait until 1 tell them to send the goods!”
Seeing this, Jiang Shan quickly stopped them and glared at Mo Xiao unhappily.
“Hall Master Jiang, why don’t you first check their condition?”
Seeing this, Mo Xiao said.
“Their condition?”
“Don’t you think they’re acting differently from normal people?”
Hearing this, Jiang Shan frowned, and he looked at the people in front of him. There seemed to be a faint red hue in their eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shan quickly used the Detection Technique.
“Afflicted by Evil Energy?”
Although Jiang Shan didn’t quite understand what that meant, it didn’t sound like something good.
Without hesitation, Jiang Shan retrieved a golden bead and gently squeezed it. A holy light immediately emanated from his hand.
Instantly, the bodies of the group of people convulsed for a moment.
Then several red energies flew out of their bodies and dissipated.
“What… What happened?” With the disappearance of the red energy, Wang Ergou and the others regained their senses, looking around in confusion, as if they had forgotten what had happened earlier.
Seeing this, Jiang Shan used the detection spell again and heaved a sigh of relief. “Ergou, do you remember anything now?”
Hearing this, Wang Ergou scratched his head and said, “1 only remember… the family head asked us to go back for a while, but 1 don’t remember what happened.”
“Big Brother asked you to go back? Then… have you seen Jiang He?”
Jiang Shan’s expression changed again when he heard this. He subconsciously glanced at Mo Xiao before asking further.
“Young Miss?” Wang Ergou hesitated for a moment, pondered a bit, then nodded. “It seemed like the Young Miss was there too, but both the Master and the Young Miss seemed somewhat strange at the time.”
H ti
Hearing this, Jiang Shan fell silent again.
Based on this situation, it seemed that what Mo Xiao had said earlier was probably true.
“Alright, 1 understand. You all can go back now. 1’11 take care of Mo Xiao,” Jiang Shan waved his hand, dismissing the group.
After everyone left, Jiang Shan approached Mo Xiao and stared straight into his eyes with a serious expression.
“Kid, is Jiang He also afflicted by evil aura?”
Mo Xiao shook his head. “No, her situation is different. She seems to be possessed directly by one or even two monsters.”
“What? Possessed by monsters?!”
Jiang Shan widened his eyes in astonishment. This was the first time he had heard of something like monsters possessing humans.
In the past, conflicts between humans and monsters were simply battles where they fought to the death.. The concept of possession was entirely new to him, and it was different from what Mo Xiao had initially described as control…
