The Monster Hunters had already entered Tongxian City. No matter how anxious the Qian Family was, they were helpless now.
When Mo Hua came back to his senses, he realized Elder Yu was already standing by his side.
Elder Yu’s clothes were torn in several places, and he’d expended a lot of spiritual power. He glared at Mo Hua, and seeing he was unharmed, finally relaxed a bit.
At the same time, Qian Hong and Qian Zhongxuan also arrived.
Having been delayed by Yu Changlin all the way, they looked somewhat weary, but what was even harder for them to accept was the scene before their eyes.
The Monster Hunters were adorned with storage bags and carrying storage boxes two by two, walking safely and openly into Tongxian City!
Those storage bags and boxes contained Spirit Stones!
Newly mined Spirit Stones!
They were supposed to belong to the Qian Family!
Qian Hong was seething with rage.
After investing so much time, so many Spirit Stones, and so much manpower, the Qian Family had come away with nothing, having been thwarted at the last moment.
He himself was in a disgraceful state, disheveled and humiliated.
This was the greatest defeat since he’d taken over as the Family Head!
Overcome with an intense mixture of anger and frustration, Qian Hong’s expression twisted as he bellowed,
“Yu Changlin! You old coot! I won’t let you off! I will flay you a thousand times over!”
“And that Formation Master of yours, I will make sure to find him and tear him limb from limb! To quell the rage in my heart!”
Elder Yu was not intimidated by Qian Hong’s threats. After all these years, threats from the Qian Family were nothing new to him. If he truly feared the Qian Family, he would never have opposed them.
However, he was somewhat concerned for Mo Hua; although he could ensure Mo Hua’s safety, he was afraid that Mo Hua might be scared.
When Elder Yu turned his head to look at Mo Hua, he saw not a trace of worry or fear on his face; instead, Mo Hua was snickering.
Elder Yu couldn’t help himself and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Mo Hua blinked and said in a low voice, “The old tortoise’s shell has cracked.”
Elder Yu frowned, not quite understanding, until he looked up again and saw Qian Hong, disheveled and furious, with his clothes torn and his expression distorted. He then got the joke.
Qian Hong, who always kept his emotions concealed, now had completely lost his composure. Looking disheveled and twisted with rage, he was cursing loudly like a fishwife.
Having dealt with Qian Hong for so long, Elder Yu had never seen him in such a state of utter disarray.
Elder Yu couldn’t help but laugh out loud as well, then he shouted back at Qian Hong,
“Qian Hong, you old tortoise, with your shell cracked you might as well tuck your head in and roll on home. Don’t embarrass yourself any further here!”
