My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2058: Chapter 2054: The Reclusive Mo Family

...

A group of people started discussing, each saying their piece.

"Stop arguing."

Tang Kaiyu rubbed his brow in frustration, "You’re all giving me a headache!"

"Sect Leader, what do you propose we do now?"

The group looked expectantly at Tang Kaiyu.

"No matter what, we must capture the Son of Sunken Star, or else the sacrifice in overthrowing the Tang Family will have been in vain."

Tang Kaiyu squinted his eyes, his face dark as he spoke, "However, our ancestor was injured when fighting the Tang Family and hasn’t fully recovered. Facing Tang Haicang and Yun Potian, the odds are against us. We need to think of another plan."

"What could possibly work?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances.

"Seek out the Mo Family!"

Tang Kaiyu took a deep breath, "The Mo Family is responsible for the Tianqi Plan. Now that they know the whereabouts of the Son of Sunken Star, it’s their duty to help us capture him. Without him, there’s no chance of initiating the Tianqi Plan."

"That could work, but the problem is there’s only one Son of Sunken Star. If the Mo Family takes the opportunity to seize him, won’t we suffer a huge loss?"

"Don’t worry! The Mo Family’s Skye Leaf has always been under their control; they don’t need the Son of Sunken Star."

Tang Kaiyu shook his head and sneered, "Besides, even though Yun Potian is formidable, his Huaxia Secret Technique is also a hot potato that many want to get their hands on."

"Sect Leader, what do you mean by this?"

The group looked at Tang Kaiyu, puzzled.

"Haha, if the martial artists could launch an assault on Yun Potian back then, why not now?"

Tang Kaiyu laughed sinisterly, "Spread the word immediately, say that Yun Potian and Tang Haicang have been missing because they were seriously injured back then and have not recovered, so their cultivation has greatly diminished, forcing them to hide."

"This might not be appropriate! They just had a confrontation with the Dragon Group alongside the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, no one will believe it."

Someone immediately voiced their concern.

"The issue is that Tang Haicang and Yun Potian didn’t actually engage with the Dragon Group; instead, they let many foreign forces leave unharmed. You can capitalize on this—it’s not in Yun Potian’s nature to let foreign invaders leave alive; that in itself is suspicious."

Tang Kaiyu said cunningly, "Before we act against the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, I want to make sure they have no peace."

"Yes."

The group nodded repeatedly, then left to execute their tasks.

In a nameless valley filled with a decaying scent, a mysterious figure shrouded in a black cloak sat meditating atop a stone pillar in the center of the valley.

At that moment, the dark, damp ground of the valley suddenly bulged, and a grotesque figure with a decaying face and emanating a foul stench emerged.

"Boss, there’s news about Yun Potian and that Tang Ming."

The grotesque figure knelt in reverence, gazing up at the mysterious person.

"Speak."

The mysterious person’s voice was low and cold, uttering just one word.

The grotesque figure quickly relayed the information about Tang Ming and Yun Potian.

"So the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect is Yun Potian and Tang Ming’s sect."

The mysterious figure stood up, looking menacingly into the distance, "Nangong Tianyue said my sister died at Tang Ming’s hands. I didn’t believe it before, but now knowing he is Yun Potian’s disciple, it must be true."

This mysterious person was Li Miaokong, the founder of the Netherworld Road, who had once betrayed his sworn brother Yun Potian.

"Boss, Yun Potian is not weak, and with that reputedly powerful Tang Haicang, I’m afraid we can’t afford to provoke them."

The grotesque figure spoke with trepidation.

"Tang Haicang? Haha, just an old fox who uses poison. When he made his name, Yun Potian hadn’t even risen. I never thought they’d be working together."

Li Miaokong sneered in disdain, "Now that my Divine Skill has reached Great Success, even if they join forces, they are no match for me. Immediately inform our people to assemble; I will lead them myself to flatten the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect and avenge my sister."

"Yes!"

The grotesque figure nodded reluctantly. Though uncertain, since the boss had spoken, he had no choice but to obey.

The hidden Mo Family reigns over the entire South Sea Islands, occupying an island with the best climate and establishing a highly developed boutique city where most members of the Mo Family live.

Inside a luxurious villa, a group of elderly men in suits sat around listening to a middle-aged man with a benevolent expression and elegant demeanor recount the battle at the Imperial Capital Experimental Base.

This middle-aged man was Mo Changtian, the current head of the Mo Family, and the elderly men present were the old monsters of the Mo Family.

"Elders, that’s the situation. Yun Potian and Tang Haicang identify themselves with the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, strongly intervening in the war between Dragon Group and the alliance, only eliminating the Heavenly Wolf Palace but not troubling the Dragon Group."

Mo Changtian summarized with some regret.

"Interesting! These two actually appeared together, quite unexpected."

"Though Yun Potian is powerful, he was previously solitary and not a threat. Now, mingling with Tang Haicang and creating this Heavenly Martial Poison Sect will disrupt the martial arts balance, potentially affecting our Tianqi Plan!"

"If it were just Yun Potian, he wouldn’t stir much trouble. But Tang Haicang is a traitor of the Ancient Tang Sect and knows much about the Tianqi Plan. And that Tang Ming is his disciple, surely he’ll try to stop us."

...

The old men discussed earnestly, unlike others who feared Yun Potian, they were more concerned about Tang Haicang.

"Back then, Tang Haicang fled with the Son of Sunken Star, already disrupting our plan. Now he’s allied with Yun Potian, taking Tang Ming as a disciple. That Tang Ming is undoubtedly the Son of Sunken Star."

Mo Changkong frowned, speaking with concern, "This means we can’t initiate our plan without dealing with Tang Haicang and Yun Potian."

"It’s not easy to deal with those two, but it seems the Ancient Tang Sect might be more anxious."

An elder stroked his chin, speaking with intrigue, "Wait and see, if my guess is correct, the Ancient Tang Sect will soon contact us."

"If they do reach out, how should I respond?"

Mo Changtian asked uncertainly.

"Naturally, find ways to eliminate all potential obstacles to the Tianqi Plan. Contact the other families immediately; dealing with Yun Potian and Tang Haicang is beyond the means of just one or two forces. The Heavenly Martial Poison Sect with these two is no less powerful than the Tang Family in its prime."
