A Vendetta Nine Generations Old Can Still Be Avenged
It was the first time Lin Yaodong had ever heard his big brother make a sound like that.
Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately stopped cultivating and left the cultivation chamber.
Chen Mo offered Lin Yaodong no explanation. He merely said, "Get aboard."
Knowing that Chen Mo was furious, Lin Yaodong did not dare ask questions or waste words. He immediately boarded the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle.
The Cloud-Piercing Shuttle was a flying spiritual artifact refined by Chen Mo, and its grade had reached that of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.
It could travel ten thousand li in a day.
It could be powered by either spirit stones or true essence. Chen Mo had once obtained spirit stones from a treasure chest, but there had only been ten thousand of them, and they had all been low-grade spirit stones.
Chen Mo was usually reluctant to use them, but this was no time to be stingy. He could not spare a thought for waste and placed nine spirit stones into their corresponding slots.
Chen Mo activated the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, and it soon vanished into the horizon.
In less than a day, Chen Mo crossed ten thousand li and arrived at the safe house.
Chen Mo had traveled at full speed the entire way, rapidly consuming both true essence and spirit stones. He had not stopped taking medicine, and if he had not already been a Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator, he might not have been able to withstand such intense exertion.
After arriving above the safe house, Chen Mo took out an Array Disk and activated it, opening a gap in the formation. He drove the flying vessel through at top speed, and before long, the gap in the formation closed on its own.
Chen He was startled when he saw the gap appear in the formation, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the visitor was Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was now the true pillar of the family, and Chen He felt both gratified and helpless about it.
Seeing that his parents were both safe, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief as well.
He had rushed here without regard for the drain on his true essence precisely because he had been worried about his parents' safety the whole way.
Only now did Chen Mo realize that overusing his true essence had caused minor damage to his meridians, sending faint stabs of pain through them.
Chen Mo asked with concern, "Father, what exactly happened? I sensed you suddenly use the Experience Card. Who was the enemy?"
Chen He explained everything to Chen Mo in detail. "This and that... and so on..."
Upon learning that it was the Heaven Dou Empire that had attacked his parents, Chen Mo seethed inwardly. The Heaven Dou Empire is courting death!
Chen Mo said, "Father, I'll take you and Mother to my cultivation grounds first. Please don't be stubborn this time. As for the Heaven Dou Empire, I'll deal with it."
Chen Mo's tone was firm and left no room for doubt. Chen He and Li Yan had just been through such an ordeal, so this time they did not refuse.
Seeing that his big brother was only taking his own parents and seemed to have no intention of bringing Lin Yaodong's family, Lin Yaodong opened his mouth, then stopped.
Chen Mo naturally understood what Lin Yaodong meant. However, he only cared about Lin Yaodong, not his family. Besides, the formation here could hold off a Titled Douluo for a while, so it was safe as well.
As long as they did not court death, nothing could happen to them.
Still, Lin Yaodong was his underling, so Chen Mo explained it to him.
Chen Mo said, "If you really want to protect your family, then get stronger. Become so strong that no one dares set their sights on them..."
Lin Yaodong clenched his fists. "Yes, Big Brother. I'd like to say goodbye to my family first."
Chen Mo gave Lin Yaodong the Array Disk that controlled the formation and said, "Go on. Give them this as well. You know how to use it. This estate is yours."
Lin Yaodong said nothing, but silently committed the kindness to memory.
A day later, Chen Mo returned to his cultivation grounds with his parents and Lin Yaodong.
They had not been in a hurry this time, so they had traveled more slowly and taken a full day to arrive.
After settling his parents in, Chen Mo left with Lin Yaodong.
Chen He could roughly guess what his son was going to do. He wanted to say something, but did not know where to begin. His son had long since grown into someone he had to look up to, and no longer needed his guidance or protection.
In the end, Chen He simply said, "Be careful."
Chen Mo nodded to show he understood.
The Sunset Forest was not far from Heaven Dou City, and Chen Mo reached the city in just half an hour aboard the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle.
However, Chen Mo did not make his move immediately. He was waiting for his little sister, Chen Momo.
The day before, Chen Mo had sent word to Chen Momo, telling her to meet him in Heaven Dou City.
Chen Mo knew, of course, that his little sister Chen Momo and Xiao Wu had run away from home a year ago. They had talked about upholding justice, punishing evil, and promoting good, but in fact they had come to play with Dugu Yan. The three sisters really had done quite a few good deeds, though.
The three of them had always stayed around Heaven Dou City, close to Chen Mo's cultivation grounds. If anything really happened, Chen Mo could reach them within half an hour if he traveled at full speed.
On top of that, Dugu Bo had been secretly protecting the three of them all along, so Chen Mo could not be bothered to interfere.
After he had waited several hours, Chen Momo, Xiao Wu, and the others finally arrived.
As soon as Chen Momo saw Chen Mo, she ran over and hugged her brother.
Chen Momo excitedly introduced her new friend. "Brother, Momo missed you so much! This is Sister Ye Lingling, a friend I recently met. Lately, we've been together and..."
Seeing his sister chattering away, Chen Mo cut her off before she could continue.
Chen Mo said, "We can talk about those things later. Right now, we have something more important to do."
Chen Mo said, "Yesterday, something happened to Mom and Dad... This and that... and so on..."
Chen Mo told his sister Chen Momo about some of what had happened the day before.
Chen Momo asked worriedly, "Are Mom and Dad all right?"
Chen Mo said calmly, "Mom and Dad are both fine, but someone else is about to be in trouble."
Chen Momo's little head had yet to catch up.
Chen Mo reminded her, "Avenging one's parents is a child's duty, isn't it?
"I've said it before: a vendetta nine generations old can still be avenged!
"No one may lay a hand on our family."
By the time he finished speaking, Chen Mo seemed like a different person, filled with killing intent.
Even Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who had come with his sister Chen Momo, could not help shivering.
It was also Dugu Yan's first time seeing Chen Mo like this. In her mind, he had always been calm and composed, taking everything lightly no matter what happened.
Now, however, Chen Mo's indifferent tone filled her with dread and fear.
It was not just her. In fact, it was also the first time his sister Chen Momo and his pet Xiao Wu had seen him like this.
Chen Momo was somewhat worried about Chen Mo's state and wanted to comfort him.
Chen Momo said, "Brother, aren't Mom and Dad all right? Please, don't be like this. I'm scared."
This time, Chen Mo did not indulge her. He looked at her coldly and said, "Our parents were bullied. Shouldn't their children do something about it? I will have to leave eventually. After that, you'll be the only one left to protect them. You can't go on like this..."
