The only ones who knew about the appearance of this Jade Pendant were Elder Mo Kong, and his younger brother Mo Yun, which leaves only myself.
This is the back mountain, rarely visited by anyone, and both these elders are masters among masters. Killing Mo Kong while he's in bed is impossible.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong thought of a possibility: his younger brother, Mo Yun.
Although Chen Tianlong didn't know the significance of the Jade Pendant to Mo Yun, the fact that the Pendant in the box is missing can only be explained by someone who had seen it taking it.
Moreover, besides verifying the events of the past, this Jade Pendant also holds a great secret unknown to Chen Tianlong.
While Chen Tianlong was contemplating all of this, suddenly the door was kicked open, and a group of people barged in. Leading them was Mo Family's Master Mo Chou.
Behind him stood many henchmen from the Hao Family, as well as Profound Celestial and Mo Shaoyun.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere, delivering a palm strike towards Chen Tianlong. Startled, Chen Tianlong stepped back a few paces, and upon seeing clearly, realized it was Mo Yun.
"Kid, you actually killed my elder brother. When I arrived last night, I suspected it wouldn't be simple. So, you intended to steal my brother's Jade Pendant, truly sinister." Mo Yun spoke first, twisting the facts.
If Chen Tianlong hadn't heard these words, he might not have been sure that the whole affair had been orchestrated by Mo Yun, and his entry was truly a trap.
A moment ago, Chen Tianlong checked Mo Kong's breath and also felt his body temperature, which still seemed warm. This suggests Mo Kong died not long ago.
In precise terms, he was killed during the battle between Chen Tianlong and Xuan Jing, but Chen Tianlong didn't have time to investigate how he was killed.
However, looking around, in this room, the only one capable of killing Mo Kong so cleanly could likely only be Mo Yun. The two were equally matched in strength and were relatives, making it easier to strike.
"Haha, crying thief to catch a thief, huh? Your elder brother is dead, but he was dead before I came in." Chen Tianlong didn't want to explain too much since everyone here was from the Mo Family, not a single one was good.
"Chen Tianlong, you broke into our Mo Family, injured Junior Brother Xuan Jing, and killed my second grandfather. You're finished, just wait to be jailed," Mo Shaoyun said viciously.
"Oh, and what about it?"
Chen Tianlong simply ceased arguing and looked coldly at the group in front of him.
He knew, if Mo Yun hadn't held back just now, he could have easily injured Chen Tianlong with his strength.
"Hmm, Chen Tianlong, you're too arrogant, killing and showing no remorse. Today I'll teach you a good lesson and send you to the police station."
Upon hearing Mo Yun say this, Profound Celestial didn't intend to kill him either, just wanted to inflict serious injuries, then take him to the police station.
With the power of the Mo Family, putting Chen Tianlong to death would be easy.
Profound Celestial took a step forward and threw a punch.
Chen Tianlong, instead of focusing on Profound Celestial, used a Ghost Shadow Flash to dodge.
He just wanted to know the secret of the Jade Pendant, why Mo Yun would kill Mo Kong, his own brother. Unless there was an unimaginable secret, even if the Jade Pendant was lost among the Mo Family, one's own wouldn't kill one's own, right?
After all, their common enemy should be Chen Tianlong, not each other.
After thinking for a while, Chen Tianlong reached a conclusion: there was an issue with the Jade Pendant.
But if there really was a problem with the Jade Pendant, why didn't anyone act sooner, instead waiting until he brought another high-fidelity Jade Pendant over before this murder took place?
This was Chen Tianlong's greatest doubt, and the only explanation is that the Jade Pendant he brought was the trigger point for this murder, as for why, he couldn't know.
"I don't want to explain too much, but I still want to make one point clear: do you really think with my strength, I could kill Elder Mo Kong? A bunch of fools."
Chen Tianlong swept a cold gaze over everyone.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Tianlong's words, Elder Hao frowned, and Mo Shaoyun was stunned, thinking Chen Tianlong was right.
Even if others didn't know, Mo Kong was a mainstay of their Mo Family, stronger than third grandfather Mo Yun, and very cautious. From the time Chen Tianlong arrived until now had been less than ten minutes; killing Mo Kong in such a short time is basically impossible.
"Haha, think it over, the only one who could kill him would be someone with the best opportunity to strike. If I could kill Mo Kong, how could you still be alive?" Chen Tianlong asked with a playful smile.
"Hmph, don't listen to his nonsense, he must have used some sinister Demon Technique to deceive my brother and then kill him. I can guarantee that the Jade Pendant is definitely on you." Mo Yun pointed out a crucial piece of evidence.
"The Jade Pendant is on me, but you know, yesterday I brought one, and your brother's treasure box also has one exactly the same. Please don't fabricate stories."
"Haha, is that so? With witness and material evidence in hand, who will believe your mere words?" Mo Yun said, then directly turned to Mo Chou: "Jinhua, arrest this man and send him to the police station, then handle my elder brother's affairs."
Mo Yun feigned an extremely sorrowful demeanor and waved his hand.
Mo Chou understood, nodded to Profound Celestial beside him, signaling him to take action.
Chen Tianlong had already understood their intention; they were set on believing he was the murderer, so the high-fidelity Jade Pendant must not fall into their hands, at least not without material evidence.
Otherwise, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name.
Moreover, through this incident, Chen Tianlong realized one thing: his Jade Pendant was truly lost by someone from the Mo Family, otherwise, such an incident wouldn't have occurred the moment it appeared.
And the one who lost it was nine-tenths likely Mo Yun.
However, Chen Tianlong didn't have time to extract anything from this person now; after all, he had to save his own life first before considering anything further.
As he was contemplating, Profound Celestial punched forward.
Chen Tianlong did not slacken, punching with full force, and the two collided.
With that punch, Chen Tianlong was pushed back several meters. Clearly, Profound Celestial's strength was superior to Xuan Jing's, so for Chen Tianlong, without the sufficient power of the Martial God's Arm, dealing with him was really difficult.
After considering, he decided that discretion was the better part of valor.
But after sweeping his eyes around, he found that the windows in this house were few, and the window bars were made of thick iron rods, making escaping through the windows impossible.
And the doorway was blocked by a lot of people, the most crucial being Mo Yun standing there, evidently intending to ensnare him like a turtle in a jar.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong had no choice but to fight bravely, and this battle might end in a significant defeat. The opposition had two experts, even if he managed to defeat one by chance, what about the other?
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong thought of a way; he quickly reached into his pocket and then closed his eyes, activating the Heart Method.
He vaguely remembered that when he did this, a brief X-ray vision appeared, and he had his phone in his pocket.
Chen Tianlong moved very quickly, sending a text message to someone accurately. Although it was just a short six-character message, once sent, that person would immediately understand upon seeing it.
