Chapter 1395 Getting To The Bottom By Following CluesXie Danfeng finally got onto her feet, stretching her arms and kicking her legs out. Then, she got all excited and wrapped her arms around Tan Tan, smiling and bouncing about as she did. “Tan Tan, you’re simply the best. My cultivation has soared by seven to eight levels…”Tan Tan’s grin was so wide that his mouth was all askew. Patting his chest, he replied, “No problem, leave it to me. It’s not an issue even if you wish to raise it further…”

Xie Danfeng let out a loud cheer and the couple were all over each other.

Chu Yang sat at the side, his face full of black lines. All of a sudden, he felt rather miffed.

This is all thanks to my resources, alright? Why has it all become Tan Tan’s credit? And this fellow is actually shameless enough to accept all of it… As if you have something as awesome as this?

Unable to hold himself back, he said, “Say… Danfeng… This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Tan Tan…”

Xie Danfeng turned to him. “Cough cough… Say, Senior Brother Disciple Chu… You’re my brother-in-law and I’m your sister-in-law… If I were to give you a hug and a kiss too… Can you even accept it?”

Tan Tan nodded vehemently and added on with some disdain. “Is there any senior out there who behaves like you? Actually thinking of taking advantage of even your sister-in-law… Moral degeneration of the world is truly getting worse day by day. People are no longer what they used to be like in the old days.”

Chu Yang was overwhelmed by dizziness and so flabbergasted that he couldn’t even speak.

Who… asked you to give me a hug and a kiss?

Besides… When have I ever wanted to take advantage of my sister-in-law? Isn’t this an unjust accusation in broad night-light?

Aren’t I just…

Watching this husband and wife hugging and being intimate without any reservations, Chu Yang’s face was covered in black lines.

Who’s exactly the one here whose moral degeneration is getting worse day by day and no longer what people used to be like in the old days?

“You must speak with a clear conscience!” Chu Yang protested powerlessly.

“Isn’t giving your brother’s wife a little benefit something that you should do as an elder brother-in-law? To think you’re so calculative and actually even asking for a return favor…” Tan Tan pursed his lips to the side and added on. “I’ve never seen a person like you!”

Chu Yang held his forehead… entirely speechless.

Fine, it’s my defeat…

Then, he heard Xie Danfeng cheering. “Tan Tan, you look so handsome when you purse your lips to the side like that!”

“Really really really?” Right away, Tan Tan became excited and in high spirits. “How so?”

“Just handsome in any case!”

“Then I should purse my lips more… but I can’t do that to my wife… No matter who I despise, I cannot despise my own wife…” Tan Tan was very troubled. As his eyes swiveled, he suddenly discovered his target. Right away, his words flowed without ceasing.

“Hmph, I’ve never seen a person like you…”

“You’re really so stingy and miserly. To think you hold yourself as my senior brother disciple…”

“Practically making me nag at you without any care… Hmph…”

…

Unable to tolerate it any further, Chu Yang stepped forward. He brandished Meng Chaoran’s token of authority in his left hand while his right hand formed a fist, which slammed into Tan Tan. “I’ll let you be handsome! I’ll let you be so handsome that you’ll have enough of it! In the name of Teacher, I command you to… withdraw your protective internal energy barrier!!”

This beating seriously felt too awesome…

Tan Tan was forbidden from resisting and protecting himself with his internal energy. He pretty much turned into a swollen pig-head after just a few punches. Tears streamed down his cheeks. “You’re too cruel…”

Right at this moment, the ground underneath their feet suddenly started shaking intensely.

The three of them received a shock at once. What was going on?

Then, a wave of powerful tremors came from beneath them. Caught by surprise, the three of them fell onto their bottoms, stunned into a daze.

Next, an explosive blast resounded loud and clear. All three of them felt their eardrums buzzing and swelling outwards at the same time. Where they were, the ground started to shake and sway intensely with tremendous force, as though the mountains and earth were shaking and quaking. The building of the inn tilted acutely toward the east and then back toward the west. The three of them were thrown rolling to the east and then to the west. Only then did they finally recover from their shock and steadied themselves in the center of the room.

A dazed Tan Tan asked, “An earthquake?”

Before he even finished, the inn collapsed inwards with a great crash.

In this instant, the fact that Chu Yang and Tan Tan were taught by the same Teacher was exhibited to its full extent.

Both of them said something at the same time!

“Tan Tan, hang in there! I’ll cover for you!”

“Chu Yang, hang in there! I’ll cover for you!”

Amidst the chaos, Tan Tan pulled Xie Danfeng into his embrace and bent over to shield his wife. Letting out a shout, he activated his divine technique. Right away, the roof of the inn collapsing inwards was thrown outwards in one piece…

The two brother disciples then flew out.

Beneath their feet, the ground was still shaking and trembling. Even the ground of the streets was bouncing up and down, as though peas being stir fried. Among the smoke and dust flying everywhere and permeating the air, apples suddenly flew everywhere — Apples from a roadside stall had even been thrown into the air.

Tan Tan grabbed one and took a bite. “Tastes pretty good.”

Then, he shoved it into Xie Danfeng’s hand.

“What happened?” The two of them calmed down instantly.

Tan Tan held Xie Danfeng in his arms and with Chu Yang right behind him, the three of them shot high up into the sky. They looked into the distance to see that Tianlan City had fallen in a chaotic mess. More than half the buildings in the city had collapsed.

The inn that the three of them were staying in was located in the most secluded area. Thus, this area wasn’t badly affected. The buildings in the vicinity stabilized after swaying a couple of times, but this inn had collapsed instead.

Toward this, all three of them were very speechless.

“Why didn’t any of the other buildings collapse, yet the place where we’re staying in did?” During a moment like this, Tan Tan was actually hung up over this issue.

Xie Danfeng rolled her eyes at him as she hid in his arms. “Is it that difficult to guess? The other buildings aren’t inns after all.”

“What’s wrong with an inn?” Tan Tan was greatly bewildered before realization dawned on him. “I see.”

A humble Chu Yang asked, “What’s the reason?” It went without saying that he was aware that this inn had fallen into disrepair after so many years. Besides, the construction and makeup of an inn were fundamentally different from a civilian’s residence… However, he wanted to know Tan Tan’s brilliant views.

“There are all kinds of people in an inn, as well as a lot of people staying here…” Tan Tan explained with utmost confidence. “There are people doing that thing everyday. As they shook and swayed, the foundation had long since become unstable… Under such tremors, it would be strange if it didn’t collapse instead!”

Chu Yang was dumbfounded! There was actually a unique reason like that?

Xie Danfeng let out a soft cry and hid her face in Tan Tan’s chest. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t dare to lift her head, her hand pinching and twisting Tan Tan again and again…

Just like that, Tan Tan shivered all over in mid-air, sucking in deep breaths as he grimaced in pain. “In this time and age, even saying a sentence of truth is a crime…”

The tremors underneath subsided slightly. Chu Yang truly didn’t wish to stay alone with this fellow anymore. If this went on, he was definitely going to suffer internal injuries because of him. He said, “Let’s go there and take a look.”

And he took the lead and flew off.

Tan Tan and his wife followed closely behind.

They sped the entire way to the epicenter of the explosion. When they reached and took a look, the two brothers were dumbfounded.

“This… seems like where the Lan Clan was…” Tan Tan’s mouth was agape. “But… where did the Lan Clan go now?”

Chu Yang stared at the debris in front of him — A large crater, a wide expanse of flatland… and that enormous fissure. Smacking his lips, he replied, “They have probably gone to heaven…”

Tan Tan nodded seriously. “It looks like they certainly have gone to heaven… But who made them go to heaven like this? This person is seriously generous! What an impressive fellow, affecting half the city in one move… Even I got to hand it to him somewhat.”

Chu Yang’s brows were deeply furrowed. He was also wondering about that. However, he already had a vague idea.

Most likely… the brothers have come up?

I remember seeing Mo Tianji secretly experimenting with fireworks and whatnot, saying that he wanted to come up with some recipe to create a powerful weapon…

When he linked the before and after occurrences, he got a pretty good grasp of what had happened at once.

This is extremely likely to be Mo Tianji’s handiwork…

Just that, since this has resulted in such a huge scene, I wonder if the brothers are safe?

Instantly, Chu Yang started to worry.

Right at this moment, a voice could be heard through the smoke above them. “Clear up the mess and wait!”

Then, with his divine consciousness, he sensed someone in the skies high above them leaving.

Chu Yang and Tan Tan exchanged a look. Tan Tan communicated to him via telepathy, “This person is the Elder Master of the Lan Clan, Lan Buhui! He’s at least a ninth-grade mid-level Supreme Martial Artist…”

Chu Yang nodded solemnly, his eyes flickering.

…

Mo Tianji laid on the bed, dressed like a hunter. There was even a piece of cyan fabric wrapped around his head. Gu Duxing was outside chopping firewood.

From this angle, the two looked purely like a pair of hunter brothers.

Mo Tianji was going over the situation in his mind — Here, they should be able to hide and wait through the situation. Most people would not be able to track them all the way here. But in the event that they do…

Xie Danqiong and the others were currently hiding in the city.

Without his command, they likely wouldn’t show themselves. Ao Xieyun was mature and steady; with him keeping Ji Mo and Luo Kedi, the two energetic ones, in check, nothing would go wrong for sure. Therefore, he could set his mind at ease with regard to them.

At present, the biggest crisis was Gu Duxing and himself.

The cogwheels in Mo Tianji’s mind spun at high speed. After a long while, he sighed. “I finally understand what it means by once you make a wrong move, every move that comes after is also wrong. Just because I made an error in the estimation of the power of the explosives, I caused myself to be injured. And then, my injuries caused us to be unable to escape far, such that we can only stay here for the time being.”

However, even though he had made advanced preparations, staying here temporarily caused them to be in much greater danger instead.

If they had followed the original plan, the two of them would already have returned to the chaos that was Tianlan City right now long ago and disappeared around the corner.

However, since they had been thrown out too far, if they were to make a detour, they would only end up attracting attention even more. As such, they could only go along with the mistake and make their way here…

“Duxing,” called out Mo Tianji.

Upon hearing him, Gu Duxing entered the hut. “What’s the matter?”

“It’s probably not safe here…” Mo Tianji went on. “Unless no one pursues us all the way here. Moreover, we also have absolute confidence that your trail won’t be followed by anyone. But there’s always an exception in everything. If someone can find their way here, this person will definitely be an ultimate expert who is using some kind of method that we cannot comprehend to follow us here… Should it really be an enemy like that, you and I will not be a match for him.”

Gu Duxing made a sound of acknowledgment with a solemn expression.

“Therefore, on the contrary, we must not stay here too long.” Mo Tianji was deep in contemplation. “It’s better that we leave as soon as possible. If we are leaving, we’ll take the same route that we took to come here… and enter the ruins of the Lan Clan and leave while taking advantage of the mess. This is the safest route at the moment. If we hadn’t traveled here, going straight into the Lan Clan would no doubt be extremely risky. But after this incident, it’s instead the safest there!”

Gu Duxing frowned lightly. “Tianji, I think you’re being too cautious… It’s not advisable for you to move about in your current condition too… Staying here temporarily is already very safe. Even if someone finds their way here, we have our disguise to act as cover.”

“I’m not blindly being cautious… I’m afraid it’s too late to leave even at this point.” A worried Mo Tianji said, “If someone finds their way here using a method which neither you nor I understand, even our disguise will only end up a joke…”

He paused for a moment before he continued. “Duxing, you must not underestimate the Nine Super Clans. For them to be able to establish their clans in times of chaos and pass down their legacy for ten thousand years, they definitely have a lot of astonishing and amazing talents among them!”

“They are just in a state of decay at the moment… That’s why they look easy to deal with. Moreover, the existence of the Nine Super Clans itself is a powerful impediment to themselves. But once they awake from their ten thousand years-old glory and revert to their style of iron-fisted martial world methods, each of the Nine Super Clans will be a very powerful enemy.”

“Therefore, it is essential that we completely destroy them using extreme measures before they come to their senses! Not giving them the chance to react is the best way!”

Right as Mo Tianji was speaking, a blue figure was already approaching on the outside without any sound or presence. He stood tall and straight outside the window of the hut.

He had a strange expression on his face.

It was Lan Buhui!
