The New Patriarch

After the injured were taken away, the ring was quickly cleared.

Those people who plotted things would definitely have to be punished accordingly, but that was all afterward. Before that, the battle for the position of Patriarch would continue.

Mo Ruyi was still standing on the ring, waiting for everyone's challenge.

After a few battles, her strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now many people felt that it was not impossible for Mo Ruyi to be the head of the family.

The declining Mo Family needed a strong Patriarch.

It stood to reason that letting Mo Xiu be the master of the house was the best choice, but Mo Xiu looked down on this position and did not want to be, so he could only let Mo Ruyi be the master of the family. Who made Mo Ruyi the most powerful besides Mo Xiu.

Of course, this was only temporary.

There must be people who wanted to challenge Mo Ruyi. Only when she lasted till the end without being defeated by anyone, could Mo Ruyi be called the most powerful person in the Mo Family except Mo Xiu.

After seeing Mo Ruyi's powerful strength, many people who originally wanted to challenge Mo Ruyi retreated, but some still didn't plan to give up.

One after another, some people stepped onto the ring to challenge Mo Ruyi, but they were all Core Formation cultivators. The people who cultivated in the Foundation Building Realm were still self-aware and didn't waste time going up.

Among the Core Formation Realm warriors who challenged Mo Ruyi, some were members of the Mo Family of collateral lines, and some were worshippers of the Mo Family, but they were defeated by Mo Ruyi effortlessly.

At this time, everyone was more aware of Mo Ruyi's power.

Obviously, she only a 9th level of Foundation Building Realm cultivator who had not broken through to the Core Formation Realm, nor had she temporarily increased her strength with the help of the Storm Pill, but she could still sweep a lot of Core Formation Realm masters. It was estimated that few people could be her opponent.

As a result, everyone was even more not opposed to letting Mo Ruyi be the head of the Mo Family.

...

Mo Ruyi looked at everyone in the audience and slowly said, "Who else wants to challenge me?"

Everyone in the audience had the attitude of "I look at you, you look at me", but no one came forward.

Just when Mo Ruyi thought that the battle for the position of Patriarch was about to end, a path rapidly emerged from the crowd, and soon a figure fell on the ring.

"Third Uncle." Mo Ruyi looked at the challenger, and the person was the Third Master of the Mo Family, Mo Miao.

Before, Mo Miao said that he would try to challenge, Mo Ruyi also heard about it, but she thought Mo Miao was ready to give up after seeing her strength, but he couldn't help but challenge her in the end.

Not long ago, Mo Miao would not take Mo Ruyi seriously.

But now, he knew Mo Ruyi was no longer the same.

Even if he didn't look at Mo Ruyi's own powerful strength, he didn't dare to do anything else as Mo Xiu was the backer behind Mo Ruyi.

He looked at Mo Ruyi with a smile on his face and said. "Ruyi, I didn't expect that the position of Patriarch will eventually evolve into a battle between the two of us."

Mo Ruyi nodded lightly, "I didn't expect it either."

"Let's just make a bet." Mo Miao suddenly proposed, "If I beat you, the position of Patriarch is mine. You must not think about the position of Patriarch anymore, and you must join me to lead the Mo Family to a new rise, and if I lose to you, you will be the Patriarch of the Mo Family. From then on, I will follow you. What do you think?"

"Not to follow my words, but to follow Mo Xiu's words." Mo Ruyi corrected.

"What about your opinion?" Mo Miao asked.

"Good." Mo Ruyi nodded, "Since you dare to challenge, you must've been prepared. Use all your methods, and I will take it all."

"Okay, then I'm not welcome."

As Mo Miao said, he took out a Storm Pill from his sleeve, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it. His aura rose several times in an instant.

After that, he drew a treasured blade, triggered the Purple Jade Spirit Sutra, and injected the True Energy into the treasured blade. (A/N: Before, I used "True Essence Power", now I changed it to "True Energy".)

The "Purple Jade Spirit Sutra" was the inheritance technique of the Mo Family, it was also a Spiritual Level technique that only the head of the Mo Family could practice.

After the news of Mo Zhuo's death came back, Mo Hong did not know how to obtain the "Purple Jade Spirit Sutra".

Later, Mo Hong asked Mo Miao to cooperate and jointly deal with Mo Xiu. Mo Miao's condition was that Mo Hong had to surrender the "Purple Jade Spirit Sutra".

At that time, in order to deal with Mo Xiu, Mo Hong was considered to have paid his blood and agreed to Mo Miao's request, so Mo Miao was also able to practice Purple Jade Spirit Sutra.

The blade in Mo Miao's hand was not an ordinary blade, but a Spiritual Level weapon. It was accidentally obtained from his travels in the world. It had always been in his treasury and rarely used it. Therefore, few people know that he had a Spiritual Level tool.

In addition, his cultivation base had reached the 6th level of Core Formation Realm, and since he also took the Storm Pill, it increased his combat power several times.

At this time, he could indeed be called the strongest among all challengers, and even he thought it was not difficult to defeat Mo Ruyi with this strength.

As for the side effects of the Storm Pill, he didn't care much anyway, anyway, as long as he could become the head of the Mo Family, so what if his strength dropped sharply, it was not something unacceptable for him.

In any case, he must finish his work and take the position of Patriarch from Mo Ruyi.

Mo Ruyi naturally felt that Mo Miao was not easy, but she did not back down, on the contrary, she was high in fighting spirit.

"Sky Blade Third Form, Grey Wolf Slash!"

Mo Miao yelled violently. His whole person seemed to be transformed into a grey wolf, whizzing towards Mo Ruyi.

"Woo..."

There was also a wolf howl faintly from the blade.

The onlookers who were cultivators turned their True Energy to resist, and ordinary people who had no cultivation skills were so scared that they fell to the ground, and what's more, blood was flowing from both ears.

Mo Ruyi's expression was a little more solemn, and instead of retreating, she moved forward, waving the Moon Shadow Sword to greet him.

"Break!"

After a whisper, the Moon Shadow Sword promptly burst into light and swallowed Mo Miao all at once.

In the blink of an eye, everyone heard a loud "boom".

Mo Ruyi held the Moon Shadow Sword and backed two or three steps in a row, but Mo Miao flew out with the blade in his hand and fell to the bottom of the ring.

In the ring, the ground cracked, showing how fierce the collision was just now.

Everyone in the audience was also dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the two of them could burst out with such a powerful force, let alone that Mo Ruyi would be able to blast Mo Miao flying under such circumstances.

After a while, Mo Miao seemed to react and stood firmly with the blade's support. He immediately looked at Mo Ruyi on the ring and said, "Was that a sword technique just now?"

"Yes," Mo Ruyi nodded.

What she displayed was the sword skill that Mo Xiu had taught her before. It was called the Six-Character Sword Art. Because she had just mastered it, she was not very proficient. She thought she had no chance to use it this time, but she didn't expect to be forced to use it in the end.

Mo Miao didn't ask what the name of the sword technique was, but asked, "Did Mo Xiu teach it to you?"

"Yes." Mo Ruyi nodded again.

Mo Miao looked at the Moon Shadow Sword in Mo Ruyi's hand.

Mo Ruyi knew it, and without waiting for Mo Miao's question, she proactively said, "This sword is called Moon Shadow Sword, and it was given to me by Xiu."

"Haha…" Mo Miao laughed suddenly, but his face was a little hard to look at.

No wonder he would be blasted off. After all, he was not lost to Mo Ruyi, but to Mo Xiu.

After he thought about it again, with Mo Xiu sparing no effort to support Mo Ruyi, it was hard for this girl to lose.

Fortunately, he was full of confidence before, thinking that he had a chance to defeat Mo Ruyi, and even took the Storm Pill to improve his combat power. Now it seemed that it was just his wishful thinking.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said to Mo Ruyi on the ring, "You have won. From now on, you will be the head of the Mo Family. I will follow you and Mo Xiu's words. I hope you can lead the Mo Family out of difficulties and will make it rise again soon."

...

Before, Mo Xiu arbitrarily selected Mo Ruyi as the head of the family, but no one was convinced by Mo Ruyi.

After this battle, Mo Ruyi's strength was revealed in front of everyone, so everyone was finally convinced, and recognized Mo Ruyi to be the head of the family.

The candidate for the head of the Mo Family was officially determined.

Since the death of the last Patriarch Mo Zhuo, the competition for power within the Mo Family had been very chaotic like a vegetable market. The position of Patriarch had been vacant for a long time, which had also caused turmoil within the family, making the strength of the Mo Family decline again and again.

Now, the Mo family finally had a Patriarch, although the person who became the Patriarch was not a child of the Mo Family with the blood of the Mo Family, it was better than nothing, and the members of the Mo Family could finally unite and work together.

After being recognized as the head of the Mo Family, Mo Ruyi also began to get busy.

First of all, there were still many problems within the Mo Family to be resolved. Secondly, there was an urgent need to make changes in foreign operations and diplomatic relations. Thirdly, she had to deal with the upcoming liquidation of the new emperor.

If Mo Miao were to be the head of the Mo Family, at least he would have more experience, after all, Mo Miao was partly responsible for the family's affairs before this.

Mo Ruyi had not been in charge of any family affairs, had no experience, so everything had to be started from scratch, and all needed to be learned, so it was relatively tiring.

Fortunately, Mo Miao could assist Mo Ruyi and share some of the burdens. When Mo Ruyi had some things she didn't understand, Mo Miao would also teach her with patience.

Coupled with Mo Ruyi's own powerful strength as a deterrent, few people dared to act against this "evil" power. Some people even took the initiative to find Mo Ruyi as they wanted to become Mo Ruyi's confidant, and desperately wanted to help Mo Ruyi make suggestions, so a series of things were dealt with. There was no major problem.

...

In Sun Martial City, the news that Mo Ruyi became the head of the Mo Family had spread, and all major families had received the news too.

Ning Rujian was silent for a while, and soon came to the conclusion: "That Mo Ruyi probably cultivated some kind of advanced technique."

"Advanced technique?" The confidant who reported the news felt a little puzzled.

"Yes, at least higher than the Spiritual Level, otherwise, it would be impossible for the 9th level Foundation Realm cultivator to have such a powerful strength." Ning Rujian was very sure.

"A technique higher than the Spiritual Level?" The confidant was surprised, "Where did Mo Ruyi come from?"

"Not that reason. It's Mo Xiu! It must have been given to her by Mo Xiu!" Ning Rujian said without thinking, "Only Mo Xiu can give such a high-level technique, and Mo Ruyi's rising cultivation base was also something that Mo Xiu took part in, but I still believe that at least 80% of it was also Mo Xiu's doing."

"Mo Ruyi's rising cultivation is also Mo Xiu's doing?" His confidant was shocked, "How come that Mo Xiu is so terrifying?"

"I don't know." Ning Rujian shook his head slightly, looking a bit distressed.

Mo Xiu was naturally Mo Xiu, the son of Mo Zhuo, the Eldest Young Master of the Mo Family. But various signs indicated that there was still an identity behind Mo Xiu, and it was an extraordinary identity naturally.

"With the Mo Family and Mo Xiu, the Mo Family will soon re-emerge, and the Ning Family may be crushed again." Ning Rujian sighed.

...

Not only the Ning Family, but the Liu Family and the Jiang Family had the same concerns.

The people of the Zheng Family and the Guo Family were even a little frightened, always worried that Mo Xiu would lead the Mo Family to kill them and destroy their mansion.

But soon, a mysterious person quietly came to the Sun Martial City and visited the five great families. The five great families that had been panicking all day quickly settled down.

Clouds gathered over the Mo Family's mansion, and heavy rain was approaching.
