C44 These Are All Mine!

"The Heavenly Wolf Technique is yours? Who do you think you are? You secretly learned the Qian family's cultivation technique and have the audacity to flaunt it here?"

"If he could use the Heavenly Wolf Technique, pigs would fly."

"You're spouting nonsense."

The disciples sneered, not taking Mo Changyou's words seriously in the slightest.

Yet, in that moment, Mo Changyou began to slowly channel his cultivation technique. Suddenly, a formidable Sky Wolf apparition soared up behind him, its awe-inspiring aura dominating the area.

The Sky Wolf let out a fierce roar, causing the disciples to shiver in fear.

"Is this really the Heavenly Wolf Technique?"

Mo Changyou asked coolly, a smile playing on his lips.

The Heavenly Wolf Technique unleashed by Mo Changyou was far more potent than Qian Hai's version!

Qian Hai's Sky Wolf was merely a faint shadow, whereas Mo Changyou's was nearly tangible.

The sight dramatically altered Qian Hai's expression; he was utterly flabbergasted, as was the Third Elder.

"How can this be?"

Qian Hai couldn't believe his eyes. This was the Heavenly Wolf Technique he had developed just days ago, a cultivation technique of the Spirit Fusion Stage. He had been so sure of its uniqueness, intending to pass it on. Until now, aside from him, no one in the Qian family had mastered the Heavenly Wolf Technique.

How on earth could Mo Changyou have learned it?

Could Mo Changyou have mastered it with just a glance?

That was inconceivable!

Qian Hai's jaw dropped, and he was at a loss for words for quite some time.

The Third Elder gave Qian Hai a look of astonishment.

"Surely Qian Hai isn't considering Mo Changyou as a potential son-in-law?"

Of course, that idea was fleeting. With Mo Changyou being a Grade Nine Talent, Qian Hai wouldn't entertain such a notion.

Without Second Master Mo's influence, Mo Changyou would never have been betrothed to Qian Hongyun.

"What's happening here? How does Mo Changyou know the Heavenly Wolf Technique?" Some disciples were utterly confused. Not only did Mo Changyou possess knowledge of the Heavenly Wolf Technique, but his execution of it was even more formidable.

"Exactly. Patriarch Qian claimed he had just created this technique, so there's no way Mo Changyou could have known it. This suggests that Patriarch Qian might have secretly learned Mo Changyou's Heavenly Wolf Technique," remarked a disciple.

Mo Changyou was confidently prepared for the scene unfolding before him.

In his past life as the Heavenly Book Monarch, he had perused countless books and could effortlessly execute even more potent techniques.

With just a cursory glance, Mo Changyou could discern the workings of any technique.

"Patriarch Qian, didn't you claim that you had only recently devised the Heavenly Wolf Technique? Then how could I possibly know it? Besides, according to the Mo family's rules, stealing a technique is punishable by death," Mo Changyou said with a smile, eyeing Qian Hai before him.

Qian Hai was seething with rage.

He was certain that he was the sole creator of this technique, the only one in the entire empire who mastered it.

The situation was so bizarre and unbelievable that it left Qian Hai shaking with anger.

"This technique is my creation; I have no idea how you came to know it. But for stealing the Dragon Tiger Fist from the Qian family, you must die!" Qian Hai said through clenched teeth. If not for his remarkable composure, he would have lashed out at Mo Changyou on the spot.

"Firstly, the Heavenly Wolf Technique was originally crafted by my father, and now, I am the only one who knows it. Who else in Black Rock City, aside from my father, could so effortlessly create a Spirit Fusion Stage technique? Secondly, the ancestral edicts of the Mo family decree that those who steal techniques are to be executed. As the Third Elder of the Mo family, I trust you will honor these edicts," Qian Hai fumed, while Mo Changyou remained serene.

"You're truly exceptional," Kang Yuantian remarked from the void. Even as a Sovereign, he found Mo Changyou's statement flawless. He and Tang Nuolan had come to the Mo family intending to offer assistance, but Mo Changyou's irrefutable words left Patriarch Qian and Qian Hai speechless. The Third Elder, initially intent on executing Mo Changyou, was at a loss for action.

"His words have silenced the Third Elder, leaving the Qian family without a retort," Tang Nuolan acknowledged with a nod.

With a few simple words, Mo Changyou had swiftly earned the trust of many disciples.

"Indeed. Apart from the Second Master, who else in Black Rock City could so easily craft a Spirit Fusion Stage technique? Patriarch Qian may be formidable, but as a mere Spirit Fusion Expert, creating a technique of that caliber would be as challenging as scaling the heavens."

"Indeed, and we now have the Third Elder present. Patriarch Qian, you owe us an explanation today."

"Exactly, Patriarch Qian. The Mo family's formidable technique was taken by him, and yet he shamelessly accuses us of stealing their technique. He's utterly repulsive."

"We implore the Third Elder to administer justice!"

The crowd exclaimed in unison.

The accusation nearly knocked the wind out of Qian Hai. The technique was clearly his own creation, inspired by a chance encounter with the Sky Wolf Visualization one night.

The Third Elder, who had been seething with anger, was now visibly perplexed.

The Third Elder, who wielded authority over the Mo family, was utterly baffled. His mission had been to eliminate Mo Changyou, but now he was at a loss for what to do next.
