Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 572 - A Single Thought

The following day arrived and Mo Fan alongside his men headed to where they left Ren. Upon arriving it was as they expected, Ren was still asleep and his body was unharmed. Usually, the blood and dead bodies would've attracted some of the demon beasts in the area, but with Ren present none of them dared to get close.

Even though they had already calmed down from yesterday's events it was still a little unnerving to see it again. It wasn't like this was their first time witnessing a massacre, as it was normal in the upper planes to have conflicts, the rise and fall of clans and sect happens every other day, yet for some reason, this scene was more frightening than any of their past experiences.

It wasn't that what they saw was the most brutal or even the most kills, but the feeling Ren gave them as he killed those people. It wasn't just an elephant stepping on an ant, it was something more, it was something different.

Despite the fear that was enveloping him, Mo Fan approached the unconscious Ren and once again carried him. When the others saw that Ren did not attack they felt relieved. The group then continued on their journey towards the Teleportation array.

It only took the group a few hours to reach the teleportation array and after paying for its usage they directly teleported to the nearest Teleportation Array near Swallow City. From there it took another hour before they finally reached their destination.

...

Swallow City was classified as a mid-tier city and had many Clans in it. The top Clans within the city were the three Clans, the Mo Clan, the Xue Clan, and the Teng Clan. Each of these clans had a Nascent Soul Stage expert protecting them. Yet even then the Mo Clan was considered the strongest since their Ancestor was a Fourth Realm Nascent Soul Stage fighter, stronger than the Ancestors of the other two clans by one stage.

The level of technology the city had was a mix of old and new. Unlike Ren's world where they already had trains and cars, this one still uses horses and wild beasts as their mode of transportation. Still, the wild beasts in this world were faster than even the fastest cars in the lower realms.

There were also flying ships in this world but the energy they use was different, and not only can these flying ships fly through the sky but the better ones could actually jump through dimensions.

Also even though this was supposedly a higher plane of existence than the lower realm, the number of cultivators, Gods, World Deities, was lower than the number of mortal men and women. The difference between Ren and the other mortals here was that Ren ascended from the lower realm with his own power, while the mortals here were born in the higher planes.

...

Mo Fan and the others were just outside the city but were unsure if they should go in or not. They truly wanted to quickly head back to the Clan but they were afraid that something might happen before they reach the place.

Swallow city wasn't that large a place compared to other mid-tier cities, but they were many people in it, and Mo Fan was unsure if someone might accidentally provoke the sleeping Ren. Even if they don't directly provoke him, what if Ren felt an inkling of killing intent and reflexively kill that person.

"We'll stay outside, for now, Mo Ye you head back first and inform them of our current predicament."

"Leave it to me." Mo Ye left with a smile on his face, he felt relieved since he could finally escape from the frightening man that was asleep.

...

A few hours later Mo Ye returned alongside five others. These men were pillars of the Mo Clan, the Patriarch, and the four elders. The only one missing in the line-up was the Ancestor who was currently in close door cultivation.

Seeing the leaders of the Mo Clan present Mo Fan and his group quickly knelt on the ground.

"Greeting Patriarch! Greetings First, Second, Third, and Fourth Elder!" The group spoke in unison.

"So is that the person I've heard so much about?" The Patriarch asked as he looked at the unconscious Ren.

"Yes, Patriarch." Mo Fan quickly answered.

The Patriarch and the four Elders looked at Ren curiously. After a quick probe, they were surprised to learn that Ren was gathering so much Qi into his body even while sleeping. Not to mention that Ren's body was still that of a mortal, it hasn't even gone through the body forging stage.

"Did he really singlehandedly kill a Sand Dragon nearing adulthood?" The First Elder asked quite curious about Ren's background.

"Yes, First Elder, me and my men have all seen it happen."

"Is this true?"

"Yes." Mo Fan's group responded all at once.

"This boy has obviously some kind of secret within his body, to be able to gather so much Qi while still being a mortal."

The Fourth Elder spoke while looking at Ren with a hint of desire in his eyes. If they could figure out what Ren's secret was the Mo Clan would surely rise into greatness. For just a brief second, the Fourth Elder had thought of killing Ren and stealing whatever treasures he had. He just emitted a tiny bit of killing intent for that single second, and it was enough to trigger Ren's reflexes.

Ren disappeared from his previous spot and appeared before the Fourth Elder. Everyone was surprised as Ren's hands were about to reach the Fourth Elder's head. Mo Fan and the others, who had already witnessed what would happen if Ren touches the Fourth Elder's head shouted.

"Dodge!"

The Fourth Elder was quick to react and was able to dodge the incoming hand. The other Elders also moved at that time and tried to restrain Ren's body. They all used a sealing spell to stop Ren's movements, but to their surprise even with their combined might they could barely stop Ren.

"What's happening?! Why is he attacking me?!" The Fourth Elder shouted as he helped the other Elders in restraining Ren.
