Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1131: Chapter 451: Da Niu’s Whereabouts

Mo Ji’s wife and child seem to have been left with nothing.

At the end of last year, Mo Ji’s wife suddenly fell seriously ill, and Mo Ji went missing. Mo Daniu, only thirteen, was left with no one to depend on, so the wife invited her family to help take care of him.

Soon after, the wife and Mo Daniu were taken away by her eldest brother.

A little over a month later, the Hu Family brought Mo Daniu back, sold all his properties, and then disappeared.

The wife’s surname was Hu.

It is said that Hu Family’s wife had already passed away.

The suspicion of being left with nothing was a conclusion drawn by someone Xu Jin found.

So Xu Jin decided to go take a look around.

If Mo Daniu is being well-cared for, then it’s fine, but if it truly was being left with nothing...

Then Xu Jin might have to take drastic measures!

The Hu Family in Mei Province Hechi County isn’t very hard to inquire about.

Originally a small household, they suddenly became rich in the past year, buying properties and even purchasing a large mansion in the county city. Furthermore, Hu Ye, the head of the Hu Family, was fortunate enough to become a Ninth Grade minor official in the county city.

Although he was a Ninth Grade minor official, for ordinary folk, this was undoubtedly a huge step up in social class, even an immense leap in status.

After Xu Jin arrived at the Hu Family residence and searched around, he didn’t find a trace of Mo Daniu.

While in Danfeng County, Xu Jin had already asked neighbors through Warm Dream for a description of Mo Daniu.

A living person, how could he not be found?

Without hesitating, Xu Jin made everyone in the Hu residence fall into a slumber using Warm Dream since Hu Ye was not home.

He questioned each one about the whereabouts of Mo Daniu.

After some questioning, he got a general outline of the events.

In December last year, the Hu Family’s married daughter was gravely ill, and soon after being brought back, she passed away.

A month later, the old master of the Hu Family also passed away.

Another month after that, the Hu Family suddenly became rich.

By March this year, Hu Ye had become an official, and until May, Mo Daniu was staying at the Hu Family, posing as a young master from a maternal side.

But one day in May, Mo Daniu disappeared, allegedly went missing.

Hu Ye searched for a day without success, reported to the government, and then nothing followed.

In addition, there were some rumors.

For instance, before his death, Hu’s old master had cursed Hu Ye, Mo Daniu’s uncle, calling him a beast!

Xu Jin understood somewhat.

Indeed, they were left with nothing.

But the key to Mo Daniu’s whereabouts lies with this Hu Ye.

Xu Jin quietly waited; an hour later, when Hu Ye, returning home from work, just walked in, he was dumbfounded.

Everyone in the Hu household lay asleep on the ground.

As he was about to cry out in alarm, he suddenly felt his head grow heavy and drowsily fell asleep!

But only half a moment into his sleep, in his dream, Hu Ye let out a piercing scream.

Yet this scream, shrouded in starlight, could not travel outside at all.

Sold!

Mo Daniu had actually been sold off to human traffickers by his own uncle!

As for the reason for selling, it’s simple: Hu Ye said in his dream that his nephew was too clever, already knowing too much at his young age.

Keeping him around now would only lead to trouble later.

Better to deal with it sooner rather than later!

Even his own sister was watched die of sickness after being brought back by him.

The reason, well, upon seeing those numerous land deeds and field deeds!

Even his father was angered to death by him.

Xu Jin was speechless.

How could there be such a malicious uncle in this world?

Since ancient times, no one is more important than one’s uncle, who should be a nephew’s support.

Yet unexpectedly, he turned into a life-threatening tiger.

Not only seizing lands, but now also aiming to eliminate his nephew.

Xu Jin had never seen such a vicious uncle.

In a fit of rage, he enveloped the place with starlight, isolating it from the outside, and tortured the brute in any way Xu Jin could think of, before finally ending his life.

As for the other members of the Hu Mansion, they hadn’t done anything evil.

So Xu Jin simply left.

Xu Jin had more important things to do, he had to find that human trafficker.

Mo Ji’s bloodline, if alive, must be seen in person, if dead, then they must recover the corpse!

Luckily, this Hu Ye didn’t have a broad network. When selling Mo Daniu, he contacted a local child trafficker.

After an hour, Xu Jin found this child trafficker.

With Xu Jin’s current means, as long as there were distinguishing features and a set area of activity, finding a person wasn’t difficult.

Interrogating an ordinary person was even easier.

When Xu Jin found this child trafficker, he was already mentally prepared for the worst, but after some questioning, he found that the situation wasn’t the worst possible.

This child trafficker was specialized in the Mei State region, trafficking people regardless of age or gender; as long as someone was selling, they would accept.

And had been doing it for many years.

Not only had he been doing it for many years, but the people he sold were being sent to a fixed reception location.

Deep in Mei Mountain, there was a Luomei Manor that had been buying up people in large numbers, saying they needed them to reclaim wastelands?

If that was indeed the case, then the chances of Mo Daniu surviving were still high.

A fourteen-year-old boy was already able to do physical labor and thus was valuable.

With value, he wouldn’t die!

On the evening of September 2, Xu Jin went directly to Luomei Manor deep in Mei Mountain, bringing along the child trafficker.

"Is this the place?"

Xu Jin pointed at the manor before him and activated the Mingji Star Pattern.

The child trafficker, already terrified, nodded repeatedly upon Xu Jin’s inquiry.
