Chapter 1472
Simultaneously, the gazes of all the people present swiveled towards the middle-aged seller. Their
faces showed perplexity, surprise and doubt. They couldn''t wrap their heads around the fact that the
legendary genius, Moore, and the person in front of them was one and the same.
Moore stood straight and looked Raleigh in the eye firmly. In a low tone, he spoke, "Since you
recognized me, there''s no need for me to hide anymore."
"As you happen to be from the Chiang family, I will kill you today ahead of time. I will have my
revenge for what happened in the past." Moore exuded an unadulterated air of majesty, brimming
with vigor, as he readied himself tounch an attack on him.
Right at that moment, Raleigh sneered coolly. Meeting Moore''s gaze, he asked, "Do you think that
my presence here is a mere coincidence, Moore?"
"What do you mean?" The look on his face darkened.
The corners of his lips quirked up in a mocking grin. "My meaning? It''s that this whole operation was
nned just for you."
As he finished speaking, he pped his hands together. A figure stepped out from behind him.
The person was a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his mid- forties. His expression was
resolute and cold. He looked somewhat handsome, but when viewed from a different angle, there
was a huge scar marring the other side of his face.
"Moore Chen, do you remember me?" The man with the scar on his face fixed his gaze on him. His
voice was extremely raspy, to the point where it hurt to listen to.
When Moore saw the man, he could not disguise the shock and fury that flitted across his face.
"Harold, it''s you."
"Yes, it''s none other than me!" Harold Chiang eximed, rage written all over his features. ring
at Moore, he gnashed his teeth and said, "Moore, I''ve been carrying around my hatred for you and
what you did in the past for twenty years. Now, I''ll return all of it to you."
"You were hiding like a mouse for so long. Finally, now, I''ve forced you out of your mousehole," he
uttered, looking ferocious.

Moore was taken aback at that. He asked in surprise, "You were the one who nned this entire
operation?"
Harold gave a strangeugh. With a re loaded with hatred in Moore''s direction, he answered,
"Yes. This operation, this whole trip to excavate the Dragon Mausoleum, it was just a ruse by the
Chiang family! This scheme was naturally to force you out and give you your just desserts."
"You guys... Actually..." Moore''s expression grew a shade darker as he eximed in surprise.
The people around them were even more astonished. They could not believe what was happening
before their eyes. Was it a dream?
At that, Harold smugly continued, "Moore, you only obtained half of the cultivation technique from
the Dragon Mausoleum. Even then, your growth was astounding, but that wasn''t enough! You''re still
stuck in the Earth Level, unable to achieve the Heaven Level nor be a Martial Arts Master."
"Because of Daisy and your child, I knew that you would be filled with thoughts of revenge on the
Chiang family. You wouldn''t pass up any chance to hone your abilities."
"As such, when I heard that the Dragon Mausoleum was likely to resurface, I instantly sent
someone to probe around. After that, I deliberately spread the news about the Dragon Mausoleum
resurfacing, making sure to stress that there were cultivation methods among the treasures inside."
"I knew with certainty that when you heard this, with your heart full of vengeance, you would
definitelye to the Dragon Mausoleum to look for the other half of the cultivation technique."
"That leads us to this! By the time you''ve gotten it, I would already have you surrounded with no
escape route."
"Now that you know all of this, what do you think?" Looking vengeful, Harold directed the question
to Moore.
When Moore heard the full story, his face fell.
As much as he didn''t want to admit it, it was a fact that Harold had seen through him. This n to
capture him was a sess.
There were two Heaven Level martial artists, Raleigh and Harold. Plus, Eamon and the other
members of the hidden family were there as backup. Moore, who had been running for twentyodd
years, found himself without a way out.
With that in mind, he couldn''t repress a long sigh. Then, all the doubt, shock and fear in his eyes
were washed away, reced with a resolute determination.
His gaze bore into Harold and Raleigh intensely, and his body seemed to radiate energy, like the
waves of a rolling sea. Loudly, Moore dered, "It''s been twenty years. It''s been long enough. Let''s
end it right here."
"Indeed, it''s way past time to conclude it. However, your death is certain." Harold gnashed his teeth
with a vengeful look.
Raleigh waved his hand,manding the Chiang family''s subordinates to surround Moore and
attack him.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out; the atmosphere in the field grew particrly tense.
At that moment, Moore took a package out and threw it towards Fade. In a soft voice, he muttered,
"Young man, our meeting was a blessing. This package contains the other half of the cultivation
technique from the Dragon Mausoleum, and the techniques collected by me over many years."
"Your strength ismendable, and you have great potential. This isn''t where you should die.
When the battle starts, take this and run with all your might. Don''t look back."
"Master Chen, I..." Fade seemed like he had something to say to Moore.
However, Moore''s anxious instructions cut him off. "There''s no need for pleasantries or anything
else. If I survive today, it will be a miracle. Take it and leave. I don''t need you to take revenge on my
behalf after you''ve mastered these techniques. My only hope is that in the future, you''ll find my wife
and daughter and take good care of them, if that chance arises."
With those words, determination swept across Moore''s features. An explosive burst of energy
charged from his body, directly towards Harold and Raleigh.
At the same time, he shouted at Fade, "Quick, run!"
In an instant, the battle had broken out. Moore, at the peak of the Earth level, was a force to be
reckoned with when he unleashed all his energy. It was as if a terrifying storm had descended on
the area.
Harold, opposite him, remained rooted to the spot. Conversely, he snickered and with a wave of his
hand, summoned a dark blue surge of energy.
Mid-air, the energy condensed into a thin, sharp de. It hurtled down from the air and struck
Moore''s energy waves, then dissipated.
The impact also affected Moore himself. A trickle of blood seeped out of his mouth. His body
swayed to and fro, and his expression turned ugly instantly. "You..." "Although Earth Level is just
one level below Heaven, there''s still a huge gap to bridge. Do you get that?" Smirking, Harold
summoned another energy sword with a wave of his hand, and shed it at him.
The terrifying power of the sword was felt keenly by Moore. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed more of
his energy to block Harold''s attack. As he did so, he shouted at Fade, "I can''t hold on for much
longer. Run!"
