In the spacious hall, Mo Yu slowly walked in, led by a Ye Family attendant.
After bringing Mo Yu in, the Ye Family attendant bowed and withdrew. At the same time, an aged but imposing voice resounded in the hall.
"This Old Master Ye Fan welcomes Young Master Mo Yu to the Ye Family as a guest."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu immediately looked towards the center of the hall, only to see an unhealthy-looking old man slowly approaching. Behind him was Ye Cong, the Clan Chief of the Ye Family.
Seeing this, Mo Yu immediately understood the old man's identity: Old Ancestor of the Ye Family, Ye Fan, a Three-Star Dou Ling powerhouse who was also the Family's stabilizing force.
Sensing the old man's weak Aura, it seemed the damage to the Six Harmony Taixu Sword had caused him considerable harm.
"Heh heh, greetings, Old Master Ye and Clan Chief Ye Cong." Even in front of a Dou Ling powerhouse, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged, a relaxed smile on his face.
A Dou Ling's strength was indeed formidable, but that was a Dou Ling at their peak. Given the current condition of the Ye Family's Old Ancestor, it was hard to say how much of his strength he could exert.
Moreover, what if he was at his peak? For Mo Yu, who possessed the Purple Cloud Wings, if he couldn't win, he could just run. At worst, the Ye Family would be added to his blacklist.
Seeing Mo Yu's unperturbed demeanor, a sharp glint flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes. Mo Yu's behavior was either foolish arrogance, confidence in his own strength, or backed by a powerful force.
And could a young man who could use their Ye Family as a blade against the Mo Family be a fool?
Thinking of this, Ye Fan's aged face softened slightly, and he said with a smile, "A few days ago, I heard about Young Master Mo Yu from Ye Cong. Seeing you today, you truly are a Dragon among men."
Beside him, Ye Cong also nodded with a smile. Having personally exchanged blows with Mo Yu, he clearly knew the young man's terrifying nature; that powerful Soul Power left him helpless.
Hearing Ye Fan's flattery, Mo Yu smiled indifferently. If he truly believed such an old fox, he might be sold off without even realizing it.
"The conditions I mentioned a few days ago, I wonder how the Ye Family has considered them?" Mo Yu narrowed his eyes and went straight to the point.
Seeing Mo Yu directly broach the topic, Ye Fan's old face stiffened slightly, then he looked at the composed young man before him. Although he looked young, he wasn't easy to fool.
"Young Master Mo Yu, are you truly confident you can repair this Old Master's Six Harmony Taixu Sword?" Ye Fan asked with some trepidation.
The Six Harmony Taixu Sword was something he had accidentally obtained in his youth while traveling in an Empire that revered the Sword Dao. At the same time, he also acquired a fragmented secret technique of 'Imperial Sword Technique'.
It was with the Six Harmony Taixu Sword and this incomplete Imperial Sword Technique that he was able to establish his reputation in the Northeast Province and build the vast foundation of the Ye Family.
Unfortunately, Imperial Sword Technique emphasized a close connection between the Master and the treasured sword. If the treasured sword was damaged, the Master would also be injured. Coupled with the fact that he Cultivated an incomplete scroll, he couldn't nourish the severely damaged treasured sword on his own. Therefore, he had rarely used the Six Harmony Taixu Sword in recent years.
However, a year ago, an old enemy from his youth suddenly showed up. The opponent, relying on his Four-Star Dou Ling strength, came to provoke him. In the ensuing conflict, Ye Fan successfully killed him with the Six Harmony Taixu Sword, but the sword itself suffered heavy damage, and his own injuries worsened as well.
To be able to slay a Four-Star Dou Ling with a Three-Star Dou Ling, this incomplete Imperial Sword Technique was indeed powerful, but the after-effects also gave Ye Fan a massive headache. If the Six Harmony Taixu Sword wasn't repaired soon, he might perish prematurely because of it.
Looking at the old man's hopeful gaze, Mo Yu took out his Divine Might Black Lightning Spear and said indifferently, "This spear was personally refined by me. Do you think I can repair your Six Harmony Taixu Sword?"
Hearing is one thing, seeing is another. Witnessing the imposing long spear in Mo Yu's hand, a hint of joy and surprise flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.
The joy was that his Six Harmony Taixu Sword could finally be repaired. Not only because of the treasured sword's repair, his own injuries would also gradually improve, but also because the Six Harmony Taixu Sword had accompanied him for most of his life, and his feelings for it were no less than for his own son.
The surprise was that Mo Yu, at such a young age, could forge a weapon of such quality. His future prospects were bound to be limitless.
Slowly reining in his expression, Ye Fan reverted to his cunning old self, and said with some hesitation, "Young Master Mo Yu's condition is to join forces with my Ye Family to eliminate the Mo Family. However, even if I recover my full strength, I may not be a match for Old Man Mo Cheng.
Ye Cong told me that Young Master Mo Yu knew in advance that the Cloud Mist Sect would sever ties with the Mo Family. I wonder if Young Master Mo Yu has some connection with the Cloud Mist Sect? Can you borrow some personnel, or perhaps have your Master personally intervene and ally with my Ye Family? That would also increase our chances of success."
Hearing Ye Fan's 'kind' suggestions, Mo Yu couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This old scoundrel, at this moment, was still trying to gain all the advantages without putting in any effort.
His relationship was close with Yun Yun, not with the Cloud Mist Sect. If he could mobilize the Cloud Mist Sect's forces, or if his non-existent Master could act, what would he need their Ye Family for?
Shaking his head, Mo Yu coldly said, "It seems Old Master Ye Fan is still unaware of the Ye Family's predicament. I heard the Mo Family has recently been inviting friendly forces, preparing to form an alliance."
Hearing this, Ye Fan and Ye Cong exchanged glances, then Ye Cong spoke, "There is such a rumor, but since the Cloud Mist Sect has expelled the Mo Family from its subordinate territory, it's unlikely many other forces will respond to this alliance, right?"
Shaking his head, Mo Yu scoffed at Ye Cong's naive idea, "A cornered dog will only become more frenzied. In my opinion, the Mo Family will not only not stop their idea of forming an alliance, but will accelerate it. Only then can they rapidly expand their own strength after losing the Cloud Mist Sect's protection, in order to maintain their position as the number one Family in the Northeast Province.
When the Mo Family establishes the Mo Alliance, and the other two of the Four Great Families, the Qin Family and the Wang Family, who have intermarried for generations, can be said to be a united offensive and defensive alliance. Once that time comes, how will the Ye Family stand alone? Will they join the alliance and be gradually swallowed by the Mo Family, or resist alone and be used as an example to warn others?"
Hearing the bloody scenario described by Mo Yu, Ye Fan and Ye Cong immediately felt a chill run down their spines, looking at the young man before them as if he were a devil.
They didn't know why Mo Yu, who looked to be less than twenty years old, could imagine things so far ahead, and what the young man said was not groundless worry.
Moreover, the reality was even more severe than Mo Yu described. The Ye Family's pillar, Ye Fan, was now critically injured and on the verge of death. If the Mo Family were to launch an attack, they might not even have room to resist.
In just a few words, Mo Yu seemed to have cornered the Ye Family, leaving them with no other choice.
As the strongest and most ambitious of the Four Great Families, the Mo Family, and the currently weakest Ye Family, it seemed they ultimately could not coexist.
Slowly closing his eyes, after a long moment, Ye Fan's old eyes suddenly opened, a sharp glint flashing within them. He looked solemnly at the young man and said, "My Ye Family agrees to Young Master Mo Yu's conditions!"
