As time slowly passed, more than half a month went by.
With this period of contraction over the past half month, the Ye Family of Blackrock City had recently disappeared from public view, with few hearing any news of them. Those who didn't understand the situation assumed that the Ye Family's Old Ancestor had encountered issues during his secluded cultivation and were waiting to see the spectacle unfold.
However, what they didn't know was that beneath this quiet and peaceful surface, elite teams were being rapidly mobilized by the Ye Family in secret.
Over the past half month, the Ye Family had almost completely depleted their Family resources, and after gathering the elite clansmen stationed in various places, they divided them into ten teams, each led by two powerful Great Dou Master from the Ye Family.
The destination of these forces was the Mo Family's stronghold, Yan City!
At this time, on the main road leading to Yan City, a convoy of about thirty people was slowly moving forward. At the very front of the team, Mo Yu rode a unicorn horse, moving slowly, with Ye Cong, the Clan Chief of the Ye Family, beside him.
Over the past half month, not only had Ye Fan recovered his strength, but Purple Fire had also successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the fourth tier with the help of the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill.
Therefore, after Mo Yu and Ye Fan discussed it, the operation to destroy the Mo Family began to quietly accelerate.
It just so happened that Mo Cheng, the Mo Family's Grand Elder, was holding his birthday celebration early. Seizing this opportunity, Mo Yu and the Ye Family discussed a plan to attack and destroy the Mo Family in one fell swoop!
Mo Yu and his team were merely the congratulatory party on the surface, but in secret, Ye Fan personally led ten elite squads, who had already quietly infiltrated Yan City, preparing to launch a pincer attack with Mo Yu and Ye Cong's team on that day.
Seeing the formidable strength displayed by the Ye Family, Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel at the deep foundations of these old Families. They had brought out more than twenty Great Dou Master experts alone, including quite a few high-tier Great Dou Master. From this, it could be seen that the Mo Family was also not to be underestimated; if Mo Yu had gone alone, even with Purple Fire's assistance, he probably wouldn't have fared well.
Yan City, located in the eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, with its wide, bustling main roads, has become the essential passage within the Empire leading to the eastern provinces. Its strategic position is excellent, and thus, this city, known as the largest in the Jia Ma Empire's eastern province, is perpetually guarded by the Empire's heavy troops.
Within Yan City, apart from the Empire's forces, the most powerful, naturally, was the target of Mo Yu and his group's journey: the Mo Family!
Due to the Mo Family's domineering monopoly, nearly sixty percent of the industries in Yan City belonged to the Mo Family. The annual profits, even after deducting necessary taxes and a large amount of wealth spent on maintaining connections, still made the Mo Family increasingly prosperous.
Although a big tree is prone to attract wind, with the Cloud Mist Sect as a colossal backer, even the Jia Ma Empire's imperial Family would not easily seek trouble with the Mo Family. Thus, the Mo Family's influence had almost become the local overlord of Yan City.
In recent years, relying on its formidable backing, the Mo Family had steadily suppressed the Four Great Families, clearly exhibiting the domineering posture of an undisputed leader.
However, all of this changed with a piece of news a month ago: the Cloud Mist Sect officially announced its severance of ties with the Mo Family!
It must be known that the Mo Family's current status was inextricably linked to the Cloud Mist Sect's support.
For some unknown reason, Yun Yun, the current Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, suddenly announced that the Cloud Mist Sect was severing all ties with the Mo Family, astonishing countless people. This also meant that from then on, the Mo Family had no more backing.
As Mo Yu had expected, a dog that loses its master only becomes more frantic.
After losing the Cloud Mist Sect as their backing, the Mo Family's conduct not only did not become restrained but instead grew even more reckless.
The reason the Mo Family held Grand Elder Mo Cheng's birthday banquet early was also to seize this opportunity to merge all surrounding forces in one fell swoop, shake off the unfavorable impact of being abandoned by the Cloud Mist Sect, and re-establish their reputation as the foremost Family in the Northeast Province.
After three days of non-stop travel, Mo Yu and his group finally gradually approached the vicinity of Yan City. As the morning sun slowly rose, the outline of a massive city, exuding a hint of fierce aura, finally appeared at the end of their sight.
That huge city in the distance resembled an ancient Vicious Beast lying prostrate.
Mo Yu and the Ye Family A group of people, followed the wide road, slowly approaching the towering, massive city in the distance.
Approaching the city gate, at the gate, dozens of fully armed soldiers stood on both sides of the city wall, their sharp gazes constantly sweeping over the passersby.
However, as a convoy from the Ye Family, one of the Four Great Families in the Northeast Province, they naturally dared not obstruct them. After a Ye Family guard revealed his identity, they were allowed to slowly proceed into the city.
"Ah, what a grand display! The Mo Family truly lives up to its reputation as the largest Family in Yan City," several men dressed as mercenaries nearby began to whisper among themselves, perhaps out of boredom, after entering the city.
"Pah, the Mo Family is so desperate to be the Cloud Mist Sect's dog, but they don't even want them. All they do is put on airs!" one mercenary scoffed.
"Are you looking for death? Keep your voice down. No matter what the Mo Family is like, crushing people like us is easy for them. Not to mention, the Mo Family's Grand Elder is holding his birthday banquet early, and many forces from this eastern region are rushing over to celebrate," another mercenary said anxiously.
"You don't understand this. I heard that the Mo Family seems to want to take this opportunity to unify the large and small forces in the eastern region. Their power will greatly increase then, so they won't have to depend on the Cloud Mist Sect anymore…"
Standing at the back of the team. Listening to the conversation between the mercenaries, Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled, "A birthday banquet that has to be rushed, the Mo Family is indeed anxious."
"With so many forces here, it seems it won't be easy for us to act," Ye Cong said, frowning slightly and hesitating.
"Heh heh, Clan Chief Ye, things have come to this, is there still room for regret? Besides, do you think all these forces are willing to be at the Mo Family's beck and call? With our two Families combined, as long as we eliminate the Mo Family, I believe the remaining forces will follow your Ye Family's lead," Mo Yu said with a faint smile.
"In that case, I'll have to thank Young Master Mo Yu," Ye Cong smiled, his hesitation immediately fading from his eyes, replaced by a hint of ambition. If his Ye Family could truly eliminate the Mo Family and take its place, then the title of the foremost Family in the Northeast Province might indeed fall into his Ye Family's hands!
With a slight smile, the convoy was about to move forward when sounds of horse hooves came from not far behind. Turning their heads, they saw several men and women riding swift horses, galloping towards them.
The dust raised along the way infuriated the surrounding people, but when their angry gazes fell upon the leading figure on horseback, their anger was immediately forced back down.
The leading rider was a young and beautiful woman, dressed in a tight-fitting red outfit that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.
The red-clad woman's speed did not decrease for the surrounding pedestrians; instead, it caused many vendors along the street to be caught off guard and topple over, their goods scattering.
"This seems to be the Mo Family's Young Miss. I saw her once when I came to the Mo Family. I heard she is greatly favored by Mo Cheng," Ye Cong said from the side.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu gazed at the retreating figure of the Young Miss on horseback, then looked towards the location of the Mo Family in the city center, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes…
I caught a cold, so I stopped updating yesterday. I'm slowly recovering.
