"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
...
Outside the Mo Family's main hall, the crisp sounds of bows and arrows clashing with swords and spears, and the booming explosions of Dou Qi colliding with Dou Qi, continuously echoed from outside.
Interspersed with these fierce battle sounds were also the roars of Demonic Beasts with extraordinary Aura.
Hearing the sudden outbreak of fighting, many guests present had question marks on their faces. Could it be that someone was attacking the Mo Family with such a terrifying display?
"Grand Elder, Clan Chief, this is bad! Someone is attacking our Mo Family!"
A Mo Family expert rushed into the main hall and reported anxiously to Mo Cheng and other high-ranking Mo Family members above.
Upon hearing this, everyone present, whether guests or Mo Family members, was utterly shocked.
As the number one Family in the eastern region, the Mo Family's strength and prestige were both top-notch. For them to be attacked in their own stronghold now truly made people feel as if the sun had risen from the west.
At this moment, they couldn't help but turn their gaze to Mo Yu. The young man had just declared that he would leave no one alive in the Mo Family, and shortly after, the Mo Family was under a large-scale attack. It seemed he had planned this all along.
Mo Cheng's mood sank, and his expression immediately turned exceedingly grim. He cast a cold glance at Mo Yu and Ye Cong, then said to Mo Lan, "I'll leave this place to you. I'm going out to see."
"Boom!"
No sooner had Mo Cheng finished speaking than a fireball suddenly flew in from outside, blasting several Mo Family experts guarding the entrance away.
The gate was destroyed, revealing the view outside, where a terrifying Demonic Beast, five or six meters long, immediately appeared in everyone's sight.
"This is... the Amethyst Winged Lion King!?"
Some people cried out in shock and fear upon seeing Purple Fire. Having already advanced to Rank 4, Purple Fire's size and Aura already possessed some of the divine charm of his father, the Rank 6 Amethyst Winged Lion King.
It was no wonder that seeing such a terrifying and extraordinary Demonic Beast in a human city was utterly astonishing.
"This is... a Rank 4 Demonic Beast?" Ge Ye exclaimed in a low voice, his face filled with shock as he gazed at the suddenly appearing Purple Fire.
What power was attacking the Mo Family that could even dispatch a Rank 4 Demonic Beast? One must know that in the Cloud Mist Sect, the highest Rank Demonic Beast they kept was only Rank 3, and it was not used for combat but for the convenience of high-ranking Sect members when traveling.
A hint of solemnity appeared on Nalan Yanran's beautiful face. She then turned her gaze to the calm young man in green robes beside her. She vaguely felt that all of this seemed to be related to him.
On the other side, Ye Cong also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Purple Fire's figure. If his own people didn't break in soon, he might have to explain himself here first.
"Your Excellency, who exactly are you? My Mo Family seems to have never offended you, so why bother our Mo Family? You must know, my Mo Family..." The appearance of the Rank 4 Demonic Beast also caused Mo Cheng's heart to sink sharply. A sense of unease gradually enveloped his heart as he loudly declared.
"Haha, Mo Cheng, can't you even recognize my voice anymore?" A loud laugh interrupted Mo Cheng's words. At the same time, an aged figure slowly walked out from behind Purple Fire.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing that figure, Mo Cheng's expression immediately changed, then turned extremely grim, his tone mixed with immense rage.
"Ye Fan, you old fossil, what are you trying to do? Are you going to fight my Mo Family to the death?"
Upon seeing this figure appear, everyone in the hall also showed expressions of surprise.
In this eastern region, Ye Fan's reputation was not much inferior to Mo Cheng's. In fact, if not for the support of the Cloud Mist Sect, the Family led by Mo Cheng might not necessarily have surpassed the Ye Family where Ye Fan resided.
Now, Ye Fan had personally led his forces to attack the Mo Family. It seemed that the Ye and Mo Families were truly going to engage in a bloody battle.
What made people curious, however, was that it was rumored that Ye Fan was seriously injured and in seclusion. Yet, here he was, standing vibrant and alive, and even possessing a Rank 4 Demonic Beast?
On the other side, seeing Mo Cheng's bitter and resentful expression, Ye Fan chuckled, "This old man isn't doing anything, just fulfilling a promise made to someone else."
Hearing this, Mo Cheng frowned, then looked at Mo Yu, sneering disdainfully, "A Bloodline expelled by my Mo Family is actually worth your Ye Family going to such great lengths to curry favor with.
Ye Fan, you're truly living backward. If you retreat today and hand this child over to me, I guarantee to let bygones be bygones. How about it?" Mo Cheng couldn't fathom the Ye Family's intentions for a moment and spoke evasively.
"Haha, Mo Cheng, you're trying to put this old man in a position of injustice and disloyalty. Besides, even if this old man agreed, this big fellow beside me wouldn't agree."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he laughed heartily at Mo Yu, "Little Brother Mo Yu, your Demonic Beast is truly powerful. Without it, this old man alone probably couldn't break through the Mo Family's fortress, which is like a turtle shell."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall were stunned.
This Rank 4 Demonic Beast was actually Mo Yu's... Demonic Beast?
On the Fighting Qi Continent, because there were no special contracts, even some powerful forces could not equip their Family disciples with powerful Demonic Beast companions.
Therefore, Mo Yu, who possessed a Rank 4 Demonic Beast at such a young age, was something unheard of in the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years.
Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes also stared at Mo Yu in surprise. Possessing a Rank 4 Demonic Beast as a Demonic Beast was something even she couldn't do. Demonic Beasts of this Rank were already comparable to human Dou Ling experts, enough to stand at the top tier of the Empire.
"Uncle Ge, what is the relationship between Mo Yu and the Mo Family?" Nalan Yanran looked at the young man in green robes, slightly tilted her head, and whispered to Ge Ye.
Hearing this, Ge Ye frowned, then pondered, "If Mo Jingyun is his father, then I do know some inside information..."
After explaining the relationship between Mo Yu and the Mo Family, Ge Ye finally added, "Xiao Yan, who broke off the engagement with you, is his cousin. Previously, the 'xiao family double dragons' referred to Mo Yu and Xiao Yan."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes blinked. She hadn't expected such a connection.
"Xiao Yan..." Hearing this name again, Nalan Yanran's usually calm heart couldn't help but ripple. This young man, who had broken off the engagement with her and made a three-year pact, had indeed left a deep impression on her heart.
Thinking of the three-year pact, and seeing Mo Yu, who was ranked alongside Xiao Yan as the xiao family double dragons, Nalan Yanran also felt a hint of solemnity in her heart. Perhaps the competition a year later would not be as easily resolved as she had expected.
However, at this moment, she noticed another thing: this Mo Yu also had the surname Mo and was related to the Mo Family. Could it be...
"Damn it, this Rank 4 Demonic Beast actually belongs to this little bastard!" Hearing Ye Fan's words, Mo Cheng finally understood why the Ye Family was willing to ally with this young, inexperienced brat to attack their Mo Family.
Although he didn't understand how Mo Yu, at such a young age, possessed a Rank 4 Demonic Beast, Mo Cheng still suppressed his anger and said, "Ye Fan, my Mo Family is not so easy to destroy.
As long as you stop now and join forces with me to kill this Rank 4 Demonic Beast, I will give the Ye Family ten cities west of Donglan City. How about it?" Ten cities' businesses, this was almost half of the Mo Family's entire assets. Once ceded, not to mention forming the Mo Alliance, it was uncertain whether the Mo Family could even maintain its status as one of the Four Great Families. Upon hearing Mo Cheng's generous offer, everyone present gasped.
However, upon closer thought, they all admired Mo Cheng's decisive move.
The Ye Family was currently aggressive, and with this terrifying Rank 4 Demonic Beast, the Mo Family might really be wiped out. It was better to settle for second best, preserve the Mo Family's Origin Qi first, and then rise again.
At this moment, they all looked at Ye Fan, wondering what choice he would make?
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's heart also stirred. As long as these ten cities were assimilated, his Ye Family's power would surely surge, and it might even be possible to replace the Mo Family relatively peacefully.
However, he immediately shook his head, not because of his integrity towards Mo Yu, nor because of the mysterious Master behind the young man, but because he didn't think that joining forces with Mo Cheng to eliminate this Rank 4 Demonic Beast would be simpler than eliminating the Mo Family.
Seeing this, Mo Yu predictably showed a smile.
Although Purple Fire had just advanced to Rank 4 at this time, its strength was actually not inferior to that of an ordinary Five-Star Dou Ling!
Half a month after consuming that Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill, Purple Fire successfully advanced. After that, Mo Yu gave it two more bottles of accompanying purple crystal source.
This accompanying purple crystal source contained extremely pure energy from the old beast's body. Originally, as long as Purple Fire advanced to Rank 4 and then consumed the accompanying purple crystal source, it could directly Break through to Rank 5.
Unfortunately, at that time, Mo Yu had used up one of the six bottles of accompanying purple crystal source to subdue Purple Fire. Additionally, Mo Yu was also afraid that Purple Fire would Break through to Rank 5 too quickly and then fall into a long slumber, so he only gave it two bottles to consume.
Although it only consumed one-third of the accompanying purple crystal source, Purple Fire's current strength was far from comparable to a Demonic Beast that had just advanced to Rank 4. Even if Ye Fan and Mo Cheng joined forces, they might not be able to do anything to Purple Fire.
Holding such a powerful Demonic Beast, this was one of the important reasons why Mo Yu dared to ally with the Ye Family and was not afraid of the latter turning hostile.
Seeing Ye Fan refuse, Mo Cheng's old face immediately showed an extremely grim expression. The Ye Family's attitude clearly showed that they were determined to devour the Mo Family!
"Good, good, good. It seems that 'Executioner Mo' hasn't made a move for a long time, and people have forgotten this old man's strength. Ye Fan, I will make you pay the price!"
Mo Cheng spat out these vicious words, then looked at Mo Lan and said, "Quickly kill that little bastard! I don't want to hear about failure!"
After speaking, Mo Cheng directly charged at Ye Fan.
Hearing the Grand Elder's words, Mo Lan's expression also became solemn as he nodded. As the Clan Chief, he naturally knew what dangerous situation the Mo Family was in, and all of this was brought about by a young man under twenty.
"Mo Family members, kill these invading enemies for me!" Mo Lan roared in anger, staring intently at Mo Yu and the Ye Family enemies who were constantly rushing in from outside.
Hearing the Clan Chief's command, the surrounding Mo Family disciples exchanged glances. They usually acted arrogantly, relying on their Family's prestige, and had never imagined being attacked in their own home. Now that they were being bullied, they naturally became ruthless and charged at Mo Yu and the Ye Family members.
"A big battle is coming, Mo Yu, be careful later. I'll send some people to protect you." Seeing this scene, Ye Cong knew that the true decisive battle with the Mo Family had arrived. Although Mo Cheng had been held back by their Old Ancestor and that Rank 4 Demonic Beast, they still had to fight hard now.
"Mm, Clan Chief Ye, you don't have to worry about me. Just hold them off for now. Once Old Master Ye and Purple Fire deal with Mo Cheng, victory will be decided." Mo Yu nodded and chuckled softly.
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Ye Cong also nodded, carefully observing the situation in the hall while keeping an eye on the battlefield outside the gate.
Mo Cheng had already engaged in battle with the combination of Ye Fan and Purple Fire. Although Mo Cheng was a Five-Star Dou Ling expert, after Ye Fan's Six Harmony Taixu Sword was repaired, he used it to Breakthrough to a Four-Star Dou Ling. Coupled with his extraordinary swordsmanship, facing a Five-Star Dou Ling like Mo Cheng was not a problem.
Furthermore, with Purple Fire, a tank and fire-attacking archer, assisting in the battle, Mo Cheng began to gradually lose ground after only a brief engagement.
Seeing this scene, the Mo Family members immediately became anxious. If the Grand Elder was defeated, then their Mo Family would truly be finished!
Mo Lan was also extremely worried and fearful at this moment. Before today, who could have imagined that the Mo Family, the number one Family in the eastern region, would face such a formidable enemy!
"Mo Family members, quickly kill Mo Yu for me!"
With a ruthless expression, Mo Lan directly shifted his focus to Mo Yu. The Rank 4 Demonic Beast was Mo Yu's Demonic Beast. As long as the young man was killed, perhaps this Demonic Beast, which didn't possess much intelligence, would leave on its own. At that time, without the help of the Rank 4 Demonic Beast, Ye Fan would also not be a match for their Grand Elder.
After speaking, Mo Lan stopped wasting words and personally took action, charging at Mo Yu.
"Heh heh, Clan Chief Mo, isn't it bad to bully the young?" Just as Mo Lan was about to make a move, Ye Cong suddenly walked up to him with a chuckle, blocking his path.
"Hmph, Ye Cong, if you want to protect that brat, stopping just me isn't enough. My Mo Family can be at the head of the Four Great Families; the number of experts we have is not something your Ye Family can compare to!"
Seeing Ye Cong blocking him, a hint of apprehension also appeared in Mo Lan's eyes. With the opponent's strength as an Eight-Star Great Dou Master, it wouldn't be easy for him to win.
"I only need to deal with Clan Chief Mo. As for the others, I believe that fellow Mo Yu will take care of them." Ye Cong chuckled. Having personally witnessed Mo Yu's strength, he naturally knew the young man's powerful methods.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Mo Lan frowned. He thought that Mo Yu's alliance with the Ye Family relied solely on that Rank 4 Demonic Beast, but now it seemed that wasn't entirely the case.
But how powerful could a young man be?
As he was thinking this, many Mo Family experts on the side had already broken through the Ye Family's formation and charged at Mo Yu. These people even included three low-Rank Great Dou Master and ten powerful Dou Shi experts.
Facing such powerful combat strength, even a high-Rank Great Dou Master would avoid their Edge (sharp edge). However, to everyone's surprise, the young man in the hall remained completely still.
Just when everyone thought Mo Yu was scared silly, a smile appeared on the young man's lips. He lightly raised his hands, then quickly formed a series of complex, strange, yet incredibly profound Soul Seals.
As the Soul Seals appeared, a powerful Soul Power immediately surged within the hall, causing everyone present to change color.
"Spiral Soul Seal!"
The next moment, those Mo Family experts who had charged within five meters of the young man, after taking another step, a powerful Soul impact, suddenly and incredibly strangely and forcefully, rushed into their minds. Under the erosion of this powerful Soul Power, these people were like lambs, utterly defenseless, and finally fell silently and directly.
Seeing this scene, everyone present gasped in cold air...
