The crisp clash of arrows and blades echoed outside the Mo Clan's hall, accompanied by the explosive collision of Dou Qi. Amid the battle sounds, the fierce roars of magical beasts could also be heard, causing confusion among the guests inside.
A Mo Clan fighter rushed in, reporting urgently: "Patriarch, Grand Elder, someone is attacking us!"
Everyone was stunned. The Mo Clan, renowned as the most powerful in the east, being attacked at its very heart?
The crowd turned toward Mo Yu, who had previously vowed to leave no survivors of the Mo Clan. Now, it seemed the attack was no coincidence. Mo Cheng's expression darkened, realizing this was a deliberate plot. He said coldly to Mo Lan, "Take care of things here. I'll go check outside."
Before he could act, a fireball shot into the hall, blasting several guards away and destroying the entrance. A terrifying magical beast—five to six meters long—came into view.
"That's... the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"
The onlookers were terrified. The beast, radiating purple flames, resembled a fourth-tier version of the mighty sixth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"What power!" gasped Ge Ye. "Even the Yun Lan Sect only keeps third-tier beasts—and they aren't used in battle."
Nalan Yanran turned her gaze toward Mo Yu, who remained calm amid the chaos. She began to suspect this youth had a larger role in the unfolding events.
Outside the hall, Ye Cong exhaled in relief. If the reinforcements hadn't arrived, he might not have survived this far.
Mo Cheng, now uneasy, demanded, "Who dares attack us? The Mo Clan has never wronged you. Why bring this disaster upon us?"
A chuckling voice interrupted him: "Mo Cheng, can't you recognize my voice?"
The crowd gasped as an elderly figure emerged from behind the beast—Ye Fan. His appearance shocked everyone, as rumors claimed he had been gravely injured and in seclusion. Now, standing here with a fourth-tier beast, Ye Fan had clearly recovered.
Mo Cheng snarled, "Ye Fan, do you intend to start a blood feud with us?"
Ye Fan smiled lightly. "I made a promise, and I always keep my word."
Mo Cheng sneered, glancing at Mo Yu. "So, you are helping this outcast? If you hand him over now, we can avoid further conflict."
Ye Fan laughed. "Even if I wanted to, the beast at my side wouldn't agree." He then turned to Mo Yu. "Your pet is impressive! Without it, I wouldn't have broken through the Mo Clan's defenses."
The revelation left the crowd in shock. A fourth-tier magical beast as Mo Yu's pet? Such a feat was unprecedented in the Jia Ma Empire.
Nalan Yanran stared in disbelief. A beast of this level was comparable to a Dou Ling. Even she couldn't command such power.
Curious, Nalan Yanran asked Ge Ye, "What's Mo Yu's connection to the Mo Clan?"
Ge Ye frowned in thought. "If his father is Mo Jingyun, I know a bit of the story... And he's also related to Xiao Yan—his cousin."
"Xiao Yan?" Nalan Yanran murmured. Hearing the name stirred emotions in her heart, reminding her of the three-year challenge she had issued to him.
Seeing Mo Yu's power, Nalan Yanran realized the upcoming duel with Xiao Yan might not be as simple as she had initially believed. Read full story at novelꜰire.net
Meanwhile, Mo Cheng, realizing the beast belonged to Mo Yu, struggled to contain his fury. "Ye Fan, if you withdraw now and help us kill this beast, I'll grant your clan ten cities west of East Orchid City."
The guests gasped at Mo Cheng's offer. Ten cities—half of the Mo Clan's assets—was a steep price. Yet they understood his desperation; if the attack continued, the Mo Clan might not survive.
Ye Fan hesitated briefly, tempted by the offer. However, he soon shook his head. He wasn't motivated by loyalty to Mo Yu alone, but he knew defeating the beast would be no easier than destroying the Mo Clan.
Mo Yu smiled, knowing Ye Fan's choice. His beast, although newly advanced to the fourth tier, was already as powerful as a Five-Star Dou Ling. After consuming the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill, it had successfully evolved, and Mo Yu had even fed it two bottles of Amethyst Crystal Essence, ensuring its immense power.
The Amethyst Crystal Essence contained pure energy from the original beast's body. If Zi Huo could fully consume it after advancing to the fourth tier, it could have reached the fifth tier directly.
However, to subdue the beast, Mo Yu had used one of the six bottles of Amethyst Crystal Essence. Fearing that a quick breakthrough might cause Zi Huo to hibernate again, he only allowed it to absorb two more bottles. Despite using just a third of the energy, Zi Huo's power already far surpassed that of an ordinary fourth-tier magical beast. Even if Ye Fan and Mo Cheng joined forces, they wouldn't easily defeat it.
With such a powerful pet, Mo Yu had the confidence to ally with the Ye Clan, knowing they wouldn't betray him easily.
When Ye Fan declined Mo Cheng's offer, the latter's expression darkened. "So, the Ye Clan thinks they can devour us whole!" Mo Cheng sneered maliciously. "Good, good! It seems people have forgotten my power. I'll make you pay, Ye Fan!"
His eyes filled with cruelty, Mo Cheng turned to Mo Lan. "Kill that brat immediately! I don't want to hear any more failures!" With that, Mo Cheng charged toward Ye Fan.
Mo Lan nodded gravely. As the clan leader, he knew the dire situation they faced, all because of a boy not even twenty years old. Glaring at Mo Yu and the advancing Ye Clan forces, Mo Lan shouted angrily, "Kill them all!"
Mo Clan disciples, emboldened by their leader's order, charged toward Mo Yu and the Ye Clan fighters. Though usually arrogant due to their clan's prestige, they were now fighting for survival, determined to defend their home.
"Be careful, Mo Yu. I'll assign some men to protect you," Ye Cong warned, sensing the imminent battle. Though Mo Cheng was kept busy by Ye Fan and Zi Huo, a full-scale fight was inevitable.
Mo Yu nodded with a smile. "No need to worry, Clan Leader. Just hold them off. Once Grandpa Ye and Zi Huo finish off Mo Cheng, victory will be ours."
Ye Cong nodded thoughtfully, keeping a close eye on both the battlefield and Mo Cheng's confrontation.
Despite Mo Cheng's strength as a Five-Star Dou Ling, Ye Fan—newly advanced to Four-Star Dou Ling after repairing his Sixfold Grand Void Sword—fought evenly. His exceptional swordsmanship, combined with Zi Huo's support, gradually overwhelmed Mo Cheng.
Mo Clan members grew increasingly anxious. If Mo Cheng fell, their clan would be doomed. Mo Lan, filled with dread, couldn't believe that the Mo Clan, the strongest in the east, was being brought to ruin by such young opponents.
"Kill Mo Yu!" Mo Lan ordered coldly, shifting his strategy. If they could eliminate Mo Yu, Zi Huo might leave, and without its help, Ye Fan would stand no chance against Mo Cheng.
Without hesitation, Mo Lan personally charged toward Mo Yu.
But just as he was about to strike, Ye Cong blocked his path with a chuckle. "Isn't it unfair for you to bully a junior like that, Clan Leader?"
Mo Lan's gaze turned wary. Ye Cong, an Eight-Star Da Dou Shi, wasn't an opponent to take lightly.
"Hmph! Stopping me alone won't save him. The Mo Clan has more experts than you can handle!" Mo Lan declared, though he knew that defeating Ye Cong wouldn't be easy.
Ye Cong smiled. "I just need to keep you busy. As for the others... Mo Yu can handle them."
Mo Lan frowned. If Mo Yu's only asset was his fourth-tier pet, the boy wouldn't pose much of a threat. But judging by Ye Cong's confidence, there was more to Mo Yu than met the eye.
Meanwhile, several Mo Clan experts broke through the Ye Clan's defenses and rushed toward Mo Yu. Among them were three low-level Da Dou Shi and ten formidable Dou Shi fighters—enough to overwhelm even a high-level Da Dou Shi.
To everyone's surprise, however, Mo Yu didn't budge.
Just as the attackers closed in, Mo Yu smiled and raised his hands. Intricate seals formed in the air as he performed a mysterious soul technique.
Suddenly, a powerful soul force surged through the hall, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"Spiraling Soul Imprint!"
Before the Mo Clan fighters could react, a devastating soul shock invaded their minds. The overwhelming force rendered them helpless, causing them to collapse silently, like lambs to the slaughter.
The onlookers gasped in disbelief, stunned by the ease with which Mo Yu had neutralized such powerful opponents.
