The hall was silent, with only the faint sound of heavy breathing breaking the stillness. 

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two young men entering slowly. 

"Xiao Yan, Mo Yu…" The First Elder, supported by family members, looked at the two faces before him, now more mature than they were two years ago, and couldn't help but tremble as he spoke. 

"Is it really you?" 

Looking at the First Elder, both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan nodded slightly. 

"It's truly Young Master Xiao Yan and Young Master Mo Yu!" 

"Young Master Xiao Yan and Young Master Mo Yu have returned! Our Xiao Clan is saved!" The Xiao Clan member supporting the First Elder looked overjoyed, almost rambling in excitement. 

Instantly, a joyful atmosphere replaced the prior despair. Some with weaker resolve even began cheering uncontrollably. 

Compared to the celebration among the Xiao Clan, the members of the Jia Lie and Ao Ba families looked like they were living in a nightmare, with Jia Lie Bi's face as pale as a ghost and his entire body ice-cold. 

"The intelligence was wrong. The Xiao Clan's Twin Dragons didn't die!" 

Recalling the recent rumors of the Xiao Clan's Twin Dragons battling the Yun Lan Sect, Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa felt a chill of regret and fear from the depths of their hearts. 

"Are you three Elders alright?" Turning his back on those with varied expressions, Xiao Yan looked at the three elders' pale faces and asked softly. 

"We're fine." The First Elder shook his head, smiling joyfully. "It's good that you two have returned. The family now has only you two to rely on." 

Mo Yu glanced around, his gaze sweeping over familiar family faces behind the three elders but not spotting his grandfather, Steward Mo. Frowning slightly, he said, "Don't worry, First Elder. These petty thugs are nothing; leave them to me." 

"Mo Yu, be careful. Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa are already five-star Da Dou Shi, and that old man was once Liu Ling's teacher, a three-grade alchemist and a six-star Da Dou Shi." The First Elder nodded but couldn't help reminding him. 

Though he had heard of Mo Yu's achievements in the Yun Lan Sect, it was hard to reconcile the elegant youth before him with the fearsome figure rumored to have fought against Yun Shan. 

"Don't worry, First Elder. Cousin Mo Yu can handle it." Xiao Yan, noticing the doubt on the First Elder's face, smiled. 

He had seen Mo Yu in action. Although he wasn't sure if Mo Yu could unleash the terrifying power he'd used in his battle with Yun Shan at will, based on Mo Yu's strength alone, he had no trouble defeating Yun Lan Sect's Dou Ling Elder. Facing Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa would be even easier. 

Smiling and nodding, Mo Yu slowly turned to Jia Lie Bi, his expression icy. "It's been two years, yet the two clan leaders are as bold as ever. Who gave you the courage to humiliate my Xiao Clan?" 

Staring at Mo Yu, his face still showing traces of youthful features from two years ago, Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa couldn't help but shiver, swallowing hard. "Heh, Nephew Mo Yu, we never expected to see you again." 

"This… today's matter was a misunderstanding. We only came because we heard the Xiao Clan encountered some trouble. You know we have a few business ties with the Xiao Clan. Naturally, we had to come and check on things when we heard about any issues." 

Recalling Mo Yu's fearsome reputation, both men spoke hastily, cursing the person who had spread false news behind the scenes. 

"Oh, really?" 

Mo Yu sneered, recalling their previous words. It was likely someone had falsely claimed his and Xiao Yan's deaths, luring these two families to act. 

The mastermind might be the Yun Lan Sect, or perhaps even the Hall of Souls. 

Behind the Hall of Souls stood the Hun Clan. Although the Hun Clan was powerful enough to crush the Xiao Clan as easily as an ant, with the Gu Clan's balance of power, the Hun Clan couldn't openly attack the Xiao Clan. 

However, using the Jia Lie and Ao Ba families as pawns was an effortless move. 

Since the Xiao Clan had been kind to him since his rebirth, Mo Yu wouldn't show mercy to these foolish families. 

Raising his head slightly, Mo Yu's silver eyes were like sharp blades as he fixed his gaze coldly on Ao Ba Pa and Jia Lie Bi. In the silent hall, a faint thud sounded, and suddenly, violent crimson lightning surged out of Mo Yu's body. In an instant, the hall's temperature and electric charge skyrocketed. The Xiao Clan members nearby quickly retreated. 

"No more words are needed. Today, none of you are leaving." With crimson lightning coiling around his body, Mo Yu's voice was cold as ice. 

Seeing the crimson lightning erupt from Mo Yu, Ao Ba Pa, Jia Lie Bi, and the three-grade alchemist backed away in terror. 

"Nephew Mo Yu, don't misunderstand. We have no ill intentions toward the Xiao Clan. Today's incident is just a misunderstanding, and we'll leave immediately!" Ao Ba Pa's voice trembled with fear, raising a hand to signal his men to gather and slowly withdraw. 

"Elder Mo! Don't let him go! In the past two days, they injured many of our family members; some even..." 

Seeing the retreating invaders, the impatient Third Elder couldn't hold back any longer. 

Hearing the title of Elder again, Mo Yu knew the Xiao Clan high ranks were likely using this title to win him over, having learned of his accomplishments. 

However, Mo Yu remained indifferent. If the Xiao Clan were still the legendary Xiao Clan of ten thousand years ago, the title of Elder would indeed be precious, but now… 

Watching the fleeing Jia Lie Bi, Ao Ba Pa, and the three-grade alchemist, whose face was livid, Mo Yu showed no reaction. 

Though he feared Mo Yu's reputation, as an alchemist, his pride wouldn't allow him to leave like a frightened dog. He gritted his teeth, shouting, "Stop! The Xiao Clan is now a shadow of its former self, and you're all cowering before a mere youngster. How can you show your face in Wu Tan City after this?" 

Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa froze at the alchemist's words. However, just as they hesitated, a piercing scream echoed in the hall. 

The two looked back, horrified, to see the alchemist engulfed in purple flames. The flames rose as he screamed in agony. 

Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the hall, the alchemist's body burned rapidly until, within seconds, not even his bones remained. 

The alchemist's horrific end made everyone's throat tighten. When they looked at the source of the purple flame, terror filled their eyes. 

A massive beast, five or six meters in length, had appeared in the hall. Its powerful aura and purple flames made it look like a terrifying creature from the depths of hell. 

A fourth-tier magical beast—the Amethyst Winged Lion King! 

Looking at the beast in terror, a name that could make anyone collapse with fear emerged in Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa's minds. 

"Nephew Mo Yu, we'll take our leave. Today's incident was a misunderstanding." They offered trembling bows to Mo Yu, who sat silently in his chair, unable to suppress their terror as they left, already planning to pack up and flee Wu Tan City. 

Mo Yu's indifferent gaze followed their panicked retreat. Finally, he gave a gentle wave, his calm voice rousing excitement in all the Xiao Clan members. 

"Leave no one alive." 

At his words, the Amethyst Winged Lion, eager for action, roared and charged the allied forces of both families, while the hall doors slammed shut. Outside, screams began to echo. 

Inside the vast hall, silence fell again as the Xiao Clan members listened to the cries outside, each clenching their fists in satisfaction. 

As Mo Yu's magical pet, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had been training inside its beast ring and, after consuming the mysterious beast corpse in the small valley, had grown strong enough to rival even a seven or eight-star Dou Ling. 

Outside, the screams ceased within a minute, and the Xiao Clan members' gazes once again fell on Mo Yu's silent figure, now filled with fervent admiration. 

"Elder Mo Yu." The First Elder stepped forward, breaking the silence. 

"Elder? Just call me Mo Yu. I don't deserve the title of Elder." Mo Yu rose, turning to smile. 

Seeing that familiar handsome face now free of its previous murderous intent, the First Elder was briefly stunned, then nodded with a smile. "Half a month ago, the family's higher-ups unanimously decided to appoint you as Elder and Xiao Yan as Young Clan Leader. I hope you won't refuse." 

"Very well." Mo Yu didn't decline the Xiao Clan's goodwill. 

The First Elder looked gratified as Mo Yu accepted, glancing over to see Xiao Yan taking out pills to treat the injured family members. 

Under the reverent eyes of the Xiao Clan members, Mo Yu recalled his Amethyst Winged Lion to the beast ring, suddenly remembering something. "First Elder, where is everyone? And my grandfather?" 

At his words, the First Elder's expression froze, and the Second and Third Elders looked uncomfortable. 

Sensing something wrong, Mo Yu frowned. "What happened?" 

"The clan members have been relocated to the back mountain, where powerful family members guard them." 

"But Steward Mo…" The First Elder's face darkened, his fists clenched, making Mo Yu's sense of dread deepen. 

"Three nights ago, the Xiao Clan suffered its worst blow." 

"It was deep in the night, a time when the Xiao Clan's defenses were at their weakest. Three mysterious figures, cloaked in black robes, descended from the sky unexpectedly. Though they didn't harm anyone directly, they left the Xiao Clan in utter disarray." 

"Their destruction shook the entire clan. The Clan Head was furious and led the Xiao Clan's strongest to intercept them. However, the power of the intruders was terrifying. We three Elders couldn't withstand even a single move from the leader of the black-robed trio. We could sense they were holding back; otherwise, none of us would have survived that blow." The First Elder's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head. 

"Mysterious assailants? What happened to my grandfather?" Mo Yu's gaze locked onto the three elders, his usually handsome face contorted, his voice now hoarse. 

Upon hearing this, the faces of the three elders turned ashen with bitterness. 

"Grandfather wasn't in the rear mountains?" Mo Yu's face twisted into something fearsome as he looked at the three elders, their expressions steeped in sorrow. Suddenly, he stood up, his voice resonating with a chilling intensity, as if it came from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds: "What exactly happened?" 

"When those three mysterious attackers seized the Clan Head, Steward Mo was caught up in the battle. Though the intruders restrained themselves, Steward Mo, having no Dou Qi and already advanced in age, couldn't withstand the aftershocks of the battle. 

"Even though we used the clan's best healing medicines, they were ineffective. Steward Mo succumbed to his injuries two days ago..." 

The First Elder's cautious words acted like a trigger, making Mo Yu's heart explode like a volcano. 

Recalling his grandfather's care since his rebirth, the elder's kind and gentle face surfaced in Mo Yu's mind. He closed his reddened eyes slowly, and a tear slipped from the corner. 

After a while, he wiped the tear away. His tightly shut silver eyes opened abruptly, and a chilling, murderous aura surged from within him. With a slight lift of his head, his usually handsome and calm face was now twisted with ferocity and madness. 

"Yun Lan Sect… damn you! Damn you!"
