In the hall, a fierce killing intent radiated from Mo Yu, causing everyone to freeze in terror, their eyes fixed on his handsome yet twisted face, not daring to utter a single sound.
"Elder Mo… are you saying that the three mysterious figures were from Yun Lan Sect?" the First Elder asked in a low voice, his expression somewhat grim.
A glint of icy light flashed in Mo Yu's silver eyes as his expression gradually calmed, though the killing intent within him only grew stronger.
Nodding slightly, Mo Yu responded with an icy tone, "There's no mistake—it was Yun Lan Sect."
Mo Yu remembered clearly: in the original storyline, Yun Leng had used this time to secretly strike against the Xiao Clan. His grandfather's death could very well be connected to Yun Leng.
"So… what does Elder Mo plan to do?" The First Elder let out a bitter sigh, feeling helpless before the mighty power that was Yun Lan Sect.
"Yun Leng must die. And Yun Lan Sect will no longer exist!" Mo Yu's voice was chilling.
This blood debt must be repaid in blood. Though Mo Yu's soul had transmigrated, and he shared no real blood ties with Steward Mo, in his heart, he had long considered him as his grandfather. He could not let this grudge go unavenged.
With a sigh, the First Elder and the others fell silent as they watched Mo Yu, his face filled with killing intent.
"First Elder, my father was taken away?" Beside them, Xiao Yan rushed over, his expression twisting in fury, grabbing the First Elder by his robe as he asked, "My father has been captured, and Steward Mo has passed away?"
"Young Clan Leader, the Clan Head… is indeed missing," the First Elder said with a sorrowful expression.
"Though we're not certain of his exact situation, we can confirm that he is at least not in immediate danger."
As he spoke, the First Elder carefully retrieved a simple, ancient box from his robes. Opening it, he revealed a jade tablet with a green glow at its center, where a tiny light dot moved as if alive.
Holding the jade up for inspection, the First Elder let out a sigh of relief and murmured, "This jade tablet was left by the Xiao Clan's ancestors. Every Clan Head leaves a trace of their soul within it. If the Clan Head dies, the light would vanish. Seeing that it remains strong, he's likely not in life-threatening peril."
The First Elder's words allowed Xiao Yan a measure of relief as he took the jade tablet and gently touched it.
Mo Yu's gaze shifted to the jade tablet as well. Observing it briefly, he recognized it as the key to unlocking the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, left behind by the Xiao Clan's former ancestors—the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.
However, Mo Yu held little interest in the jade. He had his own ways of breaking through to the Dou Di stage.
Right now, he only wanted to kill Yun Leng, destroy Yun Lan Sect, and avenge his grandfather.
"Can it tell me where my father is?" Xiao Yan asked in a cold tone.
"No, it cannot," the First Elder shook his head.
Xiao Yan pursed his lips, his gaze turning to the young man beside him, whose body radiated a deep, chilling intent. In a steady voice, he said, "Cousin Mo Yu, I deeply regret the passing of Steward Mo."
"Though we cannot bring the dead back to life, considering the decades Steward Mo dedicated to the clan, as Young Clan Leader, I request that his memorial tablet be placed in the clan's ancestral hall, beside my grandfather's."
At Xiao Yan's words, the elders exchanged looks of surprise.
The Xiao Clan's ancestral hall was reserved for generations of outstanding clan members; even ordinary Xiao Clan members rarely received such an honor. Now, an outsider's tablet was to be placed next to the former Clan Head's?
However, they quickly understood: Steward Mo's status had changed—his grandson Mo Yu was now a pillar of the clan.
The First Elder, who might have argued in favor of tradition, swallowed his objections.
Secretly, they admired Xiao Yan's wisdom. With such a Young Clan Leader, the clan's future indeed seemed bright.
Mo Yu was also slightly surprised by Xiao Yan's gesture. He understood that this was likely out of respect for him; otherwise, his grandfather's years of hard work wouldn't have been enough to earn a place in the Xiao Clan's ancestral hall.
Having served the Xiao Clan for decades, his grandfather's soul resting in the ancestral hall was a fitting tribute.
"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Yan," Mo Yu said, looking at the young man who seemed to have matured suddenly.
Faced with his father's disappearance, Xiao Yan, once somewhat naïve, had already begun to display the aura of a true leader.
"Think nothing of it, Cousin Mo Yu. Steward Mo watched me grow up; his death pains me as well," Xiao Yan replied, his voice heavy with grief.
"Rest assured, I'll handle Grandfather's revenge myself," Mo Yu's silver eyes gleamed with cold determination.
"Yun Lan Sect, huh?" Xiao Yan was curious about Mo Yu's certainty but didn't question it.
"Cousin Mo Yu, take me with you for revenge! Yun Lan Sect may be powerful, but I don't fear them. Besides, they kidnapped my father—this matter cannot go unpunished!" Xiao Yan's voice grew cold.
Mo Yu furrowed his brow slightly, recalling that while Yun Leng had abducted Xiao Zhan, the Hall of Souls had intercepted him midway.
Thus, even if they destroyed Yun Lan Sect, retrieving Xiao Zhan would be impossible.
A flash of killing intent toward the Hun Clan rose in Mo Yu's heart. Although his grandfather's death was at Yun Leng's hands, the Hun Clan's behind-the-scenes manipulation had contributed to these events. Once he reached his peak, the Hun Clan would be annihilated!
Returning to the present, Mo Yu knew he couldn't tell Xiao Yan about the Hun Clan, as it would only complicate things.
Moreover, he was certain that the Hun Clan wouldn't kill Xiao Zhan—not until they found the Ancient Emperor Jade.
After a moment of contemplation, Mo Yu nodded. Beside him, the First Elder said, "Elder Mo, Young Clan Leader, I'm not sure of that mysterious person's position in Yun Lan Sect, but given his strength, it must be high, right?"
"His status is likely second only to the Sect Leader and a few others."
"I see," the First Elder sighed, "Previously, you two challenged Yun Lan Sect because of the three-year agreement, but you didn't cause much harm to their high-ranking members. Killing this mysterious person, however, would make the relationship with Yun Lan Sect irreconcilable."
Seeing Mo Yu's furrowed brow, the First Elder quickly added, "Please, don't misunderstand."
The First Elder forced a bitter smile and continued, "I only want to remind Elder Mo and the Young Clan Leader that if you truly kill that man, relations between our clan and Yun Lan Sect will be beyond repair, and the clan's position…"
Before he could finish, Xiao Yan interrupted, "Steward Mo's death must be avenged, and my father must be found. As for the clan…"
After a brief pause, Xiao Yan said, "The clan should disperse and relocate to Rock Desert City in the empire's east. The area is controlled by the Snake-People Tribe, and Yun Lan Sect's influence cannot reach there. My two brothers have already established themselves in that area, so the clan won't have to suffer on the road."
The First Elder's eyes lit up at Xiao Yan's suggestion. He knew Xiao Ding and Xiao Li well. Though they didn't quite measure up to Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, they were capable in their own right.
Mo Yu also nodded in admiration. In such a short time, Xiao Yan had managed to stabilize the clan and form a cohesive plan. His capabilities and resolve were indeed exceptional.
Once their discussion ended, Xiao Yan, as the Young Clan Leader, began issuing orders himself.
In just half a day, Xiao Yan led the clan's strongest to raid the properties of the Jia Lie and Oba clans, gathering a vast fortune and systematically arranging for clan members to evacuate to Rock Desert City.
Meanwhile, Mo Yu remained quietly in the ancestral hall, gazing silently at his grandfather's tablet, a faint yet terrifying killing intent surrounding him.
When a knock on the door came, Mo Yu finally opened his eyes. His silver pupils now gleamed blood-red. In a hoarse, deadly tone, he muttered, "Yun Leng of Yun Lan Sect, you're next. None of you will escape Grandfather's vengeance."
After three heavy kowtows to the tablet, Mo Yu turned and left the ancestral hall. The night had fallen, and the Xiao Clan was ready to depart.
"Young Clan Leader, Elder Mo, we await you in Rock Desert City!"
"Young Clan Leader, Elder Mo, take care!"
Dozens of Xiao Clan warriors shouted in unison before disappearing into the dark shadows, sneaking out of Wu Tan City like scattered ants under the dark night sky.
Standing on the platform, Mo Yu gazed at the now-silent courtyard, his spirit growing ever colder.
Turning to the busy Xiao Yan, Mo Yu said, "Let's go, Cousin Xiao Yan. Now, let us tear Yun Lan Sect apart!"
