Within the Xiahou Clan, Xiahou Zhen was instructing some clansmen and disciples to get ready for the attack on the Mo Clan and destroy them in one go.
After giving these instructions, Xiahou Zhen returned to the inner hall and happened to run into the Xiahou Clan's ancestor, Xiahou Xu.
Xiahou Xu had been in seclusion for more than a decade. Although he was showing signs of aging, it didn't affect his combat strength.
The Spirit Control Art of the Xiahou Clan had its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that the Xiahou Clan's cultivators were generally weaker than their peers because they cultivated the art.
The weakening of Qi and blood also caused the warriors of the Xiahou Clan to age faster than warriors of the same level.
However, there were benefits to this as well. Their weakened bodies did not affect the Xiahou clan warriors' battle prowess.
The body would weaken, but the soul would only dissipate before death. Therefore, even if the Xiahou Clan's cultivators aged a little, it wouldn't affect their combat strength.
"Have you arranged everything?" Xiahou Xu asked in a low voice.
Xiahou Zhen nodded. "Rest assured, Ancestor. Everything has been arranged."
Xiahou Zhen paused for a moment before continuing, "But Forefather, why do I feel uneasy? House Mo is one of the nine great houses, just like us. If we act rashly, will Shangshui River's Ying Clan intervene? Mo Tianlin is Chu Xiu's good friend. Even the Blue Dragon Society made a move when we probed them. I'm afraid that Chu Xiu will show up in the end. "
The Xiahou Clan was managed by the Elders Council and Xiahou Zhen together. The Elders Council's existence was very important to Xiahou Zhen.
Now that Xiahou Xu had come out of seclusion and handed everything to Xiahou Zhen, he couldn't bring himself to be happy.
No matter how he looked at it, Xiahou Zhen felt that something was wrong.
Xiahou Xu said in a low voice, "So what if it's the Shangshui Clan? So what if it's Chu Xiu? The one behind our Xiahou Clan isn't even comparable to the Shangshui Clan, let alone Chu Xiu.
Most importantly, it's not like you don't know how my Xiahou family rose to prominence. Do you dare to refuse the karma that we owed in the early years?
Right now, that lord is in the Xiahou clan. Be careful with your words. The people of the Elysium are temperamental. If we anger him, our Xiahou clan won't have a good ending.
Since you're ready, let's go ask that lord when we'll make our move. "
Xiahou Zhen nodded and followed Xiahou Xu to a large residence in the Xiahou clan's backyard.
Pushing the door open, a dignified voice sounded, "Is everything ready?"
As the forefather of the Xiahou clan, Xiahou Xu bowed reflexively at the waist. "The preparations are complete," he replied with utmost deference. "Once Lord Lin gives the order, the Xiahou clan will act."
In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with golden dragon patterns sat in the center. Although he was just sitting there quietly, he gave off an incomparably majestic and domineering feeling.
The golden-patterned dragon robe he wore was not embroidered with the five-clawed golden dragons used by the royal family. Instead, it was embroidered with extremely ferocious dragons. Their sharp claws and teeth were stained with blood, looking extremely lifelike.
This person was one of the Nine Great Divine Generals of the Elysium, Lin Canglong!
Although the Xiahou clan was one of the Nine Great Families, only a few of the higher-ups of the clan knew that the rise of the Xiahou clan had a lot to do with the Elysium.
Before the Xiahou clan became one of the Nine Great Families, they had once participated in a battle for a secret realm.
With the Xiahou clan's strength back then, they were basically just there to watch the show.
However, one of the Divine Generals of the Elysium had also participated in the battle for the secret realm, and someone from the Xiahou clan had even led the way for him.
During the battle, the Divine General of the Elysium obtained a secret technique, but he didn't think much of it, so he tossed it to the forefather of the Xiahou clan.
This secret technique was the Spirit Control Technique that the Xiahou clan was now famous for.
This matter could be said to be the Xiahou clan's secret. After all, they had relied on the reward of leading the way for them to build their current foundation. It was not a good thing to say.
But although it was not a good thing, it was the truth. Now that the Divine General of the Elysium had come to ask the Xiahou clan to cooperate with him, would the Xiahou clan dare to refuse? No matter what it was, they could only agree.
At this moment, Xiahou Zhen said carefully, "Sir Lin, I have a small suggestion.
If you want something from the Shangyang Mo clan, given the Xiahou clan's strength, as long as you give us some time, we will definitely be able to get it for you, be it through coercion or bribery.
But now that you insist on destroying the Mo clan in one fell swoop, and then forcefully taking the item, it will cause too much of a commotion. I'm afraid that others will intervene.
For example, the Shangshui Ying clan, the leader of the Nine Great Families, and Chu Xiu, who is good friends with Mo Tianlin, a disciple of the Mo clan.
If they intervene, I'm afraid things will become even worse in the end. "
Actually, what Xiahou Zhen really feared was that the Xiahou clan would be in trouble once Lin Canglong left.
Destroying the Shangyang Mo clan was one thing, but what if the Shangshui Ying clan came to ask about it in the future?
Moreover, if Chu Xiu came for revenge in the future, and Lin Canglong returned to the Elysium with the item, wouldn't the Xiahou clan have to bear the consequences themselves?
Lin Canglong narrowed his eyes at Xiahou Zhen, an extreme pressure already enveloping him.
Lin Canglong's face was very ordinary, so ordinary that no one could remember him at a glance.
Although his appearance was ordinary, the domineering aura he exuded was enough to make one's heart tremble. Although he didn't say a word, Xiahou Zhen's heart beat wildly, as if it was about to explode. In just a few breaths of time, he was already covered in sweat.
Xiahou Xu hurriedly said, "Sir Lin, please calm down. Xiahou Zhen doesn't know the situation, and the Xiahou clan will take action immediately. We will not waste a single moment of your time."
Lin Canglong retracted his aura, but his expression remained unreadable.
Staring at Xiahou Zhen, Lin Canglong said lightly, "Remember, this is not a request, but an order!
My time can't be delayed for even a quarter of an hour. What you have to do is not to question, but to obey!
Everything that your Xiahou clan has is given to you by the Elysium. Now that you are disobedient, it is reasonable for the Elysium to take away your things, isn't it? "
Xiahou Zhen clenched his fists, still somewhat unconvinced.
In the past, the Elysium only gave them the Imperial Spirit Technique. Although the rise of the Xiahou clan relied on this Imperial Spirit Technique, could it erase the hard work of generations of the Xiahou clan? If the Imperial Spirit Technique was given to a group of trash, they wouldn't be able to become the Xiahou clan!
Xiahou Xu was afraid that Xiahou Zhen would say something that would anger the other party again, so he quickly pulled Xiahou Zhen away.
Xiahou Zhen was only at the Real Pellet State. Although he had developed the Xiahou clan quite well as the family master over the years, the things he could come into contact with were only at his level.
Xiahou Zhen didn't know the horror of the Elysium, but Xiahou Xu knew.
The entire Xiahou clan didn't have the qualification to negotiate in front of the Elysium; they could only obey!
At this time, in the Shangyang Mo Family of Eastern Qi, the entire Mo Family was gloomy.
The Shangyang Mo Family was almost the weakest existence among the entire 9 great families. The only Real Pellet State martial artist in the Mo Family was Mo Chengming.
The reason why the Mo Family could survive until now was that they never provoked anyone and never made enemies with anyone.
As a result, the Mo Family didn't expect that even though they had done this, they still caused a fatal disaster.
The Mo Family had been tentatively attacked by the people of the Xiahou clan before. After that, Luo Fei-hung came to help, and the people of the Blue Dragon Society also came to help, but they were all blocked by the Xiahou clan.
Now that the news had come, the people of the Xiahou clan were ready to attack on a large scale. They didn't even try to probe. It was as if they wanted to destroy the Mo Family in one go. In an instant, the entire Mo Family was like the end of the world.
In the lobby of the Mo Family, all the direct descendants and collateral descendants of the Mo Family, old and young, gathered here, but everyone's face showed a look of panic.
Some people said that they wanted to escape quickly, and some people wanted to ask for help from the Shangshui Ying Clan.
Mo Chengming sat on the main seat and coughed out a trace of blood.
This was the injury he suffered when the Xiahou clan probed and attacked last time. It wasn't even Xiahou Zhen who attacked that time, but an elder of the Xiahou clan, but he didn't stop it. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Blue Dragon Society, even the Mo Family wouldn't have survived.
With a sigh, Mo Chengming said, "Escape? The main force of the Xiahou clan is coming, but some of their disciples haven't left at all. They are scattered around our Mo Family. Can we escape?
As for asking for help from the Shangshui Ying Clan, not to mention that time is not urgent, do you think the Shangshui Ying Clan will care about these things?
Last time when the Lu Family and the Sun Family fought, the Shangshui Ying Clan only took a look at the end. Did they intervene?
It's useless, it's useless! "
Hearing Mo Chengming's words, everyone present fell into despair.
At this time, Mo Chengming turned his head to the previously silent Mo Tianlin and said, "Tianlin, I know you are good friends with Chu Xiu. Can you ask for help from Chu Xiu? With Chu Xiu's power, he can definitely stop the Xiahou clan. "
Mo Tianlin sighed and shook his head, "Ancestor, Luo Fei-hung and the Blue Dragon Society have already acted. They are all under Brother Chu's command. If you ask me to trouble Brother Chu again, I won't be able to open my mouth.
Brother Chu once told me that in this Jianghu, being weak is a sin in itself!
At that time, I felt that Brother Chu's actions were extreme and I didn't agree with him. But now, I finally understand that Brother Chu was right.
The Shangyang Mo Family has always been kind and has never offended anyone. Yet, we have fallen into this situation. Who can we blame? Who can we blame? We can only blame ourselves for being too weak!
Ancestor, don't put your hopes on others. This time, the Mo Family will not ask for help. Whether we live or die, we will bear it ourselves! "
Someone from the Mo Family immediately shouted, "Bear it ourselves? With what? Who will bear it? "
Mo Tianlin stood up and walked out of the door. Specks of sword qi appeared on his body.
"I will bear it!"
