Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The Mo Family’s Loyalty

BANG! BANG! BANG!

As Ye Xuan reviewed the information, the sounds of fighting and angry shouts came ceaselessly from outside the door.

"Your Highness, it looks like those little guys from the Mo family are about to break. To think those so-called three great families would dare to attack you. Should I go out and wipe out those damn families?"

Jin Lin’s eyes gleamed as he spoke, filled with excitement.

Violence ran in his blood. At the first opportunity, he was itching to jump into the fray and start slaughtering.

"This little matter isn’t worthy of your intervention." Ye Xuan’s Profound Sense was constantly monitoring the battle outside, giving him a crystal-clear understanding of the situation.

If the Mo family wanted to pledge their allegiance to him, they had to prove their worth. Now was the time to see just how far they would go.

Ye Xuan wasn’t worried in the slightest.

Ye Xuan might not have been worried, but Mo Chengtian and the others fighting outside felt like their hearts were about to explode with anxiety.

This time, the three great families had come out in full force, dispatching many of their elite experts to ensure they could seize the Seven-Colored Chaos Soil.

The three great families joined forces against the Mo family. And even though the Mo family had deployed nearly all its experts, they were quickly pushed into a disadvantageous position.

"Mo Chengtian, what’s gotten into you? To think you’d dare to oppose our three families at once! Back down now, or don’t blame us for being merciless."

The Clan Leaders of the three great families attacked relentlessly. The Profound Power of Tier Six Martial Venerables erupted everywhere, accompanied by a continuous roar.

In Black Stone City, the four great families reigned supreme. They were immensely powerful, each possessing numerous businesses and constantly at odds with one another.

Despite this, the four families generally practiced restraint in many respects. After all, a full-blown war would be a catastrophe for Black Stone City.

But now, faced with the temptation of the Seven-Colored Chaos Soil and the vast amount of Spirit Medicines on Ye Xuan, the four great families could no longer hold back.

"Hmph. You’re the ones who should back down. The two people inside are not someone the likes of you can covet."

Mo Chengtian snorted coldly, retreating repeatedly under the onslaught of the three Clan Leaders, the blood and qi churning within him.

’I’m about to die of anxiety! The three families’ assault was ferocious. Many of the Mo family’s elders are already seriously injured and on the verge of collapse. Why hasn’t that expert by His Highness’s side made a move yet?’

The only reason he had dared to so brazenly confront the three great families was because he was banking on the support of Jin Lin.

But he never expected that even after the battle had raged for so long, there was still no sign of movement from the room. The anxiety made Mo Chengtian want to vomit blood.

Forget the Mo family elders—he himself was in a wretched state, besieged by the three Clan Leaders. He was in constant danger of being killed.

’Has His Highness abandoned the Mo family?’

Panic seized Mo Chengtian’s heart.

"Patriarch, we can’t hold on much longer!"

An elder of the Mo family, besieged by several men in black, shouted with great difficulty. Before his voice had even faded, PFFT! A palm struck him, and he was sent flying, spitting blood.

"Patriarch, we have to retreat!"

"No one can take much more of this!"

Many of the Mo family experts coughed up blood as they struggled to defend themselves.

"Mo Chengtian, since you refuse to listen to reason, don’t blame us for what comes next."

The three Clan Leaders exchanged a look, a silent understanding passing between them. A vicious gleam suddenly appeared in their eyes.

’Since Mo Chengtian has lost his mind and wants to fight the three of us alone, this is the perfect opportunity. Why not just kill him and wipe the Mo family from Black Stone City for good?’

’Not only would we get the treasures, but we could also swallow up all of the Mo family’s assets. That’s even more tempting than the Seven-Colored Chaos Soil.’

KILL!

The three Patriarchs held nothing back and attacked with deadly intent.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Coughing up mouthfuls of blood, Mo Chengtian stumbled backward again and again.

His heart sank. ’Even now, His Highness hasn’t made a move. Has he given up on us?’

’Or is His Highness still testing my loyalty?’

Watching his family’s experts struggle desperately, on the verge of death at any moment, Mo Chengtian’s heart bled. He even felt the urge to give up and retreat immediately.

But at the last moment, he held back.

’If I retreat now, what was the point of holding on for so long?’

’I’ve finally found a powerful backer. Am I going to give up this quickly?’

Besides, he, Mo Chengtian, had already declared his allegiance. To run away like a coward at the first sign of danger... even he found such a contemptible act shameful.

He might be arrogant, domineering, and act with wild abandon, but what had allowed him to build the Mo family to its current status was precisely his principle of keeping his word. His word was his bond.

’I can’t retreat. Even if I die, I won’t retreat!’

Mo Chengtian’s eyes turned crimson as he steeled his resolve.

’But my family can’t be sacrificed for my moment of impulse.’

Just as Mo Chengtian was about to order his family’s experts to retreat first, leaving him behind to fight to the death...

CREAK!

The door behind him finally opened, and Jin Lin, dressed in a golden robe, slowly walked out.

Mo Chengtian was overjoyed. ’Senior Jin Lin is finally here!’

’With Senior Jin Lin making a move, won’t killing the three Clan Leaders be a piece of cake?’

However, after coming out, Jin Lin didn’t step forward. Instead, he flicked his fingers, sending out one Pill after another.

The Pills shot through the crowd like meteors, moving with astonishing speed and landing precisely in the hands of every single Mo family expert.

"His Highness says this is a small matter for you to resolve on your own. If you can’t handle it, then don’t bother seeing him again." After speaking, Jin Lin turned and went back into the room.

Mo Chengtian’s heart sank to the bottom of a ravine. He stared at the Pill in his hand, wanting to cry but having no tears left.

’What is going on? Isn’t Senior Jin Lin going to intervene? All the Mo family experts are seriously injured. Even if His Highness’s Pills are miraculous, there’s no way we can be a match for so many experts from the three families!’

But Mo Chengtian didn’t dare to question Ye Xuan. He could only grit his teeth and swallow the Pill.

’Since His Highness had Senior Jin Lin deliver the Pills, he must have his reasons.’

As the seemingly unremarkable Pill entered his stomach, a rich medicinal aura suddenly spread through him. An incredible scene unfolded before Mo Chengtian’s eyes: his heavily injured body began to recover at a visible rate.

It wasn’t just him; the injuries of all the Mo family experts were also healing rapidly.

At the same time, the Profound Power aura within their bodies surged, and a potent sense of strength filled them.

Mo Chengtian was stunned. ’What kind of Pill is this? How can it heal my body so quickly?’ He was a Tier Six Martial Venerable; only a Sixth Grade Pill could have such a shocking effect. ’Could it be that what I just took was a Sixth Grade Pill?’

What’s more, the Pill not only healed his injuries but also caused his Profound Power to grow. The feeling of abundant power was much stronger than what he felt even at his peak.

’But even if my injuries are healed and my strength has increased, I’m still facing three great families who are just as strong. Without a decisive breakthrough, how can I possibly defeat them?’

Mo Chengtian still couldn’t understand what Ye Xuan was thinking.

The members of the three great families also sensed the change in Mo Chengtian and the others, and they were all utterly shocked.

KILL!

A trace of fear crept into their hearts. With a furious roar, they attacked again with deadly force.

Mo Chengtian couldn’t afford to be puzzled. He struck out with a palm toward the leading Li family Patriarch. He had only intended to block the Li family Patriarch’s attack, but to his surprise, after he launched his palm strike, the Li family Patriarch just stood there, as if stupefied.

PFFT! The Li family Patriarch was struck by the palm and sent flying like a broken kite, covered in blood.

Mo Chengtian froze for a moment, but then he reacted quickly, striking out with another palm toward the Wei family Patriarch.

"Patriarch Li!" the Wei family Patriarch cried out in shock. He couldn’t understand why Patriarch Li hadn’t defended himself. But when he tried to counterattack Mo Chengtian, he discovered in horror that an invisible, terrifying power had descended upon him. The Profound Power in his body suddenly felt like hardened cement, completely impossible to mobilize.

This was a suppressive pressure that only a Tier Seven Martial King should possess.

"There’s a Martial King expert helping you! Could it be..." the Wei family Patriarch began to say in shock and anger, but before he could finish, Mo Chengtian’s palm slammed into his chest, sending him flying backward, vomiting blood.

In the blink of an eye, two Patriarchs were seriously injured by Mo Chengtian, losing their ability to fight back. And it wasn’t just here; the same scene was playing out wherever the Mo family elders were fighting.

The last one remaining, the Xu family Patriarch, was completely stunned. He turned to flee.

At this point, how could Mo Chengtian not understand that Senior Jin Lin was helping him? Thrilled, he gave chase and, within a few moves, the Xu family Patriarch fell to the ground, spitting blood.

A moment later, the experts from the three great families were either dead or seriously wounded. Not a single one was left standing.

This sudden reversal of fortune left the Mo family experts dumbfounded.

"Your Highness, please instruct this subordinate on how to deal with these people."

Although Mo Chengtian was eager to kill everyone from the three great families, he didn’t dare to overstep his bounds. He knelt on one knee, facing Ye Xuan’s room.

Jin Lin’s indifferent voice drifted out. "His Highness says not to kill the people from the three great families for now. Bring their three Clan Leaders inside."

"Yes!" Mo Chengtian was slightly disappointed but replied respectfully. ’I wanted to kill everyone from the three great families and rule Black Stone City alone, but it seems His Highness has other plans.’

’But why is His Highness summoning the three Clan Leaders? Does he want to subjugate the three great families as well?’

Whatever His Highness wanted to do, Mo Chengtian had no right to question it.

Mo Chengtian brought the Clan Leaders of the three great families into the room.

"Your Highness, I’ve brought the Clan Leaders of the three great families," Mo Chengtian said respectfully.

The three men were covered in blood and knelt on the ground, seriously injured. They stared at Jin Lin and Ye Xuan in terror, while glaring at Mo Chengtian with fury.

"Mo Chengtian, you actually pledged allegiance to an outside power! Have you forgotten that Wukong Ridge is not to be controlled by outsiders?" the three Clan Leaders raged.
