Inside the prison, an aged figure struggled to lift his hand. When he had been captured, he was still a robust middle-aged man, while Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had been nothing more than young boys.
Yet after more than a decade, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had both grown into dominant forces on the continent, while the once proud head of the Xiao Clan, who had shielded them from storms, had been reduced to a mere prisoner, old and frail.
Seeing this, Mo Yu clenched his fists tightly, fury surging within him like a volcano. He let out a cold shout—
"People of the Hun Clan, all of you deserve to die!"
His voice was like rolling thunder, filled with a chilling killing intent that soared into the sky. At the same time, an overwhelming and terrifying soul fluctuation erupted from Mo Yu's body, spreading out in waves. Instantly, dark clouds churned, and thunder rumbled through the heavens.
"Another one at the Di Realm Soul?!"
As the soul power burst forth, the Hun Clan experts—who had just been stunned by Xiao Yan's soul strength—were once again left dumbstruck, their eyes filled with utter shock.
Another Di Realm Soul expert? When did this level of soul cultivation become as common as cabbage? Even Hun Tiandi's expression shifted slightly—he clearly hadn't expected two Di Realm Souls to appear within just half a month.
If not for the fact that his thousand-year plan was on the verge of completion, the emergence of two Di Realm Souls could very well have disrupted everything.
"As expected of my Hun Clan's greatest threat… truly troublesome."
Hun Tiandi's voice was low, his tone carrying a hint of killing intent. Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's terrifying talent had finally made even him feel threatened.
"These two boys… truly men among men. No one in my Yan Clan can compare."
Yan Jin sighed softly as he looked at Mo Yu and Xiao Yan.
To climb from their once naive, youthful selves to their current status as titans of the continent, individuals that even he had to take seriously, all while surviving repeated assassination attempts by the Hun Clan—such a path had been anything but easy.
If they had been in Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's place, could they have done better? No, they were certain they could not.
After all, the only thing these two relied on was themselves. The once-mighty Xiao Clan and Lei Clan had left them with nothing but ruins.
At that thought, Yan Jin couldn't help but cast an envious glance toward the prison, where Xiao Zhan was held. Though the man himself had not achieved great heights, to have two such outstanding descendants—was that not the greatest accomplishment of a lifetime?
Hearing Yan Jin's sigh, the experts of the Yan Clan remained silent, unable to argue against his words.
"So… this is my husband's uncle?"
Lei Fei'er bit her lip, her beautiful eyes turning slightly red as she gazed at the frail figure within the prison. This was the first time since knowing Mo Yu that she had heard him acknowledge an elder.
She knew that this old man held a special place in Mo Yu's heart.
Inside the prison, Xiao Zhan stared fixedly at the two figures before him—one clad in black, the other with silver eyes.
Though their faces had matured, he could still see traces of the young boys they once were. The two most talented youths of the Xiao Clan had truly returned!
"Children…"
Tears streamed down Xiao Zhan's face. Then, with a sudden leap forward, he hoarsely shouted—
"Yan'er! Yu'er! Run!"
After years in the Hun Clan's captivity, he knew all too well how terrifying they were. In the past, the Dou Huang or even Dou Zong experts who had ruled the Jia Ma Empire were nothing more than common foot soldiers here.
Such overwhelming power was enough to drive despair into anyone's heart.
Mo Yu looked at the frail figure bound by heavy chains, his heart clenching. No matter what, Xiao Zhan had been a worthy elder. Even though Mo Yu now stood at the pinnacle of the continent, he still held deep respect for Xiao Zhan.
Beside him, Xiao Yan gazed at his shackled father, then suddenly smiled.
At least, no matter what, his father was alive.
"What a touching reunion."
Hun Tiandi chuckled, his gaze sweeping across Mo Yu and Xiao Yan before finally settling on Xiao Yan.
"Perhaps you should be grateful to us. Your father had mediocre talent—if he had followed a normal cultivation path, he would never have reached the Dou Huang level in his lifetime. To ensure he lived to this day, we fed him quite a few of my Hun Clan's pills. Otherwise, he might have died long ago in some unfortunate accident."
"Mm, I will."
Hearing this, Gu Yuan and the others frowned deeply, but Xiao Yan merely smiled and nodded.
"Rest assured, I will remember this great favor well."
Seeing the smile on Xiao Yan's face, Mo Yu—who knew him well—understood that a deep killing intent had already taken root in his heart.
"Heh, count me in. After all, my grandfather also died at the hands of the Hun Clan. If we're talking about 'repaying kindness,' then I definitely won't be left out."
Mo Yu's silver eyes gleamed coldly, carrying a chilling darkness, as if he had emerged from the depths of the underworld.
Hearing the two men speak so calmly, Hun Tiandi's face twitched slightly.
Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's brilliance was as dazzling as that of the legendary Xiao Xuan. However, compared to Xiao Xuan, these two were far more ruthless.
"Shall we make a trade?"
Xiao Yan had no interest in wasting words. With a flick of his hand, an ancient jade appeared—it was the final piece of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade.
Seeing the jade, Hun Tiandi's eyes flickered with an intense greed. As long as he possessed this final piece, he could locate and unlock the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's cave.
If he obtained the Di-grade Embryonic Pill within, he would ascend as the true ruler of this world. At that time, the so-called alliance would be nothing more than ants before him—easily crushed with a flick of his hand.
"Hand over the jade, and I'll return your father. You should know… killing him would be as simple as snapping my fingers, so don't try any tricks."
Hun Tiandi retracted his gaze and spoke calmly.
Xiao Yan shot him a glance, then opened his palm. Under his control, the ancient jade slowly floated into the air.
Seeing this, Hun Tiandi waved his sleeve. The black mist forming the prison bars instantly dissipated, and with a flick of his finger, the chains binding Xiao Zhan shattered one after another.
Finally, he clenched his hand, forming a black light ring around Xiao Zhan and lifting him into the air.
"Take it!"
Hun Tiandi waved his hand, and Xiao Zhan was immediately pulled toward Xiao Yan by the black chains binding him. At the same time, Xiao Yan's thoughts moved, and the ancient jade shot toward Hun Tiandi.
Simultaneously, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan tapped their feet against the void, their figures bursting forward like lightning. With a swift grab, they seized Xiao Zhan, and a surge of suction force erupted, yanking him over. Their palms slashed down, severing the dark energy chains wrapped around his body.
Just as Xiao Yan successfully rescued Xiao Zhan, Hun Tiandi also seized the ancient jade at almost the exact moment. Feeling the cool, smooth texture in his palm, even with his composure, he couldn't help but throw his head back in laughter. The jade was in his hands—he could already see himself stepping into that long-dreamed-of realm!
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
Holding onto Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan trembled with excitement. After exchanging a glance with Mo Yu, the two swiftly retreated into the alliance, carefully placing Xiao Zhan down.
"Yan'er… Yu'er… it's really you!"
Freed from his restraints and rescued in mere moments, Xiao Zhan barely had time to steady himself before seeing Mo Yu and Xiao Yan before him. His voice trembled with disbelief.
"Father, you've suffered… I'm sorry."
Xiao Yan's eyes turned red, and he dropped heavily to his knees before his father, the impact cracking the stone beneath him.
"Uncle, don't worry. You're safe now! With me and Xiao Yan here, no one on this continent will dare harm you again!" Mo Yu stepped forward, tightly gripping Xiao Zhan's trembling hands, his voice resolute.
"It's really you…"
Xiao Zhan's gaze shifted between Mo Yu and Xiao Yan. Overcome with emotion, tears streamed down his face. The sight left those around them with a lump in their throats.
"Yan'er, get up, quickly. It was my own weakness… And Yu'er, I believe you. You've always been the pride of our Xiao family. You did not disappoint Steward Mo's expectations. If he were watching from above, he would surely be proud of you."
Xiao Zhan wiped his tears before hastily helping Xiao Yan up. Looking at the much more mature face of his youngest son, his heart filled with relief.
As a father, there was nothing he wanted more than to see his children grow strong. Ever since he was captured, his greatest worry had been this youngest son. But in the end, it was this very son who brought him the greatest miracle and pride.
As for Mo Yu, his nephew, Xiao Zhan was equally gratified. Mo Yu had grown up with Xiao Yan, and with their blood ties, Xiao Zhan had always treated him as his own child, caring for him deeply. Now, seeing both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan standing tall, his heart was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Gazing at Xiao Zhan, whose hair was now unkempt and who looked much older than before, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and spoke softly.
"Father, Eldest Brother is in the Jia Ma Empire, and Second Brother is with Cousin Mo Yu. They've been waiting for you. Once things here are settled, I'll take you to see them. But for now… let me handle some matters first."
"Protect my father." Xiao Yan turned his head and instructed the powerhouses of the Sky Mansion Alliance.
"Rest assured, Alliance Leader! We will guard him with our lives!"
Hearing this, the dozens of Sky Mansion Alliance powerhouses at the peak of the Dou Zun realm responded respectfully before instantly positioning themselves around Xiao Zhan, shielding him tightly.
Mo Yu also signaled to Zi Huo, who immediately understood. With a wave of his hand, several elite experts of the Lion Hall, all at the Ban Sheng level, surrounded Xiao Zhan, reinforcing his protection.
"Yan'er, Yu'er… this…"
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan was stunned. These people exuded a terrifying aura. Even among the Hun Clan, they wouldn't be considered weak.
What shocked him even more was that these powerful experts treated Xiao Yan and Mo Yu with immense respect and reverence. Could it be that his youngest son and nephew had grown so strong?
"Father, don't worry. Cousin Mo Yu was right—now that we're here, no one on this continent can harm you. They will ensure your safety."
Mo Yu calmed his emotions and smiled at Xiao Zhan before exchanging a nod with Xiao Yan.
Understanding Xiao Yan's intent, Mo Yu turned around at the same time as him. In that instant, their eyes were filled with an icy killing intent. Toward the Hun Clan, their hatred had already reached an uncontrollable peak.
Now, it was time to kill.
As Mo Yu and Xiao Yan turned, Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and the others also directed their gazes toward the Hun Clan. Their eyes, too, flickered with chilling hostility. The Hun Clan had gathered all eight pieces of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade—they absolutely could not be allowed to leave with them.
"Form the array!"
In an instant, several sharp commands rang out across the battlefield.
Immediately, the experts from the Gu Clan, the Yan and Lei Clans, and even the Hun Clan in the sky all shifted swiftly into battle formations. Towering pillars of Dou Qi shot into the sky, covering the heavens.
The overwhelming and terrifying scene made the distant spectators tremble in fear. They silently thanked their luck that they had not been caught in the middle of this chaos—otherwise, they would have been doomed in such a battle.
"So, you all really refuse to give up."
High above, Hun Tiandi's smile faded slightly as he returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor.
Looking down at Mo Yu, Xiao Yan, and the others, he seemed unsurprised by their sudden action. He understood that Gu Yuan and the rest would never sit idly by while the Hun Clan obtained all eight pieces of the jade and prepared to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave.
"Hun Tiandi, hand over the ancient jade! Otherwise, we will unite and raze the Hun Clan to the ground!" Lei Ying's eyes burned with fury as he shouted sternly.
Hearing this, Hun Tiandi chuckled softly. With a flip of his hand, he stored the ancient jade into his storage ring and said with amusement, "Oh? If you all had such strength, then why have you fallen to such a predicament today?"
"Hun Tiandi, the Ancient Emperor's Cave will not be opened so easily for you!" Gu Yuan's face darkened as he slowly ascended into the sky. A terrifying aura spread from within him, causing the clouds to gather and thunder to rumble.
Behind him, Mo Yu, Xiao Yan, Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and all the experts from the three clans and the Sky Mansion Alliance who were at least at the Five-Star Dou Sheng level also soared into the air. Their overwhelming presence caused the sky and earth to tremble.
In terms of sheer numbers of high-level experts, the three clans and the Sky Mansion Alliance no longer seemed weaker than the Hun Clan. If war broke out, the outcome would be impossible to predict.
"Gu Yuan, I've said it before. With the Xiao Clan annihilated, there is no one left in this world who can stop my Hun Clan. Not even your Gu Clan."
Facing such an overwhelming force, Hun Tiandi remained composed, a faint smile on his lips.
