Mo Clan

Above Desert City, Xiao Yun released his soul power. In an instant, a powerful aura surged forth, and Dou Emperors within a hundred miles all sensed the terrifying presence.

Somewhere in the Jia Ma Empire, an elderly man dressed in yellow, with white hair and a youthful face, looked toward the Tagore Desert in shock.

"Could this aura belong to a Dou Ancestor!"

Beside the old man floated a mass of black mist, emanating an equally terrifying aura.

"Heh heh heh."

An eerie laugh rang out from the black mist, followed by a devilish voice. "With this aura, the other party's strength is definitely no lower than a two-star Dou Ancestor."

"Jia Xing Tian, are you still hesitating?"

"If the Jia Ma Imperial Family does not produce a Dou Ancestor soon, the Jia Ma Empire will be facing a change of rule."

The old man looked at the black mist and remained silent for a long while. Only after some time did he ask, "Why did you come to me?"

A mocking laugh sounded from within the black mist. "Originally, I intended to seek out Yun Shan, but Yun Shan appears to have obtained a Sect-Breaking Pill and rejected the Hall of Souls' assistance."

Upon hearing Yun Shan's name, the old man's pupils abruptly contracted. "What did you say?! Yun Shan isn't dead!"

"Heh heh heh." The strange laughter emerged from the black mist once more.

"Jia Xing Tian, it seems you have no way out. If Yun Shan breaks through to Dou Ancestor, your Jia Ma Imperial Family will exist in name only."

After releasing his soul power, Xiao Yun quickly found Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin. The two were being escorted by a group of people toward the edge of the Tagore Desert. In another hundred meters or so, they would leave the desert.

The group's conversation reached Xiao Yun's ears.

"Mo Lin, do those two women possess special constitutions?" Among the crowd, an elderly man with graying hair and gray robes asked in a low voice.

The old man was Mo Cheng, the Mo Clan's Grand Elder and a Dou Spirit. The reason the Mo Clan had become one of the four great families in the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire was precisely because of him.

"Grand Elder, the little girl truly possesses the legendary Jade Serpent Three Flower Eyes. As for the other one, she also seems to possess a special constitution, but I cannot determine what it is," the middle-aged man beside the old man replied respectfully.

"Good." Mo Cheng's eyes lit up, excitement flashing across his face. He gave a sinister smile. "As long as she has the Jade Serpent Three Flower Eyes."

"Grand Elder, are the Jade Serpent Three Flower Eyes really as miraculous as the legends say?" Mo Lin asked.

The old man smiled greedily. "Of course. The Jade Serpent Three Flower Eyes are extraordinary eyes. With them, one can control serpent-type magical beasts throughout the world. Once I transplant those extraordinary eyes, I'll even dare to face the Medusa Queen—the one who makes the surrounding empires tremble at the mere mention of her name—in the Tagore Desert."

Hearing Mo Cheng's words, Mo Lin opened his mouth in surprise and said excitedly, "Wonderful! If the Jade Serpent Three Flower Eyes are so powerful, the Mo Clan will surely rise in a single leap to become a great family of the Jia Ma Empire."

Mo Cheng shook his head. "What is a great family? Once I transplant those extraordinary eyes, I will make the Mo Clan the master of the Jia Ma Empire."

As those words entered Xiao Yun's ears, his face turned cold, and he took a step forward.

The moment Xiao Yun raised his foot, the surrounding space began to ripple. When his foot landed, he was already five miles away.

Before Xiao Yun, the Mo Clan members escorting Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin immediately grew tense when they saw him suddenly appear with killing intent written across his face.

When Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin, standing amid the crowd, saw everyone around them suddenly stop, they lifted their heads and looked ahead in confusion.

Although they were a hundred meters away, Qing Lin and Little Doctor Fairy recognized Xiao Yun at a glance.

"Little Doctor Fairy, it's Young Master Xiao Yun!" Qing Lin said softly, her face full of joy.

Little Doctor Fairy looked at Xiao Yun and smiled. "This guy finally came."

The moment Xiao Yun appeared, the worries in the two women's hearts vanished. After spending these days together, Xiao Yun had come to occupy an important place in their hearts.

As long as Xiao Yun was there, they felt incomparably secure.

As the distance between Xiao Yun and the Mo Clan group closed, the Mo Clan members got a clear look at him—a young man around twenty years old.

Seeing this, many Mo Clan members lowered their guard.

Mo Lin stepped out of the crowd, looked at Xiao Yun, and said, "Kid, are you blocking our path?"

Xiao Yun glanced at Mo Lin, then pointed at Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin among the Mo Clan members. His voice was icy. "Hand over Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin, and I can spare your lives."

As soon as Xiao Yun spoke, Mo Lin's expression changed. He turned and exchanged a look with Mo Cheng, seeing the cold intent in the other man's eyes.

Mo Lin understood that Mo Cheng intended to kill. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Mo Clan members, kill him!"

As Mo Lin's voice fell, several people stepped out from behind him. They drew their sharp weapons and charged at Xiao Yun without another word.

Xiao Yun shook his head at the sight. He did not waste words. Raising both hands, he circulated his Dou Qi before thrusting them forward. A fierce wave of Dou Qi instantly erupted, carrying a gust of wind and sand ahead.

"Argh!"

The Dou Qi struck the charging men. It was as if they had been hit by massive boulders; their faces turned pale, and blood sprayed from their mouths.

Seeing Xiao Yun take down several men in one move, Mo Cheng and Mo Lin both frowned.

"Grand Elder, this person seems quite strong," Mo Lin said as he walked to Mo Cheng's side.

"Hmph, how strong could he be?" Mo Cheng snorted, then called out, "Mo Clan members, whoever kills this man will be rewarded with a Black Tier Dou Technique!"

As Mo Cheng's voice fell, the Mo Clan members around them immediately brightened with delight. When they looked at Xiao Yun, greed filled their eyes.

More than a dozen Dou Masters rubbed their hands together as they stared at Xiao Yun. Killing intent rose in their eyes as they rushed at him in a frantic scramble, afraid someone else would beat them to it, never realizing that hell lay ahead.

Xiao Yun walked forward. With a thought, an overwhelming tide of Dou Qi burst from his body. A few seconds later, all those who had attacked him for the Black Tier Dou Technique fell to the ground vomiting blood.

No one could halt Xiao Yun's steps for even a second. He charged straight through them, and anyone who tried to attack him lost their life.

The Mo Clan members who had not attacked turned pale with panic and could not help retreating several steps.

"Afraid? Too bad. I gave you a chance." Xiao Yun smiled mockingly.

Everyone's hearts tightened slightly. Looking at Xiao Yun's sunny smile, they felt nothing but fear.

"Sir, isn't killing so many of my clansmen a bit excessive?" Mo Lin suppressed the trace of fear in his heart and tried to make his expression seem calmer as he spoke.

"Heh." Xiao Yun looked at Mo Lin and gave a soft laugh.

"Arrogant bastard, I'll finish you myself."

Xiao Yun's expression made Mo Lin feel humiliated. He roared angrily as the abundant Dou Qi within him began circulating at high speed. Moments later, a suit of Dou Qi armor covered his body.

Feeling the power within him, Mo Lin gradually grew bolder. With a wave of his hand, the aura of a Great Dou Master pressed outward.

Mo Lin charged toward Xiao Yun, but the instant he moved, Xiao Yun's figure vanished.

"Mo Lin! Retreat!" Mo Cheng's pupils contracted as he shouted a warning.
