The Mo family mansion was located in the center of Yancheng, which alone is enough to show its terrifying status in Yancheng.
From a distance, the Mo family headquarters resembles a small fortress.
On the towering walls, patrols and defenses are stationed every ten meters or so, and sharp arrows gleam coldly in the gaps.
Inside the Mo family compound, in a dimly lit secret room.
Several figures gathered here.
Sitting at the head of the table was an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a gray shirt, with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Mo Lin".
The old man looked at one of them and asked, "Is everything confirmed?"
A middle-aged man stood up. "Elder, it's confirmed. That little girl does indeed possess the legendary Jade Serpent Three Eyes."
A glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes, "Heaven blesses the Mo family, to think we could encounter such a good thing!"
The Jade Serpent's Three Pupils is a special type of eye that is born naturally. Its characteristic is that when it uses its power, three petal-like shapes will appear in its eyes.
This eye technique poses little threat to humans, but it is a nemesis of snakes.
Mo Cheng recalled the news he had recently received: Queen Medusa in the desert had successfully evolved and broken through to the Dou Zong realm.
If he could use the Jade Serpent Three Eyes to control Medusa, would the Mo family ever need to be beholden to the Yunlan Sect again?
Especially considering the large number of snake people in the snake-people tribe, even the Gama royal family would have to treat him with great respect in the future.
"Elder, is the Azure Serpent's Three Eyes really that miraculous?"
The middle-aged man, Mo Lin, noticed the old man's upturned lips and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Hehe, did you see the two-headed giant snake next to the little girl? She wasn't even a Fighter, yet she had a giant snake at the Fighting Spirit level protecting her."
A glint of greed and fervor flashed in Mo Cheng's eyes. It was rumored that in the Gama Empire, only Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, could rival Medusa's beauty.
If he could obtain the Jade Serpent with its three pupils, wouldn't he also have the chance to try it out?
Mo Lin nodded slightly and then asked, "Elder, what arrangements do you want to make for Nalan Yanran?"
"Do you still need to ask me that? During the break in the banquet, you guys find a way to get Ge Ye drunk, and then feed that girl the prepared medicine."
Mo Cheng said in a deep voice.
"Elder, what if..."
Mo Lin was somewhat worried.
Mo Cheng swept his gaze coldly over the other party, who immediately shut up. He slowly said, "That girl has been spending too much time with Yun Yun. I'm afraid Mo Li won't be able to win her over in a short time. Since that's the case, let's use ruthless methods and force her into marriage. As long as it works, I'm not afraid that the girl won't obey. Then the Mo family can also get on the good side of the Nalan family... Hehe..."
At this point, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
In the future, when Nalan Yanran takes over the Yunlan Sect, the Mo family will essentially possess the Snake-People Clan, the Nalan family, and the Yunlan Sect.
It's hard to say whether the Gama Empire will eventually be under the Gama or Mo's name.
"The Grand Elder?"
"It is Mo Lin, the middle-aged man," he called out.
"Go and prepare."
Interrupted, the old man returned to reality and waved his hand somewhat listlessly.
The others left one after another.
...
The next day, the Mo family's gates were wide open, and the servants, dressed in clean clothes, wore smiles.
Mo Lan, the head of the Mo family, stood in front of the crowd and personally greeted the guests.
Upon entering through the door, one arrives at the main hall, where Elder Mo Cheng sits in a high position, smiling and conversing with those who have come to offer congratulations.
"Lord of Yancheng, Lord Boer has arrived!"
"Patriarch Ye, Lord Ye Cong has arrived!"
Those sitting in the hall craned their necks to look outside upon hearing the name, their eyes filled with excitement and envy.
The former was the lord of Yancheng, whose status goes without saying, while the latter was one of the three major families.
The hall became increasingly lively as more and more distinguished people arrived.
Mo Cheng walked through the crowd with a warm smile on his face until a name was called out.
"Nalan Yanran, the young sect master of Yunlan Sect, has arrived!"
At the gate, a woman dressed in a moon-white robe walked in as if surrounded by stars.
"Haha, niece Nalan..."
Mo Cheng took the initiative to step forward.
"Elder Mo Cheng, you are too kind. Yanran is only following her teacher's instructions."
Nalan Yanran maintained her reserved smile.
Mo Cheng smiled and nodded, then led the way, guiding her and Ge Ye to their seats.
"You two have worked hard. Please have some tea to quench your thirst." A disciple of the Mohist school, having received a look from the Grand Elder, brought up a teapot and filled the teapots for the two of them.
"Niece Nalan, this is some fine tea that I specially brought from the tea-producing region. Please try it. If you like it, bring some back for your teacher when you get back."
Mo Cheng said enthusiastically.
Nalan Yanran picked up the glass, took a sip, and commented a couple of times.
Then Mo Cheng took the initiative to leave.
Soon, many guests arrived, and the venue was packed.
The Mo family immediately began serving the dishes.
Once the wine glasses were full, Mo Cheng suddenly stepped onto the high platform, his voice drawing many eyes, "Recently, after internal discussions, our Mo family has decided to establish a Mo Alliance..."
Standing on the stage, Mo Cheng raised his glass in one hand and spoke eloquently.
The audience members had various expressions, but many glanced at Nalan Yanran's back as she sat in front and then chose to join in.
Then, when it comes to management, the position of leader naturally and without a doubt falls to Mo Cheng.
"Hehe, thank you all for your kindness..."
Mo Cheng was about to slam his fist on the table.
suddenly.
"I'm sorry, Elder Mo, you may not be able to take on the position of leader of the Mo Alliance for the time being."
A faint voice suddenly rang out, and two figures in black robes appeared outside the hall at some unknown time, walking step by step into the hall.
"Who are you? Today is a day of joy for me, Mo Cheng. You can still leave now."
Mo Cheng's face darkened.
Beneath his black robe, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Elder Mo, if you return the people you captured to me now, you can still celebrate this birthday. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
Snap!
On such a joyous occasion, to be spoken to like this, Mo Cheng slammed his wine glass down and shouted, "Guards, seize them!"
Mo family figures emerged from the corners.
The guests present did not panic. This is the headquarters of the Mo family. Do they really think that the Mo family's arrangements in Yancheng over the years have been fake?
However.
Their expressions changed the next second.
Before those people could even get within two meters of the two men in black robes, they were all turned into ice sculptures.
"So he does have some skill after all."
Mo Cheng saw one of the men in black robes approaching, but he did not back down.
Battle is about to break out!
The two quickly engaged in combat, and nearby guests retreated hastily, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
Nalan Yanran felt a little dizzy when she got up, and frowned.
"Uncle Ge, don't you feel something's wrong?" She asked.
Ge Ye shook his head. "Young Sect Master, are you feeling unwell?"
Nalan Yanran nodded.
As the two were talking, a blue flame ignited in the black-robed man's hand, sending Mo Cheng flying.
The scene erupted in uproar, and even the members of the Mo family were somewhat flustered.
Because Mo Cheng was the pillar of the Mo family.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran thought of the relationship between the Mo family and the Yunlan Sect and wanted to step forward to persuade them, but she almost lost her balance after taking just one step.
"Uncle Ge, have you had your tea?"
Nalan Yanran suddenly thought of something, and the latter shook her head again, indicating that she didn't like it, and then spat it out after putting it in her mouth.
Before the two could continue their conversation, the commotion in the venue drew their attention.
Mo Cheng revealed the arm of a demonic beast, intending to launch a sneak attack, but was blocked by the man in black robes. His arm broke, and his aura weakened.
It was Mo Lan, the head of the Mo family, who stopped them and ordered someone to bring out a little girl.
At this moment, everyone probably understood the reason.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, another unexpected event occurred, with countless vines bursting forth.
The man in black robes dodged upwards.
Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran had been looking at each other, their gazes now rising upwards.
Upon seeing the other person's face, they were instantly stunned.
How could it be him?
Without prior arrangement, the same thought flashed through their minds, and a hint of horror appeared on their faces.
