**

A deafening silence engulfed the skies, broken only by Mo Yu's cold voice echoing slowly.

The disciples of Yun Lan Sect collectively exhaled a sigh of relief, yet their hearts carried a sense of sorrow.

In its prime, Yun Lan Sect had been a powerful force, commanding respect across the continent. Who could have imagined its descent to such a state—reduced to being at the mercy of another? The stark contrast was difficult to accept.

Still, regardless of how bitter this reality was, they could do nothing to change it. The murderous intent emanating from Mo Yu made it clear that he had come with a resolve to bathe Yun Lan Sect in blood.

Now that Yun Shan, the old sect master, had fallen, it was only thanks to Yun Yun's relationship with Mo Yu that the disciples were spared from a massacre.

To them, surviving was already a stroke of fortune.

Hearing Mo Yu's voice, cold and judgmental like the final verdict, Yun Yun trembled slightly. She bit her lip, her face pale and filled with desolation.

Was Yun Lan Sect truly destined to be destroyed by her own hands?

Clenching her delicate fists, Yun Yun's bright eyes scanned the countless disciples below. A hint of sorrow flickered across her face as she muttered, "Is this how you intend to avenge yourself against Yun Lan Sect?"

Mo Yu glanced at her, his expression wavering briefly. His voice turned firm and unyielding. "Out of respect for the past, this is my final concession. Choose: annihilation without mercy, or disbandment of the sect. There is no third option."

Yun Yun's hands trembled as she heard his words, her gaze struggling with inner turmoil. After a long silence, she sighed despondently, her voice hoarse and weary.

"So be it. Things have reached this point, and further argument is meaningless. If you insist, I will comply. I will dissolve Yun Lan Sect within a month—so long as you spare the ordinary disciples."

Those few words seemed to drain all her strength. Her once-bright eyes dimmed, her spirit appearing utterly defeated, evoking pity from those who looked on.

"See that you follow through. If anyone within your sect dares to resist, I will personally intervene."

With that, Mo Yu turned his gaze towards Mu Lan Valley's forces, his silver eyes gleaming with cold intent.

While he showed leniency to Yun Lan Sect out of consideration for Yun Yun, he harbored no such sympathy for Mu Lan Valley.

Noticing Mo Yu's icy glare, the Three Elders of Mu Lan Valley and their experts felt their hearts clench. Yun Lan Sect, a force that had stood for centuries, had been obliterated in mere moments. Fear painted their faces.

The Mu Lan Valley experts turned to the Three Elders, hoping they would surrender to Mo Yu. At this point, survival, even at the cost of disbanding their sect, was preferable to losing their lives.

Under the weight of these pleading gazes, the Three Elders exchanged glances, their expressions grim.

Mu Lan Valley, though not as ancient as Yun Lan Sect, had established itself as a dominant force in the Northwestern Continent under their leadership. Now, facing a fate similar to Yun Lan Sect's, their pride made them unwilling to submit.

Yet, the reality before them left them no choice. The Three Elders, though begrudging, steeled themselves and prepared to offer their surrender.

Just as they were about to speak, Mo Yu's voice, laced with killing intent, resounded throughout Yun Lan Mountain.

"As for Mu Lan Valley…" His silver eyes swept across the area coldly before he waved his hand and declared indifferently, "Leave no one alive!"

"What?!"

The Three Elders froze, their expressions stiffening in disbelief. They had brought two-thirds of Mu Lan Valley's strongest forces here. Such a display of power was enough to make others envious, yet Mo Yu intended to slaughter them all?

Panic gripped the experts of Mu Lan Valley. Though unwilling, they had been ready to submit to save their lives. Mo Yu's words, however, crushed all hopes of surrender.

Why? Wasn't accepting defectors a common practice on the Dou Qi Continent?

Mo Yu sneered. "I will use the blood of Mu Lan Valley's hundreds of experts to warn every ambitious force in the Northwest Continent: Jia Ma Empire is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

He understood the harsh reality of the Dou Qi Continent, a world ruled by the law of the jungle. In the original timeline, Yun Lan Sect's fall had invited covetous forces like Mu Lan Valley and Jin Yan Sect to encroach on Jia Ma Empire.

Now, with Yun Lan Sect disbanded, nearby empires unaware of the circumstances would undoubtedly seek to exploit the opportunity.

To preempt such trouble, Mo Yu decided to make an example of Mu Lan Valley, using their blood to establish a deterrent.

With his command, the experts of the Jia Ma Empire and Mo Yu's forces advanced, their eyes locking onto the Mu Lan Valley experts like predators eyeing prey.

"Retreat! All Mu Lan Valley members, retreat!"

Seeing the predatory gazes surrounding them, the Three Elders' expressions changed drastically. Despite their reluctance, they shouted for their forces to flee.

The experts of Mu Lan Valley, overwhelmed by fear, activated their Dou Qi Wings and fled toward Mu Lan Empire in a desperate bid for survival.

"Humph, the Manor Lord has decreed that none of Mu Lan Valley are to be spared!"

Elder Yin Gu, fully loyal to Mo Yu, snorted coldly. With a step forward, his immense Dou Qi surged as he led the charge against the fleeing Mu Lan Valley forces.

Following his lead, the experts of Jia Ma Empire and Mo Yu's faction moved to intercept, ruthlessly cutting down the remnants of Mu Lan Valley.

Watching this, the Yun Lan Sect disciples sighed in relief. Any lingering resentment they had towards Mo Yu dissipated entirely.

Caught between powerful adversaries and with no will to fight, Mu Lan Valley was quickly overwhelmed, leaving corpses scattered across the battlefield.

The Three Elders of Mu Lan Valley, witnessing the slaughter of their forces, felt their hearts bleed. This was the foundation of their sect—decimated in a single battle.

Desperate, they exchanged a glance and attempted to flee, only to be intercepted by a strikingly beautiful woman who exuded a seductive aura.

With a wave of her hand, a beam of seven-colored energy shot toward them, its terrifying force catching them off guard.

The Three Elders countered with their combined strength, but the energy overwhelmed them, forcing them to cough up blood.

"Who are you?!" the lion-headed elder demanded shakily, wiping the blood from his lips as he stared at the alluring woman.

"Do you really think you can escape?" she said with a cold smile, her voice dripping with mockery.

Mo Yu, noticing her arrival, gave a slight nod. Turning to the Three Elders, he smirked and said, "You've brought this upon yourselves. Even in death, you won't escape retribution."

Fury and despair filled the Three Elders' eyes. Cornered, they roared their defiance, though their end was inevitable.

"Annoying!"

Mo Yu's face was cold and emotionless. The miniature version of the Thunder Golden Orb in his hand began to spin rapidly. As it rotated, it seemed to pull even the surrounding air into its vortex.

With a flick of his arm, the rapidly spinning golden Thunder Orb shot forward, carrying terrifying and violent electrical currents, slamming fiercely into the Mu Lan Three Elders.

In that instant, a ferocious and unstoppable blast of energy erupted from the Thunder Orb. Under such a nearly overwhelming assault, the Mu Lan Three Elders didn't have time to defend. Their faces turned pale, and they spat out blood mixed with shattered internal organs.

The golden Thunder Orb emitted an intense radiance as the explosion spread. Within a brief moment, the severely injured Mu Lan Three Elders were engulfed. Miserable screams echoed across the distant sky.

The golden thunder lasted for nearly half a minute before gradually dissipating. When it finally faded, the three figures had transformed into three charred corpses.

Standing beside the blackened remains, Mo Yu extended his palm and pressed it against their foreheads. With a forceful tug, three illusory soul forms were pulled out, only to be devoured greedily by the Black Lotus Soul Thunder.

Feeling the Black Lotus Soul Thunder grow stronger once again, Mo Yu paused for a moment. He could sense that the combined soul strength of the Mu Lan Three Elders was not weaker than Yun Shan's.

It seemed that their Three Beast Savage Technique was indeed remarkable, even allowing the fusion of their soul power.

While Mo Yu marveled at this, Xiao Yixian descended lightly from the air, her steps graceful. When her gaze fell on the dazzlingly beautiful Cai Lin beside Mo Yu, her eyes froze momentarily. Then, without revealing any emotion, she asked Mo Yu, "Who is this?"

"A special friend. You can call her Cai Lin," Mo Yu replied vaguely, sensing a subtle tension in Xiao Yixian's grayish-purple eyes as they focused on him.

"Oh, so it's Miss Cai Lin."

Xiao Yixian nodded slightly, her cold face showing no change. Just as Mo Yu thought she would maintain her usual aloof demeanor, she surprised him by stepping forward.

Her grayish-purple eyes scrutinized Cai Lin's exquisitely perfect face. Then, Xiao Yixian unexpectedly smiled faintly and said, "Miss Cai Lin is truly beautiful. No wonder you are by Mo Yu's side."

Mo Yu, standing to the side, froze for a moment upon hearing this. The way Xiao Yixian phrased it made it sound like he was enamored with Cai Lin's beauty. Moreover, wasn't Xiao Yixian supposed to maintain her cold and proud demeanor right now?

While Mo Yu might have missed the subtle undertones of their interaction, Cai Lin certainly didn't. She could sense a trace of hostility and vigilance in this equally stunning and strong woman's words.

Her long lashes fluttered slightly as her gaze swept lazily between Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian. Cai Lin could vaguely sense that this woman, whose beauty and strength rivaled her own, seemed to harbor some special feelings for Mo Yu.

For some reason, this realization made Cai Lin frown slightly, a strange emotion stirring within her—an emotion that left her feeling somewhat irritable.

Turning to Mo Yu, her tone cooled considerably. "I'll help you this one time, but I'm leaving now."

As Cai Lin's figure disappeared into the distance, Mo Yu seemed to grasp something, shaking his head with a wry smile. He turned to Xiao Yixian and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to rest in the capital for a few days."

"No rush," Xiao Yixian replied. "Yan Luotian tried to escape, but I intercepted him. What do you intend to do with him?"

As she spoke, a golden figure quickly approached. When Yan Luotian saw the charred remains of the Mu Lan Three Elders, he trembled violently before forcing a flattering smile toward Mo Yu.

"Young Master Mo Yu, this was a mistake. I foolishly trusted the lies of the Mu Lan Three Elders and got involved in this mess with the Jia Ma Empire. I never intended to oppose you. Could you spare me? I am willing to compensate you with money."

Mo Yu's expression didn't change as he chuckled lightly. "Do you think I lack money?"

Yan Luotian froze at Mo Yu's words. At such a young age, Mo Yu commanded such a vast force. It was clear he wasn't short on wealth.

Glancing at the tragic state of the Mu Lan Three Elders, Yan Luotian's eyes darted nervously. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly said respectfully, "In that case, I am willing to join your forces, Young Master Mo Yu. Please spare my life."

"Join my forces?" Mo Yu raised an eyebrow at Yan Luotian's words.

Noticing Yan Luotian's shifty demeanor and sensing the rapid growth of the Black Lotus Soul Thunder within him, Mo Yu smiled meaningfully. "Very well. From now on, you are a member of Yuan Manor."

Surprised at how easily Mo Yu accepted his offer, Yan Luotian froze momentarily. A hint of hidden cunning flashed through his eyes before he quickly masked it and bowed respectfully. "Yes, greetings to the Manor Lord!"

Xiao Yixian, standing nearby, looked puzzled by Mo Yu's readiness to accept Yan Luotian into his ranks.

As a sect leader, Yan Luotian was unlikely to submit so easily. However, Xiao Yixian trusted that Mo Yu must have his own methods for handling the situation.

Fixing her silver eyes on Yan Luotian for a moment, Xiao Yixian then turned back to Mo Yu.

After settling the remnants of the Mu Lan Valley, Mo Yu glanced at the sky and gestured to the group. "Today's matters end here. Let's go."

With that, he turned to Yun Yun and said in a cold tone, "One month from now, I do not want to hear the name Yun Lan Sect again. Otherwise…"

Yun Yun gave a bitter smile, took a deep breath, and replied faintly, "Everything will be as you wish."

After subduing Yun Yun, Mo Yu nodded and whispered to Xiao Yan, "Let's go."

"Alright."

Xiao Yan nodded, glancing briefly at Yun Yun before spreading his fire wings and flying toward the capital. Behind him, Hai Bodong, Fa Ma, Xiao Yixian, Elder Yin Gu, and others followed closely.
