After Xiao Zhan arrived, the conflict between the Xiao and Jia Lie families ca to an end.
Currently, the Xiao family is in its pri, with Xiao Zhan being a powerful five-star Da Dou Shi. If the two families were to go to war, the most likely outco would be both suffering, allowing the Oba family to swoop in and take advantage. After all, besides the Xiao and Jia Lie families, the Oba family has been waiting like a tiger eyeing its prey, hoping the two would destroy each other.
Xiao Zhan and Jia Lie Bi were no hot-headed youths. After exchanging harsh words, Jia Lie Bi reluctantly led Jia Lie Ao and the others away.
After this incident, the fa of the Xiao Family's "Twin Dragons" spread throughout Wu Tan City.
Before, if the other major families only saw the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons as promising youths and didn't pay too much attention, now, after seeing the strength and talent they displayed, they quickly added them to the list of people not to provoke.
Because of this, after the Xiao and Jia Lie families' conflict, many families began to secretly align themselves with the Xiao family.
After all, it was clear to everyone that as long as the Xiao Family's Twin Dragons didn't fall, they would surely beco formidable experts, shaking the empire in the future.
Within the Xiao family, after the recent market conflict, the family elders decided to secretly protect Mo Yu and Xiao Yan to prevent the Jia Lie family from launching any underhanded attacks out of desperation.
As for Mo Yu's role as market head, it was naturally suspended.
Mo Yu didn't mind. He focused entirely on cultivating.
Three days later, when Mo Yu erged from his retreat, his aura had beco even more profound.
"Seven-star Dou Zhe!"
During these three days of seclusion, after devouring Liu Xi's Dark Wolf Fla, Mo Yu had fully absorbed its energy, causing his Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to evolve once again.
Not only that, the feedback from this evolution propelled Mo Yu's strength to skyrocket by two stars, reaching the level of a seven-star Dou Zhe.
In just a few short months, he had advanced from one-star Dou Zhe to seven-star Dou Zhe, a feat that even among the eight ancient clans with Dou Di bloodlines, only a few outstanding mbers could achieve.
With the help of his Thunder Soul and Heavenly Thunder Body, not only did Mo Yu successfully break through, but his foundation was also exceptionally stable. His thunder-based Dou Qi had beco even more condensed and solid.
Coupled with his many hidden trump cards, even so low-star Dou Shi would struggle to deal with him.
Shortly after Mo Yu ca out of seclusion, a guard ca to inform him that the family was about to hold a eting. Curious about what had changed in the outside world over the past few days, Mo Yu decided to attend.
At the Xiao family's eting hall.
"Little Yu, you're here. Co sit," Xiao Zhan said with a wide smile when he saw Mo Yu enter.
TN: I use 'Little' because there is a character nad Xiao Yu as well.
He was becoming more and more pleased with Mo Yu. It was a pity he didn't have a daughter, or else he wouldn't have let the First Elder steal such a good match.
Not only could Mo Yu refine powerful tools like the Thunder Fire Bead, but his strength and talent were exceptional. His crushing victory over Liu Xi had greatly boosted the Xiao family's prestige.
"Brother Mo Yu, over here!" As Mo Yu greeted Xiao Zhan with a smile, he heard soone call out.
Looking over, he saw Xiao Yan lounging lazily in a chair, waving at him. There was an empty seat next to him.
Mo Yu smiled and walked over.
"Brother Xiao Yan, not with Xun'er today?" Mo Yu asked with a grin as he sat down.
"Isn't Brother Mo Yu also not with Cousin Xiao Yu?" Xiao Yan teased, recalling how the once-spoiled Xiao Yu acted like a gentle and obedient wife around Mo Yu, making Xiao Yan feel the world had truly changed.
Ignoring Xiao Yan's teasing, Mo Yu quietly sat down.
Sitting close, Xiao Yan suddenly noticed the subtle fluctuations in Mo Yu's aura. His brows furrowed slightly—had his mysterious cousin broken through again?
At the center of the hall, Xiao Zhan had a look of joy on his face as he listened to the report from his subordinates.
"The Jia Lie family's source of healing dicine has been cut off?"
After a mont of surprise, Xiao Zhan stood up abruptly, unable to hide his excitent.
Exchanging glances with the three elders, who were equally overjoyed, Xiao Zhan paced excitedly for a few monts before suppressing his emotions and asking with a smile, "What about their alchemist, Liu Xi?"
"No one knows. Ever since that day when Jia Lie Ao and Liu Xi clashed with Young Master Mo Yu and Young Master Xiao Yan, no one has seen him since the next morning."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were montarily stunned. Their eyes then shifted subtly towards Mo Yu, who was sitting calmly in his chair.
Mo Yu maintained a neutral expression, acting as though the matter had nothing to do with him.
In truth, Liu Xi's death was indeed related to him. That day, he had implanted a dou qi Thunder Soul into Liu Xi's body, which would explode upon the activation of Dou Qi.
As an alchemist, Liu Xi might not often engage in battle, but refining pills was a daily activity, requiring the use of fire-based Dou Qi. Naturally, that would spell the end for him.
Seeing Mo Yu's indifferent deanor, Xiao Zhan could only shake his head. He suspected that Liu Xi's disappearance was likely due to Mo Yu, but without evidence, he wouldn't press the matter further.
"By the way, Patriarch, I've received so information from a Jia Lie insider. It seems their Second Elder, Jia Lie Nu, was killed by a mysterious black-robed figure while transporting dicinal ingredients," the guard suddenly reported in a low voice.
Mo Yu glanced sideways at Xiao Yan.
Jia Lie Nu was soone they had encountered during the auction for weapons. He was a powerful three-star Da Dou Shi, one of the top combatants in Wu Tan City.
Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel at the perks of having an old master by one's side.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's eyelid twitched slightly. After a mont, he nodded, dismissing the informant. Then, he turned a suspicious gaze towards Xiao Yan.
"Yan'er, to easily kill a three-star Da Dou Shi like Jia Lie Nu... apart from your teacher, there's probably no one else in Wu Tan City capable of doing such a thing, right?"
Xiao Yan shrugged casually and nodded.
While he couldn't reveal too much about Yao Lao, this small admission wasn't a big deal.
"Now, let's see how the Jia Lie family cleans up this ss." Xiao Zhan chuckled, clearly reveling in their misfortune.
With their only alchemist gone and their dicinal ingredients destroyed, it was clear that the Xiao family had the upper hand in this battle.
As he thought about it, Xiao Zhan glanced at the two boys sitting quietly in the hall.
The Xiao family owed much of its recent success to these two young geniuses.
