Hun Realm, Grand Hall

"You’re saying... the mission failed?"

At the head of the grand hall, Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at the trembling figure kneeling below. His voice was calm but carried an undeniable pressure.

"Yes... For some unknown reason, our movements were detected by Mo Yu and Xiao Yan. As soon as Hun You and the others arrived in the Black-Corner Region, they were completely wiped out by those two." The kneeling figure was drenched in cold sweat but managed to keep his report clear.

"How did Mo Yu and Xiao Yan discover their movements?" Hun Tiandi’s expression darkened.

"Patriarch, both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan hail from Jia Nan Academy. This time, the academy likely sensed danger and requested their assistance. In my opinion, they definitely had no prior knowledge of our objective!" The man hastily explained.

"Hmph! Those two brats are as cunning as foxes. Who can say for sure what they truly know? And if they weren’t already on alert, how could they have arrived in time even if the academy sent an emergency call?" A cold snort came from the side—Nihility Devouring Flame’s voice was filled with disdain.

Hearing this, the man kneeling below opened his mouth but ultimately chose to remain silent.

"So... are you suggesting that the allied forces also know about the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion in the Black-Corner Region?" Hun Tiandi frowned.

They had exhausted countless efforts to piece together the ancient jade and acquire this intelligence. How could Xiao Yan’s faction have learned about it so easily?

"It’s a possibility we can’t rule out." Nihility Devouring Flame’s black flames flickered as he spoke in a deep voice. "Regardless of whether they’re aware or not, it’s time for us to act. If we delay any longer and something unexpected happens, it would be a devastating blow to us!"

"Yes, hesitation leads to failure." Hun Tiandi pondered briefly before making his decision.

"What about Gu Yuan?" Nihility Devouring Flame asked.

"I’ve already had a spatial tunnel constructed in the northwestern region, connecting directly to the Hun Realm. When the time comes, you will lead our forces to the Black-Corner Region. As for Gu Yuan, I will personally keep him occupied." Hun Tiandi spoke in a composed manner.

"Understood." Nihility Devouring Flame hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement.

Yuan City, Stone Tower

At the top of a towering stone structure, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged. His vast soul power radiated outward, causing the entire tower to be shrouded in an oppressive force.

From the uppermost level, Gu Yuan’s expression was solemn, his eyes closed. His immense soul power extended into the void, searching for the direction of the Hun Realm with a mystical technique.

Suddenly, the space within the void trembled violently, twisting before coalescing into a shadowy figure standing with hands clasped behind his back.

The moment the figure appeared, Gu Yuan, who was far above in the stone tower, abruptly opened his eyes. With a cold snort, his figure flickered and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already standing before the figure.

"Hun Tiandi!"

Staring at the elegant man in white before him, Gu Yuan’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Of the four great clans back then, only the two of us remain. The ways of the world are truly unpredictable," Hun Tiandi commented with a faint smile.

"The fall of the other two... is not unrelated to you." Gu Yuan sneered.

Hun Tiandi remained indifferent, gazing at Gu Yuan before suddenly saying, "If you choose to cooperate with me, once I reach the Dou Di realm in the future, I will help you as well."

Gu Yuan was momentarily stunned—he hadn’t expected Hun Tiandi to attempt to recruit him. However, he soon chuckled. "Do you think that’s possible?"

"What a pity. You are one of the few I consider worthy of my attention." Hun Tiandi shook his head, seemingly regretful.

"Enough nonsense. You’re just trying to stall me, aren’t you?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked. With his intelligence, he quickly discerned that Hun Tiandi had no intention of making a move just yet. That could only mean one thing—he was being stalled.

Hun Tiandi chuckled, glanced at the invisible flow of time, and said, "I suppose it should be just about time..."

"The Ancient Emperor’s Mansion is in the Black-Corner Region, isn’t it?" Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

At these words, Hun Tiandi’s smile briefly stiffened before he regained his composure. He exhaled softly and said, "So, you do know after all..."

He didn’t bother denying it—Gu Yuan wouldn’t have said such a thing without substantial information. Denying it now would be meaningless.

"It seems the heavens do not favor you." Gu Yuan chuckled.

"We’ll see who prevails soon enough..." Hun Tiandi snorted coldly.

"Then let’s wait and see. Mo Yu and Xiao Yan are not to be underestimated." Gu Yuan smirked.

"Mo Yu, Xiao Yan..." Hun Tiandi couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling an inexplicable emotion rise in his heart.

Who would have thought that from the declining Xiao Clan and a mere subsidiary clan of the Lei Clan, two such geniuses would emerge? Even the mighty Hun Clan had suffered repeated setbacks at their hands, paying a heavy price each time...

"Gu Yuan, we’ll meet again in the Black-Corner Region!" After facing off for a while longer, the space around Hun Tiandi began to distort, and his figure gradually faded away.

Watching him disappear, Gu Yuan’s eyes flickered with a cold gleam. His figure flickered once more, and in an instant, he was inside Yuan City’s war council hall. Sweeping his gaze over Lei Ying and the others, he waved his hand and commanded in a firm voice:

"The allied forces will march to the Black-Corner Region. This time, we must stop the Hun Clan at all costs!"

Jia Nan Academy

On a tree-lined avenue, students bustled about, their youthful energy filling the air.

Unaware of the imminent war, they remained carefree, engrossed in discussions about the recent events involving Mo Yu and Xiao Yan. Their voices were filled with admiration and excitement, as if the two had become legendary figures.

Perched on a towering ancient tree, Mo Yu sat leisurely on a thick branch, gazing at the vast blue sky. His thoughts drifted far and wide.

Unknowingly, he had reached the threshold of the Dou Di realm. The pinnacle of the continent seemed to be within his grasp. Looking back, it had already been twenty years since he first arrived in this world...

"So many years..."

Mo Yu’s silver eyes lowered slightly as he murmured to himself. Memories of his time training at Jia Nan Academy remained vivid in his mind.

"It has been many years..."

A soft voice suddenly echoed beside him. Mo Yu opened his eyes slightly and turned to look at the woman beside him—a pair of long, alluring legs catching his attention. Smiling, he teased, "Yu’er, your legs are always so beautiful... no matter how many times I look."

After returning to Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yu, who had long held the position of the matriarch of the Xiao Clan, had come to visit. As a former student of the academy, the opportunity to return stirred great emotions within her.

Hearing Mo Yu’s playful praise, Xiao Yu’s delicate face flushed red, but deep down, she felt an undeniable joy. Among all of Mo Yu’s women, her legs were her greatest asset.

"Even as a ruler of Central Plains, you still lack any seriousness." She feigned annoyance.

Mo Yu chuckled. "Right now, it’s just the two of us. If I don’t indulge a little, how else will we enjoy our private time?"

With that, his gaze lingered on her slender, enticing legs as he laughed softly...

Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s delicate face flushed even redder. As she gazed into Mo Yu’s eyes, they shimmered with a watery glow, and even her beautiful legs, at some point, had unknowingly closed together...

Seeing her reaction, Mo Yu chuckled and pulled Xiao Yu into his embrace. After taking a deep breath of her fragrance, he did nothing further.

At this moment, the peaceful atmosphere alone was enough to make him enjoy it.

With the impending battle drawing near, Mo Yu knew that this might be the decisive fight. Yet, precisely because of this, the pressure in his heart had eased considerably.

Lying in Mo Yu’s arms, Xiao Yu tilted her head, gazing at his handsome face. Compared to back then, he had become even more mature and noble, making her breath quicken slightly.

After years of honing her skills while overseeing Yuan Manor, she understood just how outstanding—no, dazzling—this man before her was, even across the entire continent.

"If only we were somewhere else..." A sudden thought flashed in Xiao Yu’s mind, making her face turn crimson. She scolded herself inwardly for being shameless.

"What’s wrong? Thinking about spring?" At some point, Mo Yu had lowered his head and was now looking at her, teasing with a smile.

"Yeah, so what?" Xiao Yu blinked her bright eyes, lips curving into a playful smile. "You’ve been spending a lot of time at Lei Fei’er’s place lately. What? Is the taste of the Lei Clan’s esteemed lady so good that you can’t get enough of her?"

Despite her smile, the jealousy in her tone was unmistakable.

"Uh..." Mo Yu was momentarily stunned by her direct words. He hadn’t expected Xiao Yu to expose him so bluntly.

Clearing his throat, he spoke somewhat guiltily, "Well, isn’t it because Patriach Lei Ying keeps urging for a grandchild? And since Fei’er shares the same wish, I’ve been spending more time with her."

Even as he explained, memories of Lei Fei’er’s contrast in demeanor within the bedroom made a surge of heat rise within him. In the next moment, Xiao Yu suddenly felt something pressing against her lower body.

Sensing this foreign presence, her face reddened slightly. Then, she let out a soft snort and said, "You’re the leader of a great faction now, so naturally, you need an heir. This isn’t just your personal matter—it concerns the future of Yuan Manor and its hundreds of thousands of members."

"But if Fei’er needs a child, doesn’t Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin need one too?" Xiao Yu’s tone turned sly. "Maybe they’re just too shy to bring it up, but don’t you dare take this lightly. After all, every woman dreams of becoming a mother."

"So, you better not play favorites, or else..."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a mischievous smile curled on her lips. Then, just as Mo Yu was off guard, she suddenly shifted her weight downward.

A critical area, still in a combat-ready state, was suddenly struck, making Mo Yu suck in a sharp breath, his face contorting in pain.

"Are you okay...?" Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned. Panic flashed across her face as she hurriedly leaned forward, her expression filled with concern.

She had only meant to play a little joke, but if she had actually hurt him, she’d feel incredibly guilty.

Seeing Xiao Yu’s anxious and guilty expression, Mo Yu couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer.

With his current physical strength, not even a Dou Sheng expert could easily harm him, let alone Xiao Yu, who was only at the peak of Dou Zun.

"You—!"

Realizing she had been tricked, Xiao Yu puffed up her cheeks in frustration, glaring at Mo Yu.

"Hmph!"

In the next moment, she let out a huff and, unable to resist, bit his ear lightly. Then, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, she whispered, "You lied to me, so as punishment... you have to give me a child!"

As soon as the words left her lips, her face turned crimson. Embarrassed, she quickly flew away. But before leaving, she turned back and added, "This is a punishment—you can’t refuse!"

"Hmm, I promise you."

Standing atop the tree, Mo Yu clasped his hands behind his back, watching Xiao Yu’s departing figure with a smile. He wasn’t a fool—he knew that she was genuinely jealous.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, his expression suddenly turned solemn as his gaze locked onto the distant horizon.

There, he could sense violent energy fluctuations.

There was no need for words—he knew exactly what it meant.

"Swish! Swish!"

As Mo Yu focused, several figures flickered beside him. It was none other than Xiao Yan, Xun’er, Cai Lin, and the others.

"The Hun Clan has arrived?" Xiao Yan asked, staring into the distant sky.

Mo Yu nodded. Lowering his gaze, he looked toward the academy below, where all the instructors were leading their students toward the central plaza. A tense atmosphere enveloped the entire area.

"This battle... everyone, be careful." Mo Yu reminded in a low voice.

"Mm." Xiao Yan and the others nodded solemnly.

Mo Yu leaped down from the ancient tree and landed in the plaza. With a wave of his hand, a massive Deathly Silence Gate emerged, its enormous doors slowly opening to reveal a vast rift leading into the Deathly World.

"Grand Elder, don’t worry. I’ve cleared a safe zone within the Deathly World—there won’t be any harm to the students." Mo Yu reassured Su Qian.

The old man nodded and deeply bowed toward him. "Little fellow... thank you."

Then, without hesitation, Su Qian led the students into the Deathly Silence Gate. Behind him, a sea of academy disciples surged forward like a tide, disappearing into the rift.

As the last of the students entered, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan slowly ascended into the sky, looking into the distance.

There, dark clouds suddenly churned violently, racing across the horizon like a thunderous storm. Within the rolling darkness, a suffocating aura spread across the heavens and earth.

Facing this overwhelming presence, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his fists clenching tightly.

"The allied forces have arrived as well..."

Letting out a long breath, Mo Yu turned his gaze toward the northern sky. There, the space distorted violently as countless figures surged forth, slicing through the heavens like shooting stars, rushing toward Jia Nan Academy.

Seeing the two forces converging like two tides set for collision, Xiao Yan slightly nodded. Then, he threw his head back and let out a thunderous roar.

"Hun Clan! If it’s war you want, then today—we fight to the death!"
