Chapter 627: They've Been Wiped Out

Ye Guan was shocked. He hadn't anticipated that the Mo Clan would send people to the Time River to capture his family members. Well, I guess itmakes sense. It's not strange for them to resort to such a method just to force me out of the First God Paradise. Threatening my loved ones... what a cunning move indeed.

Ye Guan suppressed his lips, which were about to curl up into a smile, and asked, "Did you manage to capture them?"

Mo Tiandu stared deeply at Ye Guan; he struggled to maintain his composure as he said, "Ye Guan, your father and mother are with us, and I promise you that they'll suffer in ways that you can't even imagine if you keep on killing our clan members. Our methods are beyond your comprehension."

Ye An glared disdainfully at Mo Tiandu, but he didn't say anything at all.

"You despicable cowards!" Ye Guan abruptly roared, "Aren't you Descendants of the Gods? How come you're willing to stoop so low?!"

Mo Tiandu sighed in relief upon witnessing Ye Guan's reaction to his words. So he's not actually completely bluffing. Chen Yu must be at the Time River by now. With him leading the charge, there should be no room for error. Ye Guan's parents must be in Chen Yu's custody at this point, but... how come Chen Yu has yet to return with them?

Pushing these thoughts aside, Mo Tiandu regained his composure and calmly asked, "Young Master Ye, shall we talk?"

Mo Tiandu believed that the ball was in his court and that he had the right to initiate a conversation.

Ye Guan glared fiercely at Mo Tiandu, and his furious eyes made him appear like a wild beast.

Ye An kicked Ye Guan in the rear and said, "Stop pretending."

Mo Tiandu furrowed his brows at the sight. Pretending? What does she mean by "pretending?"

Swoosh!

Both Ye Guan and Ye An vanished from their original spots, reappearing instantly in front of Mo Tiandu.

"You..." Mo Tiandu was caught off guard, but he moved swiftly and took on a defensive stance.

Boom!

Mo Tiandu was sent hurtling backward. The next moment, he found himself impaled in place by a sword. His fleshy body was destroyed, leaving only his soul.

Mo Tiandu stared at Ye Guan in disbelief, his voice trembling as he said, "You... you've chosen to abandon your parents?"

"Yes," Ye Guan responded calmly.

"You ungrateful wretch!" Mo Tiandu roared, locking eyes with Ye Guan sa he said, "Do you not have any idea what's going to happen to your parents now? They'll suffer—"

"I'm going to be honest with you," Ye Guan interrupted.

Mo Tiandu furrowed his brows, staring at Ye Guan with clear confusion on his face.

"In our family, my sister and I are the weakest..." Ye Guan said in a matter-of-factly way.

Mo Tiandu was stunned.

Just then, an elder hurried over from the distance. He was the third elder whom Mo Tiandu had sent out to seek help from the Chen Clan.

The third elder's face was pale, and his voice was trembling as he stammered, "C-c-clan leader! Chen Yu's soul lamp has exploded! They... They've been wiped out."

Mo Tiandu's mind went blank. Chen Yu and the others have been wiped out? How is that possible?

Mo Tiandu couldn't even begin to understand such a harsh reality, not to mention accept it.

Ye Guan glanced at Mo Tiandu. I guess Mother will soon be arriving in this Old Era.

Mo Tiandu's complexion turned ashen, and he knew that it was all over. He suddenly recalled one person—Mo Yaoyao. Upon recalling Mo Yaoyao's face, Mo Tiandu realized that the smartest member of the entire Mo Clan had been his own daughter all this while.

If he had followed Mo Yaoyao's suggestions and devoured the Wang Clan first before observing the situation from the sidelines, the Mo Clan would have been the ultimate victor.

Mo Tiandu revealed a bitter smile. He looked up and murmured, "So, even the Gods aren't invincible..."

With that, Mo Tiandu vanished completely. He was too arrogant and confident to listen to Mo Yaoyao's advice at the time, and it was a personality that stemmed from their belief in the invincibility of the Gods. Little did he know that the Gods weren't as formidable as he thought. Had he known of it, he wouldn't have been so rash. Alas, it was too late for regrets.

Now that Mo Tiandu was dead, Ye Guan and Ye An were about to deal with the rest of the members of the Mo Clan when a lady approached Ye Guan from his right.

The young lady was wearing a striking crimson dress, and Ye Guan was astonished upon seeing her.

"It's you!" Ye Guan exclaimed. The young lady was none other than Mo Yaoyao.

Ye An furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Your wife?"

Ye Guan couldn't help but feel exasperated. "Big Sis, why do you always assume that every beautiful lady is my wife?"

"It's your fault for being such a womanizer. I suggest you stop such antics, or you'll have a battlefield in your backyard every day."

"Actually..." Little Pagoda chimed in, "It's the ladies who are often making advances toward the young master. Women are more pragmatic than men, after all. Ugly men will never understand just how proactive women can be..."

Ye An glanced at Ye Guan. True. If he were ugly, I wouldn't even acknowledge him as my brother.

"It's been a while, Young Master Ye," Mo Yaoyao said with a smile.

Ye Guan smiled as well and asked, "Miss Yaoyao is from the Mo Clan?"

"Indeed." Mo Yaoyao nodded. She then revealed a subtle smile and said, "Young Master Ye, can you perhaps spare them—”

"No way." Ye Guan shook his head firmly.

Mo Yaoyao was taken aback.

Ye Guan revealed a gentle smile and said, "Right and wrong... I'm sure you know how to differentiate between the two. I'm not gonna bother explaining."

Mo Yaoyao sighed softly, and a touch of vulnerability tinged her voice as she said, "Young Master Ye, can't we find a middle ground?"

However, Ye Guan was silent. The next moment, he transformed into a streak of light and killed the remaining Mo Clan members.

Mo Yaoyao was stupefied, and then she chuckled wryly to herself. What an intriguing man.

"He has quite a few wives," Ye An said from out of nowhere.

"How many?"

"Over a hundred..."

Soon, the remaining members of the Mo Clan were slain by Ye Guan. He wasn't a demon of slaughter who enjoyed killing, but there were some things that simply needed to be done.

Most importantly, it was imperative to eradicate the roots if one wanted to get rid of the weeds.

Once the dust had settled, Ye Guan turned to Mo Yaoyao and said, "Take care, Miss Yaoyao."

With that, Ye Guan and Ye An departed, leaving the corpses of the Mo Clan behind them.

Mo Yaoyao stared at the corpses, and a hodgepodge of emotions flickered in her eyes. A once mighty family had just been annihilated. It seemed that no one could truly predict when misfortune would strike.

However, the downfall of the Mo Clan was entirely of their own making. They had placed far too much trust in the Gods. Mo Yaoyao couldn't comprehend why her own people had such blind faith in those Gods. After all, the First God had once said that each individual was their own God. Unfortunately, it was a common sight; many knew the truth, but few lived by it.

Mo Yaoyao turned around and left. She hadn't come to the Mo Clan to save them; she had come here to save that lady.

As for the Mo Clan, they had brought their horrible fate upon themselves, and they weren't worthy of even a smidgen of pity.

***

After wiping out the Mo Clan, Ye Guan and Ye An proceeded to annihilate the Chen Clan and the Qin Clan.

Soon, they reached the Zhao Clan and were about to start a slaughter when the siblings frowned.

The air above the Zhao Clan was tense, and it made them feel a bit threatened.

Ye Guan and Ye An exchanged glances, feeling perplexed.

Just then, Zhao Tianji appeared before them. He smiled lightly and asked, "Young Master Ye, can we settle this matter amicably?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No."

"Can we resolve it with a one-on-one duel?"

"You want to duel me?"

Zhao Tianji nodded. "Yes."

Before Ye Guan could respond, Ye An grabbed his arm, and she sounded serious as she said, "Something's off."

“Yeah, just keep an eye out."

"You sure?"

Ye Guan nodded and walked up to Zhao Tianji.

Why would I refuse a challenge from Zhao Tianji when I'm striving to become invincible among my peers? He's one of my peers, so how can I decline his challenge?

Zhao Tianji's smile deepened at Ye Guan's decision. "Let's draw our weapons."

Swoosh!

Ye Guan vanished, and Zhao Tianji took a step forward at the same time.

An illusory long spear burst out of him, and then his fleshly body and soul erupted into a mighty conflagration, allowing Zhao Tianji's spear force and spear aura to reach brand-new heights.

Zhao Tianji had decided to stake his life for the sake of performing one move—it was all or nothing.

Zhao Tianji never had any plans of fighting Ye Guan in a prolonged battle, and he only had one goal—to catch Ye Guan off guard.

To do that, Zhao Tianji decided to unleash his ultimate move from the get-go.

Zhao Tianji thrust his spear forward, and the world became illusory, seemingly melting away into nothingness.

Ye Guan's sword descended just then.

Clang!

Ye Guan's sword shattered Zhao Tianji's spear before piercing the latter's chest.

Ye Guan's figure had taken on a crimson hue, and the power of his three distinct bloodlines was surging within him like tidal waves.

Zhao Tianji stared in shock at Ye Guan.

"I gave it my all," Ye Guan said. Even a lion had to go all out against a hare, and Ye Guan understood that well.

Zhao Tianji chuckled and said, "I've lost."

Just as Ye Guan was about to strike once again, a terrifying aura swept across him.

Ye Guan turned and saw an old man a thousand meters away.

He was dressed in a loose black robe and had a head full of white hair. Ye Guan stared at the old man, feeling astonished because he couldn't sense the old man's aura.

The old man walked up to Ye Guan and Ye An. Smiling gently, he said, "Young Master Ye, my Zhao Clan is indeed at fault here. My Zhao Clan has decided to surrender to you, Young Master Ye. Would you be willing to spare our lives?"

Ye Guan smiled. "What if I'm not willing?"

The old man sighed and said, "In that case, we'll have to fight to the death. But before that, I have some news to tell Master Ye. I'm hoping to exchange that news for my Zhao Clan's safety."

Ye Guan stared at the old man and said, "Sure, I'm curious."

The old man's mouth fluttered open as he spoke.

Ye Guan and Ye An's expressions changed drastically at the old man's words.
