"Ge Ye? Just you? You're not up to it!"
"Bring people! All of you, take down Ge Ye first and then we'll talk."
Mo Cheng did not want to delay, he only wished for a quick battle and swift resolution.
Only by holding Nalan Yan Ran in his hands could he survive.
And only then would the Yunlan Sect have some reservations and not act against him.
He was well aware of his own strength. If he were to really clash head-on with the Yunlan Sect, they could casually send a few strong ones and make the Mo Family disappear from the Jia Ma Empire.
After entangling Ge Ye, Mo Cheng charged straight towards Nalan Yan Ran.
As long as he could control Nalan Yan Ran, his life would soar to great heights!
"Hahahaha, I, Mo Cheng, will definitely become a Douhuang (Battle Emperor) Strong One!"
"I originally thought I had no chance. If it weren't for you, Nalan Yan Ran, coming to point out my crimes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of such an extreme method. But now... Hahaha, with just one elixir from Xu Ran, I could become a Douhuang or even a Douzong," Mo Cheng laughed maniacally.
Ya Fei, Yun Yun, Queen Medusa, Gu He... they all obtained great benefits from Xu Ran's hands.
Presumably, as long as he controlled Nalan Yan Ran, he could obtain even more from Xu Ran.
However, the very next moment, just as he was nearly approaching Nalan Yan Ran, he was horrified to find that he couldn't move at all, his body as though pressed down by something, completely immobile.
"What is this?"
"What's going on?"
Mo Cheng was engulfed in terror, a deep chill sweeping through his body.
Could it be...
If he had Nalan Yan Ran under his control, perhaps he could negotiate terms with the Yunlan Sect and that strong one. Only then might he have a chance to survive.
But if...
Mo Cheng used all his tricks, charging with full force at Nalan Yan Ran, hoping to capture her.
Yet that thirty centimeters felt incredibly distant.
Even though she was within reach, it felt as though she was at the ends of the earth.
"Family Head, what is this..."
The Mo Family members, watching this scene, were also terribly afraid.
They were not fools, naturally seeing what was happening.
At this moment, they wished they could kill Mo Cheng themselves; he was going to bring disaster to the Mo Family. How could the Mo Family oppose the Yunlan Sect? How could they stand against that Lord?
Indeed, that Lord's methods were miraculous, capable of turning stone to gold.
Even Ya Fei, who had no talent for cultivation, became a superpower user in that Lord's hands.
But to obtain such strength, one first had to be alive.
For such a strong one, if he really kidnapped his woman, even if he truly obtained the elixirs, he would certainly face the strong one's vengeance afterward, and ultimately meet a violent death.
The blood-red glint in Mo Cheng's eyes, born of greed, slowly dissipated as he regained his sense and wished he could slap himself twice. Because he used the Transplant Technique to graft organs from other superpower users, often he couldn't completely control his own body. This was the downside of the Transplant Technique. However, every time he grew stronger through the Transplant Technique, that sensation would spur you to continue, leading you into an inescapable abyss.
That's why he had foolishly acted in the heat of the moment.
"It's over. Not just me, but the Mo Family is finished too."
Mo Cheng felt as though his heart had turned to ash, for he understood.
Who could possibly have the strength to imprison his movements within the Jia Ma Empire?
"Master? Or?"
Nalan Yanran was overjoyed, her beautiful eyes looking forward with some anticipation.
It had been so long since she had seen Xu Ran, she missed him dearly.
"Mo Cheng, do you know your crime?"
Yun Yun arrived walking on air, dressed in a green robe, standing in the void with the powerful pressure of a Douzong (Battle Emperor) emanating from her. She never imagined that Mo Cheng would have such audacity to try to capture Yan Ran for a deal with Xu Ran.
It was quite an idea Mo Cheng had come up with.
Truly a man whose mind was corroded by power.
"Yun Yun Sect Master?" When Mo Cheng saw Yun Yun, he completely despaired. He knew he was finished; having committed such a grave error, Yun Yun would not give him a chance.
Moreover, the misdeeds of the Mo Family from before were now known; with so many crimes on his head, he was sure to have no resting place in death.
"Sect Master Yun, it was all done by the Family Head alone, our loyalty to the Yunlan Sect has always been true. Please spare us, Sect Master Yun."
"We were all forced by the Family Head."
The people of the Mo Family all knelt on the ground, begging for Yun Yun's forgiveness.
Yun Yun looked at these people, her heart untouched; she was not the type to be softhearted. If she were to be merciful to the Mo Family today, wouldn't other subordinates of the Yunlan Sect dare to follow suit in the future?
Besides, Xu Ran would not forgive them either.
"Yan Ran, are you okay?"
Xu Ran descended from the sky and came to Nalan Yanran's side, drawing the delicate frame of the girl into his embrace.
"Xu Ran, you've come?" Nalan Yanran's eyes, which had been filled with disappointment, suddenly lit up, excitedly looking at the man in front of her and tightly hugging his waist.
"Why didn't you come sooner? Hmph. Have you been fooling around with other girls these days? You didn't come to see me at Yunlan Sect, I missed you so much, and yet you didn't come to find me..." The girl felt very aggrieved, all the words she had held back for so long suddenly came pouring out to Xu Ran.
Ever since her return to the Yunlan Sect, she had been pining away day and night, dreaming only of Xu Ran.
If Xu Ran did not come to find her, she would not have been able to help herself from searching for him.
But Xu Ran liked to wander around, and she feared she might not be able to find him.
"It's all my fault."
Xu Ran held the girl tightly and patiently listened to her complaints. She was still quite sensitive; even without seeing it with her own eyes, she knew he was flirting with other women.
"You, are you Xu Ran?"
At this moment, Mo Cheng suddenly looked up, staring at Xu Ran, his pupils filled with deep despair and shock.
He had not expected that this young man before him was the superpower user who had caused turmoil throughout the Jia Ma Empire. Now that even he was here, Mo Cheng was certain of his fate.
The others around them were also staring at Xu Ran in astonishment.
Only Xu Ran could be treated with such affection by Nalan Yanran, it had to be the legendary Lord Xu Ran.
At this point, everyone in the Mo Family despaired.
They knew that with this being's arrival, they had no chance of survival.
"Xu Ran, please spare them. It's mostly that Mo Cheng who's bad, the others aren't so terrible," Nalan Yanran pleaded from Xu Ran's embrace, feeling somewhat sympathetic.
"My lord, yes, it was all my doing, please spare my family," Mo Cheng had a sudden realization at this moment. It was only now that he understood; from the moment he began to pursue the Transplant Technique, using such cruel methods to gain strength, he was no longer himself. Even if he gained power temporarily, he was bound to die in the pursuit of power eventually.
"You little girl. If you don't eradicate the roots when cutting grass, the spring breeze will bring it back to life. There are things, once done, that must come at a price, that's the rule," Xu Ran said as he stroked Nalan Yanran's long hair, his cold tone making everyone present sense a killing intent.
