The earth shook and the mountains crumbled.
It all happened in an instant.
Luo Qiu was greatly startled.
Suddenly, she realized a new problem.
Mo Yan had never shown up.
"Where's your father?"
"My father is surely off to accomplish something more important."
Luo Qiu knew exactly what Mo Bai meant by "something more important".
She tried to leave in a hurry.
But Mo Bai sneered.
He lunged at Luo Qiu.
"It's too late for you to leave now, senior."
Luo Qiu stared at him coldly.
"Do you think you can stop me?"
"Of course, it's not just me."
Luo Qiu's eyes widened.
From behind Mo Bai, hundreds of figures suddenly emerged.
They were the strange and powerful people from the Kyushu Continent.
Luo Qiu had met most of these experts before. Back then, deceived by Mo Yan into believing they could revive her sister, she had traveled across the continents. To make these high - level alchemists obey the Ghost Domain, she had planted bone - eating insects on them.
However, looking at the madness in the eyes of these suddenly - appeared high - level alchemists, it seemed that Mo Yan had added something else to those insects besides the bone - eating ones.
"Senior, it's the Speechless Powder."
The Speechless Powder could be ground into powder and fed to the insects. Once the bone - eating insects ate it and entered a person's body, it could not only force the person to keep the secrets of the Ghost Domain but also make them lose their minds at critical moments and obey the orders of the Ghost Domain's master.
It seemed that Mo Yan had anticipated this day long ago.
His scheme against Luo Qiu had started many years ago.
These powerful people had been kept by the Ghost Domain for many years.
Now, they had all been unleashed.
Presumably, they were prepared for gathering powerful souls today.
Mo Yan was truly Mo Yan.
This dark and powerful army had even escaped Luo Qiu's notice.
In this situation, not only was it certain that the Eastern Clan would be defeated, but even with Gu Hanxun and her, the outcome was still uncertain.
As soon as those high - level alchemists from several continents appeared, Dongfang Yan's expression changed instantly.
How could they be a match for such a powerful opponent?
The King of the Eastern Continent laughed.
"I wouldn't have invited you here without a foolproof plan."
Dongfang Yan's army was instantly routed.
Those high - level alchemists from various continents joined forces to deal with Luo Qiu, while the huge army of secret guards from the Ghost Domain targeted the army of the Eastern Clan.
They were already at a disadvantage. They had hoped that with the help of the two experts, they could hold on, but now it seemed like a pipe dream.
"Is it really the end for the Eastern Clan? Are we all going to die in this battle?" Dongfang Yan roared.
Several clan elders quickly gathered.
At this moment, a huge fireball hurtled towards Dongfang Yan.
Instinctively, Dongfang Yan wanted to dodge.
But behind him were the old generals and soldiers who had fought for the Eastern Clan for many years. If he dodged, their casualties would be immeasurable.
"Clan leader, dodge quickly!"
But Dongfang Yan seemed determined. He didn't move an inch.
Moreover, it seemed that he was about to self - detonate.
Seeing this, the clan elders understood Dongfang Yan's intention.
They were also facing tough opponents and couldn't spare any energy to help.
But at this critical moment, a purple light flashed from behind the Eastern Clan.
In an instant, it reached Dongfang Yan's back.
Then, an extremely powerful force entered Dongfang Yan's body.
A deep male voice sounded in his ear.
"Self - detonating like this. You're not worthy of being the clan leader of the Eastern Clan."
This voice?
It was Dongfang Yuxi.
With Dongfang Yuxi's help, Dongfang Yan instantly split the fireball into multiple parts with a more powerful force, minimizing its impact.
"Child, you—"
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not here for you."
Dongfang Yan lowered his eyes.
He didn't dare to expect that Dongfang Yuxi was here for the Eastern Clan.
Dongfang Yuxi's appearance was unexpected.
After resolving the crisis for Dongfang Yan, he flew towards Luo Qiu.
Although Luo Qiu had never met Dongfang Yuxi, she could immediately recognize his origin from the moves similar to her sister's.
"Are you Sister Ling's younger sister?"
"Are you Dongfang?"
"Yes, I'm here to help you."
"Where's Miss?"
"She has something to do. She told me to tell you that you must hold this place and minimize the casualties, whether it's the Eastern Clan or the palace."
Luo Qiu nodded.
Gu Hanxun also nodded.
They both understood.
"But with the current situation, the palace has multiple sources of help. The soldiers of the Eastern Clan may not be able to withstand the attack."
"It doesn't matter."
As Dongfang Yuxi finished speaking, another team emerged from behind the original one.
Looking at the number of people, there were more than the helpers from the Ghost Domain invited by the palace.
"What's this?"
"These are the people from the Shuiyunsheng Gang that Sister Ling has mobilized. With them, the Eastern Clan won't be defeated."
Zhao Shuning had really planned everything so precisely.
So, where was Zhao Shuning now?
Was she on the way to stop Mo Yan?
But how did she know where Mo Yan was going?
Seeing Luo Qiu's doubts, Dongfang Yuxi explained while fighting the enemy, "Otherwise, do you think the people from the Shuiyunsheng Gang would show up now?"
Right.
The Shuiyunsheng Gang was now the largest gang in the world. There were many of their people even in the Eastern Continent. If they really intended to help the Eastern Clan, they should have appeared before the attack, not now when the Eastern Clan was on the verge of defeat.
So, before this, they must have been busy with something else.
It seemed that they had been secretly monitoring Mo Yan's movements.
Mo Yan was truly remarkable.
This time, Zhao Shuning had almost mobilized all the elites of the Shuiyunsheng Gang. Taking advantage of the conflict between the royal family and the great clans in the Eastern Continent, they had sneaked into the capital and hidden themselves without being discovered.
Even with so many elites mobilized, it had taken them a great deal of effort to track Mo Yan's movements. If it weren't for the powerful tracking techniques taught by Ye Xingchen and the fact that all the people sent this time were elites of the Shuiyunsheng Gang, finding Mo Yan's trace would have been more difficult than climbing to the sky.
"As expected of my sister."
"Of course. No one has ever doubted Ningning's abilities."
Seeing the suddenly - appeared reinforcements of the enemy, Mo Bai's frown deepened.
"Do you think you can stop the Ghost Domain like this? It's impossible. The more of you come, the better. I'll use you to sacrifice to the powerful force that is about to awaken."
Mo Bai clenched his fists tightly.
Dozens of powerful forces surged out of his body.
Those forces transformed into the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the White Tiger, the Azure Dragon, leopards, and various fierce beasts that only existed in ancient times.
"How much power of the fierce beasts has he absorbed?"
