"You can't kill me! Lin Family forbids fighting or killing inside Seaside Base. Violators face sanctions from Lin and other families!"
Mo Yuan said nervously.
"Not begging and still threatening me? Seems you think the Mo Family's name lets you run wild, unaware of true power and respect. Today I'll teach you!"
Ye Tian grabbed Mo Yuan's arm and squeezed lightly.
Crack!
Mo Yuan screamed as his arm was disabled.
To heal, precious medicinal treasures would be required—something the Mo Family wouldn't waste on a Martial Artist with no potential.
"No!"
Mo Family wouldn't!
"Get lost!"
Ye Tian ordered coldly.
Mo Yuan dared not threaten Ye Tian further and fled in agony.
"Mo Family, don't do foolish things, or…"
A murderous gleam flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
Mo Yuan returned home and immediately reported to Mo Family head Mo Changsheng.
Mo Changsheng's talent was low, only Basic-grade, but thanks to Mo Family's resources, he reached early Elite Martial Artist at thirty. His status was high, as he was the son of Great Martial Artist Mo Changqing.
Mo Changqing had many children, most with Lesser-grade Talents, only a few Basic-grade, among which Mo Changsheng's Talent was the best.
"Head, you must do justice for me!" Mo Yuan sobbed, kneeling before Mo Changsheng.
"What happened to your arm? Did something go wrong inviting Ye Tian?" Mo Changsheng frowned.
"Ye Tian despises us! He cruelly disabled my arm," Mo Yuan cried and recounted Ye Tian's arrogance, painting himself as innocent and Ye Tian as villainous.
Mo Changsheng dismissed Mo Yuan and said nothing about treatment.
"Trash!"
He cursed Mo Yuan for failure.
Though Mo Yuan's words weren't entirely trusted, Mo Changsheng knew his nature—he must have offended Ye Tian.
But Ye Tian definitely refused the invitation; otherwise Mo Yuan wouldn't have offended him.
"Hmph, a mere Elite Martial Artist dares refuse us Ye Family. If not for my father using forbidden arts that consumed his lifespan, I'd never bother inviting an outsider!" Mo Changsheng bitterly thought.
Only a few knew of this—many Mo Family leaders did not.
Mo Changqing survived the Divine Strength Ant siege by using forbidden arts that shortened his life, escaping the Advanced Divine Strength Ant.
He could live no more than a year.
Mo Changsheng knew the family's situation—without a Great Martial Artist leader, Mo Family's future was bleak.
Ye Family had offended many clans; if those clans turned on Mo Family, disaster awaited.
Hence, Mo Changsheng wanted to strengthen the family.
Ye Tian was a prime choice.
Very young at sixteen but already an Elite Martial Artist with at least High-grade Cultivation Talent and Speed Talent exposed during the Divine Strength Ant mission. Many Martial Artists had witnessed this.
Speed Talent plus High-grade Cultivation Talent and simple background—such a genius was coveted by most powers.
Mo Family not only wanted to recruit but control Ye Tian, to secure a trump card for decades.
The best time was before Ye Tian rose.
Mo Changsheng headed to a secret underground chamber where his father, Mo Changqing, was recuperating.
"Father, Mo Yuan botched the task!" Mo Changsheng reported.
"Expected. Such geniuses are arrogant and scorn us. Refusing invitation is normal. If he won't come to Ye Family, we'll catch him anyway," Mo Changqing said coldly.
"Father, let Lin Family handle Ye Tian first. He crippled Mo Yuan; that's a good excuse," Mo Changsheng proposed quickly.
"Foolish!"
Mo Changqing snapped, "Mo Yuan is nothing but a common Martial Artist. Ye Tian's talent is tremendous and destined to become a true peak Great Martial Artist, unlike me, an ordinary one. Lin Family won't want to oppose him; they might recruit him instead. They're busy with base negotiations and won't have time to interfere. Once that's settled, we'll lose our chance!"
Mo Changsheng trembled and bowed, "Father, I'll organize a team to capture Ye Tian."
"Here, take this poison that erases intelligence. I paid dearly to get it from the big base. After forcing Ye Tian to consume it, Most of his intelligence will vanish, leaving him a dullard for a while. Memories lost, but Talent remains. Once recovered, we'll train him as a Death guard and fully control him!" Mo Changqing said maliciously.
"Good plan! Much better than poison with occasional antidotes!"
Mo Changsheng was excited.
After taking the poison, he left to arrange Ye Tian's capture.
Late at night, Mo Family deployed ten Elite Martial Artists, including two with special Talents: one with Lesser-grade Poison Talent and one with Basic-grade Swordsmanship Talent trained in a powerful Black Iron-level Sword Technique, specifically boosting attack power.
Though only early-stage Elite Martial Artists, these two's combat abilities matched mid-stage Elite Martial Artists.
Additionally, among the ten, two were mid-stage Elite Martial Artists.
In total, equivalent to four mid-stage and six early-stage Elite Martial Artists—enough to deal with a late-stage Elite Martial Artist.
To face an early-stage Elite Martial Artist with decent Speed Talent, this force was more than enough.
They had no idea who the prodigy they were about to confront truly was.
