Mo Family.
A large crowd had gathered there, but most people dared not enter. Only some Martial Artists from prominent families cautiously entered after waiting for a long time.
Soon, the tragic scene of Mo Family was revealed.
Except for children, women, and some ordinary people, nearly all high-ranking members and Martial Artists of Mo Family were dead or severely injured.
The sight of countless corpses shocked everyone present—it was practically a clan extermination!
"The elders and heads of Mo Family are all dead!" someone shouted after finding the bodies of Mo Changsheng and others.
At that moment, a Great Martial Artist from Lin Family arrived.
As the ruling family of Seaside Base, the Lin Family had to appear when such a major incident occurred—one of their families was slaughtered.
"Greetings, Lord Lin Ze!"
The gathered Martial Artists called out as an elder approached.
Lin Ze looked around, nodded slightly, then began examining the bodies of the Mo Family members.
"The killer was likely only one person. All these Martial Artists were killed with a single stroke each, indicating the killer's Knife Technique is truly terrifying. Judging from my assessment, the killer should be a Great Martial Artist skilled in Knife Technique!" Lin Ze concluded.
"A Great Martial Artist skilled in Knife Technique?"
Everyone present thought carefully; it seemed Seaside Base had no such Great Martial Artist.
"Mo Family also has a Great Martial Artist—where is he?"
Someone asked.
"Ask the surviving Mo Family members—they must have witnessed something!" suggested another Martial Artist.
So the crowd found surviving Mo Family members and, after questioning, understood the situation.
"Lord Lin Ze, we basically clarified that a person wearing a ghost mask broke into Mo Family. None of the Martial Artists could match him—not even Mo Changqing, the Great Martial Artist of Mo Family, who fled. The killer pursued him in that direction!"
One Martial Artist pointed eastward.
The East was where Lin Family was located, but the street leading there wasn't the same as Lin Ze's arrival route, so they missed it.
"Lord Lin Ze, should we go check it out?"
An Elite Martial Artist asked quietly.
They wanted to see but feared the killer, a Great Martial Artist who could one-shot Elite Martial Artists—and even Mo Changqing could only escape.
"Let's go see. That person probably has a grudge against Mo Family and has no feud with us. Besides, I am a Great Martial Artist of Lin Family; that person won't dare oppose us. You all can come with me!" Lin Ze said calmly.
So the Martial Artists followed Lin Ze in pursuit.
Bloodstains left by the fleeing Mo Changqing quickly led them to his corpse.
"Mo Changqing is dead!"
An Elite Martial Artist broke into a cold sweat.
This was a Great Martial Artist—someone he'd never reach in his lifetime. To him, great Martial Artists were like gods, and now such a powerful figure was dead.
The shock was immense.
Lin Ze immediately examined the corpse.
While checking, he spoke: "Mo Changqing's skin looks old—he must have used some Forbidden Art. Rumor says Mo Changqing obtained a Forbidden Art that boosts power at the cost of a shortened lifespan. Seems true, but even with this, Mo Changqing could only escape, proving how strong the killer is. Strange though—the killer caught him only after he was wounded. Did the killer also get hurt?"
Lin Ze then noticed the iron ball in Mo Changqing's hand, the needle holes on the body, and the scattered needles on the nearby walls.
"This is a hidden weapon—Iron Pearl, said to come from a mysterious faction. It's a suicide weapon with great power. At close range, even a Great Martial Artist struggles to escape its attack. Only those at the peak of Great Martial Artist level can evade it!"
Lin Ze was amazed, seeing this legendary weapon for the first time.
From the corpse, Mo Changqing triggered the weapon before death, successfully releasing it.
"That person isn't dead but likely seriously injured!"
Lin Ze deduced.
He turned grim.
The Mo Family was nearly wiped out; he cared little. But the emergence of such a mysterious Great Martial Artist in Seaside Base, with no news reaching Lin Family, was worrisome.
The key questions: who is this person? Why kill Mo Family? Would Lin Family be targeted?
These were concerns Lin Family had to consider.
"I'll return first."
Lin Ze left swiftly.
"Most Mo Family leaders are dead. Doesn't that mean few Martial Artists remain?"
Someone asked.
At that moment, many Martial Artists quietly left and entered Mo Family again with obvious intent.
That night, after suffering extermination, Mo Family was robbed.
No one knew who stole the family's wealth in the chaos. Even if Lin Family sought justice later, who would admit guilt? Who would stand up for a fallen Mo Family?
More importantly, the Mo Family had many enemies. With Mo Changqing alive, no family dared challenge them.
Now, with Mo Changqing and their Elite Martial Artists dead, Mo Family was a soft target.
Whether they could survive in Seaside Base was uncertain.
Mo Family was practically eliminated from Seaside Base.
Back home, Ye Tian quickly disposed of the ten Mo Family Elite Martial Artists' bodies—throwing them into various streets.
That night, so many Mo Family members died; adding ten more bodies wasn't unusual.
The next day, Ye Tian acted as if nothing had happened, casually going out and then returning to training.
Meanwhile, Lin Family was discussing Mo Family's fate.
Lin Ze was reporting to his eldest brother, Lin Wanli, the strongest in Lin Family.
"Brother, after last night's investigation and overnight inquiries, we think it was a vendetta killing. But who the killer is remains a mystery. Many had motives, but none had the power to wipe out Mo Family!" Lin Ze said helplessly.
"Any suspicious persons or coincidences?"
Lin Wanli asked.
"Suspicious and coincidental…"
Lin Ze thought hard and suddenly recalled something:
"Brother, among the surviving Mo Family Martial Artists is Mo Yuan. From him, I obtained some information possibly related, though I doubt he could have done this himself!"
