In the spacious hall, Mo Yu slowly walked in, led by a servant of the Ye family. 

After bringing Mo Yu inside, the servant bowed and left. At the same time, an aged yet imposing voice echoed through the hall. 

"I am Ye Fan. Welcome, Young Master Mo Yu, to the Ye family as a guest." 

Hearing this, Mo Yu immediately looked towards the center of the hall. An elderly man with an unhealthy complexion was slowly approaching, followed by Ye Cong, the patriarch of the Ye family. 

Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly understood the identity of the old man—the Ye family's ancestor and their stabilizing pillar, the three-star Dou Ling expert, Ye Fan. 

Sensing the frail aura from the elder, Mo Yu realized that the damage to the Sixfold Grand Void Sword had greatly affected him. 

"Hehe, greetings to Grand Elder Ye and Patriarch Ye Cong." Despite standing before a Dou Ling expert, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly with a relaxed tone. 

The strength of a Dou Ling was indeed formidable, but that was for a Dou Ling in their prime. Judging by the current state of the Ye family's ancestor, it was uncertain how much of his power he could still wield. 

Besides, even if he were in his prime, what could he do? For Mo Yu, who possessed the Purple Cloud Wings, if he couldn't win, he could simply run away. Worst case scenario, he'd just add the Ye family to his blacklist. 

Seeing Mo Yu's fearless demeanor, a sharp glint flickered in the elder's cloudy eyes. Such behavior from Mo Yu was either due to arrogance, confidence in his strength, or having a powerful backing. 

Could someone capable of using the Ye family as a tool against the Mo family really be a fool? 

With this thought, Ye Fan's aged face softened slightly, and he smiled warmly, saying, "A few days ago, I heard about Young Master Mo Yu from Ye Cong, and seeing you today, you indeed live up to the reputation of a dragon among men." 

Beside him, Ye Cong also nodded with a smile. Having personally exchanged blows with Mo Yu, he was well aware of the boy's terrifying abilities—particularly his powerful soul force, which left Ye Cong helpless. 

Hearing Ye Fan's flattery, Mo Yu merely smiled indifferently. If he truly believed such words from this old fox, he'd be sold out before he even realized it. 

"The conditions I mentioned a few days ago, has the Ye family made a decision?" Mo Yu asked directly, narrowing his eyes slightly. 

Seeing Mo Yu go straight to the point, Ye Fan's old face stiffened slightly. He then glanced at the calm youth before him. Though he looked young, he clearly wasn't someone who could be easily fooled. 

"Young Master Mo Yu, are you really confident that you can repair my Sixfold Grand Void Sword?" Ye Fan asked anxiously. 

The Sixfold Grand Void Sword was something Ye Fan had obtained in his youth during his travels in an empire that revered the way of the sword. Along with the sword, he had also acquired a fragmented secret technique known as the Sword Control Technique. 

Relying on the Sixfold Grand Void Sword and the incomplete Sword Control Technique, he had made a name for himself in the northeastern province, laying the foundation for the Ye family's vast estate. 

Unfortunately, the Sword Control Technique emphasized the connection between its master and the sword. When the sword was damaged, the master would also be injured. Furthermore, since the technique was incomplete, Ye Fan couldn't heal the severely damaged sword himself. As a result, he had rarely used the Sixfold Grand Void Sword in recent years. 

However, a year ago, an old enemy from his youth suddenly came to seek revenge. Although Ye Fan, using the Sixfold Grand Void Sword, managed to kill the opponent—who had the strength of a four-star Dou Ling—the sword was heavily damaged, and Ye Fan's injuries had worsened. 

Being able to use the incomplete Sword Control Technique to kill a four-star Dou Ling despite being only a three-star himself was impressive, but the aftereffects left Ye Fan in constant distress. If the Sixfold Grand Void Sword was not repaired soon, he feared he might pass away prematurely. 

Seeing the hope in the elder's eyes, Mo Yu pulled out the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear and said indifferently, "I personally forged this spear. Now, you tell me whether I can repair your Sixfold Grand Void Sword." 

Hearing is one thing, but seeing is believing. Upon seeing the imposing spear in Mo Yu's hands, a look of joy and surprise flashed across Ye Fan's eyes. 

He was overjoyed because his Sixfold Grand Void Sword could finally be repaired. Not only would his injuries gradually heal, but the sword had also accompanied him for most of his life—it meant more to him than his own children. 

He was also surprised that someone as young as Mo Yu could forge a weapon of such high quality. His future prospects were undoubtedly limitless. 

Gradually hiding his expression, Ye Fan's face returned to its usual cunning look. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Young Master Mo Yu, your condition is for my Ye family to join forces with you to destroy the Mo family. However, even if I were to fully recover, I'm not certain I could defeat Mo Cheng, that old fox. 

I've heard from Ye Cong that Young Master Mo Yu is aware of the Yun Lan Sect severing ties with the Mo family. Might I ask if you have any relationship with the Yun Lan Sect? Could you perhaps request some reinforcements, or even have your teacher lend a hand? If so, our chances would be much greater." 

Hearing Ye Fan's "sincere" advice, Mo Yu couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This old fox still wanted to take advantage while avoiding direct involvement. 

His relationship with Yun Yun was close, but that didn't mean he had any special relationship with the Yun Lan Sect. If he could command the forces of the Yun Lan Sect or have some fictitious master take action, why would he need the Ye family? 

Shaking his head, Mo Yu coldly replied, "It seems Elder Ye is still unaware of the Ye family's precarious situation. I've heard that the Mo family has recently been actively recruiting friendly forces to form an alliance." 

Ye Fan and Ye Cong exchanged glances upon hearing this. Then, Ye Cong spoke up, "We did hear some rumors about this. However, with the Yun Lan Sect severing ties with the Mo family, I doubt many factions will respond to their alliance." 

Shaking his head at Ye Cong's naive thinking, Mo Yu sneered, "A cornered dog will fight even more fiercely. In my opinion, not only will the Mo family continue to push for this alliance, but they will also accelerate the process. Without the Yun Lan Sect's protection, they will need to rapidly expand their power to maintain their position as the top family in the northeastern province. 

"Once the Mo family forms the Mo Alliance, the other two of the Four Great Families, the Qin and Wang families—who have been intermarrying for generations—will likely form a joint defensive alliance. At that point, where does that leave the Ye family? Will you join the alliance only to be slowly swallowed by the Mo family, or will you resist alone and become an example for the others?" 

Hearing Mo Yu's grim depiction of the future, both Ye Fan and Ye Cong shuddered. It was as if they were staring at a devil in the form of the young man before them. 

They couldn't understand how a youth not even twenty years old could think so far ahead. More disturbingly, his words weren't just fear-mongering—they were very plausible. 

In fact, the reality was even more dire than what Mo Yu described. The Ye family's pillar, Ye Fan, was already gravely injured and close to death. If the Mo family made a move, the Ye family wouldn't even have the strength to resist. 

In just a few short sentences, Mo Yu had seemingly backed the Ye family into a corner, leaving them with no other option. 

The Mo family, the strongest and most ambitious of the Four Great Families, and the Ye family, currently at their weakest—there was no way for both to coexist. 

After a long silence, Ye Fan finally opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing in them as he solemnly said, "The Ye family agrees to Young Master Mo Yu's terms!"
