The elder glanced at Mo Youran and said in a deep voice:

"You are already so grown-up, why do you still think about matters so superficially? Here, who could be a match for the Moonlight Emperor? Since you can't compete with them, you should learn to keep a low profile."

"Yet, you have repeatedly provoked others. Do you really think they wouldn't dare to kill you? If you die, so be it, but don't drag down our Mo Family."

Although Mo Youran wasn't entirely convinced with the words of the ancestor, he did not argue back.

The Mo Family is a heritage of poetry and tradition, where many ancient customs are well-preserved.

Especially the word 'filial piety.'

Therefore, no matter what the ancestor said, he wouldn't talk back.

Of course, it is precisely for this reason that he was so harsh with Guoguo, slapping her across the face in front of everyone.

"Moonlight, the previous incident was our fault, I hope you won't hold it against us."

The elder looked at Yang Yan, speaking sincerely.

"What are you all trying to do?"

Yang Yan frowned and glanced around at the people.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

Then, almost reflexively, he swiftly retreated.

Yang Yan's movements were already very fast, but there was still someone faster.

As Yang Yan retreated at high speed, a red light trapped him instantly.

"Haha! At last, we've caught you, my dear Moonlight Emperor! How difficult it was to capture you!"

A man slowly walked out from the shadows.

"Ming Ghost?"

Yang Yan gazed at the man before him, his eyes cold, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Hehe! I didn't expect Moonlight to recognize a nobody like me. What an honor!"

The man, known as Ming Ghost by Yang Yan, sneered.

"Is this the stance of Baiyu City?"

Yang Yan looked coldly at Yu Bai.

He wouldn't believe, even if beaten to death, that Baiyu City's people were unaware of today's events.

"Our goal is immortality! Now someone is giving us this chance, we naturally must seize it."

"So, apologies, Moonlight. Rest assured, no one will touch your friends."

Yu Bai looked at Yang Yan and revealed a hint of a smile.

"I see!" Yang Yan stood within the red barrier and looked coldly at Yu Bai, "You Baiyu City and the Mo Family have likely been colluding for some time, right?"

"Last time at the café, the people you sent who pass the message were from the Mo Family? When did Hongmen get involved?"

Yu Bai gently nodded, speaking without concealment:

"Yes! You're right, it was indeed the Mo Family who asked us to convey the message. Moreover, today's events were also specially arranged by us."

"We've been investigating you and your subordinates, the Ten Swords, for a long time, from your birth to your rise as Moonlight Emperor. We've surveyed everything we could."

"Although some details remain unclear, we do know that Mo Qinghong is the beloved of your third sword, Cui Shuangtian."

"Thus, when you planned to return to Huaxia, we began orchestrating today's events. Fortunately, your judgment was clouded by emotions, and eventually, you fell into our trap."

At these words, Yu Bai's smile grew increasingly smug.

Now that Yang Yan was completely trapped, she didn't believe anyone could escape from this enclosure.

After all, this barrier is essentially Mo Family's ultimate maneuver; no one can escape from inside.

"Was the February 2nd matter orchestrated by you as well?"

Yang Yan calmly asked Yu Bai.

Seeing how things had escalated to this point, Yang Yan remained so composed; Yu Bai couldn't help but give him a deeper look.

She was even hesitant about whether to reveal the truth to him.

"That was merely a coincidence. During our investigation, we accidentally found that you seemed very interested in the February 2nd matter; it was mentioned casually."

"As for Hongmen, everyone has shared interests and naturally chose to cooperate. Ultimately, besides our scheming, it was also credited to destiny! Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

At this moment, Yuanfang on the side slowly stepped towards Yang Yan, unraveling his doubts.

Yang Yan narrowed his eyes once again.

Many things seemed unreasonable.

It sounded like these guys think they can achieve immortality by killing him.

But who fabricated such an astonishing lie, making these guys truly believe it?

Yang Yan couldn't figure out why they were so determined to kill him.

Or perhaps, after killing him, do they indeed have some way to attain immortality?

"Stop wasting words, act quickly, or the tables might turn!"

Yuanfang reminded Terminal impatiently.

"Last question, how do you plan to achieve immortality by killing me? I haven't found any way for killing me to lead to immortality."

Yang Yan looked at Terminal and asked.

"That's not for you to worry about. Anyway, you're about to die, so take the question with you! Consider it something to ponder on Yellow Springs Road."

Terminal finished speaking, raised his right hand, and pointed towards Yang Yan.

The others, seeing Terminal about to act, instinctively stepped back.

Only Guoguo wanted to stop Terminal upon seeing him about to act, but Mo Youran knocked her unconscious.

"Do you think that's enough to kill me? Unless you come up with some means, it won't be feasible."

Yang Yan looked at Terminal and suddenly revealed a sly smile.

"Of course! We've never underestimated your strength because of your age. But in this situation, no matter how strong you are, it won't help. You should know that my name is Terminal, right? It's not just my name, but also my ability."

Terminal finished speaking, and his hands began emitting black light.

When the black light appeared, it seemed to absorb all other light, revealing an eerie sensation everywhere.

As the black light started to shimmer, Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and then looked at Terminal and said:

"Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, Light of Annihilation? Where did you get this?"

"Good knowledge! I'll just tell you, this thing was obtained through generations of efforts by our Baiyu City, and it's the first time we're using it today. Moonlight Emperor, you should feel honored."

Terminal looked at Yang Yan and revealed a cruel smile.

Upon hearing Terminal's words, Yang Yan said nothing further but raised his hand and struck the red barrier forcefully.

As his fist struck the barrier, the whole barrier began to tremble.

However, despite the tremors, it gave no indication of being shattered.

"You're called Yang Yan, right? Stop struggling. This is the Celestial Net made by our Mo Family. You must know we've used the finest materials this time to create this Celestial Net just to trap you."

"Not even the Sword Immortal Elder known for his attacks could break the Celestial Net. So, just obediently accept your fate inside."

On the side, Mo Youran looked at Yang Yan with eyes full of hatred, speaking coldly.
