"Second Uncle, why didn't I know about this?" Ye Beichen asked in bewilderment, eyes wide open.
"I just happened to know about it, and since it has nothing to do with us, I didn't tell you," Ye Cang replied indifferently.
Listening to Ye Cang's words, both Mu Lihong and Ye Beichen were a bit surprised. Such secrets are not even something juniors like them are worthy to know.
Moreover, from Ye Cang's words, it wasn't hard to tell that even he wasn't qualified to attend such an auction.
"Second Uncle, does it mean that our Ye Family isn't qualified to attend such an auction?" Ye Beichen asked.
Ye Cang nodded and said, "Indeed, our Ye Family isn't qualified to attend such a high-level auction. It's organized by the top strata, and the invitations to participate are distributed to various families or sects, only those who are deemed worthy can attend."
"How long until the next auction starts?" Lin Mo asked.
"Less than a year, but I don't know the exact time," Ye Cang said coldly.
If not for Ye Beichen's sake, Ye Cang would have left long ago, not bothering to talk to Lin Mo who didn't show any courtesy.
"A super auction, gathering all the great forces, sects, and families. Perhaps it really has something I need, I must find a way to get an invitation to the super auction," Lin Mo thought to himself.
In the Huaxia Sea Domain, there lies an island shrouded in red mist.
Three towering wooden buildings stood in the center of the lush mountains, a stream of light flashed by, rushing into the middle building in an instant.
"Clan Leader!"
The figure rushed into the main hall of the central wooden building, kneeling on one knee, and a cold voice echoed within the palace.
On the throne floating at the front of the hall, a vague silhouette slowly appeared, which then solidified into a bearded man in dark armor on the throne, exuding a powerful and majestic aura that filled the palace, imposing a palpable pressure.
"Gou Yu, greets the Clan Leader."
The man tying his hair beneath the palace spoke with utmost respect, bowing lower to the ground.
"What urgent matter brought you here in such haste?" Ye Mou's voice thundered like a hammer striking a heart.
"Clan Leader, I have investigated Lin Mo's matter; he is currently with the Ye Family," Gou Yu said calmly, lifting his head.
Ye Mou squinted slightly, and from those narrow eyes, faint thunder flickered, "Tell me, I want to know who he is, returning alive from Han Country, and reportedly killed three martial arts experts there."
Gou Yu slowly began, "This Lin Mo emerged several years ago, first gaining fame in Shu Province, then dominating Jiangnan, eventually conquering many places, consolidating power, and finally becoming the number one martial arts master in Huaxia. After the revival of spiritual energy, he joined the Four Great Martial Arts Schools of Huaxia and established the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, becoming its founder."
"Hmph, an insignificant human achieving some irrelevant accomplishments, yet dares to claim to be number one?" Ye Mou sneered disdainfully.
"Clan Leader, he seems to have a good relationship with Ye Beichen, but has grudges with Qingxuan Sect, Wind Thunder Sect, Red Moon Sect, and True Fire Sect. He even killed disciples from these four sects, and has deep enmity with the Master of Qingxuan Sect, having slain the Master's two sons," Gou Yu continued.
Ye Mou opened his eyes, shooting two beams of sharp light from his eyes, "He killed the sons of the Qingxuan Sect Master, doesn't that old guy seek revenge?"
"I heard that Lin Mo attacked Qingxuan Sect actively, but the Mystic Realm Envoy appeared and seemed to have saved him, suggesting he might have some connection with the Mystic Realm Envoy," Gou Yu said cautiously observing Ye Mou.
"The Mystic Realm Envoy still hasn't left Earth? What's the relationship between him and Lin Mo? Any findings?" Ye Mou asked with a frown.
Gou Yu shook his head and said, "The Mystic Realm Envoy has hid within the Secret Realm for thousands of years, only reappearing due to the revival of spiritual energy, likely not having any relations with Lin Mo."
"Haha, that old Qingxuan Sect Master is truly unlucky, getting involved by the Mystic Realm Envoy," Ye Mou laughed coldly.
"Clan Leader, I've also found he has no grievances with Master Hui, but it seems Master Hui's friend, Crow, had some conflict with Lin Mo," Gou Yu added.
Ye Mou's broad right palm clenched the stone armrest of the throne, fingers contracted, and in a crackling sound, the armrest shattered into powder, "Hmph, regardless if he killed Hui'er or not, I'll find him for a clear answer. If he indeed killed Hui'er, I'll use his soul to honor my son's memory."
"Clan Leader, the Mystic Realm Envoy..." Gou Yu raised his head, his face showing a trace of worry.
If it's proven that Lin Mo killed Ye Hui, and Ye Mou takes action against Lin Mo, what about the Mystic Realm Envoy... "You're overthinking, that old Mystic Realm Envoy would be too glad to see us killing each other. He probably saved Lin Mo casually last time; there shouldn't be any deep ties, and he wouldn't save him again and again. Besides, the Mystic Realm Envoy wouldn't want to offend me, Ye Mou. My son might also enter the Mystic Realm Sect and become a top big shot." Ye Mou's smile curved into an eerie shape.
East Province.
At the Ye Family, a faint red blood aura loomed in the sky, occasionally forming into a fierce serpent dragon, then dissipating into a blood fog, forming a mysterious array pattern.
Underneath was a sprawling classical estate complex.
"I must secure a spot in the super auction," Lin Mo secretly resolved.
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I'll also try to help. If there's any way to acquire an invitation to the super auction, I'll certainly inform you," Mu Lihong said.
Ye Beichen also winked at Lin Mo, showing understanding that due to his second uncle's attitude towards Lin Mo, he could not speak much.
"I apologize for the disturbance, Ye Clan Leader, I think it's time for my departure as well,"
Lin Mo rose to leave.
Ye Cang said with an indifferent expression, "I won't be sending you off, Mr. Lin."
At this moment, the faces of Ye Cang, Ye Beichen, and Mu Lihong in the living room shifted slightly, looking up to the sky.
Lin Mo also sensed a change.
Above the Ye Family, thirteen figures wearing black armor and masks hovered in the air, each emitting a formidable aura that seemed to make the air tremble.
Among them stood a middle-aged man with an unmasked face adorned by a rugged, bearded countenance, surveying the surroundings with an eagle-like sharpness. The aura spreading from his body covered him like flames and thunder.
"Ye Cang, an old friend has come, don't you want to let me in?" Ye Mou opened his mouth, his voice rolling like heavenly thunder, echoing for miles, sending forest animals scurrying and birds flapping into the sky.
"It's Ye Mou!"
Inside the living room, Ye Cang glanced at Lin Mo and instantly turned into a stream of light flying out.
"Ye Mou is the Clan Leader of the Giant Elephant Clan, a branch of the Demon Gate Royal Family. Why would he suddenly come to our Ye Family?" Ye Beichen's face also took on a sudden change, looking at Lin Mo as he spoke.
