"Still hiding, are you?" Mo Yu's eyes swept the forest with a dangerous glint. The sudden attack just now had sent a wave of deadly danger through him.
Had it not been for his superior soul perception alerting him to the anomaly, he might have ended up like Gan Mu, whose body lay shattered in pieces.
The thought made Mo Yu's expression turn serious.
The attacker wasn't from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Not only would no one in that group be strong enough, but even the entire Qing Shi Town didn't house anyone with the power of a Da Dou Shi. Such a strong figure could dominate a region in the empire.
With Mo Yu's current strength, he could easily deal with low-level Dou Shi, and even high-level ones would not be too much trouble. But a Da Dou Shi—this was an opponent he couldn't defeat head-on.
As his voice fell, a shadow slipped from the darkness beneath a large tree, unnoticed until that very moment.
The figure was clad in a black robe, concealing most of their face, exuding a chilling and indifferent aura. They stood there, seemingly insignificant.
But seeing this shadow, Mo Yu's pupils contracted sharply. The aura radiating from this person wasn't inferior to that of Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family!
"As expected, a Da Dou Shi, and not a weak one either. This could be a problem. But... why does this person's presence feel familiar?"
Mo Yu stared at the shadowy figure, his brows furrowed, a glimmer of thought flashing in his eyes.
"A rather impressive kid. At such a young age, you've managed to kill a Nine-Star Dou Zhe. The Mo family would be foolish to let such talent slip through their fingers."
The shadowy figure's raspy voice broke the silence, carrying a cold and sinister undertone. As he spoke, a glint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deep murderous intent.
This person was Mo Yin, a Four-Star Da Dou Shi sent by the Mo family patriarch, Mo Lan.
When Mo Yin first received this assignment, he hadn't taken it seriously. After all, he had assassinated countless Da Dou Shi and even one Seven-Star Da Dou Shi. In the northeastern region of the empire, his reputation was nearly on par with the Mo family patriarch, second only to the Great Elder, all thanks to his terrifying assassination skills.
When Mo Yin learned that his target this time was merely in the Dou Zhi Qi stage, he dismissed the mission entirely. However, upon reaching Wu Tan City and hearing more about Mo Yu's reputation, he understood why the family had been so cautious. If they couldn't have Mo Yu, they had to eliminate him.
Despite lurking in Wu Tan City for months, Mo Yin had never found an opportunity to strike. Mo Yu rarely left the Xiao family compound, spending most of his time in closed-door training. Even when he ventured out, he did so discreetly.
Mo Lan eventually decided to have Mo Yin infiltrate the Xiao family compound to eliminate Mo Yu. After all, Xiao Zhan was only a Five-Star Da Dou Shi, just one star above Mo Yin. He felt confident in his abilities.
But as soon as Mo Yin entered the Xiao residence, he was intercepted by an overwhelming aura, one that seemed to have sensed him the moment he set foot inside. That aura instilled deep fear in Mo Yin, as it could only belong to a Dou Wang or stronger.
Realizing the Xiao family had a hidden powerhouse, Mo Yin abandoned his plans for a direct infiltration but wasn't willing to give up on the assassination. He bided his time until he heard that Xiao's twin dragons were out of the city.
Upon learning this, Mo Yin knew his chance had come. After gathering intelligence, he confirmed Mo Yu had been tracked by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group near Qing Shi Town.
Following the mercenaries, he had located Mo Yu's trail. After witnessing Mo Yu's decisive killing of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's second-in-command, Mo Yin's murderous intent had surged.
"This boy truly has the potential to become a Dou Huang. If he continues to grow, the patriarch's concerns may very well come true one day."
Seeing the black-robed figure's sudden surge of killing intent, Mo Yu's brows furrowed slightly. He had overheard the mention of the Mo family.
"You're from the Mo family?" Mo Yu asked coldly. If this man were truly a Da Dou Shi sent by the Mo family, it would explain the hostility.
However, Mo Yu had no idea that Mo Yin had been stalking him for half a year, nor did he know that Xun'er had unknowingly saved him once again.
Had it not been for Ling Lao driving Mo Yin away, Mo Yu would have already fallen victim to the assassin's hand.
"I am Mo Yin, under orders from the patriarch to take your life. As an assassin, I normally wouldn't reveal this much information. But since we share the same bloodline, I'll allow you to die with the truth."
Mo Yin's raspy voice was filled with an eerie finality, like the whisper of death itself. No matter how talented Mo Yu was, at the moment, he was just a Dou Zhe, and there was no way he could escape from Mo Yin's grasp.
"The Mo family... I haven't even gone looking for you, and yet you've come for me." Mo Yu's face darkened as a surge of intense killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Hah, you truly are Mo Jingyun's son. You've got guts."
Mo Yin, despite being an assassin, couldn't help but admire Mo Yu's composure in the face of danger.
"You knew my father?" Mo Yu's expression shifted for the first time at the mention of Mo Jingyun's name. His cold gaze locked onto the black-robed figure.
"Of course, I knew him. His talent was nothing compared to yours, but he was far better than the rest of the useless drunks in the family. It's a shame, though... he never..." Mo Yin's voice trailed off, seemingly wary of revealing too much.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's suspicions about his father's death being connected to the Mo family's experiments on transplanting magical beast limbs solidified further.
"That's enough talking. It's time to send you to meet your father."
As an assassin, Mo Yin had already spoken more than usual. But seeing Mo Yu's extraordinary talent and knowing they shared the same bloodline, he had been willing to indulge in conversation.
But with that over, a chilling aura erupted from Mo Yin's body, like a venomous snake waiting to strike.
"If you want my life, then let's see if you have the strength to take it," Mo Yu said coldly, his expression tense as he faced the overwhelming pressure.
Although he was an Eight-Star Dou Zhe, defeating a Da Dou Shi, two whole tiers above him, seemed impossible.
However, despite the odds, Mo Yu didn't panic. First, he knew that losing his composure now would be fatal. Second, even a Da Dou Shi would have a hard time taking his life.
Seeing Mo Yu's calm demeanor, Mo Yin sneered. He didn't know where Mo Yu's confidence came from, but one thing was clear—this boy had to die now, or next time, it would require the intervention of the Mo family's Great Elder!
