143: Do you know what you are saying?

At this moment, even if these Yan Clan members were tough, they couldn't help but tremble all over.

They could die.

They could die miserably, they could die heroically, and they could even die at the hands of their own people…

But they couldn’t suffer social death.

Some people are alive, but they are already dead.

Some people are dead, but they are still alive.

Chu Mo was very clear about the Dao in this regard.

Once upon a time, he had seen a piece of news where someone was hit by a hundred-ton truck and thrown twenty meters away, with all his bones shattered.

As a result, he managed to hold on until he cleared the browser history on his phone before finally taking his last breath.

Ultimately, it all boils down to one sentence: From ancient times, who has not died? One must leave a good name in the world.

Therefore, he believed that these few people would make wise choices, otherwise… don’t blame him for being ruthless and temporarily acting as an ambassador for humanism in another world.

As expected.

Within ten breaths, these members of the ancient Family could no longer bear the immense pressure and one by one chose to accept the unequal terms.

Among them, the Yan Clan Elder was the first to give in, of course, Chu Mo could understand.

After all, he was already old and didn't want his reputation to be ruined in his later years.

The Yan Clan Elder spoke with difficulty, “We are willing to be his Dao Protector for five years.”

“Alright, first make an oath, that way it’s safer.”

“Heaven above, we…”

“Wait, don’t swear to Heaven, swear by your eighteen generations of ancestors, swear by your Family, swear by your Bloodline.”

“This…”

“What’s this? Nowadays, people casually say ‘my fate is up to me, not Heaven.’ Do you think Heaven can manage so many people? Hurry up, don’t try to delay, your time isn’t precious, but my time is.”

“But, but we don’t know how…”

“With mother as the main, father as the auxiliary, relatives as the radius, then circle around eighteen generations of ancestors, grandmothers and grandfathers to liven things up, and finally don’t forget to bring all your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as the entire Family.”

After hearing this, the veins on the foreheads of the Yan Clan members bulged, and their foreheads were covered in black lines.

Is this really an oath?

Isn't it cursing?

A whole Family ascending to heaven oath?!

But even with an oath of their entire Family ascending to heaven, they had no choice but to do so, uttering these oaths one by one in broken sentences.

After they had all finished swearing, they all collapsed to the ground, and the Yan Clan Elder, whose eyes had always been as sharp as an eagle, now also lost his sharpness, his eyes incomparably murky.

For some reason, he always had a strange feeling that he seemed to have cursed his entire Family, from top to bottom…

Lin Yan leaned closer to Chu Mo and whispered, “Chu Ge, can we trust them after they’ve made these oaths?”

“Of course…” Chu Mo smiled mysteriously and said, “Of course you can’t trust them, I never believe in any oaths.”

Lin Yan was startled, “Then why did you make them swear? Isn’t that just playing with them?”

“They all came from ancient Families, full of arrogance. If you don’t temper their temperaments, how will they listen to you?”

Chu Mo chuckled and shook his head, his gaze falling back on the several people who had been drained of their strength, and said, “Any oath is actually useless. Only truly grasping their lifelines is the most crucial thing.”

“You mean…”

Lin Yan’s eyes gradually brightened.

Chu Mo’s lips curved into a smile, “That’s right, I put Ghost Face Butterfly eggs in the potion they just drank.”

After the Ghost Face Butterfly eggs enter the human body, they will hatch and merge into the Soul.

This process is very difficult to detect.

And this was Chu Mo’s countermeasure against them; the Family ascending to heaven oath was just to test their obedience.

Now it seems the effect is good.

Beside him, Lin Yan looked at Chu Mo with an extremely strange gaze, and secretly thought: Was Chu Ge really not a capitalist before? How come he’s so familiar with doing these things?

Well, well!

It’s good to let these country bumpkins from another world experience capitalist methods; it can also enrich their knowledge.

.......

.......

Mo Yun Ghost Emperor felt very frustrated.

He suspected he had been set up by several Martial God.

As soon as the East Sea Secret Realm opened, he encountered countless Genius Disciple from ancient Families, and more importantly, they all had Dao Protector with them.

The strength of each Dao Protector was at least Martial Saint Realm, and even the Disciple who entered the Secret Realm were Martial Venerable Realm.

How could he fight like this?

So, he was very readily put into slumber.

But, he knew he couldn’t fall yet, because there was still a young man waiting for him outside.

With the opponent’s strength as a Dou Shi, he simply couldn’t gain a foothold in this East Sea Secret Realm.

He couldn’t even defeat the most common ancient Soul, let alone other opportunities…

“How can I fall?”

“How can I fall?”

“I still have a great vendetta to avenge, I still have a Disciple to teach, I…”

“Huh?”

Before Mo Yun Ghost Emperor could burn his Soul Origin to awaken, he felt a cool current surge into his body.

Soon.

He woke up.

“This… this isn’t what I expected? Could it be… could it be that Lin Yan got a Heaven And Earth Treasure that nourishes the Soul in the outside world?”

Thinking of this, he came out of the storage ring.

What he saw were several Yan Clan ‘women’, one of whom had even reached the Martial Saint Realm.

“This…” Mo Yun Ghost Emperor reacted quickly and immediately wanted to pull Lin Yan to use the Imperial Rank Dou Skill—Ghost Possession!

However, Lin Yan stopped him.

“Mo Lao, wait, they are all our own people! There’s no need to fight!”

“What?!” Mo Yun Ghost Emperor, standing behind Lin Yan, was slightly stunned.

Their own people? These Yan Clan members could look favorably upon a country bumpkin like Lin Yan.

Unless…

In an instant, Mo Yun Ghost Emperor thought of many things.

The most alarming thing was that these people knew Lin Yan was the Son of Destiny.

As soon as he thought of this, Mo Yun Ghost Emperor couldn’t help but pull Lin Yan aside and whispered, “I know you young people have a lot of fire, but don’t be so fiery yet. These few are not easy to deal with…”

“Mo Lao, you’re overthinking.” Lin Yan smiled and said, “They are all my Dao Protector now…”

Mo Yun Ghost Emperor became anxious upon hearing this.

Dao Protector?

Protect what Dao?

“Lin boy, if you trust me, break off relations with these crooked melons and rotten dates. I have a descendant, young and beautiful, with extraordinary talent, more than enough for you.”

To prevent Lin Yan from being snatched away by members of other Families, Mo Yun Ghost Emperor also went all out.

Lin Yan’s eyes were strange, “Mo Lao, do you know what you’re saying? Do you know who they are?”

“Aren’t they just people from the Yan Clan?” Mo Yun Ghost Emperor showed extreme disdain, “If it weren’t for me being besieged, with the scale of my Mo Family’s power, we would definitely rank first among ancient Families.”

It took nine Martial God to beat Mo Yun Ghost Emperor into that state, so it’s no wonder he was so arrogant.

Lin Yan glanced at the Yan Clan members, and seeing that they hadn’t heard the conversation here, he said, “You want me to give up the entire forest for one tree in your Family, which is truly not worth it.”

Mo Yun Ghost Emperor heard this and said angrily, “Don’t be greedy, boy. That girl Yun’er’s talent is not much weaker than yours, and she also has great hope of achieving the Imperial Rank.”

Lin Yan put on a troubled expression, “Our relationship is such that if I were to be with her, I’m afraid our relationship would become much more estranged…”
