Time passed quickly, and night fell again. Mo Taizi, Mo Zixiao, Mo Tianqi, and the others decided to infiltrate the Zhang Clan again. However, they were surprised by the sudden appearance of Mo Zainan.

"Mother, why did you suddenly come here?" Mo Zixiao asked Mo Zainan.

"Your father lost his patience because you all haven’t succeeded in infiltrating the Zhang Clan, so he asked me to come here." Mo Zainan walked to the side of the window, looking at the clan a little far away from their location. "Their barrier is strong because it is a peak-grade array, but it shouldn’t be able to stop the five of you. What exactly has been stopping you guys from infiltrating the clan for the past week?"

"Mother, it wasn’t the barrier that stopped us but something else." Mo Zainan turned into one of his two daughters, who had an oval-shaped face with smooth skin and a narrow jawline. She has narrow eyes with a striking golden hue and a slender nose. Her lips are thick at the bottom, covered in a pale red color. Her silver-white hair is long and straight down to her waist. Her black and silver dress covers her medium-sized breasts, curvy waist, wide hips, and plump buttocks. "We couldn’t be certain what attacked us because we couldn’t detect it, but the attack was truly powerful, and we would have been seriously injured if we hadn’t avoided it."

"Is that true, Yousha?" Mo Zainan asked skeptically.

Mo Yousha wanted to answer her mother, but her sister answered her first. "Mother, my big sister didn’t lie to you, and the strange attack was truly powerful, so we didn’t dare force our way into that clan."

The woman’s face is angular with a narrow chin and high cheekbones. Her long hair is jet-black, wavy, and thick. Her eyes are slanted like an eagle’s, with glowing dark red pupils. She wears a tight full-body black dress, combined with a red hooded robe. Her figure is taller and fuller than Mo Yousha’s, and her breasts are two times bigger, but her curves and buttocks are barely visible.

"Show me that attack, Anqi." Mo Anqi touched Mo Zainan’s forehead, sharing her memories of that mysterious attack with her. "Hmm?"

Mo Zainan’s expression turned serious after she saw Mo Anqi’s memories, confusing them.

"Do you know anything about that attack, Mother?"

"I’m certain that the attack came from Empress Huo." Mo Taizi and the others were shocked to hear that name from Mo Zainan. "Your father and I have fought with her in the past, and she repeatedly used the same attack back then, so I wouldn’t have mistaken it."

"Then—"

"If Empress Huo is the one behind the clan, your father’s guess that Zhang Fei joined them was accurate." Mo Zainan looked at the Zhang Clan again. "She has never had a relationship with any man in the past, let alone gotten married. If she is protecting him to this extent, I’m sure their relationship is not an ordinary relationship, and we will face serious problems if that is true."

"Does that mean we have to retreat?"

"I’ll contact your father first." Mo Zainan hurriedly contacted Mo Shentian and informed him of the matter. "Zixiao and Taizi, your father wants you two to return to our domain, and he wants you two to impregnate Shang Xueli and Nalan Wangzi as soon as possible."

Mo Zixiao and Mo Taizi exchanged glances for a moment before hurriedly leaving the inn to return to their domain, and Mo Tianqi asked their mother. "What about us, Mother?"

"Your father asked us to wait here, and he has gone to see Wu Mian to ask for his help in disguising one of you." Mo Zainan’s answer surprised her three children. "If he’s willing to help us, we can infiltrate the Zhang Clan more easily, and Empress Huo will never find out about it, so we have to wait for the results of their meeting for now."

"Alright." The three of them agreed.

Mo Yousha and Mo Anqi immediately pulled Mo Zhainan to sit between them and questioned her about several things, including Zhang Fei’s true identity.

Unfortunately, Mo Zainan and her three children were unaware that Huo Xiaoyu was eavesdropping on their conversation, and she immediately reported their plan to Feng Yao.

In another inn, Jiu Mozu’s nine subordinates were also having a serious discussion, especially after their attempts to infiltrate the Zhang Clan over the past week had failed.

However, an old man suddenly appeared in their room, shocking them all. Jiu Yuan and the others knelt before him, their bodies trembling, and they dared not look at him.

The old man walked to the side of the window and looked towards the Zhang Clan, narrowing his reddish-black eyes and examining the barrier. "How powerful was the mysterious attack that previously stopped you?"

"Grand... Grand Elder Moze, that attack was truly powerful." Jiu Yuan stuttered his answer.

Jiu Yaoming secretly reported to Zhang Fei about the appearance of the old man, who was none other than the Jiu Mozu’s master, Jiu Moze. "Grand... Grand Elder Moze, that attack was stronger than the power of our demon god’s attack when he borrowed our strength."

Jiu Moze furrowed his brows after hearing that. "If what you say is true, the owner of that attack should be Empress Huo because I was struck by her attack in the past, and it took me a thousand years to fully recover. If it’s true, Zhang Fei has indeed joined this clan, but I can’t understand the reason behind her decision to protect him and this clan, especially since she is famous for her antipathy towards men."

"So, what should we do now, Grand Elder? Will you lead us to attack the Zhang Clan?" A female corpse demon who had taken Ma Youling’s place asked.

"I haven’t met Empress Huo, so I don’t know anything about her strength. However, we can’t underestimate her, even though she’s died before." Jiu Moze contacted his disciple before speaking to them again. "Go back to our domain; my disciple needs your help, and I will take care of this matter."

"We will return now, Grand Elder Moze." The nine people immediately left the inn.

After they left, Jiu Moze took out his right arm from under his clothes, and he visibly trembled as he looked at the heavy burn marks on it. He clenched his fist and looked at the Zhang Clan with his reddish-black eyes glowing. "Huo Yanling, I have been waiting for you to come back for a long time; I will come to you soon to settle old grudges. In the past, you were indeed much stronger than me, but you have already died once, and I have been preparing myself for so long. I am confident that I can defeat you this time, and I will turn you into my puppet."

Hearing Jiu Moze’s words, Huo Xiaoyu immediately reported the matter to Feng Yao. However, she asked Huo Xiaoyu not to take any action for now, especially since she still needed to protect Zhang Fei from the four perils.

Instead, Feng Yao ordered Huo Xiaoyu to inform Zhang Zetian about the appearance of the Jiu Mozu, which she immediately did. ’What a foolish old man! In the past, you were no match for my empress, and you will never be her match this time or in the future.’

.

Within the Zhang Clan, Zhang Zetian had already gathered the seniors of his clan. After informing them of Jiu Moze’s appearance in their city, he immediately ordered them to tighten security around their clan, as he was familiar with the old man’s strength.

Zhang Zetian left the main hall and carefully examined Jiu Moze’s location. ’Sigh! This matter is becoming increasingly troublesome! Who exactly is the person they are looking for? Why are they looking for that person in my clan? Why doesn’t Empress Huo want to tell us the truth? Could it be that the person who will come to see me is the same person the two demon races are targeting?’

"What brings you to my domain this time, Mo Shentian?"

Mo Shentian frowned at the man in front of him. He couldn’t recognize him, but he knew it was Wu Mian. "I need your help disguising one of my children, and I will send my child to infiltrate one of the human clans."

"Oh?" Wu Mian pretended to be surprised to hear that, as he already knew about the reason for Mo Zhentian’s arrival. Feng Yao previously informed Zhang Fei about the conversation between Mo Zainan and her children, and he immediately relayed this information to the Faceless Demon God. "Tell me which clan, or I won’t help you."

"The Zhang Clan of the Starfall Martial Domain."

"Huh?" Wu Mian put on a shocked expression again. "Why are you suddenly targeting that clan?"

"That’s none of your business."

’Heh!’ Wu Mian inwardly snorted. "I’ll help you, but I need a few things from you in return."

"Tell me."

"I need the five demon items required to upgrade the demon rank to the Seven Supreme Demon Ranks." Mo Shentian’s face darkened because Wu Mian’s request was too excessive. "I don’t know what you were looking for in the Zhang Clan, but I’m sure you’ve found something useful there, and it’s definitely more valuable than the five demon items. Moreover, I know that you have them in large quantities, so it’s not a big deal for you to sacrifice a set, right?"
