The Central Plains Inspector, at this moment, simply stood quietly to the side like a referee, showing no intention of stepping forward.
Outside the mountain gate, a crowd had already gathered, having followed the group from the foot of the mountain to watch.
The injured Mo Xuanji could only stand in front of the crowd and watch the battle.
Everyone present knew that Li Yu's next choice would determine the outcome of the Mo family's internal struggle.
Mo Jiuzhen looked at Li Yu on horseback with a hint of confusion in his eyes and asked in a deep voice:
"Mo Xuanji is incapable of leading the Mo family back to its peak, so why are you helping him?"
Li Yu also noticed the fierce aura emanating from Mo Jiuzhen, whose sharpness made him look more like the head of the Mo family.
"There's no reason." Li Yu glanced at Li Linglong and Mo Xuanji out of the corner of her eye, offering no explanation.
Mo Jiuzhen knew that everything had a cause and effect, and Li Yu must have had a reason for doing so.
But since things had come to this point, there was no point in him asking any further questions.
Mo Jiuzhen immediately shook her head, clearing her mind of distracting thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Jiuzhen took a deep breath, and her aura began to rise like a tide.
He gazed calmly at Li Yu and said indifferently:
"If you want to reclaim the Mo family, I am the final hurdle."
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling red light suddenly burst forth from his body.
Meanwhile, within the forbidden area of the Mo family, the powerful mutated corpse that only the head of the Mo family could command instantly flew out as if summoned.
Just as Mo Jiuzhen successfully mobilized the only corpse variant of the Mo family to prepare for battle with Li Yu, the silent inspector suddenly stretched out a hand.
The next moment, the mutated corpse that had been flying in with great momentum suddenly lost control, as if its soul had been ripped out, and fell straight to the feet of the inspector.
Upon seeing this, Mo Jiuzhen frowned deeply, inwardly sighing:
"Unexpectedly, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Now even the Central State Inspector, who originally supported his power grab, no longer intends to stand on his side."
Moreover, not only did the Central Plains Inspector not help, but he also forcibly suppressed Li Yu's ability to use the Mo family's corpse variant, seemingly extending goodwill to him.
Caught off guard, the rain that had been kept out fell on Mo Jiuzhen, quickly soaking his robe.
His mind was in turmoil.
Seeing this, Mo Xuanji suddenly stepped forward with a serious expression and began to advise:
"Mo Jiuzhen, you have already lost. You still have a chance to make amends while awaiting the family's judgment!"
The Mo family's branch families have now suffered heavy losses, and even the five elders have been killed in battle.
If the Mo family were to lose Elder Mo Jiuzhen now, it would inevitably suffer a severe blow, and it would be impossible to know how many years it would take to recover.
Upon hearing Mo Xuanji's words, a hint of anger flashed across Mo Jiuzhen's previously calm face, and he retorted furiously without hesitation:
"Shut up, Mo Xuanji!"
Mo Jiuzhen continued her angry rebuke in a disdainful tone:
"Stop your hypocritical act. If constant forbearance could lead the Mohist school to rise, you wouldn't be left without any descendants!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuanji was visibly shaken.
Then, as if jolted awake by the scolding, he turned to look at Li Linglong in the crowd, and sighed with mixed feelings:
'I never expected my old habit of giving in would resurface, and I even hoped that Mo Jiuzhen would also choose to back down.'
Perhaps Mo Jiuzhen is right; he must make a change.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, he might not even be able to protect his granddaughter who has survived by sheer luck.
"Click!"
Suddenly, a centipede-shaped bolt of purple lightning split open in the southwest, illuminating the violently surging cloud vortex in an instant.
Mo Jiuzhen stood upright, like an unyielding mountain.
Even without any controllable mutated corpses around him, his cold face still exuded arrogance.
Mo Jiuzhen looked directly at Li Yu and said in a calm tone:
"I had already won."
Li Yu did not refute, knowing that without his intervention, Mo Jiuzhen might have already succeeded and even stabilized the entire Mo family.
"It's all about timing and luck..."
Mo Jiuzhen sighed softly, and continued, seemingly with a mixture of helplessness and emotion:
“My hands are already stained with the blood of the Mo family.”
"If you don't kill me today, you won't be able to convince the people!"
Then, Mo Jiuzhen's aura suddenly changed, and a powerful fighting spirit surged out from his body, his aura surging.
"But it's fine this way."
Mo Jiuzhen looked at Li Yu without fear:
"Then let's go! Let me see just how powerful the legendary Archer God really is!"
Almost simultaneously, thunder roared in.
Li Yu felt the overwhelming fighting spirit emanating from Mo Jiuzhen, and even the vortex in his abdomen unconsciously began to spin faster.
Faced with such an opponent, Li Yu decided to go all out to show respect.
But there's no turning back now that the arrow has been released, so he warned again:
"Since you want to fight, I will grant your wish, but I hope you won't regret it."
"Hahaha..."
Mo Jiuzhen laughed heartily, his laughter filled with unbridled joy and boldness:
"Regret? I, Mo Jiuzhen, never regret my actions!"
"Killing is done this way! Seizing power from the Mohist school is done the same way!"
"Even if I die today, I will fight you, the god of archery, to a great victory!"
After saying that, Mo Jiuzhen clasped her hands together, and the red light on her body became even more intense, even staining the surrounding rain curtain blood-red.
Just then, the inspector, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly changed his expression.
