The soldiers gasped in surprise, immediately recognizing Li Yu. They stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Some soldiers kept comparing the photos in the newspaper with Li Yu in front of them, matching every detail.
"It really is Li Yu!"
"That's right, it's Li Yu!"
The soldiers from Zhongzhou were once again amazed.
Li Yu, the hero of Zhongzhou who single-handedly held the breach in the Zhongzhou defense line, fought the Shadow Master for three hundred rounds after entering and exiting seven times, and turned the tide of the battle!
Li Yu actually showed up here!
As Li Yu approached, the soldiers from Zhongzhou actually made way for him.
They stared intently at Li Yu, their eyes gleaming.
Some soldiers felt as if they had seen their idol, and couldn't contain their excitement, wanting to go up and greet Li Yu.
At the foot of the mountain not far away.
Seeing that Mo Xuanji was not moving, the Mo family member in charge of escorting him urged him with an unfriendly expression:
"Mo Xuanji, hurry up and leave! Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
After saying that, he raised his weapon and struck Mo Xuanji's shoulder with force.
Li Yu slightly raised the crossbow in his hand, and with a "whoosh," the two Mo family members escorting Mo Xuanji instantly had large bloody holes in their chests, and their bodies collapsed limply to the ground.
Seeing this, the guards responsible for confining Mo Xuanji's faction at the foot of the mountain were all terrified, their faces turning deathly pale. They knelt on the ground in fear, begging for mercy repeatedly.
"Master, spare my life!"
"We were all forced into this by Mo Jiuzhen!"
Some even opened the gate behind them to save their own lives, releasing all the members of the Mo Xuanji lineage who had been held captive at the foot of the mountain.
The group of people, now free, emerged in bewilderment.
When they saw Mo Xuanji standing at the foot of the mountain in a daze, the group of people from the main family immediately swarmed around him, thinking that Mo Xuanji had rescued them.
"Thank you for saving me, Master."
"Mo Jiuzhen is a traitor! He actually betrayed the Mo family."
"Patriarch, let's leave quickly. We can take revenge and reclaim the Mo family later!"
Some people worried, "The Central Plains Inspector probably won't let us leave so easily."
Despite the discussion among the crowd, Mo Xuanji remained unmoved, his gaze still fixed on Li Yu's team in the distance.
The moment Mo Xuanji saw Li Linglong, his aged body trembled violently, and his eyes instantly welled up with boundless excitement and joy.
There's no mistake, this is definitely her granddaughter.
She looks exactly like his daughter when she was little!
Looking at Li Linglong, who was as thin and petite as a refugee, Mo Xuanji's eyes reddened.
A sharp pain shot through his heart. He couldn't even imagine how much suffering his little granddaughter, a refugee, had endured to survive.
How much suffering and hardship must she endure before she can reach the foot of the Mo family's mountain?
All of this should have been sought out and protected by him, the grandfather!
Recalling the tragic past of the Mo family, along with feelings of immense guilt towards his granddaughter, Mo Xuanji secretly made a vow in his heart.
From today onwards, he will make it up to his granddaughter a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
Upon realizing this, Mo Xuanji instantly changed his mind.
In order to give his granddaughter a home and stop her from wandering and suffering, he had to regain control of the Mo family and continue to be the head of the Mo family.
"Someone come here!" Mo Xuanji waved his hand, his voice booming, completely devoid of his previous dejection.
"Yes, sir!" The head of the family members stood up and quickly stepped forward to receive the order.
"Follow me as we charge back up the mountain and reclaim the Mo family's territory!"
Having said that, Mo Xuanji no longer held back, and his powerful aura erupted instantly.
At this moment, two Mo family assassins happened to come down the mountain and also sensed the powerful aura emanating from Mo Xuanji.
The two of them landed lightly in front of Mo Xuanji in an instant, like dragonflies skimming the water.
One of the Deadpools smirked slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and laughed at Mo Xuanji:
"The patriarch had long anticipated that you, Mo Xuanji, would have a backup plan."
"Now that I see it, it's indeed true!"
The other Deadpool looked at the group of his family members who had escaped their predicament with the same contempt, and said in a cold voice:
"The head of the family is too kind-hearted. Letting you live was a mistake."
"Bah! Mo Jiuzhen, that traitor, is not fit to be the head of the family!?" The head of the family immediately retorted angrily.
The two Deadpools' eyes turned cold; it seemed they were going to kill someone to establish their authority today.
One of the Deadpools suddenly leaped up, moving like lightning, and several hidden weapons shot out from his sleeve in an instant.
Driven by their supernatural abilities, these hidden weapons flew towards Mo Xuanji like poisonous bees.
With a wave of his hand, Mo Xuanji unleashed a monstrous red light that spread out like ocean waves to block the attack, and its momentum grew stronger and stronger as it counterattacked the dead servant.
However, a sly glint flashed in the Deadpool's eyes.
His projectile pierced Mo Xuanji's red light defense as easily as piercing a thin sheet of paper, and precisely entered his body.
"What!?" The Mo family members watching were taken aback.
They never expected that even with the strength of the family head, Mo Xuanji, he couldn't withstand such a small hidden weapon.
The two Deadpools had anticipated this outcome. From the moment they awakened their powers, all their enhancements were meticulously designed and developed to counter Mo Xuanji's abilities.
It could be said that their special abilities might be insignificant to outsiders, but they were quite deadly when dealing with Mo Xuanji.
