Lin Moyu sighed, “You cannot distinguish between the primary and the secondary; it seems you only possess a bit of petty cleverness. You will never amount to much!”

With that, the Skeleton Kings swung their swords down in unison.

Art: White Bone God-Slaying!

Amidst the sword light, the Heavenly Venerables brought by the Yin Family screamed simultaneously. The sword light tore them into shreds, while the Bone Law destroyed their souls.

Treasure light flickered on Yin Mingzong's body. As the eldest young master of the Yin Family, he had defensive magical treasures.

However, his protective treasure was vastly inferior to Xiaoyue's set of three guardian artifacts.

Under the dense sword light, Yin Mingzong's protective treasure only lasted half a second before shattering, collapsing on the spot.

Yin Mingzong spat out blood, his body and soul both suffering heavy damage. However, thanks to the protective treasure, Yin Mingzong managed to save his life.

Lin Moyu's soft laughter sounded, "Not bad, you are actually still alive."

At this moment, Yin Mingzong was filled with fear toward Lin Moyu, "Senior, spare me, do not kill me!"

Lin Moyu laughed, "On the verge of death, you finally distinguish between the primary and the secondary. I thought you weren't afraid of death, but it seems that is not the case."

"Rest assured, I will grant you a quick death."

Yin Mingzong's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with the fear of death, and he shouted, "Uncle Wang, save me!"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "He can barely protect himself, how can he save you?"

At this moment, Yin Changwang was entangled by Cheng Hongguang. Their strengths were similar, and by relying on the power of his magical treasures, he remained in an invincible position.

He saw everything happening in the courtyard and wanted to go save them, but was held back by Cheng Hongguang.

Hearing Yin Mingzong's cries for help, Yin Changwang let out an angry roar, "Get lost!"

The vast power of a High-level Heavenly Venerable surged, causing the Thunder-Shielding Formation to roar incessantly and teeter on the verge of collapse.

The Thunder-Shielding Formation was very strong; even if High-level Heavenly Venerables fought within it, it could remain intact for a certain period. Even Yin Changwang needed time to break the formation.

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Could this be considered trapping oneself in one's own web?"

He had already seen clearly that this formation originated from a formation disk. The formation disk was outside the courtyard, but unfortunately, none of them were the true owners of the disk and could not manipulate it remotely. Now, they were trapped within the formation, unable to escape.

The Skeleton King shifted its target, locking onto Yin Changwang. Lin Moyu pointed his finger, and the Law of Time flowed from his fingertip.

Art: Time Curse!

Yin Changwang's soul felt excruciating pain, and he could not help but let out a scream. His soul fell into a state of temporal chaos; although it was only for a very short time, it was enough to put Yin Changwang in a dangerous predicament.

Lin Moyu took the opportunity to flick a drop of ancestral water, which landed on Cheng Hongguang. Cheng Hongguang's aura strengthened drastically, the power of his palm strikes doubled, and in an instant, thousands of strikes were unleashed.

Yin Changwang fell from the sky, spitting blood. The Skeleton King, having gathered its energy, swung its bone sword and slashed down crazily, causing Yin Changwang's injuries to worsen again. Taking advantage of his vulnerability, Cheng Hongguang pressed the attack, his strikes even more fierce than before.

"Get away!" At this critical moment of life and death, Yin Changwang erupted with astonishing power, surging forth and blasting all the Skeleton Kings away. The Skeleton Kings' bones were shattered; unable to withstand his attack, they collapsed on the spot.

Yin Changwang's entire body glowed with water light, which swirled around him like a dragon.

"This aura, it feels familiar!" Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and he thought of the Hanshui Holy Land. Yin Changwang's aura was somewhat similar to that of Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai.

He muttered to himself, "It seems that the Yin Family is indeed, as rumored, a nail and spy planted by the Hanshui Holy Land in Lei City."

Yin Changwang unleashed a secret art of the Hanshui Holy Land, and his aura strengthened sharply. Although he was still a High-level Heavenly Venerable, he was much stronger than before. The formation roared incessantly, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Yin Changwang had not lost his reason; he rushed toward Yin Mingzong, wanting to save him. As for killing Lin Moyu, it was no longer important; now he needed to save people and ensure his own safety. Light returned to Yin Mingzong's dim eyes, and he saw hope for survival.

Lin Moyu chuckled, "It's useless!" The Skeleton Kings that had just died were resurrected once again, simultaneously slashing at the two. Yin Changwang let out a muffled groan, and the water dragon on his body let out a dragon roar, actually blocking the Skeleton Kings' attack.

However, Yin Mingzong was not so lucky; his body instantly exploded into smithereens, following in his brother's footsteps. Having failed to save anyone, Yin Changwang glared viciously at Lin Moyu and turned to flee.

Lin Moyu flicked his finger, and space twisted slightly as a massive figure suddenly appeared before Yin Changwang. Yin Changwang's expression changed drastically, "Brood Mother!"

A High-level Heavenly Venerable Brood Mother appeared, and it was in its final form. A Brood Mother in its final form possessed the strongest single-target combat power. When a High-level Heavenly Venerable Brood Mother unleashed its final form, its combat power could be called invincible below the rank of Dao Venerable; only a Dragon Clan member of the same realm could rival it.

Yin Changwang's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to flee in another direction. However, the Brood Mother's movements were astonishingly fast, catching up in an instant, and its blades, sharper than any magical treasure, slashed through like lightning. Yin Changwang's eyes instantly dimmed, and his body, along with his soul, was torn to pieces.

Scattered flesh and blood were strewn across the ground, and the entire courtyard was filled with the smell of blood. Xiaoyue was still intoxicated by Daoist Tianlei's Great Dao and had not yet awakened.

Lin Moyu had sat there from beginning to end without moving. The tea on the table was steaming, and the fragrance of the tea mixed with the smell of blood, turning into a very strange and peculiar scent.

"Accompanied by a bloody rain, it has a unique flavor!" With a chuckle, a streak of Undying Flame flew from his fingertip and exploded in the courtyard.

A sea of fire enveloped the courtyard, purifying the bloodiness. The Power of Life spread, and the damaged objects in the courtyard were rapidly restored. In the blink of an eye, they were mostly recovered, with only a few places that could not be fully restored.

Lin Moyu sighed softly, "Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed; otherwise, it could have been restored to its original state." Time could be accelerated or decelerated, but it could not be reversed.

If one possessed great supernatural powers, one could extract objects from the River of Time, which could indeed restore the courtyard to its original state. But that was still not reversing time; in the time segment from which the objects were extracted, those things would be lost, and it would trigger certain unknown karmic consequences. There is great karma in the River of Time, and it should not be touched lightly.

"Speak, what is your true purpose?" Lin Moyu said softly.

Under the Undying Flame, the Yin Mingzong and others who had just died were kneeling on the ground. Yin Mingyang, who had been like a madman, no longer had his former appearance and had also become very obedient, kneeling on the ground with extreme piety.

The protagonist of this incident was Yin Mingzong. After becoming a Revenant, he had completely become Lin Moyu's dog, and he immediately confessed everything, holding nothing back.

The purpose of coming here was actually very simple: to capture Lin Moyu and take him back. He was convinced that Lin Moyu was the person who had plotted against him at the auction previously. At the same time, he felt that as a mere Heavenly Venerable, Lin Moyu could not possibly have such strong strength.

There must be a stronger force supporting Lin Moyu behind the scenes. He believed someone wanted to deal with the Yin Family, and it was highly likely to be the Lei Family. After all, the Yin Family was a spy planted by the Hanshui Holy Land in Lei City, and if given the chance, the Lei Family would definitely deal with the Yin Family.

After hearing Yin Mingzong's report, Lin Moyu couldn't help but smile, "You really thought too much."

If the Lei Family wanted to deal with the Yin Family, they would do it openly and honestly; they would not do such underhanded things. The thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Moyu felt that his own reasoning was also wrong; in that case, wouldn't he have become an underhanded person himself?

Since the Yin Family had already taken action against him, they would definitely not let him go. Moreover, it would be difficult for Yin Mingzong and the others to explain if they returned empty-handed. From Yin Mingzong, Lin Moyu learned about the Yin Family's style of doing things, as well as the character of Clan Leader Yin Changru. Even if they didn't make a move in Lei City, they would still make a move once he left Lei City. And the next time they attacked, it might be a Dao Venerable.

Lin Moyu asked, "How many Dao Venerables are there in the Yin Family, and what are their respective realms?" Yin Mingzong said, "There are a total of three Dao Venerables; the Clan Leader and the Great Elder are both in the Dao One Realm, and the Old Ancestor is in the Dao Two Realm."

The Yin Family's Old Ancestor was in seclusion all year round and generally did not ask about family affairs. The Great Elder was the previous Clan Leader and also the father of the current Clan Leader, Clan Leader Yin Changru. Clan Leader Yin Changru had two sons, Yin Mingzong and Yin Mingyang. If nothing went wrong, once Yin Mingzong reached the High-level Heavenly Venerable realm, the position of Clan Leader would be passed to him. Clan Leader Yin Changru had also obtained the position of Clan Leader in this way.

"The Yin Family's direct lineage has no heirs left!" Lin Moyu muttered to himself. Yin Mingzong and Yin Mingyang had both died at his hands, and the Yin Family's direct line had no successors.

Lin Moyu pondered how to deal with the Yin Family; before resolving the Yin Family, he could not leave Lei City for the time being. Moreover, Lin Moyu did not think that sending the Revenant Yin Mingzong and the others back could be kept hidden for long; sooner or later, they would reveal flaws.

"Then I will resolve the Yin Family!" A bold idea emerged in Lin Moyu's mind.

The Yin Family was a five-star power with three Dao Venerables, and the Old Ancestor was in the Dao Two Realm. With his strength, he was far from being a match for the Yin Family; if any Dao Venerable came, he could only barely save his life. If the Dao Two Realm Old Ancestor attacked, he would be unable to protect himself. Therefore, to resolve the Yin Family, he could only borrow strength. Within Lei City, the only one capable of dealing with the Yin Family was the Lei Family.

How to borrow the strength of the Lei Family became the most important question. Although the people of the Lei Family did not have many twists and turns, they were not fools; if he acted too obviously, it would be easily seen through. Moreover, doing so would be counterproductive. After pondering, Lin Moyu decided to be straightforward and cut to the chase.

From Yin Mingzong, he learned that the Lei Family had actually been suppressing the Yin Family all along, but because the Yin Family was backed by the Hanshui Holy Land, the Lei Family had never taken action against the Yin Family. In other words, the Lei Family would sooner or later take action against the Yin Family, unless the Lei Family was willing to remain under the Hanshui Holy Land forever.

At the same time, Lin Moyu also learned a secret: there was a teleportation formation in the Yin Family. This teleportation formation led directly to the Hanshui Holy Land; as long as the Yin Family was in trouble, the Dao Venerables in the Hanshui Holy Land could reach Lei City directly through the teleportation formation. The teleportation formation was very secret, and the Lei Family did not know about it at all. After pondering, Lin Moyu already had an idea.

"You go back first, act as if this operation failed, do not reveal any flaws, delay some time, and wait for my instructions." As Revenants, Yin Mingzong and the others immediately accepted the order. To not reveal any flaws, Yin Mingyang was actually the key. Yin Mingyang once again displayed his familiar temperament—arrogant, unyielding, defying everyone, and somewhat crazy, prone to explosive rage. It was truly not easy for various emotions to appear on one person at the same time.
