The next day, the heavily guarded Mojia Fort was draped in white.
This change shocked all the major forces gathered in Yancheng at this time, and then they quickly found out the reason for the incident...
"You mean... that Mo Cheng is dead?"
Ye Cong, the head of the Ye family, stood up from his seat in shock, looked at his subordinates in disbelief and asked.
"Yes! Master, this is what I heard from the Mo family. At this moment, the entire Mo Family Castle is filled with wailing, and they are holding a funeral for Mo Cheng."
Bang!
Ye Cong clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Good! Good! Good!"
"I didn't expect that old thief Mo Cheng would have such a moment! Well done for his death, well done for his death!"
"Haha, God bless our Ye family!"
After Mo Cheng's death, the power of the Mo family instantly declined by half. As a result, the Ye family no longer had to compromise and go to the Mo family to seek peace.
Thinking of this, Ye Cong, the head of the Ye family, felt extremely comfortable.
The resentment that was originally caused by the situation disappeared instantly.
"What does the Mo family say now?"
We had originally planned to hold a birthday party for that old ghost Mo Cheng today, but now that he's dead, it seems like we won't be able to have the wedding wine...
However, after hearing his master's question, the Ye family member's expression became strange, and he said, "Reporting to the master, the Mo family just sent someone to send a message that the banquet will be held as usual..."
"What? Same as before? Is this Mo family member stupid?" Ye Cong suddenly widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.
"This... I don't know either. But that Mo family member did say so. However, this time it's not a birthday banquet, but a funeral banquet for the Mo family's great elder, Mo Cheng..."
You are a little...
Ye Cong didn't know what to say.
Is this Mo family patriarch Mo Lan crazy?
I have never heard of any irreconcilable conflict between Mo Lan and the chief elder before?
You know, that is the chief elder of the Mo family, the pillar of the Mo family, and the decisive figure in the rise of the Mo family...
You have to say that the whole family mourns for three days, so that should be the minimum courtesy, right?
You handled the funeral in such a hurry. Aren't you afraid that the Mo family will be disappointed with you as the head of the family?
But, anyway.
These are all Mohist family affairs. Outsiders like them are just here to watch the fun. Who else would care?
"Master, should we go today or not..."
To be honest, now that Mo Cheng is dead, with the current strength of the Mo family, they are not qualified to ask Ye Cong, the head of the Ye family, to go in person to pay their respects.
But Ye Cong doesn't think so.
"Go! Why not?"
"Now, hundreds of big and small influential forces in the entire Northeast region have gathered in Yancheng. I want to see what tricks the Mo family can come up with next..."
"They are so eager to hold a funeral for old Mo Cheng. I think the Mo family wants to take advantage of the time when everyone is still slow to react and borrow the power of the young master of the Yunlan Sect to intimidate the heroes and give the Mo family time to safely get through this chaotic period..."
As the head of the Ye family, one of the four major families, Ye Cong can easily stand in Mo Lan's shoes and see through many things at a glance.
Mo Cheng's death has become a fact, so as the head of the Mo family, the most important thing now is how to ensure that the Mo family can stabilize the morale of the family members during the initial period of time.
Of course, if it weren't for the rising star Mo Tang, then Mo Lan, the head of the Mo family, would most likely have done things according to his guess.
But now...
...
...
Mojia Fort.
The spacious hall was bustling with people.
Although the surroundings were covered with white cloth, it still couldn't stop the irrepressible joy of the many visitors.
The faces of the Mo family members who were in charge of entertaining the guests were as black as ink, just like their surnames...
However, the visitors around did not seem to care about their expressions. They gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.
On the special seats in the hall sat the leaders or representatives of forces from the eastern provinces of the empire.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Different from those people outside, those who can sit here are all well-known figures in the eastern part of the empire. Although many people are very happy at this moment, they still have to do their best to maintain their appearance.
Sitting at the head of the high platform, Mo Lan, the head of the Mo family, talked indifferently with people from various major forces present. Listening to these people's words of regret or sorrow, he almost felt sick to death.
Among all the people in front of him, no matter they are Mohist's allies or opponents, I am afraid that no one is truly worried about Mohist at this moment.
This is not surprising...
After all, a day ago, the Mohist School was still the largest force in the eastern part of the entire empire, and its style of doing things was very domineering. Whether it was opponents or allies, they all had more or less complaints about such an existence.
Now that such a big change has happened to the Mohist School, they were already giving face by not making sarcastic remarks on the spot.
In the room behind the reception hall, Mo Tang was drinking tea with a leisurely look on his face.
"Are all the people outside here?"
In front of him, Mo Hai, the first-class guard of the Mo family who was originally guarding the gate, was standing there with a flattering face. After listening to Mo Tang's words, he immediately bent down and replied: "Sir, except for the people from the Yunlan Sect, everyone else has arrived. However, news came from the Yancheng City Lord's Mansion that the city lord, Lord Bor, suddenly had something important to do and could not come to pay his respects, so he sent a representative..."
Mo Tang raised his eyebrows and nodded.
With the death of Mo Cheng, the power of the Mo family instantly decreased by seven points!
This is not just the loss of a Douling-level warrior, but more importantly, Mo Cheng is the link between the Mo family and the Yunlan Sect.
You know, many of the fellow disciples who once studied with Mo Cheng in Yunlan Sect have now gained power in Yunlan Sect...
In addition, Mo Cheng has been deliberately maintaining this relationship for so many years, so Mo Cheng's influence within the Yunlan Sect is still very large.
This can be seen from the fact that in the original novel, Yun Lan Sect's great elder Yun Leng fought with Xiao Yan over Mo Cheng's death.
With Mo Cheng around, the Mo family would be a peripheral force of the Yunlan Sect, and touching the Mo family would be a slap in the face of the Yunlan Sect.
But if Mo Cheng died, and if the Mo family couldn't find someone to replace him in a short period of time, then this special relationship would slowly disappear...
Just when Mo Tang's thoughts were in a mess, someone suddenly reported from outside that Yunlan Sect's Young Master Nalan Yanran and Elder Ge Ye had arrived, and the head of the family asked Mo Tang to prepare to welcome the guests.
Seeing this, Mo Tang also stood up and said, "Okay, it's time to go out and meet those guys..."
The protagonist today is not Mo Lan, the head of the Mo family who has been entertaining guests outside early, but Mo Tang, the current number one master of the Mo family and the next great elder of the Mo family!
