Just how powerful Mo Tang is now can be seen from the Ye family's reaction.
Especially after the Wind and Thunder Pavilion annexed the Ice River Valley, its aggressiveness has terrified many forces.
Of course, if it were the other families of the five major families of the Pill Domain present, they might not be so afraid of Mo Tang, but the Ye family would definitely be terrified.
Ye Zhong sighed inwardly, knowing that the Ye family couldn't avoid it today, and could only force a smile, inviting Mo Tang and the other two to sit down.
"If my Ye family agrees to submit to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, how does Mr. Mo plan to arrange things for us?"
Ye Xinlan and her father were also very concerned about this question, looking at Mo Tang with nervous expressions.
Mo Tang chuckled, "Don't worry, I certainly won't treat you unfairly. You can just continue doing what you're used to, and the things belonging to your Ye family will remain yours...
I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm currently building a Four Directions Pavilion Alliance. When the Four Directions Pavilions are united, coupled with the current strength of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, it won't be impossible for us to rival the Two Sects.
I will reserve an elder position for the Ye family in this new alliance, an equal position with the other three pavilions, in charge of all pill refining matters in the alliance...
I wonder what Elder Ye Chong thinks?"
The three members of the Ye family were all taken aback, thinking to themselves: This kid is indeed very ambitious!
He just destroyed one of the Three Valleys, the Ice River Valley, and immediately set his sights on the other three pavilions of the Four Directions Pavilion... If he continues to grow, he might really develop into a force that surpasses the Two Sects and becomes the third largest power in the Central Continent. Of
course, to achieve this, he first needs to have a Saint-level expert under his command; otherwise, it's all just wishful thinking!
However, regardless, the Ye family seems to have no room for resistance, and given that the offer sounds quite good, Ye Zhong is already considering giving in.
However, as the Ye family's Grand Elder, he still needs to secure more benefits for the family.
"Mr. Mo, my Ye family can agree to your proposal, but I have one more condition..."
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Tell me, I'll listen."
"Mr. Mo, my Ye family is a family of alchemists. Refining pills is our duty, but we are not good at fighting. If my Ye family joins the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, or rather the Four Directions Pavilion Alliance, then my Ye family will only refine pills and will not participate in battles. Moreover, Mr. Mo must guarantee the safety of my Ye family!"
Mo Tang's lips curled up, and he said decisively, "No problem!"
Did he want the Ye family to use a group of alchemists as thugs to charge into battle just for the sake of refining pills? He wasn't stupid!
Besides, looking at the Ye family's current strength, if they were really sent to charge into battle, they would only be offering their heads to the enemy, which would be shameful enough.
Seeing that Mo Tang agreed so readily, Ye Zhong also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After glancing at Ye Lan and her father, Ye Xinlan, Ye Zhong finally spoke: "Alright! Then, my Ye family is willing to submit to Mr. Mo's command!"
With a single sentence, he decided the future of the Ye family.
Although Ye Zhong secretly desired the qualification of an elder of the Pill Tower, and was even willing to marry into the Cao family… he had no other choice in the face of Mo Tang and the others.
In the end, Ye Zhong chose to submit.
This choice, however, brought a sense of relief to Ye Xinlan.
She truly didn't want to entrust her remaining years to a man who only wanted to use her, all for the sake of some so-called family…
She had never witnessed the so-called glory of the Ye family.
Since Ye Xinlan could remember, the entire Ye family had been in constant decline, so she had no belief in restoring the glory of her ancestors.
She even resented the constant nagging from her father and grandfather, which is why she chose to study at Canaan Academy to escape the troubles of her family.
Unfortunately, when the time came, as the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she still couldn't escape the responsibility that had been on her shoulders since birth…
If it weren't for the appearance of Mo Tang and the other two, Ye Xinlan knew very well that even though her father and grandfather loved her very much, in the end, she still couldn't escape the fate of marrying into the Cao family!
Therefore, under these circumstances, Ye Xinlan didn't feel that Mo Tang was forcing the Ye family, but rather that he was truly saving the Ye family…
This filled her heart with a faint sense of gratitude towards Mo Tang.
Mo Tang didn't notice her gaze, but Little Fairy Doctor saw it clearly…
She sighed inwardly, realizing that yet another young girl had been captivated by her man, which suddenly made Little Fairy Doctor feel immense pressure…
"No! Now that Sister Yunyun and Sister Queen aren't around, I must keep an eye on this guy and not let him add any more people to the family!"
Little Fairy Doctor secretly decided.
But if Mo Tang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely cry foul…
He really had never had any improper thoughts about this eldest daughter of the Ye family!
It's her own business if she takes a liking to me. Is it a crime to be handsome and powerful in this world?
...
...
After the Ye family chose to submit, the atmosphere improved considerably.
After all, they were now family...
Mo Tang had no designs on the Ye family, but he was very interested in the Yang Fire Ancient Altar from the original story and wanted to see what this so-called Yang Fire was.
Ye Zhong didn't object to this.
Anyway, the altar was there, and people couldn't take it away, so he could look at it if he wanted.
However, Ye Zhong's decision to submit to Mo Tang needed to be announced to the entire Ye family, so Ye Zhong and his son were busy. This matter was entrusted to Ye Xinlan, who accompanied Mo Tang throughout the trip. He could see whatever he wanted; the Ye family was completely open to them!
After accepting the order, Ye Xinlan personally led Mo Tang and his group deeper into the Ye family compound.
About ten minutes later, a very secluded gravel plaza appeared before them. In the center of the plaza was a slightly ancient-looking altar.
Mo Tang looked up and saw that the giant stones used to build the altar were covered with the marks of time, clearly indicating that the altar was very ancient.
Perhaps this ancient altar had existed even longer than Ye City itself…
Mo Tang approached the altar and found the light here exceptionally bright, and the closer he got to the altar, the hotter and purer the energy of the surrounding world became.
Beams of light, almost tangible, poured down from the sky, finally reflecting off the smooth stone walls and converging on a dark stone tablet at the center of the altar.
Ye Xinlan pointed to the stone tablet and said to Mo Tang and the other two, "Beneath this stone tablet lies an underground eye leading deep into the earth. If the stone tablet were moved, some flames from the earth's core would burst forth, igniting the sunlight gathered here, thus forming Yang Fire..."
At this point, Ye Xinlan shook her head regretfully, saying, "But that was several years ago. I only discovered this time after I returned that no more underground fire has appeared below in recent years, so it's impossible to ignite sunlight and form Yang Fire..."
