Chapter 1057: Xuanming Domain (Subscription Request)_1
```
At that moment, within the Mo Family Mansion, several extremely terrifying spirit force fluctuations suddenly erupted...
Simultaneously, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the great hall!
"Crack," the door of the great hall was briskly pushed open, and a Mo Family Disciple entered with a terrified face...
He cried out anxiously, "Patriarch, the Elders of the other clans have all arrived!"
Upon hearing this, the seated Mo Family Patriarch lifted the corners of his mouth into a curve and said, "Have they arrived? Quicker than I expected. It seems these Elders are even more furious than I thought!"
He had assumed that the Elders of these clans would need to confer before deciding whether to come, yet they had unexpectedly made a decisive move!
The other Elders, seeing this, laughed awkwardly once more, fawningly saying, "As expected, they really came. The plan personally devised by the Patriarch is flawless!"
"Exactly, exactly, those guys probably can't even imagine that everything has been orchestrated by the Patriarch himself! Selling us out and still counting money for us, hahaha!"
"Hmph! Once the strongest Duanmu Clan is dealt with, won't the other clans be at our mercy!"
Patriarch Mo glanced at them with narrowed eyes and said coldly, "Quiet down, everyone. Avoid exposing anything later! If the other clans discover this matter, even our Mo Family will be in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, the Mo Family Elders nodded and said, "Yes, Elder!"
After waiting on the spot for several minutes, dense and hurried footsteps could once again be heard outside the great hall, clearly belonging to the Elders of the other clans!
"Bang!"
The doors were abruptly kicked open, and numerous Elders who had reached the Daluo Jinxian Realm and above marched in...
After scanning the surroundings, they immediately saw the Mo Family Patriarch sitting not far away and began to speak angrily, "Patriarch Mo, what exactly happened to our Family Heads? Why have they all perished??"
"That's right, and only you, Patriarch Mo, came back uninjured from the trip to the Duanmu Clan. You must give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."
Patriarch Mo replied with a nonchalant expression, "Elders, please be rational. If I truly had done something, would I let you know about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Elders fell silent...
Indeed, if the Mo Family had truly taken action, why would they bother to send back the bodies of the Clan Leaders of each family? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
However, they were not fools; even if it wasn't the work of the Mo Family, they were definitely up to something!
Otherwise, why was only Patriarch Mo himself still alive and well?
Subsequently, one of the Elders, with a cold expression, said, "Then, please give us a convincing reason, Patriarch Mo, otherwise, don't blame us for suspecting that your Mo Family colluded with the Duanmu Family!"
Patriarch Mo's expression did not change in the slightest as he calmly said, "Of course! This trip to the Duanmu Family..."
He proceeded to embellish the story of what happened...
After listening to his explanation, the faces of the Elders were filled with doubts and contemplation...
A slightly older-looking Elder squinted and said, "Patriarch Mo, are you saying that the Duanmu Family, relying on the presence of the Elder Family Head, took action to eliminate the Clan Leaders and Elders of both our great families?"
Patriarch Mo nodded affirmatively, "That's right! Although I was lucky enough to survive, we also lost several Elders!"
Saying this, he put on a dark and somber expression...
Seeing him like this, seemingly genuine, the doubt on the faces of the Elders faded a considerable amount...
One of the Elders bellowed angrily, "If this really is the case, we, the great families, absolutely cannot let the Duanmu Clan off easily, otherwise! What kind of Elders would we be!"
Another Elder also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the Duanmu Clan now dares to kill Clan Leaders of our great families, then they will surely dare to act against our families next! They must pay a painful price!"
```
"But relying on just our three clans, if we were to attack the Duanmu Clan, I'm afraid we would be completely annihilated by their Elder Family Head who is half a step into the Saint Realm!"
"Even so, we absolutely can't just let it go!"
Seeing that these Elders had no intention of sparing the Duanmu Clan, the Mo Family Patriarch and the Mo Family Elders each discreetly raised a slight smile...
These fools really fell for it, so now it was time for him to speak!
The Mo Family Patriarch coldly declared, "That's right, we absolutely cannot be lenient on this matter, as it involves the face of our three great clans!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The Elder Family Head of the Duanmu Clan is indeed troublesome, but, perhaps, there is not without a solution!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Elders' eyes flickered with a sharp light...
Could it be that the Mo Family Patriarch had a way to contend with a Half-Step Saint Realm powerhouse?
Thinking this, they eagerly inquired, "May we know what great ideas you have, Patriarch Mo?"
"Presumably, since you have spoken these words, Patriarch Mo, you must have a plan in mind. Please share it with us!"
"As long as we can truly vent this spleen, we will definitely not refuse!"
The Mo Family Patriarch took a deep breath, his expression grave, "In fact, not to conceal from everyone, the Mo Family Ancestor has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and his strength has reached the terrifying Half-Step Saint Realm. Most importantly, he emerged from seclusion just yesterday! If we can secure his assistance, along with a united front from our three great clans, we can definitely destroy the Duanmu Clan!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Elders all secretly thought, "This old fox! Even at a time like this, he still plans to fleece them!"
However, to enlist the help of a Half-Step Saint Realm powerhouse, offering some resources is not a loss at all!!
After a dozen seconds, these Elders seemed to have come to a decision and solemnly said, "Patriarch Mo, there is no need to beat around the bush. If you have any demands, just state them directly!"
"That's right, as long as it's not too excessive, our clans should all be able to come up with it!"
"Whatever the cost, we must make the Duanmu Clan pay a severe price!!"
"Since they dared to kill the Clan Leaders of our several families, they should be ready to face our wrath!"
The Mo Family Patriarch showed a hesitant look, "I too cannot decide on this matter alone. How about this, I will take you all to meet the Mo Family Ancestor right now and have a detailed discussion, how does that sound?"
Without any hesitation, all the Elders decisively agreed!

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng's consciousness quietly returned...
After slowly opening his eyes, he coughed harshly a few times, "Cough, cough..."
Only then did he turn his gaze to his surroundings. He found himself in an environment that felt like a different world, filled with a strange sense of chaos...
Narrowing his eyes, he muttered, "Is this the Xuanming Domain?"
It was indeed completely different from the sensation of the Cultivation World...
Meanwhile, Duanmu Lian and the others were lying unconscious on the freezing ground...
Before long, they gradually began to wake from their unconsciousness...
