On the other side, the icy gaze of the Mo Family Ancestor was fixed on the several Elders before him…
In a chilling voice, he said, "Do any of you have any last words to say?"
Under the terrifying might, the Elders opposite unconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes filled with a thick sense of fear…
This Mo Family Ancestor, his strength was even more terrifying than they had imagined!
They had previously thought of putting up a desperate fight, but when they saw him punch through the defenses of an Elder of the Immortal Monarch Realm and shatter his heart…
All of them were dumbstruck! Naturally, they no longer entertained thoughts of resistance…
If the gap in strength had not been so large, perhaps they could have considered resisting, but at this moment, the disparity between them and the Mo Family Ancestor was enough to drive each of them to despair!
Therefore, they couldn't muster the will to resist at all…
Thinking this, the eyes of these Elders flickered a few times, as if they had made some decision!
One of the Elders took a deep breath, and said with utmost seriousness, "Mo Family Ancestor, please spare us, if you let us go, we are willing to lead our family disciples to join the Mo Family!"
Hearing this, another Elder also hurriedly echoed, "That's right! Please show mercy and let us off the hook!"
"We are willing to be the Mo Family's oxen and horses, we just hope for a chance to live!!"
"Mo Family Ancestor, even if you integrate the disciples of our several clans into the Mo Family, the number of Elders will surely be difficult to replenish, right?"
The Mo Family Ancestor's murky eyes tightened, and he said coldly, "Oh? As long as you are given a chance to live, you are willing to join the Mo Family?"
The people before him were no match for the Elders of the destroyed Duanmu Clan…
At least the latter did not give up in such desperate times but chose to resist by self-detonation!
Hearing this from the Mo Family Ancestor, the hearts of these Elders leaped with joy…
If he had not immediately made a move, could it mean they still had a chance?
Thinking this, each Elder's emotions became even more agitated; their lives were at stake, after all!
Thus, they unanimously affirmed, "That's correct, Elder Mo, we believe with our inclusion, it's only a matter of time before the Mo Family returns to its peak!"
"Our strength as Elders might be insignificant in your presence, but in the Cultivation World, we are first-rate! We can definitely be of help."
"If Elder Mo does not trust us, we are willing to swear an oath to the heavens! If we harbor any thoughts of betrayal, may our cultivation levels stagnate!"
The icy gaze of the Mo Family Ancestor swept over the Elder…
Did he think he was being amusing? This kind of oath had absolutely no use whatsoever!
What's more, the talents of these people had reached their limit, and they were essentially hopeless from reaching the Saint Realm!
At this moment, the Mo Family Patriarch and the Elders approached the Mo Family Ancestor, and the former asked perplexedly, "Ancestor, what do you think?"
He certainly had no trust in these Elders; being forced to join the Mo Family, who knew when they might betray?
At that time, it would be a fatal blow to the Mo Family!
The rest of the Mo Family Elders also expressed their thoughts…
"I think what these Elders have said does make some sense, but we must be cautious!"
"The saying 'Those not of our kin, are sure to have a different heart' is not without reason! My suggestion is still to execute them! Our Mo Family may lack Elders, but we don't need these people."
"But with the addition of these people, we can more or less make up for the lost number of Elders. How to decide still rests with you, Ancestor!"
After a moment of contemplation, the Mo Family Ancestor said in a cold voice, "I can agree to your terms."
Upon hearing this, the other clans' Elders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief…
```
"As long as we preserve our lives, that's good enough. Once we escape the duty of guarding this Secret Realm, we can quickly take our Clan's disciples and leave. Who would want to join the damned Mo Family then!"
But the next words of the Mo Family Ancestor sent a chill down their spines....
"However, I have one condition: all of you must surrender control of your lives to me!"
His words were filled with an undeniable assertiveness....
The Elders forced a smile and said, "Elder Ancestor, this... this isn't right, is it?"
"This way, even if we join the Mo Family, trust between us would be lost!"
"That's right, Elder Ancestor, we all truly wish to join the Mo Family, but this... Isn't this a bit too much?"
Seeing their unwillingness, the Mo Family Ancestor's imposing presence suddenly burst forth....
A terrifying oppressive force immediately filled the surrounding space, and he said in an icy tone, "Don't agree? Then there's nothing more to say, go to die! Immortal Grade...."
He was not a patient man!
Seeing the Mo Family Ancestor ready to act without hesitation, the Elders instantly panicked....
They immediately dismissed all thoughts they had....
They urgently said, "Wait... Elder Ancestor! Don't act yet! I... I agree!"
"I agree too. It's just handing our lives over to Elder Ancestor, and to be able to gain a chance to live is already satisfying enough!"
"Elder Ancestor, you are really too serious. We didn't say we wouldn't agree, right? Hehe... hehe"
Hearing this, the Mo Family Ancestor then let out a cold "hmpf" and stopped his action....
He stared at them and said, "So, shall we start now?"
The Elders looked at each other helplessly and released their Spiritual Power, one after another spitting out from their mouths the Essence Blood that had condensed into blood beads....
The Mo Family Ancestor's expression remained cold as he caught the beads of blood, one by one....
After having all the blood beads in hand, he evidently established some sort of connection with these Elders....
If he crushed these blood beads, the Elders before him would die instantly!
In the future, there would be no need to worry about these fellows betraying the Mo Family ever again!
As for those Elders who had surrendered their Essence Blood, their expressions were extremely ugly....
The feeling of having their lives controlled by someone else was indeed not the slightest bit pleasant....
The Mo Family Elders who were watching couldn't help but gasp....
"Hiss, are these the methods of our Ancestor? Indeed extremely intense! He actually made these cowards hand over their Essence Blood!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's only because the Ancestor's power is too strong; they know that no matter how they resist, it's all futile. Otherwise, how could they have agreed to this?"
"Exactly! Nevertheless, this is probably a good thing. At least it keeps these fellows from harboring any ill will towards the Mo Family, otherwise, they would be instantly killed by the Ancestor crushing their Essence Blood!"
The Mo Family Patriarch, seeing that the matter was resolved, said, "Elder Ancestor, now that we've dealt with the Duanmu Clan, shall we quickly move on to the other major Clans to absorb their disciples?"
The Mo Family Ancestor glanced at the Elders and then said, "Hmm! Let's set out!"
Shortly after, the Mo Family procession departed....
What was left of the Duanmu Mansion was akin to ruins!!
