"Does your offer from earlier still stand?" Mo Yu glanced at Shui Muxue, smiling faintly.

As his soft laughter echoed in the hall, the atmosphere shifted, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Countless gazes fell on the silver-eyed young man, their eyes filled with deep confusion.

Who was this person? Not only did he dare to offend the Yuan Clan, one of the Five Major Clans, but he also had a Dou Zun powerhouse as his guard.

While everyone was shocked, Shui Muxue's beautiful eyes lit up with delight upon hearing those words. She quickly nodded and said, "Of course, as long as you are willing to help, the Shui Clan's slot for Ten Thousand Snake Island will naturally belong to you."

"Muxue, you..." Hearing this, Shui Muqing seemed to understand something, and hesitation flashed across her delicate face.

"Elder sister, given our current situation, there's no need to cling to that spot for Ten Thousand Snake Island. As long as the Shui Clan survives, there is still hope," Shui Muxue quickly replied, sensing Shui Muqing's thoughts.

"Ahem, Muxue is right. Muqing, let's proceed as she suggests," interjected the pale-faced old man in a blue robe.

Hearing this, Shui Muqing's expression fluctuated before she finally nodded in agreement.

As long as the Shui Clan could be preserved, giving up the slot for Ten Thousand Snake Island wasn't a loss. It might even be a blessing in disguise.

However, being cautious by nature, Shui Muqing remained skeptical of Mo Yu, an outsider. But thinking of her sister Shui Muxue's keen insight and considering the dire situation of the Shui Clan, she had no choice but to place her trust in Mo Yu.

"So, the Shui Clan's sudden boldness stems from finding themselves some help," Yuan Ling sneered, his lips curling as he watched Mo Yu approach.

Mo Yu regarded the seemingly youthful Yuan Ling, his gaze lingering on the emblem on Yuan Ling's chest. His silver eyes narrowed slightly.

He had originally intended to avoid entanglements with the Five Major Clans of the Southern Sea Region. After all, the fewer conflicts, the better.

Unfortunately, Ten Thousand Snake Island was crucial to reviving She Lao. Coupled with Shui Muxue's tempting proposal, he had no choice but to get involved in this murky situation.

Though the Yuan Clan was formidable, Mo Yu didn't concern himself too much. Once She Lao was revived, with his strength, dealing with these Southern Sea Region factions wouldn't be an issue.

"Judging by your appearance, you're not from the Southern Seas," Yuan Ling said, his gaze shifting between Mo Yu and Qing Zhi. He then smiled faintly, "I assume you two are from Central Plains and unfamiliar with the situation here.

The Shui Clan is at its end. I suggest you avoid meddling in others' business."

Standing beside Qing Zhi, Mo Yu chuckled softly and replied, "The Yuan Clan certainly has an imposing presence, but compared to the Three Valleys of the Central Plains, you're still lacking.

If I don't fear the Ice River Valley, do you think I'd be afraid of a Southern Region Clan like yours?"

"Ice River Valley...?" Hearing this, the gray-robed Hei Yuan Zun Zhe beside Yuan Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.

Though located in the Southern Region, people here were more knowledgeable about the Central Plains than those in other regions.

The reputation of the "One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions" was well known, even in the Southern Seas.

Now, this silver-eyed youth dismissed Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys, which caused a flicker of alarm in Hei Yuan Zun Zhe's heart.

Among the Five Major Clans, only the Xuan Clan, the strongest, could compare to the Three Valleys. As for the Yuan Clan, they were far behind.

"May I ask for your names and which faction you hail from?" Hei Yuan Zun Zhe asked cautiously, casting a wary glance at Qing Zhi before addressing Mo Yu.

He could discern that while Qing Zhi was stronger—a Dou Zun powerhouse on par with himself—it was the younger Mo Yu who led the duo.

This only deepened Hei Yuan Zun Zhe's astonishment, as having a Dou Zun serve as a bodyguard indicated an extraordinary background.

Though he had never been to the Central Plains, Hei Yuan Zun Zhe knew its power dynamics were far more complex and perilous than those of the Southern Seas. Provoking a hidden Central Plains superpower could spell disaster for the Yuan Clan.

Hearing Hei Yuan Zun Zhe's inquiry, Mo Yu smiled faintly and said, "I am Mo Yu, and this is Qing Zhi, a protector sent by my clan.

As for my clan's name, I must apologize. My elders strictly instructed me not to reveal it during this trip. I hope you understand."

"Oh, so you're Young Master Mo Yu and Lord Qing Zhi," Hei Yuan Zun Zhe replied, cupping his hands respectfully. Internally, he was startled.

Having a Dou Zun protector confirmed the extraordinary status of this silver-eyed youth.

Still, Hei Yuan Zun Zhe was puzzled. Despite having traveled through the Central Plains in his youth, he had never heard of a prominent Mo Clan or a renowned figure like Qing Zhi.

Seeing Hei Yuan Zun Zhe's contemplative look, Mo Yu smiled faintly. He had deliberately emphasized Qing Zhi's role as his protector to maintain his mysterious identity, thereby instilling caution in the Yuan Clan.

With this in mind, Mo Yu turned his gaze to Yuan Ling and said, "Young Master Yuan Ling, the conflict between the Yuan Clan and Shui Clan is merely a minor grievance. Why not take a step back for mutual benefit?"

Yuan Ling's youthful arrogance flared as he sneered coldly, "Take a step back? How would the Yuan Clan explain that?

When we announced this marriage alliance with the Shui Clan, we made it public. If we fail to fulfill it, wouldn't that be a disgrace? Is that what you call a minor grievance?"

"So, Young Master Yuan Ling intends to take someone away today no matter what?" Mo Yu stepped forward, his tone calm but firm.

Yuan Ling squinted at Mo Yu, his pride preventing him from backing down. Rarely had anyone among the younger generation treated him so brazenly.

As the two stood face to face, separated by only a short distance, Yuan Ling glared at Mo Yu and said coldly, "Mo Yu, no matter who you are, remember that this is the Southern Seas, not the Central Plains.

If the Yuan Clan spreads the word, even your family might find it troublesome."

"I dared to destroy Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys. Do you think your Yuan Clan is harder to deal with?" Mo Yu slowly opened his hand, his tone indifferent.

Hearing this, Yuan Ling's expression shifted slightly.

Although the Yuan Clan held significant influence in the Southern Region, they paled compared to Ice River Valley, one of the Central Plains' Three Valleys.

If Mo Yu's claim of destroying Ice River Valley were true, it would be a terrifying feat indeed.

"Hmph, anyone can boast. Ice River Valley has stood tall on the continent for hundreds of years, yet I've never heard of any true crisis occurring. Why should I believe you based on just a few words?"

With Yuan Ling's proud nature, it was impossible for him to back down in front of Mo Yu. Moreover, he didn't believe what Mo Yu said. He let out a cold laugh and spoke in a deep voice.

Though Yuan Ling didn't believe him, Shui Muxue's expression subtly changed upon hearing Mo Yu's words.

This was because, during her previous investigations, she had indeed learned that Mo Yu had eradicated a significant power in Central Plains.

Only now did she realize that this power was none other than one of the Three Valleys—Ice River Valley.

"Little sister, what's wrong?" Noticing the change in Shui Muxue's expression, Shui Muqing's slender eyes flashed with doubt as she asked.

"Elder sister, what this Mo Yu gentleman says is true. This time, our Shui Clan may truly be saved," Shui Muxue took a deep breath and then smiled faintly.

"What?" Hearing this, Shui Muqing and the Shui Clan members behind her were all stunned, their faces filled with shock.

They had thought Mo Yu's words were mere intimidation, but now it seemed to be the truth.

Ice River Valley—an immensely powerful force in Central Plains. If placed in the Southern Sea, it would undoubtedly be considered a top-tier power. And yet, such a force had been destroyed by this seemingly young man?

"Elder sister, second grandpa, third grandpa, you know the nature of my constitution. This matter should not be wrong," Shui Muxue said with a gentle smile.

"Heh, if that's the case, then our Shui Clan indeed has hope. However, from now on, we must wholeheartedly win over this Mo Yu gentleman," said the blue-robed elder on the left, smiling. "With his help and that of the family behind him, our Shui Clan's crisis can surely be resolved."

Hearing this, Shui Muqing was momentarily stunned before nodding. Her enchanting eyes turned toward Mo Yu, flashing with a hint of complexity.

"For just the Shui Clan, it's not worth offending the Yuan Clan! If you're willing, my Yuan Clan would gladly welcome you as a friend!" Yuan Ling spoke again, looking at Mo Yu.

Mo Yu chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Forget it. I came to the Southern Region merely to ascend to Ten Thousand Snake Island. Since the Shui Clan is willing to provide this assistance, their troubles will naturally be resolved by me."

Hearing this, Yuan Ling froze momentarily, and his gaze darkened.

The spot on Ten Thousand Snake Island was an incredibly valuable opportunity for the various powers of the Southern Region. As for his Yuan Clan, there was no way they would give up such a rare treasure to win Mo Yu over.

If not for the Shui Clan being at the brink of life and death, they too would likely not have chosen to offer such a significant benefit.

Seeing Yuan Ling's reaction, Mo Yu raised his eyebrows, realizing the importance of Ten Thousand Snake Island in the Southern Region. This solidified his resolve to aid the Shui Clan.

After all, this matter was crucial to She Lao's revival and could not afford to fail.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu smiled faintly, crossing his arms as he stared directly at Yuan Ling without the slightest intention of backing down.

Under Mo Yu's unyielding gaze, Yuan Ling's expression grew increasingly grim. The gray-robed elder behind him furrowed his wrinkled brow, glanced warily at Mo Yu and his companion, and leaned close to Yuan Ling, whispering something.

After the whisper, Yuan Ling's expression became even darker. He glared at Mo Yu and coldly snorted.

"Mo Yu, is it? Even if you have a Dou Zun expert with you, the Southern Region isn't a place for Central Plains people like you to meddle. Let me give you a piece of advice: go back to where you came from while you still can."

At this point, Yuan Ling's gaze turned maliciously toward the Shui Clan as he said coldly, "Don't think that clinging to a powerful ally will guarantee your Shui Clan's safety. Shui Muqing, the Two-Headed Jiao Clan's prince has long admired you. I wonder if your ally can withstand the pressure of the Two-Headed Jiao Clan?"

Shui Muqing's expression shifted slightly as she retorted coldly, "That's none of your concern."

Yuan Ling sneered and turned back to Mo Yu. "Mark my words, Mo Yu. Involving yourself with the Shui Clan's mess is something you'll regret sooner or later!"

"Are you done? If so, please leave," Mo Yu interlaced his fingers and spoke indifferently, not sparing Yuan Ling another glance.

Yuan Ling was brimming with rage at Mo Yu's aloof attitude. Were it not for the Dou Zun expert backing Mo Yu and Hei Yuan Zun Zhe's wariness of Mo Yu's background, Yuan Ling would likely have ordered Hei Yuan Zun Zhe to teach this irritating man a harsh lesson.

"Since you're so eager to reach Ten Thousand Snake Island, someone will deal with you when the time comes!"

After glaring at Mo Yu with a menacing gaze for a moment, Yuan Ling finally turned sharply and left with a furious wave of his hand.

The Yuan Clan members exchanged hesitant glances before letting out quiet sighs and quickly following behind him.

Seeing the Yuan Clan's retreat, the Shui Clan members breathed a collective sigh of relief before erupting in cheers. Their gazes toward Mo Yu were filled with gratitude and reverence.

"Thank you, Mr. Mo Yu!" Shui Muxue also exhaled softly, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Mo Yu with a hint of joy.

Mo Yu waved his hand. "It's merely an exchange of interests. Since your Shui Clan has something I want, I naturally won't stand idly by."

"Mr. Mo Yu, I am Shui Muqing, the current head of the Shui Clan. Your great kindness to the Shui Clan is something we will never forget. On behalf of the family's leadership, I officially declare that the Ten Thousand Snake Island spot is now yours.

Furthermore, should you ever need the Shui Clan's assistance, we will do our utmost, even if the task is difficult to accomplish." Shui Muqing's enchanting eyes looked at Mo Yu with seriousness as she clasped her hands in respect.

Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. His silver eyes scanned Shui Muqing with curiosity.

Although her appearance was stunning and alluring, Shui Muqing exuded a heroic aura, completely devoid of the delicate demeanor typical of women. This stark contrast intrigued him.

Perhaps the drastic changes within her family had forced her to shoulder the burdens of leadership.

"Rest assured. Since I've promised Shui Muxue, I won't abandon your Shui Clan. From now on, feel free to call me by my name."

With confirmation of the Ten Thousand Snake Island spot, Mo Yu was in high spirits and smiled faintly.

Seeing Mo Yu's amicable demeanor, Shui Muqing and the others relaxed considerably.

Shui Muqing, in particular, had learned firsthand the complexities of human nature since taking over the family. Her extraordinary beauty had drawn countless lecherous gazes and schemes.

Yet Mo Yu's gaze, though occasionally appreciative, held no vulgar intent, nor did he use his position to make unreasonable demands. This won him considerable favor in her heart.

After some casual conversation, Mo Yu asked, "Can we depart for Ten Thousand Snake Island soon?"
