"What? Our camp has been seized?"

Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man in front of her, Shui Muqing was momentarily stunned. Then, her delicate face darkened with a grim expression.

Even the blue-robed elder beside her furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "Shui Ling, who did this?"

"Second Grand Uncle, it was the Black Tail Clan of the Sea Clan!" Shui Ling, the middle-aged man, replied indignantly.

"So, it's the Black Tail Clan of the Sea Clan. It seems that even with the passing of the Sea Clan patriarch, they still harbor considerable animosity towards our Shui Clan," the blue-robed elder sighed.

As his voice fell, Shui Muqing, her sister, and other Shui Clan members also fell silent, their faces filled with dejection.

"What's going on? Does the Black Tail Clan of the Sea Clan have some grudge against the Shui Clan?"

Seeing their reaction, Mo Yu raised his brows and asked.

Hearing this, Shui Muqing's expression turned complicated as she nodded lightly. "Yes, there is indeed some animosity between our Shui Clan and the Black Tail Clan of the Sea Clan."

She hesitated briefly, then began to explain: "It all goes back to my father. Before he assumed the position of clan leader, he traveled extensively across the Southern Sea. During his travels, he met my mother on an island near the Black Tail Clan's territory. They fell in love at first sight and pledged their lives to each other.

However, my father wasn't the only one interested in my mother at the time. The Black Tail Clan's Wu Mang also desired her. In an attempt to steal her away, Wu Mang even ambushed my parents on their way back home. But in the end, his strength fell short, and he was gravely injured and crippled by my father.

Wu Mang was the son of the previous patriarch of the Black Tail Clan and the younger brother of the current patriarch, Wu Jun. As a result, his injury caused a massive uproar at the time.

Although the Shui Clan was not at fault, in order to quell the animosity between the two clans, my clan apologized and paid a heavy price to resolve the conflict.

Who could have imagined that after so many years, with even my father no longer in this world, the Black Tail Clan would still remember this old grudge?"

As Mo Yu listened to Shui Muqing recount the events, he nodded slightly, gaining an understanding of the situation.

"Ah, forget it, Muqing. Take some of our clansmen and establish a new camp. Although this is the outer perimeter of Ten Thousand Snake Island, there's still enough open space for us," the blue-robed elder sighed.

Hearing this, Shui Muqing frowned deeply, then reluctantly nodded.

Although building a new camp wasn't difficult for the Shui Clan, the fact that their camp had been taken over and they had to endure it silently was undoubtedly another blow to the Shui Clan's reputation, especially as they were on the verge of falling out of the Five Major Clans.

"Since that's the case, Uncle Shui Ling, please—"

Just as Shui Muqing was about to assign tasks for building the new camp, a voice suddenly interrupted her.

"What is the Black Tail Clan's strength like?"

Hearing this, Shui Muqing was taken aback. She then replied softly, "Among the eight lineages of the Sea Clan, the Black Tail Clan is not particularly strong and ranks among the weaker ones. If not for my father's passing, they likely wouldn't dare to provoke the Shui Clan like this.

Currently, the strongest individual in the Black Tail Clan should be their patriarch, Wu Jun, who is roughly at the one-star Dou Zun level."

"One-star Dou Zun, huh..." Mo Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then chuckled lightly. "In that case, there's no need to build a new camp. Let's just reclaim the old one."

"What? Reclaim it?" Shui Ling was stunned upon hearing this, his face immediately darkening. "Who are you, and why are you spouting nonsense?"

As the Shui Clan's guardian on Ten Thousand Snake Island, Shui Ling had never met Mo Yu before and instinctively assumed him to be a friend of the Shui sisters. His first reaction was to reprimand him.

Although he was angry about the Black Tail Clan's actions, Shui Ling was also well aware that, given the Shui Clan's current strength, trying to reclaim their camp would be akin to courting death and falling into the Black Tail Clan's trap.

However, while Shui Ling was baffled and irritated, those who had witnessed Mo Yu's and Qing Zhi's power were visibly delighted. They knew all too well how terrifying this silver-eyed youth was.

When Shui Ling directed his anger at Mo Yu, the others in the Shui Clan grew visibly nervous.

"Shui Ling, watch your tongue! Mr. Mo Yu is an honored guest of the Shui Clan. How dare you speak to him so rudely? Apologize to Mr. Mo Yu at once!" the blue-robed elder shouted furiously.

Hearing this, Shui Ling was taken aback. As someone entrusted to guard Ten Thousand Snake Island, his position within the Shui Clan wasn't low.

Yet, the blue-robed elder had just ordered him to apologize to a young man he didn't even know. This left him confused and even slightly angered.

At that moment, a younger member of the Shui Clan quickly approached Shui Ling and whispered something into his ear.

Moments later, Shui Ling's expression changed dramatically as he looked at Mo Yu in shock. Through the whispered explanation, he had learned of Mo Yu's general background—a distinguished guest from the Central Plains, with powerful connections and the potential to aid the Shui Clan!

Although he found it hard to believe, when Shui Ling's gaze fell upon Qing Zhi behind Mo Yu, his heart immediately sank.

A Dou Zun powerhouse!

"Mr. Mo Yu, I failed to recognize your status and offended you. Please forgive my ignorance and rashness," Shui Ling said as he stepped forward, clasping his hands in apology.

As a member of the Shui Clan, if Mo Yu could help stabilize their situation, Shui Ling would be overjoyed, even if it meant apologizing to someone younger than him.

Besides, anyone who could travel with a Dou Zun powerhouse was obviously no ordinary person.

"Heh, ignorance is no crime." Mo Yu smiled faintly before saying, "In that case, Uncle Shui Ling, may I trouble you to take me to the Shui Clan's old camp so I can meet this Black Tail Clan?"

"Of course!"

Shui Ling cupped his hands solemnly, then waved to lead the way.

Behind him, the Shui sisters and a large group of Shui Clan members followed closely, their murderous aura drawing curious gazes from those nearby.

Many who were aware of the situation trailed after the Shui Clan's group, eager to witness the drama that was about to unfold.

In the central area of the Ten Thousand Snake Island's outer perimeter, numerous mountain peaks stood tall. Since this area was close to the opening point of the island, the better locations were already occupied by powerful factions.

Solo practitioners and smaller forces could only settle for less favorable spots.

The outer perimeter of Ten Thousand Snake Island was teeming with activity. People were everywhere, and the air was filled with noise and shouting. Conflicts over trivial matters often escalated into full-blown brawls, which was a common sight in this lawless zone.

At the top of one of these mountains, a large group of people had gathered. A black banner fluttered in the wind, displaying the bold characters "Black Tail Clan" in shimmering black. The sight was imposing from afar.

However, those familiar with the area knew that this location originally belonged to the Shui Clan. Due to certain circumstances, it had been taken over by the Black Tail Clan.

Few cared about this development. On the continent, strength was everything. If the Shui Clan lacked the power to hold their territory, it was only natural for it to be seized.

The only question on everyone's minds was whether the Shui Clan could maintain their position among the Five Major Clans after the competition concluded.

At the top of the mountain, rows of black tents stretched out across the area. From within the tents came faint sounds of breathing, indicating the presence of powerful individuals.

At the center of the camp, a grand tent stood out, surrounded by guards with cold, vigilant expressions. From within the tent came the occasional sound of laughter and conversation, adding a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere outside.

The guards stationed around the area were towering figures, their faces marked with faint fish-like patterns. What caught the eye most was the presence of enormous, jet-black tails extending behind them.

These dark tails resembled those of a crocodile, exuding a violent and destructive aura. Clearly, these beings were not human but rather members of the Sea Clan's Black Tail Clan.

Suddenly, the flap of a nearby tent was lifted, and a shadowy figure, carrying a faint scent of alcohol, strode out.

This figure also had a massive black tail, yet his right side appeared as though it had been corroded by acid, revealing a horrifying visage. Upon seeing him, the surrounding guards immediately bowed in respect.

"Elder Wu Mang."

"Hmm," the shadowy figure responded indifferently. His grotesque appearance clearly identified him as Wu Mang, the Black Tail Clan member mentioned by Shui Muqing.

"Any news of the Shui Clan?" Wu Mang asked coldly, his tone carrying a hint of malice. "I wonder if they'll dare come and reclaim what was once theirs. If they do, I can finally exact revenge for the injury that crippled me back then.

Pity the agreement between the Sea Clan and the humans forbids open warfare. Otherwise, when Shui Pohai fell, the Shui Clan would've already been annihilated by my Black Tail Clan."

Wu Mang exhaled sharply, glancing at the Black Tail Clan guards nearby, his expression darkening.

"Elder Wu Mang, we've yet to receive any updates about the Shui Clan," one of the guards respectfully replied, though he couldn't hide the unease that Wu Mang's disfigured face caused.

Hearing this, Wu Mang let out a cold laugh. "The Shui Clan truly has declined. But they can run for a while, not forever. I'll wipe them out sooner or later!"

After venting his pent-up hatred, Wu Mang turned to head back into the tent. However, just as he was about to step inside, he paused, his brow furrowing as faint commotion drifted up from the mountain path below.

"What's going on?" Wu Mang asked with a frown.

"Please don't worry, Elder Wu Mang. I'll go take a look," a Black Tail Clan expert at the Dou Huang level quickly replied. With a flash, he shot down toward the source of the disturbance.

Boom!

Before Wu Mang could react, a muffled thud resounded. The Dou Huang expert who had just left was sent hurtling back with a miserable scream, crashing into several tents along the way and leaving destruction in his wake.

"Who dares to cause trouble in the Black Tail Clan's territory? Courting death?!"

The sight caused the Black Tail Clan guards to grow furious, their expressions darkening. Wu Mang's face turned grim as well.

"Capture the intruder, dead or alive!" Wu Mang roared angrily.

The guards immediately obeyed, their figures flashing forward like a pack of wolves, their faces filled with ruthless ferocity as they charged down the mountain.

Seeing his subordinates take action, Wu Mang took a single step forward, eager to see who dared challenge his clan. However, just as he moved, a series of dull thuds echoed out.

In an instant, the guards who had rushed down were sent flying back, spraying blood into the air. They landed heavily on the ground, writhing in pain and groaning.

This abrupt turn of events caused Wu Mang to freeze mid-step. His grim expression grew even more serious. Whoever could easily defeat so many Black Tail Clan experts clearly wasn't an ordinary foe.

"Who's there?" Wu Mang called out, his gaze locked onto the mountain path. "This is the territory of the Black Tail Clan. I hope you'll consider our position and show restraint."

"Hah! Wu Mang, you brazenly seized my Shui Clan's camp and shamelessly claimed it as your own. You've got some nerve!"

Before Wu Mang could finish his words, a raspy, mocking voice drifted up from below. Moments later, a group of figures emerged into view. Leading them was an elderly man in a blue robe, causing Wu Mang's expression to darken instantly.

"Shui Cang?!"

The sight of the elder brought a chilling gleam to Wu Mang's eyes. His hatred for the Shui Clan ran deep, stemming from the humiliation and injury inflicted upon him by Shui Pohai years ago. Seeing Shui Cang here now only fanned the flames of his resentment.

"So, it's the remnants of the defeated Shui Clan. Perfect timing! This place will serve as your graveyard!" Wu Mang's venomous smile spread across his disfigured face as his gaze swept over the Shui Clan's group.

"You—!" Shui Cang's face turned livid with rage at the taunt. His fury burned, but he held back, knowing he wasn't the main player in this confrontation.

On the other side, Wu Mang's twisted smile deepened as he prepared to attack. With a flash of black light beneath his feet, he charged at Shui Cang with killing intent.

However, just as Wu Mang vanished from sight, Mo Yu, who stood silently within the Shui Clan's ranks, allowed a faint smile to curve his lips. With a casual wave of his hand, a white, icy figure leaped forth.

The icy figure clenched their palm lightly toward the space ahead, and with that simple motion, the air before them collapsed inward.

Wu Mang's figure suddenly appeared in the warped space, his face now filled with shock and terror. A single move had confined him—this level of control was something only a Dou Zun could achieve!

"Can Clan Leader Wu Jun of the Black Tail Clan explain why you've seized the Shui Clan's camp?" Mo Yu asked coldly, not even sparing Wu Mang a glance.

With a flick of his fingers, Wu Mang's body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing into the large tent behind him. The gathered Black Tail Clan members watched in utter horror, their faces pale with disbelief.
