Since the incident in the cave, the past few days had built a subtle understanding between Mo Yu and She Lao. Letting She Lao take control of his body was no longer a concern for Mo Yu, nor did he worry about the possibility of being possessed.
After all, this wasn't a world of immortal cultivation, where possession was a common threat. On the Dou Qi Continent, it was exceedingly rare, and no instances of a strong person taking over another's body had ever been heard of.
Moreover, Mo Yu was human, while She Lao was of the snake-people race. Deep in Mo Yu's soul sea rested ten slumbering thunder soul, forming a protective armor around his spirit. Even a Dou Zun expert at their peak would find it impossible to seize control of Mo Yu's body.
After thinking it through, Mo Yu nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
As his eyes shut, a powerful aura, comparable to that of a Dou Wang or even a Dou Huang, suddenly surged from within the boy's body.
The increase in momentum continued for a moment before it gradually stabilized.
Sensing the rapidly growing aura, a strange, cold expression appeared on the normally calm face of the youth.
At this moment, it was She Lao who was in control of Mo Yu's body.
After taking control, She Lao, who had not experienced the feeling of having a physical form for a long time, couldn't help but stretch his limbs. However, when he sensed the depths of Mo Yu's soul sea, his expression changed slightly.
"What a strange soul sea. That space of silent death, resembling a sea of thunder, what exactly is it? Could it truly be the inheritance Mo Yu obtained in that ancient ruin?"
The terrifying aura within made even She Lao, a Dou Zun expert, shudder from the depths of his soul, while his curiosity about the youth's mysterious encounter only deepened.
"Never mind, for now, let's help this kid obtain the Ten Thousand Beast Flame..." Squinting slightly, 'Mo Yu' moved forward toward the wide corridor.
As the youth stepped in, the corridor began to flash with a crimson light. With the emergence of this red glow, the energy barriers within the corridor suddenly activated.
With their activation, an invisible force pressed down on Mo Yu's body, exerting pressure as if he were submerged under the depths of the ocean, making it nearly impossible to advance.
In the face of this, 'Mo Yu' remained unfazed. Bringing his hands together, he quickly formed a strange hand seal.
As the seal completed, a strange purple-golden glow enveloped his body, emitting an eerie and dazzling light that seemed to carry the power of an ancient bloodline.
With the appearance of this purple-golden light, the oppressive force surrounding him instantly dissipated, no longer able to hinder him.
In this state, he moved through the corridor like a fish in water, unaffected by the energy barriers. After about three minutes, he finally emerged from the corridor.
With the task completed, She Lao's soul slowly withdrew from the youth's body, allowing Mo Yu to regain control.
Mo Yu glanced back at the corridor he had passed through, breathing a sigh of relief.
Although his body had been under She Lao's control, Mo Yu could still sense the pressure exerted by the energy barriers within the corridor.
This pressure was such that even lower-ranked Dou Wang experts might have found it nearly impossible to traverse the corridor so easily.
Fortunately, She Lao had once been a Dou Zun expert and possessed the rare ancient bloodline of the Seven-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent. With such power, he could pass through the barriers effortlessly.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel grateful—truly, having an experienced elder by one's side was a great advantage. With She Lao's presence, he could handle situations much more confidently.
Now, Mo Yu could finally understand the ease with which Xiao Yan had navigated challenges—indeed, it felt like having a cheat code.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu turned around and looked at the hall before him.
He pushed open the large doors, revealing a hall that was not very spacious. It was surrounded by lush bamboo groves and blooming flowers, giving it a vibrant and beautiful appearance.
In the center of the hall stood numerous grand and imposing statues of the Lizard Serpent Clan's kings, used for ritual purposes.
"The aura of the Heavenly Flame..." Mo Yu took a deep breath. At this close distance, he could feel the presence of the hidden flame within the hall.
In his deep, dark eyes, a fervent flame flickered. Clenching his fists tightly, he thought to himself that, no matter what, he must acquire this Heavenly Flame—he had invested far too much for this opportunity.
The purple-golden glow gradually faded from his body as She Lao's voice sounded again, "Be careful. This hall serves as a sanctuary for the Lizard Serpent royalty. There may be hidden dangers here.
With Mu Lan Valley and the Lizard Serpent Clan currently focused on their battle outside, this is your chance to claim the Ten Thousand Beast Flame before they can react."
"Got it."
Mo Yu took a deep breath to calm himself, standing at the entrance of the hall for a moment before slowly stepping inside.
Walking along a path paved with special black jade stones, the quiet atmosphere was disturbed only by the faint sound of Mo Yu's footsteps against the floor.
Although She Lao no longer guided him directly, Mo Yu could still follow the faint trace of a unique fiery aura lingering in the air, leading him in the right direction.
He walked at a steady pace, turning down a few paths until his view suddenly opened up, revealing a broader space. As he rounded the corner, he quickly crouched down, hiding behind a statue and peering through the gaps to observe the open area at the center of the hall.
It was a circular clearing, with the surrounding bamboo and flowers neatly trimmed back. Smooth, small pebbles were scattered throughout, forming a small altar in the center.
The altar was adorned with numerous translucent crystals, with swirling white mist coiling around their surfaces. Even from a distance, Mo Yu could sense the mysterious spatial energy they contained.
"Void Ice Crystals..." Mo Yu's eyes locked onto the shimmering crystals, and he couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
On the Dou Qi Continent, only Dou Zun experts could harness spatial powers. For those weaker, it was nearly impossible to come into contact with such forces. Void Ice Crystals were a rare exception, as they contained a trace of spatial energy.
Many strong experts who couldn't reach the Dou Zun realm cherished Void Ice Crystals, using them to gain insight into spatial powers. Beyond that, the spatial energy within these crystals could also be used to protect valuable treasures within a family.
When Mo Yu raided the Mo Clan's treasury, the protective barrier around the Golden Beast Eyes was constructed using the spatial energy of Void Ice Crystals, adding to their immense value.
To find such a large quantity of Void Ice Crystals—half the size of a low-tier spatial ring—was truly astonishing.
Seeing this trove of Void Ice Crystals, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
If all went according to plan, devouring the Ten Thousand Beast Flame would allow the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to reach its peak state. Once it fully recovered, Mo Yu could then prepare to awaken the next Thunder Soul. At that point, the Void Ice Crystals would become immensely valuable for his plans...
After calming his excitement, Mo Yu suppressed his thoughts of future plans and refocused on the altar at the center. His gaze settled on a peculiar furnace, carved from the bones of an ancient magical beast.
At this moment, atop the beast bone furnace, a mass of crimson flame was slowly rising.
Gazing at the crimson flame, Mo Yu's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needlepoint. In his pitch-black eyes, an intense desire broke through all restraints and appeared unabashedly on his youthful, handsome face.
The crimson flame was highly spiritual, occasionally transforming into the shape of a lion, then into a swift red flame leopard, faintly revealing the forms of countless beasts.
Staring unblinkingly at the ever-changing crimson flame, Mo Yu's lips curled into a faint smile, and his eyes gleamed with undisguised heat.
At the same time, as if sensing its master's emotions, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder kept chirping within the boy's heart, its cries filled with deep greed.
"I've finally found you…" Mo Yu tightly pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed firmly on the mass of crimson flame.
Although he had never seen what the Ten Thousand Beast Flame looked like, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, formed from the essence of the Vermilion Bird itself, could vaguely sense a familiar aura of shared origin from the crimson flame, akin to that of beast souls and beast blood.
It seemed that using the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to devour the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was indeed feasible!
After years of painstaking effort, this was the first time Mo Yu had seen such a close-up of an Heavenly Flame in the Dou Qi Continent.
Ranked alongside the Thunder Soul of his previous life's continent, the Heavenly Flames were extraordinary entities. Even though the Ten Thousand Beast Flame only ranked twenty-second on the Heavenly Flame list, its power was not to be underestimated.
Of course, if its ranking were any higher, Mo Yu wouldn't dare to attempt such a dangerous operation as having the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder devour the flame.
That beast bone furnace was clearly no ordinary item either. Each time the crimson flame tried to escape its confines, a faint white barrier would suddenly appear and bounce the Heavenly Flame back inside.
Seeing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. It seemed the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King had somehow found this furnace, perfectly suited for containing Heavenly Flames—a remarkable find.
Whatever he was thinking, a faint smile appeared on Mo Yu's lips.
Not only had he found the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, but the Void Ice Crystal and a furnace as a bonus—it was a major gain.
"Mo Yu, stop dawdling. Time is precious. Hurry up and collect the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and get out of here. Who knows what tricks the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King has up his sleeve? Once you take the flame, your whereabouts will likely be exposed," She Lao's voice reminded him in his mind.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression became serious as he realized the danger ahead.
The Ten Thousand Beast Flame was clearly something the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King intended to use for evolution, and once it was taken, the latter would undoubtedly sense it.
If the flame was discovered missing, even with the Elder Lion blocking him, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King would stop at nothing to rush here.
"Let's go all in…" Mo Yu thought to himself.
Even if his whereabouts would be exposed, he couldn't let the Ten Thousand Beast Flame slip away now that it was right in front of him.
Besides, with She Lao as his trump card, Mo Yu felt a growing sense of confidence.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated. His fingers quickly tapped on his storage ring, and immediately, a faint golden glow began to rise from it, eventually floating before Mo Yu.
Within that faint golden glow was a perfect Fire Binding Net that rotated slightly, emitting a faint energy.
Long ago, Mo Yu had begun gathering materials to craft the Fire Binding Net for this very moment!
Holding the Fire Binding Net in his hand, he gently tossed it toward the Heavenly Flame in mid-air. As the net reached below the flame, a faint golden light spread from it, silently enveloping the Ten Thousand Beast Flame within the beast furnace.
Although the Fire Binding Net was only a third-grade weapon, it was unrivaled in trapping flames, and the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, ranked toward the bottom of the Heavenly Flame list, wasn't overly powerful.
Surprisingly, to Mo Yu's delight, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame didn't show any signs of resistance when faced with the net.
This gave Mo Yu a hunch: perhaps the net had been imbued with a trace of the Vermilion Bird's aura during its crafting, which is why the Ten Thousand Beast Flame didn't reject it.
As the Fire Binding Net gradually shrank, the Heavenly Flame was quietly drawn into the net without any resistance, leaving the furnace empty.
"Success…"
The successful capture of the Heavenly Flame exceeded Mo Yu's expectations. Staring at the crimson flame now trapped within the Fire Binding Net, his face lit up with joy.
His eyes were fixed on the small crimson flame within the net, and a trace of excitement flashed across his deep, dark eyes.
"Now, let's leave this city as soon as possible and find a quiet place to have your Thunder Soul devour the flame!" She Lao reminded in a low voice.
"Mm!"
Nodding heavily, Mo Yu knew this place was rife with danger, and he couldn't stay for long.
Devouring the flame with the Thunder Soul required a safe location, so he hurriedly stored the captured Heavenly Flame, the beast furnace, and the heap of Void Ice Crystals into his beast ring.
Although the powerful Heavenly Flame could burn everything inside the ring, Mo Yu wasn't worried now that the Fire Binding Net was suppressing it.
After packing everything up, Mo Yu's body trembled slightly. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, launching himself into the sky before madly dashing out of the palace.
At the very moment when Mo Yu had stored the Ten Thousand Beast Flame in his beast ring, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, who was outside the palace battling Elder Lion, suddenly sensed something. His triangular eyes filled with shock and fury as he glared at the palace, letting out a hoarse, enraged cry.
"Who dares steal this king's Ten Thousand Beast Flame!?"

"Who stole my Ten Thousand Beast Flame!"
Sensing the sudden disappearance of the flame's energy, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King halted its attack on Elder Lion and let out an enraged roar that echoed throughout the surroundings.
Upon hearing the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's roar, both the high-ranking members of the Lizard Serpent Clan and the powerhouses of the Mu Lan Valley displayed surprise. Curiously, their gazes followed the Lizard King's eyes towards the palace behind him.
"The Ten Thousand Beast Flame?"
Those present were not unfamiliar with the name. After all, the Dou Qi Continent's list of the twenty-three different types of Heavenly Flames was well-known across the land. Although the Ten Thousand Beast Flame ranked near the bottom, any Heavenly Flame was a priceless treasure, coveted by countless powerful figures.
Even those who did not need the flame themselves could use it to earn a valuable favor from an alchemist, making the allure of such a flame nearly irresistible.
When the news of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame reached them, the members of Mu Lan Valley were first stunned, then their faces filled with greed. A Heavenly Flame was a rare treasure, often unseen by even the strongest fighters in their entire lives.
Elder Lion was also taken aback. His original intent was to find his grandson, but he hadn't anticipated the Lizard Serpent Clan harboring such a flame within their territory. As the thought of the flame's immense value dawned on him, a gleam of desire flickered in his eyes.
"Lizard King, you possess a Heavenly Flame?"
Elder Lion paused his attack, his tiger-like eyes blazing with intensity as he shouted at the Lizard King.
"Hmph! Stop pretending! You and Mu Lan Valley must have known about my flame, which is why you came to attack my territory. And now you dare to steal it!" The Lizard King's face darkened, his triangular eyes blazing with fury. The shamelessness of Mu Lan Valley was too much to bear!
First, they had fabricated an excuse about a missing grandson to invade his territory, and now, with the flame stolen, they still had the audacity to act innocent.
Humans, truly deceitful creatures!
Hearing the Lizard King's words, Elder Lion was momentarily stunned. His tiger-like eyes revealed confusion. When had he ever sent anyone to infiltrate the Lizard Serpent Clan's palace to steal a flame?
Moreover, the fact that the Lizard King possessed a Heavenly Flame was news to Mu Lan Valley!
As the Elder pondered, he began to sense that something was amiss. His grandson had mysteriously disappeared, and the Lizard King seemed unaware of the circumstances. It appeared that the Lizard King had been trying to prevent access to the palace, not because he was hiding the young Beast King, but rather because he was guarding the flame.
Now that the flame had been stolen, and with neither Mu Lan Valley nor the Lizard Serpent Clan responsible for it, it could only mean that a third party was involved!
Realizing this, Elder Lion's eyes filled with anger. If a third party was indeed involved, then the disappearance of the young Beast King, the theft of the flame, and the ensuing battle between Mu Lan Valley and the Lizard Serpent Clan were all part of a larger plot.
In other words, Mu Lan Valley had been played!
Mu Lan Valley, the foremost power in the Mu Lan Empire and famous throughout the entire Northwest Continent, was being manipulated by some unknown figure. How could this not infuriate Elder Lion?
"Lizard King, whether you believe me or not, I must tell you that the disappearance of your flame has nothing to do with Mu Lan Valley. My purpose here was simply to retrieve my grandson, who was captured by your people.
"Now it seems that someone has bribed members of your clan to abduct my grandson and frame you, with the goal of igniting this conflict between us. Clearly, they've succeeded, and the flame is now in their hands!"
Elder Lion's sharp mind had pieced together many things. The most urgent matter now was to end the battle between Mu Lan Valley and the Lizard Serpent Clan and prevent the mastermind from slipping away.
Anyone who dared to toy with Mu Lan Valley would face a heavy price!
Hearing the Elder's words, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King was stunned. Its massive tail lashed out, distorting the air around it as its cold, triangular eyes gradually cooled. Reason began to return as it pondered the situation. The Lizard King began to harbor doubts.
Initially, the Lizard King had assumed Mu Lan Valley was attacking to seize the flame, and the grandson search was merely a cover. However, based on Elder Lion's words, someone might indeed be stirring up conflict between them to steal the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.
If this was truly the work of Mu Lan Valley, they would have withdrawn the moment the flame was stolen, yet here the Elder stood, explaining himself instead of retreating.
A trace of hesitation flickered through the Lizard King's mind. Despite its skepticism towards humans, the Lizard King was not foolish. It quickly recognized the peculiarities in the situation.
"Elder Lion, you claim you're only here to retrieve your grandson?" the Lizard King asked cautiously, half-believing the explanation.
Humans had always been untrustworthy to the Lizard King, and it didn't want to fall for any tricks.
Upon hearing the question, Elder Lion frowned. Had the Lizard King not been so powerful, he wouldn't have bothered explaining so much.
"This is Master Mu's Thousand Mile Trace. With it, I was able to locate my grandson's position."
As he spoke, the Elder retrieved a bronze compass from his storage ring. The compass emitted a strange energy, and its black iron pointer—resembling a spoon—was pointing directly toward the Lizard Serpent Clan's palace.
Seeing this, a shadow passed over the Lizard King's face.
The Lizard King was familiar with the reputation of Master Mu, a renowned figure in the Mu Lan Empire. If the Elder Lion was truly using the Thousand Mile Trace, it suggested there had indeed been a misunderstanding.
The Lizard King now realized that there was a hidden hand behind these events, manipulating both sides. It was infuriating to think that not only had it and Mu Lan Valley been played, but the Ten Thousand Beast Flame had also been stolen. The Lizard King let out a furious roar to the sky.
"Everyone, return to the palace immediately! Capture the intruder who dared enter my palace!"
With its massive head looming toward the palace, the Lizard King's blood-red eyes glinted with killing intent. Its terrifying roar sent the forest into a frenzy as Lizard Serpent Clan members frantically began rushing back toward the palace.
Upon hearing their king's orders, several fifth-tier serpents abandoned their fights with the Mu Lan Valley powerhouses and dashed toward the palace with their clan in tow.
Seeing this, the experts from Mu Lan Valley exchanged uncertain glances before all eyes turned to Elder Lion floating in mid-air.
"Senior Lion, it's clear that someone is trying to sow discord between us. Our fight can end now. I will personally have my subordinates search for your grandson, but as for the mastermind behind this, I must be the one to uncover them!"
The Black Lizard Demon Serpent King suppressed the fury in his heart, glancing toward the distant palace. His triangular eyes flashed with an indecipherable emotion before his voice turned cold and sinister.
"The search for the mastermind cannot be interfered with by anyone from Mu Lan Valley. Otherwise, the matter of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame's ownership will become... complicated."
"No need for you to worry, Lizard King. I will search for my grandson myself!"
As a cunning old fox like Elder Lion, how could he not see through the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's intentions? Now that they were here, not only would he find his grandson, but he would also unearth the person who had toyed with Mu Lan Valley from behind the scenes and, at the same time, seize the Ten Thousand Beast Flame!
That would be in line with Mu Lan Valley's domineering style!
After speaking, Elder Lion looked off into the distance, his tiger-like eyes flashing with the vicious and playful expression of a predator toying with its prey.
After sending a voice transmission to the yellow-robed middle-aged man below, he immediately stepped into the air, flying rapidly toward the distance.
Watching Elder Lion depart, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's face darkened. At this point, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame had indeed attracted a hungry wolf.
With a silent curse, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King did not linger any longer. His massive tail lashed out, kicking up a fierce wind as he vanished from view.
The Mu Lan Valley powerhouses below were left dumbfounded, watching as two forces that had been battling to the death just moments ago suddenly dispersed as if nothing had happened.
Upon hearing the elder's voice transmission, the yellow-robed middle-aged man was briefly stunned before understanding dawned. With a face filled with rage, he spat, "Who is the scoundrel that dared to kidnap my grandson and provoke us? If I catch them, I will tear them limb from limb!"
After cursing, the yellow-robed man waved his hand, signaling the Mu Lan Valley experts to follow him swiftly.
Meanwhile, in the clear blue sky, a figure suddenly shot across, the wind pressure from their passage leaving a shallow mark on the ground below.
Upon hearing the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's furious roar, Mo Yu knew that he had likely been exposed.
Once the two factions cleared up the misunderstanding, he would undoubtedly become their target.
The thought of both forces hunting him made Mo Yu shiver—he had stirred up a hornet's nest.
As he continued his frantic escape, Mo Yu's tense expression suddenly shifted. Turning his head slightly, he saw two small black dots growing larger on the horizon.
"So fast!"
Seeing how quickly the two Dou Huang experts were catching up, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear. After all, they were Dou Huang experts—if he faced them head-on, they could probably slap him to death with a single blow.
"You little thief! You dare to steal this king's Ten Thousand Beast Flame?! I will tear you to shreds!" The voice, filled with rage, thundered through the mountain range, echoing endlessly.
"Black Lizard Demon Serpent King... as expected." Mo Yu's face darkened, and he glanced over his shoulder, the sense of danger in his heart growing.
"Someone in the Mu Lan Empire dares to scheme against Mu Lan Valley? I will personally send you to the afterlife!" After the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King spoke, Elder Lion's voice, equally venomous, followed, his words wrapped in Dou Qi and carrying directly into Mo Yu's ears.
The two dark figures were closing in at a terrifying speed.
"Kid, I'll take over from here and help you escape. There are too many of them; we can't let them hold us up. Otherwise, not even I can guarantee we'll get away unscathed!"
At this moment, She Lao's voice echoed in Mo Yu's mind, carrying a rare note of seriousness. The combined strength of two high-level Dou Huang experts was not something to be taken lightly, even by him.
"Alright, I'm counting on you!" Mo Yu nodded heavily, a bitter smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I've been wanting to settle the score with that wretched lizard snake for a long time. Now that you've stolen the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, it's the perfect chance for revenge!"
With those words, She Lao fell silent, and in the next moment, a fierce and overwhelming soul force erupted from within Mo Yu's body, instantly taking control of him.
As She Lao's soul force surged, Mo Yu's body trembled slightly. The Purple Cloud Wings on his back shimmered with a faint purple cloud pattern, now tinged with a hint of gold.
The purple-gold cloud patterns floated gently, moving as if alive, exuding an aura of mystery and wonder.
Clearly, under She Lao's control, the Purple Cloud Wings had been upgraded to a more powerful form—the Purple-Gold Cloud Wings—due to his bloodline enhancements.
"Heh, kid, you've got some interesting tricks up your sleeve. A flying Dou Technique? Not bad, not bad..."
A cold, raspy voice came from Mo Yu's mouth, followed by a few murmured praises. Glancing at the figures swiftly approaching from behind, the youth's tongue flicked out, revealing a sinister grin.
With the appearance of the purple-gold cloud patterns, Mo Yu's flight speed instantly tripled.
As his figure shot through the air, sonic booms echoed, demonstrating the terrifying speed he had now achieved.
With Mo Yu's sudden burst of speed, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King and the others, who had been closing in, found themselves falling behind once again.
"Could this thief also be a Dou Huang?"
Seeing the speed and the faintly familiar aura emanating from the youth, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's expression briefly faltered before it was replaced with killing intent. He coldly muttered, "No matter who you are, if you've stolen my flame, you will die!"
With that, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's body erupted in a surge of black energy mist. Simultaneously, an overwhelming aura burst forth from within him, increasing his flight speed by a third.
Seeing this, Elder Lion beside him frowned. As one of the rulers of the Mu Lan Empire, he was intimately familiar with the strong cultivators within the empire, yet he had never encountered such a peculiar Dou Huang expert before.
"Could they be from another empire?" This thought caused the elder's expression to darken as he silently cursed.
"Daring to use Mu Lan Valley as a pawn... No matter who you are, you're dead!"

**
In the midst of the mountain range, sharp sonic booms echoed through the sky. The moment the sound exploded, a shadow flashed into view, pausing briefly before reappearing hundreds of meters away.
Just as this shadow vanished, two more figures followed closely behind.
One of them was massive, resembling a flagship warship soaring through the sky, charging forward with an unstoppable momentum. The other radiated a powerful pale green Dou Qi, darting through the air with a speed that matched the shadow ahead.
As they continued their chase, Mo Yu's figure shrank into a distant black dot in their sights.
Casually glancing ahead at the figure flying with purple-golden wings, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King flicked its blood-red tongue and thought darkly, "This aura feels so familiar, like I've encountered it before."
Nearby, Elder Lion muttered, "His speed is truly strange. As he flies, his Dou Qi doesn't leak out at all—such perfect control is extremely rare."
"How could I have never heard of such a powerful individual in the Mu Lan Empire? This kind of speed would put even some Dou Huang experts to shame." Elder Lion's frown deepened, reflecting his growing doubt.
"This can't go on any longer. If he escapes, it'll be troublesome, especially with that lizard, the Lizard King, in pursuit..."
Casting a glance at the persistent Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, Elder Lion steeled himself. For someone who dared to mock Mu Lan Valley, leniency was not an option.
Fixing his gaze on Mo Yu, he muttered coldly, "Five hundred meters is within my attack range. Just a bit closer… accelerate."
With those words, the green Dou Qi within Elder Lion surged violently. The next moment, his body twisted strangely mid-air, leaving an afterimage behind as he disappeared, reappearing a hundred meters further ahead.
"Mu Lan Valley, don't even think of stealing my Ten Thousand Beast Flame!"
Seeing the sudden burst of speed from Elder Lion, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King hesitated for a moment, but a wave of anger soon overwhelmed it.
Originally, it had obtained the Heavenly Flame first, but now it was being targeted repeatedly—first by that despicable thief, then by the bandit beside it. The frustration almost made it want to spit blood.
Flicking its crimson tongue, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's eyes grew more sinister. Simultaneously, the black mist around its body intensified, transforming into a pair of dark energy wings.
With the wings' support, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King now resembled a soaring dragon, exuding an imposing aura as its speed dramatically increased, keeping pace with Elder Lion ahead.
"Not good..." Sensing the strange wind whistling in his ears, Mo Yu glanced behind and saw the two Dou Huang catching up. His expression grew grim.
A peak Dou Huang and a top-tier six-star magical beast—this was a serious threat.
"If I were in my prime, these pests wouldn't stand a chance," She Lao muttered darkly, a trace of malevolence flashing in his eyes.
Mo Yu's mind raced, knowing that even She Lao, once a Dou Zun, couldn't handle two such powerful foes at once.
"Watch out!"
"Lion King Fist!"
Just as Mo Yu was contemplating his escape, a lion-like roar filled with killing intent echoed, followed by She Lao's urgent warning.
As their voices fell, the space before Mo Yu distorted, and a fist materialized, fully condensed from Dou Qi.
The fist, filled with raging Dou Qi, resembled the head of a mighty lion. Its terrifying force suggested that anyone hit by it would be reduced to pulp, with no hope of survival.
Staring at the rapidly approaching Lion King Fist, Mo Yu's pupils shrank to pinpoints. Even though he instinctively tried to slow down, his body continued hurtling towards the fist.
"Damn it!"
Fear gripped Mo Yu, draining the color from his face. Just as he was about to collide with the fist, purple-golden light suddenly surged from his body.
His body came to a jarring halt in mid-air, as if nailed there, completely motionless.
Suspended in the air, cold sweat trickled down Mo Yu's forehead.
Just centimeters away, the enormous Lion King Fist roared like a lion king, emitting violent noises that reverberated in the air—utterly menacing.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu's voice, tinged with frustration, escaped him, "Damn, this is ruthless."
"Hand over the Heavenly Flame. I don't know who you are, but to dare trifle with Mu Lan Valley is not a wise choice. You will pay with your life!"
A cold voice dripping with murderous intent echoed from behind as Elder Lion emerged into Mo Yu's line of sight.
"Sigh, She Lao, it seems we have no choice but to fight to the death now," Mo Yu muttered, a trace of resignation in his voice.
The escape plan had failed. Now, only a brutal battle lay ahead.
"Do your best. Like I said before, I can protect your life against a single Dou Huang, but let's not forget that damn lizard," She Lao's raspy, sinister tone carried a rare hint of seriousness.
Just as he finished speaking, a furious roar echoed through the mountains.
"You wretched thief, how dare you frame the Lizard Serpent Clan and steal my Ten Thousand Beast Flame! Once you're in my hands, I'll tear you to pieces!"
Hearing this enraged roar, Mo Yu's expression darkened, "The Black Lizard Demon Serpent King has arrived too. This isn't looking good."
Though She Lao had once been a Dou Zun, his soul power had only partially recovered. Even facing one Dou Huang would be difficult, let alone two peak-level Dou Huang enemies.
But it was too late to worry now; they had to face the challenge ahead.
Halting his steps, Mo Yu slowly turned around, finally confronting one of the Three Elders of Mu Lan, Elder Lion, as well as the infamous six-star magical beast, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King.
As Mo Yu turned, Elder Lion and the Lizard King got their first real look at the figure behind the strife between their two mighty forces.
Yet, when they saw Mo Yu's face, they froze in surprise, then exclaimed, "You... you're just a boy!?"
Seeing Mo Yu's youthful and slightly tender features, both Elder Lion and the Lizard King were stunned, their eyes reflecting profound shock.
Who could have imagined that the mastermind behind the clash between Mu Lan Valley and the Lizard Serpent Clan was a boy who didn't even look twenty?
"Kid, I can sense the Heavenly Flame on you. Tell me, who's pulling the strings behind this?"
The Black Lizard Demon Serpent King hissed, its crimson tongue flicking as its cold gaze fixed on Mo Yu. It couldn't believe that this was all the work of a human teenager—there had to be others involved.
Elder Lion interjected with a harsh voice, "This brat dared to kidnap my grandson and provoke Mu Lan Valley. Whether he's acting alone or not, I'll be taking him back."
Before he even finished speaking, the Lizard King snorted in displeasure, "Elder Lion, he may be yours, but the Ten Thousand Beast Flame is mine."
Clearly frustrated by Elder Lion's interference, the Lizard King was unwilling to back down. If Mo Yu weren't the common target, these two might have already begun their own battle.
Seeing the tension between the two about to escalate, Mo Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he shifted his steps, attempting to slip away during this opportunity.
Noticing Mo Yu's cautious intent, Elder Lion let out a cold snort. "Lizard King, we can discuss the ownership of the Ten Thousand Beasts Flame later. Let's first capture this boy before he slips away."
Hearing this, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King cast a chilling gaze towards Mo Yu, a cold gleam flashing through its triangular eyes. This boy had disrupted its evolution plan, causing unexpected changes. No matter what, he couldn't be allowed to live.
Moreover, who knew if the boy had hidden allies? Now was not the time for internal strife.
"Alright, as Elder Lion says," the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King agreed with a nod.
Seeing the two Dou Huang powerhouses reach an agreement, Mo Yu felt a sinking sensation in his heart and smiled bitterly. "She Lao, if you can fight, then fight. If not, run on your own. If you get the chance, remember to avenge me."
Having lived through three lifetimes, Mo Yu had long come to terms with life and death. Despite the intense unwillingness in his heart, he faced the combined might of two peak Dou Huang without fear or despair, nor did he bow to his enemies.
Everyone must face death at some point. Perhaps, his journey across the continent would end here.
Hearing Mo Yu's calm words, She Lao was taken aback. Even he, faced with the brink of death, would feel fear. Yet, he couldn't be as calm as this boy.
Mo Yu was truly different from others…
"Heh, boy, this lord still needs you to help me regain my physical body. You can't just die here," She Lao's raspy voice suddenly echoed.
Unconsciously, She Lao had developed a different kind of sentiment toward the boy. Although they were from different races, their shared hardships had forged a bond of camaraderie.
Moreover, as a proud Dou Zun who once had the chance to become the king of the snake people, She Lao had his pride. How could he abandon the boy and flee in panic?
Hearing this, Mo Yu was also startled. He and She Lao did not share the deep bond that Xiao Yan had with Yao Lao, yet he never expected She Lao to stick with him in a critical moment. Mo Yu felt a warmth rise in his heart.
"Don't worry, She Lao. If I survive this, I'll definitely help you restore your body," Mo Yu promised resolutely.
She Lao chuckled at Mo Yu's promise and then turned to face the two powerful opponents, his expression growing grim.
It seemed a fierce battle was inevitable…
Elder Lion and the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King also turned their attention to Mo Yu, their auras surging, ready to capture him.
Just as She Lao was about to take control of Mo Yu's body and engage in a battle with Elder Lion and the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, a clear and ethereal voice suddenly echoed through the mountains.
"Young Master, Qing Lin is here."
Hearing this familiar voice, Mo Yu was stunned, then thought with alarm, "This is bad, Qing Lin, why did she come here? It's too dangerous..."
As Mo Yu pondered, his powerful soul suddenly sensed something amiss—beside Qing Lin, there was a presence no less powerful than the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King.
"This is…"
Sensing this energy, Mo Yu paused in surprise. How could someone so strong be accompanying Qing Lin? Could it be…
As a possibility crossed his mind, a hint of joy emerged in Mo Yu's heart, and he quickly looked in the direction of the voice.
Elder Lion and the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King also heard the voice. When they sensed the approaching power, they exchanged wary glances, their expressions turning serious. They quickly halted their attack and looked toward the direction of the voice along with Mo Yu.
The unexpected interruption caused the impending battle to pause momentarily. Under everyone's gaze, a green figure moved with terrifying speed, quickly appearing within their view.
When the green figure stopped before them, they finally saw the newcomer's face.
It was a woman dressed in green robes.
Mo Yu's gaze locked onto this green-robed woman. Although her face was hidden behind a green veil, her graceful and alluring figure left little doubt that she must have a striking appearance.
This mysterious woman in green held a young girl in her arms—none other than Mo Yu's little maid, Qing Lin.
"Boy, your luck is quite good. She's from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, a hidden and powerful sect in the northwest continent. Even I wouldn't have provoked them lightly during my wanderings back then," She Lao's voice resounded in Mo Yu's mind. "It looks like they've taken an interest in your little maid. This might give you a powerful ally."
Hearing this, Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the green-robed woman, he had already guessed most of the situation, and it seemed She Lao's assessment wasn't far off.
Moreover, Mo Yu recognized the green-robed woman—she was the Dou Huang powerhouse Lü Man, an elder from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, who in the original story had taken Qing Lin from Xiao Yan's hands.
Qing Lin quickly leaped down from the green-robed woman's arms, running over to Mo Yu with a bright smile. "Young Master, are you alright? Qing Lin has been so worried about you!"
"And look, Qing Lin found a very powerful helper for you! Sister Lü Man has agreed to help you, so now I can finally do something for you, Young Master."
Warmth flowed through Mo Yu's heart as he patted the little girl's head gently and chuckled. "Yes, Qing Lin is the best."
Qing Lin beamed with joy at Mo Yu's praise, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower, making her all the more endearing.
Meanwhile, the green-robed woman slowly approached, her gaze fixed on Mo Yu. A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes before she smiled faintly.
"So, you are the young master that Qing Lin spoke of. Daring to provoke two peak Dou Huang-level experts at the same time… you are indeed quite extraordinary."
