"Beast! How dare you!"
An angry voice resounded through the small town, like a clap of thunder on a clear day, making people tremble with fear.
As the voice faded, a tall, middle-aged man with a date-red face appeared.
The middle-aged man wore a dark robe, adorned with a silver Lion King emblem roaring towards the sky.
The silver emblem indicated that this person was a second-class guard of the Huang Family, one of the Mu Lan Empire's three great families.
As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, his Aura as a high-level Dou Ling was unleashed without reservation, causing everyone present to show signs of panic.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly concealed the sharp glint in his eyes, feigning shock and panic.
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at the mess on the ground and the Little Beast King who had been suddenly snatched away, his expression extremely gloomy and furious.
As a second-class guard of the Huang Family, his most important task was to protect the Little Beast King's safety. Yet, the Little Beast King was abducted by a fourth-tier Demonic Beast right under his nose, which was a blatant insult to him.
Moreover, the Little Beast King was not only the Young Lord of the Family but also the next heir of Mulan Valley, highly valued by the Three Elders of Mu Lan Lion Old, possessing an extremely noble status.
The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat as he thought of the severe consequences of the Little Beast King's disappearance and the punishment he would face upon returning to the Family.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man looked in the direction where the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast had fled, a deep chill in his eyes.
Regardless of whether this incident was caused by the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast or if the mastermind was the Black Lizard Demon Snake King behind it, to provoke the Huang Family and Mulan Valley was simply courting death!
Just as the middle-aged man was about to pursue the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast, his expression suddenly shifted, and his hawk-like eyes suddenly turned towards Mo Yu in the corner.
The appearance of the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast was too unexpected, even for him, a high-level Dou Ling, finding it overly abrupt and strange.
At that time, the Little Beast King and Mo Yu were about to engage in battle. If nothing unexpected happened, this talented young man would have fallen into the hands of his Young Lord in the next moment.
However, at this very moment, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast suddenly burst in, and its target was the Little Beast King, whom no one in the Mu Lan Empire dared to provoke. This led people to speculate that this matter might be related to this harmless-looking young man.
However, when he noticed the young man's panicked expression, seemingly due to the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's appearance, the middle-aged man frowned.
Could this be a pure coincidence?
After all, how could a mere Dou Shi youth command a fourth-tier Demonic Beast to abduct the Little Beast King?
What's more, this fourth-tier Demonic Beast was not an ordinary Demonic Beast, but a powerful Demonic Beast from the Lizard Snake Clan, controlled by the sixth-tier Demonic Beast Black Lizard Demon Snake King.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man dismissed this speculation from his mind.
This was because, deep down, he was unwilling to believe that a young man could possess such means and intellect; it was simply too incredible.
Withdrawing his aggressive gaze, the middle-aged man no longer paid attention to the young man. After all, the most important task at hand was to retrieve the Young Lord from the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast.
If the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast did not know what was good for it, then the Huang Family and Mulan Valley would make the Lizard Snake Clan pay a heavy price!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's Dou Qi surged again. A powerful energy ball condensed beneath his feet, and using the force of the energy ball, he lunged forward, quickly pursuing the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast in the direction it had left.
As these two powerful Auras gradually departed, the atmosphere in the arena gradually shifted from tense to relaxed.
No one expected that a small town next to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range would suddenly see a fourth-tier Demonic Beast and a Dou Ling expert appear; it was simply outrageous.
Furthermore, the Little Beast King being captured by the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast was also unexpected. Although the Lizard Snake Clan was powerful, provoking the Huang Family and Mulan Valley was indeed quite reckless.
It was unclear whether this incident was orchestrated by the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, which led to many people's conjectures.
The Lizard Snake Clan and Mulan Valley, this was a clash between two major forces in the Mu Lan Empire, causing many people to let their imaginations run wild...
After this incident, Mo Yu's feat of killing Huang Lie became less noticeable.
And the Crazy Lion Mercenary Group, intimidated by Mo Yu's formidable strength, chose not to trouble the young man. For a time, the young man was left undisturbed.
At this moment, the young man watched the middle-aged man gradually disappear from his sight. The panic on his face slowly vanished, and a curve gradually formed at the corner of his mouth...
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Mo Yu quietly blended into the crowd and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Kid, you're trying to frame someone and shift the blame to the east. You're really something. I didn't expect you to be so devious..."
Just as Mo Yu disappeared from sight around a corner, a cold, hoarse voice suddenly echoed in the young man's mind.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's lips curved slightly, and he smiled without speaking.
It was indeed Mo Yu's idea to secretly transmit a message to Qing Lin and have the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast abduct the Little Beast King.
The purpose was exactly as Snake Uncle had said: to frame someone and shift the blame to the east!
After learning that the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire had been taken by the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, Mo Yu began to think about how to reclaim it from this sixth-tier Demonic Beast.
However, even with Snake Uncle's help, dealing with a sixth-tier Demonic Beast was something that Snake Uncle, with his currently weakened Soul Power, could not achieve.
Moreover, the Lizard Snake Clan had countless other experts. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for Mo Yu to reclaim the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, with no hope at all.
Therefore, Mo Yu gradually leaned towards abandoning the idea of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire. After all, while higher risks bring greater rewards, there is a big difference between taking a gamble and committing suicide.
However, just as Mo Yu was about to give up, the appearance of the Little Beast King slowly formed a plan in Mo Yu's mind.
Since he couldn't deal with the Black Lizard Demon Snake King himself, it would be better to shift the blame to the east and let Mulan Valley be the blade.
It just so happened that the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast obeyed Qing Lin's commands, and no one else knew this besides Mo Yu. Therefore, having the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast, a powerful Demonic Beast of the Lizard Snake Clan, abduct the Little Beast King would inevitably lead people to associate it with the Black Lizard Demon Snake King.
Coupled with the Little Beast King's noble status, it would likely ignite a war between the two factions, allowing Mo Yu to fish in troubled waters.
However, the appearance of the Dou Ling expert was somewhat unexpected for Mo Yu. Fortunately, this place was the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Although the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast was no match for the middle-aged man, it still had some confidence in its ability to escape.
Once the middle-aged man could not find the Little Beast King, Mulan Valley would probably dispatch experts to the Lizard Snake Clan's territory.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mo Yu's face.
There is always a way out. He never expected such a turn of events just when he was about to give up on the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
Little Beast King, he truly was his lucky star!
As Mo Yu secretly rejoiced, Snake Uncle, who had been silently observing everything from the beast ring, showed a hint of inexplicable emotion in his sinister eyes.
The young man's various actions truly surprised him, a Dou Zun.
Not only could he defeat a Two-Star Great Dou Master as a Six-Star Dou Shi, but he also remained calm in the face of the Five-Star Great Dou Shi Little Beast King's ultimate move.
One must know that after the Little Beast King made his move, Snake Uncle had been waiting for Mo Yu's plea for help.
He didn't want his newly found partner to die just like that.
Although his Soul Power was weak at the moment, dealing with a Great Dou Master was more than enough, and Snake Uncle didn't believe Mo Yu could defeat the Five-Star Great Dou Shi Little Beast King.
After all, if a Six-Star Dou Shi defeating an ordinary Two-Star Great Dou Master was considered a Prodigy Genius, then defeating a Five-Star Great Dou Shi with equally strong foundations would be simply unbelievable.
However, to Snake Uncle's surprise, Mo Yu never asked for his help from beginning to end.
This indicated that either the young man was ruthless towards himself, sacrificing his own safety to resolutely execute the plan of shifting blame to the east, or he had some hidden means to defeat the Little Beast King.
Regardless of which it was, Snake Uncle felt that this child was certainly not an easy opponent.
What surprised him even more was Mo Yu's crazy idea of trying to stir up conflict between Mulan Valley and the Lizard Snake Clan to achieve his goal of benefiting from the struggle.
A mere Dou Shi causing a war between Dou Huang forces was unheard of on the entire Fighting Qi Continent.
For a moment, Snake Uncle's perception of the young man was once again refreshed.
Perhaps, this child could indeed bring him the hope of Rebirth.
While Snake Uncle secretly marveled, Mo Yu had already arrived at the inn where he had stayed a few days ago, silently waiting for something.
As dusk gradually fell, a cute and beautiful, slender little girl suddenly appeared at the inn.
Upon seeing this girl, many mercenaries immediately showed burning gazes, and some even couldn't restrain the fire in their hearts, wanting to grab the girl and toy with her.
However, when they saw a young man in green slowly walking towards the little girl, many people's expressions stiffened, and they awkwardly stopped in their tracks.
Some mercenaries who were unaware of the situation were also quickly grabbed by their companions, who whispered, "Are you looking to die? This is the ruthless character who killed the leader of the Crazy Lion Mercenary Group! If you want to court death, don't blame me for not stopping you!"
Hearing this, those mercenaries' expressions immediately changed. When they looked at the little girl again, their burning gazes were gone, their faces pale, as if they had narrowly escaped death.
Although the Little Beast King being captured by the Lizard Snake Clan became the top news in the town and even the entire Empire, the death of Huang Lie was equally shocking in this small town.
Now that Mo Yu was present, even the Crazy Lion Mercenary Group probably wouldn't dare to provoke him, let alone these scattered mercenaries.
Ignoring the mercenaries' thoughts, Mo Yu walked straight towards the little girl.
The little girl, who was Qing Lin, showed a sweet smile when she saw Mo Yu approaching, then nodded her delicate chin.
Seeing Qing Lin nod, Mo Yu's heart slightly relaxed. He then took Qing Lin's hand and slowly left the inn.
When they arrived at a secluded place, Mo Yu patted Qing Lin's little head and praised, "Little girl, well done!"
Hearing Mo Yu's praise, Qing Lin first giggled, then stammered, "Young Lord, I made Little Gui do everything according to your instructions, and I also knocked out that Little Beast King and hid him in a secret place in the Lizard Snake Clan's territory."
"However, on the way, Little Gui was hit by that big red-faced man and seems to have suffered a serious injury. He needs to rest for a few days."
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded.
The reason for hiding the Little Beast King in the Lizard Snake Clan's territory was that Mo Yu was worried that Mulan Valley might have a secret method to locate the Little Beast King. If he kept the Little Beast King with him, it would be bad if he didn't manage to shift the blame but instead brought trouble upon himself.
If he hid him in the Lizard Snake Clan's territory, and Mulan Valley sent people to search, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, who possessed the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, would certainly not allow it, and a great battle would be inevitable.
As for the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's injuries, Mo Yu was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect the middle-aged man to be so strong. However, fortunately, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's mission was completed, and it just needed to rest well now.
"Then let's find a safe place first. I have a few healing pills here. After Little Gui takes them, let him rest well for the next few days and don't come out," Mo Yu comforted.
He definitely couldn't stay in the town. If Mulan Valley suspected him, all his efforts would be in vain.
Now, he just needed to find a hidden place and quietly wait for the great battle between Mulan Valley and the Lizard Snake Clan.
"Okay, Young Lord." Qing Lin smiled and nodded. After contracting the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast, the little girl had developed a good bond with this fourth-tier Demonic Beast, and naturally wanted its injuries to recover quickly.
Mo Yu patted Qing Lin's little head, then picked up the little girl and searched for a suitable spot in this mountain range.
Half an hour later, deep in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range's back mountain, beneath a hidden cliff, Mo Yu sat cross-legged in the six to seven-meter long and narrow cave.
This cliff was a Cultivation place he had carefully chosen. Opposite the cliff, clouds and mist swirled, concealing the perilous Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range below.
Below the cliff was a bottomless abyss, and the only small path leading to this place had been covered by him with branches and gravel beforehand. Therefore, Mo Yu was confident that he would not be discovered for the next few days.
To Mo Yu's left lay a huge black lizard snake, which was the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast.
At this moment, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's Aura was extremely weak. Perhaps due to its severe injuries, it began to slowly fall asleep after taking Mo Yu's healing medicine.
Beside the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast lay a cute little girl, who was Qing Lin.
As night slowly fell, the little girl, tired from a day of activity, also began to lie on the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's body and slowly drifted into dreamland.
Watching this tranquil scene, a smile couldn't help but appear on Mo Yu's lips.
He only needed to stay in this cave for a few days to reap generous rewards.
However, before that, he couldn't waste these few days. Thinking of this, Mo Yu took out a dark red Demonic Core from his beast ring.
Seeing this Demonic Core, Mo Yu couldn't help but recall the graceful, noble, and serene figure in his mind.
And this Demonic Core was precisely the fifth-tier Demonic Core gifted by Yun Yun in the Magical Beast Mountain Range!
Mo Yu had just given the earth core soul fruit to Snake Uncle to help him recover a portion of his Soul Power, which meant Mo Yu's idea of breaking through to fourth-grade Soul Power had fallen through.
However, since Soul Power couldn't be broken through for now, he might as well Breakthrough in Dou Qi.
After so many days of tempering and the battle with Huang Lie, Mo Yu felt that the opportunity for Breakthrough had arrived.
Mo Yu's idea for a fifth-tier Demonic Core was to...
Breakthrough to Great Dou Master!
