"Who took my Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire?!"
Feeling the sudden disappearance of the different fire's Aura, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, who was fighting the Lion-headed Elder, suddenly stopped his attack, and an angry roar echoed around.
Hearing the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's roar, both the high-ranking members of the Lizard Snake Clan and the strong individuals from Mulan Valley first showed a hint of surprise on their faces, then curiously looked at the Lizard Serpent King, following his gaze towards the palace behind him.
"Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire?"
The name Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire was not unfamiliar to those present. After all, the twenty-three different fires on the Fighting Qi Continent's strange fire ranking list were known to everyone across the entire Continent.
Although the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire was one of the last-ranked different fires on the strange fire ranking list, a different fire was still a different fire. Its value drove countless strong individuals to madness.
Even those who didn't need a different fire could use it to gain a huge favor from an Alchemist, making different fires something countless strong individuals eagerly sought after.
So, after hearing the news of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, the Mulan Valley people were first stunned, then their faces showed a hint of greed.
A different fire, this was something countless strong individuals had never seen in their entire lives.
Even the Lion-headed Elder was stunned. He had originally come to find his grandson, never expecting to find news of a different fire in the Lizard Snake Clan's territory.
Thinking of the different fire's value, a hint of covetousness couldn't help but flash in the Lion-headed Elder's eyes.
"Lizard Serpent King, you actually have a different fire?"
The Lion-headed Elder also stopped his attack, looking at the Lizard Serpent King with fiery tiger eyes, and shouted sternly.
"Hmph, still pretending at a time like this? Didn't your Mulan Valley get information about my different fire, and then aggressively attack my territory? This different fire was most likely stolen by someone sent by your Mulan Valley!"
Seeing the Lion-headed Elder still 'pretending' to be unaware, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's expression immediately darkened, and intense anger flashed in his Triangle Eye. These Mulan Valley people were too shameless!
They had previously used the excuse of a lost grandson to inexplicably attack his territory, and now that the different fire had been stolen, they still acted so self-righteous and detached.
Humans, truly hypocritical!
Hearing the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's words, the Lion-headed Elder was stunned, and a hint of doubt flashed in his tiger eyes. When did he send someone to infiltrate the Lizard Snake Clan's palace and steal a different fire?
Moreover, his Mulan Valley had received no news whatsoever that the Black Lizard Demon Snake King possessed a different fire!
Thinking of this, the Lion-headed Elder suddenly sensed something was amiss.
His grandson was inexplicably captured by the Lizard Snake Clan, and the Black Lizard Demon Snake King seemed unaware of the inside story, and stopping him from entering the Lizard Serpent King's Hall was not out of fear of finding the Little Beast King, but out of fear of the different fire being exposed.
Now that the different fire had been stolen, it wasn't done by his Mulan Valley, nor could it be the Lizard Snake Clan stealing from themselves.
That meant there was a third party involved!
At this thought, a hint of annoyance couldn't help but flash in the Lion-headed Elder's eyes.
If a third party truly appeared, then the disappearance of the Little Beast King, the theft of the different fire, and the war between Mulan Valley and the Lizard Snake Clan were probably all related to this.
This indicated that his Mulan Valley had been played!
As the number one force in the Mu Lan Empire, Mulan Valley was renowned throughout the Empire and even the Northwest Continent. Now, to be toyed with by an unknown individual, how could the Lion-headed Elder not feel enraged?
"Lizard Serpent King, whether you believe it or not, I must tell you that the disappearance of the different fire in your palace has absolutely nothing to do with my Mulan Valley. I came here specifically to find my grandson who was captured by your Lizard Snake Clan.
Now it seems that someone deliberately bribed your Lizard Snake Clan members, then captured my grandson, framing you, with the goal of inciting a great war between our two sides, so they could reap the benefits!
Clearly, the other party's goal has been achieved, and the different fire has most likely fallen into their hands!"
At this moment, the Lion-headed Elder understood many things. The most crucial thing now, of course, was to end the war with the Lizard Snake Clan and not let the mastermind get away unpunished and escape successfully.
Those who scheme against his Mulan Valley must pay a heavy price!
Hearing the Lion-headed Elder's words, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King was stunned. As his massive snake tail swung, it caused ripples of distortion in the Void Realm. The anger in his cold eyes gradually subsided, and after reason returned, recalling the suspicious points, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King also became somewhat skeptical.
He had initially thought that the Mulan Valley people's aggressive demeanor was solely to seize his different fire, and that finding the grandson was merely an excuse.
However, according to the Lion-headed Elder, someone was instigating discord between them, deliberately causing their two families to fight, so that they could steal the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire during the chaos.
If this were truly Mulan Valley's doing, since they had already stolen the different fire, they would likely not say much more and simply retreat.
However, the Lion-headed Elder did not lead his people to retreat, but instead spoke these words.
A hint of doubt flashed in his Triangle Eye. As a sixth-order Demonic Beast, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's intelligence was not much lower than that of humans. Moreover, as the king of the Lizard Snake Clan, he naturally quickly discovered the anomaly.
"Elder Shi, you said your trip was indeed to find your grandson?" Although the Black Lizard Demon Snake King was somewhat skeptical, he still asked tentatively.
Who knew if this was a trick the other party came up with to escape? The Black Lizard Demon Snake King had never placed trust in humans.
Hearing this, the Lion-headed Elder frowned. If the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's strength wasn't also formidable, he wouldn't bother explaining so much.
"This is Great Master Mu's Thousand-Mile Tracker. It is thanks to it that I can determine my grandson's location."
With that, the Lion-headed Elder swiped his storage ring, and a bronze compass appeared in his hand. The bronze compass emitted a strange Aura, and on the compass, a black iron pointer, similar to a spoon, was pointing towards the Lizard Snake Clan's palace.
Upon seeing this, a hint of gloom immediately flashed in the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's Triangle Eye.
As a sixth-order Demonic Beast, he had also heard of Great Master Mu of the Mu Lan Empire. If Mulan Valley truly tracked him to his Lizard Snake Clan using the Thousand-Mile Tracker, then there was indeed a misunderstanding!
Everything behind this clearly involved a mastermind pushing things from the shadows. Although he also doubted how his own clansmen could be bribed, from all the suspicious points, it was indeed happening.
Thinking that this person not only made him and Mulan Valley run in circles, but also stole his Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King couldn't help but let out a furious roar towards the sky.
"Listen to my command! Everyone return to the palace and capture all those who trespassed into the King's Hall!"
His massive head looked towards the palace not far away. The Black Lizard Demon Snake King stared with blood-red giant pupils, his ferocious roar, filled with killing intent, caused the lizards in the forest to frantically scurry around.
Hearing the command issued by their Great King, those several fifth-order lizards seemed to understand something. They quickly abandoned their entanglement with the Mulan Valley's strong individuals and, leading their clansmen, rushed towards the palace.
Seeing this scene, the Mulan Valley's strong individuals also looked at each other, and finally, all looked towards the Lion-headed Elder in mid-air.
"Elder Shi, this matter is clearly someone secretly instigating discord, so the war between you and me can end. I can dispatch my subordinates to find your grandson, but I need to find this mastermind myself!"
The Black Lizard Demon Snake King slowly suppressed the anger in his heart, looking at the palace not far away, a hint of an unknown emotion flashed in his Triangle Eye, then his voice became gloomy and cold.
The matter of capturing the mastermind absolutely could not involve Mulan Valley's people. Otherwise, the ownership of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire would be hard to determine.
"No need for the Lizard Serpent King to worry, I will find my grandson myself!"
Someone as shrewd as the Lion-headed Elder, how could he not see through the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's thoughts? Since he had already come, not only would he find his grandson, but he would also expose the person who had played his Mulan Valley, and, while he was at it, seize the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire!
This was in line with Mulan Valley's domineering style!
With that, the Lion-headed Elder looked into the distance, a cunning and ruthless look, like a cat toying with a mouse, flashing in his tiger eyes.
After transmitting a message to the Yellow-robed Middle-aged Man below, he then stepped into the Void Realm and quickly flew into the distance.
Watching the Lion-headed Elder leave, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's expression immediately darkened. As things stood, the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire had finally attracted hungry wolves.
Cursing silently, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King did not linger either. With a swing of his massive snake tail, a hurricane rose, and then he disappeared from people's sight.
Seeing the disappearance of the two great powers, the Mulan Valley's strong individuals below were immediately bewildered. How could the two forces, who were just fighting to the death, disperse like that?
And upon hearing Elder Shi's transmission, the Yellow-robed Middle-aged Man's expression first froze, then showed a hint of understanding, and finally, he said with hatred.
"Which scoundrel dared to kidnap Xuan'er to sow discord? If I catch this person, I will tear him into five pieces!"
After cursing, the Yellow-robed Middle-aged Man waved his hand, signaling the Mulan Valley's strong individuals to quickly follow...
On the other side, above the azure sky, a figure suddenly streaked by at a furious speed. The immense wind pressure directly pressed a shallow mark on the ground.
Upon hearing the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's furious roar, Mo Yu knew that he had most likely been exposed.
Once the two major forces resolved their misunderstanding, he would definitely become the target of all.
The thought of the two major forces chasing him simultaneously sent a shiver down Mo Yu's spine. He had stirred up a hornet's nest.
After another frantic dash, Mo Yu's tense expression suddenly changed. He slightly turned his head and saw two small black dots at the end of his vision, gradually growing larger.
"So fast!"
Looking at the two Dou Emperor strong individuals who had caught up so quickly, Mo Yu's heart was slightly alarmed. Those were two Dou Emperor strong individuals; if they clashed head-on, a single palm strike could probably kill him.
"Little thief, how dare you steal my different fire! I will tear you to shreds!" The roar, burning with anger, echoed like a thunderclap across the mountain range, lingering endlessly.
"Black Lizard Demon Snake King, it really is him…" Mo Yu's expression darkened, and he glanced back with the corner of his eye, feeling an intense sense of crisis.
"In the Mu Lan Empire, someone dares to scheme against my Mulan Valley. I will personally send you to Hell." After the Black Lizard Demon Snake King finished speaking, the Lion-headed Elder's low, sinister voice, wrapped in Qi, continuously entered Mo Yu's ears.
Immediately, two black figures were rapidly approaching Mo Yu at an extremely terrifying speed.
"Kid, I'll support you in escaping the rest of the way. The other party has many people and strong individuals; we absolutely cannot be delayed by them. Otherwise, even I won't be able to get you away safely!"
At this moment, Snake Uncle's voice suddenly rang in Mo Yu's mind, and his words carried a hint of solemnity. The lineup of two high-level Dou Emperors was not to be underestimated, even by him.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Mo Yu nodded heavily, a wry smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I've disliked that mongrel lizard for a long time. Now that you've snatched the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, it's a good way to get revenge for my imprisonment!"
With that, Snake Uncle gradually fell silent. A moment later, an incomparably fierce Soul Power surged out from within Mo Yu's body. In just the blink of an eye, it took over control of his body.
As Snake Uncle's Soul Power surged out, Mo Yu's body trembled slightly. On the Purple Cloud Wings behind him, faint purple cloud patterns now had a hint of gold.
The purple-gold cloud patterns slowly emerged, gently moving as if alive, extremely profound and miraculous.
Clearly, after Snake Uncle took control of his body, the Purple Cloud Wings, due to his Bloodline modification, had upgraded to the even stronger Purple-Gold Cloud Wings.
"Heh, your peculiar methods are truly many, flying Dou Technique, not bad, not bad…"
A cold, hoarse voice suddenly came from Mo Yu's mouth. After a brief sigh, he looked at the figures rapidly approaching from behind, and the young man's tongue slightly licked his lips, revealing a sinister smile.
After the purple-gold cloud patterns appeared on the Purple-Gold Cloud Wings, Mo Yu's flying speed almost instantly increased by nearly three times.
His frantically soaring figure, as it cut through the air, even caused some sonic booms, showing how terrifying Mo Yu's speed was at that moment.
As Mo Yu's speed surged, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King and others, who had been gradually closing in on him, immediately found the distance between them widening again.
"Could this thief also be a Dou Emperor?"
Seeing such a fast speed and the somewhat familiar Aura on the young man, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's expression first froze, then a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "No matter who you are, if you stole my different fire, you will die!"
As his voice fell, the black energy mist around the Black Lizard Demon Snake King surged again. At the same time, a powerful Aura erupted from his body, and his flying speed also increased by a third.
Seeing this, the Lion-headed Elder beside him frowned slightly. As the ruler of the Mu Lan Empire, he knew the strong individuals within the Empire like the back of his hand, but he had never encountered such a strange Dou Emperor strong individual.
"Could it be a strong individual from another Empire?" Thinking of this, the Lion-headed Elder's expression slightly darkened, and then he cursed inwardly.
"Daring to use Mulan Valley as a pawn, no matter what, you are dead!"
