Old Ancestor Mieyan, defeated!
Amethyst light filled the sky, and thunderous explosions echoed above the fortress.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the young man in the sky, their hearts filled with immense shock. At this moment, they truly realized what powerful confidence this seemingly less than twenty-year-old youth possessed to dare provoke Mulan Valley in such a manner.
Although Mo Yu's exact strength was unclear, to be able to defeat a Dou Emperor expert, he must at least be a Dou Emperor expert!
A Dou Emperor at twenty years old was an existence unheard of in the Northwest Continent.
For a time, whether it was passersby at the fortress or imperial soldiers stationed there, all stared dumbfounded at this scene. Perhaps, everything that unfolded before them would become a lifelong topic of conversation for these small figures…
At this moment, the white-haired elder in the arena looked incredulously at Mo Yu, who had shattered his Mieyan Strangling. As a long-renowned expert of the Mu Lan Empire, he had been defeated by a young man. Once this news spread, it would undoubtedly become a huge joke.
Especially the mysterious and strange Amethyst light power made him feel that this was a power that did not belong to a Dou Emperor expert. Its power made one feel a chill from the bottom of their heart.
Looking at the elder in front of him, who was wrapped in a thick, brownish layer of earth with a solemn expression, Mo Yu regained control of his body and let out a light breath. Taking advantage of Snake Uncle's lingering might, he spread his Purple Cloud Wings and turned to leave.
"Kid, I truly underestimated you." Just as Mo Yu turned, the elder's somewhat astonished voice came from within the earthen layer.
Hearing this, Mo Yu paused his steps, put his long spear back into his storage ring, turned to the elder, and said, "Old Ancestor Mieyan, are you still going to stop me now?"
Although a Four-star Dou Emperor was powerful, with Snake Uncle's strength, as long as it wasn't an expert of the Three Elders of Mu Lan' Rank, they couldn't do anything to Mo Yu.
If he hadn't been worried about a mutual destruction, perhaps this battle would not have ended so amicably.
"Heh heh, little friend misunderstands. Although our Mu Lan Empire's Royal Family has succumbed to the pressure of Mulan Valley, we are not its subordinates.
Since you have defeated this old man, then this 'Shanhe Pass' is yours to enter and exit as you please." The elder smiled bitterly, shaking his head.
"Oh, then many thanks."
Mo Yu chuckled. The elder's answer was not beyond his expectations. If a Dou Emperor expert from Mulan Valley had been guarding this pass, they might have fought to the death to stop him, but the Royal Family members clearly would not.
After expressing his thanks, Mo Yu, under the gaze of hundreds of people around him, walked directly into the city. As he was about to enter the dark passage, he suddenly paused.
As the protagonist of the moment, with Mo Yu's pause, the surrounding whispers immediately quieted. Intense gazes stared at the young man's slender back, and some women's eyes even overflowed with speechless admiration.
"Old Ancestor Mieyan, I will repay this favor to your Royal Family in the future," Mo Yu said in a deep voice, turning his head to the slightly stunned elder.
After a moment of stunned, the elder smiled slightly. Indeed, conversing with intelligent people was effortless.
The young man's talent, in his opinion, was simply inconceivable. If he could grow in the future, the Mu Lan Empire's Royal Family would have indeed formed a good relationship.
This favor might displease Mulan Valley now, but it might play an unexpected role in the future.
"Furthermore, Old Ancestor Mieyan,"
Mo Yu's gaze slowly swept over the hundreds of people at the city gate, then he was silent for a while, before suddenly turning around, his free and easy body disappearing into the darkness, while his calm and indifferent voice quietly spread out.
"Please tell the higher-ups of Mulan Valley that I, Mo Yu, have remembered the grudge of the encirclement and assassination. If they dare to trouble me again in the future, I don't mind making Mulan Valley disappear from existence!"
Hearing the slowly spreading murderous sound, at the city gate, even Old Ancestor Mieyan was dumbfounded.
Mulan Valley, this was a prominent major force in the Mu Lan Empire and even the Northwest Continent. The Three Elders of Mu Lan' famous ultimate technique, the Three Beasts Desolate Technique, could even contend with a Dou Ancestor expert.
Yet, in the young man's mouth, such a force was dismissed as easily as turning to dust in a snap of the fingers, which made people feel incredible.
However, considering the young man's battle record of contending with a Dou Emperor just now, who knew what level he would reach in ten or twenty years? Even Mulan Valley would probably not be put in his eyes.
He didn't pay attention to the puzzled, shocked, and skeptical gazes of the crowd. After the young man finished speaking, he turned his head and flew away.
Although Mulan Valley's strength was not weak, Mo Yu knew that due to the existence of a child of the plane like Xiao Yan, a great age of contention was about to arrive.
In the future era where Dou Venerables were everywhere and Dou Ancestors were inferior to dogs, Mulan Valley was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
After defeating Old Ancestor Mieyan, no one dared to stop Mo Yu. Thus, with a shake of his Purple Cloud Wings, the young man, like a streak of light, disappeared from everyone's sight.
Watching Mo Yu's departing back, a hint of something unclear flashed in Old Ancestor Mieyan's cloudy old eyes. His Mu Lan Empire's Royal Family had been suppressed by Mulan Valley for so many years. If the young man could truly…
Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Mieyan shook his head. The future was too uncertain, and how far the young man could grow remained to be seen.
As the young man gradually departed, the fortress inside and out returned to tranquility. Everyone looked at his departing, graceful back, as if witnessing a legend slowly rise…
On the lush forest avenue, it was quiet and silent, with only the chirping of birds on the branches adding a touch of Life Qi to the empty road.
After passing through Shanhe Pass, Mo Yu had almost escaped the Mu Lan Empire. From then on, his personal freedom was no longer restricted in any way, truly like a bird flying freely in the sky and a fish leaping in the vast sea.
Although Mulan Valley was powerful, it did not dare to provoke the Jia Ma Empire at will, after all, this was Cloud Mist Sect's territory.
Even though Cloud Mist Sect had been declining in recent years, it was not a soft persimmon. Its hundreds of years of foundation made it not to be underestimated.
"Have I returned to the Jia Ma Empire? I haven't been back for hundreds of years, it seems."
On a small hillside, Mo Yu gazed at the distant scenery. Snake Uncle appeared at some point, looking at the familiar mountains and rivers, he said with some emotion.
Hearing this, Mo Yu was startled, then remembered that the person beside him was a Snake-People expert from hundreds of years ago, and the Jia Ma Empire could barely be considered his homeland.
"Snake Uncle, the current Snake-People have migrated to the Tagore Desert, which isn't far from here. Do you want to go see them?" Mo Yu suggested.
A hint of contemplation flashed across his feminine and stern face, then Snake Uncle shook his head and said, "No, not yet. I am merely a Soul body now. I'll go see them after I'm resurrected."
Hearing Snake Uncle's words, Mo Yu nodded in understanding.
As the saying goes, 'returning home rich is like wearing brocade at night,' but at present, Snake Uncle didn't even have a body, let alone wealth. Returning to his tribe now, with his Dou Venerable strength from before, although he wouldn't be ridiculed, he would still fall into an awkward situation.
"This is also your hometown. Where are you planning to go next?" Snake Uncle licked his lips, turned to look at the young man, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his snake-like eyes.
The young man's series of experiences in the Mu Lan Empire, in his opinion, were like a fantasy.
Even as a Dou Venerable expert, he was dazzled.
Now that he had arrived at the Jia Ma Empire, he was very curious what kind of waves the young man would stir up.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips, Mo Yu shook his head and said, "To the Imperial Capital. I have an agreement with a clansman to watch his three-year battle against his annulled fiancée. Counting the time, it's only a month or two away."
"Oh? It seems you value this clansman very much, otherwise you wouldn't travel thousands of miles to attend his annulment agreement."
Hearing Mo Yu's answer, Snake Uncle was startled. He had thought the young man would have some unexpected plan, but he only wanted to attend a boring annulment battle.
Noticing Snake Uncle's confusion, Mo Yu smiled slightly, without explaining much, only briefly mentioning, "The one my cousin is annulling his engagement with is the next Sect Master successor of Cloud Mist Sect, and his talent is no less than mine."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise immediately flashed in Snake Uncle's strange eyes.
Cloud Mist Sect, this was the number one Sect in the Jia Ma Empire. Hundreds of years ago when he left the Empire, Cloud Mist Sect was still a top-tier force in the Northwest Continent. Although it had declined now, it was still not to be underestimated.
And Mo Yu's clansman dared to challenge the Cloud Mist Sect's Sect Master successor to an annulment battle. Putting everything else aside, this courage alone was commendable.
What's more, Mo Yu actually personally praised this person's talent as not inferior to his own, which surprised Snake Uncle even more.
After spending so many days together, Mo Yu's talent was obvious to all, almost on par with the heirs cultivated by top forces in the Central Plains. And within his clan, there was actually another Prodigy with similar talent?
If he didn't know that Mo Yu came from a small Family in the Jia Ma Empire, he would even suspect what kind of super Family this so-called Xiao Family was.
Shaking his head, Snake Uncle's hoarse voice sounded, "Since that's the case, then let's go to the Imperial Capital. However, on the way, you'd best pay attention to any Heaven And Earth Treasure that can restore Bloodline Power. Just now, to defeat that white-bearded old man, I expended quite a lot of Bloodline Power.
If I don't recover in time, it won't be so easy for me to help you block a Dou Emperor expert next time."
Hearing this, Mo Yu was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Okay, Snake Uncle."
Unlike Old Yao, as a Human Race expert, when he transformed into a Soul body, he generally consumed Soul Power during battles. However, Snake Uncle, as a Seven-Winged Amethyst Serpent with an ancient Bloodline, consumed Bloodline Power.
Heaven And Earth Treasure that restored Bloodline Power were even more precious than those that restored Soul Power, but since Snake Uncle needed them, Mo Yu naturally wouldn't refuse.
In the azure sky, a streak of light suddenly appeared from far to near, then brought with it a gust of wind.
After three consecutive days of travel, the border city named Yang City finally faintly appeared within Mo Yu's sight. Landing outside the city, Mo Yu then, covered in dust, rushed into the city.
Upon entering the city, Mo Yu first went through the seemingly large medicine shops one by one, searching for any medicinal ingredients that could have a quick and miraculous effect in restoring Bloodline Power.
However, there were many medicine shops in Yang City, but the medicinal ingredients Mo Yu needed were of an extremely rare Rank, so he could only leave disappointed.
After leaving the last medicine shop, he made a round in the city's auction house, but unfortunately, he also found nothing.
Fortunately, Mo Yu had already anticipated this, knowing that these things were extremely rare, so he was not discouraged.
After giving up the search, Mo Yu rushed to the flying transport center in the city center, preparing to take a flying Demonic Beast to the Imperial Capital.
The reason he didn't fly himself or ride Purple Fire was because the Imperial Capital was crowded and full of hidden Dragons and crouching tigers. Mo Yu's nature had always been low-key, so he naturally wouldn't do such a high-profile thing.
Upon arriving at the flying transport center, after paying a hefty price, Mo Yu once again boarded a luxurious flying Demonic Beast, then began a long journey of more than half a month in the air. He crossed his legs and entered a Cultivation state, quietly waiting for his destination to arrive.
During the flight, Mo Yu did not interact with some of the people traveling with him, but he was quite surprised when they occasionally met.
Because he found that most of these people heading to the Imperial Capital were Alchemists, and some, judging by their appearance, did not even belong to the Jia Ma Empire.
Seeing this, Mo Yu immediately thought of the Alchemist Convention mentioned by the Blackrock City Alchemist Guild Master. At this, Mo Yu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Since it's the Alchemist Convention… then many Alchemists must have some rare Heaven And Earth Treasure in their hands, right?"
Muttering this to himself, Mo Yu secretly made a plan. He naturally had no intention of participating in the Alchemist Convention, but he was very aware of the sensation it caused.
This Alchemist Convention gathered Genius Alchemists from the Jia Ma Empire and many surrounding Empires. With so many Alchemists, he might be able to find some Heaven And Earth Treasure that could restore Bloodline Power.
If he could quickly find Heaven And Earth Treasure to restore Bloodline Power, then Snake Uncle could also recover some of his strength, and he would have more confidence if he faced a Dou Emperor expert.
With this thought, his mood became somewhat urgent.
And in his urgent wait, the flying beast, which had been flying for nearly half a month, finally gradually reached its destination, the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire, Jia Ma Holy City!
Standing on the back of the flying beast, Mo Yu looked down at the magnificent city appearing beneath the clouds. After so many years of Rebirth, it was his first time visiting the Empire's capital…
As the flying beast slowly descended, Mo Yu's gaze suddenly shifted to the north of the Imperial Capital. There, a vast mountain range, magnificent enough to be called a giant Dragon, lay prostrate, faintly exuding soaring Spiritual Qi.
That was the location of the Jia Ma Empire's strongest Sect, Cloud Mist Sect!
"Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Yun, are you well…"
Staring at the majestic mountain peak hidden in the faint clouds, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Mo Yu's eyes, and he murmured softly…
