Chapter 82: Mo Yu's Plan
"Human woman, why do you disturb my rest?" The massive Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in a deep voice, speaking in human language as it hovered in the sky.
Mo Yu wasn't surprised by this. Magical beasts that reach a certain level of cultivation can develop intelligence, and not only speak human language but even take on human form.
"I want to trade something for your Amethyst Essence!" Yun Yun's voice rang out, confirming Mo Yu's suspicion—her target was indeed the Amethyst Essence.
"Trade? Very well! I'm currently in the process of transforming. If you can get me a Transformation Pill, I'll give you the Amethyst Essence. How about that?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a loud laugh.
Hearing this, Mo Yu couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Is this Lion King serious or just playing dumb? A Transformation Pill is a seventh-tier elixir—people would trade the Lion King itself for it, let alone just for a piece of Amethyst Essence."
Sure enough, when Yun Yun heard the Lion King's request, she shook her head slightly and softly replied, "Sorry, but a Transformation Pill is something that not many in the entire Jia Ma Empire can produce. However, if you're willing, I can offer you three five-star magic cores and a high-level Xuan class cultivation technique and battle skill in exchange."
Mo Yu frowned upon hearing Yun Yun's offer. Despite being the leader of a sect, Yun Yun's terms weren't very appealing.
To most people, three five-star magic cores are extremely valuable, but for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the ruler of the eastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, magic cores—even five-star ones—are not in short supply. As the king of this part of the mountain range, it could easily gather several five-star magic cores with just a sweep of its territory.
As for high-level Xuan class techniques and skills, they are common—so much so that even a small city like Wu Tan had auctioned off a high-level Xuan technique like the Wind Scroll. Therefore, the value of these items wasn't particularly high.
Given the natural enmity between humans and magical beasts, and with one side making unreasonable demands and the other offering subpar items for exchange, conflict was inevitable.
As expected, the Amethyst Winged Lion King refused Yun Yun's offer. After the failed negotiation, Yun Yun slowly raised her strange sword and said somewhat helplessly, "If that's the case, I'll have to take it by force!"
With a gentle lift of her hand, a small green tornado suddenly appeared in the sky. Initially, the tornado was only two meters wide, but within moments, it expanded rapidly, growing into a massive whirlwind several meters tall.
Between heaven and earth, the green tornado spun violently, uprooting the giant trees below, shredding them into countless splinters with its fierce winds.
"Hmph! The Magical Beast Mountain Range is not your human territory. You don't get to act recklessly here!" The Lion King growled, and from its massive jaws came a deep roar that echoed through the mountain range.
As the roar reverberated, the purple crystals covering the Lion King's body began to glow intensely. In the blink of an eye, torrents of purple flames burst forth from within it, coiling and swirling before converging into a massive purple pillar of fire.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly hid himself, leaping away and running several kilometers to avoid the danger.
This level of combat was far beyond his reach, and even watching from the sidelines was fraught with risk.
As Mo Yu retreated, the battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King grew even more intense.
Hiding on a hill several kilometers away, Mo Yu watched the distant battle closely, murmuring to himself, "The Amethyst Winged Lion King's defenses and physical strength are incredibly powerful, and Yun Yun is skilled in various wind-based Xuan class techniques. If this continues, the Lion King might be forced to reveal its true trump card."
As if on cue, the battle on the field began to change.
"Human woman, you've exhausted my patience!" The Lion King's low roar, laced with anger, echoed from its massive jaws. The purple light emanating from its body grew increasingly intense.
Moments later, the purple glow enveloped the sky. After a brief period of gathering energy, the light suddenly contracted, compressing into a dark purple beam of light no more than half a meter wide.
"A sealing technique." Mo Yu mused as he sensed the energy within the purple beam. Some higher-level magical beasts possess special innate abilities.
For example, on the Dou Qi continent, the Taixu Ancient Dragon, the strongest beast race, is born with the ability to control space and traverse the void.
As for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, its bloodline must carry some kind of legacy that grants it sealing abilities.
Seeing the sealing technique, Mo Yu suddenly recalled that the Lion King also had a young three-star cub. Since he was planning to bond with a magical beast anyway, why not make it this one?
A beast with sealing abilities has great potential, and if properly trained, it could become a formidable ally and companion—a very worthwhile investment.
With this in mind, Mo Yu's dark eyes remained fixed on the battle below. His next plan would require Yun Yun's cooperation.
In the battlefield, the dark purple beam of light shot out like lightning, its speed terrifyingly fast. With just two leaps, it appeared in front of Yun Yun.
"Amethyst Seal!"
The purple beam of light cut through the air, smashing through the dozens of wind shields Yun Yun had set up in front of her, and finally pierced into her body.
"Extreme Wind, Falling Death!"
The strange sword in Yun Yun's hand trembled violently, and a tiny, almost thumb-sized, deep beam of light shot out in an instant.
Though sealed, Yun Yun, as one of the most powerful figures in the Jia Ma Empire, still had her own hidden cards to play.
Crack!
The beam shot towards the Lion King's head, slicing through the red horn atop its head, cutting it in half.
The breaking of the horn caused the Lion King immense pain. Letting out a violent roar, it slashed at Yun Yun's chest with a powerful, savage swipe.
Struck hard, Yun Yun immediately spat out a small mouthful of blood. Her face paled slightly, and with a swift turn, her green wings flapped, sending her shooting out of sight into the distant sky.
Watching the injured Yun Yun retreat at such an incredible speed, the Lion King, now weakened due to its broken horn, let out a furious roar filled with murderous intent.
"Find her! I want that human woman found!"
The Lion King's massive head turned towards the mountain range below, its sinister roar of fury causing the beasts throughout the mountains to scatter wildly.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression grew serious. Channeling his Dou Qi into his legs, he quickly dashed off in pursuit of the fading green shadow.
He had to find Yun Yun before the other beasts did!
