"You wretched beast! How dare you!"
The furious voice boomed throughout the small town, as loud and startling as a clap of thunder, making everyone tremble with fear.
After the voice faded, a tall, broad-shouldered middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion appeared in a flash. He wore a dark robe, adorned with the emblem of a silver lion roaring towards the sky.
The silver lion emblem indicated that this man was a second-class guard from the Lion King Huang family, one of the three great families of the Mu Lan Empire.
As soon as the middle-aged man arrived, his powerful high-level Dou Ling aura exploded out without reservation, causing everyone present to feel a deep sense of dread.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly concealed the gleam in his eyes, feigning shock and fear.
The middle-aged man scanned the chaotic scene, his face dark and furious as he looked at the devastation and realized that the Little Beast King had been snatched away. As a second-class guard of the Huang family, his top priority was to protect the Little Beast King. Now, not only had he failed in his duty, but the Little Beast King was abducted by a fourth-tier magical beast right under his nose, which was an unforgivable humiliation.
Moreover, the Little Beast King wasn't just any family member; he was the future successor of the Mu Lan Valley, deeply valued by the three elders of Mu Lan Valley, especially Lion Elder. His status was incomparably noble.
Thinking of the dire consequences of the Little Beast King's disappearance, and the punishment awaiting him upon returning to the family, cold sweat began to trickle down the middle-aged man's back.
With a frosty look in his eyes, the middle-aged man turned toward the direction the fourth-tier magical beast had fled. Whether it was the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard or its master, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, they had made a grave mistake by provoking the Huang family and Mu Lan Valley!
Just as he was about to give chase, his hawk-like gaze suddenly locked onto Mo Yu, standing quietly in a corner.
The appearance of the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard had been so abrupt, even to him, a high-level Dou Ling. It seemed too much of a coincidence, happening right as the Little Beast King was about to engage in battle with Mo Yu. By all logic, this talented young man should have perished at the Little Beast King's hands any second now.
Yet the magical beast appeared at the last moment, targeting none other than the highly esteemed Little Beast King. This turn of events made it hard to dismiss the suspicion that this seemingly harmless youth had something to do with it.
However, upon seeing Mo Yu's terrified expression in the face of the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard, the middle-aged man frowned.
Could this really be just a coincidence?
After all, how could a mere Dou Shi control a fourth-tier magical beast, let alone command it to abduct the Little Beast King?
Especially when the magical beast in question wasn't an ordinary one, but a member of the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard clan under the command of the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, a formidable sixth-tier magical beast.
Dismissing his suspicions, the middle-aged man turned his attention away from Mo Yu. At this moment, the most important task was to rescue the Little Beast King from the clutches of the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard. If the beast dared to be obstinate, both the Huang family and Mu Lan Valley would ensure the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard clan paid a steep price.
With this thought in mind, the middle-aged man's dou qi surged once again. He gathered energy under his feet, and with a powerful leap, he shot off in pursuit of the fleeing Rock Serpent Giant Lizard.
As the intense pressure from these two powerful figures faded, the tension in the air slowly began to dissipate, allowing the crowd to breathe a sigh of relief.
No one could have imagined that a small town on the outskirts of the Beast Mountain Range would witness the appearance of a fourth-tier magical beast and a Dou Ling expert. The situation had truly spiraled out of control.
Moreover, the fact that the Little Beast King had been abducted was an even greater shock. While the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard clan was indeed formidable, challenging the Huang family and Mu Lan Valley was a bold and dangerous move.
Many began speculating whether the mastermind behind this was the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, and the confrontation between the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard clan and Mu Lan Valley had everyone guessing about the potential consequences.
In the midst of this, the fact that Mo Yu had slain Huang Lie seemed to fade into the background. Even the members of the Wild Lion Mercenary Group, intimidated by Mo Yu's prowess, decided not to seek revenge, leaving him unbothered.
As Mo Yu watched the middle-aged man disappear into the distance, the fear on his face vanished, replaced by a slight smile.
Seeing that no one was paying him any attention, Mo Yu quietly slipped into the crowd and disappeared from sight.
"Kid, you're really something, diverting disaster onto someone else and stirring up trouble. I didn't expect you to have such devious tricks up your sleeve…"
Just as Mo Yu vanished around a corner, a cold and raspy voice echoed in his mind.
Hearing this, Mo Yu smirked but remained silent.
Indeed, it had been his idea to have Qing Lin order the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard to abduct the Little Beast King, a perfect strategy to redirect the calamity and sow discord.
When Mo Yu had learned that the Ten Thousand Beasts Flame had been taken by the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, he had been racking his brain for a way to seize it back. However, even with She Lao's help, taking on a sixth-tier magical beast was no easy feat. With the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard clan also standing in his way, reclaiming the Ten Thousand Beasts Flame seemed nearly impossible.
Mo Yu had almost given up on the idea of obtaining the flame, understanding that while high risk promised high reward, there was a fine line between taking a gamble and throwing one's life away.
But when the Little Beast King appeared, a plan slowly began to take shape in Mo Yu's mind.
Since he couldn't defeat the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King directly, why not redirect the disaster and let Mu Lan Valley fight the battle for him?
The Rock Serpent Giant Lizard followed Qing Lin's orders, and only Mo Yu knew this secret. By having the magical beast abduct the Little Beast King, suspicion would naturally fall on the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King. The Little Beast King's prestigious status would almost certainly spark a conflict between the two factions, creating the perfect opportunity for Mo Yu to reap the rewards.
The sudden appearance of the Dou Ling expert had indeed been unexpected, but since they were near the Beast Mountain Range, Mo Yu was confident that the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard could escape, even against a high-level Dou Ling.
Once the middle-aged man failed to recover the Little Beast King, Mu Lan Valley would likely dispatch even more powerful experts to the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard clan's territory.
A smile crept onto Mo Yu's face at the thought.
Just when he was about to abandon the Ten Thousand Beasts Flame, an unexpected opportunity had presented itself.
The Little Beast King truly was his lucky star!
As Mo Yu reveled in his plans, She Lao, watching silently from the beast ring, couldn't help but reveal a flicker of intrigue in his serpentine eyes.
The youth's actions had surprised even a Dou Zun like him.
A mere Dou Shi, yet he managed to ignite a war between Dou Huang-level forces. Such a feat was unheard of across the entire Dou Qi Continent.
For a moment, She Lao's view of the boy was refreshed once again.
Perhaps, this child could truly give him hope for rebirth.
While She Lao marveled to himself, Mo Yu had already arrived at the inn where he had stayed a few days ago, silently waiting for something.
As dusk gradually settled, a cute, beautiful little girl with a slender figure suddenly appeared at the inn.
Upon seeing this girl, many mercenaries immediately showed fiery expressions. Some were even unable to suppress the flames in their hearts and wanted to grab her for some rough play.
However, when they saw a young man in green robes slowly walking toward the little girl, many of their expressions instantly stiffened, and they stopped awkwardly.
A few mercenaries, unaware of the situation, were quickly pulled aside by their companions who whispered, "Are you looking for death? That guy is the one who killed the leader of the Berserk Lion Mercenary Group! If you want to die, don't blame me for not stopping you!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those mercenaries changed instantly. When they looked at the little girl again, their previous fiery gazes vanished, replaced with pale faces and a sense of having narrowly escaped death.
Ignoring the thoughts of these mercenaries, Mo Yu walked straight toward the little girl.
The little girl, Qing Lin, upon seeing Mo Yu approaching, revealed a sweet smile and nodded her delicate chin.
Seeing Qing Lin nod, Mo Yu's heart relaxed a bit. He gently took her hand and slowly led her out of the inn.
When they reached a secluded area, Mo Yu gently patted Qing Lin's head and praised her, "Good job, little girl!"
Hearing Mo Yu's praise, Qing Lin giggled, but then stammered, "Young Master, I had Xiao Guai follow all your instructions. I also knocked out that little beast king and hid him in the hidden place of the Lizard Tribe."
"But, on the way, Xiao Guai was hit by that big red-faced guy. It seems to have suffered a severe injury and will need a few days to recover."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu nodded.
The reason for hiding the little beast king in the territory of the Lizard Tribe was because Mo Yu feared that Mu Lan Valley had a secret method to locate the beast king. If he kept the little beast king with him, it would be troublesome if things backfired.
By hiding him in the Lizard Tribe's territory, if Mu Lan Valley sent people to search for him, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, who possessed the Ten Thousand Beasts Flame, would surely not allow it. A great battle would be inevitable.
As for Xiao Guai's injury, it did surprise Mo Yu. He hadn't expected that middle-aged man to be so strong. Fortunately, Xiao Guai had completed its task, and now it just needed to rest and recover.
"Let's find a safe place first. I have a few healing pills here. Let Xiao Guai take them and rest well for the next few days. Tell it not to come out."
The town was definitely not safe anymore. If Mu Lan Valley suspected him, all his previous efforts would go to waste.
Now, he just needed to find a hidden place and quietly wait for the war between Mu Lan Valley and the Lizard Tribe.
"Understood, Young Master," Qing Lin smiled and nodded. After contracting the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard, the little girl had developed a fondness for the Tier 4 magical beast and naturally wanted its injuries to heal quickly.
Mo Yu gently patted Qing Lin's head, then picked her up and began searching for a suitable location in the mountains.
Half an hour later, deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, at the foot of a hidden cliff, Mo Yu sat cross-legged in a six or seven-meter-long cave.
This cliff was a place he had carefully chosen for cultivation. Across from the cliff, mist swirled, obscuring the dangerous Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range below.
Beneath the cliff was a bottomless abyss, and the only path to this place had been concealed earlier by Mo Yu with branches and rocks. He was confident that no one would find them in the coming days.
To Mo Yu's left lay a massive black lizard, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard.
At the moment, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard was extremely weak, likely due to its severe injuries. After taking Mo Yu's healing pills, it slowly drifted into a deep sleep.
Beside the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard was a cute little girl, Qing Lin.
As the night slowly descended, the little girl, tired from the day, leaned against the giant lizard and gradually fell asleep.
Watching this peaceful scene, a smile appeared on Mo Yu's lips.
He just needed to stay in this cave for a few days, and he would reap a bountiful reward.
But before that, he couldn't waste the next few days. With that thought, Mo Yu retrieved a deep red magic core from his beast ring.
Seeing this magic core, an image of a graceful, noble figure appeared in his mind.
This magic core was none other than the Tier 5 magic core that Yun Yun had gifted him in the Magical Beast Mountain Range!
Earlier, Mo Yu had given the Earthcore Soul Fruit to She Lao to help him recover part of his soul power, and because of this, his hopes of breaking through the fourth-grade soul force had been dashed.
But since he couldn't break through in soul power for now, he might as well focus on his Dou Qi breakthrough.
After so many days of training and the battle with Huang Lie, Mo Yu felt that the opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived.
With a Tier 5 magic core, Mo Yu's plan was clear.
He was going to break through to Da Dou Shi!
