Watching the dozens of people dismount from their magical beasts, Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel internally. The Mu Lan Empire was indeed far stronger than the Jia Ma Empire; just the sheer number of powerful cultivators was beyond what the Jia Ma Empire could muster. 

Not to mention the Dou Ling experts—just these ten Dou Wang alone would require the combined effort of the entire Jia Ma Empire to gather. Yet, the Mu Lan Valley and the Huang family had dispatched ten Dou Wang in one stroke! 

As Mo Yu was pondering this, a deep, thunderous roar suddenly reverberated through the air. 

"Who dares intrude upon the territory of the King of Lizard Serpent Clan?!" 

With those words, a massive lizard-like serpent, six to seven meters long and covered in gray scales, emerged from the dense forest nearby, its eyes a menacing blood-red. 

This serpent not only had an enormous build but also exuded a powerful aura. As it moved, an invisible pressure radiated from it, no less than that of a Dou Wang! 

Seeing the magical beast, Mo Yu's expression tensed momentarily before a faint smile appeared on his lips. 

"A fifth-tier magical beast, the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent. No wonder it can speak the human tongue. Things are about to get interesting." 

On the other side, when the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent noticed the group from Mu Lan Valley, a trace of shock flashed in its blood-red triangular pupils. 

It had sensed the life force of a patrol team abruptly vanish and had come to investigate, expecting to find some minor thief trying to sneak into its king's territory. But instead, it found a large gathering of powerful beings. 

As its wary gaze swept over the old man in the lion-patterned robe, the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent spoke in a deep voice, "Humans, this is the territory of my Lizard Serpent Clan. Why have you gathered so many powerful cultivators here? Are you seeking to start a war?" 

"Hmph! Gray Lizard Blood Serpent, your clan captured my son, yet you pretend to be innocent?" Among the leading figures, a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to the Little Beast King stepped forward, his gaze cold and murderous as he glared at the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent. 

As his voice fell, the powerful cultivators behind him also glared at the serpent, their hostility evident. Even though it was a fifth-tier magical beast, the pressure from the assembled experts was palpable. 

Moreover, though the leading elder kept his eyes closed, his formidable aura was even stronger than that of the Lizard Serpent Clan's king, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King. 

"Rubbish! Who are you people? When did my Lizard Serpent Clan ever capture your son? If you're looking for trouble, know that even if you have many strong fighters, my clan won't be easily bullied!" The Gray Lizard Blood Serpent was taken aback by the accusation, not recalling any incident of its clan capturing a human. 

It assumed that the humans were fabricating an excuse to stir trouble, especially since its own king had recently obtained a remarkable treasure. Perhaps this had attracted the covetous eyes of some powerful figures within the empire. 

"Hmph, a few days ago, in broad daylight, your Lizard Serpent Clan's Rock Serpent Giant Lizard captured my son! There's no mistake about it. Moreover, with the Thousand Mile Trace calculated by Mu Lan Valley's foremost artificer, Elder Mu, it confirms that my son is within your clan's territory. What do you have to say to that?" the middle-aged man said furiously. 

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu, who was hiding nearby, raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of relief. 

Fortunately, after capturing the Little Beast King, he had not kept him by his side but had instead hidden him unconscious in the Lizard Serpent Clan's territory. Otherwise, this would have backfired. 

The Thousand Mile Trace was a fifth-tier tool that Mo Yu had crafted in his previous life. It could use personal items to trace a person's location within a thousand miles, making it extremely useful for both tracking and searching. 

It seemed that Mu Lan Valley's large-scale operation this time was due to their certainty that the Lizard Serpent Clan had taken the Little Beast King. 

"Mu Lan Valley?" Hearing this, the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent dismissed the talk of rescuing a son and instead focused on the name of this powerful faction, a sense of foreboding creeping into its heart. 

The claim of rescuing a son, in its mind, was just a pretext for the humans to conceal their true intentions. After all, humans were notoriously deceitful. 

But the involvement of Mu Lan Valley meant real trouble, especially given the presence of the Mu Lan Three Elders, who were as formidable as Dou Zong-level powerhouses. 

"Humans, my Lizard Serpent Clan did not capture your son. You had best leave quickly, or if my king shows up, things will become difficult to resolve." The Gray Lizard Blood Serpent tried to issue a threat. 

"Lord, I told you long ago not to negotiate with these serpents. Since they have captured the prince, we should just beat them until they obediently hand him over. These lizard serpents only understand force..." said a burly man floating in the air, addressing the middle-aged man. 

The man wore a black robe with a golden lion emblem roaring towards the sky. 

This golden emblem signified that the man was one of the Huang family's rare elite guards—a Dou Wang-level expert! 

"If that's the case, then I'll leave it to you, Guard Li, to capture it. If the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King is wise, he can exchange the prince for this Gray Lizard Serpent; otherwise, we'll kill it and use it as a warning!" the middle-aged man in yellow robes said coldly. 

Guard Li laughed and nodded. "Don't worry, Lord. Leave it to old Li." 

With his words, two more Dou Wang experts stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, the Little Beast King is not only the Huang family's heir but also the successor to our Mu Lan Valley. We'll assist you." 

"Haha, with the Kings Wind and Rain Duo of Mu Lan Valley helping, capturing this serpent will be easy!" the burly man laughed. 

"Hmph, you humans are shameless, ganging up on me like this!" Seeing the three Dou Wang experts surround it, the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent roared in anger. 

While it could handle a one-on-one fight with any of them, facing three simultaneously was challenging. 

And apart from these three, there were several other Dou Wang and even a Dou Huang among the group! 

"I need to get this information to the king quickly." With this thought flashing through its mind, the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent wasted no time. A strange symbol glowed in its scarlet eyes, and its tail slapped the ground forcefully. 

With a muffled thud, a nearby hill suddenly exploded, and a massive earthen wall formed in front of the serpent, crashing towards the group. 

"Attack!" Seeing the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent take the initiative, the burly man bellowed, lifting his head and spreading his arms wide. A solid, pale-green sonic wave roared from his open mouth. 

As the sound waves spread, the earthen wall shuddered before collapsing to the ground. 

While the burly man neutralized the wall, the two Dou Wang experts from Mu Lan Valley vanished in a blur, and the next moment, intense energy waves erupted from behind the crumbling earth wall. 

The burly man, after breaking through the wall, charged into the battle zone with an almost reckless ferocity, creating deep trenches in the earth with every surge of energy. 

Amidst the flying black soil, the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent's blood-red eyes glowed with the strange symbol, unleashing two crimson energy beams that coalesced into two enormous blood serpents. 

These serpents, covered in tough scales and flashing sharp white fangs as their jaws opened and closed, seemed almost alive, exuding a faint but menacing aura. They managed to barely fend off the attacks from the three Dou Wang experts. 

"The Gray Lizard Blood Serpent Beast's combat power is impressive, but facing three opponents, it won't last much longer. I wonder when the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King will appear. Only then will I have a chance to sneak into the palace and search for the Ten Thousand Beasts Flame." 

Watching the intense battle between the three humans and the magical beast, Mo Yu absentmindedly stroked his chin, murmuring to himself. 

"Your Highness, it seems that the adults won't be able to handle this Gray Lizard Blood Serpent Beast anytime soon. Should we assist them?" a second-class guard from the Huang family respectfully asked the middle-aged man in the yellow robe. 

Hearing this, the middle-aged man slightly turned his head, glancing at his elder. 

To intervene in a battle among Dou Wang-level experts, those at the Dou Ling level wouldn't be of much use; a Dou Wang-level fighter would be needed. 

The Huang family had only brought him and a guard of Dou Wang level. He wouldn't stoop to join in attacking a magical beast, so the task would have to fall to the Dou Wang experts from the Mu Lan Valley. 

However, even though he was a prince of the Mu Lan Empire, he couldn't command the strongmen of Mu Lan Valley—this required orders from Elder Lion. 

Noticing the middle-aged man's gaze, the elder slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in his lion-like eyes. An invisible aura emanated from him, distorting the air around them slightly. 

The elder first looked towards the distant palace, then shook his head, saying, "No need to send anyone. It's coming." 

"It?" The middle-aged man was initially stunned, then seemed to realize something, and his expression grew serious as he said in a deep voice, "The Black Lizard Demon Serpent King..." 

As his voice fell, a furious, icy voice suddenly rang out in the sky. 

"Humans, why do you invade my territory and harm my kind? If you don't give me an explanation today, my Lizard Serpent Clan will fight you to the death!" 

A massive black lizard-snake beast suddenly flew out from the palace, starting as a black dot before gradually revealing its true form, eventually hovering steadily in mid-air. 

Mo Yu's gaze swept across the enormous magical beast in the sky. This beast was huge, with a body seven to eight meters long covered in black scales that glinted sharply under the sunlight, making it blindingly dazzling. 

The beast's head resembled a ferocious snake's head, with a half-meter-long forked tongue constantly flicking in and out of its mouth, exuding a chilling aura. 

Behind the beast trailed a massive tail, three to four meters long, swaying slightly, as if even the void around it was bending. 

A strange, black mist-like energy swirled around the giant magical beast, covering the sky as it spread. Its four sturdy legs were also covered in black scales, and each step made the air tremble, hinting at its immense power. 

The colossal beast stood in mid-air, an invisible pressure descending from the sky, causing Mo Yu's heart to tremble slightly. 

"So this is the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King?" 

Looking at this sixth-tier magical beast, Mo Yu couldn't help but recall the Amethyst Winged Lion King he encountered in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The aura of this Black Lizard Demon Serpent King was even more intimidating, likely on par with a seven or eight-star Dou Huang. 

Moreover, this was the territory of the Lizard Serpent Clan, so despite Elder Lion of the Mu Lan Valley being a peak Dou Huang, dealing with the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King wouldn't be easy. 

This situation was precisely what Mo Yu wanted. The longer the two sides fought and the more intense their conflict, the better his chance to take advantage of the chaos. 

As the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King appeared, its cold snake eyes fixed on the three Dou Wang experts attacking the Gray Lizard Blood Serpent Beast. 

With a sixth-tier magical beast focusing on them, the three burly men instantly felt a bone-chilling cold, their scalps tingling as they looked up at the massive beast in the sky. 

Seeing the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King reveal itself, the three exchanged grim looks, then ceased their attacks and swiftly retreated to their main force. 

Although they weren't afraid of the Lizard Serpent Clan, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King was, after all, a sixth-tier magical beast. King fights king, generals face generals; until Elder Lion spoke, they couldn't provoke a conflict. 

"Cough... My king, it's my fault for letting humans sneak in." 

As the three men withdrew from the battle, the heavily wounded Gray Lizard Blood Serpent Beast dragged its battered body over to the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, its voice weak and trembling. 

"Hui Sha, this isn't your fault. These human experts outnumbered you; it's shameful. Rest assured, I will avenge you!" 

The Black Lizard Demon Serpent King said, then turned its icy gaze toward the three burly men, its tongue flicking in and out, eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. 

Under such a gaze, even though the three men were Dou Wang experts, they couldn't help but feel a chill running down their spines, as if they were standing in the depths of winter. 

Were it not for the presence of a peak Dou Huang on their side, they might have already bolted under the murderous aura of the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King. 

The majesty of a sixth-tier magical beast wasn't something that even Dou Wang experts dared to provoke lightly. 

Just as the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King's killing intent began to surge, an elder in a green robe suddenly stepped forward. A powerful, ancient aura of Dou Qi burst from him, crushing the sinister aura of the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King in an instant. 

The elder then stared at the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, a cold gleam in his eyes, and spoke with an authoritative tone. 

"Lizard King, hand over my grandson!"
