A colossal silver seal shot through the air like a lightning bolt, releasing faint traces of energy that distorted the surrounding void wherever it passed.
Above the sky, a dazzling silver brilliance consud half the heavens. The thunder seal, resembling a falling teor, surged forth with sharp, destructive energy. Space rippled and cracks expanded along its trajectory.
Under this terrifying force, the silver thunder seal clashed violently with a deep-blue sea spear!
The mont the two forces collided, everyone's hearts involuntarily tightened. In such a fierce confrontation, who would erge victorious? Amidst the crowd's anticipation and anxiety, the outco was decided in the next instant.
The terrifying thunder seal unleashed countless tendrils of silver lightning, resembling a thunderous whale with its maw wide open, directly swallowing the formidable sea spear!
As this unfolded, countless astonished gazes lifted. The instant they saw the thunder seal engulfing the sea spear, a wave of shock rippled through the crowd.
Mo Ya, a six-star Dou Huang, wielding the mid-level Di-Class Dou Technique Boundless Ocean, was a powerhouse among Dou Huangs. Yet, against Mo Yu, a newly ascended Dou Huang, he was utterly powerless.
"Not good!"
Mo Tianxing, watching the battle from the ground, turned pale when he saw that the thunder seal, after destroying the sea spear, showed no signs of stopping.
Mo Ya, having expended most of his Dou Qi performing Boundless Ocean, was in no condition to resist the terrifying thunder seal. With no regard for the rules of the duel, Mo Tianxing rushed to intervene.
A wave of potent energy gathered in Mo Tianxing's palm as he prepared to counter the thunder seal. But before he could act, a slender jade hand suddenly appeared out of thin air, disrupting the energy he had amassed.
The delicate hand erged silently, as if from the void itself. Though seemingly fragile, it immobilized the overwhelming force in Mo Tianxing's palm.
Startled by this unexpected intervention, Mo Tianxing's gaze shifted to the owner of the hand: an enchanting woman with a voluptuous figure and a strikingly alluring face.
It was Cai Lin, the hall master of Yuan Manor's Heavenly Snake Hall!
Mo Tianxing's expression darkened as he processed the situation. The rumors about her strength rivaling that of the Elder of Eagle Mountain seed to be true.
Where had Mo Yu found such a formidable woman to serve under him? Could he really be a noble scion from Central Plains, rely passing through the Black-Corner Region for training?
"Hall Master Cai Lin, do you intend to fight ?" Mo Tianxing asked gravely, forcing his chaotic thoughts aside.
"You cannot interfere with his duel," Cai Lin replied indifferently, ignoring Mo Tianxing's threat.
anwhile, in the sky, Mo Ya, like a lone boat amidst a sea of thunder, struggled to withstand the imnse pressure. Even his Dou Qi wings disintegrated under the oppressive force.
Without his wings, Mo Ya gathered the last remnants of his Dou Qi for a desperate defense. However, he was like brittle ice under a heavy boulder—destined to shatter.
The thunder seal struck with devastating power, leaving Mo Ya's body coursing with silver lightning. Pale-faced, he spat a mouthful of blood and plumted to the ground, crashing into a large crater.
"Ya'er!"
Mo Tianxing abandoned his confrontation with Cai Lin and rushed to Mo Ya's side. He quickly retrieved a fifth-tier healing pill from his storage ring and fed it to his son.
As Mo Ya's breathing steadied, Mo Tianxing exhaled in relief before turning his frosty gaze to Mo Yu in the sky. "Manor Lord Mo, this was rely a sparring match. Was it necessary to strike so ruthlessly?"
The Black Emperor Sect mbers glared at Yuan Manor's forces, their anger palpable. Mo Ya's injuries were grave—he had narrowly escaped death.
Mo Yu, hovering in the air, responded coolly, "Sect Master Mo, if I recall, this duel was your son's idea. I rely accepted his challenge. Who could've expected that a six-star Dou Huang would crumble so easily before a one-star Dou Huang like ? Had I known, I might've held back."
Mo Yu's mocking tone struck a nerve, his words slicing through the Black Emperor Sect mbers' pride like blades.
Earlier, seeing Mo Ya use the Boundless Ocean technique had filled them with confidence. Yet, Mo Yu's mastery of the Thunder Emperor's Codex: Breaking Thunder Seal—a mid-level Di-Class Dou Technique—completely overturned their expectations.
Di-level techniques of such quality were exceedingly rare in the Black-Corner Region, and the fact that Mo Yu not only possessed one but had mastered it underscored his prowess as Yuan Manor's leader.
Realizing the depth of Mo Yu's strength, Mo Tianxing regretted his impulsiveness in opposing Yuan Manor.
"Sect Master Mo," Mo Yu began, "losing this duel is rely an acknowledgnt of Mo Ya's inferiority. Yuan Manor will not pursue the matter of Qi Shan further."
Mo Tianxing relaxed slightly at Mo Yu's apparent magnanimity, only for the latter to continue coldly, "However, the ambush by your sect and the Demon Fla Valley against Yuan Manor's mbers—how do you propose we settle this?"
Mo Tianxing's face tightened. "What would Manor Lord Mo suggest?"
"Compensation," Mo Yu replied nonchalantly. "Your sect's ambush caused significant harm. To resolve this matter, Yuan Manor must claim 20% of Black Emperor City's business."
"What?! Twenty percent?!"
Black Emperor City was one of the top three cities in the Black-Corner Region, a critical stronghold for the Black Emperor Sect. Giving up a fifth of its business would be a significant blow.
"Sect Master Mo, what's your decision?" Mo Yu asked, his tone sharp. "If you disagree, we'll have to resolve this through war."
After a mont of heavy silence, Mo Tianxing gritted his teeth and conceded. "Fine. As you wish, Manor Lord Mo."
Though so Black Emperor Sect mbers protested, Mo Tianxing dismissed them. Despite the steep price, he sensed that Mo Yu had yet to reveal his full hand, making direct confrontation unwise.
Mo Yu glanced at Mo Tianxing a few more tis after hearing his agreent. A person who could adapt to circumstances—this Mo Tianxing was truly soone worth noting.
"The businesses in Black Emperor City can be taken over by the Yuan Manor at any ti. If there's nothing else, my Black Emperor Sect will take our leave," Mo Tianxing cupped his hands and said.
"Mm." Mo Yu nodded lightly.
Upon receiving Mo Yu's approval, Mo Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, he led the experts of the Black Emperor Sect back along their original path without even looking back, leaving the people of Demon Fla Valley standing alone in the wind.
"Ahem, Manor Lord Mo, this was purely a misunderstanding. May I ask if our Demon Fla Valley might be allowed to leave?" Fang, whose face stiffened at Mo Tianxing's abrupt departure, quickly turned to Mo Yu with a forced smile.
"Misunderstanding?" Mo Yu's lips curled into a playful smile as his gaze turned cold. "Demon Fla Valley truly has so nerve. Do you think that just because of Old Ground Demon Ghost's na, you can disregard my Yuan Manor?"
"Impudence! How dare you insult our Founder!" A Second Elder of Demon Fla Valley, a peak Dou Huang, bellowed angrily.
"That's right! If our Founder wasn't in seclusion, how could your Yuan Manor act so arrogantly!" added the Third Elder, another peak Dou Huang.
"Old Ground Demon Ghost is in seclusion?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, imdiately understanding why Old Ground Demon Ghost hadn't acted personally.
"So what if it's Old Ground Demon Ghost? He's nothing more than a figure of the past." Mo Yu sneered disdainfully. Noticing the furious glares of Demon Fla Valley's mbers, he added indifferently, "When will your Founder erge from seclusion?"
Fang suppressed his anger and replied, "Our Founder doesn't adhere to a specific tiline for his seclusions, but this ti, he should erge within half a year."
"Half a year..." Mo Yu muttered under his breath before speaking decisively, "In that case, six months from now, my Yuan Manor shall engage Demon Fla Valley in a faction battle. Do you dare?"
"What? A faction battle!"
The expressions of Demon Fla Valley's elders changed dramatically. They exchanged looks, astonished by Mo Yu's bold proposition.
A faction battle ant life or death—one faction's annihilation. Was Mo Yu overconfident, underestimating Demon Fla Valley, or hiding so formidable trump card?
"Hmph, are you afraid? It seems Demon Fla Valley is only capable of petty, underhanded tricks!" Mo Yu scoffed.
For the Yuan Manor to truly dominate the Black-Corner Region, Demon Fla Valley needed to be eradicated. Even if they refused, Mo Yu planned to destroy their lair eventually.
"Fine! Let's see if your Yuan Manor dares to back out!"
After a mont of shock, Fang and the others glared coldly at Mo Yu. They knew their Founder's strength—a Seven-Star Dou Zong. No matter what cards Mo Yu held, he would be crushed by absolute power.
"Haha, then we shall et in six months."
With that, Mo Yu waved toward the Yuan Manor and led his people back to Mo City.
He paid little attention to the Demon Fla Valley mbers, who hadn't reached the Dou Zong level, as killing them now would only provoke Old Ground Demon Ghost's revenge earlier than necessary.
Half a year was sufficient for him to settle matters in the Jia Ma Empire. Then, he could eliminate the last obstacle to the Yuan Manor's dominance over the Black-Corner Region.
...
Upon returning to the Yuan Manor, the news of Mo Yu breaking through to Dou Huang spread quickly, filling the entire clan with joy.
As the Manor Lord, Mo Yu's strength symbolized the Yuan Manor's strength. A twenty-year-old Dou Huang ant Mo Yu's future potential was boundless, and so was the Yuan Manor's.
In response to the celebrations, Mo Yu smiled faintly and turned to the black-clad young man beside him. "Xiao Li, cousin, start mobilizing our forces. Gather half of the Yuan Manor's experts. In a few days, we'll return to the Jia Ma Empire."
"Huh? Alright!" Xiao Li froze for a mont before breaking into a wide grin, nodding enthusiastically. He had waited too long for this day.
"I'll also head to the Inner Academy for a while. Mobilizing the forces will be your responsibility." Mo Yu chuckled.
"No problem! Leave it to !"
Xiao Li grinned savagely as his gaze shifted toward the distant northern skies beyond the hall. A sinister arc appeared on his cold, sharp face.
Seeing Xiao Li's expression, Mo Yu's face gradually grew serious. As he pondered their return to the Jia Ma Empire, his expression suddenly froze, and he turned toward the direction of the Jia Nan Academy.
From there, a familiar and powerful energy fluctuation was slowly awakening.
Sensing this fluctuation, Mo Yu furrowed his brows and muttered in surprise, "What an unexpected twist. Xiao Yan, that brat, has co out of seclusion half a year early..."
