Within the courtyard of Yuan Manor:
"Cai Lin... and all of you, you've come?"
She Lao gazed at Cai Lin and the group of snake people with a smile on his face.
Although he had left the Snake-People Clan many years ago, in his heart, he still regarded it as his roots. Seeing so many clan members arrive filled him with joy.
"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"
Under Cai Lin's lead, the strong members of the Snake-People Clan looked at She Lao with reverence and greeted him respectfully.
As the strongest member in the history of the Snake-People Clan and someone who had ascended to the legendary Sheng level, She Lao was a figure of immense pride for the clan, even though he had left them long ago. Out of respect, Cai Lin had appointed him as the Supreme Elder of the Snake-People Clan.
"There's no need to be so formal. For you to come to Central Plains with Cai Lin, I trust that you are all outstanding members of the clan.
The Central Plains is vast, rich in resources, and far beyond what the Northwestern Region can offer. You're here to expand your horizons and rapidly improve your strength. Don't waste this precious opportunity." She Lao smiled warmly.
Despite his origins with the Snake-People Clan and being its strongest member, his loyalty was now tied to Yuan Manor due to his bond with Mo Yu. Yet, helping nurture strong individuals from his clan was a small favor he was willing to do.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder!"
The snake-people warriors, including Cai Lin, expressed their gratitude with visible excitement. As the queen of the Snake-People Clan, Cai Lin knew the stronger her clan became, the greater the benefits she would enjoy.
"Alright, you've all traveled far to reach the Central Plains. Go rest for now," She Lao said after a brief conversation with Cai Lin.
"You can continue your chat."
Understanding that She Lao had more to discuss with Mo Yu, Cai Lin excused herself and led the other snake-people warriors away.
As Cai Lin left, She Lao turned his gaze back to Mo Yu with a smile.
"This girl, Cai Lin, has changed so much—she's becoming more graceful by the day. Kid, the queens of my Snake-People Clan are known for their pride and icy demeanor. Who would have thought that, by some twist of fate, she'd end up tied to you?"
Mo Yu shrugged helplessly. His relationship with Cai Lin was indeed complicated. Who could have imagined that the Medusa Queen, who once viewed him with hostility, would eventually become his wife?
"I've heard about your recent battle. Sending three Tianzun to deal with you, including a Ban Sheng, shows how serious the Hall of Souls was.
Even so, they suffered greatly. Not only did you seize the souls they had gathered, but you also severely injured the Third Tianzun, forcing him to flee."
She Lao's tone carried admiration.
The Third Tianzun, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe, was a newly ascended Ban Sheng but still a genuine expert. For Mo Yu to defeat him while still at the Five Turn Dou Zun level was a feat that caused shockwaves across both the Northwestern Region and the Central Plains.
After all, while Dou Sheng experts rarely appeared, Ban Shengs were often the peak combatants among the major factions.
Though Yuan Manor had already earned its place among the continent's top forces with two Ban Shengs, Mo Yu himself had yet to be recognized as a true peer by the continent's elite.
But after his victory over the Third Tianzun, even those old monsters who didn't fully respect him would begin to view him with caution. As a rising star, Mo Yu's potential was undeniable.
She Lao looked at Mo Yu thoughtfully before speaking again. "As for the Hall of Souls' ultimate goal, I can't say for sure. This faction has always been shrouded in mystery. Their relentless collection of souls must be part of some grand scheme.
And judging by the recent intensification of their activities, it seems their plan is accelerating. According to reports, wars have broken out in other continents beyond the Central Plains.
Among them, new experts have emerged. For instance, the Shui Clan of the Southern Region has gained quite the reputation in their resistance against the Hall of Souls. While their strength can't compare to yours, they even managed to kill a standard Tianzun."
"The Shui Clan of the Southern Region?" Mo Yu's brows furrowed as a soft image of a beautiful woman surfaced in his mind.
The Shui Clan, once on the brink of losing its place among the Five Major Clans, had clearly risen to prominence, enough to deal a blow to the Hall of Souls.
"Yes," She Lao confirmed, his expression serious. He paused for a moment, then sighed and shifted the topic.
"In half a month, the Spatial Trade Fair will begin. Only the strongest factions and elites are eligible to attend.
With Yuan Manor's current status, we naturally qualify. I'll remain here to oversee the manor while you take Qing Zhi and attend the convention. If you find something valuable, it might help you break through to the Ban Sheng level."
Mo Yu hesitated briefly but eventually nodded in agreement.
The Spatial Trade Fair was an event of the highest caliber. Only top-tier factions and individuals were even aware of its existence. If not for Yuan Manor's growing influence, they wouldn't have been eligible to participate.
This convention, organized by three relatively obscure sects—the Ground Line Sect, Mysterious Space Sect, and Reflecting Treasure Mountain—was known for its integrity.
Though their names weren't as renowned as the Four Pavilions, even forces like Burning Flame Valley and Tian Ming Sect dared not underestimate them. Over the years, the convention had grown significantly, attracting hidden experts and showcasing rare treasures.
It was said that even legendary Tian Class Dou Techniques had been traded there in the past.
For Mo Yu, who was only a step away from the Ban Sheng level, this was an opportunity he couldn't miss. If he could acquire something truly extraordinary, it might drastically shorten the time needed for his breakthrough.
Moreover, Mo Yu had many Thunder Souls to nurture. Taking advantage of this opportunity to trade for more lightning-related items would help his thunder souls grow rapidly.
Having made up his mind, Mo Yu nodded slightly to She Lao before retreating to prepare for the upcoming Spatial Trade Fair.
Half a month later, at the back mountain of the Yuan Manor, a crowd of formidable auras stood in the area. Aside from Mo Yu, the Manor Lord, there were also She Lao and Qing Zhi, two experts of the Ban Sheng level.
"Let's set off. With Qing Zhi accompanying you, combined with your strength, even a Ban Sheng won't pose a threat to your safety."
Seeing Mo Yu brimming with energy, She Lao chuckled and spoke, estimating that the Spatial Trade Fair was about to begin.
Mo Yu nodded slightly. Accompanying him were only a handful of people, including Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin.
Since this trip was for trading purposes, bringing too many people might cause unnecessary alarm.
"Mo Yu, stay safe," Xiao Yu said softly, stepping forward with her long, fair legs. She adjusted Mo Yu's collar with reluctance etched on her face.
Initially, she wanted to go with Mo Yu. However, as the mistress of Yuan Manor, her presence would reassure the people within the manor during Mo Yu's absence, so she stayed behind.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Mo Yu patted Xiao Yu's fragrant shoulder, smiling faintly.
"Master, safe travels!" Nearby, Mo Yu's three new disciples bowed respectfully in unison.
Among them, Huang Tu still had a simple and honest smile, Xuanwo Zhu bore a cold expression, while Xiang Lin looked increasingly sweet and charming.
Not far away, Cai Lin observed the scene, her cold and stunning face tinged with a peculiar expression. To this day, she still found it hard to accept that the once youthful Mo Yu had now become someone's master.
Mo Yu paid no mind to the look on Cai Lin's face. Glancing at his three disciples, he nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of She Lao's chosen candidates, their talents were truly exceptional. After just a month under his tutelage, all three had advanced by one star, with Xuanwo Zhu even on the verge of a second breakthrough.
Still, Mo Yu's expression remained serious as he instructed, "During my absence, focus on cultivating diligently. Whoever breaks through to the Dou Huang level first will be rewarded."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Huang Tu and the other two's eyes lit up.
In their minds, Mo Yu was undoubtedly synonymous with strength. Now, the prospect of a reward from their esteemed master filled them with joy.
Seeing their reaction, Mo Yu chuckled and shook his head before looking at She Lao.
"Don't worry. Leave the manor's affairs to me," She Lao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded. With their close relationship, there was no need for formal thanks. He turned to Qing Zhi and the three women, nodded lightly, and in the next moment, they all unleashed their powers, soaring into the distance.
The venue for the Spatial Trade Fair was located in a desolate desert in the northeastern region of Central Plains.
"Whoosh!"
Beyond the desert, a sudden sound of rushing wind pierced the clear sky. Several blurred figures flashed across the horizon and appeared at the desert's edge.
"This is it?" Cai Lin gazed at the sandstorm-ridden desert ahead, somewhat surprised.
She had assumed the Central Plains was a land of wealth and prosperity, yet even here, there were such desolate and barren places.
"Yes." Mo Yu smiled and nodded. His eyes swept across the surroundings before his expression turned serious. "Though it seems like a barren, lifeless land, if you carefully sense it, you'll find numerous powerful auras hidden within."
Upon arrival, Mo Yu quickly sensed no fewer than a hundred auras in the desert.
The weakest among them was at the three-star Dou Zun level. The strongest carried a peculiar and distinct fluctuation, no weaker than Qing Zhi's—a fluctuation that belonged only to Sheng-level experts.
Nearby, Cai Lin and the others also noticed something. Their previously relaxed expressions turned serious.
"As expected of the highest-level trade fair in the Central Plains. It has drawn so many powerful individuals," Xiao Yixian said with a soft sigh.
"Heh, this is just a small portion. Once inside, you'll see that the term 'high-level' is truly well-deserved," Mo Yu said with a faint smile.
Thanks to Yuan Manor's intelligence network, Mo Yu was privy to many inside details, including the major factions and experts attending the Spatial Trade Fair.
Although Yuan Manor was now a rising power, it was still insignificant within the context of the Spatial Trade Fair.
Seeing Mo Yu's serious demeanor, Cai Lin and the other women nodded slightly.
"Still, Yuan Manor isn't an easy target. While we won't provoke others, if someone dares to cause trouble, we won't hold back," Mo Yu said confidently before turning to the three women.
"If you find anything you like at the Spatial Trade Fair, don't hesitate. It's on me."
As the lord of a manor, Mo Yu naturally had the means to back up such words.
Hearing this, the eyes of Cai Lin and the other two sparkled. Though their strength and status were high, who could resist shopping? Especially when it was their beloved footing the bill.
"Let's go."
Seeing their delighted expressions, Mo Yu chuckled and waved his hand. His figure stepped into the air, heading toward the depths of the desert.
The roaring sandstorms dissipated automatically within a hundred meters of him. Behind him, the others followed closely.
To them, the terrifying sandstorms were no obstacle. Within less than twenty minutes, they had reached the desert's center.
Atop a steep sand dune, the group climbed to the summit and looked beyond. A hint of astonishment flashed across their faces.
In the heart of the desert, at the base of a towering sand mountain, a massive black space vortex over a hundred meters wide slowly rotated. Waves of suction emanated from it continuously.
At this moment, figures with immensely powerful auras occasionally leapt down from nearby sand dunes and dove into the space vortex, disappearing without a trace.
"So this is the entrance to the Spatial Trade Fair? To independently create a spatial realm… truly impressive," Mo Yu remarked with a faint smile, his lips curling slightly.
