"Dragon King? People from the Three Great Dragon Islands."
Hearing the conversation of the group, Mo Yu seemed to realize something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yixian curiously looked at Mo Yu and asked in confusion.
"They're from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and most likely enemies of Zi Yan. If they're here, they must be trying to recruit the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan to fight against Zi Yan." Mo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.
"What? Going against Zi Yan?"
Hearing this, Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin's expressions all changed slightly.
The three of them had spent a significant amount of time with Zi Yan and had developed a deep bond. Now, learning that these people were enemies within the Ancient Void Dragon Clan working against Zi Yan, their expressions immediately turned unfriendly.
"What do we do now? If these people successfully recruit the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, wouldn't Zi Yan be in danger?" Qing Lin asked anxiously.
"Heh, don't worry. With me here, how could I let the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan join the rebel faction of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?" Mo Yu said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed toward the Ancient Void Dragon Clan squad, with Zi Huo and the three women following closely behind.
...
On the other side, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan squad was moving swiftly when they suddenly saw a few figures hovering in mid-air ahead, their indifferent gazes slowly sweeping over them.
"These people aren't from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. Be careful!"
The leader of the Ancient Void Dragon squad was a burly man in black armor. He was evidently a meticulous individual, for as soon as he saw those figures, he gave a low shout, and his body immediately tensed, ready for battle at any moment.
"People ahead, move aside!"
Clenching his fists, the black-armored man shouted coldly.
"Capture them."
Ignoring his cold demand, Mo Yu remained expressionless and simply waved his hand lightly toward Zi Huo behind him.
Seeing this, Zi Huo took a single step forward, and in an instant, an extremely fierce killing intent spread across the sky.
Sensing hostility from the other side, the black-armored man's face turned cold, and vast Dou Qi surged from within him.
However, just as this Dou Qi was about to erupt, he and his men were shocked to find that the towering figure before them merely waved his hand, unleashing a terrifying force that instantly rendered them powerless, as if they were mere clay figures at the mercy of their opponent.
"Who are you?! We are from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"
Seeing that Zi Huo subdued all of them with a casual gesture, the black-armored man was immediately filled with horror. He was a Five-Star Dou Zun, yet in this man's hands, he had no chance to resist at all.
"Of course, I know you're from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Now tell me, what is the current situation within the clan? Have the Three Great Dragon Islands already prepared to move against their Dragon Emperor?" Mo Yu asked slowly.
"You... How do you know?!"
The black-armored man was shocked beyond belief.
The civil war in the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was an internal matter, yet this human knew so much—even about the Three Great Dragon Islands conspiring against the new Dragon Emperor!
"You only need to answer my question." Mo Yu's voice turned cold.
As his words fell, Zi Huo's massive hand suddenly tightened, and instantly, the black-armored man felt as though he was being crushed by an overwhelming force. His body and even his bones seemed on the verge of being ground to dust. His face flushed red, and blood trickled from his eyes.
"I... I'll talk!"
Seeing that Zi Huo was merciless in his methods, the black-armored man quickly begged for mercy.
He was not afraid of death, but being slowly crushed alive was a torment few could endure.
"Speak." Mo Yu waved his hand, indicating for Zi Huo to ease up, and then looked at the black-armored man.
"My lord, you are right. The Ancient Void Dragon Clan has indeed fallen into civil war. The Three Great Dragon Islands have allied to fight against the Eastern Dragon Island, but the battle remains deadlocked because the Eastern Dragon Island has produced a new Dragon Emperor and even recalled some Ancient Void Dragon elders who were cultivating in the void, greatly increasing their strength."
Feeling the terrifying pressure recede, the black-armored man let out a breath of relief. However, having witnessed Mo Yu's ruthlessness, he did not dare to hide anything.
"So, it has begun…" Mo Yu murmured to himself.
"Why have you come to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan?" Xiao Yixian asked.
"To form an alliance against Eastern Dragon Island," the black-armored man gritted his teeth and answered.
"Just as you predicted," Xiao Yixian said in surprise, looking at Mo Yu.
Hearing this, the black-armored man was even more shocked. He had no idea how this human knew so much, even about their plan to ally with the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan.
"Besides the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, the Three Great Dragon Kings must have sought other external support, correct? If my guess is right, it should be the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?" Mo Yu suddenly asked.
As soon as he heard this question, the black-armored man's body stiffened, and he looked at Mo Yu with utter disbelief.
In his mind, Mo Yu had already become akin to a divine seer…
Seeing the black-armored man's reaction, Mo Yu confirmed his speculation.
Just as in the original timeline, the Three Great Dragon Islands had invited the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to intervene.
If there were no surprises, the forces dispatched by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan should be the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes.
"The Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan… Zi Yan is in real danger now!" Cai Lin and the others said with grim expressions.
The Ancient Void Dragon rebels, along with two other supreme beast clans, formed a force so formidable that even though Zi Yan was the Dragon Emperor, her foundation was still too weak to withstand such pressure.
"Young Master, let's go help Sister Zi Yan," Qing Lin pleaded softly.
Mo Yu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. Zi Yan is our friend. Since she's in trouble, I won't stand by and do nothing.
"But for now, we shouldn't rush. As long as the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan don't enter the void space, Zi Yan should still be able to hold out. What we need to do now is stall both of these forces."
Hearing this, Cai Lin and the others nodded lightly, refraining from further urging.
Having made his decision, Mo Yu extracted more information from the black-armored man. When he was certain the man had nothing else of value to say, he finally let him go.
"Let's go. First, we'll head to the Nine Serene Spring."
After ordering Zi Huo to eliminate the Ancient Void Dragon squad, Mo Yu didn't linger. With a wave of his hand, he swiftly shot toward the depths of the underground, with Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin closely following behind.
Thanks to a detailed map, it took them less than an hour to reach the subterranean world. Along the way, they passed through several serpent tribes, and after roughly half a day, they finally arrived at the main stronghold of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan—the Nine Serene Ground Abyss.
The Nine Serene Ground Abyss was the headquarters of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan and was regarded as a sacred land by many serpent tribes. As a sacred ground, its defenses were naturally stringent, making it impossible for ordinary snake-people to enter.
"As expected of one of the three great magical beast clans. This mountain range is truly filled with powerful experts."
Standing atop a mountain outside the Nine Serene Ground Abyss, Mo Yu and his companions emerged, gazing into the distant mountain range as he muttered to himself.
"I didn't expect to see serpent tribes here as well… and their scale is countless times greater than our own tribe," Cai Lin exclaimed in surprise as she observed the densely packed snake-people settlements across the plains below.
"I've seen records in the clan's genealogy that our tribe migrated to the Tagore Desert a long time ago, but I don't know if we originally came from this Beast Region."
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded slightly. The origins of the serpent tribe likely did trace back to this place. But thinking about it, the serpent tribes of the Northwestern Region had given birth to talents like She Lao and Cai Lin, and even the future Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan. He couldn't help but wonder if it was due to the favorable feng shui of that region.
"The Nine Serene Spring is located deep within the earth vein, but this place is teeming with hidden experts, some of whom are even at the Ban Sheng level. If we alert them, it could be troublesome, so make sure to conceal your presence as much as possible," Mo Yu instructed softly.
"Understood," Cai Lin and the others nodded.
With a sweep of his sleeve, Mo Yu distorted the surrounding space, shrouding them all in spatial fluctuations. In the next moment, their figures vanished in an eerie manner.
Thanks to Mo Yu's spatial concealment abilities, they managed to evade the detection of numerous experts along the way. Finally, without alarming anyone, they slipped into the depths of the Nine Serene Ground Abyss.
Deep within the Nine Serene Ground Abyss lay a massive, pitch-black abyss. The abyss was over a hundred meters wide and seemingly bottomless, with an astonishingly frigid wind howling up from its depths like a relentless storm.
At the very bottom of this abyss resided the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan's sacred pool—the Nine Serene Spring, which was precisely Mo Yu's objective on this trip.
There were no guards stationed around the abyss, for everyone knew that the frigid storm winds surging from within served as the most natural defense. Even a Dou Zong-level expert wouldn't dare to venture in recklessly.
"Sizzle!"
As the icy winds continued howling, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, and several figures slowly materialized—it was Mo Yu and his group.
Upon emerging, Mo Yu glanced at the pitch-black abyss, a faint smile forming on his lips. Without hesitation, he waved his sleeve once more, unleashing a dense wave of spatial energy that wrapped around them. With sheer force, he pierced through the terrifyingly cold winds and plunged into the depths of the abyss.
The abyss was unfathomably deep. Even with Mo Yu's speed, it took nearly ten minutes before he finally caught sight of the ground below.
As he neared the bottom, a vast lake came into view. The frigid aura that could freeze even Dou Qi solid radiated from it in waves.
The lake was enormous, and its waters were a deep yellow. However, within the yellow hues, faint streaks of crimson resembling flowing blood could be seen.
"So this is the legendary Nine Serene Spring," Mo Yu remarked as he gazed at the yellow lake. He then turned to Cai Lin and said, "I'll head to the bottom first to retrieve the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal. Once I succeed, you can enter, and I'll protect you while you refine it."
Among their group, only Mo Yu, Cai Lin, and Zi Huo could approach the Yellow Spring. Mo Yu could do so due to his strength and Thunder Soul, while Cai Lin's unique physique granted her immunity.
As for Zi Huo, his Primal Lion Body made him impervious to the frigid energies here.
"Be careful. If it becomes too dangerous, retreat immediately," Cai Lin reminded.
Mo Yu nodded and continued, "Once I enter the Nine Serene Spring, all of you must remain hidden to avoid detection."
With that, he no longer delayed. Dense Thunder Soul surged from his body, seeping out from countless pores. As the terrifying lightning clashed with the frigid aura, it instantly created thick white mist that spread out in all directions.
"Splash!"
Summoning his Thunder Soul, Mo Yu took a deep breath, his expression solemn. Then, in a flash, he dove straight into the Nine Serene Spring, shooting toward its depths like a bolt of lightning.
"Zzzzt! Zzzzt!"
Within the murky yellow waters, a figure streaked by at high speed. Thunder crackled around him, and every time it made contact with the surrounding lake water, it emitted a continuous sizzling sound.
"As expected of the Nine Serene Spring… The chilling force within is truly remarkable."
Mo Yu moved swiftly toward the bottom, his expression gradually growing serious.
The frigid energy within the Yellow Spring was so potent that it seemed capable of freezing Dou Qi itself. Even with his Thunder Soul shielding him, Mo Yu could feel his limbs numbing, and the originally surging Dou Qi in his body began to slow.
Fortunately, Mo Yu's abilities were formidable. Despite the dangers, he pressed onward without pause.
Time passed unknowingly. Just as Mo Yu started feeling fatigued, his gaze swept downward—and he suddenly noticed a faint glow appearing at the very bottom.
His spirit immediately lifted, and he accelerated. Before long, he finally arrived at the source of the glow.
"So this is the bottom of the Nine Serene Spring?"
What lay before Mo Yu was an enormous expanse of sand and stone. Countless fist-sized fragments of rock were scattered about, emitting a faint luminescence. It was this glow that illuminated the depths of the abyss.
"If my guess is correct, the bottom of the Nine Serene Spring should be imprisoning an important figure from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan..." Mo Yu speculated.
Just as he was deep in thought, an extremely faint moan suddenly resonated through the water.
"Ah… help… me…"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the weak voice, Mo Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly. Then, a subtle smirk curled at the corner of his lips.
"So it seems the former clan leader of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan is still alive…"
