"Hmm, gather our forces and ambush the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!"
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Yao Ming did not question him at all and nodded respectfully.
Mo Yu patted Yao Ming's shoulder and said, "In that case, let's head back first."
As his words fell, Yao Ming moved swiftly, flying towards the exit of the Serene Snake networks. Behind him, Mo Yu and the other three followed at a steady pace.
Upon returning to the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, Yao Ming hurriedly began making preparations. He had only just regained his position as the patriach, and now he was immediately taking on such a significant task—it certainly wouldn't be easy. However, given his temperament, he should be able to handle it flawlessly.
While Yao Ming was preparing for the confrontation with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Mo Yu and his group took a day to rest. The next day, they once again gathered by the Nine Serene Springs.
"The cold energy contained within the Nine Serene Springs is fatal to most strong practitioners. However, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is naturally inclined toward cold energy. I suppose only you and She Lao can absorb this energy freely."
Gazing at the misty, icy cold Nine Serene Springs, Mo Yu turned to Cai Lin with a smile.
"This cultivation session won't be smooth sailing, and it might take quite a long time. If I have to leave halfway through, I'll instruct Yao Ming to have people guard you."
Hearing Mo Yu's considerate words, Cai Lin's eyes flickered. She suddenly stepped forward, lifting her alluring, narrow eyes, and pressed her soft, red lips against Mo Yu's.
Feeling that unexpected softness, Mo Yu momentarily lost himself before instinctively wrapping his arms around Cai Lin's delicate, boneless waist.
This was true temptation—her bewitching snake-like figure swayed gently, exuding a mesmerizing charm.
Just as Mo Yu was indulging in the warmth, the beauty in his arms slightly turned her head, her soft voice whispering into his ear.
"This place isn't convenient. Next time. I'm going now."
Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. When he turned to look, he saw a teasing smile curve on Cai Lin's enchanting face.
"Heh, then I'll be waiting."
Seeing the playful glint in Mo Yu's eyes, a blush spread across Cai Lin's beautiful face. She let out a soft chuckle before her graceful figure flickered and transformed into the enormous Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
With a flick of her massive tail, she plunged into the Nine Serene Springs without looking back, sending massive waves surging skyward.
"Blub blub blub!"
As Cai Lin entered the Nine Serene Springs, the lake instantly began to bubble violently as if it were boiling. Mo Yu could sense that the entire energy of the Nine Serene Springs had been stirred.
"When Cai Lin emerges again, she should have evolved into the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python..."
Standing beside the Nine Serene Springs, Mo Yu murmured to himself.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Cai Lin should find her opportunity within the Nine Serene Springs and successfully evolve into the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, a species that had disappeared from the continent for tens of thousands of years.
"There's still some time left. The Demon Saint's blood essence essence contains the power of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint. If I can absorb it this time, my strength should increase significantly."
After observing the Nine Serene Springs for a while, Mo Yu's mind stirred. A drop of golden blood appeared in his palm.
"I'll refine it first."
Mo Yu opened his mouth, and the drop of golden blood shot into it like a flash of lightning.
"Boom!"
The moment the golden blood entered his body, Mo Yu's robes instantly disintegrated into dust. A terrifying surge of energy spread from his body, causing cracks to form in the surrounding mountains.
The energy within the blood was far more violent than Mo Yu had anticipated—enough to cause an expert at the Five-Star Dou Zun level to explode on the spot.
However, Mo Yu had long surpassed that level. Though the abrupt change within his body caught him off guard, he quickly steadied his mind and methodically began refining the overwhelming energy.
Under his near-perfect control, the rampaging energy gradually came under his command. With the tempering of the Thunder Soul, the energy slowly mellowed out and eventually fused into every part of Mo Yu's body.
"Huff…"
Seated cross-legged on the mountain rock, Mo Yu exhaled a dense stream of energy, which coiled upward like a dragon before dissipating into the sky.
Rumble!
As more and more energy was absorbed into Mo Yu's body, waves of energy ripples spread outward, causing the surrounding solid mountain walls to crack apart, leaving behind numerous massive fissures.
"Whoosh!"
The commotion near the deep ravine quickly attracted the attention of many powerful experts from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, who watched with astonished expressions from a thousand feet away.
Several streaks of light flashed across the sky before stopping above the ravine, revealing Yao Ming and a few esteemed elders of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. They too stared in shock at Mo Yu, who was engulfing the heaven and earth energy.
"Such powerful energy… Mo Yu must be nearing Two-Star Dou Sheng, right?" an elder exclaimed.
Yao Ming, however, shook his head and said, "The Demon Saint's blood essence is indeed formidable, but advancing between the Dou Sheng levels is not so simple. If the Manor Lord can reach the late stage of One-Star Dou Sheng, it would already be a great success."
"Manor Lord…?"
Hearing Yao Ming address Mo Yu in this manner, the surrounding elders exchanged glances.
An elderly man with white hair finally spoke hesitantly, "Patriach, have you really decided to merge the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan into Yuan Manor?"
"Mo Yu indeed possesses astonishing talent and immense strength. Yuan Manor has also recently risen as a formidable force in Central Plains. However, our Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan is one of the three great beast clans, renowned throughout the continent."
"Besides, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. As the Patriach, you should understand this principle. If you wish to repay Mo Yu, you can do so in other ways. Why must we join Yuan Manor?"
Over the past two days, aside from mobilizing forces to ambush the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Yao Ming had also announced that the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan would merge with Yuan Manor and form the Ground Python Hall, with him serving as both the Patriach and the hall master.
The moment this news spread, it caused an uproar within the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan.
After all, the clan was a prestigious super clan in the Beast Region, not some obscure faction. Every member of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan carried their own pride and naturally resisted the idea of joining Yuan Manor.
Despite this, Yao Ming disregarded the clan's sentiments and insisted on merging with Yuan Manor. This inevitably led to doubts and dissatisfaction among the more senior elders.
Seeing the skepticism in the elders' eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yao Ming's gaze. As a leader, he was not without his own decisiveness and iron-handed methods…
Previously, Mo Yu had specifically reminded him not to enforce this matter within the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, so Yao Ming could only suppress the cold intent in his heart and explain, "Indeed, my Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan is one of the three great super clans in the Beast Region, but so what?
Whether it's the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan or the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, their strength far surpasses ours. Not to mention, among the human race, there exist extremely powerful Ancient Imperial Clans.
If we truly evaluate our standing, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan cannot be considered a top-tier force on the continent.
Based on my calculations, the continent's situation is about to undergo a drastic upheaval. If our Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan wishes to seize this opportunity and rise to stand alongside the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, we must be adept at capturing this moment.
And in my view, the Manor Lord of the Yuan Manor is that golden opportunity—because he possesses the potential to become a Dou Di!"
"Dou Di potential?"
Upon hearing this, several Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan elders exchanged glances, their murky old eyes flashing with astonishment.
After all, a Dou Di powerhouse had vanished from the continent for nearly ten thousand years. For Yao Ming to claim that Mo Yu had the potential to become a Dou Di not only shocked them but also made them deeply skeptical.
Seeing their doubtful expressions, Yao Ming frowned, then pointed toward Zi Huo, who stood not far away, and said in a low voice, "Do you know who this person is?"
Following Yao Ming's gesture, an elder pondered for a moment before saying, "He seems to be from the Abyssal Lion Clan. Yao Xiaotian… A rebel once fought against this person and ended up at a disadvantage…"
"Elder Ming is correct. This person's name is Zi Huo. Not only is he under the command of the Manor Lord, but he is also the possessor of the Primal Lion Body from this generation of the Abyssal Lion Clan!" Yao Ming said gravely.
"The Primal Lion Body?"
Hearing this, several elders of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan once again showed expressions of shock. Clearly, they had not expected the Primal Lion Body to reappear on the continent.
In ancient times, the Abyssal Lion Clan was not inferior to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan in power. Their strength far exceeded that of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, and the reason for this was precisely because the Abyssal Lion Clan had always produced bearers of the Primal Lion Body throughout generations.
The reason the Abyssal Lion Clan had declined in recent times was that there hadn't been a new bearer of the Primal Lion Body for nearly ten thousand years. Now that the Primal Lion Body had reappeared, could it be that the Abyssal Lion Clan was about to reclaim its former glory?
"Hmph, even a possessor of the Primal Lion Body is willing to submit to the Manor Lord. Do you truly think that our Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan's bloodline is nobler than his? If we don't seize this opportunity now, it will be too late once the Manor Lord achieves greatness!" Yao Ming coldly snorted.
Hearing that even a possessor of the Primal Lion Body had joined Mo Yu's forces, the elders exchanged glances, feeling much more at ease. After all, when it came to bloodline heritage, their Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan was indeed far inferior to the Primal Lion Body.
However, asking them to relinquish their esteemed positions within the clan and join that so-called Yuan Manor still made them feel somewhat reluctant.
"A bunch of stubborn old fools. Don't forget that I am the patriach of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan! If you continue to oppose this decision, don't blame me for enforcing the clan's laws!" Yao Ming said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the elders immediately recalled how Yao Ming had ruthlessly executed Yao Xiaotian. Their hearts turned cold, and they hurriedly cupped their hands toward him. "We shall obey the patriach's orders."
As the words fell, the elders exchanged glances, their expressions complicated, feeling somewhat anxious and uneasy.
Joining the Yuan Manor… Was it truly a blessing or a curse?
"Boom!"
While Yao Ming and the elders discussed in the sky, the massive energy storm was completely devoured by Mo Yu. As the final wisp of energy merged into his body, the once turbulent world gradually fell into silence.
"Phew."
A breath filled with dense energy escaped from Mo Yu's throat. As it dispersed, it condensed into a liquid form and sprinkled downward, seeping into several giant rocks. Instantly, those stones began to transform, turning crystalline like jade.
"Congratulations to the Manor Lord for advancing to the late stage of One-Star Dou Sheng." Seeing Mo Yu finish his cultivation, Yao Ming swiftly descended from the sky and spoke.
At the same time, Zi Huo and Xiao Yixian also descended, standing behind Mo Yu.
Feeling the tremendous surge of power within him, Mo Yu nodded slightly. As expected, this Demon Saint's blood essence was extraordinary—it had helped him reach the late stage of One-Star Dou Sheng, only a step away from breaking through to Two-Star Dou Sheng.
"Yao Ming, has there been any news from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?" After experiencing his surge in power, Mo Yu shifted his gaze to Yao Ming and asked.
"As expected, Manor Lord, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has indeed dispatched the Three Phoenixes of the Heavenly Demon to aid the rebel forces of Ancient Dragon Island," Yao Ming reported. "Among them, Feng Huang is a mid-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng, Kun Huang is a late-stage One-Star Dou Sheng, and Ying Huang is a mid-stage One-Star Dou Sheng."
"Three Dou Sheng…"
Mo Yu slightly nodded. In the original timeline, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had also sent the Three Phoenixes to interfere in the internal conflict of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Now, the same situation was unfolding, with the rebel forces of Ancient Dragon Island seeking their help. Naturally, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away.
"These three are incredibly powerful. Together, they could even challenge a Three-Star Dou Sheng. If they assist the three Dragon Islands, then Eastern Dragon Island will be in grave danger," Yao Ming warned.
Mo Yu nodded silently. No matter what, he couldn't allow the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to interfere. Otherwise, Zi Yan's Eastern Dragon Island would be completely unable to resist the three Dragon Islands.
"When will they depart?" Mo Yu asked softly.
Though the Three Phoenixes were strong, Mo Yu's side had Zi Huo and Yao Ming, who was a Two-Star Dou Sheng. That made three Dou Shengs on their side as well.
Furthermore, while Mo Yu was only at the late stage of One-Star Dou Sheng, his soul power was at the half-step Di Realm, equivalent to a Three-Star Dou Sheng.
In other words, even in a one-on-one confrontation, his side could completely overpower the Three Phoenixes of the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes!
Hearing Mo Yu's question, Yao Ming quickly replied, "If the intelligence is correct, they should be departing in three days."
Mo Yu gently nodded, then turned to Yao Ming and smiled faintly. "Are our forces ready? This time, not a single one of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members should be allowed to escape!"
Yao Ming nodded solemnly. "Manor Lord, besides myself, all the Ban Sheng experts of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan have assembled—nearly twenty in total! Every one of them is an elite from our clan. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will have no chance of survival!"
"Oh? The entire Sheng-level force is mobilized?" Mo Yu chuckled. "In that case, we move out tomorrow. Our destination—the Ancient Dragon Island. In three days, we annihilate the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!"
As he spoke, Mo Yu's voice carried an unmistakable aura of slaughter.
