In the Serene Snake network, the entire place fell into a dead silence as everyone gazed at Huang Tian, who was now like a dead dog, captured by Mo Yu.
As a Five-Star Dou Sheng, the current Patriach of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan—one of the three great super beast clans—Huang Tian was considered the number one expert in the Beast Region ever since the disappearance of the Ancient Void Dragon Patriach a thousand years ago.
Yet no one expected that this so-called strongest expert in the Beast Region, who had charged into the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan with overwhelming momentum, would end up in such a miserable state—not only suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Mo Yu and Cai Lin but even teetering on the brink of death.
With this battle, the entire Beast Region would come to recognize the new overlord of Central Plains. The might of the Lord of Yuan Manor had been thoroughly displayed, and Mo Yu had also completely won the loyalty of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. In terms of prestige, he even surpassed Yao Ming.
"Spare... spare my life…"
At this moment, Huang Tian, who was held captive in Mo Yu's hand, trembled as he weakly opened his eyes and begged for mercy.
From Mo Yu, he could feel an overwhelming killing intent that made his heart tremble. Even as a Five-Star Dou Sheng, he couldn't suppress his fear in the face of death. Thus, disregarding his dignity, he actually began to plead for his life.
Seeing Huang Tian's pathetic state, the experts of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan looked at each other, their faces filled with both shame and fear.
As the second-ranked super beast clan in the Beast Region, when had their Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan ever suffered such humiliation? Even when facing their mortal enemies, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, they had never bowed their heads. Yet today, under the absolute strength of Mo Yu and Cai Lin, they were forced into utter despair and terror.
If given another chance, these experts of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan would rather die than come here. At this moment, deep regret surged within them.
"You want to live? In that case, I'll spare your life."
Seeing Huang Tian beg for mercy, Mo Yu's eyes flickered before a faint smirk appeared on his lips. The next moment, a strange and mysterious black lightning suddenly surged from Mo Yu's body and shot into Huang Tian's body.
Given Huang Tian's current state, he was naturally unable to resist the soul invasion of the Black Lotus Soul Thunder. Moments later, accompanied by a shrill scream, a strange black lotus slowly emerged from Huang Tian's forehead, flickering in and out of sight.
"As expected of a Five-Star Dou Sheng, not that easy to control."
Noticing the unstable black lotus imprint on Huang Tian's forehead, Mo Yu frowned slightly. The reason he chose to spare Huang Tian's life wasn't out of mercy but to enslave and control him.
After all, even among the eight ancient clans, a Five-Star Dou Sheng was considered a monstrous existence, a strategic-level powerhouse. While Yuan Manor boasted numerous Dou Sheng experts, most were low-tier Dou Sheng Thunder Slaves meant to bolster numbers—the true top-tier battle strength was still lacking.
Even Xiao Yan's Sky Mansion Alliance, with Xiao Chen—the ancient ancestor of the Xiao Clan—sitting at the helm, had stronger peak combat power than Yuan Manor. Therefore, acquiring Huang Tian would be an important reinforcement for Yuan Manor's high-end strength.
Moreover, Huang Tian was the Patriach of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. If he could be controlled without anyone noticing, Yuan Manor could then take over the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, significantly expanding its influence.
However, while Mo Yu had grand plans, controlling a Five-Star Dou Sheng late-stage expert wasn't that easy—Huang Tian was even stronger than the Chief of the Hall of Souls. Even though he was heavily injured, enslaving him wouldn't be that simple.
Fortunately, this battle had provided Mo Yu the perfect opportunity. By imprinting the Black Lotus Seal onto Huang Tian's forehead, he could gradually deepen its control over time, eventually fully enslaving this Five-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse.
After completing this step, Mo Yu used the Thunder Seal to suppress Huang Tian's Dou Qi before tossing him into the Beast Ring.
Watching Huang Tian suddenly disappear before Mo Yu, the remaining Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan experts were filled with both horror and fury. However, before they could react, Mo Yu's next words sent them into utter despair.
"Those of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan—surrender, or be executed without mercy!"
A simple, indifferent statement, yet it carried an overwhelming killing intent.
As Mo Yu's words fell, the countless experts of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, led by Yao Ming, immediately surrounded the remaining members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
One hostile gaze after another locked onto the terrified Heavenly Demon Phoenix experts, and an intense killing aura erupted from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan's ranks, surging straight into the skies!
Feeling the oppressive killing intent and the tightening encirclement, many of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix experts couldn't help but gulp. The once-arrogant and proud expressions vanished entirely, replaced by deep fear.
At some point, one of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix experts suddenly dropped his weapon, raising both hands in a gesture of surrender with a panicked expression.
Like a plague, this scene spread. One after another, the remaining Heavenly Demon Phoenix experts, unwilling as they were, let go of their weapons and surrendered to Mo Yu.
Only a small portion of them, unable to accept such humiliation, glared at Mo Yu with eyes full of hatred. Their expressions turned savage as they suddenly charged forward, violent Dou Qi fluctuations erupting from their bodies—they intended to self-destruct in an attempt to take Mo Yu down with them.
However, before they could even get close, Yao Ming intercepted them one by one, effortlessly suppressing them. The idea of perishing together with Mo Yu was nothing more than wishful thinking.
Seeing their resolve, Mo Yu felt a slight admiration. However, their paths were different—he was the victor now, and the victor had the power and the right to dictate everything.
"Yao Ming, I'll leave this to you. Capture all the surrendered Heavenly Demon Phoenix members—I'll have use for them later."
"Also, while Huang Tian and the clan's elites are out here, personally lead an expedition to their headquarters. Destroy their base, and anyone who resists… kill them all."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, the surrounding Beast Region experts gasped sharply.
This was a move to utterly eradicate the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan—one of the Beast Region's three great super clans!
Despite his young age, this Mo Yu was ruthless and decisive, leaving no room for errors.
"Yes, Manor Lord!"
Yao Ming naturally responded respectfully to Mo Yu's command, and the other experts of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan were equally enthusiastic.
Huang Tian had led a mighty force to crush the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, trampling on their Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan's dignity. But in just half a day, the tides had turned. Now, it was their turn to march on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's territory.
With everything settled, there was no reason to linger. Mo Yu and Cai Lin exchanged a glance before he spoke, "You've been in seclusion for so long. You must miss home. Let me take you back to Yuan Manor."
Hearing this, a soft smile curved on Cai Lin's delicate lips. She gently nodded.
Although she was the Queen of the Serpent Empire, at this moment, she valued her identity as Mo Yu's wife even more. Compared to the Serpent Empire of the Northwestern Region, the Yuan Manor where Mo Yu resided was her true home.
"Let's go."
With a slight smile, Mo Yu struck out with his palm, directly tearing apart the space before him. Without saying much, he moved swiftly and entered the void. Behind him, Cai Lin and the other two women closely followed.
As they watched Mo Yu and the others depart, the powerful figures of the Beast Region present couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts. This young man from Central Plains was truly terrifying. Despite his lean physique, he gave off an oppressive aura akin to a mountain pressing down on them.
...
Upon returning to Yuan Manor, the place became livelier due to Cai Lin's return. After hearing the accounts from Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, everyone in Yuan Manor's upper ranks was astonished by Cai Lin's immense strength.
No one had expected that the legendary Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python would reappear on the continent. Furthermore, she was so powerful that even the mighty Patriach of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Huang Tian, a late-stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, was utterly defeated in a single exchange.
At this realization, cheers erupted throughout Yuan Manor. After all, Cai Lin was one of the Mistresses of Yuan Manor, and her strength only served to enhance the standing of Yuan Manor.
Given that Yuan Manor now dominated the Central Plains, news of Cai Lin's feats would undoubtedly deter those harboring ill intentions and significantly elevate Yuan Manor's prestige.
Among those most elated was undoubtedly She Lao. The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was a being far nobler than even the Nine-Winged Purple Gold Serpent. Her presence was crucial to the growth of the Snake-people Clan.
If Mo Yu and Cai Lin could conceive offspring and pass down the bloodline of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, the Snake-people Clan might even surpass one of the three great super clans of the Beast Region—the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan.
While everyone was celebrating the continuous rise of Yuan Manor, three months passed peacefully.
During these months, there were no further reports concerning the Hall of Souls. The intense clashes of the past had suddenly diminished by countless times. It was as if the once-dominant force of the Central Plains was deliberately fading from the public eye.
However, Yuan Manor's upper ranks remained deeply vigilant against this unusual behavior from the Hall of Souls.
Having clashed with them for so many years, Yuan Manor's high-ranking members knew their nature all too well. There was no way they would believe that such a sinister force would simply give up after suffering such great losses.
Yet, despite dispatching numerous spies to investigate, they failed to obtain any valuable intelligence.
This only deepened their confusion and heightened their vigilance. The Hall of Souls' eerie silence gave them an unsettling premonition, as if a great storm was brewing.
Only Mo Yu seemed to have guessed something. Taking advantage of their alliance, he continuously poached talents from the Yao Clan.
At the same time, over these three months, through the continuous reinforcement of the Black Lotus Soul Thunder, Mo Yu finally gained complete control over Huang Tian, the Five-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse.
After securing control over Huang Tian, Mo Yu immediately ordered him to return to the Beast Region and persuade his subordinates to join Yuan Manor.
This move turned out to be the right one. As the Patriach of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Huang Tian had held this position for over a thousand years and commanded immense prestige.
Furthermore, after witnessing Mo Yu's overwhelming strength firsthand, the powerhouses of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan realized that resistance was futile. Under Huang Tian's example, they abandoned their past grudges and one by one pledged allegiance to Yuan Manor.
Although the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan wasn't as powerful as the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, after Zhu Kun's disappearance, they had been faintly regarded as the number one force in the Beast Region. Now, with their integration into Yuan Manor, the latter's strength soared once again.
The annexation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan caused an immense stir across both the Central Plains and the Beast Region. No one had anticipated that the clan, once considered the strongest faction in the Beast Region, would join a human force.
What was even more shocking was that this human force happened to be none other than Yuan Manor, with whom they had deep-seated enmity.
Yet, regardless of the speculations from the outside world, the integration of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan into Yuan Manor was an unstoppable process. From that day on, Yuan Manor gained a new faction—Demon Phoenix Hall. As for its Hall Master, it was naturally none other than the Patriach of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Huang Tian.
However, the establishment of Demon Phoenix Hall did not go entirely smoothly. After all, there was considerable enmity between Mo Yu and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Such grudges couldn't be resolved with just a few words.
Additionally, due to prior conflicts, the members of Ground Python Hall—the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan—frequently clashed with those of Demon Phoenix Hall. As a result, Yuan Manor was thrown into disarray for a time.
Fortunately, Mo Yu noticed the issue in time and summoned both Huang Tian and Yao Ming. Declaring that their lack of discipline was unacceptable, he publicly punished them in front of tens of thousands of members from both Ground Python Hall and Demon Phoenix Hall.
High above Yuan City, wielding the Thunder Authority Staff, Mo Yu ruthlessly lashed the two men dozens of times. Their backs were torn open, fresh blood dripping down.
This display of harsh discipline immediately stunned both factions into submission.
After all, if even esteemed Dou Sheng experts like Huang Tian and Yao Ming were subjected to such severe punishment, how could ordinary members dare to provoke the fury of their Palace Master?
Unexpectedly, this move brought about an unforeseen benefit. Mo Yu's strict yet fair punishment not only intimidated the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan but also gradually won over their loyalty.
After this incident, the members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan became significantly less resistant to their new status within Yuan Manor and even began cooperating proactively.
After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigned supreme. Yuan Manor, as the ruler of the Central Plains, not only boasted unparalleled power but also offered incredibly generous benefits.
Even those from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, who had seen their fair share of the world, now truly understood the advantages of relying on a powerful backer.
As the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was gradually integrated into Yuan Manor's system, one day, Mo Yu received a message from Zi Yan. She had successfully convinced the elders of her clan to form an alliance with Yuan Manor.
This news naturally delighted the upper ranks of Yuan Manor. The Ancient Void Dragon Clan was still regarded as a formidable and mysterious force by many strong individuals across the Central Plains.
Back in their prime, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's dominance had left an unforgettable mark on history. For Yuan Manor, an alliance with them was undoubtedly an earth-shattering development.
Upon receiving this message from Zi Yan, Mo Yu smiled lightly and then turned to She Lao. As if recalling something, he said in a calm voice,
"She Lao, the Yao Clan's Medicinal Ceremony should be happening soon, right?"
Hearing this, She Lao was briefly taken aback. After a moment of recollection, he nodded and said,
"That's right. It should be in about a month. Also, the Yao Clan has extended an invitation to Hall Master Gu He."
