"Mo Yu, stop!"

As this urgent shout echoed, a black long blade, carrying an overwhelming force, flew swiftly toward Mo Yu.

Sensing the sharp whistle of wind and the powerful energy coming from his right, Mo Yu's brows furrowed slightly. He couldn't tell whether the newcomer was friend or foe, but their strength was undoubtedly formidable, likely having reached the Dou Ling level.

Glancing at the Little Beast King, a cold glint flashed through Mo Yu's eyes. The opponent had been struck by his Extreme Thunder Lightning, and even if he didn't kill him, the terrifying power of the thunder lingering in his mind would torment him for the rest of his life, preventing any further advancement in cultivation.

With that thought, the killing intent in Mo Yu's heart slightly eased. His long spear swiftly spun as he redirected the attack toward the incoming black blade.

The collision of spear and blade produced a crisp metallic ring. Although the newcomer was indeed a Dou Ling expert, it was clear that they hadn't used their full strength.

After being pushed back five or six steps by the powerful force on the blade, Mo Yu managed to stabilize himself. He quickly dissipated the remaining force on his spear and turned to see a middle-aged man clad in black armor approaching from the depths of the street.

As the man appeared, several hundred fully armed elite soldiers poured out from the dark city wall passage nearby, surrounding the area. Their sharp spears gleamed coldly under the sunlight.

"It's Lord Fei Xiang, the city lord, and the city guards."

"This Mo Yu dared to try and kill the Little Beast King. The city lord will definitely arrest him."

"That might not be the case. Didn't you notice Mo Yu's purple robe? That signifies he's from the Weapon Refiner's Branch, meaning his background is not simple. And Lord Fei Xiang has a strong background too. His sister is the current emperor's concubine. You all know the relationship between the empire and Mu Lan Valley. The city lord might not assist Mu Lan Valley."

…

Hearing the nearby chatter, Mo Yu turned his gaze toward the middle-aged man. He hadn't expected this person to be the city lord of Beast Wasteland City.

Mo Yu's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, instantly discerning the city lord's true strength—a genuine three-star Dou Ling. Far stronger than the three from the Little Beast King's side, who only barely reached Dou Ling with their Three Beast Savage Technique.

Even though Mo Yu was a monstrous talent, unless he used his soul power, it would be impossible for him to defeat a Dou Ling with just his five-star Da Dou Shi strength.

However, after hearing about the man's background and delayed appearance, Mo Yu realized that perhaps he wouldn't need to resort to force to leave.

"Fei Xiang, send someone to capture this little bastard! Mu Lan Valley will not treat you poorly!"

The Little Beast King, who had been severely injured by Mo Yu's Extreme Thunder Lightning, causing the Three Beast Savage Technique to deactivate, shouted urgently at the black-armored man. His tiger-headed companion stared at Mo Yu in shock.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned slightly. As the lord of Beast Wasteland City, though the Little Beast King had some status, addressing him by name and giving him orders was an insult to the empire.

But recalling the increasing power of Mu Lan Valley over the years and the decline of the royal family, he sighed internally.

"You're Mo Yu, right? Don't worry. You're from the Weapon Refiner's Branch, and the empire remains neutral in your feud with Mu Lan Valley. You can leave, but you cannot kill the Little Beast King."

The middle-aged man cast a deep glance at Mo Yu and then pointed at the Little Beast King.

He had been secretly observing the battle for a long time and was quite pleased to see someone striking a blow against the arrogance of Mu Lan Valley. As a supporter of the royal family, he naturally welcomed this.

Even so, he hadn't expected Mo Yu to actually defeat the three of them. They had nearly reached Dou Ling level! For someone so young to achieve such a feat, his future accomplishments were bound to be immense.

Therefore, he chose to let Mo Yu go, hoping to build a favorable relationship. However, the Little Beast King must not die, or at least not on his turf.

As the grandson of one of the Three Elders of Mu Lan Valley, Elder Lion, if the Little Beast King were to die here, even as the emperor's brother-in-law, Fei Xiang wouldn't escape execution.

"Thank you, City Lord Fei Xiang." Seeing the city lord's goodwill, Mo Yu smiled politely, understanding his difficult position.

Though he hadn't killed the Little Beast King, his Extreme Thunder Lightning had caused immense suffering, and in the future, Mo Yu's strength would only continue to rise, forcing his enemies to look up to him.

"There's no need to thank me. I'm only doing my duty. But you'd better leave the Mu Lan Empire quickly. If the royal family…"

Fei Xiang waved his hand, offering a bitter smile.

"Fei Xiang, what are you doing? Mo Yu is a wanted criminal of Mu Lan Valley! How dare you let him go? Aren't you afraid of offending us?"

The tiger-headed youth shouted angrily.

With a darkened expression, Fei Xiang coldly replied, "You say Mo Yu is a wanted criminal of Mu Lan Valley, but he's not a criminal of the empire. I only know that he is from the Weapon Refiner's Branch. If you have issues, don't drag me into it!"

After speaking, Fei Xiang gestured for the hundreds of elite soldiers to withdraw, and he himself also left the scene.

Seeing this, the tiger-headed youth and his companion exchanged glances, filled with resentment and unwillingness. They shot Mo Yu a final glare before helping the still-suffering Little Beast King and fleeing the area.

Without Fei Xiang and the city guards, they knew they were no match for Mo Yu.

Moreover, given how ruthless Mo Yu had been in attempting to kill the Little Beast King, they realized they might have been in danger if they had stayed any longer.

As the Little Beast King and his group left, the once-tense atmosphere gradually relaxed.

After this fierce battle, Mo Yu's name would surely spread throughout the Mu Lan Empire. Those who sought to capture him to curry favor with Mu Lan Valley would now have to seriously reconsider the consequences of offending such a genius.

Witnessing this, Mu Qing's expression darkened. He hadn't expected even the next generation of Mu Lan's Three Elders to fail in handling Mo Yu.

This child was indeed a threat!

After casting a resentful glance at Mo Yu, Mu Qing turned to leave as well. Even if he acted personally, with Lan Yingying protecting Mo Yu, there was nothing he could do.

As an weapon refiner, Mu Qing wasn't skilled in combat. Someone like Mo Yu, who was proficient in both, was a rare anomaly.

With the battle over, the crowd was still buzzing with excitement. Word of the events began spreading rapidly throughout the city.

Unbeknownst to Mo Yu, Lan Yingying had approached him at some point. Her beautiful eyes gazed at him, and she smiled sweetly, "I didn't expect my junior apprentice to be so skilled. It's rare to see an weapon refiner your age with such strength and technique."

Hearing Lan Yingying's praise, Mo Yu remained calm, saying lightly, "Senior sister, you flatter me. I'm just learning step by step. Compared to the geniuses of the Central Plains, I'm far behind."

According to Mo Yu's knowledge, among the eight ancient clans of the Central Plains, except for the fallen Xiao Clan, the younger generation of every clan had long surpassed the Dou Wang and Dou Huang realms. Compared to them, the Little Beast King wasn't even worthy of being a side character.

Seeing Mo Yu's modest demeanor, Lan Yingying's eyes flashed with surprise once again.

Talented individuals were not uncommon on the Dou Qi Continent, and countless geniuses emerged every year. The Central Plains, in particular, was a cradle for talents, producing some of the greatest prodigies.

However, for Mo Yu, who resided in such a remote place, to have such a clear understanding of himself, unaffected by the outside world, and firmly committed to his own path, was exceedingly rare.

With both talent and determination, as long as he doesn't fall, he might really make a name for himself in Central Plains one day.

"Mo Yu, stop chatting. There's a few Dou Ling auras far to the left, most likely people from Mu Lan Valley. Take this chance and get out of here." At this moment, She Lao's voice suddenly sounded in Mo Yu's mind.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu was startled. His silver eyes shifted slightly to the left, and his powerful soul perception allowed him to vaguely sense several strong presences gradually approaching from that direction.

"Sorry, Senior Sister Lan, I have to go. If I don't leave now, the people from Mu Lan Valley will entangle me again." Mo Yu touched his nose with a bitter smile.

Lan Yingying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she also sensed something from the distance to the left. With a sigh, she said, "Sigh, most of the experts from our Weapon Alliance are in Central Plains. I can't offer you much help here on the Northwest Continent.

"From now on, Junior Brother, be more careful. I'll be waiting for you in Central Plains."

"Yes, Senior Sister Lan. I will definitely go to Central Plains."

Nodding, Mo Yu began circulating his dou qi. The purple wing patterns on his back trembled slightly, and a pair of dou qi wings emerged behind him.

Since his identity had already been exposed, Mo Yu no longer bothered to hide. He directly used the Purple Cloud Wings and flew toward the outskirts of the city.

Seeing the dou qi wings behind Mo Yu, Lan Yingying and the surrounding audience couldn't help but feel shocked again. Although they had heard of the young man possessing a pair of purple dou qi wings, witnessing it firsthand was still awe-inspiring.

After all, dou qi wings were a technique that only experts above the Dou Wang level could possess.

"Senior Sister Lan, we will meet again someday."

Once he activated the Purple Cloud Wings, Mo Yu leaped into the sky, soaring above like a deity looking down upon the world. With a light smile, he glanced at Lan Yingying below.

After speaking, Mo Yu's purple wings, laced with red lightning, flapped gently. In a flash of lightning, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Watching Mo Yu's gradually retreating figure, Lan Yingying's beautiful eyes softened as she whispered, "Junior Brother, I will wait for you in Central Plains. By then, you'll surely surprise everyone again..."

With Mo Yu's departure, the Beast Wasteland City slowly descended into silence. About ten minutes later, nearly ten shadows shot down from a giant black eagle in the sky.

Several figures, armed with swords and scanning the surroundings solemnly, saw that the young man had long since disappeared. Their faces contorted with frustration.

"We rushed here as soon as we got the intel, yet he still managed to escape!"

After muttering a few curses, one of them glanced in the direction Mo Yu had left and pondered for a moment before coldly stating, "Report to the elder. Mo Yu is flying westward and is likely attempting to flee to the Jia Ma Empire. We should station heavy troops at the Mountain River Pass to ensure he doesn't get through!"

Hearing this, a Mu Lan Valley disciple quickly responded. He then pulled out a carrier pigeon, wrote a letter, and tossed the bird into the distance.

The carrier pigeon took to the sky and quickly disappeared from sight...

At this moment, after leaving Beast Wasteland City, Mo Yu continued flying for half a day before finally stopping in a dense forest filled with towering trees.

The forest was quiet, save for the occasional distant low roar of some unknown magical beast, echoing through the woods.

Swish

In the quiet forest, a bush suddenly rustled. A black figure shot out, lightly tapping on a protruding branch and leaping onto a tree trunk several meters above the ground. His sharp gaze scanned below like an eagle.

This person was none other than Mo Yu.

After leaving Beast Wasteland City, Mo Yu knew his whereabouts had been exposed. To avoid further trouble, he had deliberately taken a small path, ending up in an unknown mountain range.

The trip to Beast Wasteland City had not only provided crucial information but also given him valuable battle experience, sharpening his skills.

Although he was being hunted, Mo Yu wasn't in a hurry. He chose to find a secluded place to go into seclusion and advance his Flash Void Breaking Thunder to its second stage.

Scanning his surroundings again, Mo Yu still couldn't find an ideal hiding spot. He frowned slightly, shook his head, and lightly tapped his foot on the tree trunk. His body, like a bat spreading its wings, flew through the forest, continuing his search for a suitable hiding place.

In this forest filled with massive trees and magical beasts, finding a safe and undisturbed hiding place was no easy task. However, Mo Yu's luck was good. As the sky darkened, he finally found a suitable location.

After passing through a large patch of dense woods, a dangerous ravine nearly ten meters wide appeared in his sight.

Walking slowly toward the spacious cave within, Mo Yu frowned slightly at the faint stench lingering in the air, but being pursued by Mu Lan Valley left him no time to care about such trivial matters.

With a flick of his finger, several moonlight stones shot out from his storage ring and embedded themselves into the crevices of the cave walls. Instantly, the dim light illuminated the entire cave.

Glancing at the illuminated cave interior, Mo Yu took another look at the darkening sky outside. After pondering for a moment, he pushed a large stone toward the cave entrance, blocking most of it. This way, the cave's lit entrance wouldn't be too conspicuous in the dark.

After finishing these preparations, Mo Yu let out a long sigh of relief. The exhaustion of nearly a full day of flying slowly crept up from within, making his eyelids grow heavy.

"It's not time to rest yet." Quickly opening his eyes, Mo Yu smiled bitterly. He took a few steps back and found a clean stone platform to sit on cross-legged.

Once seated, Mo Yu retrieved two items from his storage ring.

They were the Na Stone and the Fire Beads.
