Yuan Yi… is dead!? 

Seeing Yuan Yi, who had been struck down with a thunderous blow, the people of Mo City all drew in a sharp breath.

No one had expected that just as the struggle between the two major forces was gradually subsiding, Yuan Yi, who was guarding the rear, would be struck down by the Fire Yue Puppet in the blink of an eye.

Though Yuan Yi's strength in the battle between the two forces was almost at the bottom, he was still one of the top ten fighters on the Black Ranking!

Yet, such a powerful Dou Huang expert, renowned in the Black Corner Region, was unexpectedly and completely unprepared to die right in front of everyone.

"Mo Yu, you!"

Looking at the black lotus-shaped thunder floating in Mo Yu's hand, Han Feng's expression froze for a moment before becoming incredibly grim. He then coldly shouted, "Are you looking to continue the war with the Black Alliance?"

As Han Feng's voice fell, the Black Alliance experts behind him once again erupted with intense Dou Qi, their eyes full of hostility as they glared at the Yuan Manor camp.

On the other side, Mo Yu, who had trapped Yuan Yi's soul with the Black Lotus Soul Thunder, didn't rush to refine it. After putting away the Thunder Soul, he looked up at Han Feng and sneered.

"Did the Alliance Leader Han forget that it was you who caused trouble in Mo City first? Now you want to leave unscathed? It's not that easy. The life of a Dou Huang is just interest. If you dare act again next time, the Black Alliance will no longer have a reason to exist!" Mo Yu mocked coldly.

With the help of the Black Lotus Soul Thunder, the Yuan Manor would only grow stronger in the future. On the other hand, the Black Alliance had reached its limits. Even if Han Feng managed to escape this time, Mo Yu was confident that he could destroy the Black Alliance within two years!

"You!"

Hearing Mo Yu's threat, Han Feng's expression darkened. He recalled how a few days ago, when he defeated the Black Alliance at the Jia Nan Academy, he had been so full of confidence. Yet in just a few days, the Yuan Manor had risen above him.

More importantly, Mo Yu's methods were bizarre, catching him completely off guard.

Just now, the aura from that Black Lotus Soul Thunder reminded him of the strange presence from the mysterious force in Central Plains. Even Mo Yu's interest in souls seemed to mirror that of the forces from there.

Thinking about the terror of that force, Han Feng couldn't help but shiver.

"Mo Yu, don't get too smug. The Black Alliance will settle this debt eventually!"

With a venomous glance at Mo Yu, Han Feng waved his hand, and the Black Alliance members behind him vanished in a few flashes, disappearing into the vast Mo City under the gaze of countless eyes.

Watching the Black Alliance gradually disappear in the distance, a trace of coldness flickered in Mo Yu's silver eyes. After a moment, he suppressed his killing intent and turned to face Su Qian.

"Thank you for arriving in time, Grand Elder. Otherwise, the Yuan Manor might have severely weakened this time," Mo Yu said, cupping his hands in gratitude.

Su Qian's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the now formidable Yuan Manor. His eyes turned to Mo Yu, and with a wry shake of his head, he said, "You, kid, managed to make the Yuan Manor this strong without anyone noticing. Not only did you deceive Han Feng, but even I was fooled. If I didn't know your background, I would almost suspect you were the illegitimate son of some powerful faction in Central Plains."

Hearing this, Mo Yu froze for a moment before letting out a bitter laugh. "Grand Elder, you jest. I don't have such a background, just a few special methods."

"Haha, in that case, I'm relieved. The Black Corner Region is chaotic; just make sure you can handle it." Seeing that Mo Yu was unwilling to say more, Su Qian was not the type to pry. He patted his shoulder and added, "You should be fine."

"Mm." Mo Yu nodded.

"By the way, since your trump card is already exposed, you should be careful of Han Feng and the Black Alliance moving forward. Don't underestimate the influence of a Sixth-grade Alchemist. If he's willing, it's easy for him to recruit a few Dou Huang or even Dou Zong experts. Don't forget, Han Feng is a disciple of that big shot.

And if we're talking about it, Elder Ying Shan will likely be pulled into the Black Alliance soon. When that happens, you and I will need to work together," Su Qian reminded softly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Grand Elder," Mo Yu said calmly, though he felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

The more strong experts the Black Alliance recruited, the more souls he could devour in the coming battle, and the faster the Black Lotus Soul Thunder would grow...

Seeing Mo Yu's calm expression, Su Qian couldn't help but smile wryly. He seemed to remember something and chuckled, "By the way, the inner academy students you requested will arrive soon. You can arrange them as you see fit. The academy has high expectations for your Yuan Manor now."

With that, Su Qian turned and slowly left the city, heading toward the academy.

Watching Su Qian's retreating figure, Mo Yu smiled, then gave some instructions to Xiao Li and the others before entering his private chamber to begin refining Yuan Yi's soul.

As the third-ranked Thunder Soul, the Black Lotus Soul Thunder's growth was not only aided by rare objects that enhanced soul power but could directly devour the souls of strong experts!

Compared to other sources of power, the Black Lotus Soul Thunder preferred the souls of powerful warriors.

Yuan Yi, a Dou Huang expert with a soul power at the fifth-grade, wasn't very high but was more than enough to satisfy the Black Lotus Soul Thunder's hunger.

Two days later, when Mo Yu emerged from his private chamber, the vast hall was completely empty. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised, before smiling bitterly and shaking his head.

Finding a spot, he sat down in a soft chair and exhaled in relief. The recent flurry of activity had left him a little tired.

Although exhausted, the results were satisfying. After devouring Yuan Yi's soul, the Black Lotus Soul Thunder had grown significantly.

Moreover, the soul power feedback from the Black Lotus Soul Thunder had also allowed Mo Yu's soul power to increase greatly, reaching the middle tier of the fifth-grade and balancing with his Dou Qi cultivation.

With both the Black Lotus Soul Thunder and Mo Yu's soul power breaking through, it was no longer a problem to enslave another Dou Huang expert.

Thinking this, a smile spread across Mo Yu's lips.

"Creak…"

Just as Mo Yu was resting his eyes, the door to the hall was suddenly pushed open. A tall, graceful figure cast a long shadow in the sunlight. The woman who opened the door was about to leave when she saw Mo Yu resting in the chair with his eyes closed.

Her eyes flashed with joy, but she hesitated, seemingly afraid of disturbing his rest. After a moment, she was about to withdraw.

"Hehe, why leave when you're already here?" A warm voice suddenly sounded, causing the woman to start and halt her retreat.

Looking up, she saw that Mo Yu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had opened them at some point and was now smiling at her.

"Are you done with your business?" Xiao Yu stood at the door, her eyes drifting around before softly asking.

"Done, don't worry," Mo Yu replied, standing up and pulling Xiao Yu into his embrace. Feeling the soft sensation of her body and the fragrant scent in the air, a surge of heat rose in his heart, which he quickly suppressed.

Startled by the sudden closeness, Xiao Yu froze for a moment. She hesitated, but then leaned into Mo Yu's embrace willingly. Her long, alluring legs slightly together, gleaming in the light.

After a while, feeling that Mo Yu had stopped moving, Xiao Yu puffed her lips slightly and turned her head to gaze at the familiar face with a subtle smile.

She recalled the clan's coming-of-age ceremony. The young man from the Xiao Clan, who had once made a name for himself, had now grown into an existence so powerful that even the entire Xiao Clan could not reach his heights.

With a handsome and otherworldly face, combined with those mysterious silver eyes, his smile, calm and unhurried like a gentle breeze, brought an inexplicable sense of peace to one's heart.

"Why are you here? The Black Corner Region is far more dangerous than the inner academy." Mo Yu broke the silence first, smiling as he asked.

Since emerging from the underground, this was his first time being alone with Xiao Yu. The last time he visited the Mo Gang, due to time constraints, he didn't have much of a chance to converse with Xiao Yu and the others.

"The Grand Elder said that Yuan Manor needs more hands, so he called on the inner academy students to join Yuan Manor. This would help expand Yuan Manor's influence to fight against the Black Alliance, and it would also help the students hone their skills."

Xiao Yu extended her arms, wrapping them around Mo Yu's neck, gazing deeply at him with a slightly surprised expression. "I really don't know how you did it. You actually created such a powerful force. When the Grand Elder brought this news back to the inner academy, everyone thought they had heard wrong. 

But then, it caused quite a stir in the inner academy. The Black Alliance has a huge grudge with our Jia Nan Academy. A lot of people look up to you because you almost destroyed the Black Alliance. 

As a result, a lot of students have come to join Yuan Manor. Thirty of the top fifty students in the current Strong List have joined, and even Moon Spirit and Pan Gate have almost emptied their ranks to join."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect so many inner academy students to join. With this, Yuan Manor's strength would indeed grow explosively.

"By the way, I heard from cousin Xiao Li that Xiao Yan... is still alive?" Xiao Yu's voice tightened with concern as she asked.

As one of the Xiao Clan's twin dragons alongside Mo Yu, and the youngest patriarch of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan's position in the family was very important, which was why Xiao Yu was so concerned.

"Mmm, cousin Xiao Yan is probably fine. He has special methods to resist the damage from heavenly flame. Once he reappears, he will likely receive unexpected benefits."

Mo Yu lightly smiled and nodded, recalling the events in the original storyline.

Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief and slowly said, "That's good. Now, the Xiao Clan is relying on you and Xiao Yan. Since Xiao Yan is fine, it's a blessing for the clan."

Xiao Yu nestled herself tightly against Mo Yu's chest. The next moment, as if recalling something, she lifted her head and said, "By the way, it seems cousin Xiao Li is looking for you. You should go see him."

"Oh?" Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, nodding slightly. After chatting with Xiao Yu for a while longer, he stood up and left the hall, heading to find Xiao Li.

"Cousin Xiao Li, do you need something?" In the Yuan Manor council hall, Mo Yu found him just in time, smiling as he asked.

"Manor Lord, you've finally come out of seclusion! These past few days, the mess in Mo City has really given us a hard time." Xiao Li walked down from the main seat and came to Mo Yu with a smile.

"How is Mo City doing now?" Mo Yu smiled and asked.

"It's doing very well. Perhaps because we defeated the Black Alliance, there are now very few people in the Black Corner Region who are making trouble for us. Some wealthy merchants have also set up shop in the city. 

Right now, Mo City's popularity must be ranking in the top three of the Black Corner Region. Thinking about the profits, in just a few months, even if my older brother and I ran our mercenary group for two years, we wouldn't make as much." Xiao Li shook his head, somewhat astonished.

Seeing Xiao Li's amazed expression, Mo Yu smiled. However, his gaze suddenly shifted to the three figures behind Xiao Li. He slightly raised an eyebrow. He could sense that these three were also strong at the Dou Wang level.

"Who are these three?"

"The Yao family's three brothers, greetings, Manor Lord!" Without waiting for Xiao Li's introduction, the three men who had been indifferent in expression suddenly bowed and saluted Mo Yu with great precision and respect.

"These three are siblings, all named Yao. Although they have never joined any force before, the three Dou Wang experts are still a powerful force. They have some reputation in the Black Corner Region. A few years ago, they offended the Golden and Silver Elders, and have been hiding ever since. I happened to discover them a few days ago, so I brought them into Yuan Manor." Xiao Li explained with a smile.

Mo Yu understood, recalling that in the original storyline, these three brothers also joined the Xiao Gate created by Xiao Li. He then smiled and nodded toward the three.

"Since you've joined Yuan Manor, we are naturally one family. As for the Golden and Silver Elders, don't worry. Those two old men probably won't have the courage to show up in Mo City. Even if the Black Alliance comes knocking, Yuan Manor isn't afraid of them."

Mo Yu didn't have a good relationship with the Golden and Silver Elders, so he didn't hesitate to welcome the three Dou Wang experts.

After all, to dominate the Black Corner Region, having more strong subordinates was better.

Hearing Mo Yu's words, a smile appeared on the faces of the Yao family's three brothers. Over the years, they had lived miserable lives. The reputation of the Golden and Silver Elders in the Black Corner Region was so great that many forces had dared not accept them, for fear of offending those two old immortals.

Particularly after hearing that the Golden and Silver Elders had joined the Black Alliance, which was now rising rapidly in the Black Corner Region, the three brothers had been terrified and on the run.

However, when they heard that the Black Alliance had actually been dealt a blow by a new force called Yuan Manor, the Yao brothers couldn't hold back and decided to seek refuge.

"Manor Lord, I'm the eldest of the three brothers. My previous name doesn't matter. From now on, if you need anything, just call us Yao Da, Yao Er, and Yao San." The eldest-looking man said respectfully to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu smiled and nodded in response to the simple names. Just as he turned his head, Xiao Li's next words made a trace of joy appear in his eyes.

"Manor Lord, we've received word about that the Sixth-Grade Soul-Type Magic Core!"
