"Sixth-grade Soul-Type Magic Core?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu was taken aback for a moment before a smile of joy appeared on his face. "Oh? Where did this intel come from?"

In Mo Yu's mind, he had never forgotten the task of crafting the Spirit-Merging Holy Chalice. After all, this was a crucial step in determining whether the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python could fully merge its soul.

Once the Sky Devouring Serpent manages to fuse its soul, not only will Mo Yu fulfill his promise, but he will also gain a powerful Dou Zong-level ally.

A fully soul-integrated Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python is not like She Lao, whose soul is nearly lost; it will have the strength to truly unleash its ancient bloodline.

In the original story, after Cai Lin fully took control of her body, even the Grand Elder Su Qian of the Inner Court, a three-star Dou Zong, admitted he was no match for her. This alone proves the immense power of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

With that said, even if the Black Alliance manages to invite Elder Ying Shan to join, Yuan Manor will still have the upper hand.

However, although most of the materials for crafting the Spirit-Merging Holy Chalice have been gathered, the most critical core material—the Sixth-grade Soul-Type Magic Core—has yet to be found.

Therefore, in recent days, apart from consolidating their control over Mo City and the surrounding Yan Sect's territory, Yuan Manor has been tirelessly searching for information on the Sixth-grade Soul-Type Magic Core under Mo Yu's orders.

What surprised Mo Yu, however, was how quickly this news had arrived.

Seeing Mo Yu's delighted expression, Xiao Li smiled lightly, but then seemed to recall something. His tone became a little more serious. "The Sixth-grade Soul-Type Magic Core has indeed been located. However, it is not within Yuan Manor's territory. To acquire it, we may need to go through some trouble. Perhaps it will require you to personally take action."

Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, Mo Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Since defeating the Black Alliance, Yuan Manor's power has grown significantly in the Black Corner Region. While not yet the dominant force, its influence is undeniable.

Thus, when Yuan Manor acts, the major factions of the Black Corner Region typically give them face. Although the Sixth-grade Soul-Type Magic Core is rare, Yuan Manor is not without resources.

Xiao Li's suggestion that Mo Yu personally intervene sparked Mo Yu's curiosity.

What kind of force in the Black Corner Region would be worth his personal involvement?

"Whose hands is the Sixth-grade Soul-Type Magic Core in?" Mo Yu quickly asked.

"The chief alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect, Qi Shan!"

"Black Emperor Sect, Qi Shan?"

Hearing these two names, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned, then his brows furrowed slightly.

These names were not unfamiliar to him. In the depths of his memory from the original story, the Black Emperor Sect was one of the hidden major forces in the Black Corner Region.

Qi Shan, as the chief alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect, was no weakling, on par with Han Feng as a Sixth-grade alchemist.

Mo Yu hadn't expected to be involved with the Black Emperor Sect so soon.

Rubbing his chin, Mo Yu said, "The Sixth-grade Soul-Type Magic Core is something I must obtain. In that case, I'll personally make a trip to Black Emperor City."

After Mo Yu spoke, the Yao brothers exchanged glances, and Yao Da suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Lord, we three have just joined Yuan Manor and haven't contributed much yet. How about we accompany you on this trip?"

Xiao Li, hearing this, also nodded with a smile. "That works well. Mo Yu, as the current head of Yuan Manor, when you go out, you represent the entire faction. Naturally, it would be good to show some authority. The Yao brothers are no weaklings, and you can instruct them as needed."

Mo Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he nodded.

Xiao Li was right. Since he had to deal with the Black Emperor Sect, he couldn't do everything himself; otherwise, he would risk being looked down upon by them.

After making arrangements, Mo Yu and the Yao brothers left Mo City swiftly and, following the map, flew toward the direction of Black Emperor City.

As local experts of the Black Corner Region, the Yao brothers had offended the Gold and Silver Elders and had to hide for many years. Thus, they were quite familiar with the terrain of the region.

After a day of non-stop travel, the four of them were gradually approaching the location of Black Emperor City.

As the evening sun began to set, at the end of a road shaded by trees, the massive silhouette of a city began to appear in the distance.

Standing on a slope, Mo Yu gazed at the towering city walls in the distance, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes.

The Black Emperor City truly lived up to its name. Its magnificent scale made the "Emperor" title feel appropriate. The long black city walls radiated a cold aura, and as the sunlight streamed down, the walls reflected a faint, mirror-like glow.

"So it's Black Mirror Stone. The Black Emperor Sect really is making a big show of things."

Mo Yu noticed that the city's walls were covered with a rare material—Black Mirror Stone. Walls made from this material were highly effective at reflecting certain attacks, making it an excellent choice for fortifications.

However, this material was extremely rare on the continent, and the Black Emperor Sect had covered their entire city walls with it. Such wealth and power were clearly far beyond the reach of a rising force like Yuan Manor.

"Lord, the Black Emperor Sect has stood in the Black Corner Region for decades. Their Sect Leader, Mo Tianxing, is known to be a Four-Star Dou Zong, and his reputation in the region is formidable.

However, the Black Emperor Sect is a commercial force, and their auction house in Black Emperor City is well-known across the continent. The Black Emperor Sect's style is one of diplomacy and peace. Now that Yuan Manor has defeated the Black Alliance and gained prestige in the region, I believe the Black Emperor Sect will give us some face." Yao Da spoke respectfully.

Mo Yu nodded slightly in response.

From the original story, he knew that Mo Tianxing, the Sect Leader of the Black Emperor Sect, was a calm and calculating person. Moreover, Mo Yu was carrying the Fire Yao Puppet with him, so even if the transaction failed, he was confident he could retreat unscathed.

"Let's go."

Mo Yu waved his hand to the Yao brothers and then led the way toward the city gates.

The Yao brothers followed closely behind. However, their presence immediately attracted the attention of many onlookers.

The Yao brothers exchanged a cold glance with those nearby, and their dangerous aura made the onlookers instinctively avert their gazes, retreating slightly.

Sensing the quickly withdrawn gazes, the Yao brothers snorted coldly. They had been in the Black Corner Region long enough to know exactly what these people were thinking.

They were merely drawn to the unfamiliar faces, hoping to make a profit from them.

But they didn't realize that the seemingly ordinary youth before them was the newly risen leader of Yuan Manor!

It was only these blind fools who would target such an influential figure in the Black Corner Region.

As Mo Yu and the others walked on, the coldness around them slowly dissipated. Many people, realizing their mistake, wiped the cold sweat from their brows, realizing that they had just encountered someone far from ordinary.

With three Dou Wang-level experts following Mo Yu, it was clear that the silver-eyed youth at the front was no simple figure.

Fortunately, they hadn't dared to step forward and harass them; otherwise, they would likely have lost their lives by now.

Several onlookers recalled something at that moment.

The silver-eyed youth... could it be?

Ignoring the curious gazes, Mo Yu and his companions made their way directly to a purple gate at the city entrance.

At the gate stood over a dozen muscular men in light yellow armor. Their imposing auras caused the people lining up nearby to step back and wait in silence.

Mo Yu's group was clearly heading toward this purple gate, and the onlookers could not help but look at them in surprise.

This gate was reserved for powerful figures within the Black Corner Region, and only those at least at the Dou Huang level were allowed to pass. The youth before them seemed no older than twenty; could he really be one of these powerful figures?

Under the intense gaze of the crowd, Mo Yu and the Yao brothers halted in front of the purple gate. The dozen or so armored men turned their sharp eyes toward them, and then a cheerful, elderly voice rang out from behind.

"Heh heh, friends, this place is specially designated for Dou Huang level experts. If you don't meet the requirements, please take another path." A yellow-robed old man, holding a smoking pipe, walked out slowly. His keen eyes swept over Mo Yu and the others, and with a smiling expression, he spoke.

"With your strength barely reaching a five-star Dou Wang, how can you tell if we're Dou Huang level experts?" Mo Yu glanced at the old man, speaking with a playful tone.

The yellow-robed old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to speak when his gaze suddenly froze, scanning behind Mo Yu in surprise. Upon seeing the Yao clan's three brothers, his expression changed to one of astonishment. "So, it's the Yao clan's three brothers. What's this? Weren't you being pursued by the Gold and Silver Elders? Why do you have time to visit my Black Emperor City?"

The Yao clan's three brothers were all at the Dou Wang level and had quite a reputation in the Black Corner Region, so the yellow-robed old man easily recognized them.

"Hmph, those two old fools, Gold and Silver, are just like a couple of crazed dogs chasing us. Now that the Yao clan's three brothers have joined Yuan Manor, we're no longer afraid of those two pesky old fools!" Yao Da spoke angrily.

"Oh? You've joined Yuan Manor?" The yellow-robed old man was momentarily stunned, then recalled the recent battle between Yuan Manor and the Black Alliance.

After defeating the Black Alliance, Yuan Manor had become extremely well-known in the Black Corner Region.

The yellow-robed old man's eyes flickered slightly, and at this moment, he noticed the striking silver eyes of Mo Yu. With surprise, he asked, "Could this young friend be Mo Yu, the head of Yuan Manor?"

"Mhm." Mo Yu casually nodded, then frowned slightly and asked, "Can we enter?"

"Of course, of course." The yellow-robed old man quickly nodded. The head of Yuan Manor was someone who almost stood side by side with their sect leader, so they had to be careful.

Taking out a green-colored waist token from his storage ring, the yellow-robed old man handed it to Mo Yu respectfully. "Head of Yuan Manor, Black Emperor City is currently overcrowded, and finding a place to stay is quite difficult. However, our Black Emperor Sect has special accommodations prepared for strong experts from the Black Corner Region."

"As long as you take this token to the 'Black Emperor Pavilion' at the city center, someone will arrange a place for you to rest. Most of the people who stay there are powerful figures in the Black Corner Region."

Yao Da quickly took the token, smiled slightly at the yellow-robed old man, and then the group walked slowly into the purple gate.

After watching Mo Yu's departing figure, the yellow-robed old man narrowed his eyes and instructed his attendant, "Go, immediately inform the sect leader. A distinguished guest has arrived…"

Later, when Mo Yu and his group arrived at the Black Emperor Pavilion, the place was already bustling with activity. The people gathered here were all experts of considerable strength.

"No wonder this is the place designated for receiving powerful experts. Everyone here really isn't just any ordinary person." Mo Yu mused as he surveyed the people around him.

His silver eyes swept over the crowd, and he raised an eyebrow. In the short distance of less than a hundred meters, he could sense two Dou Huang and seven Dou Wang-level experts.

Naturally, there were also some weaker experts, likely the subordinates or followers of powerful factions, just like the Yao clan's three brothers.

Near the Black Emperor Pavilion, there was a human wall formed by the sect's guards. In the center of the open space, a blue-robed old man stood smiling.

This person seemed to hold a prominent position within the Black Emperor Sect. The various powerful experts passing by would smile and greet him before entering the pavilion.

Mo Yu and his group followed behind some of the others. Just as they were about to enter, the blue-robed old man stepped forward with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the group, and he politely asked, "May I ask if you have the token to enter the Black Emperor Sect?"

Mo Yu's gaze flicked over the blue-robed old man, and he realized that the man was also a Dou Huang-level expert, likely at least six or seven stars. Such strength was enough to be considered a well-known figure in the Black Corner Region.

As Mo Yu quietly assessed him, Yao Da quickly took out the token given to them by the previous old man at the city gate and handed it to the blue-robed elder.

After examining the token, the blue-robed old man was about to speak when one of his subordinates hurried over and whispered something in his ear. After hearing the report, the blue-robed old man's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Mo Yu, and after a moment, he waved his hand to dismiss the subordinate and smiled warmly.

"Didn't expect the head of Yuan Manor to visit. A rare guest indeed. I am the Black Emperor Sect elder, Che Cheng. May I ask the purpose of your visit to our sect?"

"Heh, just a small matter. I need to ask your sect's chief alchemist for a favor." Mo Yu responded, his face calm as he gave a faint smile, sensing the old man's scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh, you seek Old Qi?" The blue-robed old man's brows furrowed slightly, though his expression remained calm.

"Elder Che, is Elder Qi Shan in Black Emperor City?" After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Yu smiled and asked.

"He is, he is. But Elder Qi is currently busy refining pills. If Head of Yuan Manor wishes to meet him, it may take a couple of days." The blue-robed old man said, his gaze flickering as if trying to figure out Mo Yu's intentions.

"It's no problem. I don't mind waiting for a couple of days." Mo Yu said calmly.

"Hehe, the head of Yuan Manor is always welcome in our Black Emperor Sect. Once you enter the Black Emperor Pavilion, someone will guide you to your quarters. Please!"

Che Cheng smiled, stepped aside, and gestured toward the pavilion's entrance.

Mo Yu smiled slightly and moved forward. The Yao clan's three brothers followed closely behind.

Just as they were entering, a sudden voice shouted behind them.

"The Young Master of Heavenly Serpent Mansion has arrived!"

The loud shout caused many people in the area to stop in their tracks, and surprised glances were cast toward the approaching group.

At the forefront of the crowd, a woman dressed in light green, elegant clothing walked forward slowly.

The woman's figure was tall and curvaceous, exuding a mature and alluring aura. Her body was perfectly shaped—full where it should be full, slender where it should be slender, giving off an enticing charm.

Upon seeing the familiar face of the woman in green, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Qing Lin…"
