Chapter 114 The Gift from Scorpion Mountain, People from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Arrive!
"I don't agree!"

A hoarse roar suddenly rang out. The heavily injured Scorpion Mountain staggered to his feet, his sinister gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Lu Yu: "Even if I die today, I will take one person down with me!"

After saying that, a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and blood blisters began to swell up all over his body. Black venom churned in the blood blisters, and his whole body was as terrifying as a boiling poison furnace.

"Sir, be careful! It's Demon Poison Spot!" Wuya exclaimed in alarm.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu, who was about to make a move, was stunned, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Demonic Poison Spot?
Immediately, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to stop Zi Yan from making a move.

Seeing this, Zi Yan curled her lips indifferently, after all, in her mind, Lu Yu had far more tricks up his sleeve than she did.

Even a high-level Dou Wang can defeat a Dou Zong expert. Now that he has broken through to the Dou Huang realm, he is probably comparable to a mid-level Dou Zong expert.

If he could be killed by a peak Dou Huang, she might as well take fewer pills.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The moment Wuya's voice faded, the blood blisters on Xieshan's body began to expand rapidly, as if inflating. Just as his body reached its limit, a crisp "pop" sound was heard!
A bizarre scene unfolded as Scorpion Mountain's body rapidly shrank like a deflated sack, while a twisted, maniacal laugh erupted from his face. Blood bubbles burst all over his body, his jaw swelled and tilted back in a strange manner, and a muffled "gurgling" sound came from his throat.

"puff!"

As the last blood bubble burst, a black beam the thickness of a thumb shot out from its mouth, moving so fast it almost pierced through space, and arrived in front of Lu Yu in the blink of an eye!
"Well done!"

Lu Yu was not surprised but delighted. He raised his right palm and directly absorbed the black light into his body. A thumb-sized black mark appeared on his palm, emanating a cold aura.

"you……"

Scorpion Mountain was stunned. He aged at a visible speed. His black hair turned white, his face became withered, and in the blink of an eye, he went from a middle-aged man to a frail old man.

"Thank you for the gift."

Lu Yu smiled calmly, and just as the black spots were about to spread, a dazzling golden flame suddenly ignited around him. Immediately afterward, a jade-green flame rose up—it was the evolved Earth Core Flame!

Under the combined refining power of the two strange flames, the sinister black spot melted away like ice and snow, turning into pure energy that was completely absorbed by the Floating Pagoda.

"Boom!!!"

The pagoda spun in mid-air, repeatedly refining energy before feeding it back into Lu Yu's body. In an instant, his aura surged!
Two-Star Dou Huang!

Samsung Fighting Emperor!

Four-star Dou Huang!

After his energy was depleted, Lu Yu shook his head regretfully and sighed, "What a pity, your cultivation technique is too low-level, and the quality of your battle qi is too poor. Otherwise, I might have been able to advance a few more stars..."

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Shan could no longer hold back and spat out another mouthful of blood, mixed with some fragments of internal organs. Then, his legs kicked out and he fainted.

In the blink of an eye, all life was gone.

"This……"

Upon seeing this, the members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect immediately erupted in panic.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and hundreds of Wanxie Sect cultivators scattered and fled.

"Seven-Colored Rainbow Force!"

At that moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out. A rain of multicolored sword light poured down, instantly piercing the bodies of the fleeing Dou Wang experts, filling the air with blood mist.

The gap between these two major realms is not something everyone can bridge.

The two remaining Dou Huangs of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were surrounded by Wu Ya and the elders of the Heavenly Centipede Mansion, and had no chance of escape!
"Gentlemen, if you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender."

Wuya stepped forward with a sinister smile, the poisoned blade in his hand gleaming with a cold, eerie green light. He said, "The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's fate is sealed. Why put up a stubborn resistance?"

The two Dou Huangs exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with despair. One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Ya, you colluded with outsiders to destroy my sect, aren't you afraid..." "Shut up!"

Wu Ya interrupted the other party with a sharp shout, then waved his hand and shouted, "Take him down!"

Just as the people of Tianwu Mansion were about to make their move, Lu Yu gracefully descended from the sky. He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering without wind, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the entire scene, and he said calmly:
"The rest is up to you, Lord Centipede."

"Three days from now, I want to see the Heavenly Centipede Mansion unify all the forces, large and small, around the Heavenly Scorpion Mountain Range."

Upon hearing this, Wuya immediately bowed respectfully, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Rest assured, sir! Wuya will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Lu Yu nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Cai Lin who was standing quietly to the side, and instructed, "During this period, Cai Lin is at your disposal."

Cai Lin's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she parted her red lips slightly, saying, "As you command."

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Lu Yu suddenly frowned slightly. He looked around, and his soul power spread out like a tide.

However, apart from the devastated battlefield and the trembling remnants of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Clan, nothing else was discovered.

Immediately, Lu Yu frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Strange, why haven't the people from the Soul Palace shown up? Did they not come at all, or did they slip away when they sensed something was wrong?"

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Scorpion Mountains.

Just as a man in black robes was about to step into the mountain range, the blood-red jade talisman in his hand suddenly shattered.

"Xie Biyan...is he dead?"

The man in black robes' expression changed drastically, his sinister eyes flickering uncertainly. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly retreated, his figure gradually disappearing into the shadows.

"Since the pawn is useless, let's just support another one... This protector has no interest in avenging him..."

The chilling sound dissipated with the wind, as if it had never existed.

……

Soon after,

Several streaks of light pierced the sky, and Lu Yu and his group had already landed on the summit of Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain.

This sect's residence, built against the mountain, features pavilions and towers arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner, and still exudes a magnificent aura even after a great battle.

Looking at the scene before him, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Xian'er, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has been entrenched here for many years, so they must have hidden a lot of good things."

He turned to Zi Yan, who was looking around, and said, "This girl has a nose that's sharper than a dog's. Take her to search the place; I guarantee she won't be able to find even the treasures hidden in the cracks of the ground."

Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly, a sly glint in her purple eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't steal any food."

As he spoke, he grabbed Ziyan by the back of her collar, who was about to slip away.

"Hey! Who's trying to steal some food?!"

Zi Yan struggled angrily, saying, "I'm going to... to help you appraise your treasures!"

Lu Yu chuckled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly hardened, and he looked sharply at the distant horizon.

A streak of light streaked across the sky, hurtling toward them at an astonishing speed.

As the light faded, a colossal creature was revealed – the ferocious and terrifying eight-winged black serpent king!
This sixth-tier magical beast exuded a suffocatingly ferocious aura, its massive body covered in eerie markings blotting out the sky. When its eight purplish-black wings were fully spread, they shrouded half the sky in shadow.

Even more chilling was the sight of a thin, middle-aged man standing proudly atop the black serpent king. His expression was indifferent, yet he exuded a powerful, unsettling aura!
A peak Dou Zong level expert!
Lu Yu frowned, his gaze sweeping over the back of the Black Serpent King. Suddenly, his pupils contracted. At the feet of the middle-aged man lay an unconscious girl in a green dress—it was Qing Lin!
"May I ask, Your Excellency, where is Queen Medusa?"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly, his voice soft yet carrying an undeniable authority.

"I am Hong Qi, the seventh elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."
