Having emerged from seclusion, Mo Tang was aware of the undercurrents surging beneath the calm surface of the Black Corner Region.
The Black Emperor Sect was now being watched by countless eyes, silently waiting…
This reminded Mo Tang of the animal kingdom from his previous life…
The Black Emperor Sect was like a wounded elephant, surrounded by countless hyenas, all greedily coveting this piece of meat.
Unfortunately, even wounded, an elephant is still an elephant, still possessing immense power, causing these greedy hyenas to only dare to wait quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the elephant's death.
But, if a pride of lions were to arrive at this moment…
Mo Tang was somewhat tempted.
With the Black Emperor Sect's resources, if he could truly take it down, then advancing to the Nine-Star Dou Huang level wouldn't be difficult at all.
What Mo Tang didn't expect was that while he was discussing with Su Mei and the others how to deal with the Black Emperor Sect's opponents, a sudden visitor disrupted his plans...
In the hall, Little Fairy Doctor, who had been sitting next to Mo Tang, suddenly raised her head and looked towards the door.
At the same time, Mo Tang's expression also became somewhat curious.
"Alliance Leader, what's wrong?"
Su Mei asked, puzzled, seeing the two's unusual behavior.
Mo Tang smiled slightly, looking at the open space outside the door, and said with a faint smile, "Elder Master Ying Shan's esteemed presence at my Wind and Thunder Alliance is truly a rare guest!"
Mo Tang's words startled the four Dou Huangs below, who couldn't help but look outside.
To the astonishment of the four, ripples suddenly appeared in the previously empty space outside the door, and then a black figure emerged…
It was none other than Elder Eagle Mountain, who had won the Bodhi Transformation Saliva at the Black Emperor Sect auction!
However, this old fellow had rather bad luck; the item was snatched away by the seller, but ended up in Mo Tang's hands…
So, upon discovering the old man's identity, Mo Tang immediately assumed he was there to reclaim his possession.
However, judging from the marker on the minimap, Elder Eagle Mountain wasn't marked with the hostile red, but rather a faint green…
This indicated that the old man held a friendly attitude towards him.
This was strange!
Why would this old monster be so benevolent towards him? What did he want?
It was precisely this curiosity that led Mo Tang to stop Little Fairy Doctor from attacking the moment he spotted the old man.
"Hehe, as expected of Alliance Leader Mo, to discover me so easily! Truly worthy of being the pride of Zhongzhou!"
A string of flattering words followed, making Mo Tang feel very pleased.
"Haha, Senior Eagle Mountain, you flatter me. How about we sit down and chat?"
With a wave of his hand, a chair appeared at the head of the table to his left. Su Mei and the other three quickly rose to greet Elder Eagle Mountain, then sat down on his right.
Once everyone was seated, Elder Eagle Mountain didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.
"Alliance Leader Mo, I've come to join forces with you to take down the Black Emperor Sect in one fell swoop! What do you think, Alliance Leader Mo?"
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, and the others looked surprised, clearly not expecting Elder Eagle Mountain to be here for this.
However, Mo Tang still harbored some doubts. After all, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva had ultimately fallen into his hands. He strongly suspected that the old man had set a trap with Mo Tianxing, trying to lure him into it…
Don't assume that just because there was a past grudge, things are impossible.
This is the Black Corner Region; in the face of profit, even the blood feud can be set aside, as long as the benefits are sufficient! Besides, Mo Tang wasn't really sure whether the rumors of the attacks circulating outside were true or false.
If those two old monsters were to join forces, Mo Tang and even the entire Wind and Thunder Alliance would be in trouble…
"I wonder how Senior Eagle Mountain came up with the idea of seeking an alliance with my Wind and Thunder Alliance? If it's because my Wind and Thunder Alliance has a Dou Zong, that's not very convincing…"
Mo Tang asked with a faint smile.
Given the time Eagle Mountain had spent in the Black Corner Region, finding a Dou Zong-level expert as an ally wouldn't be difficult.
And even if he truly had no friends, wouldn't it be better to seek help from the Demon Flame Valley, which was arguably the strongest force in the Black Corner Region?
After all, there were still some grudges between the two sides.
Old Man Eagle Mountain naturally understood Mo Tang's suspicions. His usually sinister expression softened, revealing a rare sincerity as he said, "Alliance Leader Mo, there's no need to doubt. I know that after I was forced back by Mo Tianxing, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva fell into your hands…
To be honest, I was secretly observing your battle with that old monster Mo.
It was witnessing that battle that led me to my current thoughts!"
Mo Tang nodded slightly, unsurprised by Old Man Eagle Mountain's words.
During his battle with Mo Tianxing, he had already noticed Old Man Eagle Mountain returning and hiding in the shadows. This was one of the reasons he had Little Fairy Doctor provide support while he himself attacked—to guard against the old man's sneak attacks.
Seeing that Mo Tang still showed no reaction, Elder Yingshan could only continue, "Although the Bodhi Transformation Saliva has fallen into your hands, Alliance Leader Mo, it was only because you snatched it from Mo Tianxing.
Although I rarely reason, I still have some sense. Since the item is now in Alliance Leader Mo's hands, I will no longer covet it…
However, since Mo Tianxing dared to use tricks to scheme against me, this matter cannot be left unresolved. After this is done, I need to obtain sufficient items from the Black Emperor Sect as compensation!"
Well, in the end, he still coveted the Black Emperor Sect's vast collection.
After witnessing Mo Tang, a six-star Dou Huang, fight against a four-star Dou Zong without defeat, Elder Yingshan was shocked by the former.
Moreover, perhaps Mo Tianxing did not know what the Demon Phoenix Sacred Image that Mo Tang ultimately unleashed was, but Elder Yingshan, who had traveled through the Central Continent, had witnessed such a terrifying scene!
"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan! One of the three top-tier families in the magical beast world!"
Since the Ancient Void Dragon Clan ceased to exist, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Nine Netherworld Python have been revered throughout the magical beast world.
As the most prestigious magical beast family, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's power is even more terrifying than the top-tier forces in the Central Continent, and only an existence like the Pill Tower can be compared to them.
Although with the strength of Elder Eagle Mountain at the time, he wasn't qualified to know more about the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, but even the fragmentary information he knew had already terrified the old man...
Now, he actually knew that the young man before him was very likely a member of this terrifying clan, how could Elder Eagle Mountain dare to have even the slightest bad thought...!
