Btth: The Rise of Qingshan

When Yan Qingshan read Battle Through the Heaven in his previous life, he found this part of the Mo family's plot very strange.

The Mo family of Yan City was quite far from the Tager Desert. Mo Cheng, the elder of the Mo family, generally wouldn't leave Yan City too far, let alone run to the Tager Desert and happen to meet Qing Ling and kidnap her.

Moreover, the appearance of Lü Man from the Heavenly Snake Mansion and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor later was also very abrupt, as if they could accurately find Qing Ling's location. But what was even stranger was why they hadn't found Qing Ling in the previous ten years!

Thinking about it now, when Qing Ling subdued and contracted the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, it should have been when her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were completely awakened.

When the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were completely awakened, there should have been some strange phenomena or other messages, which would be detected by certain means within a certain range. That's why Mo Cheng and Lü Man were able to find Qing Ling.

But Yan Qingshan didn't have time to think about these issues now. Whether it was the Mo family or someone else who came to find the mixed-blood snake people, since they had set their sights on Qing Ling, it was impossible to let it go.

…

East of Rock Desert City, on the fully equipped camels, elite mercenaries surrounded a group of seemingly foreign experts.

Luo Bu, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, personally led the team, and Mo Xing, the second-in-command, directly became their dog.

The Sand Mercenary Group had been very active these days. First, they searched for the traces of mixed-blood snake people throughout the city. For this reason, they even clashed with several mercenary groups and brazenly attacked.

Then, they prepared to go out of the city to hunt down a snake girl who had already left with foreigners. For this reason, they didn't hesitate to send a large force into the Tager Desert. Many people couldn't understand this crazy behavior.

"Chief, the elder of the Mo family is impatient and has repeatedly asked when we can set off."

Mo Xing trotted to Luo Bu's side. As the second-in-command who rose to power by flattering, Luo Bu sent him to the elder of the Mo family to stabilize those people.

But how could the elder of the Mo family lack flatterers? If they didn't need a local snake, he wouldn't look down on the Sand Mercenary Group in this remote place.

"Tell them to wait a little longer, did you hear that! If we don't prepare enough in this desert, how many brothers can come back?"

Luo Bu angrily grabbed Mo Xing's collar, very dissatisfied with this subordinate's urging.

"Chief Luo Bu, please prepare as soon as possible. The elder's temper is not very good!"

A middle-aged man in a yellow robe came to the field. He glanced at Mo Xing and didn't speak. This person was indeed capable, but after all, he was their person. It wasn't worth offending a three-star Dou Grandmaster for him.

"Got it, Elder Mo Ran!"

Luo Bu glanced at this person and let go of Mo Xing. He didn't care about the other party's attitude but didn't completely disregard his face.

Mo Ran, a peak nine-star Dou Master, was very close to the Dou Grandmaster realm. He was also the confidant of the Mo family's elder, so it wasn't easy to offend him.

Luo Bu sighed as he watched Mo Ran leave. To be honest, everything before was fine, but he really didn't want to get involved in today's matter.

Although the desert area outside Rock Desert City was quite far from the real Death Sand Sea, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find two people who had left long ago in the vast sand area. It was almost impossible to find them.

Not to mention that so many of them were going deep into the desert. Once they provoked the strong snake-people tribes in the desert, they would be in trouble.

If it weren't for the report from his subordinates that the two people were likely to be around Rock Desert City and hadn't gone far, and the elder of the Mo family in Yan City was really difficult to offend, he really wouldn't want to lead the team out.

As one of the few strong people in Rock Desert City, a three-star Dou Grandmaster, Luo Bu's own strength wouldn't be weak even in the inland areas. Whether he joined a force or built his own family, he could have a high status. But he lacked some foundation.

Although the Mo family's request was high this time, they promised to help him unify Rock Desert City. Although Rock Desert City was not as good as an inland town, the benefits of the whole city wouldn't be small. Of course, he was tempted.

"Elder!"

Mo Ran took Mo Xing to the group of more than ten unfamiliar foreigners. The lowest of these people was a Dou Master level expert. The strongest one, whom they respectfully called the elder, was unfathomable.

The Mo family of Yan City was one of the three major families in the north-eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire and had close ties with the Misty Cloud Sect. The strongest member of the family was Mo Cheng, the first elder of the Mo family.

Mo Cheng, the elder of the Mo family, a Dou Spirit expert, a deacon of the outer sect of the Misty Cloud Sect, had close ties with Yun Leng, the elder of the Misty Cloud Sect.

He was a famous expert in the north-eastern part of the empire. He had once single-handedly killed the most rampant and vicious Black Rotary Bandit Troop in the east.

The Black Rotary Bandit Troop at that time had three Dou Grandmaster and more than ten Dou Master. Their strength couldn't be underestimated.

The empire sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but they didn't achieve much and lost many people. But they were all killed by Mo Cheng alone.

The place of that bloody battle was a river of blood, and Mo Cheng became famous in one battle and got the nickname "Executioner Mo."

When Mo Cheng was young, he joined the Misty Cloud Sect. But later, he left the Misty Cloud Sect to manage family affairs.

Although he left the Misty Cloud Sect, he paid an extremely large tribute to the Misty Cloud Sect every year. And every time the high-level members of the Misty Cloud Sect had happy events, he would go to congratulate them in person. He was very smooth and had an excellent relationship with Yun Leng, the elder of the Misty Cloud Sect.

The eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire didn't lack Dou Spirit experts, but the Mo family of Yan City had the most prestige and strength. All of this was because the Mo family had the Misty Cloud Sect as their backing.

…

In the vast sand sea southeast of Rock Desert City, more than a hundred elite rode camels, often scattered in various places to search for possible traces.

"Elder Mo Cheng, are you sure it's this direction? I've been here before. It's all yellow sand!"

Luo Bu rode his camel to Mo Cheng's side. The other party was wrapped in a cloak. His long sleeves and tightly wrapped gloves didn't expose any part of his arms. He was doing this in such hot weather. He didn't know if it was his quirk.

"Are you questioning me!"

Mo Cheng turned his head and replied coldly. Luo Bu, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, was just a three-star Dou Grandmaster.

In his eyes, he was just a small person who could be crushed at will. It was already the other party's honor to let this local snake find something for him. But he was still nagging.

If he wasn't worried that the news of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would leak out, he would have sent a large number of people from the Mo family here as soon as he sensed the birth of this strange eye. How could he use the small Sand Mercenary Group?

He had even planned that once he achieved his goal, he would clean up the entire Rock Desert City, including the Sand Mercenary Group, to prevent the news of his search for mixed-blood snake people from leaking out and being known by those who were interested.

"No, no!"

Luo Bu hurriedly replied. He dared to lose his temper with Mo Xing and could perfunctorily deal with Mo Ran. But he didn't dare to disobey Mo Cheng, a Dou Spirit expert. The other party's strength was much stronger than him. If he had the intention to kill, he could take his life in a few moves.

"Stop!!!"

This group of people wasn't slow. Although they were just riding camels to search and chase slowly, they approached the sand area where Yan Qingshan and the others were located at noon.

Just as they were about to continue searching, a warning suddenly came from the distance, and a figure quickly came from the horizon.

"Dou Qi Wings!"

"Dou King, it's Dou King!"

"Dou King expert!"

…

The figure on the horizon arrived in an instant. He was wearing a black robe and couldn't see his face clearly. His aura was as ordinary as a common person. But the pair of purple wings behind him made people dare not ignore his existence.

Dou Qi Wings, Dou King expert, this was the perception of most people on the continent.

"This place is my retreat. You better turn around and leave!"

The purple-winged 'Dou King' in the sky spoke lightly, but with an inviolable majesty. Most of the Mercenaries who came to search were extremely frightened and couldn't wait to turn around and run away immediately.

"Elder Mo Cheng, this is a Dou King expert. Let's take a detour!"

Luo Bu, who was beside Mo Cheng, whispered to persuade him. But from the time the 'purple-winged Dou King' appeared until now, Mo Cheng had been looking up at the sky, as if confirming something.

"Dou King, I don't think so!"

Mo Cheng smiled coldly and suddenly jumped up, breaking through the air and flying towards the 'purple-winged Dou King' in the sky.

"Elder!"

"Elder Mo Cheng!"

"We're doomed, we're doomed. He actually attacked a Dou King!"

Everyone, including Luo Bu, was extremely frightened. Some of the people in the back even turned around and fled.

However, unexpectedly, the 'purple-winged Dou King' chose to dodge when faced with Mo Cheng's rapid flight. After spreading his wings and turning away, he threw a porcelain bottle at Mo Cheng. At the same time, more porcelain bottles were thrown at the Mercenaries on the ground like meteors.

Boom boom boom boom boom…

A series of porcelain bottles exploded continuously, and the medicinal powder with a strange fragrance and the strange white mist instantly filled the area. Most of the Mercenaries were still in fear. Except for Mo Cheng, who had been prepared, everyone else, including Luo Bu, failed to activate their Dou Qi defense in time. Their bodies were stained with powder and smoke, which had a strange fragrance.

"A mere Dou Zhe dares to deceive me with flying Dou Techniques."

Mo Cheng quickly landed after failing to catch him in the air. Dou Spirit was not as good as Dou King and Dou Emperor, who could only fly in the air for a short time.

"Your techniques and Dou Techniques are very extraordinary. I am Mo Cheng. Which family are you from? Maybe your elders have some friendship with me!"

"Executioner Mo, I have warned you. If you still insist on going your own way and are not afraid of death, then continue to come forward!"

The 'purple-winged Dou King' was of course Yan Qingshan. After saying this, he didn't stop. He flashed his wings and went directly to the depths of the sand area.

Since he couldn't fool Mo Cheng, then it was just a battle. Since he knew someone was coming, he naturally prepared. Since he confirmed that it was Mo Cheng, a Dou Spirit, it was nothing. With his backup, he wasn't afraid of this guy.
