You've Got Some Seriously Plump Guts

Several figures sat or stood in the dimly lit secret chamber.

"Mo Lin, how are the preparations coming along?" At the seat of honor, an elderly man with graying hair and pale gray robes spoke in a low voice.

"First Elder, we have confirmed that this little girl does indeed possess the legendary Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils," a middle-aged man answered respectfully.

"Good..." At those words, the old man's eyes brightened, and irrepressible excitement flashed across his face as he laughed sinisterly.

"To think our Mo Clan would be so fortunate this time, actually encountering Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils that have yet to fully mature."

"First Elder, are those Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils really as miraculous as the legends say?" the middle-aged man from before asked quietly.

"Perhaps even more so. These Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils haven't appeared in centuries. No one knows exactly what other secrets they hold..."

"As long as we obtain those eyes and temper them to maturity, who in the Jia Ma Empire will dare oppose us?"

"When that time comes, I won't fear even Yun Yun. Why would we still need to rely on the Misty Cloud Sect? Hmph, if we could save the enormous tribute we pay them every year, our Mo Clan's growth would probably be far beyond this!"

First Elder Mo Cheng slammed his palm against the table and rose from his seat, his face full of resentment.

None of the others present dared interrupt Mo Cheng's furious words. They could only nod hastily.

"No time to lose. Hurry and make the preparations. At midnight tonight, I'll have those eyes transplanted into me!"

Mo Cheng's gaze turned vicious. With a sweep of his hand, he issued the order.

He could wait no longer.

Once he obtained those eyes, he would never again have to watch the Misty Cloud Sect's expressions before acting.

"Yes..." After bowing to Mo Cheng, the middle-aged man went to prepare everything needed for the organ removal surgery.

Mo Cheng sat back down and closed his eyes, conserving his strength for tonight's midnight "glorious evolution."

His formerly old and feeble heart now throbbed with powerful vigor, like that shudder after a man and woman finished doing the deed.

Yet before his beautiful dream could last another few seconds, a scream came from behind the secret chamber's door. Mo Cheng's eyes snapped open, fixing on the direction of the sound.

Bang!!!!

The next second, an explosion blasted the chamber's stone door away, and Mo Cheng casually blocked it.

Before the dust had fully settled, a figure slowly emerged from within the secret chamber.

"You Mo Clan people really drag your feet. Keeping up that act was exhausting..."

As Luo Yang walked, he removed his wig and colored contact lenses.

If it hadn't been to protect Qing Lin, he would never have dressed as a girl to serve as bait in this sting operation.

He had no cross-dressing fetish...

This was his first time using the Disguise Technique Sister Rongrong had taught him, and the results were pretty good. Even Qing Lin herself couldn't find a flaw.

"You dared use fake Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to deceive me!!"

Seeing the colored contacts Luo Yang had removed, Mo Cheng's eyes bulged with fury. Only then did he realize that the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils he had gone to such trouble to abduct were actually fake.

The hope of turning his fortunes around that had just flared to life shattered instantly. He would make the fellow before him pay.

He was a Five-Star Dou Ling expert and could tell at a glance that Luo Yang was merely a Three-Star Da Dou Shi. He felt he had this in the bag.

"Deceive you? Heh, coveting my bed-warming maid-you realize you've already given me cause to kill you?!"

Luo Yang casually tossed aside the wig and colored contacts, looking at Mo Cheng with disdain.

He twisted his neck, which had grown terribly stiff from pretending to be unconscious, producing a series of crisp cracks.

"You're courting death!!"

Deceived and then provoked, Mo Cheng flew into an uncontrollable rage, his face twisting hideously. Curling his fingers into claws, he lunged at Luo Yang.

As Mo Cheng saw it, a mere Three-Star Da Dou Shi could never withstand a furious blow from a Dou Ling expert like him.

"Heh... you don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is..."

Luo Yang scoffed. Despite not having a single pocket on him, he somehow produced the Sparklence from who knew where.

The Sparklence unfolded, releasing golden lightning and dazzling white light.

"Aah-"

Mo Cheng screamed as he was sent flying backward, smashing hard into the secret chamber's stone wall.

Most of his body became embedded in it, the kind that couldn't even be pried out.

"You... I..."

With an unwilling gaze, Mo Cheng stared at Luo Yang, whose eyes were bigger than salted eggs. His mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.

He failed to draw another breath. His head tilted, and with a snap... he died.

Even a casual wave from a Dou Huang expert was far beyond what a mere Dou Ling like him could withstand.

"Wait, he died just like that? I only just transformed..." Luo Yang looked at Mo Cheng's corpse, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

"You haven't paid off your debt yet..."

Luo Yang raised one clenched fist overhead, and his body began swelling enormously. In the blink of an eye, he burst straight through the secret chamber's roof.

Soon, a giant over fifty meters tall rose from the Mo Clan compound, though a small portion of his lower legs remained buried in the ground.

"All of you, die!"

Luo Yang formed a sword gesture with his fingers and touched the diamond-shaped crystal on his forehead, then pointed forward. A thin cutting beam shot from the diamond-shaped crystal, splitting the Mo Clan... the entire Salt City in two in an instant.

At that moment, the radiant, towering Giant Mountain Super Overlord-Tiga-began wreaking destruction within Salt City, just like the monsters it had once defeated.

In the blink of an eye, the once-glorious overlord of the northeast-the Salt City Mo Clan-had become a stretch of ruins belching black smoke.

Not far outside Salt City, Qing Lin and Hai Bodong watched what was happening within the city from a distance.

"So here you are..."

A pale green figure flew out of Salt City. After confirming Qing Lin's identity, she reached out with both arms, and an unknown suction force actually pulled Qing Lin up.

Just as the green figure thought the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were about to fall into her hands, a transparent ice wall appeared out of thin air, separating her from Qing Lin.

"You've finally appeared..."

Hai Bodong watched the green figure gravely. He closed his hand, and a long spear of ice appeared in his grasp as he moved to block Qing Lin.

"Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. You certainly live up to your reputation..." The green figure recognized Hai Bodong, but did not take him too seriously. Clearly, her strength surpassed his.

"Daring to snatch someone from right under a Dou Zong expert's nose-you've got some seriously plump guts."

Hai Bodong shielded Qing Lin behind him, ready to fight at any moment.

Having promised Luo Yang that he would protect Qing Lin's safety, he would never let her suffer the slightest harm, even if a Dou Zong expert came, let alone a Dou Huang expert only a few stars stronger than himself.

"I have no wish to make an enemy of the Ice Emperor. I only hope that Lord Ice Emperor will hand this little girl over to me. She is extremely important to my sect. As long as Lord Ice Emperor agrees, you will henceforth be an honored guest of my sect..."

Although stronger than Hai Bodong, the green figure showed no intention of taking her by force. Speaking softly, she tried to negotiate Qing Lin's departure with her.

"Entrusted with another's request, I must see it through faithfully. I cannot grant your demand. But let me offer you a word of advice: if you want to live, leave immediately. If you wait until he arrives, even dying will be difficult..."
