In the ancient bluestone square, a spatial vortex emerged in midair.
As soon as a youthful voice echoed from within, countless gazes immediately turned towards the vortex.
Moments later, the members of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan saw several figures stepping out of the swirling space.
At the forefront, two figures stood side by side. On the left was a mysterious individual shrouded in a black robe, his features obscured from view. On the right was a tall and handsome young man with silver eyes. His gaze carried a chilling indifference, exuding an oppressive aura that sent a shiver down the spines of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan's experts.
The pressure emanating from him was even greater than that of some elders within their clan.
"Is that Mo Yu? Princess Cai Lin's husband?"
"He's so handsome! No wonder Princess Cai Lin married him. If it were me, I'd probably fall for him too."
"I heard he's not just good-looking but also incredibly strong. He even established his own faction on a supercontinent."
"That powerful? If that's the case, he and Princess Cai Lin truly are a match made in heaven."
...
In a corner of Myriad Pythons Mountain, a group of alluring and curvaceous female members of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan chattered excitedly. Mo Yu's striking appearance and dignified presence instantly captivated them.
However, unlike the admiring women, the male members of the clan looked at Mo Yu with jealousy and hostility.
"That bastard actually dares to come to our Heaven Swallowing Python Clan? He's courting death! Does he really think that just because he's Princess Cai Lin's husband, he can do whatever he pleases?"
"Damn it! Why did Princess Cai Lin marry a human? It's a disgrace to the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline!"
"Exactly! If Princess Cai Lin had married me, I'd willingly give up half my lifespan."
"Keep dreaming! You think you're worthy of Princess Cai Lin?"
...
As numerous gazes locked onto Mo Yu, a cacophony of voices erupted across the area.
Over the past two months, Mo Yu's name had become widely known within the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan. When news broke that he was Princess Cai Lin's husband, many of the clan's men wailed in despair.
As a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python—one of the rarest in thousands of years—Cai Lin possessed not only an extraordinary bloodline but also unparalleled beauty. Her mature and enchanting aura had captivated many young talents in the clan.
Yet, to their dismay, such a noble and breathtaking woman had chosen to marry a human. This fact alone caused immense resentment and dissatisfaction towards Mo Yu among the clan members.
While murmurs of ridicule filled the square, the elders of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, seated in stone chairs at the forefront, turned their sharp gazes toward Mo Yu.
"So, you are Mo Yu?"
The elder in a green robe, who had previously voiced doubts about Mo Yu, scrutinized him with eyes as sharp as blades before speaking coldly, "I didn't think you'd actually dare to come. Very well, since you're here today, you won't leave until your marriage with Cai Lin is annulled!"
The other elders also scrutinized Mo Yu with evaluating gazes. Although the clan had been embroiled in heated debates regarding Mo Yu, this was the first time they had seen him in person.
His aura alone made them wary. The oppressive sensation they felt was not something an ordinary Earthly Supreme expert could exude.
It seemed that this lower-plane powerhouse, who had broken through shackles to enter the Great Thousand World, was indeed no ordinary figure.
Sitting at the center of the stone seats, Patriach Mang Cang also observed Mo Yu closely. His deep-set eyes betrayed no emotion, his expression calm and unreadable.
However, if one were perceptive enough, they would notice a faint fluctuation in Mang Cang's seemingly placid gaze. Mo Yu's presence had evidently left a strong impression on him.
Beside Mang Cang, Cai Lin stood frozen, her gaze fixed on the figure before her as though he were a deity descending from the heavens.
For a fleeting moment, she seemed dazed. Then, snapping back to reality, her beautiful and enchanting eyes widened slightly.
Staring at the face that had haunted her dreams, Cai Lin suddenly stepped forward. Her delicate, breathtaking features slowly bloomed into a smile as pure and radiant as a snow lotus.
"You're here…"
Her voice was soft yet carried an overwhelming depth of longing. She gazed at Mo Yu intently, and without realizing it, her slender jade hand reached out, gently caressing his face.
Mo Yu chuckled softly. "Yes, I'm here."
Looking at her, his smile became even more tender. He reached out and took her cool, delicate hand in his own.
"I came to find you."
Feeling the warmth of his touch against her skin, Cai Lin bit her lip lightly. Her cold and noble face, usually unyielding, now carried an endless softness.
Married to Mo Yu for decades, she never imagined that, as the proud queen of the Serpent Clan, she would fall in love with a man as deeply as if he were a potent poison coursing through her veins.
"Sorry, it seems I arrived a bit late..." Mo Yu said gently, seeing the emotions in her eyes.
As his words fell, the anguished cries of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan's male members echoed around them. Mo Yu, however, simply extended his arm and wrapped it gently around Cai Lin's slender, snake-like waist. Ignoring her slight struggle, he pulled her into his embrace and whispered, "I'm sorry. Next time, I won't be late."
Hearing his low murmur by her ear, even Cai Lin, who prided herself on her composure, felt a faint ache at the tip of her nose. No matter how strong she appeared in the eyes of others, she was still a woman—a woman who had found her home.
When that home had been absent for years, her heart had inevitably been filled with longing. And now, with just those few whispered words, all the emotions hidden deep within her heart came flooding out.
"The Great Thousand World is vast and filled with dangers. The fact that you're here now is enough. I won't blame you. As long as you are safe..." Cai Lin murmured softly.
Mo Yu smiled. "With a wife like you, what more could I ask for?"
Though he had always treated Lei Fei'er, Xiao Yu, and the other women in his life equally, he couldn't deny that he had a special fondness for Cai Lin.
"Ahem…"
Just as the two of them basked in this rare moment of intimacy, a deliberate cough echoed nearby.
Hearing it, Cai Lin immediately blushed and gently pulled away from Mo Yu's embrace. For years, she had been a dominant and authoritative figure in the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, and she refused to let others see her acting like a shy woman in love.
"Leave the rest to me." Releasing Cai Lin, Mo Yu smiled faintly. However, when he glanced at the numerous hostile gazes directed at him, he couldn't help but tease, "It seems your charm is as strong as ever…"
Upon hearing this, Cai Lin's delicate face flushed slightly as she whispered, "It's not like I wanted this to happen either..."
Logically speaking, she had been married to Mo Yu for twenty years and even had a child, so she shouldn't have retained the charm she once had. Yet, the gazes of the male members of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan were now even more fervent when they looked at her, leaving Cai Lin utterly baffled.
If Mo Yu were aware of her confusion, he would no doubt be furious and exclaim, This isn't a Heaven Swallowing Python Clan—this is clearly a den of perverts!
While the male members of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan were filled with envy and resentment toward Mo Yu, he remained in midair, his silver eyes flashing with cold light as he locked onto the elder in the green robe—the very person who had let out the deliberate cough earlier.
"I am Cai Lin's husband. Not even the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan can change that fact. I wonder what advice you have for me, sir?"
Upon hearing this, the green-robed elder let out a mocking chuckle and said, "Such arrogance. You dare to act unruly in the territory of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan? Do you think a so-called Prison Lord, someone I've never even heard of, has the right to be so brazen here?"
The elder snorted coldly and continued, "Allow me to give you some well-intentioned advice. Cai Lin possesses the bloodline of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, a lineage of noble status. You two should separate as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you provoke the wrath of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, your so-called Thunder Prison will not be able to bear the consequences!"
As he spoke, the green-robed elder suddenly stood up from his stone seat. In an instant, a terrifying spiritual pressure spread out like a vast tide, darkening the sky while fierce winds howled through the heavens and earth.
Behind him, the overwhelming surge of spiritual energy gradually coalesced into the form of an enormous azure python. It raised its head to the sky, letting out an earth-shaking hiss as an oppressive force filled the air.
Clearly, the elder intended to suppress Mo Yu by force, hoping to crush his momentum from the outset. If Mo Yu showed even the slightest weakness now, he would lose all qualification to resist any decision the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan made regarding him.
The suffocating pressure that swept across the area caused Cai Lin's expression to change slightly. However, Mo Yu merely took a step forward, standing protectively in front of her like an immovable mountain, blocking the immense pressure entirely.
"In that case, allow me to witness the strength of a Heaven Swallowing Python Clan elder firsthand!"
At that moment, Mo Yu's expression darkened. With a cold snort, he took a single step forward, and the space beneath his foot shattered like fragile glass.
A shockwave visible to the naked eye erupted outward. In mere moments, it engulfed the massive azure python formed from the elder's spiritual energy above.
Boom!
The impact wreaked havoc, and the azure python let out a pained wail before exploding under countless astonished gazes.
The green-robed elder's expression changed drastically. His body trembled as he staggered back a step, while cracks spread across the stone seat beneath him, nearly shattering it.
Seeing this, several other elders of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan gasped in shock.
"Impossible! Elder Mang Lan is also Greater Earthly Supreme!"
They had heard of Mo Yu before, but rumors were unreliable. It was only now, witnessing him with their own eyes, that they realized the terrifying strength of this silver-eyed man—someone who could repel a Greater Earthly Supreme in a single blow.
At the head seat, Patriach Mang Cang's eyes flickered with intrigue as he stared deeply at Mo Yu. Finally, he spoke in a low, rumbling voice that resembled a giant serpent's hiss.
"I did not expect the Prison Lord to have reached such a level. To possess such power, you are indeed worthy of being one who shattered the lower-plane shackles and entered the Great Thousand World."
His words echoed through the sky, materializing into visible soundwaves that spread outward. As the waves expanded, the destructive shockwaves emanating from Mo Yu gradually dissipated, as if they had been neutralized entirely.
Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed slightly at this sight, his expression tinged with caution. From this simple move alone, it was clear that Mang Cang had already reached the pinnacle of the Earthly Supreme Realm.
Even so, Mo Yu remained unafraid. A Peak Earthly Supreme was indeed beyond his ability to defeat, but it was equally unrealistic for Mang Cang to try and keep him here by force.
"You flatter me, Patriach Mang Cang," Mo Yu said indifferently. "I came here today for Cai Lin. We became husband and wife in the lower plane. No matter how overbearing the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan may be, you cannot deny this fact.
Otherwise, even if my Thunder Prison is no match for the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, if we truly go to war, I doubt it would be beneficial to either of us."
The green-robed elder's face darkened, but he found himself unable to refute the statement. If Mo Yu had been weak, it would have been a simple matter—they could have easily annulled his marriage with Cai Lin by force.
But now, things were no longer so straightforward. Mo Yu's strength was formidable, making it impossible for the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan to simply dissolve their union without consequences.
Mang Cang remained calm as he glanced between Mo Yu and Cai Lin. With his years of experience, how could he not see that their relationship was something his clan could not easily sever?
Even if they forcibly separated them, they would not gain a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python of noble blood but rather one who harbored boundless hatred toward the clan.
After a brief moment of silence, Mang Cang finally said, "Your marriage to Cai Lin was established in the lower plane, and my Heaven Swallowing Python Clan indeed has no right to interfere. Otherwise, I doubt Cai Lin herself would be willing to accept it."
"Patriach," Cai Lin said at this moment, stepping out from behind Mo Yu. Her clear, cold voice carried unwavering resolve. "I am grateful for the care the clan has given me over the years, but Mo Yu is my husband. No one can change that. If you insist on interfering, I would rather leave the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan."
Hearing this, the green-robed elder's face turned grim, and he was about to speak when Mang Cang raised a hand to stop him.
Mang Cang gazed at Cai Lin and said in a calm voice, "I understand your feelings. However, you are the first Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python to be born in our clan in thousands of years. I hope you will not act recklessly on account of me.
How about this? If the Prison Lord can help you obtain the Ancient Swallowing Python Divine Blood in the upcoming trial at the Divine Beast Origin, then our clan will no longer interfere in your matters. How does that sound?"
Mo Yu let out a faint chuckle upon hearing this and replied, "I accept."
