Ten minutes earlier, in the Immortal Demon Small City.
Ao Feng the Fire Dragon had shamelessly begged Xiao Mo for mercy.
He was truly terrified now.
He had thought that by specifically changing into a spiritual body, he would not be discovered.
Moreover, he had deliberately left his main body a hundred kilometers away on a mountain peak.
Yet, he had still been discovered by the young lord before him.
Not only that, but his subordinate’s powerful figures had been sent to his side without him even noticing.
His main body had been directly killed by the combined efforts of three powerful Monarch-tier powerhouses.
He now understood.
He was no match for any one of these three Monarch-tier powerhouses, let alone facing all three at once.
Therefore, his main body being killed was not unjust at all.
All he wanted now was to survive, to live.
Even without his main body, as long as his soul remained, he was considered alive.
There were powerful medicinal herbs in this world that could reshape a living being's flesh.
Even if he was unlucky and could not reshape his flesh, he could transform into a bone dragon or other creatures.
At least, that would mean he was still alive, wouldn’t it?
But if his soul were to be annihilated as well, then he would truly be dead.
Even the most powerful resurrection spell would be useless.
Unfortunately, Ao Feng knew that he had no right to choose his fate now.
Whether his soul could survive or not depended entirely on the young lord before him.
Moreover, his soul was being held tightly by Mo Wuxin, and he could not break free.
"Lord, please, do not annihilate my soul!"
"I swear, I, Ao Feng the Fire Dragon, will surrender to you from today onwards, and will always fight for you!"
Ao Feng now lacked the arrogance he had upon arrival, instead becoming extremely humble, even subservient.
However, this was normal. After all, in the face of survival and death, most beings in the universe would make the same choice.
It was better to live a dog's life than to die a good death.
Even divine dragons were no exception.
His main body had been annihilated, and if his soul were to disappear as well, he would bid farewell to this world permanently.
Xiao Mo glanced at Ao Feng, who had completely lost his backbone, and curled his lips.
"It's very simple to stay alive. You just need to answer a few questions for me seriously!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Lord, please ask, I will tell you everything I know!"
Ao Feng’s soul, in Mo Wuxin’s hand, was like a well-behaved lapdog, awaiting its master's gentle pat.
"I ask you, what is going on over at the Sky Fox Sacred Mountain? What did the Dragon Clan and the Sky Fox Death Guard Clan do to Mu Ya?"
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's question, Ao Feng's eyes flickered, as if he was contemplating some trick.
Xiao Mo saw this subtle movement and then gave Mo Wuxin a look.
The next moment, a black flame ignited in Mo Wuxin's hand, which was holding Ao Feng's soul.
"Awooo…"
Ao Feng immediately howled, but the sound was extremely seductive, and it was unclear whether it was from pain or pleasure.
"Answer honestly when the master asks. If you try any more tricks, I will make you even more 'seductive'!"
Mo Wuxin's cold voice made Ao Feng, who had just recovered, tremble.
When you are under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head!
It's better to confess honestly!
With this thought, Ao Feng decisively revealed everything about Mu Ya's situation.
Furthermore, he explained the entire detailed process without any omissions, taking a full five minutes to speak.
In the end, Ao Feng even praised Mu Ya, telling Xiao Mo that Mu Ya was only trapped and not in any mortal danger.
After listening to Ao Feng's account, Xiao Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Mu Ya was not in mortal danger, that was good.
However, for this Sky Fox Death Guard Clan that had ganged up to bully him, they should be exterminated!
"I will ask you again, what is the overall strength of your Dragon Clan? What is the strength of the Dragon King?"
This time, Ao Feng was very honest and readily confessed.
"The Dragon Clan has a total of five thousand adult divine dragons. Once a divine dragon matures, it signifies its strength has advanced to the Spirit tier!"
"In addition, the Dragon Clan has over thirty Monarch-tier divine dragons. Among them, the Dragon King is the strongest, already possessing Half-Saint strength. She is currently in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Saint tier and achieve the position of a Saint!"
Hearing Ao Feng's answer without hesitation, Xiao Mo was somewhat surprised.
He then said in a playful tone, "You've told me so readily, do you know that you are betraying the Dragon Clan?"
However, this statement did not make Ao Feng feel any shame. Instead, he began to flatter Xiao Mo.
"Because I am pragmatic. I know that following you, Lord, will surely lead to a bright future!"
Although he said this, both he and Xiao Mo knew the truth of the matter.
After their main dragon bodies were destroyed, although their souls had a chance to reshape their flesh, the probability was not high.
Therefore, most dragon souls would, under the constraints of the world's laws, slowly evolve.
They would become Ghost Dragon Souls or Dragon Soul Fiends. Neither of these soul beings were good.
Ghost Dragon Souls belonged to the undead race, while Dragon Soul Fiends were even more evil.
But what they had in common was that, with the passage of time, they would gradually lose their original memories, eventually becoming ferocious creatures.
And the Dragon Clan did not recognize any dragon souls that had become Ghost Dragon Souls or Dragon Soul Fiends.
Therefore, it could be said that when Ao Feng's main body was killed, the Dragon Clan no longer acknowledged him.
Medicinal herbs for reshaping flesh were very rare. It would be good if the entire Dragon Clan had one or two, so they would not waste them on such a dragon with little value.
Thus, for Ao Feng, since he no longer belonged to the Dragon Clan, there was naturally no talk of betrayal.
In addition, his life and death were now entirely in Xiao Mo's hands.
If he wanted to live, he had to answer Xiao Mo's questions honestly.
"Last question, do you think your Dragon King can successfully advance?"
Ao Feng nodded without hesitation and said, "She definitely can! Because she accidentally obtained a fragment of a Dragon God's Dragon Pearl a while ago!"
"Dragon God's Dragon Pearl fragment?"
Xiao Mo frowned slightly. He had heard of such things before.
Humans needed to condense a divinity to prove the Way and become gods, and dragons naturally needed it too.
However, what dragons condensed was not called divinity, but Dragon Pearl.
Before becoming a Saint, the power source of a divine dragon was called Dragon Yuan. Upon becoming a Saint, the Dragon Yuan would condense into a Dragon Pill. When they advanced to Dragon God, they would condense a Dragon Pearl.
This Dragon Pearl was equivalent to the divinity within the bodies of human gods.
"Lord, the overall strength of the Dragon Clan is still very formidable. There are five thousand Spirit-tier and above, plus the Saint-tier Dragon King and over thirty Monarch-tier divine dragons. I'm afraid we won't be able to resist. Perhaps we should strategically withdraw for now!"
Ao Feng said cautiously again, then immediately noticed Xiao Mo's cold gaze and his neck snapped back.
Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, completely exasperated by the shamelessness of this fire dragon soul.
"Alright, throw this guy into the Soul Reincarnation Pool as well, let him develop his intellect properly!"
"As you command, Master!"
Mo Wuxin respectfully bowed, then, like dragging a dead dog, slowly dragged Ao Feng towards the [Immortal Demon Ancestral Hall].
Immediately after, Xiao Mo summoned Xian Junhe and had Mo Wuqing open a spatial portal according to the coordinates Mu Ya had transmitted.
"Junhe, the rest is up to you!"
"I have only one requirement: not only must Mu Ya be rescued, but the Sky Fox Sacred Mountain must also be taken down!"
"Anyone unwilling to submit, one word: kill!"
