Although Mu Ya found the Lord a bit crazy, she would definitely obey whatever the Lord decided.
However, she felt somewhat ashamed afterward.
"Conquering the Dwarf Kingdom is an expedition. It's about seven hundred kilometers away from the Immortal-Demon Tribe. It's far beyond my attack range, and I can't help you! I'm ashamed, my Lord!"
After being transformed into a troop building of the Immortal-Demon Tribe, Mu Ya and her true form could only operate within the territory of the Immortal-Demon Tribe.
Beyond that range, she would be powerless.
However, Xiao Mo had always viewed Mu Ya as the guardian of the Immortal-Demon Tribe.
As long as the territory of the Immortal-Demon Tribe was well protected, it was enough. As for wars with other forces, she was never intended to participate.
"No need to be ashamed! You don't need to fight! With our territory's current strength, we are more than capable of destroying the Dwarf Kingdom!"
With the Lord's comfort, Mu Ya's expression brightened considerably.
What Xiao Mo said was true; the Immortal-Demon Tribe's strength was indeed sufficient to conquer the Dwarf Kingdom.
Although the Dwarf Kingdom had a peak Sovereign-level old national advisor, the Immortal-Demon Tribe also had Mu Chunrou, a peak Sovereign-level Woodfolk High Priest.
As for the remaining combat power, the Immortal-Demon Tribe far surpassed the Dwarf Kingdom.
Therefore, this war to conquer the Dwarf Kingdom would certainly not be difficult.
After finishing his conversation with Mu Ya, Xiao Mo first went to check on the progress of the Black Blood Dragon Python's "incubation."
He had to admit that the continuous infusion of water spiritual energy by seven Black Blood Dragon Pythons made the Black Dragon Emperor's egg appear even more lustrous and black.
At the same time, he could feel a strong life force surging within the Black Dragon Emperor's egg, indicating that the little black dragon was gradually being born.
At the current pace, he believed the Black Dragon Emperor's egg would be successfully hatched tomorrow!
Afterward, Xiao Mo silently left the territory's city.
He had been living in the city too comfortably for too long, and he needed to find some magical beasts to stretch his limbs.
At the same time, he could adapt to his Spiritual-tier strength and consolidate his power.
With his strength reaching the Spiritual tier, he generally didn't need to worry about his safety when venturing out.
Moreover, with the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City stationed in the clouds, even if he encountered a peak Sovereign-level magical beast, it could be blown to smithereens with a single shot.
...
It wasn't until the sun set in the west that Xiao Mo leisurely returned to the city.
He had hunted quite a few magical beasts throughout the day, and he collected all of them, regardless of their rank.
He had even encountered a group of skeleton warriors, but he had killed them all, extinguishing their soul fires.
As for the slain magical beasts, he only collected the Immortal-Demon Stones and Soul Crystals that dropped, leaving the carcasses to rot in the wilderness.
As soon as Xiao Mo entered the city, Mu Ya, as if sensing something, flew to him, her expression appearing extremely serious.
After sensing Xiao Mo for a moment, Mu Ya asked:
"My Lord, did you encounter any undead creatures? You have been marked with an undead imprint!"
"Hmm?"
Xiao Mo frowned in confusion.
"What is an undead imprint?"
He had only encountered a patrol of skeleton warriors on his way back.
However, the strongest of these skeleton warriors was only an eighth-tier Commander.
Xiao Mo had easily killed them, so he hadn't paid any attention to it.
Now, Mu Ya said he had an undead imprint on him, which puzzled him greatly.
Hearing Xiao Mo's question, Mu Ya explained:
"Some powerful leaders of undead creatures will forge undead imprints on their subordinates using their soul fire."
"These undead imprints will remain within them. Once they are killed, the undead imprints will silently attach themselves to the enemy."
"The leaders of undead creatures can use these undead imprints to locate their enemies and seek revenge or pursue them."
Mu Ya paused here, glanced at Xiao Mo, and continued,
"My Lord, did you kill a high-level undead creature today?"
Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
"Yes! The captain of that patrol of skeleton warriors was an eighth-tier Commander!"
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Mu Ya decisively confirmed her conclusion.
"Then it's confirmed! Generally, undead creatures of Commander level or above will have undead imprints!"
"Don't worry! Getting rid of this is easy!"
Xiao Mo waved his hand indifferently and then walked towards the Immortal-Demon Twin Statue.
As soon as Xiao Mo approached, the statue spontaneously emitted dazzling golden-red light, directly shining upon him.
The next moment, a "hiss" sound came from Xiao Mo's back.
Then, a wisp of black smoke rose from Xiao Mo's back.
It moved incredibly fast, as if trying to escape, but in the golden-red light, it instantly dissipated completely.
"This is too magical!"
Mu Ya stared at the scene, her eyes wide with astonishment.
It was known that even for many powerful races, removing an undead imprint required a great price.
Yet, her Lord had simply stood under that statue, and the magical two-colored light had automatically cleared the undead imprint.
This was simply incredible!
"Now the Lord no longer carries the disgusting aura of undead creatures, and the undead race will no longer be able to pinpoint your exact location!"
"Mm..."
Xiao Mo nodded lightly, then his eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.
"However, this shows that the native undead races have also set their sights on me, and even the entire evil, dark, and chaotic factions are slowly noticing me!"
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Mu Ya looked puzzled.
"That shouldn't be the case! The power of this two-colored light is clearly the nemesis of the dark, evil, and chaotic factions. They would avoid it at all costs, so why would they dare to invade your territory?"
Xiao Mo did not answer Mu Ya immediately. Instead, he looked up at the [Immortal-Demon Ancestral Hall] behind the palace.
This ultimate building, exclusive to the Immortal-Demon attribute bloodline faction, was a very hateful structure.
The undead race already detested creatures with Immortal-Demon attribute bloodlines.
Furthermore, although Immortal-Demon power was the nemesis of the dark, evil, and chaotic factions, from another perspective, they were natural enemies.
And the undead race was a typical representative of the dark, evil, and chaotic factions.
Xiao Mo was quite certain that the patrol of skeleton warriors he encountered on his way back was more than eighty percent likely attracted by the aura emanating from the [Immortal-Demon Ancestral Hall].
This aura, which they found so repulsive, had appeared in the Endless Abyss, so they had to come and investigate.
"Mu Ya, regardless of the reason, quite a few forces from the dark, evil, and chaotic factions are now targeting my territory! Therefore, you need to be vigilant!"
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Mu Ya immediately straightened her expression and respectfully saluted Xiao Mo.
"My Lord, please rest assured. From now on, Mu Ya will remain vigilant at all times, meticulously searching the territory's domain, and will not allow any evil forces the slightest opportunity to take advantage!"
