"Grand Pavilion Master, Prince Qi is inside here," a prison guard said as they walked down a long corridor.
"Mm," Chen Mo nodded. "Wait here. I'll go in alone."
"Yes," the four guards responded in unison, and one of them handed Chen Mo the key to the cell door.
After turning a corner, Chen Mo came face to face with a tightly sealed cell, its walls made of reinforced steel.
As light footsteps approached, the old man inside the cell, without even seeing who it was, said, "Don't waste your effort. This prince will never become a lackey of the Lofty Cloud Pavilion."
The footsteps stopped. After a moment, the sound of a lock turning echoed, followed by the creak of the cell door opening. A rather youthful voice spoke, "It seems Prince Qi holds quite a grudge against my Lofty Cloud Pavilion."
Prince Qi, Su Shounian, was taken aback. It wasn't the seductive female voice he had expected. He raised his eyes slightly, and a handsome young face came into view. "Who are you?"
"My name is Chen Mo. Those who respect me call me the Grand Pavilion Master," Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Chen Mo?" Su Shounian frowned, then exclaimed in shock, "You're the Grand Pavilion Master of the Lofty Cloud Pavilion?"
"That's right," Chen Mo replied indifferently.
"Haha, I never imagined that the Grand Pavilion Master of the Lofty Cloud Pavilion, who led the attack on my kingdom, would be a mere greenhorn," Su Shounian laughed, struggling to his feet. The chains on his wrists and ankles clinked noisily.
"So? Are you here to persuade me to join the Lofty Cloud Pavilion?" Su Shounian continued.
"No, I'm here to send you on your final journey."
At these words, Chen Mo's expression turned cold, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand and placed it on Su Shounian's forehead, silently invoking the Plunder ability.
As 31,000 Luck Points were deducted, a continuous stream of energy from Su Shounian's body flowed into Chen Mo's.
Dou Grand Master, one star.
Two stars.
Five stars.
Peak Dou Grand Master.
Boom!
As the five-colored Dou Crystal in Chen Mo's body condensed into an egg-sized sphere, the bottleneck of the Dou Grand Master shattered.
Chen Mo advanced to Dou Spirit.
Meanwhile, Su Shounian, whose cultivation had been plundered, completely lost his power, becoming a cripple.
"You... you actually crippled my cultivation!" Su Shounian, feeling the Dou Qi in his body completely vanish and becoming a cripple, couldn't accept it and fainted.
Chen Mo paid him no mind, instead focusing on why he hadn't advanced to Dou Emperor.
The system provided an explanation.
Plundering cultivation injected energy into the host in a specific form, but the total energy from the plundered individual was only enough for the host to advance to Dou Spirit.
In other words, Chen Mo's Cultivation Method was too advanced, requiring energy of extreme purity, and his dantian was too vast.
Although Prince Qi's cultivation was high, his Cultivation Method was low, and his energy wasn't pure. Under the transformation of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, only a fraction could truly be utilized by Chen Mo.
The system also hinted that even if Chen Mo plundered someone of the same cultivation level as Su Shounian, he would at most advance by two stars.
"Damn it!" Chen Mo cursed inwardly. It seemed this Cultivation Method was a glutton.
But then again, the Dou Qi stored in his body had been compressed into liquid by the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, forming a sea of energy.

Chen Mo activated the Aura Concealment Technique, concealing his Dou Spirit aura, and walked out of the dungeon.
"He is no longer of use," Chen Mo said as he threw the keys to the waiting jailers outside. With a surge of Dou Qi, he flashed out of the dungeon.
The four jailers understood Chen Mo's meaning. When they arrived at the iron cell where Prince Qi was imprisoned, they found that his cultivation had been crippled, and he had fainted.
The four were shocked. This was a Dou Emperor, and he had been crippled just like that.
While trembling with fear, they quickly disposed of Prince Qi.
...
Night fell.
Wu Ling.
The imperial palace was brightly lit. From above, one could see patrolling soldiers, bustling eunuchs, and palace maids whose steps betrayed an unmistakable panic.
The emperor's study.
At this moment, Emperor Su Zheng Lie was not indulging in wine and women in the rear palace. Instead, he sat in a rather luxurious chair, his face grave and filled with panic.
Below him, rows of ministers knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the prime minister who had just been angrily beheaded by Su Zheng Lie.
The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
The flowing blood was about to reach the spot where they knelt.
"Not a single strategy?" Su Zheng Lie was furious, cursing them all as useless.
None of the ministers dared to speak. They were also aggrieved. The enemy had dispatched a Dou Ancestor, a Four-Star Dou Emperor, and more than ten Dou Kings.
On their side, they only had one peak Dou Emperor, two One-Star Dou Emperors, and seven Dou Kings.
Clearly, they were no match.
In the face of absolute strength, all strategies were futile.
At this moment, a eunuch tremblingly entered, holding a scroll.
The eunuch was terrified because he was carrying a letter of surrender.
The emperor had already executed several who had come to report military intelligence, and just now, he had beheaded the prime minister.
After handing the letter of surrender to Su Zheng Lie, the eunuch quickly knelt and prostrated himself.
Sure enough, after reading it, Su Zheng Lie slammed the letter of surrender onto the desk beside him with a force like a muffled thunderclap.
Su Zheng Lie himself was a Seven-Star Dou King, and the desk could not withstand such power, shattering into pieces.
The eunuch and the ministers pressed their heads even lower to the ground.
After a long while, Su Zheng Lie sighed and handed the letter of surrender to the National Preceptor beside him, saying dejectedly, "Old Mo, at this point, let's surrender."
As his words fell, the entire study fell into silence. If nothing unexpected happened, the Cloud Empire would change dynasties tomorrow.
"Perhaps, I can help you!"
The void trembled, and under the astonished gazes of everyone, a gray-robed man stepped out of the void, revealing himself to the crowd.
...
Southern border of the Cloud Empire.
This area was adjacent to the Ten Thousand Poisons Desert, known as a paradise for poisonous creatures. The sky was filled with swirling toxic fumes, and even Dou King experts dared not enter lightly.
A gust of wind blew, lifting a piece of corroded tree bark from the ground, causing it to float in the air.
The tree bark drifted for an unknown amount of time before finally landing in a rather large courtyard. On the plaque above the courtyard, two characters were faintly carved: Poison Sect.
"Sect Leader, the poison you requested has been found!" As the voice rang out, a group of orderly footsteps entered the courtyard, stepping over the tree bark before everyone came to a halt.
At that moment.
A figure cloaked in black robes emerged from one of the houses, a look of excitement appearing on their delicate face.
"Really? Let me see!"
