Within the city, there were snake-like figures holding spears everywhere, each one waiting for the flying magical beasts in the sky with a fierce and murderous expression.

Xiao Yan hid between two cracks in the rocks, quietly observing the situation outside. When he saw the huge flying magical beast in the sky, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

“So many important figures! What are they planning to do?”

In his perception, there were clearly many terrifying auras on the back of the flying magical beast, far beyond what he, as a Dou Shi, could handle.

“Four Dou Lings, three Dou Wangs, and one Dou Huang. This lineup is quite rare in the Gamma Empire.”

Yao Chen observed the movements of both sides with his soul power and couldn’t help but marvel.

“Goodness gracious!”

Xiao Yan couldn’t help but exclaim.

“With so many powerful individuals gathered here, how could we possibly have a chance at the Green Lotus Core Flame?”

“Don’t worry, opportunities don’t come from complaining, but from waiting.”

Yao Chen’s calm voice came, which also made Xiao Yan calm down a lot.

They had already learned about the Green Lotus Core Flame from Xu Zong two years ago.

But trying to swallow the Green Lotus Core Flame without a certain level of cultivation would be suicidal. So before searching for the Green Lotus Core Flame, Yao Chen took Xiao Yan to the Warcraft Mountains. It wasn’t until their cultivation reached the Dou Shi realm that they hurried to the Tager Desert to find the Green Lotus Core Flame. Who would have thought that the Green Lotus Core Flame had been taken by the Medusa Queen half a year ago, so they had to rush to the snake people’s city.

Thanks to Xiao Yan’s powerful soul, he was very skilled at hiding his aura and had come all the way to the snake people’s temple without alarming anyone.

“In this situation, what we need is the ability to take advantage of the situation. Let’s just watch and see!”

Yao Chen advised.

“I understand!”

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly.

In such a grand scene, his own strength was insignificant.

But wasn’t there a teacher?

After using the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva, the teacher’s soul power had already recovered to the Dou Zong realm! No matter what happened, the teacher would have his back. Previously, in the Warcraft Mountains, it was also thanks to the teacher’s help that he obtained the Beast Fire of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

However, the teacher never acted easily. After traveling for a whole year, he only took action once at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s place. This was definitely the teacher’s intention to cultivate his independent strength and not rely too much on him. Xiao Yan naturally understood this painstaking effort.

“There’s movement!”

Yao Chen spoke up.

“Humans, why did you intrude into our snake people’s holy city without permission? Are you trying to provoke a war between the two sides?”

A figure slowly rose from the city wall, a female snake person who opened her Dou Qi wings, her cold voice lingering in the sky.

On the flying magical beast, several people looked at each other.

“Elder Gu, delay Yan Ran.”

Yun Yun, covered in a black robe, whispered to Gu He.

Gu He nodded secretly, then spread his Dou Qi wings and left the flying magical beast.

“I am Gu He, may I know how to address you?”

“Gu He!”

The female snake person’s pupils contracted upon hearing this name.

The name of the Dan King Gu He was very famous throughout the Gamma Empire, even the Dou Huang level experts had to give him face.

“I am the captain of the Queen’s personal guard, Hua She!”

The female snake person slightly retracted her lower body, showing signs of increased vigilance.

“Dan King Gu He, please leave quickly! We have already sent a message to the leaders of the eight surrounding tribes, and they will come over immediately. By then, even if you want to leave, you may not be able to!”

“Please relay a message on behalf of Hua Miss, I am not here to provoke, but to make a deal with the Queen! I am willing to exchange three Grade Six Dou Ling Pills and one Transformation Pill for the Exotic Fire in the Queen’s hands!”

“Transformation Pill?”

Hua She was slightly surprised upon hearing this. The Grade Seven pill, Transformation Pill, had the effect of transforming a magical beast into a human. It was also applicable to their snake people, who were a half-human, half-magical beast race. It could completely transform them from half-human, half-snake into human form!

It should be noted that under normal circumstances, the magical beast race had to reach at least the Dou Zong realm to transform into human form. Among the entire snake people race, there wasn’t even one snake person who could transform into human form. One could imagine how tempting the Transformation Pill was to the snake people.

The Grade Six Dou Ling Pills were also extraordinary pills that could unconditionally increase the strength of a Dou Wang level expert. They were also precious to the entire snake people race.

Upon hearing this, Hua She hesitated and didn’t know how to respond.

Gu He was not in a hurry, but silently waited.

“You should all leave.”

After thinking for a while, Hua She’s expression turned cold.

“My Queen is currently in seclusion. If you want the Exotic Fire, wait until my Queen comes out of seclusion!”

“I wonder when will the Queen come out of seclusion?”

Gu He frowned, somewhat puzzled.Queen Medusa is a Dou Emperor powerhouse, and one of the top among them. No one knows how long she would be in seclusion, and why did she choose to do so after obtaining the Exotic Fire?

“When the Queen will come out of seclusion is her decision. As a guard, how could I decide what the Queen thinks? Dan King, you might as well wait for a year or two!”

Hua She’er said coldly.

“A year or two?”

Gu He’s brows furrowed even tighter.

He had a vague guess in his heart, but considering that the young sect master had already infiltrated the city, he wasn’t in a hurry, and continued to argue with Hua She’er.

Below, the hidden Xiao Yan was secretly anxious.

“Why aren’t they fighting? If they don’t fight, how can I benefit from their conflict?”

He was just a Dou Shi, far from being able to act under the eyes of a Dou Wang. If he acted rashly, he would definitely be pierced by a spear. Only when these people started fighting and had no time to pay attention to him, could he fish in troubled waters!

“Hmm? There’s a fluctuation of soul power?”

Suddenly, Yao Chen’s surprised voice sounded in Xiao Yan’s heart.

“Could it be that someone is fighting with soul power?”

“Where?”

Xiao Yan was taken aback and quickly asked.

“East!”

Yao Chen said.

“There are traces of Exotic Fire in all four directions of the city, presumably Queen Medusa’s trick to confuse people. But this trick can’t fool me. The east is exactly where the Green Lotus Core Flame is. It seems that someone has seen through this trick, infiltrated Queen Medusa’s location, and started a fight with her!”

Xiao Yan pondered for a while.

He glanced at the people in the sky, his eyes turned, and a plan formed in his heart.

He took a deep breath.

“Someone is assassinating the Queen!!”

This voice was extremely loud, spreading across half of the city in an instant.

The snake-human warriors guarding the city were immediately enraged. They were all extremely loyal to the Queen and could not tolerate any offense against her. Without hesitation, they threw their poison-coated spears towards Gu He’s direction!

Gu He’s brows furrowed, a layer of Dou Qi protection appeared on his body, easily blocking the spears.

“Could it be that the young sect master has been exposed? If two Dou Emperors meet and start a fight, they will definitely be exposed… In that case, let’s keep these Dou Wangs outside busy here!”

Gu He quickly asked the two Dou Wangs on the flying beast to take action.

Seeing Gu He calling for help, looking like he was going to forcibly take the Exotic Fire, the snake-human tribe was also furious. Several Dou Wangs flew into the sky and tangled with them!

The entire snake-human city was instantly in chaos.

“Hehe!”

Xiao Yan chuckled, concealed his breath, and quickly rushed towards the east of the city!

…………

In the east of the snake-human city, in the depths of the dense forest, countless snake-human warriors were patrolling. In the deepest part of the forest, there was a huge temple.

After infiltrating the city, Xu Zong, with the keen sense of fire energy from the Flameless Body Movement, saw through Queen Medusa’s illusion and came to this temple in the far east.

Easily dodging all the patrol teams with the Ten Thousand Thread Flow Body Movement, Xu Zong entered the depths of the temple as if he was in an uninhabited territory. After walking through the corridor for a while, he passed through the temple and came to a lake.

The lake was very small, and Xu Zong could see its edge at a glance. He lifted his feet off the ground and flew into the lake.

With a splash, a snake-shaped beast emerged from the water. Its blood-red eyes were full of killing intent. It leaped out of the water and bit towards Xu Zong.

To avoid alerting Queen Medusa, Xu Zong used his soul power, condensed it into a hammer, and hit the little snake, making it see stars and slowly sink.

Xu Zong easily crossed the lake and came to the island in the middle of the lake.

On the island, Xu Zong followed a winding path for a while and came to an open area in the center of the island. The surrounding trees had been cleared, leaving only a small pool about 3.3 meters long and wide in the center. The pool was filled with crystal clear water, and mist was swirling above it.

In the middle of the pool, there was a blue flame placed on a crystal lotus seat. Even from a distance, one could feel the scorching heat.

Xu Zong’s gaze shifted to the left, and a stunningly beautiful face came straight into his sight.

The woman’s slender purple eyes were naturally charming. Her luxurious purple robe tightly wrapped her exquisite body, outlining her full and curvaceous figure.

Further down, a purple snake tail was swaying back and forth in the pool. Her slender waist twisted like a snake, attracting all the men’s attention.

Xu Zong nodded secretly.

As expected of a snake spirit, this charm was natural. It was just that the snake tail on her lower body was too scary. If she transformed into a human form, she would keep many men awake at night.

“There’s a saying that one should not look at what is improper, but I’m not a polite person, so I’ll just look!”

The third chapter will be in half an hour. I’m a bit busy during the day, so I’m working hard.
