"Lady Yue Mei, should we kill him?" the Snake-Women who had been guarding outside the forest earlier asked. Their gazes were fixed coldly on Xiao Yan. After all, to the Snake-People, humahe enemy.

  "Wait, don't be hasty. This guy is an alchemist. If he refine pills for our tribe, we give him some bes." Yue Mei said with a charming smile. Her sail slowly extended from Xiao Yan's ao his thigh. She didn't mind exposing her naked, delicate body to his eyes.

  In Yue Mei's view, even if Xiao Yan wasn't a dead man, he was at most a male sve.

  Two figures fshed and appeared behind Yue Mei, draping a bck robe over her to ceal the alluring sight that could make any man's blood boil.

  "Let's go back." As soon as Yue Mei finished speaking, with a rumbling sound, a Rank 3 Desert Giant Python burst out from beh the sand.

  The giant python had a structure resembling a opy on its back. Yue Mei grabbed Xiao Yan by his clothes and pulled him onto the python's back with a flick of her sail.

  The other Snake-People guards also leaped onto the python's back. With a hissing cry, the Giant Python shot off like a gale, shuttling through the yellow sands toward the tribe Yue Mei ruled.

  Xiao Yan sat timidly in the er like a little bride, not daring to make a sound.

  "Hehehe, don't be afraid. If you provide enough pills for our tribe, I'll give you anything you desire." Yue Mei said with a smile as she looked at Xiao Yan, but the gleam in her eyes certainly didn't match her words.

  Xiao Yan nodded, appearing terrified on the surface, but inwardly he couldn't help but snicker, 'You still wao refine pills for you? Just wait until I get into your tribe, I'll burn it all down in one go.'

  After the Giant Python had sped through the desert for nearly half an hour, a city parable in size to Rock Desert City gradually appeared in Xiao Yan's view.

  'Finally here. Acc to the map Hai Bodong gave me, once I pass through this city, I'll quickly reach the Holy City.' Xiao Yaly rejoiced in his heart. He hought he would be able to sneak in so smoothly. Now he just had to wait for the key pyers to arrive and stir things up.

  !? 'Hmm!? They're a day early!' Xiao Yan's eyelid twitched. His Spiritual Strength had sensed several powerful auras rapidly approag from the distance.

  "Hahaha! I said there owerful Snake-Person's aura in this dire. It seems I was right." A hearty ugh carried by Dou Qi resouhrough the desert.

  With several thunderous booms, two figures that had been fshing through the sky at extreme speed suddenly halted. The sharp air currents from their movement sounded like a cp of thunder in the air.

  'Two elite Dou Kings. These must be Lion King Yan Shi and Wind Walker Feng Li of the Ten Stro. Sigh, it seems that old fellow Gu He doesn't really trust Hai Bodong. He actually moved secretly a day in advance.'

  Yue Mei's pretty face turremely solemn as she cast a cold g the two men in the air.

  A resounding r out not long after they appeared. A giant magical beast with a pletely green body gradually emerged in the sky above the desert.

  Six bck-robed figures sat on the back of this powerful Rank 4 magical beast.

  Xiao Yan watched the sudden appearance of these figures. Although none of them showed their faces, he kheir identities from Hai Bodong's letter.

  The one leading in the ter was her than Gu He. The others were all elite experts Gu He had gathered.

  'Tsk tsk tsk, ae Dou Emperor, three advanced Dou Kings, four peak Dou Spirits, and a Rank 4 magical beast. If Queen Medusa doesn't make a move, the entire Snake-People Tribe will definitely be turned upside down.'

  What Xiao Yan was most ed about was the bck-robed figure standing quietly to the side. That was a Dou Emperor, and one Xiao Yan knew.

  Three of the Jia Ma Empire's Ten Stro had arrived!

  But this wasn't enough. If things stayed as they were, Queen Medusa definitely wouldn't rashly go to war with Gu He. He still o add some fuel to the fire.

  "Who are you? Why have you e to the depths of my tribe's territory in the middle of the night? Don't you know it's forbidden for you humans to enter here?" The charming smile on Yue Mei's pretty face had pletely vanished, repced by a cold and stern expression.

  Obviously, she had sensed how terrifying the lineup before her eyes was. She was no longer in the mood for jokes.

  "Hehe. We have indeed e to the Tager Desert for some important matters. I wonder if you could take us into the Holy City to meet Her Majesty the Queen?" Gu He removed the hood of his robe and said with a smile.

  "You want to see Her Majesty the Queen?" Yue Mei's beautiful eyes instantly curved into a dangerous arc upon hearing this.

  "Our Snake-People have been at odds with you humans for many years. Both sides have hands stained with the other's blood. What is there to discuss? If you know what's good for you, I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, ohe eight great leaders of our Snake-People gather, the ranks of experts in your Jia Ma Empire will probably be greatly thinned out."

  "Old He, I told you long ago. Don't even think about iating with the Snake-People Race. These lowly snakes only respond to forot kindness." Yan Shi ughed heartily at the middle-aged man.

  "This one is Yue Mei, the leader of the Mei Sribe. Capturing her will allow us to pass through the Mei Sribe's territory. You've already deyed for some time. If we're te and that thing is gohen it's gone." Feng Li said indifferently.

  Yue Mei's expression was grave. Even if she had never fought these two before, there were no weaklings amoe Dou Kings. Moreover, they were two advanced Dou Kings. She might still have a a one-on-one fight, but in a two-against-ouation, she was sure to lose.

  Yue Mei paid no more attention to Xiao Yan. With a pop, Dou Qi Wings formed behind her as she flew toward the tribe.

  "Stop her!" Yan Shi shouted with a furrowed brow when he saw the sudden surge of Dou Qi on Yue Mei's body.

  Before his voice had even faded, Feng Li beside him transformed into a streak of wind and shot toward Yue Mei like a bolt of lightning.

  "Seique: Division!" Yue Mei's body suddenly trembled, then, to everyone's astonishment, abruptly exploded.

  However, instead of flesh and blood being scattered by the explosion, tless huge snakes of dark green energy poured out from the point of explosion and charged toward all dires like a vast o.

  "What a strange beast teique." Yan Shi casually sent out over a dozen threads of Dou Qi, smashing hundreds of energy snakes into nothingness. Yet, the seemingly endless wave of energy sill surged forward.

  "Fet about her. Let's move. We 't afford to dey any longer."

  The gia fpped its wings. Xiao Yan sat on the yellow sand, watg Gu He and the others preparing to force their way through the Mei Sribe's territory. The only Dou Emperor on the beast gave Xiao Yan a deep, lingering look.

  Xiao Yan sighed and shook his head as he watched the gia grow smaller in the distance. Gu He was a guest elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, so it was natural for him to seek their assistance.

  Aside from Yan Shi and Feng Li, the rest were all from the Misty Cloud Sect. The elite Dou Emperor among them was naturally the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun.

  Hai Bodong had long ago revealed all the information to Xiao Yan. He knew Yun Yun would e along.

  When he saw Yun Yun again, memories of past events involuntarily flooded bato his mind, particurly when he had gone berserk. He had tightly embraced Yun Yun and even bitte one point.

  He shook his head, dispelling all these thoughts. He took out the Soul Robe from his ste ring and put it on again. With a whoosh, he summoned Mao Wu and said, "Mao Wu, follow those people."

  Meow!

  A green light fshed. Xiao Yan took out a Core-Fire Lotus Seed a to Mao Wu as he instructed, "Do everything acc to pn. You follow them. I'll go to the Holy City's treasury to find the Heavenly Fme. Wheime es, listen for my spiritual voice transmission. We'll stir up a big mess for them!"

  Meow~~~
