314: Chapter 314 The Cage Queen, the Moon Manifests its Power

"Queen Medusa?" The woman in chains uttered with bone-chilling killing intent and resentment.

The woman seemed to think of something; a terrifying aura emanated from her eyes as she tried to break free from the bronze chains, causing countless mysterious runes and restrictions to flicker.

The chains on her fair wrists glowed, suppressing the caged woman's aura.

Hun Tiandi was shocked. After taking a deep breath to calm down, his gaze fell upon the high platform, but his body was prepared to retreat.

"A little fellow with quite the courage, sneaking into the temple alone. How interesting!"

She looked up at Hun Tiandi, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"Senior, I don't have the ability to save you. You're on your own..." Hun Tiandi was retreating, intending to leave through the bronze door.

"This King senses a terrifying item on you that can sever these chains. If you succeed, I will grant you a great fortune!"

The caged queen said sharply. Right now, the most important thing was to escape her shackles, and this human youth was her only chance.

Hun Tiandi looked at the glamorous queen, feeling an overwhelming sense of royal pressure. Facing a powerful expert at the Dou Huang level, he couldn't relax at all.

Although the queen was currently imprisoned, her luxurious purple robes covered a perfect, alluring body with explosive curves that radiated charm at every moment.

Her pale purple eyes held infinite enchantment, enough to make almost any man's blood boil.

A section of her purple snake tail swept back and forth occasionally.

Now, the queen's beautiful eyes stared at the human youth before her, deep and crystal clear.

"I wonder what kind of opportunity the Queen is offering?" Hun Tiandi asked in a heavy voice. He had risked a great deal to scout the temple at night, originally hoping to find the Snake-people Tribe's treasury.

However, no one expected such a massive shock right at the start.

Finding an imprisoned queen was truly bad luck.

"How about the Snake-people Tribe's treasury?" the Queen spoke directly, knowing that ordinary treasures would likely not be enough to make him act.

"Deal!" Hun Tiandi smiled upon hearing this. Despite the twists and turns, it was a success.

Swish...

"Pick up the pace! Whoever dares to touch my Sister Xiao, I'll have his life!" At this moment, high above the Tagor Desert, dozens of figures streaked through the air as fast as lightning.

Xiao Yingjie had a ferocious expression. Within the clan, he had a very good relationship with Xiao Xiao and admired her greatly.

When Xiao Qi sent back the message that Sister Xiao was heavily injured and on the verge of death, he was furious. He ordered the experts of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group to drop everything and rush into the depths of the desert at full speed.

"Yes, Sect Leader!" The group of experts flapped their Dou Qi Wings and sped forward.

Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Family!

Buzz!

A figure plummeted from the sky, stumbling as they landed. Their face was as pale as snow, and they were incredibly weak, clearly having traveled at high speed without rest.

"I am from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. Quickly, take me to see Clan Leader Xiao. I have an important matter to report!" the middle-aged man said weakly.

Subsequently, the guards at the entrance led the man to meet the clan leader.

In a hall, the middle-aged man finally met the Xiao Family's clan leader, Xiao Lin.

"Leader Xiao Yingjie sent me to deliver a message. In the depths of the Tagor Desert, Miss Xiao Xiao is being hunted. She is critically injured and needs rescue!"

After the man finished speaking, his head slumped as he fainted.

"What? My sister!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin abruptly stood up from the main seat, a powerful aura erupting from him as he shot into the sky.

"The Clan Leader is furious?" The experts of the Xiao Family who were in seclusion sensed Xiao Lin's rage and were filled with confusion.

"From this moment on, every expert not in seclusion shall head to the Tagor Desert with me..."

Xiao Lin shouted angrily, then arranged for the man to be taken down to rest.

He slashed his palm like a blade through the space in front of him. The void was sliced open like tofu, revealing a massive rift that led to a deep, nihilistic space.

With a grim expression, Xiao Lin stepped into the space and vanished, the rift slowly mending itself.

Swish...

At the same time, from the Xiao Family's manor, several experts soared into the sky, carrying fierce winds as they disappeared into the horizon.

The Xiao Family's massive movement also caught the attention of the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family.

Even the various major powers became alert. One had to know that the Xiao Family was a colossus in the Jia Ma Empire, a juggernaut-like existence.

Almost no one dared to provoke them.

Deep in the desert.

"As long as Xiao Xiao hands over the inheritance of the ancient expert, we shall leave..." an old man in luxurious robes said coldly, looking at the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

They had hunted Xiao Xiao all the way from the Black-Corner Region, covering ten thousand miles. Countless experts had fallen, losing their lives for the sake of the inheritance.

They were only one step away from obtaining it, and they would not give up no matter what.

"You dare? Miss Xiao Xiao is from the Xiao Family. Do you know how terrifying the Xiao Family is? Do you know what kind of wrath you will face?"

The mercenary elder threatened, though he was extremely anxious in his heart.

If reinforcements didn't arrive, things would become uncontrollable.

"Heh, the Xiao Family? The Fighting Qi Continent isn't just the Xiao Family..." the robed old man sneered.

Queen Medusa of the Snake-people Tribe had an unclear attitude and hadn't voiced her stance. To say she had no interest in the ancient expert's inheritance—no one would believe that.

"Your Majesty the Queen, please, for the sake of the Xiao Family, protect our young lady. The Xiao Family will surely show our gratitude afterward!"

The mercenary elder was still trying to gain Queen Medusa's assistance.

"Humph, since you refuse to be sensible, don't blame this old man for being ruthless. Do it!" Suddenly, the robed old man made up his mind. With a wave of his hand, the experts behind him lunged toward Xiao Xiao.

They wanted to seize Xiao Xiao so they could force the ancient inheritance out of her later. They couldn't delay any longer.

Further delays would lead to complications!

Kill!

"How bold!" the mercenary elder shouted angrily. He instructed the people behind him to look after Xiao Xiao and the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python before charging at the robed old man, his surging Dou Qi spreading like a tide.

Energy fluctuated violently, causing the energy of the world to boil.

The mercenary elder was a super expert at the Dou Zong level and held some status in the Jia Ma Empire, but those hunting Xiao Xiao were no ordinary people.

Although Xiao Xiao was injured, she was, after all, a Dou Sheng level expert. A Dou Sheng was a Dou Sheng; even if injured, she wasn't someone ordinary experts could deal with.

"Overestimating yourself!" The robed old man grew tired of the bickering and struck out fiercely. A massive energy palm print whistled down.

In one blow, it shattered the mercenary elder's attack. To be able to hunt Xiao Xiao across ten thousand miles, his strength was naturally terrifying.

Terrifyingly powerful!

At this point, they had to fight for their lives. If anything truly happened to Xiao Xiao, there was no telling what kind of storm would be unleashed.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Leader Yue Mei inquired.

"Act. Stop that group of mysterious people..." Queen Medusa pondered for a moment before ordering the Snake-people Tribe's experts to intervene.

Rumble!

In an instant, the depths of the desert turned into a battlefield.

The Bronze Door!

"Have you made up your mind, human youth?" the caged queen asked coldly, looking at the contemplative Hun Tiandi.

"Deal. I hope Your Majesty will keep your promise after being freed," Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

"Heh, do you think this King is like you hypocritical humans? My Snake-people Tribe values promises above all else!" the caged queen said with disdain.

Hun Tiandi's mouth twitched uncontrollably upon hearing this.

He slowly moved forward, stepping onto the high platform and walking toward the bronze chains. They emanated an ancient aura, with countless mysterious runes intertwined and the flow of restrictive energy.

"Be careful. These bronze chains are not simple. They were forged from Meteoric Iron and are extremely hard!"

The purple-robed queen warned. This was a treasure used by the Snake-people Tribe to imprison their own. Legend had it that it was forged by the first generation of Snake-people Tribe experts at a great cost.

Phew!

Taking a deep breath, he clenched his hand. A ball of eerie blue flame appeared in his palm, surging and rising. As the flame appeared, the temperature in the hall plummeted.

"Heavenly Flame? What kind of flame is this?" the purple-robed queen asked in surprise, crying out as she looked at the bone-chilling flame in the youth's hand.

Because she sensed that this flame was extremely dangerous.
