449: Chapter 449 The Poison Sect Makes Its Move, Ancient Heavenly Crocodile

"Yes!" Those setting up the formation nodded, saying no more.

At the same time, the Poison Sect received a letter for help from the Emperor of Chuyun. The wording was extremely sincere, promising a very generous reward for rescuing the Izumo Imperial Family.

Xiao Yi Xian's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at the letter in her hand, falling into deep thought.

"Everyone, the Emperor of Chuyun has requested aid, asking us to dispatch experts to kill the two marshals of the Dazheng Dynasty!"

"Sect Master, I believe we should act. First, our Poison Sect is the overlord of the Izumo Empire; striking down the enemy will enhance our sect's prestige. Second, it will make the Izumo Imperial Family indebted to us!"

An old man dressed in green robes spoke in a deep voice.

"Sect Master, I believe this is unwise. Dazheng's military power is extremely strong. According to reports, the Mu Lan Empire and The Four Great Dynasties were destroyed by them!"

"The Izumo Imperial Family is asking for help now because they want to drag our Poison Sect into the mess. Over the years, this Emperor of Chuyun has been ambitious and has made many small moves behind our backs!"

"I think it's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!" the Three Elders of Poison Sect voiced out.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian fell into a dilemma. The Poison Sect was divided into three factions: one for war, one for watching, and one for silence. She didn't know which choice was best.

However, by comparison, taking action seemed better.

Not only could they defeat their opponents, but they could also exert pressure on the Imperial Family. Just as Xiao Yi Xian was about to make a decision, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, people claiming to be from the Xiao Family are waiting outside!" a disciple said respectfully.

"Quickly, invite them in!" Xiao Yi Xian stood up abruptly and said excitedly. It seemed the Xiao Family had seen her plea for help.

They were finally taking action...

Not long after, a graceful figure in moon-white robes walked into the hall; it was Miss Xiao Yuer, followed by the experts of the Xiao Family she had brought this time.

"Sister Yuer, you've finally come!" Xiao Yi Xian smiled apologetically and took Miss Xiao Yuer's hand.

"Xiao Yi Xian, your reputation has spread far and wide. You seem to be doing quite well in this Poison Sect!"

Miss Xiao Yuer said with a smile.

Afterward, the Poison Sect members were told to host the Xiao Family well while the two women discussed their strategy.

"Xiao Yi Xian, are you injured?" Miss Xiao Yuer asked in a low voice as she sat on a chair.

"Yes, I was injured by a young man dressed in green robes. This person is young, but his strength is incredibly formidable, especially his eyes!"

Xiao Yi Xian seemed to recall that day's tragic battle; those were eyes she had never seen before, truly terrifying.

"Oh? To be able to injure you, his strength must be extraordinary!" Miss Xiao Yuer said calmly as she sipped her tea.

"No, this person is named Yun Tian. A traitor appeared in my Poison Sect and was saved by him. Although his strength is at the Dou Wang level, his methods are very bizarre!"

Xiao Yi Xian said solemnly.

Clink!

The teacup in Miss Xiao Yuer's hand crashed to the floor. Her beautiful eyes were vacant, and her mind went blank, with only the name 'Yun Tian' surfacing.

Green robes... Yun Tian?

"It can't be. How could he possibly injure Xiao Yi Xian? Back then in the cave, I lost my virtue to him, and the subsequent pursuit by the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion caused our relationship to hit freezing point!"

Storms surged in Miss Xiao Yuer's heart. If it really was the Yun Tian she knew, then his strength had improved so rapidly.

"Sister Yuer, what's wrong?" Xiao Yi Xian asked worriedly.

"It's nothing!" Miss Xiao Yuer shook her head, seemingly unwilling to answer.

"Xiao Yi Xian, what do you plan to do next?"

"The Poison Sect will act to wipe out the marshals of the Dazheng Dynasty!" Xiao Yi Xian said firmly.

"When will you move?"

"In one month!"

The Poison Sect set its goal and began preparing for the war. A first-level alert sealed off the Poison Sect to prevent information from leaking out.

Within the Pill World!

Mei Niang struck repeatedly, fully displaying the ferocious might of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent. The blood-colored baleful aura was overwhelming, clashing with the black demonic energy, finally revealing the form of the Pill World's magical beast.

Its entire body was covered in black scales, dark and eerie like a malevolent god from hell. Its thick limbs were like divine iron, and the tail on its back was like a divine blade.

It exuded a terrifying aura.

"This is... an Ancient Heavenly Crocodile?" Mei Niang said in surprise. After awakening the bloodline of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent, she had not only received the Heavenly Serpent's inheritance but also records of some ancient races.

The Ancient Heavenly Crocodile was also an ancient race. In ancient times, the Heavenly Crocodile clan was extremely powerful, but as time passed...

Even the most prosperous races could become vulnerable.

Logically, the bloodline of the Ancient Heavenly Crocodile should have long disappeared from the Fighting Qi Continent and ceased to exist.

This Ancient Heavenly Crocodile possessed fifty percent of the Heavenly Crocodile bloodline, and its strength was very formidable.

"Ancient Heavenly Serpent? I didn't expect to encounter a Heavenly Serpent with such pure blood. If I devour you, my bloodline will surely reach the next level!"

The Ancient Heavenly Crocodile hovered in mid-air, its voice like thunder, and its crimson eyes exuded a bloodthirsty glint.

"To devour this Queen, you aren't qualified!" Mei Niang said coldly.

"Jie jie jie, since we both have ancient bloodlines, why kill each other?" The Ancient Heavenly Crocodile gave a sinister laugh as light flickered on its body.

It then transformed into a sturdy human figure nearly two meters tall, with bulging muscles and bursting veins, seemingly containing the power to shatter the heavens.

This tower-like man radiated a vast aura.

It was as if an immemorial divine mountain stood before them.

Swish...

In the distance, Hun Tiandi heard the sound and rushed over, just as the ten thousand soul banner had finished devouring all the magical beasts in the Pill World.

The originally dark purple ten thousand soul banner had transformed into a blood-red color, fluttering in the wind like a peerless demon god.

The three main demon souls within the banner—the Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast, the Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor, and the Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor Soul—had their strength restored to their peak under the nourishment of flesh and souls.

Roar...

They slowly rotated around Hun Tiandi.

"What a fierce demonic tool!" the Ancient Heavenly Crocodile said in a muffled voice. His gaze fell on Hun Tiandi, and instantly, it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Waves surged in Hun Tiandi's heart. Was this big man the peerless magical beast those Alchemists spoke of?

Swish!

In the air above, the blood-colored baleful aura churned, light flowed, and the massive Ancient Heavenly Serpent disappeared, replaced by a charming and seductive figure.

A blood-red dress outlined her full, graceful body, and her proud snowy peaks were partially visible.

She had a slender waist, an incomparably enchanting face, a faint rune imprinted between her eyebrows, and three thousand strands of black hair falling to her waist.

Her pair of light red eyes were incredibly cold.

"You are... Mei Niang?" Hun Tiandi turned to look, dumbfounded. The transformed Mei Niang was even more enchanting.

"Pfft... look at you!" Mei Niang gave a charming smile, as if all the light in the world gathered on her. Her jade feet stepped through the air as she walked toward Hun Tiandi.

"Ahem, there's still someone else here, you two," the big man transformed from the Ancient Heavenly Crocodile spoke helplessly.

"To think you are a bloodline descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Crocodile. Although you inherited part of the bloodline, reaching this level of strength is likely your limit!"

Mei Niang's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the sturdy man and spoke slowly.

"Correct. Since we share ancient bloodlines, help me leave this damned Pill World. I want to go out and find a way to enhance my bloodline; otherwise, my strength won't improve at all!"

The Ancient Heavenly Crocodile said in a muffled voice, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with being trapped in the Pill World.

The most unbearable thing was being unable to leave the Pill World on his own; otherwise, he would have broken out long ago. Now, with the help of this human, he believed it would happen.

Furthermore, he was full of curiosity about the outside world.

"Oh? Taking you away isn't difficult. My condition is that you follow me for a hundred years. After a hundred years, you will have your freedom, and within those hundred years, I will provide all your cultivation resources!"
