519: Chapter 519 Returning to the Snake-People Clan, Xiao Yu Threatens

Inside the cultivation room, Hun Tiandi gazed at the purple flame thunder bead in his hand, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, in the Snake King Palace of the imperial palace, Mei Niang sat coiled on the bed, her hands forming seals as she absorbed natural energy, which swirled around her body.

With her breathing, the energy seeped into her body through her pores, traveling through her meridians and circulating along the cultivation pathways.

It was refined into a continuous stream of Dou Qi, tempering every inch of her flesh.

Phew!

Mei Niang suddenly opened her eyes, two beams of sharp light shooting out. Her fiery red lips parted to exhale a breath of turbid air, her enchanting face radiating a jade-like glow.

"Hahaha, this trip to the Central Plains has yielded great gains. My Snake-people Tribe bloodline has evolved, breaking through the bloodline shackles and advancing to the Ancient Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent mutant bloodline. From now on, I can evolve freely once more."

A smile appeared on Mei Niang's seductive face.

The Snake-people Tribe, inherited since ancient times, had seen its bloodline degrade. The original form of a Rank 6 Magical Beast was the Purple Serene Flame Snake, and reaching the peak of cultivation meant only becoming a Dou Zong.

The previous generation's Queen Medusa, through a chance encounter and after consuming the Green Lotus Core Flame, evolved into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python bloodline.

This was also a type of ancient snake bloodline. Later, in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, she obtained the inheritance of the Sky Swallowing Python and evolved into the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

That was a super magical beast at the Dou Sheng level.

The Queen Medusa before her, Mei Niang, belonged to a pair of twin sisters in this generation. However, the harsh ancestral laws of the Snake-people Tribe dictated that only one could remain.

As the elder sister, Mei Niang was unwilling to let her younger sister perish.

She voluntarily gave up the throne and was imprisoned in the death cell by the elders of the Snake-people Tribe. Later, Hun Tiandi secretly infiltrated the tribe and unexpectedly rescued Queen Medusa.

She traveled through the Jia Ma Empire and later sacrificed herself to save Qing Yue in the East Sea Ruins. On the brink of death, Hun Tiandi used the holy flower, a natural treasure, to cleanse her bloodline.

Breaking through and rebuilding, her bloodline finally evolved into the top-tier snake bloodline of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent.

After a life-and-death ordeal during her trip to the Central Plains, her strength advanced to the Dou Zun level.

"The time has come. It is time for this Queen to return to the Snake-people Tribe..." Mei Niang looked up toward the Tagor Desert, her gaze seemingly piercing through endless space to look at the Snake-people Tribe's settlement.

Whoosh...

Mei Niang's figure flickered and vanished from the Snake King Palace, streaking toward the Tagor Desert and quickly leaving the Dazheng Dynasty.

Just after Mei Niang left, the figure of the Blood Shadow Clone appeared atop a palace, his deep gaze fixed on the direction she had gone.

"Li Jingzhong!" the Blood Shadow Clone said calmly.

"Your Majesty!" Li Jingzhong replied respectfully from behind.

"Dispatch Liu Ling to lead some people and secretly follow Mei Niang to the Snake-people Tribe to protect her safety," the Blood Shadow Clone commanded indifferently.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant will arrange it immediately!" Li Jingzhong slowly departed.

Whoosh!

Soon, led by Liu Ling, several figures streaked into the high altitude and vanished into the sky.

Tagor Desert, Snake-people Tribe.

Inside a pitch-black hall, at the center sat a snake-person throne that only the ruler of the Snake-people Tribe could occupy, symbolizing the Queen's majesty.

Currently, an enchanting woman in a purple-red dress leaned against the throne, wearing a crown. She had pale purple eyes and proud, snow-white peaks.

Adorned with golden patterns, her lower body did not have the familiar human feet.

Instead, it was a thick purple snake tail with shimmering scales that glinted with a deep purple light, occasionally swaying and brushing against the fine jade-paved floor of the royal hall.

Her entire being naturally exuded a seductive and glamorous temperament that could enchant heaven and earth.

The ruler of the Snake-people Tribe, Queen Medusa.

Below the throne were the Eight Great Chiefs of the Snake-people Tribe, currently staring furiously at four figures in the hall.

"Your Majesty, by the order of the Xiao Family Clan Leader, we invite the Queen to join us in slaying Hun Tiandi and destroying the Dazheng Dynasty."

The speaker was an elder of the Xiao Family from the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yu. She had long, flowing hair and an exquisite body, especially her legs, which were straight and white—truly a stunning sight.

"The Xiao Family Clan Leader, Xiao Lin?" Yue Mei smiled enchantingly and spoke slowly.

"Hahaha, since when did the Xiao Family's reach extend to my Snake-people Tribe, giving orders to my people?"

From the throne, a voice full of temptation and majesty rang out from Queen Medusa's mouth.

"Your Majesty, you..." Xiao Yu was exasperated. Originally, when the Xiao Family issued the order, Xiao Yu had volunteered to execute the plan.

She thought it would be easy as she led a group from the Xiao Family toward the Tagor Desert.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, do not forget that the previous generation's Queen of the Snake-people Tribe is still the Matriarch of my Xiao Family. Won't you cooperate with my Xiao Family for the sake of past ties?"

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, suppressing her anger for the sake of the family's grand plan.

"It is precisely because of past ties that I have not taken offense at your previous rudeness."

"Slay Hun Tiandi? Destroy the Dazheng Dynasty? Previously, your Xiao Family dispatched three Dou Sheng, three Half-Saints, and several Dou Zun, only to return in utter defeat, losing all face."

"Now, you still have the audacity to speak so boldly before me. You truly don't know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth."

Queen Medusa mocked.

Hahaha!

In the royal hall, the Eight Great Chiefs of the Snake-people Tribe all showed disdainful smiles, their eyes filled with mockery as they looked at Xiao Yu and her group.

"You..."

Xiao Yu said angrily, as a terrifying pressure at the Dou Sheng level erupted from her, filling every inch of the hall.

Thud...

Following that, the Eight Great Chiefs, who had been laughing wildly, felt that icy killing intent. It was as if a mountain weighing a hundred thousand catties had been placed upon them.

Unable to withstand this extreme aura, they collapsed onto the ground one after another, unable to move.

Their eyes were filled with terror. They were like small boats in a storm, liable to be destroyed at any moment.

Light flickered on their bodies as they all revealed their true forms as magical beasts.

"Oh? Xiao Yu, are you trying to intimidate me? Is the Xiao Family prepared to break ties with my Snake-people Tribe?"

Queen Medusa's face on the throne darkened completely. Sitting upright, she naturally felt that bone-chilling aura as well.

Her red lips moved slightly as she looked at Xiao Yu with a solemn expression.

"Threaten? No, no. This Saint is merely giving Your Majesty a friendly reminder. If you cooperate with my Xiao Family and plan together, the Xiao Family and the Snake-people Tribe will naturally remain friends."

Xiao Yu smiled triumphantly, releasing the pressure of a Dou Sheng. This feeling of controlling the life and death of others made her addicted.

Hahaha!

"Good, very good! I announce that as of today, my Snake-people Tribe breaks all ties with the Xiao Family. When we meet in the future, we shall not be allies, but enemies."

Queen Medusa said coldly, her voice like rolling thunder echoing throughout the entire Snake-people Tribe settlement.

"The Snake-people Tribe obeys Your Majesty's command!"

Suddenly, from outside the royal hall, a deafening response rang out, shaking the sky.

"Queen Medusa, do you really not want to reconsider the future of the Snake-people Tribe?"

Hearing this, shock appeared on Xiao Yu's beautiful face. Her Dou Sheng pressure even wavered. It seemed she had already botched the task her family had given her.

What Xiao Yu hadn't expected was that this Queen of the Snake-people Tribe would have such a fierce temperament.

"Elder Xiao Yu, retract your aura. Such forceful intimidation will only make matters worse."

An elder behind her spoke up, reminding the enraged Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu suppressed her anger and withdrew her powerful aura, speaking calmly: "Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness."

"I hope Your Majesty will cooperate with the Xiao Family for the sake of the previous Queen Medusa."
