The Beast Kings held a meeting, their target being Zi Yan.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's massive body hovered in mid-air.
Its enormous lion eyes first fixed on Cai Lin with surprise and uncertainty, then it spoke in a booming voice, "Medusa? You... you actually Breakthrough to Dou Zong?!"
It naturally recognized the infamous Queen of the Snake-People Clan and was well aware that the Snake-People Clan and the Human Empires had always been mortal enemies.
But wasn't it said that Medusa had been stuck at Peak Dou Huang for a long time?
How did she suddenly Breakthrough to Dou Zong?
Immediately, its gaze turned to Shen Wen, who had just spoken, and it said with disdain, "Since when did the proud Snake-People Clan mix with humans?"
Cai Lin did not respond directly, but merely turned slightly, her pale purple eyes calmly looking at Shen Wen, completely ceding the right to speak to him.
This subtle action made the Amethyst Winged Lion King's pupils constrict, and an alarm blared in its heart.
How proud was Medusa, to actually show such a posture towards a human man?
Moreover, isn't Medusa a Dou Zong?
A Dou Zong listening to a Dou Huang?
A trace of horror flashed in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes, and its gaze towards Shen Wen became serious.
Shen Wen's tone was calm, "I am here regarding the Snake-People Clan's migration to the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"The Snake-People Clan migrating? Just you?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, purple light surging around its body. Its massive form rapidly shrank, transforming into a beautiful woman in purple robes with a single horn on her head.
She stared intently at Shen Wen, "The Magical Beast Mountain Range is not a desert. This matter is far-reaching and not something a human like you can meddle in!"
She had her own calculations.
The Snake-People Clan possessed six Peak Dou Huangs; their strength was not to be underestimated.
If not for the surrounding Human Empires constantly eyeing them like a piece of fat meat, restricting their departure from the desert, the Snake-People Clan would have found a better habitat long ago.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King itself was aware of this delicate balance.
Therefore, even though the Magical Beast Mountain Range had excellent conditions, it never worried that the Snake-People Clan could truly move in.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen smiled, but his words sent a shockwave through the Amethyst Winged Lion King's heart: "Xie Bi Yan of the Izumo Empire has already been killed by me.
The Luo Yan Empire and Mu Lan Empire have also received 'warnings' from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
Now, I am here in the Jia Ma Empire to discuss with the Imperial Family. I find the geomancy of this Magical Beast Mountain Range quite good, so I came to greet you, the landlord, first."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the lush mountains below, his tone matter-of-fact: "To take without asking is theft. Since the Snake-People Clan will be your neighbors in the future, it's only proper to show courtesy before resorting to force, to avoid hurting feelings.
Coincidentally, you should call all the other decision-makers in the mountain range here. We'll settle this matter today."
Cai Lin stood quietly beside Shen Wen. Hearing his straightforward, almost domineering words, her red lips moved imperceptibly, but ultimately settled back into calm.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's face completely darkened, its voice filled with suppressed anger: "Human, what arrogance!
Even if Xie Bi Yan truly died by your hand, and even if the Heavenly Serpent Mansion intervened, this Magical Beast Mountain Range is not yours to command!
This King has managed this place for hundreds of years; how can you with just a few words..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Wen impatiently waved his hand, interrupting, "I am not discussing with you."
As his voice fell, an invisible pressure mixed with a deep, dragon-like rumble of thunder suddenly spread out from him.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's questioning in its throat abruptly stopped, turning into a muffled grunt of surprise and doubt.
"Hmm~"
Instinctively, it took half a step back. When it looked at Shen Wen again, its eyes were filled with horror and solemnity.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King suppressed the shock in its heart and said in a deep voice, "Human, this matter cannot be decided by me alone. The Magical Beast Mountain Range is vast; I am not the only Rank Six Demonic Beast."
Shen Wen looked at her at his leisure, his tone somewhat casual: "Oh? Who else? Just call them all here. It saves me the trouble of finding them one by one."
"There are a total of five Beast Kings in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, watching out for each other," the Amethyst Winged Lion King declared, raising its head. "This King only needs to issue a summons, and the other four Beast Kings will naturally come."
Shen Wen heard this and became a little interested, raising an eyebrow: "Five Beast Kings? That means five Dou Huangs... No wonder this Magical Beast Mountain Range can remain independent of the Jia Ma Empire; so this is its foundation."
He then seemed to think of something, shook his head, and chuckled softly to Cai Lin beside him: "Looking at it this way, the Jia Ma Empire is truly quite pathetic.
Among the three surrounding Empires, either the Imperial Family suppresses the Sects, or the Sects control the Imperial Family, always able to unite. Yet here, the Imperial Family and the Cloud Mist Sect constantly undermine each other, and within its borders, there are also the two major hidden dangers of the Snake-People Clan and your Magical Beast Mountain Range, unable to even find a Dou Zong."
Cai Lin nodded slightly, her clear, cold voice chiming in: "My husband is absolutely right.
It seems that choosing the Jia Ma Empire as the first stop for our clan's migration indeed presents the least resistance."
In fact, she had thought about it for a long time. The main reason was that fellows like Xie Bi Yan would immediately act against the Snake-People Clan if there were any signs of them exploring outwards.
Now, for Cai Lin, migrating the Snake-People Clan was not difficult, but she would eventually have to leave with Shen Wen. When she was not around,
the Snake-People Clan would have no reliance.
Without a sufficiently deterrent background and status against these Four Great Empires, Cai Lin would not leave with peace of mind.
"Since that's the case," Shen Wen's gaze returned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, "then don't delay, issue your summons."
He paused, and although a smile remained on his face, his eyes sharpened, "However, I advise you not to have any ulterior motives, such as sneaking away yourself, or gathering the other Beast Kings to launch a joint attack.
Unless you think that the five of you can outrun a Dou Zong's pursuit and bear the cost of failure."
These words were said lightly, but the threat within them made the Amethyst Winged Lion King's heart clench.
She subconsciously glanced at Cai Lin, who stood quietly to the side.
"Hmph, this King disdains such actions!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly, forcing herself to remain calm.
It was a disguised concession.
She knew that although this human youth before her was only a Dou Huang, the pressure he exerted on her was no less than that of Medusa, who had already advanced to Dou Zong.
She said no more, transforming back into her true form.
She raised her head and let out a strange roar.
This roar was not deafening, but it carried a peculiar rhythm, spreading rapidly like ripples, penetrating layers of mountains and forests, and transmitting towards the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Having done all this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at Shen Wen: "The summons has been issued. In a short while,
they will arrive at this King's Immortal Cave."
Shen Wen nodded: "Very good, then we will wait."
To him, he could kill five Dou Huangs with four punches, but the main thing was that if the Snake-People Clan lived here in the future, these five Dou Huangs could serve as good assistants.
That's why Shen Wen intended to keep them.
After dealing with the matters here, Cai Lin couldn't possibly stay here either.
And it would be soon.
In this Northwest Continent, only Zi Yan and the Fallen Heart Flame were worth exploring; other Heavenly Flames were not worth it.
The main reason was that the Fallen Heart Flame had the effect of accelerating Cultivation.
However, the Jia Nan Academy was established by people from the Lei Clan.
Whether to seize it by force still needed consideration, but Zi Yan was definitely his target.
After all, the one residing in the Dou Di Immortal Cave was Zi Yan's father!
