175: Conquering the demon!

Gu Fei stopped beside the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, squatted down, and touched the water with his hand.

In that instant, a deep yellow ice crystal rapidly climbed up his arm. Fortunately, Gu Fei had a strange flame protecting him, which instantly melted the congealed ice crystals.

"Caier, Zi Yan, this place is extremely cold. I'm afraid even members of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan cannot endure it for long!"

"Therefore, except in special circumstances, no one usually comes here!"

"You two wait for me here. I'm going to the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs!"

"Husband, be careful!"

"Plop!"

Gu Fei gave them a few instructions, then his figure moved, directly plunging into the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, rushing towards the bottom like lightning.

The yin and cold Qi in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs was terrifying. Gu Fei had only descended for a short while when he felt that this cold Qi could threaten some powerhouses at the low-tier Dou Zun cultivation level.

However, with his current cultivation reaching Advanced Half-Saint, if he still couldn't enter such a place, it would be quite laughable.

"Hiss, hiss!"

Soon, a faint strange sound suddenly entered his ears. Immediately, Gu Fei noticed that the water flow behind him suddenly accelerated.

In Gu Fei's vision, from the depths of the Yellow Springs, a dense black mist rapidly spread towards him. Those were not "black mist" but countless small, pitch-black snakes covered in strange scales.

And the piercing hissing sounds around him were also emitted by these strange snakes.

"Chirp, chirp!"

When these strange snakes were still a long distance from Gu Fei, they opened their ferocious mouths, and countless deep black water arrows shot out from their mouths.

The whooshing sound of the water breaking caused the surrounding lake water to emit low explosions.

"Get lost!"

Gu Fei attacked, sending out several scorching energy blasts to repel some of the strange snakes.

However, there were too many of them, and Gu Fei didn't get entangled. He accelerated downwards.

Before long, a glimmer of light appeared at the end.

At this depth, the strange snakes seemed to be somewhat wary and did not continue to follow.

"Is this the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs?"

Soon, what appeared before Gu Fei was an extremely vast expanse of sandy ground.

"Save... me..."

Suddenly, a faint groan passed through the water and reached Gu Fei's ears.

"Splash!"

Gu Fei grabbed downwards with his palm, and a palm print was immediately made on the sandy ground.

A hundred-zhang-long iron chain, buried beneath the sand, was exposed to Gu Fei's sight. Gu Fei grabbed it from a distance, and the iron chain was slowly pulled out by him.

As the iron chain was pulled out, the other parts of the ground also suddenly vibrated, and three more huge iron chains rose from the mud.

In the center of the iron chains, there was a large mass of pitch-black mud, and as the mud dispersed, what was inside gradually revealed itself.

It was a shriveled person, like a skeleton.

"To be locked in the dark depths of the Yellow Springs for so many years, what suffering!"

Looking at the skeletal figure, Gu Fei sighed inwardly.

Such inhuman torture, lasting for so many years, he wondered how he endured it.

"Save me... save me..."

"If you save me, I will make the entire Nine Serene Earth Python Clan pledge allegiance to you!"

As Gu Fei looked at the shriveled figure, the latter's sunken eyes suddenly opened, looking at Gu Fei with a hint of joy.

"Pledge allegiance to me?"

Listening to the promise made by the skeletal person, Gu Fei hesitated.

As a Prodigy of the Gu Clan, he might inherit the position of Gu Clan Chief in the future. He wouldn't even consider ordinary people who wanted to follow him.

However, someone like Yao Ming did have some redeeming qualities. He was originally the Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan, and his cultivation had reached Two-Star Dou Sheng, making him a decent powerhouse.

Even a powerful clan like the Gu Clan wouldn't be so arrogant as to refuse the allegiance of a Dou Sheng.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The previous struggle and shouts seemed to have consumed a lot of the skeletal figure's Qi, and even his breathing became rapid... From within the four huge chains, extremely cold energy continuously emanated, consuming the Dou Qi produced within his body.

This kept the skeletal figure in an extremely weakened state.

But at the same time, this consumption would not directly take his life.

Thus, he could only cling to life in this perpetual consumption, which was even more unbearable than killing him.

"Young friend, I am Yao Ming, the Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan... As long as you can save me, I will definitely fulfill my promise just now and pledge allegiance to you!"

As Gu Fei hesitated, the skeletal figure spoke again.

"You are not the Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan now; Yao Xiaotian is..."

Gu Fei smiled and shook his head.

"That bastard Yao Xiaotian, he used a poisonous scheme to seize my position back then and sealed me at the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs!"

"This beast has made me suffer the torment of yin and cold Qi for hundreds of years!"

"If I am fortunate enough to see the light of day again in this life, I, Yao Ming, will surely make him wish he were dead!"

Upon hearing the name Yao Xiaotian, the eyes of the man who called himself Yao Ming instantly turned bloodshot.

Gu Fei was naturally very clear about the grievances between these two.

Yao Ming was powerful and the most legitimate candidate for the Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan.

Yao Xiaotian understood this point and usually acted respectfully towards Yao Ming, but secretly, he plotted a poisonous scheme.

It must be said!

Yao Ming being sealed here for hundreds of years, his fate was indeed quite tragic.

"I will help you get out, but the fight for the Clan Chief position will depend on you!"

Gu Fei sighed softly and agreed to Yao Ming's request.

"I possess the Nine Serene Nether Staff, which is the token of the Clan Chief of my Nine Serene Earth Python Clan..."

"As long as I can escape from the bottom of the Yellow Springs and deal with Yao Xiaotian, then I will be the new Clan Chief!"

Hearing this, Yao Ming quickly demonstrated his value to Gu Fei.

"Young friend, you only need to help me shatter the Yellow Springs Yin Stone, and I can come out!"

"Hmm!"

Gu Fei nodded lightly.

He then found the other end where the four chains were connected: a Yellow Springs Yin Stone containing powerful yin and cold Qi.

"Bang!"

After multiple attacks, the Yellow Springs Yin Stone finally shattered. In that instant, Yao Ming exerted force, and the chains broke apart.

And just as Yao Ming broke the Seal, a magnificent palace deep within the Nether Serpent Earth Vein was extremely lively.

On the throne in the main hall sat a man dressed in black.

As the black-clad man's eyes slightly opened and closed, a sharp glint flashed, like a venomous snake that could instantly kill someone.

Beside the man, two enchanting women carefully massaged his body, and his large hands constantly roamed over their soft, delicate bodies.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the black-clad man's slightly closed eyes snapped open, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes: "The Seal actually broke?"
