177: I can make you see again, and I can also make you

“Everyone, do you still recognize me?”

Just as the powerful cultivators of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan were about to act, Yao Ming raised his head, and his Aura also permeated the air at this moment.

Looking at Yao Ming’s face, which bore some resemblance to Yao Xiaotian, all the members of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan present were stunned.

After a long while, some Elders shrieked in disbelief, “Clan Chief Yao Ming? How is this possible? Back then, didn’t you suffer Qi Deviation during your Cultivation and fall?”

“Clan Chief Yao Ming?”

“He seems to be Clan Chief Xiaotian’s biological Elder brother, the previous Clan Chief!”

“But Clan Chief Xiaotian said he died from Qi Deviation during his Cultivation, and he has been missing for hundreds of years. How could he reappear now?”

Hearing the numerous whispers echoing through the sky, Yao Xiaotian’s face grew even paler.

At this moment, he was severely injured by Zi Yan, and if he were to try to explain anything, he would likely be immediately killed by the enraged Yao Ming.

In the sky, the old man with a crimson poisonous snake coiled on his shoulder coldly shouted, “Quiet down, everyone. Don’t be fooled by this fellow. Perhaps these people are deliberately pretending to be the former Clan Chief, trying to cause internal unrest in our clan!”

“Elders, why aren’t you activating the grand formation to kill him and save Clan Chief Xiaotian!”

Upon hearing this, those snake-human Elders were also startled, and each of them hesitated.

“Elder Xian, Elder Ming, Elder Liu, back then, you were my closest people. Could it be that you don’t even recognize me?”

Hearing Yao Ming’s hearty laughter, the three white-haired Elders’ gazes swept over Yao Ming, and a hint of excitement appeared on their faces.

“It really is Clan Chief Yao Ming. His Aura is quite familiar to the three of us.”

“Ming Chang, the three of you, stop disturbing the clan’s Heart-Nature here. The current Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan is Yao Xiaotian. Are you trying to rebel against the clan with such actions?”

Upon hearing this, the old man with a crimson poisonous snake coiled on his shoulder looked at the three snake-human Elders with a sinister gaze and coldly shouted.

“Heh, Grand Elder, back then, you and Yao Xiaotian poisoned me and ganged up on me, finally trapping me at the bottom of the Yellow Springs for hundreds of years. If not for this young friend’s help, I might never have seen the light of day again. Are you trying to silence me now?”

Yao Ming stood up, completely releasing his Aura as a Two-Star Dou Sheng expert. Immediately after, he spat out a scepter from his mouth.

The scepter was entirely black, with two poisonous snakes coiled around its top. Between the two snakes, there was also a black spherical body the size of a fist.

“Elders, do you still recognize this object?”

“Nine Serene Nether Scepter? It’s actually the Nine Serene Nether Scepter that has been lost for hundreds of years!”

“This is the Clan Chief’s token!”

Looking at the black scepter, all the Elders in the sky changed their expressions, and then a fervent light surged in their eyes.

Legend has it that within the snake pearl of the Nine Serene Scepter, there is the purest Bloodline of the Nine Serene Royal Clan. Possessing this Bloodline would undoubtedly greatly slow down the rate of Bloodline thinning.

“Go and capture the traitors for me!”

Yao Ming directly commanded the Elders.

Now, with the Nine Serene Nether Scepter, most of the Elders sided with Yao Ming, and those confidants cultivated by Yao Xiaotian, seeing Yao Xiaotian being trampled underfoot by Yao Ming and on his last breath, dared not resist.

“Damn it, you imposter, let this old man expose your true face…”

The Grand Elder was clearly unwilling. At this moment, he only wanted to kill Yao Ming. If Yao Ming died, even if the matter became public, no one would stand up for a dead person.

“Hmph, you think you can kill me? You overestimate yourself!” Yao Ming said with disdain.

Although he had suffered torment at the bottom of the Yellow Springs, his Cultivation had advanced instead of regressed. He was now a Two-Star Dou Sheng, with overwhelming strength.

Gu Fei watched quietly. This was an internal matter of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan, and outsiders interfering would cause resentment.

Fortunately, Zi Yan’s previous action had not been seen, and they all thought that Yao Ming had severely wounded Yao Xiaotian.

Soon, Yao Ming and the Grand Elder of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan were locked in battle, with continuous roars.

“Everyone, that person is truly an imposter! Hurry and capture him!”

Yao Xiaotian looked at the battlefield with a sinister gaze. He knew that Yao Ming would never let him go. Only by killing Yao Ming could he survive.

And now, the Grand Elder was also no match for Yao Ming, frequently getting injured. Once the Grand Elder was defeated, he would no longer have a chance to turn things around.

“Courting death!”

Upon hearing this, Yao Ming’s eyes in the battle turned cold. He then abandoned the Grand Elder and went straight for Yao Xiaotian. This time, his palm was like the sharpest blade, unhesitatingly plunging into Yao Xiaotian’s head.

Blood and brain matter splattered out in that instant.

“Bang!”

With his palm plunged into Yao Xiaotian’s head, Yao Ming was expressionless, then slowly withdrew his palm. In his palm, there was a black spherical pearl the size of a fist.

The pearl was extremely smooth, and faintly, black mist flowed within it, converging into a screaming face—it was none other than Yao Xiaotian.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder, who had already been severely wounded by Yao Ming, directly fled.

“Seal the Nether Snake Vein! We must find that traitor!”

Yao Ming did not rush to pursue, but quickly took over the Clan Chief’s authority and stabilized the situation… “This time, I truly thank young friend Gu Fei. Without you, I would still be suffering at the bottom of the Yellow Springs…”

After handling some matters, Yao Ming came to Gu Fei to express his gratitude.

“Heh heh, this also has to do with your own efforts. If your Cultivation hadn’t made a Breakthrough, how could you have regained the position of Clan Chief today?”

Gu Fei chuckled lightly, speaking with approval.

Yao Ming’s Heart-Nature and talent were both satisfactory. If he were cultivated, he would certainly be able to play a role in the future.

“By the way, I came to the Nine Serene Yellow Springs this time to find the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal. You’ve been there for many years, so you should have some of that stuff, right!”

Gu Fei directly stated his purpose.

“Yellow Springs Blood Crystal, this thing takes nearly a thousand years to condense into one piece. Over these past few hundred years, I’ve devoured quite a bit!”

Upon hearing this, Yao Ming hardly hesitated. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a bloody light shot out, finally hovering in front of Gu Fei.

That thing was precisely a fist-sized blood-colored crystal.

Within the crystal, it seemed as if endless blood was flowing, looking exceptionally eerie.

“So this is the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal!”

Looking at this blood crystal, which exuded a hint of eeriness, Gu Fei also murmured in a low voice.

Reaching out to take the blood-colored crystal floating before him, as soon as the crystal touched his hand, a terrifyingly cold force permeated from his palm.

This item contained powerful yin-cold energy, capable of restraining flames, which would be of great help to Gu Fei when he later devoured stronger exotic flames.

“There’s one more thing. I heard that among your Nine Serene Earth Python Clan, there is a stone tablet left by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint back then. Could you take me to see it…”

After accepting the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal, Gu Fei continued to state his second purpose for coming here.

“Yellow Spring Stone Tablet?”

Hearing this, Yao Ming frowned.

This item was their Nine Serene Earth Python Clan’s greatest secret, and the things within it were extremely important to their clan.

“My clan does indeed possess this item!”

“Young friend Gu Fei, please follow me!”

Yao Ming hesitated for a moment. After glancing at Zi Yan, who was standing beside Gu Fei, he nodded in agreement.

Because he understood that since Gu Fei had the ability to bring him back to light from the bottom of the Yellow Springs, he also had the ability to plunge him back into the abyss!
