326: Chapter 326 Gu Qinglian's "Jade Feet Temptation", Dongsheng Island Attacks!

"What's wrong with being an Empress? Is an Empress not allowed to cry? Who made that rule?!"

"You took away my Physical Destiny Runes, you took away my clan's hope of rising, can this Empress not even cry for a bit?!"

Empress Yan Xin accused him while weeping loudly.

"Hmph! This is all your own doing, don't play the crocodile tears act in front of us!"

"Even though my Blockhead Master is a bit slow, he won't be fooled by your tears!"

"Blockhead Master, kill her!"

Gu Qinglian crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

*Thump!*

Lin Ran knocked her on the head and said irritably, "Kill your head!"

"You... you really believe her crocodile tears? You really are a blockhead!"

"Fine! You won't kill her? Then I will!"

Gu Qinglian looked at Lin Ran in disbelief, then huffily raised the immortal suppressing demon sword, intending to slay Empress Yan Xin.

"Enough, stay there and behave yourself."

Lin Ran helplessly pressed his hand to his forehead and recalled the immortal suppressing demon sword to his hand; Gu Qinglian, who was gripping the hilt, flew toward Lin Ran uncontrollably.

"Hmph! It's only because the three of us haven't been victimized by this person yet, otherwise there will be a time when you regret it!"

Gu Qinglian sat on Lin Ran's shoulder, turned her head away, and spoke coldly.

"Enough, this person cannot be killed. She carries a great Karma; there will be a price to pay for killing her."

Lin Ran rubbed Gu Qinglian's head and spoke in a softened tone.

"Great Karma? How come I can't see any Karma on her? Could it be that you, Blockhead Master, are just making things up?"

Gu Qinglian gently swung her pale little feet, speaking nonchalantly.

"Then again, although you, Blockhead Master, are a bit slow, you are incredibly lecherous. You've probably taken a liking to her."

"However, before her snake tail transforms into legs, you probably won't think that way."

"Wait!"

Gu Qinglian seemed to think of something and suddenly turned to look at Lin Ran, her eyes widening larger than copper bells.

"Blockhead Master, you couldn't have taken a liking to those legs of hers, could you?!"

"How about this, you kill her, and I'll let you play with my legs? You can touch them, squeeze them, or eat them however you want, and I won't resist at all. How about it?"

Lin Ran's face was covered in black lines. He glanced at Gu Qinglian's pair of short little legs and really couldn't muster any interest.

"Eat your legs? I'd rather gnaw on pig trotters."

Lin Ran said indifferently.

"What?! You're saying this sword spirit's legs are inferior to pig trotters?!"

"I'll bite you to death!!!"

Gu Qinglian was so angry her chest felt like it would explode, and she began biting randomly at Lin Ran.

As for Empress Yan Xin, she had already stopped crying and was looking blankly at Lin Ran and Gu Qinglian bickering and fooling around in front of her.

"People of the Spirit Snake Clan, listen up! Today, you shall escape no longer!"

"Either submit and share wealth and glory with us, or resist and face Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

"Between these two paths, Empress Yan Xin, you should be the one to make the choice for your clansmen!"

From above the firmament, a voice like rolling thunder surged forth.

Countless figures rushed out from the thick clouds in a dense mass, stepping into the Void Realm one after another, looking down at the Island of Creation with indifferent, cold gazes.

The leader was a man in yellow robes with a cultivation at the fourth level of the Divine Bridge Realm, possessing an aura of natural authority.

"It's the Island Master of Dongsheng Island! Lady Empress, what should we do next?!"

Seeing that the Dongsheng Island Master had personally led his people here, Zi Ming immediately flew to Empress Yan Xin and spoke anxiously.

Dongsheng Island's coveting of their Spirit Snake Clan was not a matter of just once or twice.

Because of Dongsheng Island's pressure, their Spirit Snake Clan had migrated and fled all the way, passing through several islands.

They had only recently moved the entire clan to the Island of Creation, yet Dongsheng Island had tracked them down again.

Moreover, the leader this time was actually the Island Master of Dongsheng Island—Island Master Chen Guang, a top-tier powerhouse with a cultivation at the fourth level of the Divine Bridge Realm!

"Dongsheng Island? What's going on?"

Lin Ran turned to Empress Yan Xin and asked.

Empress Yan Xin remained silent, her lips pursed, and finally let out a sigh, saying:

"Dongsheng Island covets my Spirit Snake Clan, and has therefore sent troops to hunt us down more than once, wanting us to submit."

Lin Ran's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Oh? Could it be they also want to seize the Physical Destiny Runes?"

Empress Yan Xin shook her head: "No. Dongsheng Island does not know about the Physical Destiny Runes; what they covet is the Spirit Snake Clan itself."

"From the moment we are born, a kind of treasure is nurtured within our Dantian, called the Five-Colored Stone."

"So far, our Spirit Snake Clan does not know what mystery the Five-Colored Stone holds, but we do know it contains pure Origin of creation, making it a top-tier Cultivation resource."

"Later, this news was somehow leaked, drawing the covetousness of Dongsheng Island."

"Dongsheng Island has sent troops to attack time and again. On the surface, they want to subjugate the Spirit Snake Clan, but in reality, their intentions are sinister—they want to farm us, making our clan their slaves so they can harvest the Five-Colored Stones at will."

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

He understood the logic of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, and Dongsheng Island understood it too.

That was why Dongsheng Island wanted to raise the Spirit Snake Clan like livestock; as long as the Spirit Snake Clan could reproduce infinitely, then the Five-Colored Stones would be an inexhaustible resource.

This was Dongsheng Island's ultimate goal!

"Yan Xin! This Island Master has said his piece, I will give you only one last quarter of an hour!"

"In this quarter of an hour, if you still do not give me an answer, when I lead my men onto the Island of Creation, it will be the moment of the Spirit Snake Clan's annihilation!"

Island Master Chen Guang spoke coldly.

While he indeed wanted to pen up the Spirit Snake Clan to infinitely harvest the Five-Colored Stones within them, the Spirit Snake Clan consistently refused to submit, and he no longer had that much patience.

He didn't want to drag this out any longer; even if it meant killing the goose for the eggs or draining the pond to catch the fish, he simply didn't care anymore!

"Damn it!"

Empress Yan Xin looked at Island Master Chen Guang standing in the sky with a face full of hatred, the killing intent in her chest almost erupting.

"Yan Xin, I'll help you kill him. No, I'll help you kill him and everyone he brought!"

"However, This Holy Son has only one request: you must lead the Spirit Snake Clan to submit to me. How about it?"

"Of course, This Holy Son can also make a Heavenly Dao oath. My demand for your submission is absolutely not because of the Five-Colored Stones within your clan members!"

Lin Ran stood with his hands behind his back, a smile of certain victory on his lips.

To his surprise, Empress Yan Xin, who had previously been ready to die rather than submit, now agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Fine! This Empress agrees! But I do not want you to kill Island Master Chen Guang, because... This Empress wants to personally deal with this man to vent the hatred in my heart!"
