263: Migration of the Zhang clan

"No..."

That sorrowful cry, seemingly carrying endless despair and unwillingness, echoed in the air, lingering for a long time.

Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy violently rioted, like enraged beasts, fiercely breaking free from their restraints and rampaging everywhere in a wild manner.

Immediately after, the crystal throne greedily devoured every trace of spiritual energy like a bottomless black hole, as if it wanted to claim all the spiritual energy in the world for itself.

As this spiritual energy poured in, extremely fine cracks actually appeared on the crystal throne.

The cracks were as fine as spider silk, yet contained the power to overturn everything. They were like an evil mouth, slowly opening, wanting to swallow everything before it.

It wasn't until the last wisp of spiritual energy was completely absorbed that the crystal throne suddenly exploded.

At that instant, it felt as if heaven and earth trembled. The crystal throne let out an earth-shattering sound, and fragments scattered like a meteor shower, turning into fine powder in the air and drifting in mid-air.

The fine powder slowly drifted down, as if mourning the once glorious crystal throne, and also as if narrating the end of a legend.

"I am the Serpent People Queen, and I am Ding Lingxuan!"

As that thunderous, oppressive voice resounded loudly in the silent space, a blurry figure, like a ghost, slowly walked out from the pervasive thick smoke.

This was indeed Ding Lingxuan. However, after that long period of slumber, as if having experienced over a dozen cycles of spring and autumn, her appearance had undergone subtle yet significant changes.

At this moment, she appeared even more mature and composed. Her original features had also changed slightly and imperceptibly under the accumulation of time, but she still retained that unique temperament.

Her iconic hair was still cleverly composed of countless agile small snakes, each one seeming to be endowed with life, wriggling slightly in the darkness.

Their cold scales flickered erratically, like phantoms in the darkness, silently flicking out their deadly tongues.

Her own face was like a exquisite sculpture, every line so meticulously outlined, as if carved by artists.

Her eyes, deep as a bottomless abyss, clearly showed a faint golden color, yet inadvertently flickered with a chilling light, as if hiding endless secrets and mystery.

Her skin was as fair as snow and as white as mutton-fat jade, forming a stark contrast with the snake hair, adding a touch of eerie beauty.

Her shapely figure, as if meticulously carved by the heavens, had curves that could rival the legendary devilish figure.

Her slender waist seemed as though it would break with a single twist, yet it contained infinite power.

And the single piece of wine-red light armor she wore revealed her beauty without reservation. Beneath the thin material, her fair, snow-white shoulders were completely exposed, shimmering with a captivating light in the sunlight.

Her flat and fair belly was faintly visible, every subtle movement causing ripples deep within people's hearts.

She gently twisted her snake body, every action seemingly carrying a Soul-stirring magic, displaying an indescribable charm in every gesture.

Just like a poppy in the darkness, she drew people in deeply, making it impossible to avert their gaze from her.

However, even as she exuded such a seductive Aura, she inadvertently revealed an inherent coldness and pressure.

That majesty was like an insurmountable mountain, instilling fear in people's hearts, making them dare not show the slightest hint of disrespect.

"Welcome our Queen's revival, our Serpent People will usher in a great renaissance!"

The Old Woman looked at Ding Lingxuan before her, her face, originally covered in wrinkles, was now flushed red with excitement, and her eyes sparkled with a fervent light, as if seeing infinite hope.

As she was the first to kneel, the other Serpent People seemed to have their sleeping Souls awakened, coming back to their senses, each with a face full of piety, quickly following suit and kneeling down.

Those cries of "Welcome our Queen's revival!" echoed throughout the space, as if narrating an ancient and solemn legend, the momentum of which was enough to move heaven and earth.

Ding Lingxuan's apricot eyes swept over the crowd below and the Old Woman, her beautiful eyes instantly narrowed, and her willow brows slightly furrowed, making people feel an irresistible urge to pity her.

Now, her once proud face was filled with disbelief and indignation, her eyes flickering with complex light.

She stared intently at the Old Woman, the invisible pressure emanating from her becoming increasingly intense.

It seemed as if it was about to crush the entire space, causing people to feel fear uncontrollably, yet not daring to show the slightest sign of defiance.

"What exactly happened? Has our clan fallen to such a state of decline?

Before her, besides this Old Woman who was about to completely dissipate, the strongest individuals were actually just two Martial General Peak fellows.

Such existences, if placed in the past, she wouldn't even look at them.

Seeing her like this, the Old Woman couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart, not daring to conceal anything, and slowly recounted the series of thrilling events that had occurred over the past hundred years.

Every detail, every past event, was like a sharp blade, deeply piercing her heart.

After a long time, she finally slowly raised her head, a chilling killing intent flickering in her deep eyes.

She raised her head and looked towards the sky, the endless firmament seeming to become dim and colorless at this moment.

The pressure belonging solely to the Martial Lord Realm suddenly erupted from her body, like a towering mountain collapsing, breaking through the constraints of this space and soaring straight up into the clouds.

The intensity of that pressure seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth, causing everything around to tremble.

"Do you think you can succeed with just such a conspiracy?"

Her voice was cold and firm, as if carrying endless majesty, "Back then, you ambushed and killed us, thinking you could use our bodies to nourish that planet and make it truly revive.

But you were wrong. Even though most people have passed away, many, like me, have stubbornly survived.

No matter how long you've planned, no matter what you've plotted, in the near future, you and this planet will surely be annihilated!"

The Old Woman and the Serpent People powerhouses below all trembled upon hearing this, but not out of fear, but excitement.

"Long live the Queen, long live the Queen!"

Ding Lingxuan paid no attention, waving her hand at the crowd, "Immediately leave Great Xia, this Queen is going to reclaim this Queen's true power!"

"As you command!"

Soon after, the entire Serpent People clan migrated away, only the Old Woman did not leave, because she simply could not leave.

As the clan moved away, the Old Woman knelt deeply in the direction of Ding Lingxuan, "Our Queen will surely reach the Peak, and our clan will surely stand proudly in the world, making all races worship!"

Saying this, the Old Woman's body began to dissipate, finally vanishing into the sky full of yellow sand!
