People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 140 Rainbow Scales
Sensing the killing intent emanating from Chen Xiao, Queen Medusa's cold and beautiful pupils contracted slightly, and Elder Su Qian's gaze also turned sharply towards them like that of a hawk.

Both of them rushed over after receiving a message from Zi Yan. However, the girl had come and gone like the wind during the day, without even giving a clear explanation. To this day, they still do not know what specific actions Chen Xiao is planning.

"Next, we will split up."

"Ziyan, Xian'er, go and meet up with Elder Hai. With your combined strength and Elder Hai's, you have an absolute chance of victory against either Fan Lao or the master of the Black Skull Tomb!"

Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly. They had been with Chen Xiao the whole time and were very familiar with tonight's operation.

Especially Zi Yan, who was the one who notified Hai Bodong, and they had already arranged a meeting place.

"Be careful, after all, he is a Dou Zong powerhouse."

Little Fairy Doctor gave a soft reminder, then said nothing more and flew with Zi Yan toward a city near the Black Emperor City.

After watching the two women leave, Chen Xiao withdrew his gaze, exchanged a glance with Queen Medusa and Su Qian, and immediately chased after the direction in which the old man from Eagle Mountain had fled.

As Elder Yingshan said, from the moment he set his sights on seizing the Bodhi Incarnation Saliva and took action to do so, the situation between them was already one of irreconcilable conflict.

The old man of Eagle Mountain guessed two reasons why they did not fight to the death here.

Firstly, he was a four-star Dou Zong, and when he was truly driven to the brink of despair, he posed a great threat to Chen Xiao and his group.

Secondly, this place is too close to the Black Emperor Sect. If both sides are severely injured, it will give Mo Tianxing a chance to make a comeback.

Based on these two concerns, the old man of Eagle Mountain guessed Chen Xiao's plan.

The grudges between us will certainly be settled, but definitely not here!
From Chen Xiao's perspective, Elder Yingshan's assumptions were all correct, except for one point.

Chen Xiao didn't want to reveal his last trump card here!
From beginning to end, Chen Xiao was very clear about his purpose.

I came to the Black Emperor Sect for the Bodhi Incarnation Saliva.

Now that they have the goods, the Black Emperor Sect doesn't need to spend too much effort on them.

Whether Mo Tianxing lives or dies is not important for now.

After all, Mo Tianxing has a sect and bloodline descendants, too many ties that pose little threat to him.

In addition, this person is cunning and cautious, and the possibility of him making another move without absolute certainty is extremely low.

Besides the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, Chen Xiao had another matter to deal with in this Black Corner Region: completing the follow-up to the advance payment.

Alternatively, we could say, "Let's put an end to that old demon!"

Therefore, the two most important matters are the Earth Demon Old Ghost and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

Everything else can be compromised.

Prioritizing is crucial!
“Young Chen, that old man from Eagle Mountain has been gone for quite a while. If he’s determined to hide, we might not be able to find him.”

Blocking out the sound of the wind, Su Qian turned her head to look at Chen Xiao beside her.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao shook his head and chuckled.

"No, we will definitely find it!"

Seeing how confident he spoke, Su Qian couldn't help but become suspicious, wondering where his confidence came from.

Chen Xiao chuckled lightly, "The Grand Elder should already know that Zi Yan took the Transformation Pill, right?"

Su Qian nodded.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "That Transformation Pill was an agreement between me and the Cao family of Zhongzhou. A month and a half ago, they sent a Dou Wang expert to deliver it."

Su Qian continued to nod. He hadn't heard Zi Yan mention these details before, but what did they have to do with the current situation?

Just as she was wondering, Su Qian was suddenly taken aback when she met Chen Xiao's ambiguous smile.

"A Battle King escorting a Transformation Pill?"

You should know that the Transformation Pill is a seventh-grade elixir!
The journey between Zhongzhou and the Northwest Continent is long and arduous. Even using a space wormhole, it would take about a month, not counting the journey after leaving the space wormhole.

Such a long journey, such a long time, and they only sent a Dou Wang to escort the seventh-grade elixir…

That's a bit too ambitious!

If even a tiny bit of information leaks out, countless powerful individuals and magical beasts will definitely have designs on it.

Even without leaking information, in a place like Black Corner, where double-crossing is commonplace, the probability of being targeted is still very high.

"The Fourth Elder has arrived too, hasn't he?" Just as Chen Xiao was about to answer Su Qian's question, Queen Medusa, who was sitting on the right, suddenly spoke up.

If a Dou Wang were to escort a Transformation Pill, anyone with a little thought would notice something amiss; at the very least, it should be at the Dou Huang level.

To ensure absolute safety, it was perfectly reasonable for Cao Xi, a Dou Zong-level expert, to personally escort them.

Queen Medusa had contact with both Cao Ying and Cao Xi, and she could also sense that Elder Cao Xi, apart from the conditions proposed in the exchange, held a kind of inexplicable and indescribable importance on Chen Xiao.

She couldn't know the reason, but she was certain it wasn't a misperception.

Having been exposed by Queen Medusa, Chen Xiao glanced at her helplessly.

Bored on the journey, he wanted to guide Su Qian step by step to guess the answer.

Now it's all over, there's nothing to play anymore.

Nodding slightly to confirm Queen Medusa's guess, Chen Xiao stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "This Fourth Elder is very responsible. He could have returned the way he came after delivering the Transformation Pill to Zixiao City, but Ziyan and I were in seclusion at the time, so he stayed. He only appeared to say goodbye to me after Ziyan had actually taken it."

"However, after hearing my plan to deal with the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley, he stayed to help and has been on site all night. Old Man Eagle Mountain would never have imagined that we have a Dou Zong expert who is no weaker than him, secretly following him."

After listening to Chen Xiao's explanation, Su Qian, who was standing to the side, finally understood.

No wonder he was so confident even though he knew he would be ambushed tonight; it turns out there were more than two Dou Zongs in the shadows!
"I've also heard Zi Yan mention Elder Cao. With the addition of this four-star Dou Zong, Elder Yingshan is no longer a threat!"

Even if Queen Medusa and Su Qian could kill Old Man Eagle Mountain, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

With the Heavenly Demon Puppet added, things will be much easier, but we still can't afford to be careless.

Now that another four-star Dou Zong has arrived, there will be absolutely no pressure.

Thinking of this, Su Qian's face showed a relaxed and comfortable smile.

“If the battlefield hadn’t been so close to the Black Emperor Sect and there hadn’t been so many people around, I could have killed Mo Tianxing too! But Mo Tianxing isn’t my real target. It’s not worth exposing the Fourth Elder for him, so I’ll let him go for now.”

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, his nose twitching as he smelled the poison he had concocted. He immediately adjusted the tracking direction slightly with the two of them.

The journey was the most tedious, but fortunately, I had two people traveling with me, so we could chat along the way.

Of course, most of the time, Chen Xiao and Su Qian chatted idly, while Queen Medusa remained as quiet as a flower on a high mountain.

However, noticing Chen Xiao's subtle gaze sweeping over her repeatedly, Queen Medusa's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she uttered a brief question: "What is it?"

Chen Xiao met her scrutinizing gaze and asked tentatively with a smile, "It just suddenly occurred to me that although the title of Queen Medusa is majestic, using it on every generation of Tagor Snake-People Queen makes it lack uniqueness."

Seeing the puzzled look on Queen Medusa's face, Chen Xiao then offered a suggestion: "How about I give you a name?"

"This title has been passed down through generations; how can it be changed at will?" Queen Medusa refused without even thinking.

Despite saying that, her voice inexplicably carried a hint of hesitation at the end, and a strange fluctuation flashed deep in her eyes that she herself did not notice.

Those long years bound by the identity of 'Medusa Queen' seemed to have been torn open by Chen Xiao's suggestion, letting in a few strands of unfamiliar and subtle light.

Catching the fleeting hesitation in her eyes, Chen Xiao's lips curled into a confident smile, and his clear voice rang out.

"How about I call you Rainbow Scales? Just like the dazzling glow reflected by the scales of the Little Devouring Python at sunrise in the desert, it's unique."

The aura surrounding Queen Medusa suddenly froze, and the resistance surging in her eyes was replaced by a kind of astonishment.

"Colorful scales."

She unconsciously repeated the name, a hint of obscure emotion appearing in her eyes.

"It's just a name, whatever you want."

Queen Medusa casually agreed, and the next second she transformed into a streak of light and sped away.

The gentle night quietly concealed the blush on the tips of her ears.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao flapped his wings, lightning crackled beneath his feet, and he gave chase like an arrow.
"Then I'll call you that from now on!"

Elder Su Qian, who remained where he was, watched the figures disappear into the distance, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself.

"Why did I come here? A perfectly good road has become a superfluous spectator."

Having said that, he could only shake his head helplessly and slowly follow after them.
