People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 250 Nether Serpent Earth Veins
Elder Qingshan arrived much faster than Chen Xiao had anticipated.

Chen Xiao had just handed over all the puppets that needed to be upgraded to Hei Qing and told Xiao Yi Xian and the others about his plan to go on a long trip when Elder Qingshan arrived.

All told, from the time the news spread to the arrival of the Grand Elder, it took no more than half a day.

"Hahaha, I took my second and third sons to pay respects to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. We just happened to be returning from the Northwest."

Seeing the surprise in Chen Xiao's eyes, the Grand Elder laughed and explained.

That's it!

Chen Xiao suddenly realized that the Grand Elder had mentioned before that several elders from Donglong Island planned to pay a visit to the Old Dragon Emperor and had even gone to the Strange Space to consult the Old Dragon Emperor's opinion.

From this perspective, it's clear that the old Dragon Emperor agreed to this.

"Cai Lin, how about we postpone our departure for two days?"

After figuring out why the Grand Elder had arrived so quickly, Chen Xiao turned to look at Cai Lin.

The decision was made just yesterday, and we have to leave today. It's too rushed, and we haven't given Cailin much time to prepare.

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's suggestion, Cai Lin shook her head.

"Now that the Grand Elder has arrived, let's set off immediately. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return."

Chen Xiao opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything in objection; he simply nodded.

He turned his gaze to the other side and saw Yao Yao playing happily with the little Devouring Python, so he waved to her: "Yao Yao, come here."

Although the little one didn't know what to do, he still ran over, leaping across the air, tilting his head back, looking at him with his big eyes, and softly calling out, "Daddy..."

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, picked her up, and walked to Cai Lin's side.

Cai Lin took her daughter from Chen Xiao's arms, her eyes filled with a tender, doting smile, and a hint of reluctance that she couldn't hide.

"Yaoyao, Mother has to go out and take care of some things. She won't be back for a while. Until Mother returns, you must listen to Father, okay?"

"Mommy, where are you going? Can't you take Yao Yao with you?"

The little guy had never been separated from Cai Lin since birth, and upon hearing this, he immediately became anxious and stretched out his little hands to hug Cai Lin's neck tightly.

Cai Lin gently stroked the back of her head to comfort her, smiling as she said, "Yao Yao, be good. Just wait for Mommy at home. Mommy will be back soon..."

As the mother and daughter were reluctant to part, Chen Xiao also walked over to the three girls, including Little Fairy Doctor.

“Xian’er, Cai Lin and I might not be able to return to the Beast Domain before Brother Hei Qing. If he does, have someone send a puppet to the Tagor Desert in the Northwest to guard the space wormhole there. Also, go to Canaan Academy and bring Qing Huan and Xing Yao over so they can keep Yao Yao company.”

Because of Zi Yan's intervention, when Chen Xiao saw those two little ones last time, he tacitly agreed to be their teacher and did not wait for them to condense their battle qi vortex.

Since the master-disciple relationship has already been established, there is nothing wrong with bringing them over in advance.

Little Fairy Doctor didn't speak, but simply smiled gently and nodded, agreeing to the matter.

Qinglin, standing nearby, spoke up: "Young Master, let me go to the Beast Domain with you. If we run into trouble, I can lend a hand."

Chen Xiao shook his head: "With the Grand Elder here, there won't be so much trouble. Don't come along this time. You've reached the crucial moment of becoming a Saint through the Nine Revolutions. Focus on cultivation."

To put it another way, if they really encountered a problem that even he and the Grand Elder couldn't solve, Qinglin's presence would be of no use.

Hearing this, Qinglin could only respond sullenly and nod.

Cao Ying took a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Chen Xiao, saying, "This is a protective jade pendant left by Xun'er. I don't need it in the pavilion, but you can take it with you when you go out."

This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one Xun'er gave to Yao Yao.

Although Xun'er never mentioned what level of power was hidden in the jade pendant, anything that Xun'er used as a protective item must be anything more than ordinary on the surface.

"You're pregnant, so it's best if you keep it for yourself. As the father, I can't take things from my own child. Don't worry, there's no risk on this trip."

Looking at their serious expressions, Chen Xiao felt somewhat helpless.

He wasn't making any promises; he was genuinely confident in sending Cai Lin to receive the inheritance.

Moreover, he had an extra chance to use the jade pendant as a backup, so there was really no need for him to borrow it.

Seeing how certain he was, Cao Ying stopped insisting.

On the other side, Cai Lin spent a lot of effort to appease Yao Yao and finally got her to agree to wait obediently at home. Then she took Yao Yao's hand and walked over.

"Please take good care of Yao Yao during this time."

"Don't worry, Sister Cailin, we can take care of Yaoyao."

Cao Ying smiled and took Yao Yao, her affection genuine.

From when Yao Yao was just a few months old until now, they have watched the little one grow up slowly, and this is a real bond.

Cai Lin nodded gently, gave them a grateful look, and then turned her gaze to Chen Xiao.

Let's go.

Chen Xiao nodded, and without further delay, he reached out and rubbed Yao Yao's little head, then led Cai Lin toward the Grand Elder who was waiting not far away.

...

The azure sky was cloudless, like a giant blue mirror, so clear that it was without a single impurity.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a clear crane's cry rang out from the silent sky. Immediately afterward, the calm space seemed to be torn open from the inside, and a stream of seven-colored light shot out from it, bringing with it a gust of wind that howled across the sky.

Only when you get closer can you see that the seven-colored light is actually a very beautiful seven-colored crane!

On the broad back of the seven-colored crane, three figures stood upright: Chen Xiao, Cai Lin, and Elder Qingshan, who had set off from Zixiao Pavilion.

Hearing the occasional roars of magical beasts coming from the mountains below, Cai Lin's eyes flickered slightly.

"Compared to the chaos in the Central Plains, this Beast Realm has a unique tranquility."

While in the northern lands, the three knew that the Central Plains were in chaos, but they didn't feel it deeply.

But on their way to the Beast Domain, they truly realized how chaotic the Central Continent had become under the struggle between the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower. Slaughter was almost everywhere, and the entire Central Continent seemed to have become a super-large Black Corner Domain, with horrific scenes being commonplace.

Especially at night, the black smoke is thick, the sky is devoid of stars, and the red flames rise up, illuminating the earth for thousands of miles!
Looking at this beast realm, although it is also full of danger, and you can see magical beasts fighting everywhere, it is a kind of tranquility due to natural selection.

They were like this in the past, they are like this now, and they will be like this in the future!
“We have witnessed dozens of battles between the forces of the Soul Hall and the Pill Tower along the way. But strangely, in every battle, the Pill Tower has the absolute advantage, but it has never been able to completely crush the opponent. This situation is as if the Soul Hall is doing it on purpose, constantly creating the illusion for the Pill Tower that ‘if we just put in a little more effort, we can completely destroy the opponent.’”

When this matter was mentioned, Chen Xiao also had some concerns.

Although he used the word "seems," he was basically certain that this was a deliberate arrangement by the Soul Palace.

Having personally traversed the Central Plains and witnessed countless battles, Chen Xiao roughly understood the Soul Palace's plans.

They didn't care about reputation or how many enemies they made; all they cared about was how to capture more souls and extract enough of their soul essence.

This is the sole purpose of the Soul Palace's existence!

On the surface, the six ancient races seem to be making good progress in supporting the Dan Tower's campaign to eliminate the Soul Palace.

In reality, this is probably exactly the outcome the Soul Palace would like to see.

The more intense the struggle, the more forces are involved, and the more people die!

Furthermore, more and more powerful beings will perish, and these are all high-quality soul entities! Therefore, the actions of the six ancient races in purging the Soul Palace may not only fail to stop the Soul Race's conspiracy, but may even accelerate it!
Thinking about it this way, this matter is indeed quite tricky, as if we've hit a dead end.

If the Soul Palace is allowed to wreak havoc in the Central Plains, the Soul Clan will simply proceed according to the original plan.

However, if they were to take action to eliminate the Soul Palace, it would inevitably trigger an even greater conflict, which would ultimately be beneficial to the Soul Clan.

Well, this is truly a dilemma...

All I can say is that the Soul Palace's methods are too bizarre!
"Let those ancient races worry about these things. They have little to do with us. To be selfish, I actually hope that the eight ancient races can fight to the death and end up with all eight of them severely injured." Elder Qingshan chuckled, making no attempt to hide his thoughts.

Chen Xiao sighed softly and stopped thinking about it.

He could see through all the intricacies behind this struggle; how could those old foxes from the six ancient clans not see it?

Absolutely impossible!

So, just as the Grand Elder said, let the six clans worry about it themselves.

At least for now, he is not capable of intervening in the power struggle between these seven races.

"Let's go, let's go straight to the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan."

Since it wasn't their first time in the Beast Realm, Chen Xiao and the Grand Elder were quite familiar with the place. After figuring out the direction, they sent the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane towards the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's main camp.

The true headquarters of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan is hidden deep underground, although there are also many of their branch clans on the surface.

Among the three races, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan has the largest number, but this is not necessarily a good thing. With a large number of people, it is also difficult to make the bloodline pure.

According to some elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, if this situation continues, their ancient bloodline will likely be completely depleted in about a hundred years. At that time, the entire clan will be reduced to a state similar to that of ordinary magical beasts.

As a result, there have been many disputes and disagreements within the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

But no matter what, without the replenishment of ancient bloodlines, coupled with their rate of reproduction, that day will come sooner or later.

...

The Nine Nether Abyss is the main passage into the underground world, controlled by the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, and is heavily guarded.

However, this strictness only applies to ordinary strong individuals.

With Qingshan, the Great Elder of the Ancient Dragon Clan, present, such defenses were practically nonexistent.

The figures of the three people and the crane appeared on a mountain peak not far from the abyss. Chen Xiao glanced at the seven-colored crane, which dared not take another step forward, and shook his head slightly.

"You wait here. When I return, I will set you free. If you dare to have any other thoughts, you will bear the consequences."

Chen Xiao quietly left a mark inside the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane, a mark that allowed him to control its life and death at any time. After giving the instructions, he paid no further attention to it.

I brought this colorful crane along this time, purely on the way.

As its name suggests, the Seven-Colored Crane is very beautiful and a good choice for a mount.

Chen Xiao put in a little effort because he saw that Hai Bodong and the others were interested in it, and Yao Yao also liked it.

"Yes!"

The seven-colored crane dared not inquire about the three people's intentions, nor did it want to know. It obediently nodded and sent out a female voice.

If it weren't for the fact that its clan was controlled by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and its life and death were not in its own hands, it would have long since surrendered to the Purple Cloud Pavilion.

During this time, it witnessed the power of the Purple Cloud Pavilion.

Both being called one of the Four Pavilions, the original Fenglei Pavilion is practically a joke compared to the current Zixiao Pavilion.

"Elder," Chen Xiao said.

Qingshan nodded, raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible spatial force spread out like a tide, immediately creating a temporary spatial passage in front of him.

Not to mention the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, even Chen Xiao and Cai Lin, who were standing next to the Grand Elder and watching his actions, could not sense the slightest spatial anomaly!
It was as if this passage had always existed.

"Let's go."

The elder chuckled and went inside first.

Chen Xiao took Cai Lin's hand, they exchanged a glance, and he followed closely behind.

This Nine Nether Abyss is actually a bottomless abyss.

It is filled with countless passages. Even a local power like the Nine Netherworld Python Clan probably couldn't figure out the destination of every single passage. The terrain is extremely complex.

After entering, the three of them used their soul perception and Elder Qingshan's spatial abilities to quietly explore deeper into the space.

Along the way, they also passed through snake-people tribes ruled by the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

This place, where the sun never shines and is cold and damp, is an exceptionally suitable habitat for the snake people.

“There are many similar places in the Beast Realm. We can choose one later to make it the territory of the Snake People.”

Chen Xiao noticed the look in Cai Lin's eyes and transmitted his voice.

Cai Lin nodded silently.

Now, it seems she has completed the mission of queens throughout history, and her focus has gradually shifted; she no longer lives solely for her people.

But she would naturally be happy to see the snake people live a better life.

They traveled in silence, cautiously probing their way forward.

After traveling for about two hours, they finally arrived at the main camp of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

Nether Serpent Earth Vein!

This shows just how vast this underground world is.

"The closer you get to the Nether Serpent Vein, the more frequently you see the aura of powerful beings. There are even quite a few at the half-saint level. The fact that the Nine Nether Earth Serpent Clan can maintain its position as the third strongest magical beast race does indeed mean they have some solid foundation."

The three appeared on a mountain peak outside the Nether Serpent Vein, gazing at the distant mountain range. Elder Qingshan then offered his comments.

This was his first time visiting the Nether Serpent Vein, and he gained a deeper understanding of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

In the past, only the Heavenly Phoenix Clan could occasionally threaten the status of the Ancient Dragon Clan in Warcraft. The Ancient Dragon Clan always treated other Warcraft races equally.

None of them are as good as me!

Now, having personally ventured deep into the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the Grand Elder discovered that this clan indeed possessed considerable resources. For instance, the number of its strongest members alone surpassed that of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "A great reputation is not without merit, and the same is true for clans. Although the large number of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan makes it difficult for them to maintain their bloodline, the frequency of producing strong individuals is also higher than that of other races. Of course, these are only those below the Dou Sheng level."

"Haha, you hit the nail on the head!"

After exchanging a few jokes, the Grand Elder turned his gaze back to the depths of the earth veins and said, "Let's continue deeper. There are also Dou Sheng experts in this Nine Nether Earth Python Clan. If you don't leave my side by more than ten feet, you will definitely not be detected."

“Okay.” Chen Xiao and Cai Lin nodded.

Whoops!

Seeing this, the Grand Elder waved his sleeve, and the surrounding space quickly distorted, then tightly wrapped the three people's bodies. With a slight ripple in the space, the three figures mysteriously disappeared from their original spot.
