Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Medusa led Zhang Yuan into the temple, where a light barrier blocked the entrance, and a large array appeared around the temple, shrouding it in a barrier that blocked all senses.

Only then did the snake people in the holy city recover from the shock of what had happened, but still no one dared to speak.

They may have questions, they may not support her, and they may even curse her in their hearts, but they will not question Medusa's decision, as this is the authority that a queen must possess.

"You bastard, you're a shameless scoundrel who's impossible to reason with." Yue Mei came to Mosba's side and flicked a pill into his mouth with her finger.

As the power of the elixir expanded, the cracks on Mosba's body were partially repaired, the eerie red aura within was expelled, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity.

Recalling the scene from before, he shuddered, his voice trembling as he said, "That guy was terrifying, if not for the Queen..."

Although he was seriously injured and would need to suffer for a while to recover, he felt no anger.

It wasn't because he admired or worshipped Medusa, but because the latter had genuinely intervened to save him.

When his fist was less than half a zhang away from Zhang Yuan's fist, his special danger perception ability as a snake-man sensed the terrifying power contained beneath Zhang Yuan's seemingly slender physique, which far surpassed his own.

In addition, the power contained in the silver lightning flames on Zhang Yuan's fist was extremely terrifying, a nemesis of his cold bloodline, and death would come upon contact.

His first thought was to stop and run away, but his consciousness was suddenly struck as if by a heavy hammer, and he fell into a daze.

If Medusa hadn't intervened and knocked him away, he would be a corpse by now.

They might even be completely destroyed.

“I told you long ago that although he is only a one-star Dou Wang, he was able to defeat the Queen in a head-on battle and still manage to win. The Queen was forced to reveal her true form even after she used her last trump card.”

"With your strength, they could wipe you out in the blink of an eye."

"From now on, you should not have any more delusions."

Out of consideration for their shared race, Yue Mei said one more thing.

But this time, Mospa was particularly grateful because Zhang Yuan made him feel despair and suffocation.

Meanwhile, inside the Holy City, Medusa led Zhang Yuan to the rear hall, through a winding corridor, and deeper down.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at a spacious and dimly lit hall. In the center of the hall was a pool, and around the pool were four futons, on which sat four old women.

With a single glance, Zhang Yuan sensed that the four individuals possessed the strength of two peak Dou Wangs and two three-star Dou Huangs.

"With this strength, it's no wonder that after Medusa broke through to the seventh-level Dou Zong, they were able to reach the peak Dou Huang level six or seven years later."

The fact that the Snake-People clan had a hidden Battle Emperor was entirely reasonable and not unexpected for Zhang Yuan.

As for the time when Guhe asked Yunyun and the others for help to break in and try to trade for the Strange Fire, it's likely that he discovered the four elders weren't in the Snake-Man Tribe's Holy City, or perhaps they had already been lured away.

With one peak Dou Huang and two Dou Huangs, plus the external pressure from the Chuyun Empire and the Mulan Empire, it was indeed impossible for them to seize a better territory in the Jiama Empire.

"You're so confident in coming in with me, aren't you afraid that my clan will seal off the space and deal with you the way you dealt with me?" Medusa suddenly turned to look at Zhang Yuan, a meaningful smile blooming on her cold and beautiful face, like a red rose in full bloom.

“I trust the Queen’s credibility,” Zhang Yuan said calmly.

Medusa's purple eyes flickered slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I had no idea I had such a reputation among you humans," Medusa chuckled, her allure capable of making anyone's bones melt.

Whether it's her nature or to prevent the Serpent People from being bullied, she has always been ruthless towards her enemies, which is why she has a notorious reputation among the surrounding empires, to the point that she can stop a child from crying.

When talking about Medusa, besides her stunningly beautiful appearance, all that remains is her ruthless and cruel methods.

Surprisingly, she has a very good reputation.

“You seem to be overthinking things.” Zhang Yuan looked into Medusa’s eyes and chuckled. “You don’t have much credibility among humans, but you have a lot of credibility with me.”

After all, her true nature is a tsundere who says one thing but does another, and a naive and innocent girl who can be easily manipulated.

Medusa: "."

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be angry or happy.

Just then, as if they had heard Medusa and Zhang Yuan's conversation, the four old women sitting in front of the pool opened their eyes at the same time. A chilling aura rose from their bodies and gathered above the pool, transforming into a giant black python.

The giant python stared at Zhang Yuan with eyes devoid of any emotion, and an invisible pressure quietly arose, making him feel as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.

“Human, just because the Queen isn’t attacking you doesn’t mean we won’t.” One of the old women spoke, her voice quite unpleasant, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, giving people an indescribable sense of unease.

"Heh." Zhang Yuan's smile remained unchanged as he calmly said, "What's this, a show of force?"

As he finished speaking, Ling Ying emerged from the shadows, her body surrounded by surging spatial energy.

Countless dark battle energies appeared around the pitch-black giant python, instantly covering it and beginning to devour it.

The four old women's expressions changed instantly, but before they could speak, they all spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

Medusa: "."

I can't lead them; I really can't lead these tribesmen.

Why do they all like being arrogant and self-righteous?

Medusa, however, forgot why her battle with Zhang Yuan had broken out in the first place.

"The strong man of Dou Zong!"

The four old women's pupils constricted, and they wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, their expressions softening as if their faces were suddenly changing.

"So you are Zhang Yuan, the master of Jiuyuan Prefecture?" One of the old women revealed a rather ugly, somewhat sinister smile.

“Exactly.” Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, smiling kindly. “I believe Medusa has already mentioned my recruitment to you. I trust you have no objections.”

The elderly woman at the head of the group did not answer, but instead said, "I am the Grand Elder of the Snake-People Clan, and this is the second..."

After a brief introduction, the Grand Elder coughed lightly and said, "I heard that someone by your side has awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil and wants to join my Serpent Clan as a Holy Maiden?"

Zhang Yuan nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I do have a maidservant by my side who has awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, but she does not intend to become your clan's Holy Maiden."

"Why?" Medusa asked, somewhat surprised.

If Qing Lin becomes the Holy Maiden of the Snake-People Clan, Zhang Yuan will be able to easily control the Snake-People Clan.

“I respect Qinglin’s opinion.” Zhang Yuan said calmly, “She said she only wants to be a maid sitting next to me, and does not want to have the identity of the Snake-People Clan’s Holy Maiden, nor does she want to have any relationship with your Snake-People Clan.”

"She said that when her mother was five years old, she committed suicide because she couldn't stand the cold words and sarcastic remarks of the people around her. The snake people were the cause of all this and her tragic life. She has no good feelings towards the snake people."

Zhang Yuan was also surprised by Qing Lin's decision, but he didn't need Qing Lin to acquire the so-called identity of a saintess to win them over.

Medusa and the four elders fell silent.

In fact, it's not just male snake people who use force against some beautiful humans; some attractive female snake people are also sold to humans for their own amusement. Due to racial antagonism, there's not much to say.

But as female snake people, they can empathize with Qinglin and her mother.

“Give her some cultivation techniques from my clan that are suitable for her to practice,” Medusa said thoughtfully.

The four elders had no objection to this.

They had originally thought that having a Jade Serpent Three-Flower Eye Saintess wouldn't be a problem if she worked for Zhang Yuan.

Who knew Qinglin was unwilling, and Zhang Yuan's strength was far beyond theirs, so forming a good relationship would be a good thing.

“You can talk to Qinglin about these things when you have time. She still likes you very much.”

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, then said, "Let's talk about serious matters."

"From now on, the Snake-People will obey Medusa's orders and be subordinate to my Nine Abyss Palace. You should have no objections, right?"

The four old women looked at each other, and the eldest elder spoke up: "Our clan can offer our loyalty, but what benefits can the Nine Abyss Palace give to the snake people?"

After asking the question, the elder paused and said, "Although Her Majesty the Queen and the four of us old folks can make the decisions about the Snake People, when it comes to the continuation of the clan, we still want to persuade the people as much as possible to accept it willingly, rather than just obeying orders."

Zhang Yuan nodded in approval of the Grand Elder and said, "There are too many benefits to list them all. You can look at the list and study it yourselves."

Zhang Yuan took out four Yellow-Rank Nine Abyss Tokens and threw them out.

These four old women, even at the very least, will be peak Dou Huangs in a few years, and will be qualified to receive cards.

The four had already been informed of the situation by Medusa, and immediately began to bind the Nine Abyss Token to their master through blood.

Information flooded their minds, including how to use the Nine Abyss Token and a redemption list.

Such as the opportunity to refine the seventh-grade elixir, the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, the zero-risk bloodline evolution opportunity in the Strange Fire Space, and the opportunity to help with human transformation, etc.

Upon seeing the list, the four elders instinctively held their breath.

Medusa said that Zhang Yuan offered very generous terms.

But they never expected it to be so generous.

Moreover, they knew that Zhang Yuan was not deceiving them, because Zhang Yuan was about to help Medusa evolve, proving that he indeed had various resources and methods.

Moreover, there's also the presence of Qinglin.

As for the scam, what's the point? Are snakes fun?

Upon realizing this, the four elders immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord of the Prefecture."

"Rest assured, Lord Lord, our Snake-Human Clan will be loyal and do our utmost to serve the Nine Abyss Prefecture and share your burdens."

Medusa: "."

You've never been this respectful to me.

Chapter 142 Rank 7 Intermediate Pill! A Unique Evolution of Strange Flames

If the four elders of the snake-people knew Medusa's thoughts, they would definitely reply, "He is offering too much; they cannot refuse."

Putting everything else aside, the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill alone is enough to drive them crazy.

According to the secret methods within the Serpent People race, newborns of the Medusa lineage are nourished by these secret methods after birth and are divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior, representing three levels of potential.

The inferior secret technique only requires some ordinary, energy-rich elixirs. Medusa infants nourished by this technique will be stuck at the Douhuang level for life without a great opportunity. They cannot even take the path of breaking through by stimulating different flames, and the mortality rate is as high as 99%.

This intermediate-level secret technique requires a sixth-grade pill called "Snake Marrow Bone-Shedding Pill" as the main ingredient. Newborn Medusa nurtured by this technique can have the potential to reach the Dou Zong level, such as the Medusa Queen standing in front of Zhang Yuan now.

If she hadn't wanted to advance her bloodline before making a breakthrough to have higher potential and combat power, she would have already broken through to the Dou Zong level.

The superior secret technique requires a seventh-grade pill that is extremely difficult to refine, the "Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill," which possesses the power to seize the heavens and can maximize the potential of newborns in the Medusa lineage. They can easily grow into Dou Zong in the future, with the potential to become Dou Zun. They will not lack opportunities and will surely succeed, making it terrifying.

Over the years, Medusa has never given birth to a newborn child nurtured by the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill.

But now, Zhang Yuan has put a price on it: anyone who serves the Snake-People can possess it.

Not to mention the benefits such as the stimulation of bloodline evolution by the strange fire.

"Lord of the Manor, do you have any Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pills readily available?" The smiles of the four snake-people elders turned obsequious, causing Medusa's lips to twitch slightly.
