Battle Through the Heavens: Bind Xun'er, reward Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame

Xiao Xuan stood up from the stone bench. The task on the system panel was clear: bound to Queen Medusa.

The ruler of the Snake-People race, a powerful figure at the Douhuang level.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he walked towards Xiao Xun'er's room.

I knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xiao Xuan pushed open the door and entered.

Xiao Xun'er was sitting cross-legged on the bed, having just emerged from her cultivation state. When she saw Xiao Xuan, a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan walked to the bedside.

"Xun'er, I need to go out for a bit."

Xiao Xun'er was stunned for a moment.

"Where to?"

"The Tagor Desert," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly.

"The territory of the snake-people?"

"Yes," Xiao Xuan said, "I have some things to take care of."

Xiao Xun'er looked at him but didn't ask any further questions.

If her brother Xiao Xuan didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask.

Xiao Xun'er murmured to herself.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, please be careful."

Xiao Xuan nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.

The Tagor Desert.

The border of the Gama Empire is a vast expanse of yellow sand.

Xiao Xuan spread his battle qi wings and soared into the sky, flying towards the depths of the desert.

A hot wind swept over me, and the yellow sand beneath my feet shimmered golden in the sunlight.

His gaze swept downwards, searching for the location of the Serpent People's Temple.

The system provided guidance, and the direction was very clear.

Keep flying forward.

After an unknown amount of time, an oasis appeared in the distance.

In the center of the oasis stood a magnificent temple.

We've arrived at the Snake-People tribe.

The Temple of the Serpent People.

Inside the main hall.

Queen Medusa sat on her throne, dressed in a long purple dress. She was stunningly beautiful and had a cold, aloof air. Her long, narrow eyes held a hint of eeriness.

The three elders stood below, reporting the latest news to her.

The Grand Elder looked up at Queen Medusa.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from the Gama Empire."

Queen Medusa looked at him.

"What news?"

"The Mittel Auction House auctioned a pill today," the Grand Elder said, "a peak sixth-grade pill, the Douhuang Pill."

Queen Medusa raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Sixth Rank Peak? Latest Plot: Click to follow the update."

"Yes." The Grand Elder nodded. "Any fighter of any level can possess the strength of a Dou Huang for a short period of time after consuming this product, with the effect lasting for one hour."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Queen Medusa tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the throne.

"Who made it?"

"It's said to be a teenager," the Grand Elder said. "An eight-star Dou Huang is very likely a seventh-grade alchemist."

Queen Medusa's pupils contracted slightly.

A teenager, an eight-star Dou Huang, and a seventh-grade alchemist—she had never heard of such a person before.

"Is the information reliable?" Queen Medusa asked.

"It's reliable," the elder said. "The news has spread throughout the Gama Empire. The young man's name is Xiao Xuan, and he's from the Xiao family of Wutan City."

Queen Medusa fell silent, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

The emergence of such a prodigy among humans is not good news for the snake-people.

The Second Elder took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, with such a powerful figure emerging from the human realm, it may pose a threat to our snake-people race in the future."

The Third Elder also spoke up.

"The Second Elder is right. Humans are getting stronger and stronger, and we must be on guard."

Queen Medusa glanced at them.

"What are you afraid of?"

The outskirts of the Snake-Man tribe.

Xiao Xuan landed on the ground and retracted his battle aura wings. He walked forward for a while and saw a patrol of guards ahead.

Leading the group was a tall woman in silver armor, with a cold and stern face; she was Hua She'er, the captain of the snake-people's guard.

She saw Xiao Xuan raise his hand immediately, and the guards behind him all stopped.

Flower Snake stared at Xiao Xuan, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Xuan looked at her.

"I want to see your queen."

Flower Snake's brows furrowed.

"See the Queen? Who are you to ask to see the Queen whenever you want?"

Xiao Xuan remained silent.

Flower Snake looked him up and down.

"Humans, this is the territory of the Snake People, not a place for humans. Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Xiao Xuan stood still without moving.

"I said I wanted to see your queen."

Hua She'er's face darkened.

"court death."

She suddenly waved her hand.

"Take it down."
