Heavenly Serpent Empire

Some sweat appeared on the Heavenly Serpent Empire Great Elder's forehead. If she attacked the Inner Academy, Su Qian would definitely be unable to stop her with his strength. If Su Qian didn't trust Xiao Yan, he wouldn't dare leave this great Buddha Under the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower.

Everyone understands the principle that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, but the Great Elder initially thought she was just breaking through to Seventh Order, and that he would be capable of handling any issues.

But now, this aura is definitely not as simple as just entering Dou Zong! "Here it comes!"

Buzz! Suddenly, a seven-colored divine light surged from the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower. The terrifying seven-colored light directly pierced through the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower, through space, and shone upon the sky!

Instantly, the entire Inner Academy was enveloped in a burst of seven-colored light. Although these rays were harmless to the human body, the scale of the coverage over the entire Inner Academy still terrified all the students.

"Could it be... the Fallen Heart Flame has erupted again!" a student who had experienced that event said tremblingly.

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see the records on the stone tablet? Senior Xiao Yan subdued the Fallen Heart Flame back then," said a fan of Xiao Yan.

"But, didn't Senior Xiao Yan find a second one and donate it to the academy, which allowed the academy's Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower to be used again? Maybe this is the second one!"

"Dude, putting aside everything else, the Fallen Heart Flame isn't colorful, and whatever Senior Xiao Yan can give to the academy is definitely not a problem."

Xiao Yan's reputation was even surpassing that of the elusive Dean.

Moreover, very few people in the entire Inner Academy knew what was Under the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower.

"It's coming!" The Great Elder exclaimed, speaking in a deep voice.

As Great Elder Su Qian's words fell, a seven-colored light suddenly rose, and a seven-colored rainbow shot straight into the sky like a meteor piercing the heavens, as if some treasure had been born.

But if you looked from a distance, you could see that the seven-colored light was extremely like a Giant Python of unknown length! "What is that thing!"

"It seems... it seems like someone!"

All the students of Canaan Academy, including those in the Outer Academy, looked over, all attracted by the seven-colored light rising from the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower.

As the core members of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu naturally knew that the Medusa Queen was cultivating Under the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower.

After all, the Medusa Queen was now an ally of the Xiao Clan.

"So beautiful," Xiao Mei said blankly, staring at the graceful figure in the rainbow light. Even though she was a beauty pursued and sought after by many in Canaan Academy, when she saw the fully evolved Medusa, who had successfully condensed the Strange Flame Serpent Body, her beauty paled in comparison.

In the face of such beauty, Xiao Mei didn't dare to call herself a beauty.

At this time, Medusa was wearing that noble and gorgeous long dress, with streaks of seven-colored rainbow light behind her, looking extremely beautiful.

Medusa's jade feet stepped on the rainbow, the colorful light rising, her figure swaying, her beautiful face and mature charm fully displayed.

That cold and beautiful gaze made Medusa even more noble. She was already beautiful and moving, and coupled with the fact that she was the ruler of a country, she exuded a charming and noble aura, high above, making people want to kneel at her feet, lower their heads, and willingly obey her orders.

At this moment, Medusa slowly looked around, and for some reason, the first person she looked at was not Su Qian, the Great Elder with the strongest strength, nor the Two Elders hidden in the Books Collection Pavilion, but Xiao Yu!

Seeing Medusa looking over, Xiao Yu subconsciously took half a step back, but for some reason, Xiao Yu bit her lip lightly, and with a surge of energy, she actually raised her head to look directly at her.

However, Medusa quickly withdrew her gaze, glanced at the statue of Xiao Yan standing on the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower, and instantly, a terrifying Soul power swept over, naturally not finding Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan returned to the Gama Empire not long after he came out more than a year ago, and is not in the Black-Corner Region now," Great Elder Su Qian naturally sensed Medusa's Soul power sweeping across the entire Canaan Academy, and guessed who she was looking for, so he immediately said.

Hearing Su Qian's words, Medusa just glanced at him indifferently, and just as she was about to leave, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she exerted a slight force on Xiao Yan's statue below.

With a bang, the entire statue instantly turned into powder, and then disappeared.

With Medusa's departure, the rainbow light also disappeared, as if the strange phenomenon had never existed, as if it was just a mirage.

The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed Medusa leaving. He originally thought that Medusa's strength was at most just entering Dou Zong, but he didn't expect that her cultivation had actually reached Advanced Dou Zong! 1 to 3 stars are low-level, 4 to 6 stars are mid-level, and high-level is naturally 7 to 9 stars.

It was estimated that even Xiao Yan didn't expect that he estimated that Medusa was also just entering Dou Zong, and her strength was at most a Three Star Dou Zong.

But he ignored the fact that because Medusa joined the Flame Alliance, he did use the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame to continuously activate Medusa's bloodline power without reservation during that time. In addition, Xiao Yan gave most of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed to Medusa, and the small Fallen Heart Flame accompanied her, allowing Medusa to gather the power of three Strange Flames in one body.

After the physical body completely grew to Seventh Order, and after completely merging with the Soul and bloodline, Medusa's strength seemed to have a chemical reaction, blossoming and bearing fruit.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame activated the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's bloodline, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was used to evolve the Soul, and finally the Fallen Heart Flame was used to condense the body. With this set of methods, even a pig could fly!

Medusa herself didn't expect that her power would increase so much after complete fusion.

Seeing the statue on the ground turned into powder, Su Qian shook his head speechlessly, wondering what she was angry about with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Mei murmured: "Is she blaming Xiao Yan for not waiting for her?"

Su Qian's expression was strange, and he shook his head and said, "It's not that childish, right."

Only Xiao Yu looked thoughtful.

Naturally, the news of Medusa's sudden appearance in the Inner Academy spread like wildfire. The general public was certainly discussing Medusa's beauty and her smashing of Xiao Yan's statue at the end.

Many students, unaware of the truth, exaggerated the story, gradually turning it into a tale of how Senior Xiao Yan, after leaving Canaan Academy, had been philandering outside, attracting such a killing god. It even evolved into a story of Xiao Yan's one-night stand, 'resulting in a life,' with the aggrieved party finding him at the academy to seek justice.

Naturally, Xiao Yan, far away in the Heavenly Serpent Empire, could not possibly know that Medusa had emerged from Under the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower.

"Huff, finally arrived."

After flying for seven days, the Flame Alliance group finally arrived at the Heavenly Serpent Empire's capital.

The Heavenly Serpent Empire's capital was a massive ancient city, incredibly prosperous and teeming with demons. Here, the number of Magical Beasts far exceeded that of humans, and the most numerous were undoubtedly the Snake Race.

Here, one could see all sorts of Snake Race members: Snake-People Race, Horned Snake Race, Winged Snake Race, Crawling Snake Race, Giant Snake Race, and so on. The Snake Race's ability to hybridize was definitely not weaker than the Dragon Race's.

As Xiao Yan and the others approached the Heavenly Serpent Empire's capital, they could see from afar a colossal, emerald-green Giant Python statue piercing the clouds at the city's center.

The entire Giant Python was emerald green, not carved from ordinary stone. From a distance, one could only see its body, not its face, as its upper half was obscured by clouds.

In the Heavenly Serpent Empire's capital, what was interesting was that people didn't use clocks to tell time, but rather the Giant Python statue's shadow. The long, dark shadow moved slowly as the sun rose and set, creating an indescribable sense of dread, as if one were constantly being watched by a Giant Python in the sky, with nowhere to hide.

The Heavenly Serpent Empire was named after this Giant Snake statue. It was rumored that the Giant Snake was a statue of the Dou Sheng from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, erected to commemorate his great achievements. Others said that the Giant Snake contained the power of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Dou Sheng, protecting the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and serving as its guardian deity.

Although the Heavenly Serpent Empire was said to be protected by this statue, no one had seen it display its divine power for many years. In fact, the Heavenly Serpent Empire had been relatively peaceful and tranquil for thousands of years, with no major wars, and no one had been able to attack the Heavenly Serpent Empire's capital.

Seeing that giant statue naturally meant they were about to enter the Heavenly Serpent capital.

Not to mention Zi Yan, who couldn't sit still, even Yun Yun's temperament felt quite weary. She hadn't come to the previous Sect Assembly because she had already made a name for herself, and more importantly, it was too far! Xiao Yan couldn't help but rub his temples, knowing that Central State was even further! After passing through the Heavenly Serpent capital, they would have to travel, fly across the entire Northwest Region, before reaching the outskirts of Central State!

"Let's land here; flying is forbidden in the Heavenly Serpent capital." Jia Xing Tian patted the Nethersea Flood Dragon's scales, and with a roar, the Nethersea Flood Dragon slowly landed on a grassland outside the Heavenly Serpent capital.

With a loud boom, the Nethersea Flood Dragon's massive body landed heavily, creating a huge pit in the ground.

"What's that noise!"

"What a powerful Magical Beast! Is that a Dragon!"

"It seems to be a Sixth Order Flood Dragon. Judging by its aura, I wonder which sect is riding such a Magical Beast."

The Heavenly Serpent capital was not only a gathering place for the Sect Assembly, but also the most prosperous city in the entire Northwest Region. Located in the center of the Northwest Region, the Heavenly Serpent Empire was undoubtedly the only way for all other countries in the Northwest Region to conduct business.

Many powerful empires had merchant groups that traveled through various empires on flying Magical Beasts, selling and buying goods.

After establishing the Flame Alliance and occupying Maple City, the Mittel Auction House had such flying merchant groups, traveling back and forth between the Snake-People Empire, the Black-Corner Region, and the Gama Empire.

Even in the Heavenly Serpent Empire, Magical Beasts with the strength of the Nethersea Flood Dragon held a prominent position and could serve as elders in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King that Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong had joined forces to fight was only slightly stronger than the Nethersea Flood Dragon.

The Nethersea Flood Dragon, standing on its hind legs, slowly walked towards the city gate. After all, the Heavenly Serpent Empire was a kingdom of Magical Beasts, and the city gates here were more than ten times larger than normal, allowing even the Nethersea Flood Dragon to pass through easily.

Sensing the strength of the people on the Nethersea Flood Dragon's back, how could the guards dare to stop them? They knew without thinking that this was a top-tier sect coming to participate in the Sect Assembly.

"What a powerful aura."

"There's definitely a Dou Zong expert."

"I wonder which top-tier sect this is. I don't think I've seen this huge Flood Dragon before."

Each Sect Assembly had nearly a hundred sects and forces participating, and only those with Dou Zong experts could be ranked as top-tier. The Chuyun Empire and Luoyan Sect were top-tier sects, while the Gama Empire and Snake-People Empire were once second-rate forces.

As they stepped into the Snake-People capital, the emotions of the group varied. Zi Yan, Yue Er, and Nalan Yanran, being younger and visiting the Snake-People capital for the first time, were extremely excited.

After entering the capital, Zi Yan couldn't help but look around, like a country bumpkin visiting the city. She was especially shocked when she saw that the surroundings were filled with Magical Beasts, and even the vendors and waiters were Magical Beasts.

To facilitate transactions, the Magical Beasts of the Heavenly Serpent Empire learned human languages, making communication completely seamless.

"Most of them are really Magical Beasts!" Zi Yan looked excitedly, as it was her first time seeing a city inhabited by Magical Beasts, and she felt a sense of kinship.

She wondered if her hometown was like this, filled with Dragons everywhere!

As for Xiao Yan, he was now staring sharply at the location of the statue in the center of the Heavenly Serpent capital. He knew that was where the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was located, and Qing Lin was there.

Several years had passed, and he still didn't know how that girl Qing Lin was doing.

"Don't worry, you'll see that little girl sooner or later. No matter what happens, we should try not to offend the Heavenly Serpent Mansion for now." Hai Bo Dong reminded Xiao Yan, afraid that he would rush into the Heavenly Serpent Mansion directly.

Xiao Yan nodded. He wasn't an impulsive person, and Bai Ya and Lü Man had promised to give Qing Lin the best inheritance, education, and treatment.

If Qing Lin was doing well, then that would be enough.

Xiao Yan remained silent, and Yun Yun and Hai Bo Dong, who were by his side, didn't disturb his thoughts. Only Zi Yan, Nalan Yanran, and Yue Er were excitedly looking around, curious about everything.

After Xiao Yan and the others entered the capital, it was already getting dark. Yun Yun asked, "Let's find a place to stay first."

Xiao Yan and the others originally planned to stay for a while to participate in the Sect Assembly, so he wasn't in a hurry and nodded.

Forces with strength like Xiao Yan's, all Dou Wang and above, even Dou Zong, were arranged in a huge courtyard, even with a huge pool prepared, just right for the Nethersea Flood Dragon to rest.

"This preparation is quite thoughtful." Xiao Yan was still very satisfied. As the host, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had done a good job. With hundreds of sects participating, each sect had an independent courtyard.

"Xiao Yan! Let's go out for a walk!" Zi Yan grabbed Xiao Yan's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "That's good too. I also need to buy some Medicinal Herbs. It would be best if I could buy them here."

"This old man will go with you. After all, I've been to the Heavenly Serpent Empire's capital when I was young, so I'm quite familiar with it," Hai Bo Dong said, standing up as a guide.

"Nalan Yanran, you should go and broaden your horizons as well," Yun Yun said, seeing that Nalan Yanran also wanted to go.

"Then what about you, Master?"

"I'll stay here and wait for you to return. I feel that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and perhaps I can break through to Eight Star before the assembly," Yun Yun said with a gentle smile.

In the end, Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong took Zi Yan, Yue Er, and Nalan Yanran, these younger generation members, and headed towards the streets.

Before leaving, Xiao Yan secretly nodded to Xiao Li and Xiao Ding, and then Xiao Ding and Xiao Li quietly left the Courtyard.
