Chapter 526: The Movents of the Snake People!
This ti, when Liu Ling left Yunlan Sect, it was completely different from the previous tis. His extrely high cultivation level greatly boosted his confidence.
With his current strength as a Five-Star Dou Ancestor, coupled with the cultivation of the high-grade Tianjie skill, Shenhuo Jue, and the refining of his innate divine fire, even if he encountered so high-ranking Dou Ancestors, he was confident that he could retreat safely. Moreover, Liu Ling was now well aware of just how powerful his master, Gu He, truly was. Even if he were to be overmatched, he still had his master to fall back on.
At this mont, after leaving the isha Tribe, Liu Ling headed straight towards the deeper parts of the desert.
...
"Phew!"
Sensing that Liu Ling had already left, the Snake Woman Yue Shu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The imnse pressure she had felt while facing such a terrifying Dou Ancestor-level cultivator like Liu Ling had been overwhelming.
"Lady Yue Shu, was that human really already at the Dou Ancestor level?" a Snake person asked Yue Shu doubtfully. "He looks so young. It seems unlikely that soone so young could beco a Dou Ancestor-level strong cultivator, right?"
"I'm puzzled too. Although his strength was already formidable two years ago, it should not have reached the Dou King level yet... However, the power he just displayed and the aura he exuded were even more terrifying than that of the Great Elder!" Yue Shu replied to the other snake people with a grave expression. Although she expressed her doubts about Liu Ling's cultivation level, she did not harbor much skepticism in her heart.
Liu Ling was nothing short of a legendary figure at the edge of the desert. So people had compared his cultivation level when he first entered the Stone Desert City, and his talent for cultivation could be described as extrely terrifying.
Moreover, with the recent news of Yunlan Sect's skyrocketing reputation in the Jia Ma Empire and the event of having three Dou Ancestors in one sect, Yue Shu's horizons had been broadened significantly.
After pondering for a while on the spot, Yue Shu ordered loudly, "Send soone imdiately to deliver the news of this person's intrusion into the depths of the desert to Lady Yue i, and also send soone to the temple!"
The current reputation of the Jia Ma Empire had almost reached its peak in hundreds of years, and the Snake People had long been aware of the news of the three Dou Ancestors in one sect. Therefore, the Snake People had to be extrely attentive to anyone coming from the Jia Ma Empire.
"As you command!"
Upon hearing Yue Shu's order, the surrounding snake people respectfully replied.
...
The internal communication within the Snake People's tribe relied on so flying birds, which were quite fast in delivering ssages. However, compared to Liu Ling's Dou Ancestor-level cultivation, the speed of those ssenger birds was far from comparable.
Liu Ling, deep in the desert, had no idea what had happened in the isha Tribe.
After another two days of traveling in the desert, a huge city finally began to appear faintly at the end of the horizon.
As Liu Ling approached the city, he noticed that among the uniform expanse of yellow sand surrounding the city, which could be described as magnificent, there were now many large stones. Beyond these scattered rocks lay the temple city of the Snake People.
During these two days, Liu Ling was not solely focused on traveling.
Along the way, he had almost managed to find out the reason why the leaders and elite troops of the various Snake People tribes had left their tribes.
It turned out that the leaders of these Snake People tribes had all received a summons from Queen dusa. The tribal armies had only marched to a place five hundred miles away from the temple, with only eight leaders entering the temple.
At this mont, Liu Ling stood high in the sky, gazing into the distance at the huge city standing in the desert.
The massive city in front of him had its city gates tightly closed. On the city walls, fully ard Snake People guards patrolled back and forth. Above the city walls, more than ten pitch-black large birds circled around, their sharp eyes constantly scanning the area outside the city. The slightest movent would cause these creatures to sound the alarm.
The dusa Queen's temple has a defensive force that far surpasses that of the other snake tribes. Among the snake guards, there are occasionally so snake people with rather strange attire. These snake people, with their indifferent expressions, stand like pillars on the city walls.
No other snake dares to step within several zhang of these strange snake people, clearly showing a great deal of fear and respect for them.
"These guys must be dusa's personal guard. They are indeed elite!" Liu Ling's gaze swept over the strange snake people, and he muttered to himself.
Though these guards are strong, they are nothing to Liu Ling at his current level.
Having arrived at the temple, Liu Ling briefly pondered, then extended his soul power to envelop himself, trying to conceal so of his aura, before continuing to move forward.
...
At this mont, inside a large hall within the dusa Queen's temple, the leaders of the eight major snake tribes have all gathered.
At the very end of the hall, on a purple crystal throne, sits a graceful red figure.
The woman on the purple throne is dressed in a luxurious red brocade robe. Beneath the robe, her voluptuous and shapely figure, like a ripe peach, exudes a subtle charm.
Her long, dark hair casually cascades down from her fragrant shoulders, reaching her slender waist. Beneath the red brocade robe, her smooth, plump, and enticing thighs are casually crossed, stirring endless fantasies in the onlookers' minds.
At present, the seven male snake tribe leaders who have entered the hall do not dare to look directly at this alluring red figure, for fear of offending the noble woman on the throne. Even the female snake tribe leader, Yue i, dares not be too casual with her gaze.
"Leaders, if the negotiations with the Jia Ma Empire fail this ti, we will begin to prepare for an attack on the countries on the other side of the desert!" dusa Queen's clear and cold voice, filled with imnse authority, resounds throughout the hall.
The leaders in the hall all have grave expressions regarding dusa Queen's decision.
The content of dusa Queen's negotiations with the Jia Ma Empire is to request passage next to the Jia Ma Empire's fortress, which is located at the border of the desert and the Demon Beast Mountain Range, in order to migrate the Snake People to the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range for habitation.
However, the probability of the Jia Ma Empire agreeing to such a request is extrely low.
The Demon Beast Mountain Range, where the Snake People plan to migrate, does not belong to the territory of the Jia Ma Empire. However, the Jia Ma Empire has almost no military deploynt in that area. Instead, there are only so rcenaries and mbers of powerful families who enter that part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range to hunt for demon beasts.
If the Snake People were to relocate there, conflicts with these rcenaries are highly likely. Moreover, the Jia Ma Empire would constantly have to guard against the Snake People's possible encroachnt into the Jia Ma Empire's territory.
