Chapter 26 : The Soaring Snake Clan’s Secret Plot
In the territory of the Soaring Snake Clan
A colossal hall stood, filled with countless lamps. These lamps, known as Soul Lamps, contained different flas representing the life force of their respective owners.
The strength of the fla directly correlated with the vitality of the life force: the brighter the fla, the stronger the life; the dimr the fla, the weaker the life. The extinguishing of a lamp’s fla signified the death of its owner.
The Soul Lamps in the Soaring Snake Clan were arranged hierarchically. The higher the lamp’s position, the fewer the number, indicating a higher status within the clan. The lamps on lower levels indicated lesser status.
At the topmost level, one lamp’s fla suddenly went out. The abruptness of the event initially went unnoticed by the disciples in the hall.
Several minutes passed before one disciple, glancing upwards, spotted the extinguished lamp. He nudged his companion, asking anxiously, “Isn’t that the God Son’s Soul Lamp?”
“Which one?” the other disciple asked, then saw the unlit lamp. Shocked, he exclaid, “The God Son’s Soul Lamp has gone out! Who dares to act against our God Son?”
Panic ensued. The God Son’s death is an earth-shattering event for the clan. “We must report this to the elders imdiately!” said one disciple.
“Right away!” agreed the other, and they hurried off to deliver the grim news.
A disciple of the Soaring Snake Clan hurriedly left the tower. A few minutes later, several figures with powerful auras appeared at the tower.
The disciples inside the tower saluted and said, “Third Elder!” The elders ignored the disciples and focused on the soul lamp of the Soaring Snake God Son.
Boom! An overwhelming aura burst forth, creating an intense pressure that made it difficult for the disciples to breathe.
An elder asked, “Where has the God Son been recently?”
His position was crucial for the Soaring Snake Clan’s future.
Soone replied, “So ti ago, the God Son went to Spirit Snake City for stone gambling.”
Hearing this, the elders frowned. If it happened in Spirit Snake City, it was unlikely anyone would dare attack the God Son.
“Continue the investigation; find out exactly who did it!” an elder commanded. “No matter who it is, they must pay. Our Soaring Snake Clan’s God Son cannot just die like this!”
Another elder added, “The God Son has fallen, but the clan cannot be without a young leader. Summon our young generation back for a trial to determine the new God Son!”

Inside the hall, many high-ranking mbers of the Soaring Snake Clan gathered, led by the Clan Leader.
“The latest news is that the God Son died at the hands of Primordial Holy Son Jiang Chen!” the fourth elder announced. “And it was our God Son who initiated the attack.”
The room fell silent. The elders realized that if the God Son died against an elder or a weaker power, they could act. But Primordial Holy Land was a formidable opponent.
“Did any elders intervene?” the fifth elder inquired.
“No, neither Jiang Chen’s guardian nor the God Son’s guardian intervened,” the fourth elder clarified. “And it wasn’t just the God Son; a prodigy from the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird Clan also fell to Jiang Chen. Both were suppressed without a chance to retaliate.”
A high-ranking mber expressed disbelief, “This is impossible. Jiang Chen is only in the True King Realm, and his realm is lower than the God Son’s. How could he achieve this? It’s very likely that Primordial Holy Son’s guardian intervened!”
The elders speculated that Primordial Holy Land might have intervened, breaking the rule that elders should not interfere in the younger generation’s battles.
The Clan Leader decided, “Fourth Elder, take one of our Life and Death Realm cultivators to test Jiang Chen’s strength. If he can’t easily defeat our cultivator, it ans he couldn’t have easily suppressed the God Son. This indicates that Primordial Holy Land has crossed the line.”
The high-ranking mbers agreed, understanding the implications. If Primordial Holy Land had indeed overstepped, they could act without restraint.
