Imparting Cultivation to Queen Medusa! Massive Cultivation Return!

"The Snake People Tribe has withdrawn?"

"What exactly did Sect Leader Yun Yun do? Could a single sentence really make the Snake People Tribe army retreat?"

After Yun Yun rushed over, Queen Medusa not only refrained from attacking, but also led her army away. Nalan Jie, Feng Li, the Lion King, and the others at the fortress were all immensely curious.

Under the four men's watchful eyes, Queen Medusa and the Snake People Tribe army gradually vanished from sight. The four of them then quickly headed to where Yun Yun was.

"Sect Leader Yun Yun, what did you say to Queen Medusa just now that made her withdraw so easily?"

Nalan Jie voiced the doubts in his heart.

"That woman was not Queen Medusa!" When Nalan Jie asked, Yun Yun recounted some of what she had heard.

"That Dou Zong expert actually wasn't Queen Medusa!"

"From her words about conveying Her Majesty the Queen's order, we can tell that her status in the Snake People Tribe is lower than Queen Medusa's. That indirectly proves that Queen Medusa is even stronger than the woman from before!"

After hearing Yun Yun's account, Nalan Jie, Feng Li, and the Lion King analyzed the situation with lingering fear.

"This news must be reported to Princess Yao Ye immediately. We also need to find out the Snake People Tribe's exact movements as soon as possible..."

After returning to the fortress, the worried Nalan Jie immediately issued one order after another to several young commanders.

Then, another unexpected piece of news suddenly arrived.

"Marshal, an unknown expert in Stone Desert City is suspected of having stopped Queen Medusa and the countless Snake People Tribe troops?" A young soldier ran up the city wall, gasping for breath as he spoke.

Upon hearing the young soldier's report, Nalan Jie and the others were practically dumbfounded. Even Yun Yun on the city wall was somewhat surprised.

"A small place like Stone Desert City only has a commander at the Da Dou Shi level stationed there. Since when did it have such a terrifying expert?" Nalan Jie took a deep breath and spoke in utter astonishment.

"Reporting to the Marshal, it is said that the expert was invited by the leader of the largest mercenary group in Stone Desert City, the Senior Disciple Mercenary Group!" the young soldier added.

"The leader of the Senior Disciple Mercenary Group? Who is he?"

Hearing the soldier mention a mercenary group, Nalan Jie and the others hurriedly pressed for details.

At that moment, the middle-aged commander who had originally been stationed at the fortress suddenly said, "Old Marshal Nalan, regarding the identity of the Senior Disciple Mercenary Group's leader, we only know that his surname is Liu. His real name is unknown, and he should be under nineteen years old. His cultivation is preliminarily estimated to be around that of a Five-star Great Dou Master. It is also said that he is a Third-grade Alchemist. In less than a year after arriving in Stone Desert City, he developed his mercenary group into the number one mercenary group there. Moreover, they were the ones who provided us with advance intelligence about the Snake People Tribe's movements this time!"

"What? This boy actually possesses such talent!"

After hearing the fortress commander's detailed introduction of the Senior Disciple Mercenary Group's Leader Liu, everyone was secretly astonished.

Not long ago, they had witnessed a young expert like Yan Xiao. Now, they had discovered another youth with talent equal to Yan Xiao's, and they could not help but sigh inwardly.

"It seems a new era is coming for the Jia Ma Empire. Old fellows like us should prepare to leave the stage!"

"Indeed. From now on, the world will belong to these young people."

"From the looks of it, that young man surnamed Liu must be apprenticed to some peerless expert. With him there, there's no need to worry too much about Stone Desert City."

While the others sighed with emotion, Yun Yun remained deep in thought.

"Surnamed Liu, a Third-grade Alchemist, apprenticed to some expert, less than a year..."

Combining all the clues, Yun Yun immediately suspected that the youth in Stone Desert City was Liu Ling, the disciple Gu He had sent out to train.

"Everyone, it is unclear whether the Snake People Tribe army has truly withdrawn or merely pretended to do so. Yun Yun wishes to investigate further!"

Having sorted out her thoughts, Yun Yun directly bade Nalan Jie and the others farewell.

Nalan Jie and the others were all highly supportive of Yun Yun's words. Having a Dou Emperor expert help investigate the Snake People Tribe's movements was more than they could ask for.

Of course, Yun Yun had not said that solely to investigate the Snake People Tribe's movements. Her true purpose was to go to Stone Desert City and meet the expert behind Leader Liu.

Her intuition told her that this expert was Gu He, who had been away from the Misty Cloud Sect for some time.

Husband, I hope you're still there!

After praying silently, the azure wings on Yun Yun's back abruptly spread open. She then swiftly left the city wall and shot through the sky toward the distant horizon.

At that moment, deep within the Tagor Desert, Queen Medusa had long since separated from the main army and returned alone to the Snake People Tribe Temple.

Upon learning of Queen Medusa's return, Hua She'er, the captain of Medusa's personal guard responsible for guarding the temple, greeted Queen Medusa with a smile.

However, Queen Medusa's first order upon returning was for her to take all of Medusa's personal guards and leave the temple. She also said that regardless of what happened inside the temple next, no one was to enter without her command.

Although Hua She'er was greatly puzzled by Queen Medusa's order, she carried it out without hesitation.

A moment later, only Queen Medusa remained within the vast Snake People Tribe Temple.

Queen Medusa did nothing in the grand hall. She merely sat quietly upon the luxurious throne, and the entire hall was incomparably silent.

After this silence lasted for seven or eight hours, the space in the center of the temple suddenly began to twist violently.

Noticing this phenomenon, joy immediately appeared on Queen Medusa's exquisite face. She then promptly rose to her feet with a solemn expression.

"Your disciple Cai Lin welcomes Master!"

As Queen Medusa bowed in salute, a refined middle-aged man dressed in blue robes slowly stepped out from the distorted space and hovered in midair.

"Cai Lin, there is no need for such formality between master and disciple!" Seeing Queen Medusa's manner, Gu He waved his hand and spoke casually.

"Master, have your injuries improved?"

Afterward, Cai Lin asked with concern in her beautiful eyes.

She knew very well that when Gu He had temporarily separated from her earlier, one reason was to let her handle the Snake People Tribe army's withdrawal. The other reason was likely to recover from his injuries.

"Injuries?... Oh, that little injury was nothing to your master!"

Hearing Queen Medusa's first words express concern for his injuries, Gu He felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, it had merely been an act, yet he had not expected Queen Medusa to take it so seriously.
