"Yao Ming Clan Leader, your choice is very wise."
"Young friend, now that I've agreed to hand over the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet to you, shouldn't you rescue me from this predicament?" Yao Ming said anxiously, "At the end of these chains lies the Yellow Spring Yin Stone Yellow Spring Yin Stone, which continuously releases chilling power that drains my fighting Dou Qi, leaving me in a constantly weakened state..."
"At the junction of the iron chain and the mountain, there is an ingenious mechanism where the Yellow Spring Yin Stone are hidden. If you can break it, I can successfully escape!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan remained unmoved, looked at Yao Ming, slowly shook his head, and said, "I don't trust you."
"Young friend, what do you mean by this?"
"Of course, it means exactly what it says. If I'm not mistaken, your strength has at least reached the level of Two-Star Dou Sheng, while I only have the strength of One-Star Dou Sheng Initial Stage. What will happen if you back out later?"
"Young friend, please rest assured, I swear, I, Yao Ming, would never do such an ungrateful thing!"
Yao Ming said somewhat anxiously.
"Swear an oath? I don't know you at all. I don't believe in oaths!"
After hearing Huo Xuan's words, Yao Ming opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Indeed, he couldn't get Huo Xuan to completely trust him on their first meeting.
"However, it's not impossible for me to save you. The three conditions remain the same, but we need to add one more prerequisite..." Huo Xuan stared intently at Yao Ming and suddenly said, "You automatically release your soul so that I can place a soul imprint on it, and then I will save you."
Upon hearing this, the Yao Ming's expression changed slightly. He released his soul and allowed someone to place a soul imprint on it, which was tantamount to handing his life over to someone else!
"Only in this way can I fully trust you. If you are unwilling, I can turn around and leave immediately. I will find a way to get my hands on the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet in the future and help you regain the position of clan leader. To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in this mess."
Huo Xuan said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Yao Ming gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering uncertainly. He did not want to be controlled by others, but when he thought of the suffering he had endured for hundreds of years, the resentment in his heart surged!
"Fine, I'll do as you say. I can't contain my resentment any longer! I'm going to tear that bastard Yao Xiaotian to pieces!"
At that moment, Yao Ming gritted his teeth and roared.
"Alright! Let's get started without further ado!"
Seeing that Yao Ming had actually agreed, Huo Xuan urged him on.
"Call..."
Yao Ming took a deep breath, a light flashed between his brows, and an invisible Soul Power surged out, finally condensing into a giant black snake in front of him.
Seeing Yao Ming summon his soul, Huo Xuan smiled slightly. Immediately, he also had a thought, and a wisp of soul, glowing with a bit of heat, drifted out and quickly invaded the forehead of the black giant snake. When the Soul Imprint entered the giant snake's forehead, the latter's body trembled violently, and then the snake form dissipated and burrowed into Yao Ming's brow.
When those souls were absorbed into Yao Ming's brow, Huo Xuan was able to sense the latter's soul fluctuations. Now, with just a thought, the Soul Imprint would explode instantly, shattering the latter's soul into pieces.
"The soul imprint has been set. Tell the truth, Yao Ming Clan Leader, my Soul Power is not weak. If you lie to me, I will detonate the soul imprint! At best, you will suffer severe injuries, and your strength will never improve again. At worst, your soul will be annihilated, and you will die on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Xuan moved and appeared at the end of an iron chain. The chain was deeply embedded in a dark mountain. The mountain was not large, only a few dozen feet in size, but the cold power contained within it made Huo Xuan shiver even with the protection of his Strange Fire.
"The Yellow Spring Yin Stone?"
Gazing at the pitch-black mountain, Huo Xuan clenched his fists, unleashing a torrent of battle Dou Qi from within his body, which he then slammed fiercely into the mountain.
"Bang!"
A huge wave of water spread out with a rumbling sound from Huo Xuan's fist landed, but the dark mountain only trembled once before becoming completely still.
"The Yellow Spring Yin Stone has been tempered by the power of Yin cold for countless years and is already indestructible. Even if I regain my strength, I would probably have a hard time destroying it."
A hint of disappointment appeared on Yao Ming's withered face, and he said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"The things in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs are indeed extraordinary..." Huo Xuan summoned Strange Fire, gazing at the Yellow Spring Yin Stone, and murmured, "But I refuse to believe that this broken stone isn't even afraid of Strange Fire!"
Just as Yao Ming Huo Xuan working hard to break the seal on Yao Ming, a magnificent palace in the Nether Serpent Earth Vein was bustling with activity!
The leaders of many Snake-People Tribe gathered here, their laughter echoing within the main hall.
On the throne in the main hall sat a man dressed in black. The man was quite handsome, but there was an undisguised coldness between his brows. His eyes flashed with a sharp light when they were slightly open and closed, like a venomous snake that could kill in an instant, making people's hearts tremble.
Beside the man, two alluring women carefully massaged his body, while his large hands roamed over their soft, delicate bodies, making their eyes glaze over and giving them an exceptionally seductive appearance.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the man in black abruptly opened his slightly closed eyes, a look of shock in them. "The seal has broken?"
"Chief, what's wrong?" Below the man, an old man with a bright red venomous snake coiled on his shoulder frowned slightly and asked.
"The seal that suppressed the Yao Ming has suddenly broken..." The man in black stood up abruptly, his face grim, and a faint voice reached the old man's ears.
"What? How is that possible!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed drastically. He quickly composed himself, glanced discreetly at the elders and tribal leaders in the hall, and then whispered, "Go quickly. If that Yao Ming escapes, we're doomed. I'll hold this position and come back to support you as soon as possible..."
"Don't worry, he won't have a chance to turn things around."
The man in black gave a sinister smile, and with a swift movement, he vanished from the throne.
"Hehe, an elder has reported some matters, so the clan leader will go and meet him first. Everyone, please continue..." After the man in black disappeared, the old man stood up and smiled as he reassured everyone in the hall.
At the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
"Snap!"
The Yellow Spring Yin Stone was destroyed by the Huo Xuan, accompanied by the sound of metal breaking. With the surge of Dou Qi within his body, Yao Ming broke the four iron chains that bound him!
"Haha, I never thought I, Yao Ming, would actually make it to this day!"
Although Yao Ming's body is extremely weak, he is clearly extremely excited!
"Thank you for saving me, my lord. May I ask your honorable name and which faction in the Central Plains you come from?"
"My name is Huo Xuan. The rest is none of your concern."
"My lord, I will never forget this life-saving grace. As long as I can take my revenge, I, Yao Ming, will do everything in my power, even if it means exhausting the entire power of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, to help you in the future!"
Suddenly, Yao Ming knelt down, his gaze fixed on Huo Xuan, and said in a deep voice.
"You're not in good shape right now; you're no match for Yao Xiaotian."
As he spoke, Huo Xuan took out a pill from his Storage Ring, flicked his finger, and the pill turned into a stream of light that fell into Yao Ming's hand.
"Once you've regained your strength, we'll go and have a go at your brother!"
