News of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent

Having dealt with the Ice River Valley's Bing Xun, only the Yao Yun of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe remains.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged a glance, then turned their heads to look at another battlefield, where Qing Lin was controlling the Purple Netherflame Serpent and Zi Yan was controlling the Human-Monster Puppet, who was engaged in Yao Yun.

Yao Yun was even stronger than Bing Xun, and he fought against the Purple Netherflame Serpent and the Human-Monster Puppet all by himself, even gaining a slight advantage.

But his arrogance ended there. Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian did not hesitate any longer. With a swift movement, they Battle Group. Soon, Yao Yun was captured alive by Xiao Ming and then sent to Qing Lin to be controlled by him.

Controlling two Dou Zong whose strength far surpassed his own had consumed a great deal of Qing Lin's energy.

However, the benefit is obvious: Qing Lin's cultivation speed will become exceptionally fast.

After dealing with the Yao Yun, Xiao Ming did not forget Bing Xun's corpse. He beckoned to it, and Bing Xun's corpse on the ground was sucked into Xiao Ming's hand.

With a touch of his finger on her forehead, Bing Xun's soul was extracted.

Upon its appearance, Bing Xun's soul spoke with venomous resentment.

"You despicable brat, you killed me! Now there will be nowhere for you to hide in this Central Region! Just wait, it won't be long before you become a wanted criminal of the Ice River Valley."

"With the Woeful Poison Body by your side, besides my Ice River Valley, you will also face attacks from other forces, hahaha!"

"So noisy!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming snorted coldly, then covered the creature with Pale White Flame, ignoring its screams, and sealed it away. Finally, he threw it and its corpse into his Na Ring, to keep Yin Yun, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect, company.

After doing all this, Xiao Ming led the women directly out of the city.

It would be unwise to leave this place untouched after killing the powerful members of the Ice River Valley and controlling the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe.

Upon seeing Xiao Ming and the others leave, the onlookers erupted into another huge discussion.

First, they discussed the age of Xiao Ming and his group. They could tell that the oldest of Xiao Ming's group was no more than twenty years old, but each of them possessed terrifying strength, capable of contending with Dou Zong. Clearly, this was a group of exceptionally talented geniuses.

The second topic is the discussion of the Joyful Union Sect Master who was killed, and Bing Xun, the Ice River Valley Elder whose heart was ripped out by Xiao Ming.

Most people felt relieved by Yin Yun's death, but when Bing Xun died, they thought Xiao Ming had gotten himself into big trouble.

Although the battleground where Xiao Ming and his group fought was isolated and silent by Xiao Yi Xian, Bing Xun Ice Emperor River Valley were still easily recognizable.

If Xiao Ming killed the other party, it would mean that he had offended Ice River Valley.

That's the Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys of Central Plains, with immense power. They had already foreseen what Xiao Ming and his companions would encounter.

Just as many were shaking their heads and sighing at the impending doom of Xiao Ming and his companions, they boarded Spatial Flying Ship and left the area directly through a spatial portal.

Inside the Spatial Flying Ship, Xiao Ming sat cross-legged at the bow, holding three Advanced Storage Rings in his hands: one black, one white, and one red.

These were the Na Ring belonging to Bing Xun, Yin Yun, and Yao Yun.

Xiao Ming had a habit of looting corpses and taking spoils of war.

Looking at the three Na Rings, a powerful Soul Power burst forth from his body and invaded the Na Ring. Soon, Xiao Ming encountered an obstacle, which was the soul protection set up by the original owner of the Na Ring.

This protection was naturally breached in less than three seconds in front of Xiao Ming.

His mind swept through the three Na Rings, and soon Xiao Ming had several scrolls in his hand.

Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique Ice Attribute combat skill: "Ice Venerate Strength"

Ice Attribute Earth Tier Middle Grade Cultivation Method, "The Ice River Era"

Earth Tier Low-Grade Cultivation Technique, "The Heavenly Phoenix Cultivation Technique".

Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, "Rouge Skeleton Hand".

Earth Tier Middle Grade Dou Technique, "Imprisoning Cloud Hand"

Earth Tier Low-Grade Cultivation Technique, "Nine Serene Human Art".

Looking at the Earth Tier Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills in his hand, Xiao Ming couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Murder and arson bring wealth and power; these are priceless Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, and I obtained them so easily. No wonder some people become robbers every day, robbing everywhere."

After casually flipping through these items, Xiao Ming left only one of the Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, the Imprisoning Cloud Hand, outside, and put the rest into his Star Ring. Then he began to examine his Na Ring again.

Besides the Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills that Xiao Ming had stored in his Na Ring, the three of them also had some other low-level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, as well as other items such as medicinal herbs, weapons, and rare ores.

Although these items were all quite valuable, apart from the medicinal herbs, none of the others piqued Xiao Ming's interest. Just as Xiao Ming getting bored after searching through them, an inconspicuous Sheepskin Scroll in Yao Yun's Na Ring caught his attention.

With a thought, Xiao Ming took it out and placed it in his palm.

Unroll the scroll, and the first thing you see is a line of small characters.

"My name is Yao Yun, a collateral descendant of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. My bloodline is weak, and after more than six hundred years of cultivation, I have only reached the Dou Ancestor Six Stars. Sensing that my days are numbered, I have stumbled upon news of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent's Tomb. I do not know if it is true or not, but I wish to go and gamble. If I succeed, I will become a saint and an ancestor; if I fail, I will vanish into nothingness. If you obtain this sheepskin scroll, you may take it to the Nether Snake Earth Meridian and hand it over to my clan. You will surely be richly rewarded..."

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow as he read the small print.

"I never expected that this Yao Yun would have such ambition."

Yao Yun's desire to travel alone to the Ancient Heavenly Serpent was clearly driven by the possibility of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent's legacy. The Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent, making it quite possible for him to succeed.

However, Yao Yun seemed to know other information and felt the risk was too high, so he wrote a parchment scroll. If he failed, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe might still be able to obtain information about the Ancient Heavenly Serpent's tomb.

They had thought things through quite thoroughly, but unfortunately, we ran into them halfway there.

Looking at the map drawn on the parchment scroll, Xiao Ming couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The Ancient Heavenly Serpent! That's a treasure. I just wonder if it's the same tomb that Qing Lin found in the original story.

If the soul of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent can be found within and Qing Lin refines it, Qing Lin's strength might improve significantly, similar to that of Xiao Yi Xian obtained the Nether Poison Flame, or even surpass it.

If the Ancient Heavenly Serpent's soul is powerful enough, it might even rise directly to the level of Dou Zun.

Just as Xiao Ming was pondering, Xiao Yi Xian gracefully moved to his side, her face showing some worry.

"Xiao Ming, that Ice River Valley..."

Xiao Yi Xian's words brought Xiao Ming back to his senses. He put down the Sheepskin Scroll and said calmly:

"Don't worry, we'll arrive at the Pill Tower Headquarters in a few days. I've already been certified as Seven-Rank Alchemist Pill Tower. Once we're there, even if there's Dou Zun in Ice River Valley, they won't be able to do anything to us."

Seeing Xiao Ming's confident demeanor, Xiao Yi Xian breathed a sigh of relief. She was genuinely worried that her constitution would make it difficult for Xiao Ming and his companions to move around in Central Plains.
