Hundreds of corpses were lying on the ground, blood was flowing in the oars, and they were wailing endlessly.

Medusa's final seriousness was too terrifying. At least three to four hundred people were killed, and even more injured. The entire four thousand army was almost crippled, their morale was low, and they had lost their combat effectiveness, let alone pursuit?

Watching Medusa fly away from a distance, Nalan Jie did not order the pursuit, only Nalan Jia was gathering and calming the troops.

Nalan Jie and Hai Bodong converged their light wings and landed next to me. Their faces were not very good-looking and they were both injured.

The two of them each took the best Healing Pill from Fifth-Rank to Sixth-Rank. Hai Bodong looked at the direction where Medusa was going away and said quietly:

"The next thing to watch is Sect Leader Yun. I really hope I can kill Medusa..."

Nalan Jie nodded, looked away from the horizon, looked down at Qing Lin, paused, and said, "This Little Girl is somewhat interesting."

Qing Lin cowered behind me, afraid to look at Nalan Jie. I shook my head, forced a smile, and said:

"Old man, I saw it in an ancient book. It seems to be called "Jade Eye Three Flower Pupils", which will only appear in hybrids of Snake-People and Human Race. It can control the snake-shaped Magical Beast, but I didn't expect it to also restrict Snake-People."

"Even Medusa Queen can get dizzy. I never thought there was such a talent in the world!"

Nalan Jie was amazed, sighed, and said regretfully, "What a pity, if I had known about this talent earlier, I should have made a battle plan based on this talent, and killed Medusa in one fell swoop while she was dazed."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although I had known that Qing Lin had such a talent, who would have thought that Jade Eye Three Flower Pupils would be so incredible?

Even Medusa can get dizzy!

"Plans... always fail to keep up with changes."

I sighed, but I didn't realize that our conversation was overheard by Mo Family Great Elder who came over. His eyes flickered, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes when he looked at Qing Lin.

But then, he was covered up by him. He quickly came to Nalan Jie, bowed and said, "Mo Family Great Elder Mo Cheng, I have seen Nalan Old Clan Leader."

Farther away, on top of a Sand Dune, there was a black shadow. A closer look revealed that the black shadow was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old!

"Teacher, Medusa ran away."

Xiao Yan was dressed in a big black robe, lying on top of Sand Dune, looking at Medusa's leaving figure, and said anxiously.

"Look how anxious you are."

A voice sounded faintly, and it seemed extremely sudden. There was clearly only one person on this Sand Dune, so how could there be a second voice?

After listening carefully, this second sound actually came from Black Ring on the right index finger of Xiao Yan!

A line of pale white smoke floated up, and Yao Lao swayed out of Black Ring. He squinted and looked to the horizon in the distance, and could clearly see the huge purple snake body of Medusa.

He smacked his lips and said in admiration, "This Snake-People Tribe is really strange. It can perfectly transform into a giant snake. It's quite interesting."

Xiao Yan was young and said uncontrollably, "Teacher, don't worry about Snake-People or Snake-People. Medusa is about to take Azure Lotus Core Flame away. Let's chase him quickly. If we don't chase Exotic Flame, we will really be gone."

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan, rolled his eyes, and cursed, "You stinky boy, I'm not even in a hurry, you're in a hurry."

He suddenly stopped shouting and scolding, a hint of joking appeared in the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Little Yanzi, do you really want to take action now?"

Xiao Yan wondered, "If you don't take action now, when will you take action?"

Yao Lao spread his hands, smiled and said, "It's up to you, I don't really care. It's just that you Xiao Family and Nalan Family are in-laws after all. If you take Azure Lotus Core Flame, you can hide it for a year or two, but you can't hide it for ten or twenty years."

"Look, how many people died in the Nalan Family's attempt to seize Azure Lotus Core Flame? When Nalan Family comes and asks, what will you do?"

Yao Lao pointed at the battlefield in the distance, blood was rising to the sky, and dead bodies were everywhere, but he didn't care and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter to me. Nalan Family and I are not in-laws. I don't have any psychological burden at all in robbing their things."

"But Little Yanzi, what do you think...?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and fell silent. He wouldn't care much if he robbed things from his enemies or people he didn't know, but Nalan Family...

His grandfather knew Nalan Jie and they were very good friends. The two families were friends for three generations. Xiao Meier was engaged to Nalan Ye, and the two families were related by marriage - this relationship was somewhat close.

This relationship is not easy to deal with!

After struggling for a while, Xiao Yan rubbed his hair fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Medusa has run away, Nalan Family's operation is considered a failure - since it failed, there is no reason why Azure Lotus Core Flame can only go and get it Nalan Family!"

"Hey hey..."

Yao Lao laughed strangely, nodded with satisfaction, shook his head again, and said, "Who said Nalan Family has failed? You didn't find out... that one person never showed up?"

Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Yun Yun!"

He stared at the battlefield and wondered, "I said something is wrong, Yun Yun but Dou Emperor, why didn't she show up in this battle... Where did she go?"

Xiao Yan frowned, muttering in his mouth, thinking for a moment, turning his head to look at the silhouette of Medusa that had turned into a black dot on the horizon, and finally punched Yellow Sand with a sudden realization, and said excitedly:

"Teacher, I understand, Yun Yun is ambushing Medusa on her way home and wants to sneak attack her!"

Xiao Yan looked back at Yao Lao, only to see Yao Lao tilting his head and staring into the distance. He followed, but only saw a series of Sand Dune, and he couldn't help but wonder:

"Teacher, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing."

Yao Lao shook his head, turned his gaze back to the battlefield, stroked his illusory beard, and said leisurely, "Yes, this battlefield looks huge, but it is actually just a smoke. The only purpose is to make Medusa relax his vigilance, so that Yun Yun can succeed in one fell swoop."

"A smoke?"

Xiao Yan looked at the battlefield and was distracted for a while. One Dou Emperor, one Dou Wang, and three Dou Ling, more than four thousand troops - such a huge force is enough to raze the entire Wutan City to the ground!

But here, it's just smoke?

"Why, Little Yanzi, were you scared by the Nalan Family?"

Yao Lao turned around and looked at Xiao Yan with a face full of teasing.

Xiao Yan shook his head, clenched his right hand into a fist, and said, "Although Nalan Family is powerful, isn't Medusa more powerful? Nalan Family not only has to mobilize a large number of people, but also has constant strategies."

He turned his head and looked at Yao Lao, with a determined look on his face, and said seriously, "Teacher, sooner or later I will become Dou Emperor!"

"You're a worthless thing, how can you be my disciple? Dou Emperor is enough?!"

Yao Lao laughed loudly and swayed, turning into a light mist and clinging to Xiao Yan. Then a pair of light wings appeared, and he quietly flew up with Xiao Yan, chasing after Medusa.

"Also, Little Yanzi, let me tell you, your IQ is not that good. Even if you become Dou Emperor, if you are not careful, you will probably be killed."

"Fart, you have a low IQ! I am a genius, I became Dou Zhe at the age of eleven. How could I be stupid?"

The old man and the young man just yelled at each other and flew away into the distance. The strange thing was that their voices could not spread beyond one step, and were absorbed by a layer of invisible energy.

On a Sand Dune farther away, in the direction where Yao Lao once stared, two people, an old man and a young man, were also standing.

The young lady was wearing a purple skirt. She looked at Xiao Yan's retreating figure in the distance. She was not surprised at all that Xiao Yan could fly. She just murmured:

"Xiao Yan Gege, do you want Azure Lotus Core Flame? That's right, Xiao Yan Gege is now Alchemist, how can you not have Exotic Flame?"

Thinking of this, the girl laughed softly, calmly and elegantly, like a green lotus blooming in the rolling desert, isolated from the world.
