Jiang Cheng walked step by step into the distance. Each time his foot fell, ripples spread through the void. Once the ripples vanished, his figure had already appeared a hundred meters away, an extremely mysterious sight.

Hai Bodong's mouth twitched as he asked in astonishment, "Kid, did you advance to Dou Zong?"

"Hehe, I'm actually already a Dou Saint."

Yet those words made Hai Bodong laugh. Although he knew Jiang Cheng was extraordinarily talented, breaking through from a nine-star Dou Wang to a Dou Saint in eight years was simply more absurd than killing him.

Seeing that Hai Bodong refused to believe him, Jiang Cheng offered no further explanation. Those who believed would see the truth; those who did not would see a lie. In the end, worldly opinions could not change anything.

The Snake People Tribe was located deep within the Tagor Desert. The temperature here was incredibly high; even Dou Emperor Experts did not wish to remain here for long.

The Snake People Tribe had originally lived in the Monster Mountain Range of the Central Plains. For some unknown reason, they had been exiled to the Tagor Desert of the Jia Ma Empire. Because the Snake People Tribe's bloodline was cold in nature, living in the Tagor Desert was simply torture for them.

By nightfall, Jiang Cheng and Hai Bodong arrived at an oasis. This was also the only oasis to be found in the Tagor Desert. Being able to live here was undoubtedly the happiest thing imaginable.

The moment they entered, a cool breeze washed over them, dispersing all the scorching heat that clung to their bodies.

As Jiang Cheng looked at the Snake People Tribe statues around him, he knew he had arrived near the Snake People Tribe's palace. This was where he had encountered Queen Medusa bathing back then.

At the time, Queen Medusa had charged at him, intending to gouge out his eyes. Even now, the memory still left him shaken.

Hai Bodong swallowed nervously. Having been beaten badly by Queen Medusa in the past, he was still somewhat afraid of her and did not dare provoke her again. "Jiang Cheng, I'll wait for you here."

Seeing Hai Bodong like this, Jiang Cheng did not force him. After giving a slight nod, he gracefully headed toward the Sacred Pool. From the moment he arrived, he had already sensed the aura coming from ahead.

Moonlight cast slanting shadows as Raging flames burned atop the stone pillars surrounding them.

Not only that, but the water in the Sacred Pool began to boil violently as if it had been set ablaze. The powerful shockwave instantly destroyed all the surrounding trees.

The Blood Red tornado suddenly surged from its original height of two meters to a hundred meters tall. Its turbulent energy swept forth as though it could devour heaven and earth at any moment.

Jiang Cheng raised his head with a faint smile, his hands clasped behind his back. "Hello, miss. We meet again."

At some unknown point, a woman of beauty so exquisite it was nearly bewitching had appeared in mid-air.

The woman had a pair of narrow, pale-purple eyes. As her gaze shifted, she exuded a natural allure capable of drawing in nearly every man's eyes.

She wore a regal purple brocade robe. Beneath it, her delicate body was full and shapely, like a ripe peach, radiating a faint charm.

Her long Black Hair draped casually over her fragrant shoulders, hanging straight down to her slender willow-like waist. Beneath the brocade robe, a section of purple Snake Tail was exposed.

Her Snake Tail swayed slightly, its wild and seductive allure inexplicably making one's entire body burn hot.

The newcomer was none other than the Snake People Empress, Medusa!

Medusa frowned slightly as she stared at the young man below. Looking at his attire, then recalling that boy's perfect outline in her mind, she immediately seemed to realize something.

She angrily shouted, "It's you again, you lecher!"

"I have a name. I'm Named Jiang Cheng, not some lecher. Calling me that is truly rather impolite, miss."

Jiang Cheng's fingers were Slightly Moved, tossing the speeding boulders and broken trees aside. "What happened back then was purely a misunderstanding. I never intended to see the Queen's peerlessly beautiful skin, but you insisted on—"

"Shut up!"

Queen Medusa's eyes were filled with ferocity. Even after all these years, she still remembered Jiang Cheng, the lecher who had trespassed into the Snake People Sacred Pool!

Jiang Cheng rubbed his nose. What happened back then had been an accident, yet eight years later, she still remembered it.

As Queen Medusa's slender Jade Finger Slightly Moved, fierce winds erupted from the forest beside Jiang Cheng and blasted toward his back.

Sensing the sudden fierce wind behind him, Jiang Cheng merely extended his right hand calmly. He casually opened his Folding Fan and gave it an Understated wave, dissolving all of Queen Medusa's attacks.

"You're not a Dou Wang?!" Queen Medusa asked, her expression Slightly Moved.

"Eight years passed in an instant. Queen Medusa, what do you think?"

Queen Medusa frowned. As the Snake People Empress, she could also sense that this little fellow's cultivation had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

When Jiang Cheng had still been a Dou Wang, Medusa had already felt that he was no ordinary man. Not a single Dou Wang who had fought her had ever escaped from her hands—except Jiang Cheng.

He had even managed to leave the Tagor Desert without a sound. From that alone, she could tell that he was extraordinarily gifted. If he cannot be used by me, he must be eliminated before he grows stronger!

Jiang Cheng seemed to have guessed what Queen Medusa was thinking and immediately said, "If I were you, I would not do something so foolish that it would lead to the destruction of the Snake People Tribe. As you are now, you are no match for me."

Queen Medusa Gripped her fists tight. Yet it was true that she made no further move. At this moment, she could already sense the violent power Emitting from Jiang Cheng's body. It felt as though, if she attacked, he could destroy her Snake People Tribe at any time.

Presumably, Queen Medusa did not wish for the Snake People Tribe to be destroyed either.

With one hand behind his back, Jiang Cheng said, "I did not come today to avenge your pursuit of me back then."

"Oh?" Queen Medusa raised a brow. "Then why are you here? Since when did the Snake People Tribe become a tourist attraction for you humans, where you can come and go whenever you please?!"

"Hehe, Queen, please calm down."

Jiang Cheng said softly, "I came today because I wish to obtain the Heavenly Flames from the Queen."

The moment those words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze. Blood-red Dou Qi surged endlessly like a roaring river, and leaves that touched the red Dou Qi immediately turned to ash and vanished between heaven and earth.

Jiang Cheng lightly stepped on the ground with his right foot. The bluestone tiles across the entire ground began to crack over a wide area at a visible speed before completely shattering!

The debris it sent flying was everywhere.

Queen Medusa wore a strange expression. "Coming alone would have been one thing, but you even brought that bastard with you. What, do you intend to repeat the mistakes of the past?"

The bastard she spoke of was naturally the Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong!

Hai Bodong hid behind a boulder, looking somewhat embarrassed. It seemed that some of the Dou Qi Queen Medusa had left in his body still remained; otherwise, she would not have discovered his location.

"Hehe, Queen, there is no need to mind him. I merely came to fulfill the agreement I made with Old Hai back then."

PS: The recommendation starts at midnight. I'll begin releasing three chapters a day, so I hope everyone will support me.
