The Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong, also assumed an attacking stance, as though he would strike at once and kill Queen Medusa if any danger arose.

Medusa smiled calmly. "There is no need to panic. This King merely thought of something interesting. Follow me."

With that, Queen Medusa turned around, her alluring figure transforming into a ball of red light that vanished into the night.

The Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong, spoke up. "Kid, Queen Medusa is cruel by nature. Countless Human Experts have died by her hand. You should be careful to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Relax. She would not dare play tricks on me. Let us go."

As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he vanished out of thin air. Even Hai Bodong could no longer sense any trace of his Aura, which left him deeply shaken. After cultivating for decades, his cultivation was actually inferior to that of a mere Confucian Sage. It was truly inconceivable.

Snake People Tribe.

Having received the news, the Eight Great Leaders appeared here almost simultaneously. When they saw the human beside their Queen, they gritted their teeth in fury.

They naturally recognized this man. Eight years ago, he had broken into the Snake People Sacred Pool, peeped at the Queen while she bathed, severely wounded the Eight Great Leaders, and shattered the Snake People Tribe's combined technique, the Five Snake Poisonous Seal!

"Kid, you actually dared to return to the Snake People Tribe. You have quite the nerve." The speaker was a seductive woman. Her long hair clung to her snowy white fragrant shoulders, droplets of water beading on her delicate skin before sliding down her shoulders and over her enticing slender waist.

She was Yue Mei, one of Medusa's subordinates and one of the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake People Tribe, possessing a bewitching figure and seductive features.

Yue Mei curled her lips into a smile. "Queen, we are here~"

Queen Medusa nodded, but she did not have the Eight Great Leaders join her in confronting Jiang Cheng, because he had just claimed that he had reached the Dou Saint realm.

Though she did not know whether it was true, she had to be cautious. If he truly was a Dou Saint Expert, offending him would not be a wise decision.

It might even bring about the destruction of the Snake People Tribe.

Mo Bass shrugged. The two heavy blades in his hands had long been thirsting for blood, as though they might taste the other's blood at any moment.

The Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong, arrived shortly afterward and likewise noticed the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake People Tribe gathered together. His expression immediately turned grave. Even a Dou Emperor would find it troublesome to face the Snake People's several leaders combined.

"Queen, are we not making a move?"

Yin Shi Great Elder of the Snake People Tribe strode forward. As an Elder who had lived even longer than Medusa, Yin Shi had assisted two generations of Queen Medusa. His status was exceptionally high, second only to Your Majesty within the tribe, and he was also the most loyal Dou Wang Expert.

Even the Queen sometimes had to consider his views.

"Do not act yet. None of you may attack first either. Whoever disobeys This King's command will be executed without mercy!"

Yin Shi Great Elder narrowed his eyes, but he still respected Your Majesty's decision. He stood quietly in place, watching the Human Expert before him.

The scene of Jiang Cheng single-handedly defeating all Eight Great Leaders of the Snake People Tribe was still vivid in his mind. Even seeing Jiang Cheng's figure made him feel a trace of fear.

"Now, you can bring out what you promised earlier, can you not?"

Medusa spoke calmly. Clearly, she wanted to obtain the Seventh-grade Transformation Pill and the Dou Ancestor Pill first.

Hai Bodong replied icily, "You want the pills before producing the Heavenly Flames? Is that not a bit excessive?"

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Flames," the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake People Tribe all cast curious looks over, wondering when their Queen had acquired such flames.

The violent energy of Heavenly Flames was far too terrifying. The Snake People Tribe's bloodline was cold in nature, and what they feared most were Heavenly Flames with blazing heat. Was their Queen not afraid of being burned alive by them?

Queen Medusa paid no attention to the others' gazes and continued, "This King does not trust human words. Only after seeing the genuine goods will This King hand the Heavenly Flames over to you."

"Besides, with your strength, I presume you are not afraid that This King will go back on her word." Medusa smiled sweetly. "What This King cares about more is whether you can produce the pills you promised earlier."

The Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong, wanted to say more, but Jiang Cheng stopped him. He truly was not afraid that Queen Medusa would renege on the deal. Even if she broke her word, he could search her soul and find the location of the Heavenly Flames.

However, Jiang Cheng had no intention of doing that. After all, he and Medusa had met several times, and he had even seen her body. Using the Soul-Searching Technique on her would indeed be somewhat unbecoming of a gentleman.

"Fine. I will give them to you."

Jiang Cheng waved his right hand, and several pills emitting a rich medicinal fragrance suddenly appeared before Queen Medusa. The surrounding Dou Wang Experts were all dumbfounded. If they were not mistaken, these were truly Seventh-grade Transformation Pills!

Everyone swallowed hard. Clearly, they all wanted to experience the taste of a Seventh-grade Transformation Pill.

Seeing Jiang Cheng act so decisively, Queen Medusa no longer delayed. She directly told him the location of the Heavenly Flames. Whether he could obtain them would depend on his own strength.

Jiang Cheng naturally did not ask too much about the Green Lotus Core Flame. Instead, he followed Queen Medusa to a special underground world.

This place was located directly beneath the Snake People Palace, and it was covered by a flight-restricting barrier. No one could fly upon arriving here.

Yet Jiang Cheng was unaffected. As a Dou Saint, how could he be stopped by a barrier set by Queen Medusa? How would he deserve the title of Confucian Sage otherwise?!

For other reasons, the Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong, remained above ground, warily watching the movements of the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake People Tribe.

Queen Medusa walked at the front, swaying the slender waist that drove all men mad, along with her hips covered in colorful scales.

"What, are you still looking?" Queen Medusa suddenly stopped and turned her face slightly. "Watch your eyes and your mouth."

"Heh, I merely thought of something. You are overthinking it."

Jiang Cheng walked side by side with Queen Medusa. A faint fragrance of rose petals drifted toward him. Though Queen Medusa had an icy temperament, she cherished her body greatly.

Every day, she soaked her delicate body in special flower petals, allowing that fragrance to remain forever. Even from a hundred meters away, one could smell it.

He took a deep breath, and it refreshed his heart and mind.

Jiang Cheng fanned himself with the Folding Fan in his hand and smiled calmly. "Your Snake People Tribe has remained in the Tagor Desert for a thousand years. Every generation of Medusa wished to enter the Dou Ancestor realm and free the Snake People Tribe from its predicament. And you sought to devour the Heavenly Flames for the sake of the Snake People Tribe, did you not?"

Medusa smiled. "So what if I did? The heights that past generations of Medusa failed to reach, I may not necessarily fail to reach. The Snake People Tribe will witness my determination, and it will also witness everything I have sacrificed for the Snake People Tribe."
