Wash Away Our Shame
Looking at their greedy expressions, Hai Bo Dong shook his head helplessly. "Look at your faces, you really are money-grubbers. Also, you'd better keep today's mission to yourselves, especially Old Xie, don't get carried away at Yichun Tower and tell anyone."
Elder Xie, who had been singled out by Hai Bo Dong, looked solemn and said with a serious expression:
"Grand Elder, rest assured, my mouth is tighter than a seal. Not a single word of what happened today will leak out. Don't worry, the Hall Master is so good to everyone; if anyone leaks anything, I, Old Xie, will be the first to deal with them!!"
"I second that!!" everyone echoed.
Although the Hall Master rarely appears, he truly enjoys various benefits, which even top-tier forces might not be able to match.
A day later, after Xun'er returned to her clan, Xun'er walked out of the Gu Clan Elder Courtyard with a cold expression.
Inside the Elder Council, there were many figures, their expressions varied, some ashen, some gloating, and some shocked.
One of the elders, his face ashen, glanced at the black-robed, white-haired elder not far away and said, "Are we just going to let this go like this? A mere remnant of a declining race dares to trample on the face of our Black Annihilation Army?"
"Waste blood? He managed to reach his current Dou Qi level with such blood. According to the information provided by Gu Qing, he's at least Two-Revolutions Dou Zun, or even higher. What about those outstanding juniors you speak of, who, despite their bloodline advantages, are still so far behind others? Besides Xun'er, can you find anyone in the clan who can compare to him?"
Opposite the old man, an Elder in blue robes who seemed to be at odds with the newcomer questioned him.
"Perhaps it's just good luck that he received some Strongman's Remnant Dou Qi Infusion, and without the power of bloodline, whether he can become Become Saint is another matter entirely."
The old man pursed his lips and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Then, putting aside Xiao Tian, what about the woman with the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python beside him?"
"Is it possible to Become Saint??? Answer me!!!"
After the Elder in blue finished speaking, he looked directly into the other person's eyes and raised his voice slightly.
Upon hearing the name Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, everyone else fell into deep thought. The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Bloodline was a legendary Top-tier Divine Beast Bloodline, rumored to possess the potential to Become Emperor.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. We were in the wrong first, and you don't want to do anything that could damage our relationship. If this affects Xun'er's bloodline, the Founding Elder will be furious, and you'll be subject to the Clan Rules."
"If there's nothing else, let's call it a day."
An elderly man dressed in a white robe, with white hair and beard, even white eyebrows, spoke softly. As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the old man in the black robe, clearly indicating that he was speaking to him.
After he spoke, the two old men who had been at odds with each other wisely shut their mouths. Although they were all Elder, it was clear that the old man in white robes was of a much higher status than them.
Afterwards, the Gu Clan Elder respectfully bowed slightly and left the main hall one after another.
After the Elder left, only the white-robed old man remained in the main hall. Then, the space distorted, and a figure in a gray robe appeared silently on one of the chairs like a ghost.
The two began to talk, but only a few details of their conversation were known to each other.
However, two pieces of news the following day shocked many members of the Gu Clan.
"Fei Yan, has your Bloodline Power stabilized now?" Xiao Tian looked at Medusa in front of him. Ever since he learned about Medusa's strength after her evolution, Xiao Tian had begun preparing the medicinal materials to be used with the Sacred Liquid.
"Yeah, things have stabilized. I feel fantastic now. You're no match for me now. Shall we have a match tonight?"
Medusa gave Xiao Tianyi provocative look, her alluring face full of confidence. She was now Advanced Half-Saint, incredibly powerful.
After saying that, he turned to Ya Fei and the others. "Do you want to come along and wash away our shame?"
(In the Original Work, Medusa was only a Four-Star Dou Sheng after emerging from seclusion with the help of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, the Nine-Colored Raw Stone, the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, and various other aids from the Heaven Swallowing Python Race. Now, having only absorbed a drop of Pure Essence Blood, it's reasonable for her to Advanced Half-Saint.)
Upon hearing Medusa's words, Ya Fei and the others reflexively moved away from her. They were joking; the last time she was so confident, they trusted her completely, only to find out she was a fraud.
Xiao Tian didn't disturb them, but watched their conversation with amusement. No matter what, he was the biggest beneficiary, so he couldn't just interrupt them.
"No, are you serious about taking a half step back? This time you have to believe me, we can definitely get our revenge." Medusa stared blankly at their perfectly synchronized movements, as if they had rehearsed them many times.
"Seriously, I'm afraid you'll still be just as bad by then, and we'll fall apart." Han Yueya and the others exchanged glances, quickly shook their heads, and took a few steps back.
Medusa was almost made insecure by the actions of the group, but then she remembered who she was—the mighty Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, the only one of its kind on the entire continent.
"I am the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, a legendary divine beast with incredibly powerful physical attributes."
After Medusa finished speaking, she patted her bulging chest.
"We even have a white feline mythical beast here. Look how pitiful she is, right, Moon?" Xiao Yi Xian patted Han Yue and giggled, "You know how powerful Xiao Tian Dou Technique are so bad, even if we were all tied together, we wouldn't be a match for him."
Han Yue and the others nodded in agreement. Every time Dou Technique, even when they joined forces, they were always taught a lesson and left lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Han Xue and Hu Jia, their faces flushed, hid to the side, listening intently to their conversation, their hearts filled with curiosity.
Medusa also lost some of her confidence because of their words.
Seeing that Medusa seemed to be backing down, Xiao Yi Xian, being her mortal enemy, quickly added insult to injury:
"Fei Yan, what are you afraid of him for? I believe you can take him down by yourself. You are the invincible Queen Medusa, feared by all. How can you back down? Xiao Tian only Three-Revolutions Dou Zun, and he just broke through not long ago. You can definitely do it."
"That's right, Qing Lin is on your side this time too."
"..."
Han Yue and her group are just talking without understanding the situation, constantly stirring up trouble for Medusa.
As several people took turns greeting her, Medusa revealed the same expression as Wang Yousheng from the Bright Sword " meme.
She glanced at the sky, then went straight to Xiao Tian and grabbed him, saying, "Elbow, come with me to the ' Training Field ' for a Dou Technique. Today I'll show the sisters my strength."
After saying that, she picked up Xiao Tian and left. Xiao Tian did not resist and let her carry him.
Seeing Xiao Tianyi's wicked grin, the group knew that Medusa was in for trouble tonight.
