Strategic Cooperation

Other cultivation methods might not be able to achieve this, but Xiao Tian's cultivation method is one that no longer belongs to this world.

With the support of Xiao Tian's Dou Qi, the eerie light emitted from Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils intensified once more, gradually separating into small flower marks that were engraved on Bai Ya's serpent head.

"Impossible! I'm Sixth Order Magical Beast! Aaaaaah!"

As the sounds of Bai Ya struggling faded, it finally stood there, motionless.

When Bai Ya opened his eyes again, the ferocity in his gaze towards Qing Lin had vanished, replaced by a gentle docility.

Xiao Tian stopped channeling his Dou Qi, and Qing Lin's body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

Xiao Tian quickly caught the unconscious Qing Lin and fed her the pill.

"Sister Qing Lin, what's wrong?" Xiao Yi Xian came to Xiao Tian's side, looking at Qing Lin whom Xiao Tian was holding in his arms, her eyes filled with worry.

"I just checked, and there's nothing wrong. She just fainted from exhaustion, but she'll wake up in a bit."

Xiao Tian briefly explained Qing Lin's problem, indicating that Xiao Yi Xian didn't need to worry.

After hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xiao Yi Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in her eyes disappeared.

About a minute later, Qing Lin slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Young Master, I succeeded. I did not disappoint you."

"I always believed that Qing Lin could do it, and you did it perfectly. Young Master is proud of you."

Xiao Tian praised Qing Lin directly, saying that it undoubtedly took a great deal of courage for a Dou Zhe to attempt to enslave a Sixth Order Magical Beast.

Hehe~

Qing Lin nestled in Xiao Tian, giggling incessantly.

Xiao Tian also gave Qing Lin a doting look. After all, she was his personal maid, and he had to continue spoiling her even if she was laughing like a fool.

"Young master, please put me down. I've recovered."

Qing Lin looked up and said.

Xiao Tian gently put Qing Lin Qing Lin down.

"Young Master, could you please give Qing Lin some medicine to help him recover from his injuries?"

Qing Lin pleaded with Xiao Heavenly Dao.

Xiao Tian understood Qing Lin's meaning, and a bottle of pills immediately appeared in his hand.

"This is Fourth Grade Pill, the Recovery Pill. Give it to him, and he will recover."

"Thank you, young master!" Qing Lin cheered, clinging to Xiao Tian's arm.

"Come over."

Qing Lin released his grip and shouted at the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

Bai Ya swam over, its massive body wriggling.

Qing Lin looked at the enormous serpent.

"Could you shrink a little? You look terrifying."

Bai Ya shrunk its body to two meters in length, and its wings disappeared. It coiled up, looking just like a king cobra in the real world.

Qing Lin opened the Jade Bottle and poured out the pills inside.

Bai Ya obediently opened its mouth, and Qing Lin threw the pill directly into Bai Ya's mouth.

The wounds on the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's body gradually healed, and the broken serpent scales began to fall off, with new serpent scales growing in their place.

Qing Lin looked at the recovered Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor and directly put it into the Pupil Space.

Qing Lin thought to herself: I heard its voice was male before, so I can't let it get into my sleeve and coil up in my hand. The Fire Spirit Snake Fire Spirit Snake is different; it's female. I belong only to the young master, and I can't let any other male thing touch me.

"Hehe, young master, I'm done." Qing Lin skipped back to Xiao Tian's side.

Xiao Tian smiled and nodded.

"Old Wen, wake her up."

Wen Yan placed her finger on Lu Man's neck.

"Where am I? Am I dead?" Lu Man Barbarian asked weakly, opening his eyes groggily.

He shifted his body, and a sharp pain shot through him. "Ouch, that hurts! Am I not dead? Bai Ya, where are you?"

"You should worry about yourself first. You're still alive for now, but I can't guarantee what will happen to you later."

Xiao Tian's voice drew Lu Man Barbarian's attention. Although the speaker sounded very young, Green Barbarian looked up at the five black-robed men standing not far away. There was even a Dou Emperor among them, but the group was led by the young man who had spoken.

Seeing that the opposing team had more people, Lu Man Barbarian felt a wave of despair and stopped struggling, lying on the ground in despair.

"Kill me or torture me, do as you please, I can't escape anyway."

"I can give you a chance to live, but whether you live or not is up to you."

Xiao Tian stood in front of Lu Man. Xiao Tian didn't really want to kill her, because in the original world, regardless of her motives, she had treated Qing Lin quite well.

"If you want to recruit me as your subordinate, I advise you to just kill me. I can only ever belong to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

Lu Man closed her eyes, fell silent, and quietly awaited death, but her trembling eyelashes revealed that she was not so calm in the face of death.

"You're quite good, I admire you. I can let you go, but you have to do one thing for me, and you won't harm your Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

Tell me what it is.

Lu Man opened his eyes again and asked. Upon learning that he wouldn't die and wouldn't harm his forces, Lu Man was finally moved.

"My forces are to be established in the Black-Corner Region. I require your Heavenly Serpent Mansion to provide us with internal information on other forces within the Black-Corner Region."

After listening to Xiao Tian's words, Lu Man's eyes flickered as she considered the condition.

"I can agree to that, but I won't give you the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

"That's certainly possible, but to ensure safety, I need to place a mark on your soul. If you fail to do this, I will detonate the mark, but if you do, I will remove it for you."

"Um."

Lu Man had no objections, because his life was now in the hands of this group of people, who could kill him at any moment. This condition was not unacceptable; at least he could live.

Xiao Tian used his Soul Power to envelop a wisp of Heavenly Flames and Spirit Thunder, which entered Lu Man Sea of Consciousness consciousness and soul, leaving a mark on her soul before gradually disappearing.

Xiao Tian's mark can only be found by those with Soul Power at the Spirit Realm or higher.

"Don't even think about finding someone to remove this mark for you, because it will instantly explode if any external force touches it."

Xiao Tian said indifferently, "The target this time was originally the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor. As for Lu Man, he is not important. However, obtaining some internal information about the Black-Corner Region is crucial for the development of the Free and Unfettered Hall."

"You can go now. Someone will contact you later. Get ready. Also, you should know what to say about the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor."

"I know."

Although Lu Man was curious about what had happened to Bai Ya, she didn't ask too many questions. From Xiao Tian's words, she could roughly guess that Bai Ya was probably not dead.

Wen Yan released the restraints, Lu Man stood up, took out Healing Pills from her Storage Ring and swallowed it. Then she bowed to Xiao Tian and the others, summoned her wings, and flew away at top speed, as if some ferocious beast was following behind her.

After watching Xiao Tian finish handling everything, Wen Yan came to Xiao Tian's side.

"Hall Master, shall we go and take a look at the Mo Family Treasure Vault and Scripture Pavilion?"
