You Can't Threaten Me—I Listen to Him!

The reason Yun Yun had spoken so harshly was because Xiao Chuan had taught her to. As for whether it would work, she had no idea.

Xiao Chuan's goal was simple. By dragging so many people into this, he wanted to tell Queen Medusa that her time was running out.

Either refine it on the spot!

Or wait for the others to arrive and watch the Heavenly Flame get snatched away!

Queen Medusa had finally obtained the Heavenly Flame. How could she possibly give up the chance to refine it?

Therefore, she would definitely choose to begin refining it immediately. As long as she transformed into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python,

those people

would be completely beneath her notice.

Queen Medusa slowly descended from the air, with Yue Mei and the other leaders following closely behind, all of them sensing that something was different about this place.

"This place really is unusual. There must be something underneath!" Yue Mei noticed the difference.

Queen Medusa nodded. "Guard this place. I'll go down and take a look."

"Her Majesty the Queen, how about I go down with you?" Yue Mei asked worriedly.

Queen Medusa shook her head. "You wouldn't be able to do anything down there. Help me guard the surface."

Xiao Chuan nodded.

Then, Queen Medusa found the entrance leading underground. She did not have much time left.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chuan had already infiltrated the herb garden of the Snake-Person Holy City and found the Sand Mandala.

After coming out, he immediately flew back. It did not take him long to return to Shi Mo City.

Just as Xiao Chuan arrived in Shi Mo City, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

Xuan Tier High Grade Dou Technique [Baji Collapse] "Beginner" → Heaven Tier Intermediate Dou Technique [Baji Collapse] "Zhen Ji"!

Xiao Chuan was overjoyed. His Younger Brother really was hardworking!

He had started cultivating Baji Collapse as soon as he broke through to Dou Zhe.

When Yun Yun and Hai Bo Dong saw Xiao Chuan return, they already knew he must have found the Sand Mandala.

Xiao Chuan said urgently, "It may already be too late to refine the pill. Once I deal with the Heavenly Flame, I'll come back and refine it for you."

"What are you going to do?"

Yun Yun stepped forward.

"Queen Medusa can't possibly refine the Green Lotus Core Flame. She only wants to use the Heavenly Flame to complete her evolution." Xiao Chuan formed Dou Qi Wings and flew toward the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Yun Yun immediately followed after him. "I'm going with you."

"Master Xiao is incredible. He even managed to win over the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect." Hai Bo Dong gave him a thumbs-up.

Before long, Xiao Chuan and Yun Yun appeared above the eight leaders, looking down at them.

This time, all eight leaders of the Snake-Person Tribe had come. The strongest was Mo Ba Si, at the Dou Emperor Peak. The rest were Eight Star and Seven Star Dou Emperors, along with Three to Four Star Dou Kings.

Yue Mei frowned. "Sect Master Yun, Her Majesty the Queen deliberately spared you just now, yet you still dare to return?"

Yun Yun did not actually want to come back, but Xiao Chuan would not listen to her. If Queen Medusa successfully evolved, both she and Xiao Chuan would definitely die here.

"Move aside. Don't force me to act." Xiao Chuan slowly descended from the air and walked step by step toward the entrance to the underground passage.

However, Mo Ba Si and the other leaders all stepped forward to block him. They could not possibly allow Xiao Chuan to go down and interfere with Her Majesty the Queen.

"Sect Master Yun, our Snake-Person Tribe still has Dou Emperor Experts who are rushing here. By then, it will be too late for you to leave." The old man Yin Shi fiercely struck his staff against the ground, making his stance clear.

"Cut the nonsense." Xiao Chuan had no time to waste with them. "Whoever stands in my way will get beaten down!"

"Just a brat!"

Mo Ba Si believed Xiao Chuan was merely borrowing Yun Yun's prestige. If they had not been no match for Yun Yun, they would never have given Xiao Chuan any respect.

"Xi Zhang!"

Xiao Chuan let out a low shout. As he raised his hand, terrifying suction force erupted from his palm, instantly dragging Mo Ba Si over. The latter was completely unable to resist.

The leaders were instantly horrified at the sight. The Youth before them was anything but ordinary!

Xiao Chuan gripped Mo Ba Si tightly by the throat and threatened, "Ignoring my words comes with consequences!"

None of them had expected Xiao Chuan to be so powerful. Even Mo Ba Si, a Dou King Peak expert, was no match for him and could not even last a single exchange.

"Don't worry about me!"

Mo Ba Si was not afraid of death. He would even choose death for the sake of the entire Snake-Person Tribe.

"Looks like you won't move aside until I beat you into submission." Xiao Chuan blasted Mo Ba Si away with the Flame Blowing Palm, then moved at astonishing speed and appeared before Yin Shi, the Eight Star Dou Emperor.

"Baji Collapse!"

Xiao Chuan did not use his full strength, so this punch would not take Yin Shi's life. It merely knocked him unconscious.

Seeing this, Yue Mei and the other leaders had no choice but to attack together. But before a Dou Emperor, they were simply too weak.

Xiao Chuan did not even use a Dou Technique. Pure Dou Qi alone was enough to send them sprawling.

His movements flowed as smoothly as water, and his realm was right there for all to see. How could they possibly be his match?

Yue Mei was blasted away by Xiao Chuan's punch. She spat out blood, her face deathly pale, yet she still did not want to let Xiao Chuan enter.

Since when had the Jia Ma Empire possessed such a young Dou Emperor?

"Sect Master Yun, our Snake-Person Tribe does not wish to become enemies with the Misty Cloud Sect. Otherwise, Her Majesty the Queen would not have spared you earlier."

Yue Mei tried to stall for time. "If anything happens to Her Majesty the Queen, then from now on, the Snake-Person Tribe and the Misty Cloud Sect will be mortal enemies! You'd better think this through!"

However, Yue Mei's threat was completely useless against Yun Yun. "You can't threaten me. I listen to him."

Upon hearing that, Yue Mei's jaw dropped in disbelief. The Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect actually listened to a Youth?

Was that even right?!

Sure, the Youth was handsome, but he was also a Dou Emperor...

Yue Mei suddenly felt that Yun Yun had made the right choice. Xiao Chuan was not only good-looking, but his cultivation was also high. If it were her, she would listen to Xiao Chuan too.

"I'll leave this woman to you. I'm going in." Xiao Chuan did not want to waste any more time on Yue Mei. Yun Yun alone was enough to handle her.

After entering the underground world, he followed the route onward and soon saw the lava within.

Xiao Chuan flew straight toward the other side of the lava. However, halfway across, the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake hidden beneath the ground tried to ambush him.

He had expected this all along.

The moment the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake emerged from the lava, Xiao Chuan rapidly dropped down and slammed [Baji Collapse] viciously into its head.

Almost instantly, the Double-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's head exploded, and its uncontrolled body slowly sank into the lava.

Accelerating forward, Xiao Chuan soon arrived at the Green Lotus Core Flame's location. Queen Medusa was nowhere to be seen.

"Did she succeed or fail?" Xiao Chuan walked up to the Green Lotus Core Flame and looked down, discovering a Little Seven-Colored Snake.

Since Queen Medusa had not emerged from underground for so long, he believed she must have successfully evolved.

Xiao Chuan watched the Little Seven-Colored Snake cautiously wriggle over, then gently cupped it in his palm. "Looks like pressure was pretty useful to you. It let you evolve successfully on your first try."

Although Queen Medusa had evolved successfully, she had not yet fused with the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Therefore, Queen Medusa was not the one controlling this body yet.

Xiao Chuan deliberately leaned close to the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and teased, "Queen Medusa, if you don't wake up soon, I can only eat you!"
