Medusa, the Unremarkable Queen? For These Perks, I'd Even Call Him Godfather

Soul Hall, Zhang Yuan?

Could it be that Zhang Yuan is actually a member of the Soul Hall?

"You are Zhang Yuan!!!"

Xie Biyan's eyes widened in fury as he finally understood something.

Clearly, the Nine Abyss Mansion is also a faction of the Soul Hall, but it pretends to be hostile in front of outsiders.

The battle at the Misty Cloud Sect was a show put on by the Nine Abyss Mansion and Soul Hall. It was Zhang Yuan putting on a show for the world, subduing the entire Jia Ma Empire without bloodshed.

No wonder, the Soul Hall helped Yun Shan break through, and Zhang Yuan helped the Snake People tribe Queen Medusa and the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast of the Jia Ma Empire Royal Family break through, and as a result, the three forces were as close as family, without any barriers.

They are all one family; they're just putting on an act for outsiders to facilitate the consolidation of their internal power.

At the same time, it sends the wrong signal to these people, making them fear the Nine Abyss Mansion and act accordingly.

My encounter with "Protector Ying" at the Soul Hall branch that day was not a coincidence at all; it was intentional on his part.

Zhang Yuan had anticipated that they would come to the Soul Hall seeking help, so he deliberately set a trap to harm them and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But why? You're so strong, it's not like we can't join the Soul Hall!

"Zhang Yuan, we have no past grievances or present enmity, why have you plotted against me like this?" Xie Biyan said angrily.

This gives him no chance to live at all; you could have simply offered to recruit him.

With so many people behind you, how could I dare say "no"?

"No past grievances?" A sharp glint appeared in Zhang Yuan's eyes. "You're quite mistaken. My maternal grandfather died because of the Chuyun Empire. Although you didn't personally kill him, he died from the poison you concocted."

"Leaving aside the fact that your Chuyun Empire harbored wolfish ambitions and invaded the Jia Ma Empire, it was a war between nations, so there's nothing to argue about. At the time, we were on opposing sides, which is why you and I have a blood feud for killing my maternal grandfather."

Because of his mother, he also carries the blood of the Xiao Clan.

"."

Xie Biyan was speechless.

Indeed, the Chuyun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire are hostile to each other, and their leaders wish they could wipe out the other side. His words were somewhat foolish.

"But you are Soul Hall Protector!" Xie Biyan said, trembling. "For your own selfish gain, you've gone to such lengths to scheme against me. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by those above?"

"If you stop now, I am willing to forsake my interests and beg for mercy, and submit to the Soul Hall."

Zhang Yuan:?

He didn't quite understand what Xie Biyan was saying.

He did indeed scheme against Xie Biyan, but why should he fear being held accountable by the Soul Hall?

Oh, right, this guy said he's Soul Hall Protector.

"Pfft, hahaha!" Zhang Yuan himself couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Medusa blinked her beautiful eyes.

"I was just joking with him, but he actually took me for Soul Hall Protector." Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong and the others couldn't help but chuckle after thinking about it.

When Xie Biyan heard Zhang Yuan's words, his expression froze.

Immediately, his face turned bright red as he realized he had been tricked; the "Protector Ying" was not the Protector Ying at all, but Zhang Yuan in disguise.

The Nine Abyss Mansion was indeed opposed to the Soul Hall. All the Soul Hall Protector were killed by Zhang Yuan. The "Protector Ying" he saw was Zhang Yuan in disguise.

He'd been lured into a trap!

But how could this be? How could his laughter sound so perfect!

"Enough with the nonsense, let's take them all down, and try to capture them alive." Zhang Yuan flicked his fingers, and his sword flew out.

Xie Biyan's soul contains the hidden hand he left behind; before him, they are nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

This time, he gathered the Mulan Three Elders and Yan Luotian and others through Xie Biyan, intending to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Just now, the four guardians of the Soul Hall — the Protector Ying was controlled by him, while the Protector Tie and the Protector Wu were controlled by Little Yan and Old Yao respectively—released very real killing intent, yet they didn't make Xie Biyan and the others feel that there was anything wrong.

Protector Tie still barely retained the strength of One-star Dou Zong, which he gave to Little Yan as one of his trump cards.

He gave the Protector Wu to Xiao Yu, making it one of the latter's trump cards.

Although he possessed the supernatural power of "Soul Attachment," it was not advisable to use multiple things at once, as it would easily expose his true abilities. Therefore, he temporarily only Control realm the puppet Protector Ying.

With a sudden attack, two of the Mulan Three Elders were killed, and Yan Luotian was no Old Yao. He was directly ambushed and seriously injured. Now only some Dou Emperor and the Seventh-Rank Magical Beast Green Winged Silver Eyed Python from the Beast Savage Sect remain.

"Boom!"

Medusa, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon, Yun Shan, and others made a fierce move.

Faced with these Dou Zong, the ordinary Dou Emperor were naturally no match and were quickly defeated.

The Old Yao also attacked the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python, unleashing a burst of Bone Spirit Cold Flame that swept across the sky.

"I am from the Beast Savage Sect. Are you sure you want a fight to the death?" The Green Winged Silver Eyed Python fought and retreated, searching for a way out.

If the four guardians of the Soul Hall were on their side, they could put up a fight against Zhang Yuan and his group.

But now that the four members of the Soul Hall have suddenly become the enemy's people, with the balance of power shifting, they are no match for them at all.

"Is the Beast Savage Sect very strong?" Old Yao asked indifferently. "Do they have Peak Dou Zong, or more than ten Dou Zong?"

The Azure-Winged Python fell silent, its heart heavy with apprehension.

The strongest member of the Beast Savage Sect is its sect leader, who possesses the Seven-Star Dou Zong realm and has a history of killing powerful individuals of the same realm. He has earned a certain reputation in the Northwest Continent.

Below the sect leader are three Three-Star Dou Zong elders who have mastered the Three-Beast Desolate Art. Together, they can contend with ordinary Six-Star Dou Zong. The Mulan Three Elders are disciples of these three.

After these three elders comes his Green Winged Silver Eyed Python, a Low-Level Seventh-Rank Magical Beast, but he just had a brief encounter with Four-Star Dou Zong.

With such strength, they could rank among the top twenty forces in the Northwest Continent, placing them in the first tier, excluding the top forces with Dou Zun in charge.

However, given the power that Nine Abyss Mansion is currently displaying, doubling the power might be able to withstand some of it.

"The Mulan Three Elders have stubbornly provoked this war. I can hand them over to you and offer them a Seventh-grade Transformation Pill as a token of my gratitude," said the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python. "Otherwise, I will immediately self-destruct, and you will not escape unscathed."

Faced with both immense benefits and a threat, the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python believed Zhang Yuan would make the right decision.

"Self-destruct?"

Zhang Yuan had already reached Xie Biyan and exchanged a palm strike with him.

Xie Biyan hardened his heart, wondering if he should fight to the death and turn all the poison in his body into a fatal blow.

If Zhang Yuan doesn't give him a way out, he'll make sure the other party pays a heavy price, even if it means his own death; ideally, they'll both perish.

But the moment his palm touched her, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and his consciousness began to fade.

"Soul Power."

Xie Biyan was Dou Zong). He felt his soul shattering and his Control realm over his body rapidly declining.

He wanted to unleash Poison Dou Qi within his body to use his trump card, but he found that his Control realm was becoming increasingly weak, and he could only mobilize a tiny fraction of the Poison Dou Qi.

This amount of power was like a child's tickle compared to the Six Dragon Thunder Heavely Flame surrounding Zhang Yuan.

"No, I am willing."

Xie Biyan wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a pulling sensation within his body. The connection between his body and soul was completely severed, and a scorching heat enveloped his soul, taking him into a new world.

"The Profound Yellow Heaven and Earth, Refine!"

Zhang Yuan's voice containing supreme pressure sounded in the mysterious world.

Yellow flames came from all directions, burning and refining Xie Biyan's soul and extracting its memories.

Zhang Yuan didn't rush to absorb it. Instead, he casually waved his hand, taking Xie Biyan's body into the Ancient Void Realm. Then, he looked at the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python and said calmly, "What did you just say?"

The Dou Emperor of the Luoyan Sect was forcefully killed by Yun Shan.

Medusa is ruthless. She first killed two of the injured Mulan Three Elders, and is now chasing the last one. The last one is in grave danger, unable to use his Dou Qi Wings properly, and is likely to die soon.

The several Dou Emperor brought by Xie Biyan fled immediately, but one was caught and killed by the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast. The others crashed into a spatial barrier and were stopped, indicating that the place had been sealed off by a spatial barrier.

Green Winged Silver Eyed Python: "."

Escape? Escape is definitely out of the question.

In terms of combat, it is no match at all.

"I said, I can pledge allegiance to the Nine Abyss Mansion!" The Green Winged Silver Eyed Python revealed a fawning smile, making a very wise decision.

Of course, it could also be a delaying tactic, hoping to return to the Beast Savage Sect and then turn against them.

If it were any other magical beast, Zhang Yuan would choose to kill it at all costs, since its entire body is a treasure.

You can keep the Magic Core yourself, store up the monster meat to eat to increase everyone's physical strength and blood, and even use it for alchemy. You can also use the hides and scales to forge weapons. In short, it has many uses.

But it's a snake; killing it directly would be a waste.

"Words are no proof," Zhang Yuan said, narrowing his eyes. "If you betray me later, there's nothing I can do."

"I can implant Soul Imprint in you," the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python said immediately, a hint of smugness flashing deep in its eyes.

No one knows that it possesses a special Bloodline Talent that can cleanse others or itself of all negative states, whether it be poison, seals, or influences on the soul.

Back then, the Beast Savage Sect set up a blood sacrifice in his Magic Core in order to Control realm him, but he has already eliminated it. He has not left because he benefits from the Beast Savage Sect.

It wasn't afraid of Zhang Yuan branding his Soul Imprint it. If its own Bloodline Talent couldn't solve the problem, it would only mean that this new master was more powerful than the Beast Savage Sect. So it would switch sides without hesitation.

"Interesting.."

The Green Winged Silver Eyed Python's decisive decision made Zhang Yuan sense something unusual.

One second they were saying they were going to self-destruct, and now they're backing down smoothly. There's definitely something wrong with them.

But it didn't matter; he had no intention of leaving Soul Imprint.

"I'll seal your power first, you don't have any objections, do you?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"No, of course not." The Green Winged Silver Eyed Python shook its head, but these were all minor issues that could be resolved using its Bloodline Talent.

Medusa!

Zhang Yuan shouted into the distance.

Having dispatched the last of the Mulan Three Elders with a single sword strike, Medusa, feeling extremely relieved, turned and stepped forward to Zhang Yuan's side. A gentle smile, unlike anything she had ever shown before, appeared on her cool and beautiful face. "Is there something you need?"

Zhang Yuan was the man who allowed her to easily eliminate the Mulan Three Elders, avenging countless members of the Snake People tribe.

Even without the Mulan Three Elders, as long as other surrounding forces don't interfere, the Snake People tribe could easily fight back on their own, not to mention that the Nine Abyss Mansion is Medusa's reliance.

This man impressed her in every way.

"Seal its power."

Zhang Yuan pointed to the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python.

Medusa did not hesitate at all, and with her hands forming a hand seal, she shot out a beam of seven-colored light.

This is an upgraded version of the Snake Seal, with Seven-Colored Snake Pattern. As long as the opponent is not stronger than her, even bloodline power can be sealed.

The Green Winged Silver Eyed Python offered no resistance, allowing Queen Medusa to seal it away.

But when a Seven-Colored Snake Pattern appeared between his brows, he felt that he had lost his connection with the Magic Core, and a certain power within his bloodline also subsided.

Green Winged Silver Eyed Python:?

"I need to trouble you with something else." Zhang Yuan leaned close to Medusa's ear, using his Soul Power to prevent others from eavesdropping, and said, "I suspect this snake has a way to break free of the seal, so I'd like you to stay in the Ancient Void Realm for a while."

"Have Qing Lin use the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control him, and only come out after you've made sure he's alright, okay?"

Zhang Yuan's breath brushed against Medusa's ear, making her feel uneasy. Her cold blood seemed to gain an unusual temperature, spreading into a feverish heat.

"It must be Little Cai influencing me. I will definitely expel you from this body."

"And this requires Zhang Yuan's help."

A competitive spirit stirred within her. Medusa, breathtakingly beautiful, remained composed, her expression unchanged. She nodded slightly and said, "Alright, but what about the Eastern Territory?"

"Don't worry, leave that to me." Zhang Yuan revealed a confident smile, "I will have Elder Ling and Yin Ming work together to destroy Mulan Valley and the Mulan Empire, then return your clan's former territory, and perhaps even add a little more."

"By the way, I've decided to develop the location of the Snake-People Holy City in the Tagor Desert into the temporary main residence of the Nine Abyss Mansion. I'll also provide regional compensation to the Snake People tribe, and make sure all your Snake People tribe leaders become Dou Emperor. What do you think?"

Medusa couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

She is currently Dou Zong, and her Bloodline Talent has evolved into the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, so becoming Dou Zun in the future is not difficult.

Under her influence, the four elders of the Snake People tribe could become Peak Dou Emperor within a few years.

If the clan were to gain eight more Dou Emperor at this point, and also reclaim the ancestral lands within the Mulan Empire, they would surely take off.

The Tagor Desert has a hot climate, with earth and fire elements dominating, making it unsuitable for the cold-blooded Snake People tribe. This is one of the reasons why she was implanted with the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake as her companion soul, to facilitate her growth.

Even if Zhang Yuan hadn't mentioned it, the Snake People tribe would have withdrawn from the Tagor Desert. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan actually wanted it and even compensated her.

This man is so good to her, could he have some ulterior motive?

Thinking of the three women in the Ancient Void Realm who were no less capable than her, she felt it was possible.

She might find it narcissistic if there was only one, but three shows that Zhang Yuan was not the kind of man who would only be devoted to one woman.

Her Snake People tribe values strength above all else, so they don't care about these things, as long as their spouse...

In a split second, Medusa thought of many things, but she decisively nodded and said, "Okay, deal."

Zhang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and sent Medusa and the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python to the top of the Gravity Peak in the Inner Realm.

"Hmm?" Sensing the change in its surroundings, the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python was slightly taken aback.

Seeing the countless clouds formed from Dragon Qi that were visible to the naked eye not far away, his eyes burned with passion and his breathing became rapid.

With so much Dragon Qi, he could even attempt to transform into a dragon and evolve his bloodline; if successful, he would possess the potential to become Dou Zun).

What an amazing place this is!

Does Zhang Yuan intend to give him these benefits after accepting him as a disciple?

If it had known there were such benefits, it would have knelt down and called him godfather.

Just then, Zhang Yuan arrived in front of the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python with a girl dressed in a green dress.

"Qing Lin, let's begin," Zhang Yuan said softly.

He had already explained the situation to Qing Lin beforehand.

"Yes, my lord."

Qing Lin stared at the silver pupils of the Green Winged Silver Eyed Python.

Green Winged Silver Eyed Python:?

Green Winged Silver Eyed Python:!

Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!?
