Infiltration
After entering Central Plains, Zi Yan sensed the presence of her clan and went home.
She was already quite strong, so Xiao Yan didn't stop her.
After Zi Yan left, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King continued its journey towards the Beast Domain.
Although the Beast Domain is not as large as the Central Plains, it should not be underestimated. Its overlapping, endless mountain ranges are enough to make people feel the unique and wild atmosphere of the Beast Domain.
Although the Beast Domain is said to have Ten Thousand Mountains, this is a rough number. If you really count them all, the actual number is definitely far greater than that.
These mountain ranges stretch to remote places beyond human reach, and over the years, countless treasures have been left within these endless mountains, waiting for the right person to discover them.
The Nine Netherworld Python Clan Nine Netherworld Python Clan a vast territory, with numerous branches not only on the surface but also deep underground.
That is the true stronghold of the Nine Netherworld Python.
After approaching the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, Xiao Yan did not urge the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King forward, but instead had it land on a mountaintop.
Leaving the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and the Medusa sisters to wait in the mountains, Xiao Yan went straight to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan and soon brought back a Nine Netherworld Python.
This magical beast possesses strength around the Sixth Tier, yet it has no relatives or official positions, making it a carefully chosen one by Xiao Yan.
Qing Lin unleashed the power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and the green light shone upon the Nine Netherworld Python, instantly giving it complete control. Even if the demonic beast were to commit suicide, it would not hesitate in the slightest.
A moment later, Qing Lin quickly learned about the Nine Netherworld Python in the area through the magical beast she controlled. Her emerald pupils flashed, and the huge magical beast shrank at a visible speed, turning into a bracelet that was tied to her hand.
With this magical beast providing constant guidance, once inside the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, one will receive alerts if danger arises.
Xiao Yan raised his hand and fiddled with his Storage Ring, taking out an exquisite jade bottle, pouring out two pills, and giving one to Qing Lin.
"This pill is Disguise Transformation Pill. After taking it, one's appearance can be changed. Unless one is a Dou Zun level expert, it will be difficult to see through our true appearance."
Xiao Yan offered an explanation and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
After consuming the pill, Xiao Yan's tall figure suddenly became blurred, and a dense black light enveloped Xiao Yan entire body.
With a flicker of light, Xiao Yan's figure disappeared, transforming into a large, jet-black python that appeared to be only at the fifth or sixth level of strength.
After consuming the pill, Qing Lin also transformed into a snake-shaped magical beast, smaller than Xiao Yan, but still a colossal creature to humans.
After getting acquainted with each other's new appearances, the two swaggered towards the area of Nine Netherworld Python.
Not long after entering the Nine Netherworld Python area, they were stopped and questioned by a group of Nine Netherworld Python guards.
Qing Lin was already prepared. Based on what he had learned from the Nine Netherworld Python he controlled, he answered fluently, and the two of them easily blended into the group.
After circling around for a while, Xiao Yan had become familiar with the environment and the magical beasts here. He gradually captured some unrelated Nine Netherworld Python and gave them to Qing Lin to control, based on his understanding.
His strength has reached the level of Half-Saint. He can come and go without a trace on the outskirts of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Once he succeeds, Qing Lin will release the controlled demonic beasts back.
Therefore, none of the Nine Netherworld Python noticed anything unusual about their group for the time being.
With the increasing number of magical beasts under his control, Xiao Yan no longer needed to go out. He only needed to let the magical beasts he controlled attract familiar friends and relatives, and Qing Lin could gain a large number of subordinates.
After spending about half a day in that branch, Qing Lin had mastered all the Nine Netherworld Python in that branch.
After gaining a better understanding of the Nine Netherworld Python, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin began to expand outwards from this branch.
Having acquired a certain status and position, Qing Lin controlled a Nine Netherworld Python almost every moment, and the number of its subordinates grew at a terrifying rate.
In just about half a month, Qing Lin had gained almost absolute control over the land area, and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and the Medusa sisters also entered the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.
Things went exceptionally smoothly, but Xiao Yan did not rush into anything. Instead, he had Qing Lin begin to try to store the Nine Netherworld Python into the Three-Colored Jade Snake Eyes Space to enhance its own strength.
This is just a branch of the Nine Netherworld Python; the main base of the Nine Netherworld Python is underground.
The Nine Netherworld Python there are not only powerful, but also possess ancient bloodlines, which gives them the ability to resist the control of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
Moreover, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan is well aware of the impurity of their own bloodline.
According to some of the elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Nine Netherworld Python, if the Nine Netherworld Python Clan continues to develop in its current state, its ancient bloodline will likely be completely depleted in about a hundred years.
At that time, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan will be reduced to a situation similar to that of ordinary magical beasts.
The Nine Netherworld Python Clan has considerable disagreement and strife over this matter, but without the replenishment of ancient bloodlines, and given their current rate of reproduction, that day will inevitably come.
While Qing Lin was absorbing power, Xiao Yan also asked her to send some people to search for traces of Profound Yellow Flame and other Heavenly Flames throughout the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The Nine Netherworld Python are also a race with cold and sinister bloodlines. They are extremely sensitive to Heavenly Flames, and with their large numbers, finding them is much easier than letting him wander around aimlessly.
Absorbing the energy of the Nine Netherworld Python, Qing Lin's strength underwent a qualitative leap in just about a month, making him one of the best among the Dou Zun level.
However, there is still no news regarding the Heavenly Flames.
Xiao Yan was not in a hurry. After Qing Lin's strength had greatly improved, the two headed to the Nine Netherworld Abyss.
The Nine Netherworld Abyss is a major passage into the underground world, occupied by the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.
Therefore, the defenses are quite formidable. However, this formidable defenses are only effective against ordinary experts. With Xiao Yan's current strength, such defenses would be so strong that they wouldn't even be able to detect his presence.
Given the sheer number of Nine Netherworld Python controlled by Qing Lin, there was absolutely no reason for Xiao Yan and his companion to force their way in.
After completing a section of the journey, Qing Lin gained another group of powerful subordinates.
With this group of subordinates guarding the Nine Netherworld Abyss, Xiao Yan and his companion did not get lost, despite the extremely complex terrain of the underground world.
