Backstab

The Great Elder glared at Yao Ming, but his voice remained calm as he said, "Elders, you cannot rely on only one side of the story. You should all know how the Nine Netherworld Python Clan has fared under the leadership of Clan Chief Xiaotian these past years."

"Even if this Yao Ming is the former clan leader, he is still just the former. If he is willing to hand over the Nine Netherworld Staff, then the Nine Netherworld Python Clan will have a place for him in the future."

Times have changed, and he and Yao Xiaotian have controlled the Nine Netherworld Python Clan for hundreds of years.

For Yao Ming he could regain the position of clan leader simply by opening his mouth and saying something like that is utterly delusional.

Sure enough, some elders who had benefited greatly spoke up to persuade Yao Ming: "The Great Elder's words make perfect sense. Former Clan Chief Yao Ming, why don't you hand over the Nine Netherworld Staff to Clan Chief Xiao Tian?"

Seeing the elders who were expressing their interest, Xiao Yan realized that these people were Yao Xiaotian's confidants.

When Qing Lin needs to be controlled, having Yao Xiaotian step in will make things go more smoothly.

Following closely behind, the three elders previously pointed out by Yao Ming spoke almost simultaneously, "Whoever holds the Nine Nether Scepter is the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. This is an ironclad rule passed down through generations! How can we shake the long-standing rules of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan for a few small benefits?"

"Yao Xiaotian has indeed done a good job, but that doesn't directly negate Yao Ming's abilities. If Yao Ming had been in charge all these years, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan might have fared even better."

"Moreover, making Yao Xiaotian the clan leader was merely a temporary measure. All the elders had agreed that if Clan Leader Yao Ming were to appear, the position would be returned to him."

The three elders were highly experienced and certainly not to be underestimated; they had already guessed some of the truth behind the matter.

"The three elders are right." Among these elders, there were clearly many who supported Yao Ming, so some voices of agreement rang out.

Xiao Yan secretly noted down these people, intending to have Yao Ming deploy them later.

With the support of many, the three elders added, "The Great Elder and Yao Xiaotian have already made mistakes; they shouldn't compound them. Repenting and turning back is the right path."

"You damned brat, what do you know!"

Upon hearing these words, the Great Elder's expression suddenly turned cold. He exchanged a glance with Yao Xiaotian and took the lead in flying out.

In a flash, the Great Elder appeared even faster in front of Yao Ming, unleashing a terrifying gust of wind that ruthlessly struck the latter backward.

At this point, only by eliminating the extremely unstable factor of the Yao Ming and rendering those who supported Yao Ming helpless will things become much easier.

"Great Elder, I'm here to help you!" Yao Xiaotian shouted, and then took action.

The simultaneous attack of two Dou Sheng was truly awe-inspiring!

However, the next second, something unbelievable happened to all the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

The ruthless Yao Xiaotian launched a sneak attack on the Great Elder Great Elder, piercing through his chest in one fell swoop.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Great Elder's ruthless movements abruptly stopped, and he looked at Yao Xiaotian in disbelief.

"Great Elder, I don't want to make the same mistake again." Yao Xiaotian looked at Yao Ming with shame, knocked the Great Elder unconscious with a palm strike, and knelt down in front of Yao Ming, showing that he had realized his mistake and was completely at Yao Ming's mercy.

A group of elders of similar seniority quickly stepped forward and respectfully addressed Yao Ming, saying, "Congratulations to Yao Ming on his return to the throne! We will follow you to the death!"

"The chief culprit, the Great Elder, has been subdued. The rest of you should remember this lesson and dedicate yourselves to serving the Nine Netherworld Python Clan in the future." Yao Ming waved the Nine Netherworld Staff in his hand, pardoning the crimes of Yao Xiaotian and his confidants.

Although he once wanted to eliminate Yao Xiaotian and his Yao Xiaotian after seizing power, this idea is now impossible to realize now that he has the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which can restrain the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

Upon hearing this, the elders quickly and respectfully agreed.

After Yao Ming regained his position as clan leader, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin entered the Nine Netherworld Python Clan openly.

After having a place to live, Xiao Yan used the Proto-Emperor Flame to burn away part of the Great Elder's ancient bloodline essence, allowing Qing Lin to control him using the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

After being controlled by the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the Great Elder, with his intelligence, quickly understood everything.

It turns out that Yao Xiaotian had already been controlled, which is why he launched the sneak attack.

Although the Great Elder had many schemes, once he was controlled by the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, he was unable to pull off any more tricks.

After taking control of the Great Elder at the Dou Sheng level, Xiao Yan immediately began to have Yao Xiaotian lead his trusted elders to gradually pay homage to Yao Ming.

During this process, Qing Lin would use the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control these powerful elders one by one.

With four Dou Sheng —Xiao Yan, Yao Ming, Yao Xiaotian, and the Great Elder —by their side, the elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, though powerful, had no chance of resisting.

After Qing Lin took control of the elders of Yao Xiaotian's faction, Yao Ming personally summoned his supporters.

Although this approach wasn't exactly ethical, under the control of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, he had no choice.

Illuminated by the light of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the elders who had spoken up to support Yao Ming at the crucial moment all revealed incredulous looks.

However, the elders who were being controlled soon showed a submissive expression towards Qing Lin.

After taking control of the elders, Qing Lin then took control of the powerful Nether Serpent Guards, followed by the formidable experts of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

With Yao Ming and others as inside agents, Qing Lin controlled the situation with great ease, and in a short time, he gained control of the elite experts within the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

After taking control, Qing Lin collected all the powerful individuals into the Three-Colored Jade Snake Eyes Space and began to cultivate and break through using their energy.

Although the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils cannot absorb all the energy of so many powerful individuals at once, only a small portion, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's advantage lies in its sheer numbers.

Even if each Nine Netherworld Python Clan expert only supplies a small portion of the energy, it would still be of great benefit to Qing Lin.

Not to mention, Yao Ming, Yao Xiaotian, and the Great Elder are all Dou Sheng level experts. Not only is their energy of great benefit to Qing Lin, but their experience in breaking through to Dou Sheng can also save Qing Lin a lot of effort in his cultivation.
