Backstab, Xiao Lin Flees Far Away

"The Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family is finished!"

After seeing the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Xiao Lin already had a conclusion in his mind.

Therefore, after breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong, he did not hesitate at all. He directly enveloped himself with the Heavenly Realm Soul Power and quietly left the Heavenly Water Cold Pool.

In fact, even if Xiao Lin Moving his Heavenly Realm Soul Power, normally the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would have been able to detect it.

However, with so many Dou Zong at the bottom of the Heavenly Water Cold Pool absorbing and refining their energy, and with the other side currently focusing all their attention on the three members of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, they naturally overlooked Xiao Lin.

Therefore, Xiao Lin's departure was completely silent.

The conflict between the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has now completely erupted, and Xiao Lin is ready to take advantage of the chaos.

It remains to be seen whether he can gain the greatest benefit before the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion determine a victor.

After leaving the Heavenly Water Cold Pool, Xiao Lin headed straight for the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace!

Meanwhile, near the Heavenly Water Cold Pool, tensions were already running high between the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

"Former Mansion Lord, it seems you haven't broken through!"

The Heavenly Serpent Emperor looked at the Former Mansion Lord who had appeared with a smile and said...

At this moment, it was clear that the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was in a state of considerable disorder.

Clearly, this behavior only occurs when someone forcibly interrupts one's seclusion.

This is the reason why the Heavenly Serpent Emperor lured so many Dou Zong to the Heavenly Water Cold Pool.

In retrospect, he has achieved his goal perfectly.

"Former Mansion Lord, are you alright?"

The Heavenly Snake Mansion Master, Golden Snake, naturally sensed something was wrong with the Former Mansion Lord and quickly asked.

The Former Mansion Lord simply waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, then turned to look at the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

"Your Heavenly Serpent, is this really necessary?"

The Former Mansion Lord finally spoke for the first time.

"Ha, Former Mansion Lord, you're asking me if it's necessary? What do you think?"

A mocking expression graced the face of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

Looking at the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, whose face was filled with a resolute yet crazed expression, the Former Mansion Lord nodded.

"I see."

These words signified that the Former Mansion Lord had no further intention of saying anything more.

It can be said that it was inevitable that the relationship between the Imperial Family and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would reach this point!

"Then come on, Former Mansion Lord, let me see your strength!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor had already taken to the air.

"Former Mansion Lord, should I go and fight first, while you recuperate?"

"Yes, Former Mansion Lord, your seclusion was forcibly interrupted; you're not in good shape right now."

Before the Former Mansion Lord could say anything, both the Golden Snake and the Wood Snake spoke up.

As for the Earth Snake, it was unclear what it was thinking, but it quietly took a step back and came to stand behind the Former Mansion Lord, the Golden Snake, and the Wood Snake.

"No need, I'm not feeling well!"

Before the Former Mansion Lord could finish speaking, a powerful attack came from behind the three of them.

"Wind Extreme Flash!"

With a low shout, a streak of wind slammed down on the Former Mansion Lord, Golden Snake, and Wood Snake.

As for who launched this attack, it was none other than the Earth Snake, which no one expected!

"Boom"

Although the Former Mansion Lord reacted at the last moment, the Earth Snake's attack still hit all three of them squarely.

Instantly, a bloody wound was left on the back of each of the three people.

The Earth Snake, not greedy for credit, retreated rapidly after its attack without even glancing at the result.

Because the Earth Snake also knew that, as One-Star Dou Zong, even if it ambushed the Former Mansion Lord, the Golden Snake, and the Wood Snake, it would only cause them minor injuries at most.

If he tries to take credit for himself, he'll likely be crushed to dust on the spot by the three who suddenly attack.

At the same time, as the Earth Snake retreated, it directly took out its Storage Ring and drank the half-finished Crimson Flame Immortal Spirit Liquid that it hadn't drunk earlier.

Similarly, the Earth Snake had secretly consumed an extremely cold-attribute Medicinal Pill earlier.

Therefore, not long after he drank the semi-finished Crimson Flame Immortal Spirit Liquid, he broke through to a higher level on the spot.

Furthermore, his strength increased by two stars in one go, reaching the cultivation level of Three-Star Dou Zong!

The finished Crimson Flame Immortal Spirit Liquid Elixir is an enhanced version of Emperor-Rank Pill, capable of raising Dou Zong's cultivation level by one to two stars, and also healing a person's hidden injuries.

Earth Snake was lucky; it only got a two-star upgrade this time.

Just as the Earth Snake was adjusting to its two-star increase in cultivation, the three from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion finally recovered.

"Crunch"

"Earth! Snake! What are you doing?"

The Golden Snake, its fists clenched, glared at the Earth Snake through gritted teeth and asked.

He never imagined that the Earth Snake would choose to betray the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

Although the Wood Snake didn't speak, it stared at the Earth Snake with a similarly gloomy expression.

Only the Former Mansion Lord had an inscrutable expression, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Hahaha, Golden Snake, let me answer you, because Earth Snake has always been a member of my Imperial Family!"

A wild, arrogant laugh came from the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

He had been planning this day for countless years!

When the Earth Snake was very young, the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family secretly plotted to send him to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion as an orphan.

Over the years, it was thanks to the secret support of the Imperial Family that the Earth Snake became one of the Five Serpents of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

This was all for the sake of today's backstabbing attack!

Clearly, the Earth Snake succeeded, and so did the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family's scheme.

It must be said that the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family went to great lengths to prepare for this day.

These are just one contingency plan after another!

However, without such thorough preparation, the Imperial Family wouldn't dare to directly turn against the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, would they?

"That's how it is, Former Mansion Lord, Golden Snake, Wood Snake, I'm truly sorry."

At this moment, the Earth Snake looked at the three people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion with a playful expression and replied.

"Well done, Earth Snake!"

"If we can completely subdue the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in this battle, Earth Snake, you will have made a tremendous contribution!"

At this moment, the Earth Serpent and Yellow Serpent from the Imperial Family side also walked excitedly to the Earth Snake's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"I've accomplished my mission; I can finally go home!"

Having infiltrated the Imperial Family for so long, the Earth Snake is now very happy to be able to return.

Especially after so many years of undercover work, his return now, having rendered great service to the Imperial Family, how could he not be excited?

"You, Earth Snake, very well! Heavenly Serpent, I never expected your Imperial Family to be so ruthless, plotting against my Heavenly Serpent Mansion so long ago!"

As the current head of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Golden Snake was so angry that his heart ached!

After all, he had no idea that the Earth Snake was Imperial Family spy, which was definitely a major mistake.

Even if their Heavenly Serpent Mansion ultimately triumphs in the struggle against the Imperial Family, he is still culpable.
