Mystic Serpent
Chapter 155 The Mystic Serpent Almost half an hour later, in front of the palace, there were corpses lying all over the ground.
Xiao Lin emerged from the shadows and casually stepped over the corpses.
After Xiao Lin controlled the Spirit-Transforming Feather Serpent Formation, without any suspense, all the guards of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace, ranging from Dou Emperor to Dou Ling, died at his hands.
This shows just how terrifying the power of a Formation can be in the hands of Spirit Array Master!
Formation is inanimate, but Spirit Array Master can bring it to life.
It's no exaggeration to say that if the Spirit-Transforming Feather Serpent Formation were activated by the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, it would absolutely not have the power it possesses in Xiao Lin's hands!
At the same time, Xiao Lin also mastered his first level-four Formation after becoming Fourth-Level Spirit Formation master!
At this point, Xiao Lin was even able to draw a diagram of the Spirit-Transforming Feather Serpent Formation Array himself.
It must be said that using array diagrams to set up formations is indeed much more convenient than relying on the Nine Fundamental Formations for deduction.
It's no wonder that such ancient methods were gradually lost over time.
This kind of divination of Formation is simply too troublesome and too time-consuming.
Just like Xiao Lin, he spent two whole years at the Jia Nan Academy and only managed to deduce three first-level Spiritual Formation and one second-level Spiritual Formation.
For Xiao Lin at this level, such level one or two Spiritual Formation offer almost no boost to his combat power.
It was just a level three Spiritual Formation, the Void Locking Spirit Formation, which was somewhat useful to Xiao Lin.
Now, finally, we have another Fourth-Level Spirit Formation, the Spirit-Transforming Feather Serpent Formation.
Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Lin wanted to deduce a Fourth-Level Spirit Formation using the Nine Fundamental Formations, it would probably take him at least ten or eight years.
Of course, if Xiao Lin's Spirit Array Master level increases, it might not take this long.
"It seems that in the future, besides relying on my own deductions, I can also try to find some formation diagrams."
This was Xiao Lin's truest thought at that moment.
Back when I first became Spirit Array Master...
Xiao Lin believed that everything depended on himself, and the Spiritual Formation he derived himself was the most effective!
Now, reality has given him a resounding slap in the face.
Using other people's Formation is so much more fun!
Just now, Xiao Lin used the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family Formation to kill the guards of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace, and Xiao Lin was extremely happy.
Only then did Xiao Lin finally realize his mistake.
I was so naive back then!
Thus, with the help of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace Formation, Xiao Lin easily eliminated the guards and then pushed open the palace gates.
Of course, after eliminating these guards, Xiao Lin immediately put away the Spirit-Transforming Feather Serpent Formation.
"Crunch"
The heavy door was opened.
However, what froze Xiao Lin's smile was that the palace did not exude jewels or a strong medicinal fragrance; instead, it contained only portraits and memorial tablets.
"Damn! What kind of good family would build their ancestral hall in a place like this, with a bunch of people guarding it outside?"
At this moment, even Xiao Lin, with his composure, couldn't help but swear.
Xiao Lin was really frustrated.
He originally thought he had found the treasure vault of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, but he didn't expect to end up visiting their ancestral temple.
He went through all that trouble!
Just as Xiao Lin was speechless, a commotion suddenly came from outside.
"Hmm? Someone's here? That shouldn't be possible. I took down the guards outside using the Spirit-Transforming Feather Serpent Formation. Normally, information from here shouldn't have gotten out this early—"
Xiao Lin's brows furrowed slightly.
Xiao Lin didn't take action himself just now for two reasons: first, he wanted to master a new Spiritual Formation, and second, he didn't want to expose himself.
After all, once he takes action, it will inevitably have some impact.
Using the Formation here would be like trapping a dog inside a closed door, preventing any disturbance from spreading.
However, the fact that someone had actually come was truly perplexing to Xiao Lin.
However, Xiao Lin didn't think too much about it and immediately concealed his presence.
And so, Xiao Lin remained motionless, hiding in the shadows.
Not long after, a figure stepped into the ancestral shrine of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family.
The newcomer was cautious, constantly scanning his surroundings with his eyes.
At the same time, Xiao Lin could feel the opponent's Dou Qi sweeping past him time and time again.
Fortunately, the newcomer's strength was insufficient to see through Xiao Lin's full-force use of Heavenly Realm Soul Power to conceal himself.
Have the people who broke into the ancestral hall left yet?
After searching several times without finding a single person, the figure suddenly muttered to himself.
And this person was none other than Mystic Serpent, the last Dou Zong of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, who had met Xiao Lin at the Founding Ceremony not long ago and had also sent out invitations to the Jia Nan Academy recently!
The Mystic Serpent, who originally only had the cultivation of Two-Star Dou Zong, broke through to the four-star level not long ago after drinking the Crimson Flame Immortal Spirit Liquid.
But for Xiao Lin, as long as they don't break through to the Dou Venerable, everyone else is the same to him, without any difference.
"Indeed, this is, after all, my Imperial Family ancestral hall. If others come here and find nothing they're looking for, they'll naturally leave."
At this moment, Mystic Serpent also imagined a possibility.
After all, in Mystic Serpent's view, this was indeed the most likely possibility.
To be honest, when the Mystic Serpent arrived at this place and saw that all the guards were dead, it was quite a shock.
That's right. The reason why the Mystic Serpent came here was not because news of this place had spread, but because he was originally going to come here!
It can only be described as a coincidence.
As for why the Mystic Serpent came here?
The reason is actually quite simple: his goal is the same as Xiao Lin's!
That's right, the Mystic Serpent came for something in the ancestral shrine!
Unlike the Earth Snake of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, who was a member of the Imperial Family and therefore felt justified in his betrayal.
Mystic Serpent, however, was different. Although his actions were a betrayal of the Imperial Family, he was not turned by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion; rather, he had always harbored such intentions.
Otherwise, if he was truly orchestrated by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, how could they not know that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Earth Snake was a member of the Imperial Family?
Mystic Serpent She had already made up his mind. He was just waiting for the conflict between the Imperial Family and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to completely erupt, so that he could seize a certain treasure in the ancestral temple and leave the Heavenly Serpent Empire's sphere of influence.
As for the struggle between the Imperial Family and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, what does that have to do with them!
He just wants to be happy.
His mere Imperial Family status couldn't restrain him.
From now on, he will live for himself!
It was precisely for this reason that the Mystic Serpent took this action.
It can be said that among all the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, the one who hides the deepest secret is not the Emperor Heavenly Serpent, nor the undercover Earth Snake, but the unassuming Mystic Serpent!
