Chapter 156 The Hidden Door in the Ancestral Shrine "Hey, those guys from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion are idiots, and those old fogies in the Imperial Family aren't much better. You can keep fighting, I'm leaving this egg country soon!"

As he cursed and swore, Mystic Serpent She walked up to the memorial tablets of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family.

Xiao Lin, hidden in the shadows, kept a close eye on Mystic Serpent's every move.

Xiao Lin wanted to know what the purpose of the Mystic Serpent's visit to this ancestral shrine was.

Xiao Lin didn't believe the other party would come here for no reason.

Moreover, Xiao Lin heard all of Mystic Serpent's complaints.

Therefore, Xiao Lin became even more convinced that the Mystic Serpent had come to this ancestral temple with a purpose.

"Perhaps I'm about to discover an incredible secret!"

Xiao Lin thought to himself silently.

In fact, Xiao Lin was unaware that the so-called deal between the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family and Jia Nan Academy was fabricated by Mystic Serpent.

That's right, that deal never existed in the first place!

The Heavenly Serpent Emperor ordered Mystic Serpent to use whatever means necessary to ensure that Jia Nan Academy sends representatives to their Founding Ceremony.

Therefore, Mystic Serpent went to the Jia Nan Academy to discuss with First Elder Su Qian, offering three Tier 7 Medicinal Pills, ten Rank Tier 6 Medicinal Pill, and permission for the Jia Nan Academy to recruit students within the Heavenly Serpent Empire in exchange for the Jia Nan Academy sending Xiao Lin.

After receiving the reply, Mystic Serpent returned to the Heavenly Serpent Empire and naturally gave the emperor a different account.

Since Mystic Serpent She was one of the four Dou Zong ancestors of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor naturally did not expect that the other party would have other intentions and would deceive him.

This is also why the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family never mentioned this matter to Xiao Lin after he arrived in the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

Because the Heavenly Serpent Emperor had absolutely no idea about this deal!

It can be said that Mystic Serpent She was certain that Jia Nan Academy would not bring up this matter on its own initiative.

After all, Jia Nan Academy is a neutral force with an academy-like structure, so there are many things that are inconvenient to say directly.

Should Xiao Lin bring up this matter with the Heavenly Serpent Emperor the Heavenly Serpent Empire?

That's no joke!

If word gets out about this, Jia Nan Academy's reputation will probably be ruined.

Furthermore, the fundamental purpose of the Heavenly Serpent Empire in insisting that Jia Nan Academy send someone was not only to force the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to end his seclusion early by having another Dou Zong, but also to intimidate and support the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family afterward.

After all, in the eyes of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, even if their Imperial Family subdued the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, there would still be a lot of unrest in the Heavenly Serpent Empire after this battle.

At this time, assistance from the Jia Nan Academy would undoubtedly be very helpful in stabilizing the situation in the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

It's important to know that Jia Nan Academy has a very good reputation in the Northwest Continent.

However, no one expected that Mystic Serpent, the middleman, would keep such a matter a secret.

This misunderstanding caused Xiao Lin to develop resentment towards the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family.

And that led to Xiao Lin's infiltration of the Imperial Palace.

Mystic Serpent She never imagined that a lie he casually told as a middleman would ultimately bring retribution upon himself!

And this retribution is coming soon.

At this moment, the Mystic Serpent cautiously patrolled the Imperial Family ancestral temple once again. Finding no one there, it then made its next move.

"Bang bang bang"

With a casual flick of his wrist, Mystic Serpent unleashed a burst of Dou Qi, instantly sweeping all the ancestral tablets of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family to the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin, who was hiding in the shadows, was also dumbfounded. At this moment, all Xiao Lin could think of was "Wow!"

Truly, whether in his past life or this one, this was the first time Xiao Lin had ever seen a descendant treat his ancestor's memorial tablet in such a way.

Even though these are inanimate objects, this is clearly disrespectful to one's ancestors!

Even if these ancestors themselves never saw it, by doing this you can be said to have already transcended the category of "human".

Of course, judging from Mystic Serpent She's actions, he is indeed no longer worthy of being called a "human".

At the very least, no normal person would do these things today!

It should be noted that even when Xiao Lin entered the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, he didn't intend to do anything to these spirit tablets.

Unexpectedly, these spirit tablets were all swept to the ground by Mystic Serpent, this junior.

"A person with such no moral compass deserves to die!"

Xiao Lin had already sentenced the Mystic Serpent to death in his heart.

It's not that Xiao Lin and Mystic Serpent have a grudge, but there are some things and some people that, if you see them and have the ability but don't do anything about it, it's really against your conscience!

However, although Xiao Lin had already sentenced Mystic Serpent to death in his heart, he still wanted to see what this shameless guy was up to.

The answer was soon revealed.

After sweeping the ancestral tablets to the ground, Mystic Serpent didn't even glance at them again, but instead turned her attention to a hidden door behind them.

"There's a hidden door here? Strange, why didn't my Heavenly Soul Realm detect its existence?"

Upon seeing the hidden door, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Xiao Lin was truly puzzled that the Heavenly Soul Realm, which had always been invincible, hadn't even discovered a single hidden door this time.

But Xiao Lin soon found out the reason.

Under his watchful gaze, the Mystic Serpent had already reached the hidden door.

However, there was a small groove on the surface of that hidden door.

Then, Mystic Serpent concentrated his Dou Qi on the index finger of his right hand, and then drew a line with his index finger across the palm of his left hand.

Immediately, blood dripped from the Mystic Serpent's left palm.

Under the control of the Mystic Serpent, all the blood dripped into the groove.

As the Mystic Serpent's blood dripped into it, the hidden door seemed to come alive, completely absorbing all the blood that the Mystic Serpent had dripped into it!

This was a hidden door that could only be opened with the blood of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family.

The concept of bloodline permeates almost the entire Battle Through the Heavens World.

It's not that bloodlines only exist at the Dou Emperor level.

In fact, people like the monster race, as well as many Ordinary, also possess bloodlines.

Just like the Xiao Household now, even though they have lost their former Dou Emperor Bloodline, are you going to say that the Xiao Household no longer has the concept of bloodline?

Obviously impossible!

The same applies to the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family.

It was precisely because the key to opening this hidden door was the blood of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family that Xiao Lin hadn't discovered its existence when he scanned the ancestral shrine with the Heavenly Mirror's Soul Power.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Mystic Serpent, Xiao Lin would probably have missed this hidden door in the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family today.
