They were not that despicable, but toward the Snake People Tribe, it was indeed unfair enough.

Who would talk about fairness with their own enemies?

"Yan, stop wasting words with her. Just make a move and take her down!"

Beside him, Wind Walker Feng Li flicked his sleeve, and dark green wind blades appeared out of thin air. They tore through the air with a piercing whistle as they shot urgently toward Yue Mei.

Boom!

The wind blades exploded, kicking up a massive cloud of yellow sand.

"Feng Li, why are you being so rough? Such a tender woman, and you'll ruin her," Yan Shi grumbled.

Feng Li rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

Then, as the yellow sand settled, more than a dozen tiny energy snakes darted off in all directions.

A secret technique of the Snake People TribeSnake's Extreme: Differentiation!

"Not good, she's getting away!"

The others were startled and immediately acted together, trying to kill all the energy snakes.

But unfortunately, several of the little snakes still slipped through the net and raced into the distant desert.

"The Snake People Tribe's secret techniques are truly too hard to catch!" Feng Li snorted unwillingly.

That was also because they had not taken Yue Mei seriously enough and had not brought enough people.

Most importantly, Yun Yun had not made a move.

Even in a two-against-one fight between Dou Wangs, it was still quite difficult to kill the other party completely, not to mention that the Snake People Tribe's methods were inherently difficult to deal with.

Of course, if Yun Yun had acted, Yue Mei definitely would not have escaped.

But she had not.

Because it was not covered by her payment.

"Let her go. Don't worry about her."

Gu He waved a hand, soothing the others.

They had only encountered Yue Mei by chance in the first place. If they could not take her down, then so be it. They could not lose the big picture over a minor matter.

Besides, they had come to the Snake People Tribe this time with the intention of negotiating. If they started a full-scale fight with the Snake People Tribe now, it would only hinder their plans.

The massive Flying Beast continued through the night sky.

Deep in the desert, the royal city of the Snake People Tribe.

Under the sunlight, the enormous temple gleamed brilliantly.

On the city walls, Snake People soldiers stood guard vigilantly.

Then two figures rapidly flew in from the nearby horizon.

"Who goes there?"

The soldiers atop the walls immediately drew their weapons.

"Ink Snake Tribe, Mo Bass!"

"Flame Snake Tribe, Yan Ci!"

The two voices rang out.

The guards on the walls immediately let them through, allowing the fat man and the thin man to enter the temple within.

"Yue Mei, you summoned us so urgently. Has something major happened?"

Mo Bass's voice was loud and full of vigor.

Inside the main hall, Yue Mei had already been waiting for a long time.

"Only the two of you came?" Yue Mei glanced at them.

"Your notice was too sudden. For now, only the two of us happened to be free enough to come. The others will need some more time," Yan Ci said.

"First, tell us what exactly happened that made you summon us so urgently."

"Human experts have arrived." Yue Mei's expression was grave.

"Human experts? What human experts would dare come here? Aren't they afraid of Her Majesty the Queen?" Mo Bass said with some disdain.

"Outside the desert, I would not dare say much. But here, no matter how bold these human experts are, I refuse to believe they are not afraid of Her Majesty the Queen."

The Snake People Tribe had grown increasingly powerful and was no longer so afraid of the Jia Ma Empire.

"I'm not joking. Yesterday, I encountered them in battle and was forced to flee. They have five Dou Lings, four Dou Wangs, and one Dou Huang!" Yue Mei's expression was extremely solemn, without the slightest hint of jest.

Hearing that, Mo Bass finally became serious. "Are you certain they have a Dou Huang expert?"

"Certain! Otherwise, why do you think I was in such a hurry to call you all here?"

Although Yue Mei had only fought two of the Dou Wangs last night, she had still figured out their numbers and strength.

Of the two black-clothed figures who had not acted atop the Flying Beast, one was a one-star Dou Wang, which was easy enough to tell.

But even with Yue Mei's strength, she could not see through the other person's cultivation. That meant the other person's cultivation was above hers.

She was already a Dou Wang. If even she could not see through the person's cultivation, then they could only be a Dou Huang!

"Even a Dou Huang expert has come. Then we truly cannot be careless." Yan Ci's voice sank slightly.

"Did you notify Her Majesty the Queen?"

Yue Mei nodded. "Of course I did. But Hua She'er, captain of the Queen's guard, informed me that Her Majesty is in seclusion and that no one may enter to disturb her."

"At a time like this, we still can't go in? Didn't you tell her about the situation?" Mo Bass frowned.

Once he learned that the other side had a Dou Huang expert, his attitude immediately changed.

After all, they were only Dou Wangs. They were no match for a true Dou Huang expert.

"I already told her, but Her Majesty still refused to see me. That is why I immediately notified you all, so we could make a decision together," Yue Mei said.

If Queen Medusa had not been in seclusion, she would not have needed to notify the other leaders.

Perhaps the other side also knew that Queen Medusa was in seclusion, which was why they had chosen to act at this time!

Just as they were discussing how to respond, several powerful auras suddenly rose from outside the hall, far beyond the royal city. The three of their expressions changed slightly.

"They're here!"

Outside the royal city.

The enormous Flying Beast let out a clear cry.

The newcomers were none other than Gu He and his group!

"Is that them?"

Yue Mei and the other two hurried to the city wall and looked at the Flying Beast in the sky ahead. Several people stood upon its back.

"Five Dou Lings, four Dou Wangs, and one Dou Huang... just as expected."

After sensing the auras of the people on the Flying Beast's back, Mo Bass and the other two's expressions changed slightly.

This lineup was too strong!

Anyone who did not know better would think they had come to launch an attack.

Yan Ci flew directly into the air and said coldly:

"This is the territory of our Snake People Tribe, not a place for you humans. Or are you planning to provoke another war between our Snake People Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire?"

Hearing this, Gu He stepped slightly forward and smiled. "Heh heh, you must be Chief Yan Ci of the Flame Snake Tribe? I am Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire."

"I know you. Gu He, the Pill King—your fame is immense. Even among our Snake People Tribe, your name is widely known." Yan Ci was somewhat surprised.

Of course they knew Gu He, the Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire and currently its only Sixth-grade Alchemist.

Even in their entire Snake People Tribe, they did not have a single Sixth-grade Alchemist.

And the influence of a Sixth-grade Alchemist was simply too great.
