Talks Break Down

Chapter 36: Negotiations Break Down

The Snake People Race's powerful warriors confronted the outsiders, and a dialogue began between the two sides.

The newcomers' intentions were clear: they wanted to meet Queen Medusa.

If Queen Medusa refused to appear, the newcomers threatened to destroy the Snake People Race's large city.

At this point, there was a clear disparity in strength between the two sides.

Among the newcomers was a black-robed figure whose face couldn't be seen, but whose aura was intimidating.

The Snake People Race's strong warriors all knew that this mysterious black-robed person was the most powerful.

Just as Gu He and his group were preparing to make their move, Queen Medusa finally appeared before everyone.

Her enchanting and exquisitely beautiful face appeared before the crowd, her flowing dark hair cascading casually over her shoulders. Her languid demeanor exuded a fatal allure to men.

Beneath her noble and graceful purple brocade robe, her alluring and shapely figure was encased, and a section of her purple snake tail swayed gently, full of wild and seductive charm.

Seeing this stunning beauty left everyone feeling parched.

Queen Medusa's appearance caused the men present to stir with an uncontrollable inner unrest.

Gu He and the few strong warriors beside him all showed looks of awe, marveling at Queen Medusa's peerless beauty in their hearts.

Upon seeing Queen Medusa appear, the Snake People Race's warriors respectfully bowed.

Mobas, the leader of the Black Snake Tribe, gazed at Queen Medusa with eyes full of enchantment and deep admiration.

"You're looking for me?" Queen Medusa slightly lowered her head, her captivating eyes fixed on Gu He.

Every glance and smile she gave revealed a charm, an irresistible allure.

Gu He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and looked up at Queen Medusa, saying, "Your Majesty Queen Medusa, it is an honor to meet you. I am Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire."

Learning that the newcomer was Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire, Queen Medusa showed no surprise, only a faint smile.

The two then engaged in a conversation.

Pill King Gu He had come to the Snake People Race's tribe to find Queen Medusa primarily for a Heavenly Flame.

As long as Queen Medusa handed over the Heavenly Flame, Gu He could offer two sixth-grade Dou Ling Pills and one Form Transformation Pill in exchange.

Seeing Gu He's generous offer, the Snake People Race's warriors were all shocked.

Everyone knew the effect of a sixth-grade Dou Ling Pill: it could increase a Dou Wang's strength by one star.

A seventh-grade Form Transformation Pill was even more coveted by Dou Huang-level Monster Beasts.

The Form Transformation Pill held great allure for the Snake People Race.

However, Queen Medusa remained unmoved and rejected Gu He's request.

Since Queen Medusa refused to exchange the Heavenly Flame, Gu He had no choice but to return.

He knew of Queen Medusa's fearsome reputation; even if all of them combined their efforts, they would be no match for the Snake People Race's strong warriors.

At this moment, the black-robed figure, who had been silent, suddenly revealed Queen Medusa's identity and the reason why she wouldn't hand over the Heavenly Flame.

"Not only do I know that you need the Heavenly Flame to complete your evolution, but I also know that you are currently just an energy body containing a remnant of Queen Medusa's will. I imagine the true Queen Medusa must be preparing for her evolution somewhere else, no?"

The black-robed figure said calmly, his tone confident.

The black-robed figure's words sent a shockwave through everyone present.

The Snake People Race's warriors' expressions changed drastically, becoming tense.

Since they could no longer hide it, a battle was surely about to erupt.

The black-robed figure lightly lifted a foot and quietly stepped down, his figure instantly vanishing from his original spot.

Seeing this, Queen Medusa's expression changed.

Just as she was about to move, a shadow appeared behind her, and a hand, as white as jade, gently reached out and landed on her back.

"How dare you!"

The Snake People Race's warriors roared in anger, rushing forward, but they were blocked by the strong warriors accompanying Gu He.

In the end, Queen Medusa's energy body vanished from its spot.

Just as a major battle between the two sides was about to erupt, a figure shot forth like lightning.

Sensing this sudden and powerful aura, the black-robed figure's expression changed, and he immediately turned to stare in the direction of the newcomer.

Soon, everyone sensed the powerful aura approaching.

The newcomer was completely enveloped in a silver robe, and a strong aura emanated unchecked.

The sudden appearance of a mysterious strong warrior was unexpected by everyone present.

The Snake People Race initially thought he was an accomplice of Gu He's and immediately felt immense pressure.

Having one Dou Huang-level warrior was already stressful enough.

Now, with another appearing, it was like adding frost to snow.

"What is your purpose in coming to the Snake People Race?" Chen Xuan hovered in front of the Snake People Race's warriors, questioning Gu He and his group.

Chen Xuan had actually been there for some time.

When he saw Gu He from a distance, he hid himself and didn't show up easily.

This was because he had seen Gu He at the Cloud Mist Sect.

Gu He had a close relationship with the Cloud Mist Sect.

So, Chen Xuan didn't reveal his true appearance.

"Who are you, sir?" Gu He asked, his expression wary.

Discovering that the suddenly appearing Dou Huang expert had come to help the Snake People Race, Gu He's heart jolted, and his pressure increased significantly.

"Hmph, Queen Medusa is my wife. Who do you think I am?" Chen Xuan scoffed.

As he spoke, he unleashed his Eight-star Dou Huang aura without reservation, shocking everyone present.

Seeing that the silver-robed man possessed Eight-star Dou Huang strength, the black-robed person beside Gu He frowned slightly.

She never expected Queen Medusa to have an Eight-star Dou Huang helper.

And this helper claimed to be Queen Medusa's man.

This was truly unbelievable.

The always cold and arrogant Queen Medusa actually had a man; it was completely unexpected.

"Leader Yue Mei, what exactly is going on?" Mobas asked, his face full of confusion. "When did Her Majesty the Queen get a man?"

As one of the eight great leaders of the Snake People Race, Mobas had never heard of the Queen having a man she favored.

Now, a silver-robed man suddenly appeared, claiming to be the Queen's man, which left Mobas quite bewildered.

"His aura feels somewhat familiar, could it be...?" Yue Mei's expression was surprised.

She seemed to have thought of a possibility.

"Could it be what?" Mobas quickly asked.

"Mobas, do you remember that expert who defeated Her Majesty the Queen two years ago?" Yue Mei said with a solemn expression. "I think he's that person from two years ago."

Hearing this, Mobas finally remembered.

Looking at the silver-robed man, Mobas's expression wasn't very good, and he felt a strong resistance in his heart.

But now, he didn't dare to offend the silver-robed man.

"You've trespassed on my wife's territory; you've got some nerve," Chen Xuan said, his gaze fixed on Gu He and his group, his tone chilling. "If you don't leave compensation, none of you will leave easily."

Gu He, this Alchemist, was a big fat sheep; how could Chen Xuan let him go so easily?

He was determined to extract a hefty price from Gu He.

"For you alone to try and stop us, isn't that a bit overconfident?" the black-robed person said.

"Hmm?" Hearing the black-robed person's clear voice, Chen Xuan was momentarily stunned.

This woman's voice was a bit familiar; had he met her somewhere before?

Suddenly, Chen Xuan thought of a possibility: the black-robed person in front of him should be the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect.
