Chapter 300: The Queen Medusa Arrives!
In Liu Ling's understanding, the Snake-People Queen Medusa was merely at the Dou Emperor level, and he was very aware of Xiao Jin's strength. Even in the Dou Ancestor realm, Xiao Jin was a relatively strong presence. Therefore, Liu Ling wasn't very worried about Yue Mei's threat.
Moreover, Yue Mei's words inadvertently cleared Liu Ling's mind.
"If my teacher knew that I called Xiao Jin for help because of the war between the two tribes, he probably wouldn't deduct points from me. So, this time, I'm only one step away from successfully becoming a fifth-grade alchemist!"
"Haha! Haha!"
Thinking about completing the training task assigned by Gu He and returning to Yunlan Sect, Liu Ling suddenly burst into laughter.
"Rebel, how dare you disrespect Her Majesty the Queen! When Her Majesty arrives, you will surely meet a bad end!" Hearing Liu Ling's inexplicable laughter, Yue Mei's anger reached its peak.
"Well then, I'll wait for your Queen Majesty to come and kill me!"
After grinning at Yue Mei, Liu Ling directly said to Xiao Jin, "Xiao Jin, this snake woman's strength is a bit strong, can you help Brother Liu seal her cultivation?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Liu Ling's request, Xiao Jin readily agreed.
The next moment, Xiao Jin's hand formed several seals, and strands of golden energy threads entered Yue Mei's body. Suddenly, Yue Mei's aura began to violently recede. In just a few breaths, she changed from a mighty Dou King expert to a weak woman who couldn't even reach the Dou Zhe level. At this point, Xiao Jin also released the golden energy that bound her.
Sensing her rapidly diminishing strength, although Yue Mei's face remained calm, her heart was shocked to the extreme.
Knowing that Yue Mei's cultivation was gone, Liu Ling reached out and firmly grasped her chin, saying with a smile, "Now let's see how fierce you can be! Haha."
Yue Mei raised her hand to slap Liu Ling's hand away, but Liu Ling easily caught her hand, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Yue Mei snorted coldly and simply ignored Liu Ling.
Seeing Yue Mei's reaction, Liu Ling didn't feel like wasting any more words with her, so he instructed Cassida, "Take this snake woman and lock her up in my courtyard!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Liu Ling's command, Cassida immediately called a few mercenaries and prepared to take Yue Mei away.
However, when these mercenaries approached, Yue Mei suddenly swung her huge snake tail in resistance.
"Hehe, if you don't behave, maybe I'll send you to play with my brothers under me. Your body is quite tempting, you know!" Liu Ling chuckled.
Upon hearing Liu Ling's words, Yue Mei's delicate face suddenly turned pale, her body trembled, and she immediately gave up resistance, obediently following behind Cassida.
Seeing Yue Mei being taken away, Liu Ling's gaze turned to the city outskirts again, his eyes showing a pensive look.
In Liu Ling's eyes, the Snake-People's large army, which bypassed Stone Desert City, quickly learned of the news and turned back, merging with the small force that had just attacked Stone Desert City.
The huge number made Liu Ling somewhat worried.
Liu Ling knew that Xiao Jin was sent by his teacher to ensure his safety. The few times he asked Xiao Jin to take action were because his own life was threatened. However, it was impossible for Xiao Jin to act against the soldiers of the Snake-People tribe.
"What, you mean Lady Yue Mei was captured by the mercenaries from Stone Desert City!" exclaimed a male snake-person, a Dou Spirit practitioner, several dozen miles outside of Stone Desert City.
"Absolutely true, Lady Yue Mei ordered us not to attack Stone Desert City before she was captured. We've already sent someone to inform Her Majesty the Queen at the temple!" said a female snake-person, still trembling with fear.
"Ah, with such a big event happening, I wonder when Lord Mobas and the other two lords will return!" sighed a snake-person junior leader deeply.
Just as the snake-person leader's voice fell, in the distant sky, three figures were rushing towards them.
"I didn't expect that kid's sudden outbreak to be so powerful! I almost didn't make it back alive!" sighed the leader of the snake-person tribe, Southern Snake, with lingering fear, a gaping wound about the size of a bowl beneath his waist. If it had been a little deeper, his entire tail would have been cut off.
"Don't worry, when Her Majesty the Queen arrives, she'll surely have a way to heal your injuries. Besides, although that kid escaped, he's already been poisoned by us. He won't live long!" glared Mobas, extremely coldly, at Southern Snake's wound.
"Huh, why did Lady Yue Mei order the army to stop here?"
Suddenly, the silent snake-person leader Kui Xing exclaimed in surprise.
At the words, Mobas and Southern Snake also looked forward in amazement.
"Go, quickly check if anything unexpected has happened!"
The next moment, the three leaders sped towards the snake-person army.
"Yue Mei!"
Just as they approached, Mobas shouted loudly into the army, but what they got in return was not Yue Mei's response.
"Lord Mobas! Lord Southern Snake... You've finally returned!"
Several snake-person leaders looked excitedly at the three leaders in the sky.
Soon, the Mobas trio, back in the army, learned of Yue Mei's capture.
"What kind of origin does this Stonedust City's Chief Mercenary Corps have! Their Second Deputy Commander can even tread on emptiness. Could it be that they're in the legendary Dou Ancestor realm!" Southern Snake doubted.
"It should be correct. Yue Mei's Division Technique is hard to detect even by Dou Emperor experts, yet she was easily captured by that person!" Kui Xing affirmed. They were all very clear about Yue Mei's strength.
"Since the other party has Dou Ancestor-level experts, we cannot act recklessly. We must wait for Her Majesty the Queen to come and make the decision!"
"I didn't expect that just as our four leading armies approached the edge of the desert, we would be stopped by the first line of defense of the Agmar Empire!" Mobas sighed heavily with a serious expression.
...
Several days later, outside an ancient palace deep in the Tagor Great Desert.
A female snake-person wearing red armor with fiery red hair hurriedly rushed into the palace.
This female snake-person, named Huashe'er, was the captain of the Medusa Snake Guards, and like the other eight leaders of the snake-person tribe, she had reached the Dou King realm.
Shortly after Huashe'er entered the hall, a red light burst out from the hall and rushed towards the direction of Stone Desert City.
