Chapter 377: Yue Mei in Danger, Golden Goose Sect's Dou Huang!
The only person who could make both Medusa and Wu Tian so tense was naturally someone from the Serpent Tribe.
The Serpent Tribe had long established itself at the pinnacle of the Jia Ma Empire. There was no need to hide this fact.
After all, Medusa, the leader of Cai Lin's faction, was the Serpent Tribe's Queen, and Wu Tian was its Guardian Elder.
In the Dou Qi Continent, strength was all that mattered.
With Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian now answering to them, the rest of the empire had no choice but to respect the Serpent Tribe.
Among the tribe, only Dou Wang level warriors and above could fly.
Although the Serpent Tribe had many Dou Wang experts, most of them were no longer stationed in the Jia Ma Empire.
The empire was merely their former home, and there was no need to leave too many warriors behind.
However, one of the eight great commanders, Yue Mei, had remained behind.
Yue Mei had chosen to stay for three reasons:
First, some members of the Serpent Tribe were still in the empire.
Second, she was one of the strongest commanders in the tribe.
And third she had volunteered to stay behind.
Her close friend, Hua She'er, had left for the Black Corner Region as a Serpent Tribe guard captain.
But as a commander, Yue Mei had her own duties to fulfill.
She would only remain temporarily. Once she had fully established order in the Tagor Desert's royal city, she would leave and let someone else take over.
For now, she coordinated with Hai Bodong, whom she had met before.
Unlike some of her other fellow commanders, she at least knew how to cooperate.
Otherwise, she might have ended up like a certain someone, getting a face full of Hai Bodong's "refreshing" treatment.
But today, Yue Mei one of the Serpent Tribe's great commanders was in an incredibly dire situation.
In all her years, she had never been in such a desperate fight for her life.
She had reached the Dou Huang realm.
Six months ago, she had been at the peak of Dou Wang, but now, she was a true Dou Huang.
And yet, despite this, she was on the run.
Had this happened in the past, no one would have believed it.
A Dou Huang was once an unrivaled force in the Jia Ma Empire.
But in just one year, it felt as if they had been demoted.
Even ordinary citizens now believed that Dou Huangs weren't that impressive anymore.
But that was just an illusion.
To these commoners, even reaching Dou Ling or Dou Wang was an impossible dream.
The problem was that people knew too much now.
Before, most had never even heard of Dou Zong experts.
But now?
Even children knew about them.
And so, people began aiming too high.
They mocked Dou Huangs as if it were nothing, yet they themselves would never be able to reach that level.
Their misplaced arrogance blinded them to reality.
They expected Dou Huangs to protect them, but when they failed, they sneered at them as weaklings.
This was the sorrow of the weak.
Unable to grow stronger themselves, they blamed others.
During this war between empires, some shameless traitors even willingly defected.
Disgusting.
And the reason Yue Mei was being hunted…
Was because she had tried to protect these worthless traitors.
No matter what she did, nothing changed.
She had fallen into an ambush.
And now, she was being pursued.
The two blue robed figures behind her were to blame.
"These two damn bastards! If I recover from my injuries, I swear I'll rip all the flesh off their bodies and feed it to my little pet!"
Yue Mei's serpentine tail flicked against the air as she dove downward, her body shooting forward like an arrow.
Each time she touched the ground, she propelled herself dozens of meters ahead.
But even as she fled, she turned back to curse her pursuers.
"Damn it… the city of Lingyan has already fallen."
Her expression darkened.
The traitors had opened the gates from within.
Now, even more enemy forces were spilling into Jia Ma Empire.
This was a disaster.
Lingyan City was one of the most important border cities.
As a Dou Huang, Yue Mei had successfully defended it before.
But this time
She hadn't been so lucky.
The real enemy hadn't been the invaders.
It had been their own people.
After the traitors opened the gates, three Dou Huang experts from the enemy stormed the city.
One of them was even a Three Star Dou Huang.
Yue Mei had fought back fiercely.
With her Earth Tier Dou Techniques, she managed to severely wound the Three Star Dou Huang.
But ultimately, she had no choice but to retreat.
However, she had bought time for the Jia Ma forces to escape.
By the time the enemy seized control, most of the defenders had already fled.
Only a few warriors remained to fight.
And that was why the enemy Dou Huangs were furious.
One of them stayed behind to guard the city.
The other two?
They were hunting her down.
Yue Mei had powerful techniques, but she was low on Dou Qi.
She had recovery pills, but at this speed, she couldn't take them fast enough.
She couldn't afford to waste more energy on combat.
So she ran.
But the two blue robed figures weren't giving up.
They relentlessly pursued her, as if they were on a pilgrimage.
Or maybe…
They weren't chasing her.
They were hunting her.
For pleasure.
The golden goose emblem on their robes marked them as disciples of the Golden Goose Sect from Luo Yan Empire.
And their expressions?
Perverted.
Twisted.
"Damn it! No matter how badly she's injured, this snake woman keeps slipping away!"
"I swear, once I catch her, I'll make her suffer before she dies!"
"Heh… I hear Serpent Tribe women are incredibly skilled with their tongues."
"In our empire, even a single snake woman slave can be sold for a fortune!"
"But a Dou Huang level beauty like this?"
"Hahaha, I can only imagine how much fun she'll be!"
Their eyes glowed with dark lust as they stared at the fleeing figure ahead.
Even in desperate flight, Yue Mei's curves were breathtaking.
One of the men licked his lips.
"We can't let her escape into enemy territory. If she finds reinforcements, we're dead!"
"Agreed. Let's finish this now!"
Golden light flared around them.
And then
From their backs, giant golden wings unfolded.
The hunt was over.
It was time to claim their prize.
