"Who is it!?"
Yao Ming suddenly opened his eyes. His blue pupils emitted a cold light.
Xiao Ting lightly waved his hand, brushing off the mud on his body, and released his own aura.
"My name is Xiao Ting, the City Lord of Purple Sky City. Given your status, you should know about the Dou God clans. I come from the Xiao Clan, which was the strongest clan a thousand years ago."
"I know your situation. The elders of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe and your older brother, Yao Xiao Tian, betrayed and framed you. They tortured you and imprisoned you here to interrogate you about the location of the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet. That tablet is actually hidden in a special place inside your body."
"I will rescue you and help you recover your strength as quickly as possible. Furthermore, if you are willing to acknowledge me as your master, I can also give you the opportunity to break through to the three-star Dou Saint realm. Think carefully."
Yao Ming: "…"
You explained it very clearly. What exactly do I need to consider?
If I can escape, recover, and reach the three-star Dou Saint realm, I will gain absolute power to take revenge.
If I don't agree, will I have to continue suffering here?!
"I agree!"
Yao Ming spoke with hope. His voice was hoarse, like a rusty knife being sharpened by machinery.
Xiao Ting narrowed his eyes. His soul force transformed into soul flame and floated in front of Yao Ming.
Without hesitation, Yao Ming opened his mouth and swallowed the soul flame, completely integrating it into the core of his own soul.
Xiao Ting nodded in satisfaction and took out the remains of the Creation Saint, handing them to Yao Ming. In addition, he also gave him an eighth-rank pill that he had personally refined.
"By consuming this skeleton and combining it with the power of the eighth-rank secret medicine, you should be able to recover from your injuries."
"I have already removed the restrictions of the chains that bound you. They can no longer suppress you, and outsiders will not be able to sense that you have been freed."
"Once your physique and strength have fully recovered, you can refine these chains into a weapon and integrate them with yourself. That way, you will no longer need to fear the power of the Nine Nether Realm."
"When your strength reaches the late stage of two-star Dou Saint, I, Xiao Ting, will go with you to take revenge."
Yao Ming already felt that he had regained his freedom. The chains that once bound him were no longer restraints. Instead, he felt a sense of comfort from the power they transmitted.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Without hesitation, Yao Ming knelt on one knee and bowed deeply, his eyes filled with enthusiasm.
"Recover as quickly as possible. I'm going to look around. Later, we'll go together to take revenge on the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe."
Xiao Ting lightly nodded. His body turned into a streak of light and disappeared toward the deepest part of the Nine Nether Realm.
Not long after, Xiao Ting used his flying ability and easily located the nest of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
[I was at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs and discovered the nest of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.]
[Through spatial power, I discovered that this nest was sealed by Dou God level power.]
[This power shared the same origin as Qing Lin's power. It must have come from the Ancient Heavenly Serpent — the Heavenly Serpent Emperor!]
[As far as I knew, the Ancient Heavenly Serpent Clan and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Clan once had a cooperative relationship. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe could be considered the common descendants of both.]
[Seven colors, nine nether realms.]
[Devouring the heavens and darkening the earth.]
[All of them were snakes.]
[No one knew exactly what had happened back then, but the nest of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python contained the inheritance of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and the souls of many Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons that had lost consciousness. These would be a great harvest for Cai Lin and held the possibility of opening a path to break through to the four-star Dou Saint realm.]
[…]
After finishing recording in the Journal, Xiao Ting raised his hand and took out the Yin Yang Diagram.
This Yin Yang Diagram itself contained a small world and was formed from the origin of Yin and Yang in the universe.
With his current soul force, he could completely move the entire nest of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, allowing Cai Lin to safely accept the inheritance.
…
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Xiao Ting opened his eyes and raised his hand to put away the Yin Yang Diagram.
The nest of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which the Ancient Heavenly Serpent had once suppressed using the Nine Nether Realm, had been completely swallowed and became part of the world inside the Yin Yang Diagram.
With a thought, he used his flying technique to leave the Nine Nether Yellow Springs and headed straight for another forbidden area of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe in front of the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.
Yao Ming had fully recovered three days ago. Instead of immediately attacking Yao Xiao Tian and the elders of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, he had been moving secretly and contacting his former loyal subordinates.
After being imprisoned and suffering for hundreds of years, he had turned his misfortune into strength and reached the peak of two-star Dou Saint — stronger than both Yao Xiao Tian and the Great Elder.
Furthermore, after Yao Xiao Tian seized power, his direct subordinates had been marginalized, so they naturally chose to follow him without hesitation.
With the cooperation of these people, Yao Ming planned to set a trap and have them lure Yao Xiao Tian, the Great Elder, and the entire clan to the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.
"Yao Ming!"
Xiao Ting appeared silently beside Yao Ming.
"Your Highness!"
Yao Ming was filled with regret. His soul trembled as he immediately knelt on one knee and paid his respects. His heart was filled with violent waves.
He had already reached the final stage of the two-star Dou Saint realm. Even though he was still within the territory of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, he had not noticed at all when Xiao Ting appeared beside him.
If Xiao Ting wished, he could easily kill him without even using soul control.
"Hmm."
Xiao Ting lightly nodded and turned toward the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet. "I plan to enter and obtain the inheritance of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint. Do you have any objections?"
"Please, go ahead!" Yao Ming naturally did not object.
As long as Xiao Ting had the ability, he had no objection to him taking away the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.
"Yao Xiao Tian and the elders of your tribe have accepted the Hun Clan's invitation and left the Beast Region. They have agreed to deal with the Soul Extinction Alliance. So you should also know what to do next, right?" Xiao Ting turned to look at Yao Ming.
"I understand!" Yao Ming immediately nodded. "There is a massive formation of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe here that can only be activated with the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet. Even a five-star Dou Saint would have no choice but to return empty-handed. Not to mention Yao Xiao Tian and the Great Elder — they are not as strong as I am."
"Your subordinates will continue to cooperate with the Hun Clan on the surface while quietly gathering information about the location of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and preparing to deal with them."
"When the time comes, we will join forces with the experts of the Soul Extinction Alliance and destroy the entire Heavenly Phoenix Clan."
"Hmm?"
Xiao Ting was very satisfied with Yao Ming's arrangements.
Directly turning against them would be an incredibly foolish act.
They needed to be more meticulous. Otherwise, the Hun Clan would have paid the price.
As for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, since they chose to side with the Hun Clan, they would have to pay the price.
"There's no need to kill the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. The powerful members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan will deal with them."
Considering that Feng Qing Er was serving as his mount, Xiao Ting had no intention of destroying the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
He would let Feng Qing Er lead the charge and pull the carriage.
"I will obey." Yao Ming lowered his head and accepted the order.
Xiao Ting stopped talking and used his flying technique to enter the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet. Then, he released his soul force.
In the next moment, his consciousness felt as if it had entered another world.
This place was filled with a wild and savage atmosphere.
Xiao Ting released his soul force and said, "Yellow Spring Demon Saint, come out and meet me."
