Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 94 The storm is coming
"The communication between these snake people is really fast..." one of them exclaimed.

"Let's act quickly. If we wait until all eight leaders of the Snake-People tribes gather, things will get complicated. As far as I know, the weakest among them is at least an eight-star Dou Wang." A burly man with a full head of blond hair, resembling a golden lion, said.

The handsome man with a refined demeanor nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Our primary task is to find that strange fire. Let's try to avoid unnecessary conflicts when we do."

The words fell,

He flicked out several pills that emitted a faint glow from his storage ring and slowly floated them toward the others.

A pill that can travel a thousand miles in an instant!
This is a top-grade fifth-rank pill. Very few people in the entire Jia Ma Empire can refine it. Although the name is somewhat exaggerated, if a Dou Wang expert takes it, he can instantly unleash a speed far exceeding the ordinary limit. Even if a Dou Huang expert takes it, his speed can increase by about 10%!
The downside is that it puts a huge strain on the body, and users may experience lethargy after using it, requiring a period of rest to recover.

Upon seeing this, the blond, burly man and the thin old man carefully accepted the pill. Knowing the dangers of their journey, they understood the importance of this pill, a life-saving elixir in a critical moment!
"Sect Master, this is a Grade Six Wind Spirit Pill, which can temporarily enhance the strength of your wind attribute battle qi."

Saying,

The handsome man held a pale blue pill floating in his hand. Its surface had six lines, and it rotated gently in mid-air, as if it were absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Ah."

The tall, slender figure at the head, shrouded entirely in a black robe, calmly accepted it.

The people around him swallowed hard as they looked at the sixth-grade pill, knowing that the other party had gone to great lengths for the strange fire, even willing to take out a sixth-grade pill, which usually had a very low success rate for them.

Sixth-grade pills are only possible to be refined by Gu He in the entire Jia Ma Empire, and even he has an extremely low success rate.

the other side,
The Serpent People's Holy City at Night

The atmosphere in this vast and ancient city of snake people is tense. Under the moonlight, a sense of grimness seems to permeate every corner.

The massive city wall was already tightly shut!
At this moment, on the magnificent city wall, fully armed snake-man guards were patrolling back and forth. Above, a dozen jet-black magical beasts and giant birds were circling back and forth in the sky under the command of the snake-man beast tamers. It seemed that any slight movement would cause them to sound the alarm.

The towers were densely packed with countless arrow towers, as well as dozens of enormous, two-meter-tall, jet-black steel ballistae, each weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, with arrows as thick as bowls! The pale purple arrow tips peeked out from the towers, gleaming with a chilling light under the moonlight.

These dozens of metal ballistae, each weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, require two Great Battle Masters to draw. If a Battle Spirit expert were to be hit, even with defensive Battle Techniques protecting him, he would be blasted into a pile of bloody minced meat in an instant! With dozens of them firing simultaneously, even a Battle King would have to give way!
Beneath the city walls,

The faint sound of sand being blown by the night wind in the distance could be heard, mingling with the crisp sound of the armor of the snake-people city guards clashing under the moonlight.

Even in the tranquil royal palace, Xiao Yue could feel the ominous atmosphere of impending storm in the city.

"It seems tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."

Xiao Yuelai stood by the palace window, her figure seemingly blending into the moonlight, radiating a faint silver glow, making her look like a moon goddess.

The words fell,

She slowly turned around and looked at the graceful and heroic snake woman outside the door, who had been standing there for a whole day.

"Miss Silver Moon, please don't find me annoying. Things have been rather unsettled in the desert lately. Her Majesty the Queen is worried about your safety and has specially sent me to protect you," Flower Snake said, meeting Xiao Yue's gaze.

"Is that so..." Xiao Yue smiled gently, a subtle hint of something deeper flashing in her eyes. She naturally understood that the so-called concern for safety was just a pretense.

after all,

As an outsider, she was always an unstable factor within the snake-people tribe.

"With Miss Silver Moon's talent and ability, she will surely be highly valued once Her Majesty the Queen successfully breaks through to the next level," Flower Snake said earnestly.

Although there was an element of surveillance involved, she did have a certain respect for Xiao Yue in her heart, and if possible, Hua She'er also hoped that Xiao Yue could continue to stay in the snake people.

Xiao Yue didn't respond.

She didn't really want to dwell on this issue, since her real purpose in coming to the Snake People's Holy City wasn't to seek power or status.

She simply treated it as a different kind of journey, and planned to take the strange fire away after Queen Medusa finished using the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. This was also part of her deal with Queen Medusa.

...

"Gama Empire - Ancient River requests an audience with Her Majesty Queen Medusa."

At this time,

A vast sound, carried by battle qi, came from outside the holy city. The sound waves rolled and instantly spread throughout the entire city in the night.

Upon hearing this sound,
The pretty, spirited face of the flower snake in the room immediately turned serious.

"Danwang Guhe of the Jiama Empire? Why would he come?" Hua She'er muttered to herself solemnly, her brows furrowed.

Gu He's strength should not be underestimated. He is a top alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, possessing the strength of a seven-star Dou Wang. Moreover, he has intricate connections with the Yunlan Sect. Such a background is not to be underestimated.

Xiao Yue also looked thoughtfully out the window at the city shrouded in night.

Queen Medusa is about to evolve, and Guhe, as the number one alchemist in the Gama Empire, has arrived, which will undoubtedly add fuel to the already tense atmosphere in the Holy City of the Serpent People.

"It seems that tonight's situation is more complicated than I imagined..." Xiao Yue said softly, a hint of amusement in her voice.

At this time,

New commotions were heard outside the holy city.

"Queen Medusa, I, Guhe, have come here to discuss the matter of the Strange Fire with you. If you can hand over the Strange Fire that you took from the magma, I am willing to pay any price!" Guhe's voice echoed in the night sky once again. The voice, carrying powerful battle qi, traveled far and wide, and could be heard even dozens of miles away.

at this time,

Hundreds of meters outside the city walls in the night sky,

A huge fourth-order flying magical beast hovered there, and several figures were also hovering not far in front of the beast. The terrifying aura emanated from these people.

The already highly vigilant snake-man guards became even more alarmed upon seeing this, gripping their weapons even tighter. Dozens of metal ballistae on the city wall, powerful enough to terrify even a Douling expert, were pointed directly at the sky.
