"You... who are you?"

Queen Medusa forced herself to suppress her fear and tried to keep her voice calm.

Zhu Chen didn't answer, he just looked at her quietly.

Queen Medusa felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

She had lived for hundreds of years and seen countless powerful figures, but never had anyone posed such a strong sense of crisis to her.

escape!
This was the thought that flashed through her mind in an instant.

Without the slightest hesitation, Queen Medusa transformed into a streak of purple light and shot off into the distance!

She didn't even care about her own people or the war; all she wanted was to escape this terrifying young man in white as quickly as possible!

however……

She had flown less than a hundred feet when suddenly everything went blurry before her eyes.

Zhu Chen's figure had appeared in front of her at some point, standing with his hands behind his back, as if he had always been there.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Zhu Chen spoke calmly, his gaze still intently scrutinizing Queen Medusa.

It has to be said that Queen Medusa's figure is truly incredible.

No wonder Xu Xian loved snakes so much!

"presumptuous……"

Queen Medusa's pupils constricted sharply, and she retaliated with a palm strike!
Purple battle aura condensed into a huge palm print in front of Zhu Chen!

This was Queen Medusa's all-out attack, enough to severely injure a powerhouse of the same level!
But Zhu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids.

He simply took a step forward.

"--boom!!!"

An invisible aura suddenly erupted from his body!

The purple palm print shattered and vanished like a bubble the moment it touched this aura.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, terrifying pressure descended as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking, directly suppressing Queen Medusa to the spot!
Queen Medusa felt as if a colossal mountain was pressing down on her, and she couldn't even move a finger.

She desperately tried to activate her internal fighting spirit, but found that her proud four-star Dou Zong cultivation was like an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of this pressure, powerless to resist!

"This...this is..."

Queen Medusa's eyes widened in disbelief!

He casually suppressed a four-star Dou Zong, leaving the opponent powerless to resist...

What level of skill is this?
Dou Zun?

Or... an even higher Dou Sheng?

A deep sense of despair welled up in Queen Medusa's heart.

She finally realized that she had encountered an existence that was completely insurmountable today.

"I never expected that such a small empire as Jiama would have a master like you. I have fallen into your hands today, I have truly lost. Do with me as you please..."

Queen Medusa gritted her teeth, her eyes showing no fear, but rather a stubborn flame burning within them.

As the queen of the snake people, she has ruled the snake people for hundreds of years. What storms haven't she seen?

Even if I die, I will never grovel or beg for mercy!
Looking at Queen Medusa's unyielding gaze, Zhu Chen couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration.

Queen Medusa was indeed as described in the original work: cold, noble, fierce, and stubborn.

She is a woman of principle.

"Kill you?"

Zhu Chen smiled faintly: "If I wanted to kill you, you would have been dead just now."

Queen Medusa was taken aback.

She didn't know why Zhu Chen was saying these things to her.
Zhu Chen withdrew his oppressive aura and looked calmly at Queen Medusa, saying, "I ask you, why did your snake-people clan join forces with the Izumo Empire to besiege the Gama Empire?"

Queen Medusa felt the pressure on her body disappear and breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she still looked at Zhu Chen warily: "My snake people have lived in the Tagor Desert for generations. Resources are scarce and the environment is harsh. I just want to find a more suitable place for my people to live. As for the Izumo Empire... I don't know why they attacked the Gama Empire. I am only cooperating with them temporarily, each getting what they need."

Zhu Chen stared into Queen Medusa's eyes, scanning them with his divine sense to confirm that she was not lying.

Queen Medusa was indeed fighting only for the survival of the snake people, not out of malice.

"There's another question: how did you break through to the Dou Zong level?"

Zhu Chen continued, "As far as I know, you were searching for the Azure Lotus Core Flame in hopes of using it to evolve your bloodline and break through to the Dou Zong realm. But you didn't obtain the Azure Lotus Core Flame, so why did you still break through?"

Queen Medusa's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this.

She never expected that Zhu Chen would know that she was searching for the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.
This is her biggest secret!
"About half a year ago, a severely injured soul escaped to the territory of my snake-people clan. That soul carried many pills, one of which happened to be able to help me break through my cultivation..."

“I killed him and took his elixir.”

Faced with the unfathomable existence of Zhu Chen, Queen Medusa dared not hide anything and could only truthfully recount her past experiences.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chen's heart stirred.

A severely injured soul?
Carrying medicinal pills?

Could it be someone from the Soul Palace?
The people of the Soul Palace do indeed frequently appear in spirit form, and they are skilled at refining various elixirs.

If a powerful member of the Soul Hall is severely injured in battle and their soul escapes, and happens to end up in the territory of the Snake People, Queen Medusa could take advantage of the situation...

That's possible.

After all, the last time they ambushed and killed the Soul Clan was at Canaan Academy.

Canaan Academy is located in the Black Corner Region, which is not far from the desert where the Serpent People live.

"Do you know the origin of that soul?"

Zhu Chen looked at Queen Medusa and continued to ask.

Queen Medusa shook her head: "I don't know. He didn't have anything to prove his identity, and I didn't ask any further questions. Since he wanted to heal on my territory, he has to pay the price."

Zhu Chen nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Regardless of who that spirit is, it's already dead, so it doesn't matter.

He looked at Queen Medusa again, his gaze scrutinizing her: "I can understand that you are fighting for your people, but you shouldn't have attacked the Gama Empire."

Queen Medusa lowered her head and remained silent.

She knew she had lost, and lost miserably.

Saying anything at this moment would be superfluous.

"I can give you a chance."

Zhu Chen suddenly said.

Queen Medusa suddenly raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by wariness.

"What opportunity?"

Zhu Chen looked at her and slowly said, "Submit to me, and you and your snake-people will be under my command. I will provide you with a better living environment and help you improve your cultivation."

Queen Medusa was stunned.

She never expected that the boy would make such a demand.

Surrender?

She was the queen of the snake people, ruling over them for hundreds of years, yet she never bowed her head to anyone!

But if they don't submit...

Queen Medusa looked into Zhu Chen's calm, still eyes and felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

reject?

Does she still have the right to refuse?

Moreover, if he could follow such a powerful figure, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for the snake-people...
