Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Ao Quan's voice echoed between heaven and earth.

In an instant, everyone fell silent. The people who were worshipping the river god stopped what they were doing, all looking up blankly with doubt in their eyes.

Who is the River God calling to?

Could it be that there are other immortals besides us mortals here?

Many people secretly turned their heads and looked around, but couldn't see anything.

Everywhere you look, you see only curious glances from other people.

A moment later, Ao Quan, slightly displeased, opened his mouth again and roared:

"Lin Xuan, didn't you make a pact with that prefect to destroy me, this false god? Now that I've come to you, why are you hiding like a coward?"

"Are you really a turtle that has become a spirit?"

Ao Quan was just joking. He had already tested the waters with his dragon might and found that there were no monsters at the festival.

Even if other races of monsters possess some supernatural abilities that allow them to evade the dragon's detection, turtles certainly cannot.

As a species of scaled creature, the tortoise cannot hide its true nature when facing the might of the dragon.

At this moment, the people present finally realized what was going on.

So the river god was looking for that suicidal guy? That guy was lucky; his name actually reached the river god's ears. He was incredibly fortunate!

As for how the river god knew of Lin Xuan's existence, the people didn't find it strange.

The river god is also a god, and gods are certainly omniscient!

Inside the carriage, Wei Wen's vision went black, and he collapsed onto the carriage.

Even though Ao Quan had withdrawn his divine power and was now able to move freely, he still couldn't speak.

Or rather, even if he rushed out now to warn Lin Xuan, what good would it do?

"So that river god wasn't a monster at all, but a divine dragon! How come I never noticed before?"

Wei Wen smiled bitterly; his clothes, which had been soaked with sweat not long ago, clung tightly to his body.

The wind was strong by the river, blowing in through the carriage curtains, making Wei Wen shiver and feel cold all over. He was filled with regret and fear.

"I wonder if the dragon will spare my life afterward? Probably! After all, I've heard people say that dragons are symbols of emperors, and my brother-in-law is the emperor, so he's probably connected to dragons!"

"For the sake of this relationship, the River God... oh no, the Dragon God! The Dragon God will definitely let me off this time!"

Wei Wen muttered to himself in a very low voice, so soft that even if you stood right next to him, you wouldn't be able to hear him.

The steward outside the carriage was even less likely to hear it.

The steward was also sweating profusely, eager to receive Wei Wen's orders.

If Wei Wen gave the order for them to turn around and run away right now, the steward would still obey.

Although doing so would likely lead to no good and would probably only result in certain death, the butler wouldn't consider that much.

However, the steward waited for a long time and only heard very faint sounds coming from the carriage, like someone talking, but also like the sound of the wind.

He hesitated, scratching his head, thinking, "Does the governor still believe Lin Xuan and think he can defeat the River God?"

"If that's the case, then the prefect is far too... far too naive!"

The butler sighed heavily, unsure of what to say.

The river god was perched in the sky, and even without looking at the tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals behind him, one could feel the powerful pressure emanating from the river god himself.

It wasn't just the housekeeper who thought this way; everyone else felt the same way.

Seeing that Lin Xuan had not shown up for a long time, they all curled their lip in disdain.

Although they dared not act presumptuously in front of the river god and did not whisper among themselves, their thoughts were very similar.

"If Lin Xuan still hasn't shown up, he's probably already scared enough to wet his pants!"

Your local reputation continues to decline, and you are no longer able to enter this town.

To restore your reputation, you can purchase value-added services. The purchase link is...

[System error, unable to purchase!]

Lin Xuan leaned against the inner wall of the float, a slight smile playing on his lips, but he still didn't reply.

Ao Quan in the sky was of the same level as the Jinghai Dragon King, but Lin Xuan was not afraid of him.

He's just worried about something else now.

What if the tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind Ao Quan saw that Ao Quan had been defeated and attacked all at once?

Lin Xuan doesn't have any area-of-effect damage skills yet, so dealing with so many small fry is a big problem.

In the game instance, he didn't need to worry about these things.

Regardless of how many minions the dungeon boss has in the background setting, these minions will only play a role before the boss battle begins, acting as obstacles.

However, once the boss battle ends, no matter how many monsters are left, they will scatter like birds and beasts.

Unfortunately, this is not a game.

The last time Lin Xuan devoured the Jinghai Dragon King at the Jinghai Dragon Palace, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside the palace turned around and fled like birds and beasts. This was just an accident and cannot be taken as the norm.

"It seems the methods we couldn't use last time will finally have to be used this time." A glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

At that moment, Ao Quan finally couldn't hold back any longer and swung his dragon claws, reaching out to grab Lin Xuan from several miles away.

The people looked at each other, wondering what the river god was up to.

But the next moment they understood, and they all opened their mouths wide.

It turned out that the claw grew larger and larger in the wind, traversing a long distance and rushing straight to the float.

This is completely illogical.

As the claws grew larger, the details became clearer, with the scales on the dragon claws appearing in minute detail, like armor.

But this was no ordinary armor; instead, it consisted of claws that stretched for miles.

The common people, upon even slightly considering the weight of those claws, felt a wave of dizziness and thought to themselves:

"If that claw lands, it'll probably tear the earth apart, won't it? How will I survive then?"

The common people are afraid, let alone those powerful cultivators.

This River God Festival attracted not only the elite troops of the Prefectural Governor's Office, but also almost all the cultivators in the city to come and watch the spectacle.

Upon seeing this, they turned and ran, not daring to linger for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

Regardless of where they are from, cultivators may have average skills, but they all have similar insight and know how to protect themselves.

Finally, the dragon's claw approached the float.

At this point, the dragon claw had expanded to its maximum extent, stretching for hundreds of meters, almost like a small metal mountain that had fallen from the sky.

A blue dragon claw descended from the sky, exuding a terrifying aura.

In comparison, the floats looked so small, as if they would be smashed to pieces at any moment.

Boom!

The enormous sound was deafening, accompanied by a strong gust of wind that swept away into the distance.

Countless objects were swept up by the strong wind and flew through the air.

Even many lighter people couldn't control their bodies and were blown backward until they bumped into others and barely stopped.

Instantly, cries and screams rang out, plunging the river god festival into chaos.

In the sky, although the cultivators were also blown by the strong winds, they were still able to barely keep their balance.

They stared at the spot where the dragon's claw had landed, watching the billowing smoke, and shook their heads, thinking that Lin Xuan was doomed this time.

I just don't know what will become of Prefect Wei.

But before they could say anything, Ao Quan's expression changed drastically, and he let out a roar.

The cultivators were shocked and turned to look, but before they could see what was happening, they saw Ao Quan's dragon claw suddenly retract.

Immediately afterwards, a dragon-shaped creature suddenly appeared from the thick smoke.

Its entire body was black, and its scales also shone with a metallic luster. Its body was thick and strong, and one claw was raised above the dragon's head, directly facing Ao Quan's dragon claw.

The cultivators instantly understood and cried out in alarm in low voices:

"So Lin Xuan is also a dragon?"
