Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

Soon, she saw the underground passage that Xiao Yang had entered.

The highly skilled and daring Queen Medusa entered directly inside.

As she went deeper underground, the temperature began to rise slowly.

This further confirmed her suspicions.

Sure enough, this is the birthplace of a strange fire!

At this moment, Queen Medusa still held a sliver of hope.

She could only pray that the strange fire was still there.

After all, subduing a strange fire is extremely dangerous.

Even she could get hurt if she wasn't careful.

Soon, Queen Medusa entered the underground world.

Looking at the lava lake in front of her, she couldn't help but frown.

The snake-people are predominantly cold and yin, and even though she is a fire-attribute cultivator, she would find it very uncomfortable in such a place.

She began to use secret techniques to try and detect the traces of the strange fire.

However, in the end, they gained nothing.

Just then, she suddenly sensed the presence of a snake-like magical beast.

The Serpent People are known for infusing their newborn members with the souls of serpentine magical beasts.

Therefore, they are very sensitive to snake-like magical beasts.

Medusa was overjoyed to sense the presence of serpentine magical beasts within the magma.

Without the slightest hesitation, she condensed a battle aura armor on her body and jumped directly into the lava lake.

Medusa quickly found the serpentine monster in the lava; it turned out to be a two-headed fire spirit serpent!

After forcibly subduing the two-headed fire spirit snake (physically), she immediately began asking it for clues about the strange fire.

This two-headed fire spirit snake is the one that Qinglin enslaved in the original story.

As the queen of the snake people, communicating with snake-like magical beasts is quite simple for her.

Soon, the two-headed fire spirit serpent, emboldened by Queen Medusa's power, obediently took her to the space where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame originally resided.

Because they lost the Azure Lotus and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Therefore, this cyan space is slowly shrinking at this moment.

Upon seeing the blue lotus root, Medusa, who had already thoroughly researched the information on strange fires, immediately knew that this must be the place where the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire was born.

As the nineteenth ranked Strange Flame, it is relatively less dangerous.

It's safe to say that it's perfect for her to evolve!

However, Medusa's expression turned grim as she looked at the remaining roots within the cyan space.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has been taken away!

Her breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm shattered the Serpent People's hopes of moving away from the Tagor Desert!

Although it was expected, Medusa was still somewhat disappointed.

After sighing, she returned to the lava.

She knew that two different flames could not be born in the same place at the same time.

There shouldn't be any other strange fire in this lava.

Chapter 129 Queen Medusa Arrives!

However, just as Queen Medusa returned to the ground, she suddenly sensed a very faint presence.

Although this time the aura was very faint, so faint that Queen Medusa almost couldn't sense it.

However, because this aura was relatively close this time, it was still detected by Queen Medusa.

Fortunately, she is on the ground now. If she were still under that terrifying lava, surrounded by dense fire energy, she might not have been able to sense it.

Without hesitation, she flew directly towards the location of that aura.

She estimated the location of that aura, and it turned out to be in Stone Desert City, dozens of miles away!

She guessed that some powerful figure must have taken the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and then returned to Stone Desert City to begin refining it.

Soon, she discovered that the aura had disappeared again.

Queen Medusa was starting to get anxious.

She must find the strange fire!

If the other party successfully refines it, then things will be bad.

Without hesitation, she spread her wings and flew quickly toward Stone Desert City.

After flying above Stone Desert City, she did not go down directly.

Because she could no longer sense the location of the strange fire.

Queen Medusa used a secret technique of the Serpent People to temporarily transform her serpent tail into legs.

The priority now is to find the strange fire.

She guessed that this strange fire was most likely found by an alchemist.

After all, alchemists are the ones who crave the most exotic flames.

Generally speaking, alchemists are relatively weak in combat, and they are likely to be protected by powerful guards.

The first person she thought of was Guhe of the Jiama Empire.

Therefore, Yun Yun of the Yunlan Sect is very likely here.

Although Queen Medusa was not afraid of Yun Yun.

However, it would be bad if Guhe escaped with the strange fire by accident.

She planned to go into the city first to investigate.

She took out a huge black cloak and covered her curvaceous body.

A thin veil was also placed over her face.

After putting on a simple disguise, she went straight into the city.

She knew some information about Stone Desert City.

The Serpent People actively gather information about the cities in these cities in the Tagor Desert.

She remembered that the more powerful forces in Stone Desert City were the Sand Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group, among others.

The Sand Mercenary Group is probably the strongest among them.

If Guhe is looking for help, he will likely seek assistance from the most powerful Sand Mercenary Group.

Therefore, Queen Medusa did not hesitate and went directly to the Storm Mercenary Group.

……

Windshark is the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group.

He was feeling somewhat uneasy after hearing the information reported by his subordinates.

He had sensed something when the Mo Tie mercenary group went out to search for something outside Shi Mo City.

He assumed it was a mercenary mission posted by someone, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Sand Mercenary Group also followed.

Moreover, a conflict broke out between the two sides.

After learning that the Desert Iron Mercenary Group had recently gained an additional alchemist, he couldn't wait for the Sand Mercenary Group and the Desert Iron Mercenary Group to fight each other.

In this way, both sides might suffer heavy losses, ultimately benefiting himself.

However, the outcome was unexpected.

The Sand Mercenary Group has been wiped out!

Upon learning of this, Wind Shark felt a sense of fear rising within him.

He feared that after the Desert Iron Mercenary Group took over the Sand Mercenary Group's legacy, it would annex his Storm Mercenary Group.

This possibility is quite high.

Therefore, he has already begun to have several trusted confidants collect and organize the Storm Mercenary Group's assets, preparing to flee at any time.

Just then, a figure wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared in his room!

A strong sense of fear suddenly rose in Wind Shark's heart.

He had absolutely no idea how the other person got in.

Just as his back was soaked with cold sweat, the man in the black robe spoke.

"Tell me about the major events that have recently occurred in Stone Desert City."

"Also, do you know which people from Stone Desert City have traveled to the desert dozens of miles to the southeast?"

A cold female voice rang out.

His voice sounded somewhat lazy and indifferent, and it was very pleasant to listen to.

However, Wind Shark dared not entertain any such thoughts at this moment.

"M-Sir, just now, the Sand Mercenary Group was wiped out by the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."

"A new alchemist has appeared in the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."

"Ever since that alchemist joined, the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group have been searching for something in the southeast direction of Shi Mo City."

"It wasn't until recently that they found what they were looking for."

"The Sand Mercenary Group wanted to seize the opportunity and, incidentally, annex the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."
