Ice Emperor Hai Bodong also adopted an attacking stance, as if any danger were to arise, he would immediately strike down Queen Medusa.
Medusa smiled indifferently, "No need to panic, this King merely thought of something interesting. Come with me."
With that, Queen Medusa turned around, her enchanting figure transforming into a ball of red light and disappearing into the night.
Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, however, spoke up, "Little fellow, Queen Medusa is inherently cruel. The human experts who have died by her hand are countless. It's best to be careful to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Don't worry, she wouldn't dare to play tricks on me. Let's go."
Jiang Cheng's voice had just fallen when the latter vanished into thin air. Even Hai Bodong couldn't sense any trace of his aura, which greatly moved him. After decades of cultivation, his power was no match for a mere Confucian Sage. It was truly unbelievable... The Medusa Tribe.
Upon receiving the news, the Eight Great Leaders appeared almost simultaneously. Seeing the human beside the Queen, they gnashed their teeth in anger.
They naturally recognized who this fellow was: the man who, eight years ago, trespassed into the Snake-People Clan's sacred pool, spied on the Queen bathing, severely injured the Eight Great Leaders, and shattered the Snake-People Clan's Fusion Skill, the Five Snake Poison Fiend Seal!
"Little fellow, you actually still dare to come to the Snake-People Clan. You're truly bold." The speaker was a charming woman. Her long hair clung to her fair shoulders, drops of liquid clinging to her delicate skin, then sliding down her shoulders and over her incredibly alluring slender waist.
This person was Yue Mei, one of Medusa's subordinates, and one of the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake-People Clan's tribes, possessing an enchanting figure and charming beauty.
Yue Mei's lips curved into an arc, saying, "Your Majesty, we've arrived~"
Queen Medusa nodded, but she did not let the Eight Great Leaders face the enemy with her because Jiang Cheng had just said that he had already reached the Dou Sheng Realm.
Although the truth was unknown, they had to be wary. If he truly was a Dou Sheng Expert, then offending him would not be a wise move.
It might even lead to the destruction of the Snake-People Clan.
Mo Ba Si shrugged, the two great sabers in his hands already thirsting for blood, as if they could taste the opponent's blood at any moment.
Ice Emperor Hai Bodong arrived late, also noticing the gathering of the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake-People Clan. His expression immediately turned solemn. The combined strength of several Snake-People Clan leaders would be troublesome even for a Dou Huang expert.
"Your Majesty, are we not making a move?"
The Grand Elder of the Snake-People Clan, Yin Shi, strode forward. As an Elder who had lived longer than Medusa, Yin Shi had assisted two generations of Medusa Queens. His status was quite high, second only to Her Majesty the Queen in the tribe, and he was the most loyal Dou King expert.
Even the Queen sometimes had to consider his thoughts.
"Don't act yet, and none of you are to make the first move. Anyone who disobeys this King's command will be executed without mercy!"
Grand Elder Yin Shi narrowed his eyes, still respecting Her Majesty the Queen's choice, and stood silently in place, observing the human expert before him.
The scene of Jiang Cheng defeating all Eight Great Leaders of the Snake-People Clan by himself back then was vivid in their memories. Even seeing his figure now, they felt a hint of fear.
"Now, can you take out what you promised earlier?"
Medusa said indifferently. Clearly, she wanted to first obtain the seventh-grade form transformation pill and the dou zong pill.
Hai Bodong responded coldly, "You want Medicinal Pills before even producing the Heavenly Flame? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Hearing the words 'Heavenly Flame,' the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake-People Clan all cast curious glances, wondering when the Queen had obtained a Heavenly Flame.
One must know that the violent energy of a Heavenly Flame was too terrifying. The Snake-People Clan's Bloodline was yin and cold, and what they feared most were Heavenly Flames with scorching heat. Wouldn't the Queen be afraid of being burned by the Heavenly Flame by doing this?
Queen Medusa paid no mind to the others' gazes and continued, "This King does not trust human words. Only after seeing the real thing will this King hand over the Heavenly Flame to you."
"Moreover, with your strength, you probably don't need to fear this King going back on her word, do you?" Medusa said with a smile, "What this King cares about more is whether you can produce the Medicinal Pills you promised earlier."
Ice Emperor Hai Bodong wanted to say more, but Jiang Cheng stopped him. He indeed wasn't afraid of Queen Medusa reneging on her word. Even if she truly broke her promise, he could search her Soul to find the location of the Heavenly Flame.
However, Jiang Cheng had no intention of doing so. After all, he and Medusa had met a few times, and he had even seen her body. To then use a Soul-searching technique would indeed be somewhat ungentlemanly.
"Alright, here you go then."
With a wave of Jiang Cheng's right hand, several Medicinal Pills exuding a rich medicinal fragrance abruptly appeared before Queen Medusa's eyes. The surrounding Dou King experts were all dumbfounded. If they weren't mistaken, this really was a seventh-grade form transformation pill!
Everyone swallowed their saliva, clearly all wanting to taste the flavor of the seventh-grade form transformation pill.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's decisive action, Queen Medusa no longer delayed and directly told him the location of the Heavenly Flame. Whether he could obtain it or not depended on his own strength.
Jiang Cheng naturally didn't ask too many questions about the specific details of the Green Lotus Core Flame, but instead followed Queen Medusa to a special underground world.
This place was located directly beneath the Snake-People Clan's palace and had an anti-flight barrier; no one could fly once they arrived here.
However, Jiang Cheng was unaffected. As a Dou Sheng, if he were to be stopped by a barrier set up by Queen Medusa, how could he still be worthy of the title Confucian Sage?!
Due to other reasons, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong remained on the surface, wary of the actions of the Eight Great Leaders of the Snake-People Clan.
Queen Medusa walked at the forefront, swaying her slender waist that drove all men mad, and her buttocks covered in colorful scales.
"What, still looking?" Queen Medusa suddenly stopped, turned her head, and said, "Control your eyes and your mouth."
"Heh heh, I just thought of something, you're overthinking it."
Jiang Cheng walked side-by-side with Queen Medusa, a faint scent of rose petals wafting towards him. Despite Queen Medusa's icy personality, she was very particular about her body.
(T/N: And you call yourself a Confucian sage, no self control at all. Tsk tsk another hypocritical MC)
Every day, she would use special flower petals to bathe her delicate body, ensuring that this fragrance would always remain, so much so that it could be smelled from a hundred meters away.
Taking a deep breath, it was refreshing.
Jiang Cheng fanned the folding fan in his hand and smiled indifferently, "Your Snake-People Clan has been in the Tagor Desert for thousands of years. Every generation of Medusa has yearned to enter the Dou Zong Realm to free the Snake-People Clan from their predicament. And you, devouring the Heavenly Flame, is for the sake of the Snake-People Clan, isn't it?"
Medusa chuckled, "So what? The heights that previous Medusas failed to reach, I may not necessarily fail. The Snake-People Clan will witness my determination and everything I sacrifice for them."
