Chapter 303 Confrontation
At this moment, many powerful men from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan flashed in the sky above the Netherworld Snake Vein. A terrifying aura burst out from each of their bodies. For a moment, even the cold wind under the Netherworld Snake Vein stopped the appearance of his tribesmen, Yao Xiaotian, who was beaten all over, breathed a sigh of relief and turned back into human form under the protection of the snake guards.
"Chief, are you okay?" said the old man with a poisonous snake coiled on his shoulder as he took out a few healing pills from his ring and handed them to the other party.
Yao Xiaotian didn't say anything. He swallowed all the pills in his hand. After his injuries gradually recovered, he said, "I won't die..."
At the same time, Dou Qi transmitted a message: "Great Elder, take down these people as soon as possible. They have released this useless person Yao Ming!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder's expression changed drastically, but he quickly calmed down and looked down, where he saw Yao Ming's figure.
"Damn it! Why was this useless guy released? We should have killed him right away..."
Just as the two were talking, a cold voice suddenly sounded from below.
"Are these all the strong men of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan? They are so weak!"
Zi Yan slowly raised her head, casually glanced at the crowd in the sky, and spoke with disdain, as if the person in front of her was not one of the three major clans in the Warcraft world, but the Gabi family of Wutan City.
The voice was not loud, but there was no weakling among those present. Zi Yan's contemptuous words were clearly heard by everyone.
All of a sudden, all the members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan turned their angry gazes towards Zi Yan. If looks could kill, the latter would have been chopped into pieces long ago.
Although the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's bloodline is becoming increasingly impure due to their reckless reproduction and their strength is far inferior to that of the Ancient Dragon and Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, they still have reason to be proud of themselves compared to ordinary monsters!
"Who are you? How dare you slander my clan like this!"
The Great Elder's face darkened and he shouted in a cold voice, if he had not been concerned about the old man who could beat Yao Xiaotian to death, he would have captured the old man long ago.
"Heh, you don't deserve to know my name!" Zi Yan glanced at the old man with disdain. She knew that it was the latter who injured Xiao Yun when he first came to the Beast Domain.
With such behavior, no matter whether the other party is loyal or not, in Zi Yan's heart, he is already a dead person!
The cold voice was heard again, causing many powerful men of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan to become even more angry.
"Great Elder, why are you still wasting time talking to them?"
Yao Xiaotian, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face and a crazy look in his eyes. He shouted angrily, "Elders! I order you to lead the Nether Serpent Guards to form a Ten Thousand Snakes Formation and keep all invaders in the Nether Serpent Veins!"
"Yes!"
"Underworld Serpent Guards! Form a formation!"
As Yao Xiaotian finished speaking, many elders shouted in unison, without any hesitation, they dispersed from the sky and quickly formed a formation.
Soon after, rows of soldiers in black armor rushed out from all over the mountains. Together with many others, they formed a strange formation, trapping Xiao Yun and his group.
The Ten Thousand Snakes Formation is a clan-stabilizing formation passed down by the Nine Netherworld Python Clan from ancient times!
Even though none of the elders and soldiers who formed this formation had reached the level of a Dou Sheng, this formation was enough to directly resist ordinary Dou Sheng powerhouses!
"Your Majesty, do you want to call the Dragon Armor Army?" Looking at the densely packed black-armored soldiers around him, Qingshan asked with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
The Nether Serpent Guards seemed to be in perfect harmony, and each of them was an elite force, but they were far inferior to the Dragon Armor Army of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
"It's not time yet..." Zi Yan shook her head, turned to look at Yao Ming, and said in a calm voice: "Yao Clan Leader, it's your turn!"
At this moment, Yao Ming, after being restored by the elixir, is no longer the skeleton he was before, but rather extremely sturdy.
"Yes! Lady Zi Yan!"
After hearing Zi Yan's words, Yao Ming hurriedly bowed in reply, then straightened up and flashed out from below.
He understood that how many elite members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan would be left today depended on his face!
Yao Ming was seen floating in the air, looking directly at the elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and shouted loudly: "Elders, do you still remember this face of mine?"
The voice echoed throughout the world, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to Yao Xiaotian, all the elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan present were stunned.
After a long while, some elderly people exclaimed in disbelief: "Chief Yao Ming? How is it possible! Didn't you die because you went astray during your cultivation?"
"Chief Yao Ming? Isn't that the previous chief?"
"That's right, he is the biological elder brother of Chief Xiaotian! Didn't the clan say that he had fallen hundreds of years ago?"
"Patriarch Yao Ming was the most talented person in our tribe. If he hadn't died, the position of patriarch would not have been passed down to Yao Xiaotian!"
Everyone was talking at once, and there seemed to be some conspiracy behind the discussion.
"enough!"
Hearing the whispers that echoed through the sky, Yao Xiaotian's face twitched and he said angrily: "Can't you see! My eldest brother has already died! This person was transformed by the invader!
The purpose is to alienate our clan! Elders, why don't you act quickly! Kill him!"
After hearing this somewhat far-fetched reason, some elders looked at each other, hesitating to take action.
"Damn it! I should have killed them all!"
Seeing the hesitation of many elders, the chief elder, the old venomous snake, cursed inwardly. Since these people couldn't do it, he would be the first to do it!
Otherwise, when Yao Ming tells the truth, the situation will be unfavorable to them!
Thinking of this, the old poisonous snake figure flashed and disappeared in the sky. When he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of Yao Ming.
"Big poisonous palm with dead leaves!"
As soon as he made a move, it was a killing move, and he was determined to kill Yao Ming on the spot. However, facing the pair of palms of the old man, Yao Ming's eyes flashed with disdain, and he also waved his palms.
"Underworld Palm!"
When the two palms collided, a terrifying strong wind spread out in all directions, directly cutting the surrounding mountains down again.
Under the powerful force, the two men could not help but retreat backwards, and only stopped when they were thousands of feet away.
"Great Elder, I didn't expect you to be so anxious, but do you think I will be as stupid as before?"
Yao Ming sneered. After a period of recovery, although he has not yet fully returned to his peak, he is not in a state where he can be killed by the opponent with just one palm!
"It's true that his appearance can be changed, and it can't prove his identity as a clan leader, but it can't be faked!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Ming's mouth suddenly opened, and a stream of black light flashed out, finally turning into a black scepter half a meter long, which he held in his hand.
The scepter was completely black, with two lifelike poisonous snakes entwined on the top. Between the two snakes was a fist-sized black bead, from which traces of cold light permeated.
"My elders, can this scepter be transformed?"
Yao Ming shouted coldly, and injected a wisp of fighting spirit into the scepter in his hand. Suddenly, the shadow of a black snake appeared behind him!
As the black snake's phantom appeared, all the people from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan present felt a pressure coming from their blood.
"It's the Nine Netherworld Staff! It's the Nine Netherworld Staff that has been lost for hundreds of years!"
"This is the clan leader's token! According to clan rules, whoever can subdue the Dark Staff will be the clan leader of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan!"
The expressions of many elders changed again, and there was a hint of fanaticism in their eyes as they looked towards the Dark Staff.
This Dark Staff has more than just a symbolic meaning to them now. It is rumored that the Dark Pearl contains the pure bloodline of the Nine Netherworld Python royal family!
If they could obtain this bloodline, their clan would be able to continue for a while longer!
"Damn it! No wonder we didn't find the Nine Netherworld Staff. It turns out that this guy swallowed it!"
The Great Elder cursed in his heart, and regretted that he had listened to the words of the idiot Yao Xiaotian and did not kill Yao Ming directly. Otherwise, so many troubles would not have arisen now.
"My fellow elders, I didn't die because of infatuation during my practice. It was that beast Yao Xiaotian! Together with the great elder, they set up a vicious plan to trap me in the underworld!"
Yao Ming held the scepter in his hand and pointed at Yao Xiaotian in the sky. Endless hatred burst out from his eyes and he said sternly, "Hundreds of years! I have been waiting for this moment every day! Yao Xiaotian! I will tear you into pieces today!"
The roar resounded throughout the world, and the coldness and resentment in it shocked many people present.
"Is this the truth?! No wonder the Yao Ming clan leader, who was a genius of our clan, was rumored to have died from infatuation! It turns out that it was you two who did it!"
After hearing Yao Ming's words, some elderly elders in the crowd cursed angrily, staring at Yao Xiaotian and the other two.
"Nonsense! Yao Ming, I think you have really gone astray in your cultivation! How dare you tell such a lie!"
The old man's face changed, and he said gloomily: "As the great elder, I have worked diligently for the tribe for many years! How could I do something to murder you!"
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the others and said in a deep voice: "Elders, you cannot believe one side's words on anything!
You should know how the Nine Netherworld Python Clan has fared under the leadership of Chief Xiaotian and this old man over the years!"
The words of the old venomous snake resonated with some people, and some elders who were close to Yao Xiaotian also shouted in unison: "Yao Ming, although you are the former clan leader, clan leader Xiaotian has been the clan leader for hundreds of years!
We are all from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Fighting each other will only reduce the strength of our clan. Why don’t you hand over the Nine Netherworld Staff to Clan Leader Xiaotian…”
"You want me to hand over the scepter to that beast? You're dreaming! When they tried to murder me in the past, did they remember that we were from the same clan!?"
Before the group of people could finish, Yao Ming interrupted them with a sharp voice. His eyes swept over the Great Elder, and finally stopped at the many elders. He said in a deep voice:
"I am too lazy to talk to you any more! My fellow elders, now that I, Yao Ming, have returned, I will definitely lead my clan back to its peak!
Those who believe in me, Yao Ming, must come behind me! Otherwise, you will be regarded as a traitor and will bear the consequences yourself! "
“Bullshit! I am the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan!” Yao Xiaotian’s face was grim as he growled, “Anyone who dares to go over there is the real traitor!”
After hearing what the two said, the faces of the people in the sky changed. After a while of thinking, about one-third of the crowd flashed behind Yao Ming.
However, seeing this situation, Yao Ming was not happy. Most of the people who came were elderly people, while the younger generation was almost still standing where they were.
"Everyone! I, Yao Ming, am the real clan leader! I am the one who leads my clan to the pinnacle! If you don't come, it will be too late to regret it later!"
Yao Ming was extremely anxious. These were the backbone of his Nine Netherworld Python Clan! How could they all be blinded by the beast Yao Xiaotian?
“Hahaha!” On the other hand, Yao Xiaotian had a smug look on his face at this moment, and said cheerfully: “Regret? I think it’s you who will regret it!”
Now he still has two-thirds of the people left on his side. As for the overall strength, it has only decreased slightly. With the terrain of the Nether Snake Vein, he can still crush Yao Xiaotian and his group!
The same thing happened to the old man, with murderous intent boiling in his eyes. This time, he would never make the same mistake again! Whether it was Yao Ming or the group of elders loyal to Yao Ming, they all had to die!
"Everyone! Trust me, Yao Ming! I won't harm you..."
Yao Ming wanted to give more advice, but was interrupted by Zi Yan with a wave of her hand.
"Enough, these people, enough!"
Zi Yan looked indifferent as she slowly walked towards the sky. She swept her eyes over the people on Yao Xiaotian's side and said calmly, "That's it! Chief Yao Ming, I've seen enough of this drama!"
"Yes! Lady Zi Yan!" Upon hearing this, Yao Ming opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he did not say it and bowed.
"Hmm? Who is your Excellency?"
Seeing that Yao Ming, who was extremely ferocious before, was now respectfully bowing to a young woman, Yao Xiaotian and the others suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Oh! You are not worthy to know my name!" Zi Yan was still as disdainful as ever. A ray of purple-gold light flashed in her eyes and her voice was extremely majestic.
"Dragon Armor Army, destroy them!"
