章節 196: Chapter 196: Show Me
Everything happened in a flash.
By the time Yue Mei regained her senses, the grand formation that had been troubling the Snake People Tribe had already been broken by Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu was so powerful that he single-handedly scared off several Dou Emperors from the Misty Cloud Sect.
This scene seemed extremely unreal to Yue Mei.
How did such a powerful human emerge without her having any information about him?
How did the queen come to know him?
Could it be related to that period when she disappeared?
Various questions swirled in her mind.
In the great city of the Snake People Tribe, the fully armed Snake People warriors on the city walls looked bewildered and confused.
In the blink of an eye, why did the Misty Cloud Sect people all retreat?
Just a second ago, they were still fighting desperately.
Several powerful Snake People successively ascended the city wall, their gazes sweeping around.
The reinforcements arrived too mysteriously.
They had received no prior notice, and the other party's action was like a thunderbolt, yet they did not stop the Misty Cloud Sect people from leaving.
Why was this?
Mo Ba Si, Yan Ci, Old Yin, Hua She'er, and other Snake People Tribe experts exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, a familiar figure appeared outside the city at this moment.
Yue Mei barely managed to support her Dou Qi wings, her figure battered, as she flew toward the city head.
Midway, she saw Lin Xiu and Zi Yan appear beside her and hurriedly shouted, "Don't make a move! It was him who scared off the Misty Cloud Sect people just now!"
On the city wall, the Snake People soldiers who had assumed battle stances, along with Mo Ba Si and others, couldn't help but relax when they heard Yue Mei's voice.
"A young man and a little girl, they scared off the Misty Cloud Sect?"
"I don't believe it. Even if they started cultivating from the womb, they'd only have the strength of a Dou King at best, not a Dou Emperor."
"They must have had some powerful elders backing them."
As Mo Ba Si and the others whispered among themselves, Yue Mei, Lin Xiu, and Zi Yan smoothly landed on the wall.
Among the group, those familiar with Yue Mei quickly came to her side, concerned about her disheveled appearance.
Yue Mei had already regained her composure. Though her aura was weak, she wasn't in mortal danger.
"Old Yin, this is..."
Just as she was about to make introductions, Yue Mei suddenly realized she didn't know the other party's name and hesitated, casting a glance at Lin Xiu.
"Lin Xiu."
He could see the meaning in her eyes.
"This young man, Lin Xiu, has the queen's token. Earlier, I was being chased by two Dou Kings from the Misty Cloud Sect. At a critical moment, he made a move and killed both Dou Kings with one strike, giving me the chance to return here."
Yue Mei knew her tribe's aversion to humans and was worried they might inadvertently offend Lin Xiu.
Therefore, during the introduction, she emphasized the words "killed with one strike" to make the others put away their arrogant attitudes.
With the queen absent, Yue Mei was very afraid that Mo Ba Si and the others might provoke Lin Xiu.
The other party had the power to easily slaughter everyone present.
After hearing Yue Mei's words, the expressions of those present immediately became more cautious. Their eyes showed a hint of vigilance and less disdain.
They were all at the Dou King level, and according to Yue Mei, it would only take two moves for this young man to kill them.
"Where is Medusa?"
Lin Xiu's gaze casually swept over the group.
Hearing him call the queen by name, Mo Ba Si and the others' expressions changed, a hint of anger rising on their faces.
But seeing Yue Mei standing behind Lin Xiu, frantically waving her hands to signal them to stay calm, they had to suppress it.
However, none of them seemed willing to answer.
Lin Xiu took out the token again, saying, "If she's in danger, telling me her location now might save her."
Having been the Snake People Tribe's queen for years, Medusa surely knows better than these people where valuable things are.
Ensuring Medusa's safety, in a way, also saves him time.
The Tager Desert is vast, and the Snake People Tribe covers a large area. He didn't want to miss out on the ancient treasures of this long-standing tribe.
"Where did the queen go? Speak up."
Yue Mei urged, having witnessed Lin Xiu's strength and believing in his words.
With Lin Xiu's speed, as long as he knew the queen's location, there would be plenty of time to rescue her.
"I'm fine."
Suddenly, a cold and clear female voice quietly rang out.
The Snake People present all breathed a sigh of relief.
A spot in the void twisted, light rippled, revealing a voluptuous woman.
Her face was somewhat pale, and her breath was chaotic. She seemed surprised to see Lin Xiu, her eyes filled with a faint trace of surprise. "Why are you here?"
Without waiting for Lin Xiu to speak, she continued, "Have you come to your senses and decided to join me? Although it's been a year, you can rest assured that my previous promise still stands."
The conflict between the Snake People Tribe and the Misty Cloud Sect had fully escalated.
If it weren't for the disadvantage in high-level strength compared to the Misty Cloud Sect, she would have already led her tribe to attack Misty Cloud Mountain.
Lin Xiu's arrival at this time was just right.
Having witnessed Lin Xiu's battle with Han Feng, Medusa knew he possessed strength no less than that of a peak Dou Emperor.
With Lin Xiu to hold the line, she could fully focus on fighting Yun Shan without being surrounded by multiple opponents as she had been this time.
Although she had successfully returned to the Snake People Temple, she was still seriously injured.
"I suggest you heal your wounds first. Forcing yourself like this won't feel good."
Lin Xiu was somewhat speechless.
Why does she always want to make me her subordinate? Doesn't she realize her own limitations?
Even a year ago, I had countermeasures against her.
Moreover, after a year of rapid advancement, I'm close to breaking through to Dou Ancestor.
Mo Ba Si and the others snapped out of their daze, looking at Queen Medusa with concern.
"A minor injury, it's nothing."
Medusa shook her head slightly, then swept her gaze around. "Where are the Misty Cloud Sect people?"
Previously, the friction between the Snake People Tribe and the Misty Cloud Sect was minor.
This large-scale attack truly caught her off guard.
The few present immediately explained the situation.
Since they hadn't seen the person who intervened, Mo Ba Si and the others hinted at the presence of a hidden expert.
But Medusa knew very well that there was no such expert—it was clearly Lin Xiu who had intervened.
In just one year, he seemed to have improved significantly.
She was shocked internally.
Medusa then gathered them to go to the main hall.
When she asked Lin Xiu about his purpose, Medusa learned about Xiao Yan's return to the Jia Ma Empire.
"No wonder that old Yun Shan suddenly launched such a major offensive. He was worried about being attacked from both sides and planned to heavily damage my Snake People Tribe first."
Upon understanding the situation, Medusa immediately deduced the reason behind the Misty Cloud Sect's sudden and forceful action, a cold smile forming on her lips.
If Lin Xiu hadn't appeared, that old fool might have succeeded.
Because she was restrained, the main forces of the Snake People Temple suffered heavy losses.
She herself was also injured. By the time she returned to the tribe and saw the situation, there would be no way to rebuild the strength needed to attack the Misty Cloud Sect.
She looked at Lin Xiu. "Why aren't you with Xiao Yan? Why did you come to me?"
"You invited me yourself back then, remember?"
Lin Xiu noticed the confusion in Medusa's eyes and smiled slightly. "I've heard that the heritage of the Snake People Tribe is on par with that of the Misty Cloud Sect. I wanted to experience it before heading to the Misty Cloud Sect. After taking them down, it would help me compare whether the Snake People Tribe's history is more profound or if the Misty Cloud Sect's heritage is more substantial."
As his words fell, Medusa's expression changed immediately.
