Chapter 272

Yu Su's face turned cold as he clenched his fist, indicating his intention to wipe out the Snake Clan.

Originally, it should have been a moment of anger, but Lu Yan looked at Yu Su and found him to be somewhat adorable.

Even the nearby scouts couldn't help but secretly think: "Even when Lord Yu Su is angry, he looks very good!"

After Yu Su finished speaking and saw that Lu Yan and the scouts were looking at him without saying anything, he was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yan cleared his throat and said, "Then let's go take a look at the Snake Clan."

...

The Snake Clan's territory was far from the various cities, located in a large valley.

When Yu Su and Lu Yan arrived, they originally thought they would see a nest of the Snake Clan, but to their surprise, they saw a fairly large settlement.

However, at this moment, there were two giant pythons fighting, causing chaos in the valley.

"Infighting?" Yu Su said, "Is this the right time for us to come?"

Lu Yan said coldly, "It saves us the trouble of taking action ourselves."

The two of them found a place and stood by to watch.

Both of those giant pythons should have strength equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage of the human race, so their fight caused great destruction, scattering the Snake Clan in the valley.

Yu Su and Lu Yan caught a member of the Snake Clan and asked what was going on.

The Snake Clan member was trembling from Lu Yan's flames and quickly spilled everything.

It turned out that in recent years, the Snake Clan had split into two factions. One was represented by the great witch Snake Qing, while the other was represented by the new Snake King.

The great witch represented the old faction, while the new Snake King represented the new radical faction. They not only wanted to expand out of the valley and annex the human territory, but also aimed to absorb the old faction.

Originally, the old faction had been at a disadvantage, but recently the new radical faction suffered heavy losses. First, they lost an important group of confidants in Fengcheng, and then they lost an important general in Yicheng, leading to a sharp decline in the new faction's strength.

Seizing this opportunity, the great witch launched an attack on the new Snake King.So now the two giant pythons fighting are indeed the Great Witch of the Snake Clan and the new Snake King.

The two transformed into their original forms and fought. The new Snake King was no match for the Great Witch of the Snake Clan and was already at a disadvantage. The Snake Clan behind the new Snake King saw that the situation was not good and began to scatter and flee.

Yu Su and Lu Yan, "...."

Yu Su: "Which one is the new Snake King?"

The young member of the Snake Clan trembled and said, "The one that's m-mottled."

Indeed, among the two giant pythons fighting, one was mottled, while the other was entirely snow-white. At present, the situation was that the white python had the upper hand, and the mottled python could not hold on for much longer.

Half an hour later, the mottled python's abdomen was torn open by the tail of the white python, and its demon core was extracted.

The mottled python quickly lost its breath.

The white python swallowed the demon core and then glanced in the direction of Yu Su and Lu Yan, locking eyes with Yu Su for a moment.

From its eyes, Yu Su saw humanity and wisdom, so he nodded slightly at it.

After a while, the white python also nodded gently, then turned and slithered away.

As it left, a group of snakes followed it into the mountains and quickly disappeared. The young member of the Snake Clan that Yu Su and Lu Yan had caught took the opportunity to transform back into its original form and swiftly disappeared into the woods, heading in the direction where the snake group had left.

Yu Su and Lu Yan did nothing, yet the Snake Clan fell apart due to infighting.

...

On the other side, the Grand Witch of Yicheng and the Lord of Yicheng were in extreme panic.

They initially thought that a skilled member of the Snake Clan had abducted the group of children, but they found the body of that skilled member of the Snake Clan outside the city.

At the same time, an unknown force had sheared off the roof of the temple, as if a divine punishment had descended.

Even if they were stubborn, they could not help but suspect whether they were truly being punished by the gods.

"It must be because we collaborated with the Snake Clan and abducted those children, and the gods found out," said the Grand Witch of Yicheng, his face pale and filled with anxiety.

They worshipped the Feather God in Yicheng, a god with noble character. It was certain that the god could not bear to see them commit such dirty deeds, which led to their punishment.Lord of Yicheng: "What should we do now?"

The Snake Clan's expert is dead, and their support has collapsed. They don't even have anyone to discuss with now.

The Grand Witch of Yicheng gritted his teeth, "We must confess to the gods. Only by confessing to the gods can we avoid the punishment of the entire Yicheng."

So when Yu Su and Lu Yan returned to Yicheng, they happened to see the Grand Witch of Yicheng and the Lord of Yicheng leading a group of people kneeling in the square in front of the temple, confessing to their gods.

Yu Su coldly snorted, "Quite afraid of death."

Lu Yan: "Yicheng's ambitions are too great. They won't learn unless they are taught a lesson."

Yu Su looked at him, "What do you want to do?"

A coldness flashed in Lu Yan's eyes. He concealed his figure and landed above the Grand Witch of Yicheng and the Lord of Yicheng, just like slicing off the roof of the Yicheng temple, and dealt with the two of them in one stroke.

"Ah ah ah ah!"

"The Grand Witch and the Lord are dead!"

"It's a divine punishment, a divine punishment!"

The people kneeling in the square of Yicheng were terrified. After the deaths of the Grand Witch of Yicheng and the Lord of Yicheng, they desperately kowtowed, begging for forgiveness from their gods.

...

The news of the deaths of the Grand Witch of Yicheng and the Lord of Yicheng due to divine punishment quickly spread to various cities.

The lords and grand witches of various cities sighed.

They felt that Yicheng must have done something to provoke divine wrath, and the subsequent investigation showed that Yicheng had colluded with the Snake Clan, abducted many children, and attempted to refine witch guards.

"It's no wonder they attracted divine punishment."

The leaders of the various cities also became vigilant when discussing this matter. They realized that doing such bad things would indeed attract divine punishment. For a while, they became very honest and dared not casually take lives. Even those who captured slaves were fewer, fearing that they would attract divine punishment like Yicheng.

For ordinary people, this was a good thing.

Yu Su and Lu Yan, who had hidden their talents and returned to Yucheng.Yicheng was no longer causing trouble. Yucheng had close interactions with various major cities and conducted booming business. Not only did Yucheng make a lot of money, but various major forces also benefited greatly.

In this situation, no one wanted to return to their previous lives.

If anyone dared to cause trouble, before Yucheng took action, the various major forces would take the initiative to suppress the troublemakers. At this point, anyone causing trouble would be the common enemy of everyone.

...

After resolving the matter between Yicheng and the Snake Clan, Yucheng remained calm for a long time.

Yu Su originally thought that the ones to disturb this calm might be the Mermaid Clan, but unexpectedly, it was a loud rumble coming from the northwest.

At the time of the rumble, even Yucheng in the south felt the ground shaking.

The drowsy Little Xuan Bird was startled and flew up, chirping angrily.

Yu Su and the others quickly flew up on their swords and looked towards the northwest.

Even Chi Nan and Qing Ze appeared.

"Is someone undergoing tribulation?" Yu Su's first reaction was that someone was undergoing tribulation, and this person's cultivation level was extremely high, or else it wouldn't have caused such a commotion.

Qing Ze sniffed the air and said in a ethereal voice, "It's not tribulation, there's no sign of tribulation clouds."

Chi Nan explained, "Tribulation that causes such a commotion would definitely spread its aura to very distant places."

Yu Su said, "If it's not tribulation, then what could it be?"

Chi Nan showed a hint of suspicion and looked at Qing Ze, "What do you think?"

Qing Ze gazed into the distance and said in an ethereal voice, "It's very likely that a secret realm has appeared."

Yu Su widened his eyes, a secret realm?!

He immediately looked towards the northwest with excitement, "I'm going to take a look!"

Yu Su flew out first, followed by Lu Yan.

Seeing this, Jian Yunchuan said to Qing Ze, "Lord Mountain God, should we also go take a look?"

Qing Ze nodded.

The group flew towards the northwest, and after about an hour of flying, they finally arrived at the location where the sound had originated.

Above the forest, a large vortex emerged.In the dark vortex, a hint of rich and pure spiritual energy emerged, attracting everyone without revealing what was inside.

Yu Su exclaimed, "It's indeed a secret realm!"

Jian Yunchuan and Lu Yan had heard Yu Su talk about secret realms and knew what they represented.

Chi Nan cautioned, "This secret realm seems to have appeared for the first time. The situation inside is unclear, so don't enter lightly."

Yu Su, as someone who had crossed over from the Dharma-ending era, had read many records about secret realms in the library. Secret realms often came with risks, such as formations, demonic beasts, and demon plants. One could easily perish inside a secret realm. But at the same time, secret realms also represented countless opportunities.

Yu Su said, "Upon entering the vortex entrance, we might be scattered."

Chi Nan glanced at him and remarked, "You seem quite knowledgeable about this."

Yu Su coughed lightly and looked at Qing Ze.

Qing Ze's ethereal voice sounded, "I told him."

Chi Nan nodded and looked into the distance, "The demon clan is coming."

The arriving demon clan members were mostly in the Qi Refining stage, but after a while, several demon clan members with cultivation equivalent to Foundation Building also arrived, including the Great Priest of the Bear Clan.

However, these demon clan members all ran over from the ground and were now gathered in the open space below the vortex, looking up at the entrance.

Yu Su saw Xiong Hui and greeted him.

When Xiong Hui saw them, his eyes lit up. He stomped his foot, and a gust of wind carried him up.

"High Priest Yu Su, you've also come." When Xiong Hui greeted them, he also noticed Qing Ze. After his surprise, he quickly bowed to Qing Ze, "Lord Deer God."

The demon clan members in the open space below also witnessed this scene. When they saw Qing Ze, they were all very surprised and, upon realizing, they all bowed in respect.

Many demon clan members did not know who Qing Ze was, but that did not prevent them from sensing Qing Ze's terrifying strength.

In the demon clan, strength was paramount. Whoever was stronger was the boss.

After bowing, Xiong Hui hurriedly asked, "Lord Deer God, High Priest Yu Su, do you know what this vortex is about?"

Xiong Hui had rushed over after hearing a loud noise and did not know what the vortex represented.
