Chapter 325: Pointing to Yun Lan

Chapter 325: Pointing to Yun Lan

The Great Elder, having been on the brink of death, finally saw the long-awaited Queen and couldn't help but tear up. A joyful smile appeared on his aged face, deepening his wrinkles. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Clan leader, you have finally returned."

Medusa was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at the Snake Clan members below with a guilty expression on her face. "I'm sorry, I arrived late."

The Snake Clan members below looked at Medusa in disbelief. When they regained their composure, they began to tremble with excitement and knelt, shouting loudly.

"Hail Her Majesty the Queen!"

Seeing the joy of the Snake Clan, the guilt on Medusa's face intensified. "I will make the enemies pay with blood!" Medusa threw some pill bottles to the Elders and then turned to Yun Tu.

Originally, Yun Tu had thought of taking advantage of Medusa's distraction to escape. He didn't expect a dark blue energy to appear around him, making him feel as if he was trapped in a swamp, unable to move.

"Y-Your Majesty the Queen, please forgive me. This is my first time in the Tagor Desert; I have never captured any Snake Clan members before. I am willing to compensate for my reckless action…"

Before Yun Tu could finish, Medusa decisively cut off his head with a sword. Medusa didn't want to listen to the enemy's pleas; she only wanted them to pay with blood. The seven-colored energy sliced through, and Yun Tu's head flew through the air. From his perspective, everything spun, his mouth open as if he still wanted to plead.

Seeing that Medusa had beheaded Yun Tu, Xiao Ze stopped suppressing the others. He looked at the other members of the Yun Lan Sect, and each had a faint red glow in their eyes.

"Red glow in the eyes, is this a characteristic of cultivating that secret technique?"

The Snake Clan members, seeing the trapped enemies, also showed hatred in their eyes, ready to act. However, without Her Majesty's permission, they didn't dare to move. With a thought, Xiao Ze made the enemies levitate and come closer to him.

"I want to ask some questions. Who among you is willing to cooperate?"

His words made everyone look at each other, but no one responded. Xiao Ze pointed at one randomly, and in the blink of an eye, that person was crushed into a mass of blood under the terrified gazes of the others.

"Who will be next?"

Xiao Ze spoke calmly, but to the Yun Lan members, this manner of killing without changing expression was the most cruel.

"I will talk! Whatever you ask, I will answer without reservation!" A strong man with a scar on his face spoke.

"Explain the secret technique you are cultivating." Seeing that his tactic had worked, Xiao Ze didn't kill more but directly spoke to that man.

"We cultivate a secret technique called 'Soul and Body Devouring Method.' It can devour souls and bodies, turning them into our own strength…"

With the explanation, Xiao Ze understood more about Yun Lan's secret technique. The technique was powerful, but its side effects were also severe, gradually turning them into slaves of power. The longer they cultivated the technique and the more power they gained, the more they craved to devour living beings. This made the Yun Lan members attack the subordinate forces, with the Snake Clan being an example.

Xiao Ze narrowed his eyes; the effects of the technique were indeed devastating. Yun Lan was like a cage full of devouring beasts, without a lock, and the beasts occasionally came out to devour people.

"Is Yun Shan still in Yun Lan?"

Xiao Ze thought of capturing the leader first, eliminating Yun Shan.

"I don't know, the leader's whereabouts are uncertain. We only know about him when he summons us."

Xiao Ze nodded, not having too high expectations. If a leader allowed his subordinates to know his whereabouts, it would be very strange.

Xiao Ze continued to ask questions, selecting several with different degrees of red glow in their eyes. He confirmed that the red glow was a way to identify the cultivators of the secret technique, and the more intense the glow, the longer they had been cultivating and the more lives they had destroyed.

After asking everything he wanted to know, Xiao Ze turned them all into blood with a thought. He never said that answering the questions would save them. Each of them had blood on their hands, using the lives and souls of others to strengthen their own power. He would show no mercy.

Medusa's expression didn't change much. Knowing Xiao Ze, she knew he wouldn't spare these men. Medusa gave orders, and although she had been absent for a long time, her power and having saved the clan in a crisis gave her indisputable authority. The four Elders approached and bowed respectfully to Xiao Ze.

"We greet Master Xiao Ze!"

The Snake Clan members, seeing the respected Elders bowing to Xiao Ze, were surprised and wondered about his identity. What surprised them the most was that Her Majesty seemed to consider Xiao Ze as the leader. After all, few in the clan had interacted with Xiao Ze before.

"How are your injuries?" Xiao Ze smiled.

"Thanks to the clan leader's pills, we are fine now." The Great Elder responded.

Xiao Ze asked if they had any information about Yun Lan, but unfortunately, the clan was secluded in the desert, barely able to survive, and couldn't spy.

After organizing everything, Medusa returned to Xiao Ze's side.

"Xiao Ze, I want to go to Yun Lan."

Medusa's voice had a cold tone. Xiao Ze had heard when Medusa said she wanted to avenge the Snake Clan.

"Alright, I will go with you. It will be safer that way, as it is the headquarters of Yun Lan and there might be support from the Hall of Souls."

Medusa nodded slightly, looking towards the Jia Ma Empire. With the tragic situation of the clan in mind, she accumulated great anger, hoping to release it on Yun Lan. Since the attack on the Snake Clan was an isolated incident and Yun Lan didn't know, Xiao Ze and Medusa felt at ease to go to Yun Lan.

Before leaving, Medusa ordered the Elders to take good care of the clan. The Elders accepted enthusiastically. With Medusa's return, the clan was excited. Maybe, not only could they free themselves from Yun Lan's control, but also find a better place to prosper again.

Xiao Ze and Medusa headed to Yun Lan, towards the Jia Ma Empire.
