While communicating with Medusa along the way, Xiao Yan gained some understanding of the events that had occurred during this time.
Looking at the countless black dots on the golden desert, Xiao Yan could not help but feel puzzled. What he sensed was several times more than what his eyes saw. In the past, humans would never have dared to venture so deeply into serpent clan territory.
"Why are there so many humans in the Tagore Desert?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
"All because of you," Medusa rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan. "The serpent clan has been experiencing consecutive heaven-and-earth anomalies, and the range is so wide that even the human cities surrounding the desert have noticed."
"Those people wouldn't think there's some treasure in the desert, would they?" Xiao Yan quickly understood, though he found the reason rather amusing.
Medusa nodded helplessly. To seek the Heavenly Flames, she had almost stepped foot in every inch of the Tagore Desert.
If there were truly treasures in this desert, she would have already found them. There was no need for these humans to search.
"Although humans entering in large numbers initially caused some conflicts, over time it indirectly promoted the serpent clan's external trade."
"Now, the 'treasure' has become a beautiful illusion in humans' minds. Instead, they pursue the magical cores and medicinal items of the desert's special magical beasts."
Xiao Yan nodded slowly. Compared to unreachable dreams, what is tangible is the most practical.
As they spoke, a massive city quietly sprawled in the desert, like a colossal beast with no visible end.
Holding Medusa's increasingly supple and curvaceous body, Xiao Yan's wings were suddenly enveloped in a layer of brilliant colorful light.
In an instant, the two of them rapidly descended toward the city, moving much faster than even Dou Zong-level experts.
[By combining Dou Qi Wings, dual-wing stacking, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's flight techniques, you have comprehended the Flying Fire Meteor.]
[Flying Fire Meteor: a flight combat technique that covers the flying technique with fire-element Dou Qi; the stronger the Dou Qi quality, the faster the flight speed.]
The effect of the Green Lotus Creation Classic, which combines the energy of all the Heavenly Flames, required extreme focus. Xiao Yan did not want to maintain that state except at critical moments.
Moreover, combining Heavenly Flame energy would interrupt all ongoing Heavenly Flame cultivation, which was not what he desired.
Guided by Medusa, they arrived at a deeply hidden bamboo house in the Serpent Clan's capital.
This was where the serpent clan elders usually secluded themselves for cultivation.
Although the four auras in the bamboo room were very subtle, none could escape Xiao Yan's detection.
Even if Medusa did not actively guide him, Xiao Yan could have found the place.
The four peak Dou Huang-level experts of the serpent clan were naturally the four reclusive elders behind the scenes.
"Put me down." Medusa pushed Xiao Yan's shoulder. Given the four elders' perception, they had likely already seen her current state.
Xiao Yan smiled and gently set Medusa down.
With her serpentine waist twisting, Medusa walked to the bamboo house and lightly knocked on the door.
"Come in." As soon as the knock sounded, an aged voice came from inside the bamboo house.
Pushing open the door, Medusa glanced back at Xiao Yan, then entered the room.
Xiao Yan followed closely, and as they entered, the bamboo door automatically closed.
The four elderly women, previously resting with closed eyes, slowly opened them. Their diamond-shaped pupils, like poisonous snakes, locked onto Xiao Yan.
To be honest, they had always been very curious about him. Who exactly was this person capable of such a thing with Her Majesty the Queen?
After inspecting him from head to toe, the four women felt somewhat disappointed. He looked very ordinary, far from what they had imagined.
Except for a particularly delicate appearance, they could not discern anything special, giving an impression of being unremarkable.
"You are Xiao Yan?" The central elder was incredulous. Someone could hide their Dou Qi in front of her, appearing like an ordinary person with no strength.
There were only two possibilities:
Either Xiao Yan truly had no strength, or his strength far exceeded the four of them.
Considering he could fly into the capital and reach this place, the former was naturally impossible.
As for the latter…
Xiao Yan had just broken through to Dou Zong not long ago, so the gap should not be so large.
He was not like Her Majesty, who had undergone a special transformation and inherited the qualifications of the ancient Heaven-Devouring Python.
As she finished speaking, four cold and dark auras rose and converged in the air, forming a massive black python.
The python's emotionless eyes stared tightly at Xiao Yan, and an invisible pressure quietly rose. The bamboo house trembled, and the terrifying oppression slammed onto Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan had only lowered his Dou Qi display; his soul power remained completely intact.
After over two years of focused cultivation, his soul power had advanced dramatically. The four serpent clan elders were far from capable of discerning his true strength.
Raising an eyebrow, a flash of crimson light crossed Xiao Yan's dark eyes as he glanced at the four elders. The effect of the Super Fallen Heart Flame instantly activated.
The four elderly women felt a sudden heat in their hearts. Instantly, their blood, Dou Qi, and souls seemed to boil and burn; their strength went into complete chaos.
Then, the black python, formed from their combined power, instantly shattered and dissipated.
The effect Xiao Yan used, the Super Fallen Heart Flame, was beneficial for cultivation and caused no actual harm.
However, the four serpent clan elders had never experienced it before. Their special constitution made them less resistant than humans of equal strength, and at first contact, they could hardly endure it.
As the Super Fallen Heart Flame effect quickly subsided, the four elderly women each felt as if they had walked the brink of death, a cold sweat forming on their backs.
Although everything had happened mysteriously, it was undoubtedly closely related to Xiao Yan.
Had Xiao Yan's power been slightly stronger, the four peak Dou Huang elders might have burned themselves alive in an instant.
"I didn't expect there to be such a young strong cultivator in the world. Truly, a person with extraordinary talent." The central elder gave Xiao Yan a grim yet somewhat stern smile.
She then introduced herself: "I am the Grand Elder of the serpent clan; this is the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. After using a small trick, it seemed the four elders understood.
"Today, I summoned you mainly to discuss a matter with you." After the introductions, the Grand Elder's diamond-shaped pupils moved slightly, her hoarse voice saying.
Xiao Yan replied: "Grand Elder, please speak."
"According to our investigation, our clan leader Medusa is already pregnant. This matter is also greatly related to you," the Grand Elder said slowly.
