"Dear sisters, since you claim Mother is dead, where is her body after her demise?"
Facing her sisters' approach, Apas showed no hint of panic, her eyes fixed on Pemoge and Diyino.
After all, a powerful Emperor stood behind her!
"Mother rests eternally in her bedchamber, my dear sister. Come with us to see Mother." Pemoge's smile grew increasingly unsettling.
If Khufu were still alive, they would have handed over the Death body to Khufu in exchange for his support in gaining control of the Snake Scorpion Empire.
Khufu would also have achieved his desire to enslave Medusas Mother, who had become an Undead.
However, several Pharaohs who had escaped from the Netherworld had already spread news across the desert.
The outcome of this world-shaking Netherworld War had been decided.
The result was that Khufu lost.
Henceforth, the Netherworld would only be ruled by the Eastern Undead Emperor.
So, they planned to give Medusas Mother's Death body to the Eastern Undead Emperor.
"The soul you wanted is probably unobtainable, but the body is still in the Evil Temple," Apas said to Jiang Yuan, turning her head.
Only then did Pemoge and Diyino notice the young human standing beside Apas.
He had no powerful aura, only a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament that made their eyes light up.
"Apas, is this your pet? He looks quite delicious. Let me, your sister, eat him." Diyino licked her lips, drawing closer and closer.
Twisting their snake bodies, their snake scales made a faint rustling sound as they glided over the sand. Both Pemoge and Diyino wanted to swallow Apas, as their power would increase further.
Jiang Yuan remained expressionless.
His Space Power activated, instantly immobilizing these two Medusas.
"What?!!!"
"Where did this Space Power come from?!"
Two startled cries, followed by a crisp sound of bone breaking, which was exceptionally clear in the silent night.
The night returned to tranquility.
Pemoge and Diyino's heads were folded at an extremely awkward angle, their spines forcibly broken.
Of course, this was not enough to kill them.
Jiang Yuan also thoroughly churned their brains.
Outwardly, there was no change, but inside, their heads had become a complete mess.
This was the true reason their lives were taken.
"Dead???" Apas witnessed everything from the side, her mouth wide open.
She had expected Jiang Yuan to deal with her sisters easily.
But she hadn't expected it to be *this* easy!
Jiang Yuan's movements hadn't stopped. As their soul energy dissipated, he used a secret technique to block it, and eventually, two Monarch-level Spirit Essences flew into his hand.
Putting away the Spirit Essences, Jiang Yuan looked at Apas with cold eyes.
Apas's little face instantly turned pale with fright, and she quickly said, "Don't kill me! I'm so beautiful and cute, it would be such a waste to kill me! I can be your cute little maid, please don't kill me!"
"Alright, I won't kill you. Then you can honestly be my maid." Jiang Yuan said, playing along with her words.
It just so happened that Nine Nether Queen and Liu Xian were both tied up with important matters, and he indeed needed a little maid by his side.
Upon hearing this, Apas breathed a sigh of relief.
Having dealt with the Medusas, Jiang Yuan led Apas into the Evil Temple.
The Medusa Evil Temple was truly aptly named.
It contained all sorts of Medusas.
Those crossbred with Killer Scorpion, with Red Scorpion, and also with Wind Rock Lizard.
It felt as if Medusas were very similar to Western dragons, capable of crossbreeding with various demon beasts to produce offspring of diverse forms but powerful strength.
Many Medusas, upon seeing Apas, bowed their noble heads.
In a flash, Apas led Jiang Yuan to retrieve Medusas Mother's body.
Because it was a natural Death, there was not much soul left, at most forming a remnant soul, which was of little value.
Jiang Yuan also had no intention of resurrecting her as an Undead.
An Sub-Emperor, though called an Emperor, was still far from a true Emperor.
If it were a true Emperor, he might consider resurrecting them, but a Sub-Emperor was out of the question.
The purpose of this trip was accomplished; it was time to return to the Netherworld.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot one thing. Sign this contract."
Jiang Yuan remembered something and threw out a contract.
This was a Dark Contract.
As one of the Dark Kings, it was normal for the Netherworld King to produce a subjugation contract.
Apas finished reading the contract, and her heart was once again shocked.
This human before her was actually the Netherworld King!
She had found a powerful backer!
Mother, you can rest in peace; your daughter will no longer be bullied!!
Apas signed the contract without hesitation, officially becoming one of Jiang Yuan's little maids.
"Master~" Apas called out without any shame.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"
"The Ancestor of snakes and scorpions and my Mother are both dead, and even my two sisters are dead. The Snake Scorpion Empire no longer has any living beings capable of ruling everything. Why doesn't Master annex the Snake Scorpion Empire?" Apas suggested.
"How do you plan to do it?" Annexing the Snake Scorpion Empire wasn't a bad idea, Jiang Yuan asked.
"Give me a few days. As Medusas Mother's third daughter, I can command all the Snake Scorpions and surely make them submit! However, Master might need to specially open up an area in the Netherworld for them to live." Apas replied.
Snake Scorpions could survive in the Netherworld.
After all, many Snake Scorpions had lived in the Pyramid before, completely becoming part of the Pyramid.
Once the Undead army led by Austin finished the Minor Netherworld War, the Netherworld could be rebuilt.
At that time, it would be perfect to arrange territory for the Snake Scorpions.
"Is five days enough?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Apas shook her head: "No need for five days, three days is enough!"
"Alright, then go do it. I'll wait for you in the Evil Temple." Jiang Yuan nodded, agreeing.
"Thank you, Master~"
Having received affirmation, Apas immediately went to the Evil Temple's front hall and issued orders to the various Medusas.
"The Ancestor of snakes and scorpions and Medusas Mother are dead. A new king shall rule the Snake Scorpion Empire. Gather all Snake Scorpions; those who do not come shall be trapped forever in the boundless desert!"
Apas's bloodline was noble, and even as the youngest daughter, her strength was extremely powerful.
Therefore, the hybrid Medusas would not resist her command. One by one, they swarmed out of the Evil Temple, carrying the order to every territory of the Snake Scorpion Empire.
Apas also didn't idle, leaving with them.
Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, waited for her return in the Evil Temple while meditating and cultivating.
When his Undead System advanced to Super-Level and he gained control of the Armor Robe, he was already an Undead System Forbidden Spellcasters.
That's why he was able to advance the Twisted Undead to Twisted Ghost Emperor.
His next step was to advance the Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch to Three-Eyed Underworld Emperor!
The key to this advancement lay with Red Demon Ichiro.
The evil power it had collected over the years was an extremely powerful force.
Even without the blessing of the Eight Souls of Good and Evil, Jiang Yuan could still enable the Three-Eyed Underworld Monarch to successfully advance to Emperor-level!
