The two returned to the small courtyard. Han Feng said to Lin Xian'er: "This movement technique is not so easy to master; you must practice diligently."
"Tomorrow I'll take Qing Lin to the Snake Valley. When we come back, we'll go to the Heaven Mountain Blood Pool together."
Lin Xian'er nodded.
Qing Lin going to the Snake Valley, that's really a natural suppression.
Wonder how she will feel after coming back.
Early the next morning, Han Feng set off with Qing Lin, targeting the Snake Valley in the Western Region.
Although the distance is very long, for Han Feng, it's just a blink of an eye.
Guided by spatial coordinates, the two appeared in a hidden valley in the Western Region in the next instant.
After breaking through to Dou Saint, he set the coordinates in a remote location, which is both hidden and safe.
Anyway, with Dou Saint cultivation, short-distance crossing consumes little time.
After arriving at the coordinates, Han Feng took Qing Lin straight to the Snake Valley.
At this time, the Snake Valley was managed by Medusa alone. She is now also a Dou Venerate powerhouse, enough to suppress the surrounding petty people.
On the outskirts of the Snake Valley, some patrolling Snake People were wandering.
Qing Lin sharply saw that there were many small snakes hidden in the surrounding dense forest. If not observed carefully, they couldn't be discovered.
"The Snake Valley was established specifically to collect intelligence. Now it looks more like a complete force."
Han Feng said from the side.
He took Qing Lin directly across the outer defense line and arrived inside the Snake Valley.
Although the Snake Valley defense line is strict, it is only effective against ordinary cultivators. Facing Dou Saint level powerhouses, it is still relatively difficult to prevent.
Han Feng looked around the Snake Valley, thinking he could arrange some formations here to guard against some powerful enemies.
It's just that his understanding of formations is not very deep, so he will have to ask the Azure Flower Two Immortals of the Flower Sect later.
Speaking of which, Fairy Hua is still in the Mountain and River Map, cultivating with him for almost two years. Wonder if she has comprehended Xu Lingzi's Four Direction Spirit Trapping Array.
While thinking, Han Feng arrived at the central hall of the Snake Valley.
Medusa was somewhat surprised to see Han Feng arrive.
But she didn't express the corresponding emotions on her face, walking slowly towards Han Feng.
"What are your orders for coming this time?"
Han Feng said helplessly: "Can't I just come to see?"
Medusa responded calmly: "You are a busy man. When have I seen you come without reason?"
Qing Lin on the side covered her mouth and giggled upon hearing this.
"Sister Medusa, Uncle Han indeed came for something."
Seeing Qing Lin dismantling his stage, Han Feng sighed helplessly.
Medusa revealed a gentle smile to Qing Lin, stepped forward to hold her hand, and walked to the seat.
"Haven't seen you for so many years; you have grown so big."
When they lived together in Canaan College back then, Medusa was still in larval form, so Qing Lin always called her Sister Medusa.
After chatting for a while, Medusa looked at Han Feng and said: "Bringing Qing Lin here is to practice with Qing Luo?"
Han Feng nodded.
"How is that child now?"
"Not bad. She has broken through to the Nine-Star Dou King realm, and her soul power methods are becoming more skillful. With the soul skills you taught her, she can defeat Peak Dou Emperor level powerhouses head-on."
Spirit State mid-stage soul realm, combined with soul skills, can indeed unleash powerful might.
Han Feng smiled gently.
"In that case, Qing Lin doesn't need to hold back too much this time."
Qing Luo has defeated Peak Dou Emperor level powerhouses, and Qing Lin is also in this rank now.
It is reasonable for the two to fight.
"It's time to suppress her arrogance. That child has high aspirations. If she steps out of this Snake Valley, I'm afraid she will be targeted by many people."
Qing Luo inherited the unique charm of Snake People women in appearance, extremely seductive. Even if she doesn't provoke others, others will provoke her actively.
And Qing Luo has a straightforward temper. If she wants to kill someone, she won't consider the other party's background much.
Rather than being frustrated outside, it's better to experience it at home first.
"Just an ordinary sparring match."
Han Feng smiled and said.
Medusa ordered the servants to bring Qing Luo.
The three waited for a moment, and a enchanting Snake People girl swam into the hall.
At this time, Qing Luo had not shed her snake body and still retained that purple tail.
Seeing Han Feng appear in the hall, her charming and moving eyes flashed slightly.
"Qing Luo greets Her Majesty the Queen, greets Lord Han Feng."
Medusa nodded.
"A guest came today and wants to compete with you in soul techniques. Qing Luo, are you willing to accept the challenge?"
Hearing this, Qing Luo's eyes looked slightly at the green-haired girl beside Han Feng.
"Qing Luo is willing!"
Medusa nodded.
"Alright, prepare yourself first. We will go to the martial arts arena for the competition later."
Qing Luo accepted the order and withdrew. Before leaving, her gaze fixed on Han Feng, seeming somewhat reluctant to leave.
"That child admires you very much. Last time she challenged a Peak Dou Emperor just to bet with me, wanting to know your name."
Han Feng smiled.
"Her talent is good. She can go out more in the future. Although the Snake Valley is large, if limited here, what difference is it from the Tagor Desert?"
Medusa said: "I had this idea originally, and some Snake People have already gone to various sects in the Western Region for experience. But for Qing Luo, I haven't decided where to send her yet."
Qing Luo's talent is currently the highest among the Snake People Tribe; her future needs careful consideration.
"I'll pay more attention to this aspect. Not necessarily joining a sect. I see you want to train her as a successor."
Medusa nodded.
If everything goes well, Qing Luo will be the next Queen of the Snake People Tribe.
This is also why Medusa doesn't let her go out casually.
Heir to the throne naturally needs to be more cautious.
The three didn't chat for long. After resting for a while, they went to the martial arts stage in the Snake Valley.
Because the famous genius girl Qing Luo of the Snake People Tribe was going to duel, many Snake People became interested.
They surrounded the outside of the martial arts arena, ready to watch this special challenge.
"Heard it is hosted by Her Majesty the Queen personally. Don't know who the opponent is?"
"Yeah, Qing Luo defeated Commander Man Hei last time. That was a Peak Dou Emperor level powerhouse!"
The opponent this time should be at least not lower than this level.
Maybe it will be a Dou Ancestor!
While everyone was discussing, Medusa brought Qing Lin to the martial arts stage, and Han Feng disguised his aura and sat on the spectator stand.
Everyone's eyes were quickly attracted by Qing Lin.
This girl standing on two feet, the aura on her body is not weaker than Commander Man Hei at all, and there is a layer of elusive special aura around her, making people unable to see through her depth.
Qing Lin has been accompanied by snakes all year round, and her body is mixed with pure snake magical beast aura, so for a time, everyone thought she was a Snake Person and didn't treat her as a human.
"Qing Lin, be careful. Unless necessary, it's best not to use your pupil technique."
Before going on stage, Medusa specially instructed.
Qing Lin nodded and stepped onto the ring.
Qing Luo was also ready in position at this time.
Medusa came outside the ring to host this competition personally.
On the martial arts stage, the two girls scrutinized each other.
Qing Luo didn't know much about the green-haired girl in front of her, but from the spiritual charm released from the other party's eyes, she could feel that she was a soul cultivation expert.
Brought personally by Lord Han Feng, what an enviable treatment...
Qing Luo thought in her heart.
However, I won't lose!
"Competition, start!"
With Medusa's order, the two girls quickly formed hand seals, unfolding a contest between soul cultivators using ancient methods.
"Great Soul Handprint!"
"Great Soul Handprint!"
The two girls shouted in unison, and two soul palm prints were slapped out from behind.
Powerful soul power fluctuations shook the surrounding magical beasts to lower their bodies one after another.
Soul fluctuations are quite deterrent to magical beasts born with weak souls.
Qing Lin narrowed her eyes.
Sure enough, this Snake People girl also knows some soul skills.
Soul skills are hard to find. In an era where ancient soul cultivation is almost extinct, wanting a Soul Art book is harder than ascending to heaven.
The girl in front of her cultivated the Soul Art taught by Uncle Han to have such strength.
Otherwise, relying solely on the soul power of the Spirit State, she cannot create palm prints with such lethality.
"Taste this move!"
The seal in Qing Lin's hand changed, and the soul energy behind her quickly transformed into small green snakes.
Seeing this, Qing Luo was not to be outdone.
"Snake Spirit Manifestation!"
A special energy fluctuation was urged in her body, and a purple giant python condensed behind her.
Countless small green snakes fought with the purple giant python. Although the purple giant python was huge, facing the powerful small green snakes, it could only take a beating.
Qing Luo frowned slightly. The first move just now was fine; both sides were just testing. But with this second move, she soon fell into a disadvantage.
The opponent's soul skill is not much different from hers in grade, but soul power determines the power and flexibility of the soul skill.
After analyzing the current situation in her heart, Qing Luo immediately shook the purple snake body, knocking all the small green snakes away.
"Twin Snake Kill!"
Qing Luo's hand seal changed, and the purple giant python split into two purple snakes, attacking Qing Lin from both sides.
Qing Lin looked calm, blocking with both hands to the sides.
"Green Snake Body Protection!"
Clang!
The purple snakes hit the green snake shield, making roaring sounds, but ultimately failed to break through that layer of defense.
The audience below the stage gasped one after another seeing Qing Luo suffer a setback.
Who exactly is the green-haired girl, actually able to block Qing Luo's soul skill head-on?
"Next, it's my turn!"
Qing Lin's eyes flashed, and she quickly formed a cross seal with her hands.
"Soul Skill · Bright Lamp!"
A dazzling brilliance flashed in mid-air. Illuminated by the strong light, Qing Luo closed her eyes subconsciously.
The demon snakes watching around were also dazzled by this suddenly appearing strong light and couldn't open their eyes.
However, at this moment, a fierce sound of breaking wind came from the stage.
A moment later, the light dissipated.
The scene on the martial arts stage appeared in the eyes of the Snake People.
The soul thorn manipulated by Qing Lin had arrived in front of Qing Luo's forehead. Just a bit closer, it could take away Qing Luo's life.
Qing Luo's face showed a complex expression, unwilling yet disappointed.
Her hands hung in mid-air, seemingly wanting to defend just now but failing to block in time.
Medusa's voice sounded at this time.
"This challenge, Qing Lin wins!"
Qing Lin looked at Qing Luo who looked unconvinced, smiled, and said: "Want to try again? I attacked quite suddenly just now; you should still have trump cards unused."
Qing Luo was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
"Lost is lost; no need to continue."
Qing Lin withdrew the soul thorn and said: "Your strength is not bad. I am Qing Lin; nice to meet you."
Qing Luo nodded.
"I am Qing Luo."
The two became friends after a fight. At this time, they had some friendship different from the past.
Qing Luo could actually see that Qing Lin held back. Even if she used her trump card, it would probably be futile.
Seeing Qing Luo lose, the faces of the audience below were somewhat shocked.
The number one genius girl in the tribe actually lost like this?
Truly, there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
There are really many more experts in the Central Plains than in the Northwest Continent.
The battle ended, and Qing Lin left the martial arts stage with a calm expression.
She doesn't like males of the Snake People Tribe.
She didn't understand when she was young, but after growing up, she also vaguely knew what her mother had encountered.
Although that was the sorrow of being affected by war, as a daughter, how could she not feel angry for her mother?
Seeing the competition end, Han Feng also got up and left the spectator stand.
Snake People Hall.
At this time, Qing Lin was chatting with Qing Luo.
Qing Luo had almost never left the Snake Valley, so she also had some longing for the outside world.
After all, no matter how charming and moving her appearance is, she is just a girl of the same age as Qing Lin.
At this time, Qing Lin shared what she saw and heard outside with Qing Luo. Qing Luo listened very seriously, her eyes shining with light.
When she goes out, she also wants to visit the places Qing Lin mentioned.
Looking at the other party listening seriously, Qing Lin smiled slightly, actually feeling like an older sister.
Before, she was always the youngest in seniority. Now chatting with Qing Luo, she realized she is also an "elder".
On the other side, Han Feng chatted with Medusa about recent events.
The Snake Valley is ostensibly the gathering place of the Snake People Tribe and snake magical beasts, but secretly it is actually Han Feng's intelligence agency.
Some latest intelligence on the Hall of Souls is actually obtained from the Snake Valley.
The Snake Valley is the first-hand intelligence, then transferred to the Sky Fire Pavilion, and informed to Feng Xian in the Falling Star Pavilion by the Sky Fire Pavilion.
"Brought you some pills. These two bottles are for cultivation, and these two bottles are for healing."
Han Feng took out bottles of various sizes from his storage ring.
"Thank you."
Medusa said: "How is the situation with Cai'er?"
Han Feng smiled: "You two have a mutual understanding. You should know better than me how she is now."
Medusa shook her head: "I didn't feel anything, so I asked you."
"Don't worry. The backup plan I left on Cai'er is not broken; she should be fine for the time being."
"That's good."
Medusa nodded.
"I plan to arrange some reconnaissance formations in the Snake Valley. Does your Snake People Tribe have corresponding inheritances?"
Han Feng asked.
"Yes, of course, but not that high-level. If I can't sense it, then the formation is useless."
Han Feng nodded.
"Alright, then I'll place them after I find suitable formations."
The two chatted for a while longer. Seeing the time was about right, Han Feng called Qing Lin, bid farewell to Medusa and Qing Luo, and returned to the Falling Star Pavilion.
