Chapter 159 Why is it the Fifth Elder again?
Snake Seven is diligently digging for spiritual herbs, choosing the mountains surrounding the Southern Spirit Sect.
After all, the medicinal herb gardens on the inner peaks all have owners, and they still need to continue living in the Southern Spirit Sect, so they can't just do something like stealing.
Of course, the reason they were so diligently digging for medicinal herbs had to start with their young master.
Their young master felt embarrassed about freeloading off that young girl every day, so he sent the two of them out to work, hoping to dig up more medicinal herbs and hand them over.
As Snake Seven was digging, he suddenly felt a shadow looming over him.
A very polite voice asked from the side, "Hello, is this the Nanling Sect?"
Without hesitation, Snake Seven replied, "Of course it's the Southern Spirit Sect. This entire mountain range is within their sphere of influence."
The little snake beside him was very satisfied, nodded, and continued flying towards the inner perimeter of the Southern Spirit Sect.
Once the small black snake flew away, Snake Seven, who had transformed into human form, realized that the one who had just asked him for directions didn't seem to be human!
It looks like a snake, and it even has wings.
Holy crap, wings!
Isn't this the Tengshe demon clan from the Eastern Region? I've heard that the Tengshe demon clan has a rare bloodline, with only about ten in the entire Eastern Region, and each one is incredibly powerful.
Especially the Vine Serpent Demon Clan, which is capable of flooding a portion of the Eastern Region.
Because the number of demon clans is relatively small, they attach great importance to the young Tengshe, and they usually stay on the East China Sea Peninsula.
So the little snake that just appeared was a juvenile Teng Snake?
What are the cubs doing here all of a sudden?
Snake Seven shuddered, his expression suddenly turning strange. Could this young Teng Snake be looking for its mother?
Although everyone knows that the Crimson Moon Sect Master only has one daughter, what if she was pregnant with Egg Baby before leaving the Demon Realm?
No, this matter is of utmost importance. He must report it to the young master so that the young master can make preparations in advance.
The nemesis who has been keeping an eye on the young master, although not a member of the Tengshe demon clan, would be in big trouble if this little guy accidentally revealed the young master's whereabouts!
Just as Snake Seven was about to leave, another small green snake appeared behind him.
The little green snake looked flustered, glancing around as if searching for something.
However, this sky-blue color looked strangely familiar.
Snake Seven thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who this snake was.
On the contrary, Snake Nine on the other side swam over with delight after seeing him.
"Seventh Brother, it's actually you!" Snake Nine cried tears of joy.
He was originally just a minor demon under the command of the Tengshe Demon Lord, and was not worth mentioning compared to the other seniors.
However, it was his communication stone that brought the message to the Demon Lord that day, so in addition to the burrowing rat under the Demon Lord's command who could make demons invisible, he was also brought along.
Before arriving in the Southern Region, countless demons in the Eastern Region were extremely envious.
Only Snake Nine himself knows that these are all tears!
The Demon Lord was already incredibly powerful, and he also had a pair of wings on his back. When he traveled, he was like a dark lightning bolt, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
He was just a minor demon, and it was already difficult for him to keep up, and he kept losing track of him.
If he hadn't known that the Demon Lord's destination was the Southern Spirit Sect, he probably wouldn't have known where to go halfway.
Luckily, a burrowing rat was nearby and followed the scent, allowing him to catch up quickly.
To Snake Nine's greatest surprise, he actually saw Snake Seven!
Snake Seven and Snake Nine – just from their names, you can tell they are all demonic snakes born from the same nest.
However, Snake Seven was born pink, which didn't match the other snake brothers at all, and it was often ridiculed by other demons.
Later, Snake Seven followed another demon lord from the Eastern Region and gradually disappeared.
I never expected to end up on human territory, and to receive such important information!
This guy was the first to know that the Demon Lord's wife was in the Southern Region. As long as we keep a close eye on her, how could we not find the Demon Lord?
So Snake Nine stopped looking for the Demon Lord and just followed behind Seventh Brother.
Snake Seven stared at the man for a long time before finally learning from him that this was his ninth brother.
There was no way around it; he was face-blind, and even if his other brothers came together, they might not be able to recognize him.
"You came here with your young master too?"
Snake Nine shook his head: "We don't have a young master, we only have a demon lord, who is probably already at the Southern Spirit Sect."
Snake Seven: "!!!!"
Holy crap, it turns out to be another demon lord from the Eastern Region!
He hurriedly led his brothers back, abandoning the search for medicinal herbs altogether.
This is of utmost importance, why bother digging for miraculous herbs?
He had to tell his young master immediately!
The pink snake flew away quickly, while the Teng Snake looked at the protective array within the inner perimeter of the Nanling Sect with a worried expression.
He could indeed force his way in, but that would certainly attract the attention of the Southern Spirit Sect.
Tengshe only wants to find a wife as soon as possible and has no desire to get entangled with the sects of the human race.
So what should we do now? How can we deceive the Southern Spirit Sect?
At this moment, Tengshe saw a very cute little hedgehog. The little hedgehog was just an ordinary animal, not even a spirit beast.
However, it had small, red prickly claws on its back, each claw holding a bright red fruit.
When the disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect arrived, the little hedgehog hopped over to them and offered them its fruit.
Her pair of bright black eyes looked both cute and silly.
"This is too cute! I can't take it!" A female disciple of the Southern Spirit Sect suppressed her scream and quietly approached the little hedgehog.
Like the female disciple, a group of Nanling Sect disciples soon arrived. They all surrounded the little hedgehog, chattering away, and each of them took something to feed it.
Before long, the little hedgehog was covered with all kinds of fruits. It happily held the red fruits in its hands and lay in the female disciple's palm with a blissful expression.
While Tengshe was deep in thought, the little hedgehog had already been taken away by the female disciple, and the protective array of the Southern Spirit Sect did not react at all.
However, when other animals tried to rush in, they were blocked by the transparent array.
Not long after, the little hedgehog that had followed that group into the Nanling Sect's formation hopped back.
It hid the fruit on its body in a small hole, and then, holding only the smallest red fruit, reappeared at the entrance of the Nanling Sect's protective formation.
Following that, several more disciples from the Southern Spirit Sect arrived. After feeding the adorable little hedgehog for a while, they took it inside.
But after a short while, the little hedgehog came back again!
Upon seeing this, Tengshe understood.
Perhaps he doesn't need to force his way through to enter the Southern Spirit Sect's protective formation; he can outsmart them!
Not long after, a small snake appeared at the entrance of the Nanling Sect's formation. It silently knocked out the little hedgehog, placed it under the big tree where it hid things, then folded its wings and stood where the little hedgehog had been.
However, the scene was different from what Tengshe had expected; the Nanling Sect disciples entering and leaving the formation didn't seem to care much about him.
They came and went in a hurry, without even glancing at this place.
He fell into deep thought again, wondering where exactly it was lacking. Wasn't his shrunken form cute?
But a hundred years ago, Yueyue said he was the cutest!
So these people must be blind!
As these people came and went in and out of the formation, some of the disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect even brought back their spirit beasts.
Those pets even looked at him smugly!
Tengshe couldn't resist any longer. After thinking it over carefully, it silently ran back, placed the unconscious little hedgehog on its head, and stood at the entrance of the formation once more.
"Wow, how adorable! This little snake is actually carrying the little hedgehog on its back!"
"That's really strange, can a snake and a hedgehog really be a pair?"
Amidst the chatter of these people, Tengshe, relying on the "beauty" of the little hedgehog, successfully blended in.
Honey, I'm here!
"Hey, there seems to be a little black snake with a hedgehog on its head here. Is it in a hurry to save the little hedgehog's life?"
Just as Wanxing was about to leave the Nanling Sect, she saw this strange little snake.
"Never mind, I'd better hurry back to the Forgotten Dust Sect. It seems like Sister Feng has something urgent to attend to."
She didn't dare to delay and quickly disappeared.
Only that day did the little snake turn its head to look at her, its face full of surprise and uncertainty.
He seemed to smell a familiar scent, but this person wasn't Yueyue.
The little black snake quickly put the matter out of its mind.
My wife is still the most important!
At this moment, the familiar voice of the Southern Spirit Sect rang out once again.
[Lan Yue: Another batch of points has been credited to my account. I'll be paying off my huge debt soon. Now that I've almost finished researching the formation, let me dig out some fresh gossip.]
[Huh, it's the Fifth Elder again? His family's gossip has been updated again!]
