btth: receive your own sucide note

  Without a doubt, I'm talking about the Soul Palace!

  For the Soul Clan's so-called Millennium Plan, the Soul Palace will never remain silent and will sooner or later take action.

  Harvesting souls is a necessary part of this plan!

  Without the ambitious Lion Nether Sect, the Soul Palace can still control the Tiger Nether Sect, the Horse Nether Sect, or other sects, launching wars and decimating clans and nations.

  Therefore, the only solution is to completely eradicate the Soul Palace branches in the northwest. This is both a temporary and fundamental solution!

  Without the Soul Palace's maneuvers, Chen Guan imagined that the entire northwest would become much simpler, making it much harder for the Soul Palace to infiltrate.

  "As long as you have the arrangements, we old guys will follow your command,"

  Jia Xingtian said with a smile, and the group raised their glasses to express their agreement, without any objection.

  After several years of development, these original forces had long since seen the situation clearly. The only best strategy was to follow the Heavenly Alliance to the end.

  "Well, there's no rush for this matter. We'll talk about it later. Everyone, let's drink together. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"

  Chen Guan stopped there, not mentioning the main business.

  ...

  The next day.

  The Phantom Poisonous Monster also arrived at the Monster Mountain Range.

  "I used some means to locate the remnants of the Lion Nether Sect who had contact with them. From them, I learned that these two children come from a humble family, from a small fishing village. Although they haven't yet practiced cultivation, they live off the land and the water, and are relatively well-off.

  But one night a few days ago, a poison master suddenly passed through the fishing village and began a murderous spree without warning, leaving rivers of blood everywhere he went. Just as the poison master was about to attack the family, the Second Elder of the Lion Nether Sect appeared, forcefully killed the poison master, and took the family to the Lion Nether Sect. I went to the small town of the Tang family to inquire, and it's true."

  As Chen Guan offered him tea, the Phantom Poisonous Monster recounted the information he had gathered.

  "What a coincidence?"

  "Yes, I found it strange too, so I investigated further. Sure enough, I discovered that all this was orchestrated by the Second Elder himself. Initially, they thought the two children were potential alchemists and took good care of them. But after examining them, they discovered they lacked the Wood attribute, so they abandoned them. Furthermore, their parents have since disappeared."

  Chen Guan nodded gently. At this point, there was no need to question them further.

  After sending the old monster Youdu away, Chen Guan went alone to the courtyard the Serpent People had arranged for the siblings. He saw Zi Yan had arrived earlier, sitting in the courtyard with the air of a little adult, recounting her glorious exploits to the siblings.

  The daily lives of the little dragons were so monotonous...

  perhaps because Yao Yue had grown up and wasn't as easily fooled as before, they had found a new target.

  Listening to Zi Yan's boasts, her brother's expression was serious, as if he didn't fully believe her, but his eyes shone with a thirst for power.

  On the other hand, the younger sister was more respectful. She grasped Zi Yan's hand, her eyes sparkling with admiration, the very image of a little fangirl, her occasional exclamations of surprise making Zi Yan incredibly satisfied.

  Overall, their relationship was quite pleasant.

  Chen Guan watched from outside, but one thought involuntarily crossed his mind.

  This return was essentially a happy reunion, except for...

  Qinglin!

  Thinking of this heartbreakingly sensible girl, Chen Guan's thoughts were troubled.

  The reason he had allowed Lu Man to take Qinglin away was primarily to ensure her continued growth and maximize the development and utilization of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils.   

  Five or six years have passed, and I think it should be about time.

  Once the thought came to mind, it was hard to shake it off. Not one to hesitate, Chen Guan instantly made up his mind and ascended into the void.

  "I'm visiting the Heavenly Serpent Palace. I'll be back within three days!"

  ...

  The Heavenly Serpent Empire.

  This empire is immensely vast, occupying the southern corner of the northwest continent. Its land area is three or five times the size of the former Gama Empire.

  Of course, that was in the past.

  Today, after a period of consolidation, the Gama Empire is no less powerful than the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

  Similar to the Gama Empire, there is only one voice within the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

  That is the Heavenly Serpent Palace!

  A formidable power that has consistently ranked among the top ten in the northwest for nearly a hundred years! The

  powerful Heavenly Serpent Palace controls all of the Heavenly Serpent Empire's resources, forcing other smaller and medium-sized forces to survive under its authority.

  Even the Heavenly Serpent Empire's royal family is directly affiliated with the Heavenly Serpent Palace. Every emperor needs the approval of the Heavenly Serpent Palace Master before he can ascend the throne.

  Such power can only be described as utterly dominating.

  In comparison, the Heavenly Alliance, while capable of doing the same, was far more subdued.

  The mighty Heavenly Snake Palace naturally possessed no shortage of top-tier combatants, boasting over two hands' worth of Dou Zong masters.

  The Palace Master of the Heavenly Snake Palace, in particular, had already reached the peak of Dou Zong power years ago. Now, he remained hidden from the public eye. Rumors circulated that he was in seclusion in an unknown location, poised to ascend to Dou Zun status at any moment!

  However, to everyone's astonishment, after several years, there had been no reports of this elusive Palace Master ascending to Dou Zun status. Instead, the rising Heavenly Snake Saintess achieved this feat first!

  "Speaking of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Snake Palace, she is a remarkable person. She possesses a unique physique, the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil!"

  "It is said that people with such a physique can achieve twice the result with half the effort in their cultivation. They don't even need to cultivate deliberately, and their strength will continue to improve. This sounds incredible, and many people didn't believe it at the beginning. But facts have proved that the rumors are true." "

  The Holy Maiden was brought back by two elders of the Heavenly Snake Palace about five or six years ago. At that time, the Holy Maiden was still a little girl who had just started practicing Dou Qi. Her body was also extremely weak. But just like this, in just a few years, her strength soared all the way, and she soon surpassed the original Holy Son, and then surpassed the elders, until... surpassed the rumored Palace Master!"

  "A Dou Zun powerhouse! This is the first time I've seen such a powerful person in my life. That day, the wind was blowing and the clouds were surging. Within a radius of a thousand miles, all the energy of heaven and earth gathered here, so thick that it almost formed liquid. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in Heavenly Snake City, the Holy Maiden soared into the sky..."

  Heavenly Snake City is not the capital of the Heavenly Snake Empire, but it is better than the capital.

  Because this is where the Heavenly Serpent Mansion is located!

  Those who can live here, more or less, have a close relationship with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

  At this moment, inside a teahouse, an old man was talking incessantly, vividly recounting the deeds of the Heavenly Serpent Saint to those who came to pay their respects. Like a faucet, he started talking without stopping.

  Listening to the old man's story, the teahouse was filled with amazement and exclamations.

  Many people heard it before, but they still couldn't help but sigh.

  This Heavenly Serpent Saint, really is...

  awesome!
