btth: receive your own sucide note

Qinglin, possessing the physique of a Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil and possessing the strength of a two-star Dou Zun, is undoubtedly a powerful force against most snake-like monsters in this Beast Domain.

  Chen Guan simply wanted her to capture a local snake to gather information, but he didn't expect that a few minutes later, Qinglin would bring back an eight-star Dou Zong-level Nine Nether Earth Python.

  With such strength, he could surely hold the position of elder within the Nine Nether Earth Python.

  Looking at the vacant-eyed 'local snake,' it was clear that he had been controlled by Qinglin, the matter was settled.

  Well, the Nine Nether Earth Python tribe numbers millions, and there are many who are not as good as the best, but better than the worst. There's no need to worry too much.

  "Tell me about the current situation in the Beast Domain. With the Nine Nether Earth Python's vast information network, they should have a more detailed understanding of the ancient ruins, right?"

  Chen Guan asked. However, the Nine Nether Earth Python elder remained silent until Qinglin kicked him, at which point he began to answer emotionlessly.

  "The Beast Domain is home to nearly 70% of the Warcraft clans in the Douqi Continent. It's the world of all kinds of Warcraft, including two of the three major clans in the Warcraft world: the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python. They both live here, with hundreds of subordinate Warcraft clans under their command. They are extremely powerful and have spies everywhere..."

  "This ancient ruin appeared in the Beast Skeleton Mountains in the Beast Domain. It's considered the territory of our Nine Nether Earth Python clan, about two days' journey from here. There are rumors outside that there are heaven-level fighting skills in the ruins, but this news was actually spread intentionally by our Nine Nether Earth Python clan to attract some greedy people to take the risk to enter and investigate. As for what exactly is inside the ruins, we don't know."

  "The only thing we know for sure is that within the ruins lies an ancient forest, filled with rare treasures rarely seen in the outside world. It's also guarded by numerous powerful magical beasts, some of them eighth-level. Nearly 80% of those who have entered to investigate in recent days have perished there."

  From the well-known distribution of forces within the Beast Realm to various details about this ancient ruin, Elder Nine Nether Earth Python unloaded everything, his precise and measured manner almost like a puppet.

  Chen Guan and the others, unfazed by his rambling, listened intently, extracting valuable intelligence.

  For example, they had previously been unaware of the many false reports spread by the Nine Nether Earth Python clan.

  However, Chen Guan knew that within these ancient ruins, there truly were many of the valuable items the Nine Nether Earth Python clan had mentioned. He wondered if the Nine Nether Earth Python clan would regret their loss after this incident.

  "Since the ancient ruins appeared in the Nine Netherworld Python territory, I'm sure you all have some idea of the forces that have arrived. Are there any signs of the Soul Palace?"

  "None. So far, over 120 forces, large and small, have appeared at the ancient ruins, including the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, our Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the Azure Luan Clan, the Water Clan, the Burning Flame Valley, the Yellow Springs Pavilion, the Falling Star Pavilion..."

  Known and unknow, they were all named like a dish.

  The knowledge that the Soul Palace was missing did not relax the group, but instead heightened their vigilance.

  Having dealt with the Soul Palace so many times, they knew their nature all too well. There was no way they could miss such an opportunity.

  The only explanation at the moment was that these shady old men were hiding in the shadows, and their leader was quite powerful, which was why they had managed to escape the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's notice.

  "Forget the Soul Palace. A thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against them for a thousand days. Change your appearance, go there as soon as possible, and act accordingly. Especially Zi Yan, you're too conspicuous."

  Having Qing Lin store the tool man within the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils space, Chen Guan made the decision.

  The Soul Palace's existence was a thorn in their side, but it shouldn't be a cause for fear.

  Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

  Then, the Little Medical Fairy pulled a stack of masks from her ring and distributed them. The Izumo Empire's mythical beast hide masks were truly unique, and during her free time in the northwest, she had collected more.

  Medusa and the others donned the masks, instantly transforming into unfamiliar faces. Then, slipping on loose black robes, they looked like completely different people.

  Chen Guan and the old monster Youdu were special, each possessing unique skills. They transformed themselves into two ordinary middle-aged men.

  As for Zi Yan, the most conspicuous, she had no choice but to follow the crowd under the intense gaze of the crowd. In a flash of purple light, she finally revealed her ability to change size at will before Medusa.

  "Ah, my clothes are so tight, Chen Guan, help me loosen them up! I can't breathe."

  Medusa's gaze flicked over as she finished speaking.

  Though calm and expressionless, Zi Yan, startled by the erratic behavior, stuck out her tongue repeatedly, not daring to utter another word. She obediently took out her loose black robe and put it on, chuckling.

  Chen Guan looked straight ahead, as if he hadn't heard her words. Seeing everyone ready, he immediately unfurled his form and swiftly sped towards the Beast Skeleton Mountains, home to the ancient ruins.

  ...

  The Beast Domain, while smaller in size than Zhongzhou, its endless, overlapping mountains, stretching as far as the eye can see, constantly exudes a uniquely wild and untamed aura not found in Zhongzhou. The

  so-called "hundred thousand mountains" is merely a figurative number here; if truly counted, it would undoubtedly far exceed that number.

  These mountains extend to places far beyond human reach. The passage of time has left countless treasures in these endless mountains, waiting for the right person to open them.   

  This ancient ruin is a case in point.

  The Skeleton Mountain Range is quite famous throughout the Beast Realm.

  This mountain range boasts a terrifying sea of skeletons, where countless azure white animal bones have been dumped. Over time, these bones gradually release the strange animal power contained within.

  This energy is useless to humans, but it is a valuable tonic for magical beasts. As a result, the Skeleton Mountain Range has become a favorite gathering place for many magical beasts.

  The Nine Netherworld Python Clan has reaped significant benefits from their control of this mountain range.

  Normally, outsiders are forbidden from entering without the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's permission.

  Unfortunately, the news of the ancient ruins leaked, and the temptation was too great. Even the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the third-ranked clan in the magical world, could not ignore the pressure from numerous forces and was forced to temporarily disclose the information.

  However, due to their advantageous location, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan undoubtedly possessed the most knowledge of this ancient ruin. The two

  -

  day journey the Nine Netherworld Python elder had predicted was more than enough for Chen Guan and his group. In less than a day, they could already see the striking white mountain range in the distance—and that was with some reservations. The

  Beast Territory was undoubtedly abuzz with the discovery of the ancient ruins. As they journeyed towards the Skeleton Mountain Range, Chen Guan and his companions encountered numerous powerful individuals clearly destined for the same destination.

  These included magical beasts transformed into humanoid forms, as well as powerful humans who had traveled from outside the Beast Territory.

  As they crossed paths, they sized each other up, each one wary.

  Just then, a group of unfamiliar, chilling figures appeared about a hundred feet to Chen Guan and his companions' right, observing them expressionlessly.

  Their leader, a Dou Zun-level warrior, was

  undoubtedly a figure of such prowess, even in Zhongzhou.

  But that was all.

  Seeing the group leave first, Chen Guan stopped paying attention. It wasn't

  until he turned around and noticed something was amiss with Xiao Yixian's expression that he realized something was amiss.

  "What's wrong?"

  "One of them has the Harrowing Poison Body!"

  "It just feels off to me. It doesn't seem quite...natural."

  Upon hearing this, Chen Guan instantly had a target in his mind.

  Acquired Harrowing Poison Body!

  Glacier Valley!!

  Yes, only someone from this faction could instill such a chilling chill.

  Previously, this faction had been a major topic of discussion, having repeatedly targeted Xiao Yixian.

  However, thanks to his intervention, those unpleasant incidents hadn't occurred. This was Chen Guan's first encounter with this faction.

  "Don't worry, peace is best. If they're courting disaster..."

  "Then I'll beat them all to death, all of them!"

  Zi Yan, pent up, interrupted, pumping her fist with energy.

  While her appearance had grown, her temper remained unchanged; she remained as ferocious as ever.

  Chen Guan smiled and nodded in agreement.

  With his current strength, he really doesn't take the Glacier Valley seriously.
