172: Submit to this king, and I will give you wealth and glory

“Who is the Sect Leader fighting?”

“Who came?”

The Elders and subordinates of the Eight Gates all rushed towards the backyard of the auction house, the Sect Leader's residence, which was also the source of the Aura.

However, as soon as they arrived in the courtyard, a huge roar sounded in their ears, startling everyone.

The roof of the house in front was blown off by the Qi wave, and bricks, stones, and wood chips flew everywhere.

From a cloud of smoke, a figure flew out, hitting the ground and rolling a few times before stopping.

“Sect Leader?!”

The next second, the Eight Gates members who recognized the figure were stunned.

In such a short time, the Sect Leader had been severely injured?

Some people in the back slowly retreated, realizing it was not good and turning to flee.

“Is there or isn't there?”

Lin Xiu emerged from the smoke.

Everyone looked at this young man, somewhat incredulous; he was so young, yet he could beat the Sect Leader into such a state.

“You are actually a Dou Huang?!”

As Yuan Yi spoke, he continuously vomited blood, looking extremely miserable, his finger pointing at Lin Xiu trembling uncontrollably.

His eyes were filled with deep regret.

He only wanted to fish, but how did a human-shaped Demonic Beast appear instead?

Lin Xiu frowned, asking again.

However, Yuan Yi seemed to have been stimulated too severely, and his mind was troubled, always answering irrelevantly.

Lin Xiu directly killed him, then checked his naring, but found nothing after a search.

“Whoever knows where the Eight Ridges Demon Needle Fruit is, I will spare his life.”

Turning his head, Lin Xiu spoke to the crowd of people.

Only at this moment did those people realize that the Sect Leader had actually been killed!

Someone wanted to escape.

But as soon as he turned around, he was inexplicably engulfed by flames, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a pile of black ash.

“Hiss…”

The others dared not move rashly.

After some effort, Lin Xiu successfully obtained the Eight Ridges Demon Needle Fruit from the warehouse.

Before leaving, he took all the accumulated treasures of the Eight Gates with him.

As for the sudden change in Black Seal City, Lin Xiu didn't pay much attention to it.

“Next time, I'll bring Zi Yan along; that girl has a natural sense for Heaven And Earth Treasure.”

To prevent Yuan Yi's Relics from causing unnecessary bloodshed, Lin Xiu thoroughly searched with his Soul Power, making sure there were no omissions before leaving.

This took quite a bit of time.

After leaving Black Seal City.

A hint of coolness came from Lin Xiu's hand.

Seven-Colored light emerged, and Queen Medusa's figure appeared.

She looked Lin Xiu up and down, a flicker of satisfaction in her beautiful eyes.

This search speed, compared to Xiao Yan, showed an attitude ten or even a hundred times better.

“Are you willing to go to the Tagor Desert with this Queen?”

Queen Medusa had the idea of recruiting him; such a talented Cultivator and a Human who keeps his promises are rare.

“What do you mean?”

Lin Xiu was stunned.

“Submit to this Queen, and in the future, when this Queen takes over the Gama Empire, any territory, wealth, or beautiful women, you can choose as you please.”

Her fair chin slightly raised, a hint of confidence appeared on Medusa's delicate face.

As long as she completed the Soul Fusion, she would truly be a Dou Zong, and the power of the Jama Empire Royal Family would not be able to stop the Snake-People Tribe from leaving the desert.

But such a large territory, the Snake-People Tribe couldn't fully occupy it.

Moreover, there were so many Humans; it was better to keep them to serve the tribesmen than to kill them.

And the Human Race needed someone to rule them, and this Lin Xiu was clearly a good candidate.

Oh, so she wants me to be her subordinate?

Lin Xiu finally understood, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

A mere Dou Zong, look how proud you are.

Is being a Dou Zong so impressive?

His somewhat disdainful expression was caught by Queen Medusa.

“Do you look down on this Queen? Are you questioning this Queen's strength?”

Queen Medusa's expression became serious, her arms crossed over her chest.

This was a gesture she had learned from Human kingdoms.

Whenever she wanted to show deterrence, such a posture would always give people an Aura of power without anger.

However.

What Medusa didn't know was that the premise of such a gesture was that the superior needed sufficient strength to suppress the subordinate for it to be effective.

For example, at this moment, Lin Xiu was not afraid of her at all.

In terms of strength, he was not Medusa's opponent yet, but Medusa wanting to control him was still not enough.

Simply activating Three Thousand Lightning Movement would be enough for Medusa to chase for a long time.

Therefore, Lin Xiu's gaze was naturally drawn to the high, snow-white curves that were pushed up.

“Do the beautiful women you mentioned include yourself?”

Lin Xiu's mouth suddenly curved into a smile.

As the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa possessed an air of majesty, but as a born Snake-Person, she also had an innate charm emanating from her bones.

These two temperaments blended together, adding many colors to her invisibly, making people want to conquer her.

“Presumptuous!”

Medusa was startled and angered, her fair arm shot out, grabbing Lin Xiu's neck, pushing him back, breaking more than a dozen large trees, until he crashed into the mountain wall.

“Do you still want the Soul Fusion Pill?”

Possessing the physique of a sixth-tier Demonic Beast, this impact did not injure Lin Xiu, but he was somewhat displeased, and his tone became cold.

Hearing this, Medusa stared into Lin Xiu's eyes; seeing that he didn't flinch at all, she couldn't help but let go, “You can refine a sixth-grade Medicinal Pill?”

“I can, but if you treat me like this, even if I refine it, would you still dare to eat it?”

Lin Xiu rubbed his neck, where the lingering coldness had not yet dissipated.

Snake blood is inherently cold, and Medusa's body temperature was naturally a bit lower than his.

“Considering this is your first time, this Queen will not pursue it, but if there is a next time, you will surely end up like those people, without even bones remaining.”

Medusa turned her head to the side, conjuring a robe to cover her delicate body.

After waiting for a while, receiving no response, Medusa found Lin Xiu had walked away, and immediately chased after him.

“All the Materials are here, aren't you going to refine the Medicinal Pill?” Medusa asked.

Lin Xiu remained silent.

“Are you lying to this Queen? You're not actually a sixth-grade Alchemist, are you?” Medusa continued to ask.

Lin Xiu ignored her.

Whoosh!

Medusa blocked Lin Xiu's path, “Give this Queen the Pill Formula and the Materials; you don't need to refine the Soul Fusion Pill. This Queen's promise to you is still valid, how about it?”

Lin Xiu acted as if he didn't see her, turned a corner, and walked past her.

Is he angry? No way, is he that petty? Does he want this Queen to apologize to him?

Looking at Lin Xiu's back, Medusa's exquisite face twitched slightly, and she gritted her teeth.

It was precisely because she understood Lin Xiu's strength that she didn't try to snatch it.

If they really fell out, she wouldn't gain much advantage, and the Pill Formula was still in Lin Xiu's hands.

“He's not even as good as Xiao Yan; at least that boy can talk. If all else fails, this Queen can still intimidate him a bit.”

A hint of helplessness flashed in Medusa's eyes, and her figure transformed into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, re-coiling around Lin Xiu's wrist.

This time, Lin Xiu did not refuse.

After leaving Black Seal City, Lin Xiu successively went to the Di Yan Sect and the Blood Sect.

With the leaders of both forces gone, it was natural to plunder them.

The Di Yan Sect's leader had probably only been gone for a short time, so all the Sect's treasures were still there, but the Blood Sect was different; upon arrival, the original site showed signs of ruin.

“This is the Black-Corner Region.”

Lin Xiu estimated that after Han Feng and his group retreated from the academy, someone had already moved against the Blood Sect, “Fan Lao's naring is with me, so there might not be anything valuable left within the Sect.”

Withdrawing his gaze from the ruins, Lin Xiu's feet lit up with lightning, and his figure flickered a few times, reaching the sky and becoming a black dot.

The most important task at hand was still to improve his Aptitude, as it directly related to daily strength progression; the sooner he improved, the sooner he would enjoy the benefits.

Therefore, Lin Xiu prepared to refine the Soul Fusion Pill.
