76: Chapter 76 Tian Snake Mansion

"Yes, Lord Xiao Yan. I often hear about you from the Saintess..."

"Brother Xiao Yan, how did you and Qing Lin meet?" Xun'er, walking beside Xiao Yan, asked curiously after hearing Ye Jing speak.

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin and recounted his experiences in Stone Desert City.

After hearing Xiao Yan's detailed explanation, a look of confusion appeared on Xun'er's pretty face, and she asked: "Brother Xiao Yan, when you told me about the Green Lotus Core Flame before, why didn't you mention these things?"

"I didn't expect that a mere maid would possess such a rare Physique, so naturally, I didn't mention it to you, Xun'er." Xiao Yan explained helplessly. Xun'er didn't seem as gentle today as she usually was.

Of course, he wouldn't know the thoughts of a woman; simply failing to make a clear stance yesterday had caused Xun'er to have some negative thoughts.

However, upon hearing Xiao Yan's explanation, Xun'er nodded slightly. It was true; who could have imagined that a mere ordinary maid would possess such a rare Physique, and that a powerful force in the Northwest Continent would directly honor her as their Saintess?

Following Ye Jing for about twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the most central and magnificent part of this complex, a massive building resembling a Western castle.

Looking at it, countless spires and pavilions shot straight into the sky, adding a unique sense of beauty to this imposing architectural complex.

Before them stood a gate with green as the main color and gold as the trim. The gate was dozens of meters high, yet only seven or eight meters wide. This unique structure created a rather noble atmosphere.

Following Ye Jing through the gate, they entered a great hall that could accommodate thousands of people. Passing the white stone platform in the hall, they entered the inner palace.

As soon as they entered, they saw Zi Yan with her purple hair, pouting and arguing with a young man about something.

Beside Zi Yan sat a woman in green. She did not look young, and she was watching the two arguing beside her with great interest.

"Hmph, isn't it just taking a few medicinal Materials? Is it worth nitpicking until now?"

The young man was dressed in white, his angry eyes seemingly spitting fire. Those medicinal Materials were prepared for his Breakthrough to Dou Wang; he never expected them to be completely stolen yesterday!

If the Old Ancestor hadn't discovered it in time, this girl with strange strength would have gotten them for nothing.

"Nitpicking? Do you know the value of those medicinal Materials? Hand them over now, and I might spare you. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!"

It wasn't that the young man hadn't threatened the purple-haired girl before, but she was impervious to reason. Moreover, even the Mansion Master, for some reason, hadn't retrieved the medicinal Materials and simply allowed her to move freely within the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Therefore, the young man had come in a fit of rage, attempting to get the medicinal Materials back. After all, this concerned his promotion to Dou Wang; if these Materials were missing, he didn't know how much longer it would be delayed.

Zi Yan glanced at the woman in green sitting on the side. She didn't directly beat the young man down, but she still wanted to say something. However, she heard the sound of the door opening and looked toward the sound, feeling overjoyed.

"Xiao Yan! You're finally here! Wuwu... Do you know how hard I've been waiting for you..."

Zi Yan jumped off her seat and ran toward Xiao Yan, seemingly wanting him to stand up for her.

But Xiao Yan's face darkened at this moment; he had heard all the conversation just now.

"How many times have I told you? Find wild medicinal Materials, don't steal them. Why do you never listen?" Xiao Yan pressed a fist onto Zi Yan's head, blaming her.

"Return the medicinal Materials to others. Haven't I given you enough these past few days?"

Under Xiao Yan's scolding, Zi Yan reluctantly took out the dozens of medicinal Materials she had stolen and threw them on the ground with a look of disdain.

She wasn't stupid; she knew the difference between a full meal every time and just one meal.

Looking at Zi Yan, who was showing her fangs and smiling at him, Xiao Yan reached out and patted her head, then looked at the mature woman in green who had been sitting beside Zi Yan.

The woman in green rose from her seat, bowed slightly to Xiao Yan, and said: "Mr. Xiao Yan, welcome to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said: "Zi Yan has caused you trouble. If your mansion has suffered any losses, I can compensate you according to the value."

"Hehe, there is no need. Mr. Xiao Yan, have you come to look for Saintess Qing Lin?" The woman in green smiled slightly at Xiao Yan and added: "My name is Lü Man. It was I who brought Qing Lin back from the Tagor Desert."

"I have come this time, firstly to visit the Xiao Family, and secondly to see Qing Lin. By the way, is Qing Lin adapting well to staying in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?" Xiao Yan nodded and asked.

"The Heavenly Serpent Mansion treats Qing Lin according to the highest standards, so naturally, there will be no mistreatment. Mr. Xiao Yan can rest assured about this. In our eyes, Qing Lin's status is far higher than you imagine," Lü Man said.

Even as an elderly Dou Huang expert, she did not show any senior airs in front of Xiao Yan. After all, in this continent where strength is respected, the young man before her was undoubtedly worthy of respect.

However, Lü Man truly could not understand. Qing Lin had told her before that the youth named Xiao Yan was only a Great Dou Master half a year ago!

Thinking of this, Lü Man could not help but heave slightly. The youth before her was far beyond the Realm of a Great Dou Master. Before Xiao Yan entered, she had sensed a terrifying Aura like that of a prehistoric beast.

Under her perception, there were three people: one was Ye Jing in the Dou Ling Realm, and the other was a woman whose specific Realm she could not sense, but could still detect—the woman in the green dress standing quietly beside Xiao Yan.

Although she found it strange that she could not sense the Realm of the woman in the green dress, she was not too surprised, as many things could achieve the effect of concealing one's Aura.

But when Xiao Yan came before her, an unfathomable pressure struck her face, making her feel as if she wanted to tremble and kneel. This was an unprecedented feeling; even when facing the Old Mansion Master, she had never felt such palpitations!

Perhaps the stronger this pressure was, the more clearly it could be felt!

Of course, Xiao Yan also understood this feeling of Lü Man's.

Once one reached the level of a Dou Huang, one could use the Dou Qi within the body to resonate with the heaven and earth energy of the outside world, thereby manipulating external energy and unleashing unparalleled strength.

This was also one of the reasons why countless people were in awe of a Dou Huang expert. Below the Realm of Dou Huang, one could not mobilize the heaven and earth energy for their own use, and when facing human-wave tactics, one could only end in defeat.

But once one reached the Dou Huang Realm, everything changed; human-wave tactics from lower Realms were undoubtedly a joke.

And Xiao Yan, during the Dou Wang stage, was already able to use pure and vast Dou Qi to resonate with external energy, reaching the level of manipulating heaven and earth energy.

Not only that, but at that time, Xiao Yan could already utilize spatial abilities to a certain extent, hovering in the air for a short time.

However, what about Xiao Yan at the Dou Zong Realm now?

One must know that the further Xiao Yan's strength improved, the more terrifying the increase in strength became.
