The Dominating Queen Medusa

"Your man?"

The square of Yunlan Mountain fell into a deathly silence. After a moment, whispers broke out; those words were like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

"Old Sect Master Yun Shan, this man is named Chu Chen. Previously, when I entered the Snake-People Desert to seize the Heavenly Flame, I was ambushed by the elders of the Snake-People Tribe and suffered heavy casualties. The leader was this Chu Chen. He is the husband of Queen Medusa! If Old Sect Master Yun Shan is willing to detain this man, I, Gu He, along with the forces behind me, am willing to submit to the Yunlan Sect!" Gu He said hurriedly.

"Husband? Over the past few hundred years, there has been no shortage of those expressing their love for Queen Medusa, but the consequences were always miserable. I didn't expect you, Queen Medusa, to have this kind of taste." After a moment of deep shock, Yun Shan regained his composure and spoke.

"This King likes whoever she likes and loves whoever she loves; it has nothing to do with you." Medusa's voice was laced with a chilling frost.

Yun Shan shrugged. Although he had now broken through to the Dou Zong realm, he still did not dare to strike at Queen Medusa, and his tone became more amiable.

"Now that you have appeared, what are your intentions?"

"According to him: Gu He dies, or your Yunlan Sect is destroyed."

As soon as Medusa finished speaking, she slowly scanned the area below. At this moment, everyone's expressions froze. Countless wary gazes looked toward the peerless beauty in the sky, and Dou Qi of various colors quickly enveloped their bodies.

"What bold words! Although you have broken through to Dou Zong, do not forget that I, Yun Shan, am also a Dou Zong. The relationship between the Snake-People Tribe and Jiama has never been good. What? Does the Queen wish to declare war on the Jiama Empire? There are several experts of the empire here, plus the disciples of Yunlan Mountain. You are being far too arrogant." Yun Shan said calmly.

Chu Chen's gaze slowly swept around. The Yunlan Sect had three elders at the Dou Wang level, the Dou Zong expert Yun Shan, and the Dou Huang expert Yun Yun—though she was not on the mountain. On the Stone Platform, the Mu Clan and the Nalan Clan each had a Dou Wang expert, plus Xingtian, a peak Dou Huang, and Fa Ma Mu, a Dou Huang!

"I have a Dou Zong expert, and naturally, I have Dou Huang experts as well." Chu Chen lightly patted Queen Medusa's jade shoulder and stepped forward.

"Roar!" A low lion's roar suddenly erupted, sounding quite unusual.

A flash of purple light streaked through the air. The Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had been hiding among the surrounding great trees, quickly appeared before everyone, its Dou Huang aura diffusing without concealment.

"Pill King, how does the taste of the Sealing Technique feel?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King laughed loudly.

"Amethyst Winged Lion King! Dammit, it's you again! Do you know that your Shapeshifting Pill came from my hands?"

"So what? If it weren't for Chu Chen, would you have been willing to give that pill to me?"

With that, the Amethyst Winged Lion King slightly raised its chin, adopting a regal attitude of looking down on everyone, its gaze filled with majesty.

"The King of the Magic Beast Forest, the Amethyst Winged Lion King. I didn't expect you to take human form and stand by Chu Chen's side. Aren't you afraid that having just shifted, I will beat you into ashes?" Facing the gaze of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Yun Shan spoke very casually.

"That is not something Sect Master Yun Shan needs to worry about." Chu Chen interrupted, the triple-flower pattern in his eyes beginning to emit dots of green light, and the aura around him suddenly shifted.

"Those eyes..." Yun Shan couldn't help but take a step back again.

In the next second, space trembled slightly. The entire Yunlan Mountain seemed to encounter an earthquake, suddenly shaking.

"What's the situation? An earthquake?"

"Impossible! I've been here for so many years and never encountered an earthquake."

"Strange, why did the sky turn dark?"

"Heavens, what is that!"

Everyone from the Yunlan Sect looked up simultaneously. At this moment, the sky above Yunlan Mountain suddenly darkened, blotting out the sun. A massive Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor had appeared above everyone at some unknown point.

Beside Chu Chen, three great snakes of different forms slowly materialized.

One was red, surrounded by flames, with two massive heads spitting lava.

One was green, with a triangular poisonous head and sharp scales as hard as rock.

One was white, with white scales all over, a small horn on its head, and nostrils breathing white flames.

With such a ferocious presence, all three great snakes had reached the strength of Dou Ling experts!

"The Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor and three Dou Ling level Magic Beasts—is this your trump card? I truly underestimated you." On the Stone Platform, Xingtian's forehead was covered in cold sweat before he knew it.

"Is this the reason you bet your entire clan? This person is indeed extraordinary," Fa Ma Mu subconsciously glanced at Hai Ba Dong and said.

One Dou Zong, three Dou Huangs, and four Dou Lings!

"No, and Hai Ba Dong said there were four Dou Huangs." Gu He gritted his teeth.

Seeing such a terrifying lineup, the atmosphere at the scene felt like it had sunk into a swamp—stifling and terrifying.

Standing still in mid-air for a long time, Yun Shan was somewhat dazed.

"Gu He is a nominal elder of the Yunlan Sect. Queen Medusa, don't you think you are going too far? Those sitting here are all prestigious figures of the Jiama Empire. If today's matter spreads and my Yunlan Sect is destroyed and loses an elder, how can we stand firm in Jiama anymore!" Yun Shan's tone suddenly turned cold, and everyone on the Stone Platform frowned simultaneously.

Facing Yun Shan's pressure, Queen Medusa admired her slender, snow-white jade fingers and said nonchalantly, "No need to speak to This King. This King has no interest in listening. Speak to him."

Facing Yun Shan's pressure, Chu Chen was neither arrogant nor humble, saying as usual, "Gu He invaded my Snake-People Tribe, causing destruction everywhere and triggering a great war. In Jiama, he even joined another of your elders to hunt me down. Hmph, I haven't settled that debt yet. As for the reputation of your Yunlan Sect, I don't care. It's still those two choices: Gu He disappears, or the Yunlan Sect disappears from the Jiama Empire."

"You brat, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Do you really think my Yunlan Sect has no one? Old Sect Master, you absolutely cannot let this brat have his way! Elder Gu He absolutely cannot be handed over!" Yun Ling shouted, his neck turning red with anger.

Such a matter didn't just anger Yun Ling; all the Yunlan Sect disciples were extremely furious, standing up and shouting their protests.

For a moment, the noise caused Queen Medusa, who preferred quiet, to knit her willow-like brows, her enchanting eyes instantly shining with great light.

Her exquisite red shoes lightly took a step in mid-air.

"Noisy."

As soon as her voice fell, almost as if her words were law, a small crack appeared in the middle of the square without any sign.

In an instant, that small crack was like a chain reaction, quickly exploding and spreading to the surroundings. Shattered stones and debris spread directly toward the Stone Platform.

With such speed and destructive power, the massive Stone Platform began to shake slightly.

*Whoosh—* if not stopped, the stone steps on the square would collapse in just a moment!

"Enough!"

Yun Shan's expression suddenly changed. Transparent and hard wind walls appeared on all four sides, timely protecting the Stone Platform, and the traces of shattering were finally blocked.

Looking toward Gu He, Yun Shan let out a helpless sigh.

"The matter of Elder Gu He... I will no longer interfere. You all handle it yourselves."
