Above the boundless blue sky, three beams of light of different colors flashed across the sky one after another, splitting the white clouds into three cracks. After a long while, they gradually faded and disappeared.
The true source of these three beams of light was Lin Feng and his companions. Half a month had passed since Lin Feng broke through to the Perfected Mortal Realm. After his breakthrough, Lin Feng had become somewhat interested in battles at the Dou Zong realm. Thus, the frustrated Half-Saint Lizardman once again sacrificed the lives of more than a dozen seventh-tier clansmen.
As a result, Lin Feng's storage ring contained more than a dozen seventh-tier energy beads.
Recalling the Half-Saint Lizardman's gloomy lizard face, Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided that he shouldn't provoke these lizard tribes again. If one day they became enraged and disregarded the Dragon Emperor's orders, although he had the Dragon Emperor's essence blood to save his life, it would be a complete waste. Zhu Kun wouldn't waste his essence blood on him repeatedly.
As they pondered, Little Fairy Doctor and Rainbow Scales slowly came to a stop. A mountain range, stretching for countless miles and resembling a giant serpent, appeared before them.
"We've reached our destination, the Heavenly Serpent Mountain Range!"
Lin Feng murmured softly. After a brief discussion, the three set off again, their auras radiating without concealment. Rather than wasting time on some low-key, boastful act, it was better to make their stance clear from the start and attract the attention of the Heavenly Serpent Empire's higher-ups.
The undisguised release of their auras naturally drew the attention of many citizens of the Heavenly Serpent Empire. However, feeling the powerful aura flying overhead, many citizens, at most at the Dou Ling level, dared not even breathe.
Only after they had flown past for a considerable time did they slowly raise their heads, take a few rapid breaths, and exchange an unconscious glance, their eyes filled with shock.
"Something big is about to happen in the Heavenly Serpent Empire!"
Flying at full speed at the Dou Zong level, he soon arrived at the center of the Heavenly Serpent Empire. As for why he didn't go to the Heavenly Serpent Palace, well, sorry, Lin Feng didn't know where it was located.
After all, the Heavenly Serpent Palace was a powerful sect with at least high-level Dou Zong or even Dou Zun experts, so it would naturally have its own space where powerful figures lived. Even with Lin Feng's current perfected Mortal Realm soul power, it would be difficult for him to detect them.
Therefore, after a little thought, Lin Feng decided to go to the capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire first, with the biggest local expert leading the way.
"Gentlemen, what brings you to my Heavenly Serpent Empire?"
Just as Lin Feng and his companions were about to arrive at the capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, their undisguised aura was naturally detected by the Dou Zong level experts of the Heavenly Serpent Empire. An old voice slowly rang out, followed by two old figures, one exuding the aura of a four-star Dou Zong and the other a two-star Dou Zong, slowly appearing in the sky outside the capital, blocking Lin Feng and his group.
"Hahaha, we have come here to find the location of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. We wonder if the two elders could show us the way?"
Hearing that Lin Feng and his companions were so openly releasing their powerful Dou Zong auras for such a simple reason, disrupting the empire's order, the two Dou Zong elders cursed inwardly, but smiled slightly, showing no sign of anger.
This was because the three in the group were not only very young, but their auras were also extremely powerful. "Five-star Dou Zong, six-star Dou Zong, two-star Dou Zong... Where did these people come from? Very well, I will lead the way for them. The Mansion Master will handle the rest."
"Everyone, I will lead the way!"
"In that case, thank you very much, elders!"
Without further delay, the four-star Dou Zong elder gave a wink to the one-star Dou Zong elder behind him, then gestured to Lin Feng and his companions before taking to the air. Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others quickly followed.
After the group flew far away, the old man from the One Star Dou Sect stood behind them, completely bewildered.
"Why are you giving me that look? How am I supposed to understand?"
The Heavenly Serpent Palace and the Heavenly Serpent Empire both reside in the Heavenly Serpent Mountain Range, naturally sharing an inseparable connection. Therefore, the Heavenly Serpent Palace's location wasn't far from the Heavenly Serpent Empire. At their speed, the four of them stopped in front of a massive complex of buildings after about a quarter of an hour.
"Gentlemen, this is the headquarters of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. If you have any important matters, please speak directly with the Palace Master."
Just as the old man was speaking, a richly dressed elder appeared before them. Upon seeing the elder, the one who had led the way bowed slowly.
"Greetings, Palace Master!"
"Hahaha, Elder Liu, you're too kind. Please rise!"
The richly dressed elder was the current Palace Master of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. After helping Elder Liu up, he smiled and addressed Lin Feng and the others.
"Distinguished guests have come from afar. Why don't you rest down below for a while before discussing important matters?"
"This…" Lin Feng and the others exchanged glances, all understanding his intentions. Finally, Lin Feng slightly cupped his hands, "In that case, we'll trouble the Palace Master!"
Lin Feng and the others descended slowly with the elder, while the four-star Dou Zong elder, after saying goodbye, returned to the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Capital.
"Husband, what do you think the Heavenly Serpent Manor's intentions are? After arranging us in this reception hall, they only sent a few maids."
Inside the reception hall, Cai Lin quietly transmitted her voice to Lin Feng. After the current manor lord brought Lin Feng and the others to this reception hall and called a few maids to serve them, it seemed as if Lin Feng had never existed, and no one else at the Dou Zong level appeared.
"Just wait. The three of us are all at the Dou Zong level; the Heavenly Serpent Manor won't take us lightly."
On the other side, after arranging for maids to serve Lin Feng and the others, the current manor lord of the Heavenly Serpent Manor immediately convened a sect meeting. Except for the elders who were in seclusion, everyone came to the meeting room.
After everyone had arrived, the old manor lord looked around and slowly spoke.
"Everyone, do you still remember the Holy Maiden's origins?"
"What do you mean by that, Lord? The Holy Maiden comes from the small country of Jia Ma, which we naturally remember. However, given her background, she shouldn't have any further connection with that small country, right?"
As soon as the Lord finished speaking, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Palace spoke up, his tone full of doubt, seemingly wondering if the Lord was calling a sect meeting just because of this.
The other Dou Zong and Dou Huang elders also spoke with doubt. As for Dou Wang? They weren't qualified to appear in the Heavenly Serpent Palace's meeting room.
The current Lord was a mild-mannered man. After everyone fell silent, he slowly spoke, but his answer was irrelevant.
"I think Elder Green Barbarian should answer this question!"
"Elder Green Barbarian?"
