Chapter 63: Serpent Grandmother
🕑 Added 2025-03-09 10:11:49 +0000 UTC“My friend, you mean to use the rules of the soul master world to decide the ownership of this snake with me?” Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes and his tone turned completely cold.
What are the rules of the soul master world?
It’s very simple, just have a fight. Whoever wins gets the stuff. It’s as simple as that.
Just as the two parties were facing each other and the atmosphere was tense, another uninvited guest broke in!
A hoarse and sharp voice suddenly rang out, “Stop.”
Immediately afterwards, two figures quickly jumped out from the bushes and appeared in front of everyone.
The two people, one old and one young, were both women. The old one looked to be in her sixties or seventies, holding a three-meter-long snake-head cane in her right hand, with six spirit rings moving up and down. Her body had not changed, but the spirit rings showed that she had used her martial spirit. Needless to say, the cane in her hand should be her martial spirit.
Next to the old woman was a beautiful girl with short hair, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a neat outfit that tightly covered her well-developed body. Her big dark brown eyes were fixed on the Phoenix-tailed Crest Serpent lying on the ground. She also held a snake-head cane in her hand, but it was shorter than the old woman’s, only two meters long, and the spirit rings on her body were only two hundred years old.
The appearance of the old woman and the little girl startled everyone except Ye Cheng, but when they saw that the old woman had six spirit rings, they breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was just a spirit emperor and should not be able to compete for the spirit ring of this snake.
After rushing out, the old woman’s face changed a little after seeing the situation clearly. She stared at the seven soul rings on Zhao Wuji’s body and felt it was very difficult. Before, the two of them were tracking this Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, but they lost it halfway.
After following the traces for a long time, I finally found this place. As a result, I sensed the fluctuation of soul power and instantly realized that the Phoenix-tailed Crest Serpent might have been subdued by other soul masters.
How could this be possible? After chasing the prey for several days, someone got there first.
The old woman was naturally unwilling to accept this, so she could not wait to rush out with her granddaughter. However, after seeing the seven spirit rings on Zhao Wuji’s body, she instantly felt that the situation was beyond her expectations.
She originally thought that even if there were soul masters hunting soul beasts in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, their levels would not be too high. After all, high-level soul masters would go deep into the inner area to hunt soul beasts of higher age. Soul masters in the outer area were generally low-level soul masters. With her Soul Emperor cultivation, it would be easy for her to catch them.
But they didn’t expect that their luck would be so bad that they encountered a Soul Saint in the outer area. Especially since this Soul Saint was trying to snatch prey from them. The old woman’s heart sank immediately, knowing that she was afraid that she would not be able to get away with it today.
“What’s the matter?”
Zhao Wuji glanced at the old woman, his eyes fell on the snake-head cane in her hand, and he couldn’t help but think of a couple in his heart, but now he needed to focus on the guy opposite, so after just a glance, he shifted his attention to Ye Cheng opposite.
The old woman noticed Zhao Wuji’s cautious look and quickly took a look at the scene. She immediately realized that the situation was not what she had imagined. The people in front of her were not from the same group, but were divided into two groups.
One was Zhao Wuji, who led a few young people. The other was a very young man, who led two girls. The two sides were confronting each other, and my sudden intrusion obviously disturbed both parties.
There is no doubt that the other young man who could make a Soul Sage behave so cautiously must also be a Soul Sage.
This is a difficult situation.
The old woman suddenly felt very troubled.
It would be difficult to deal with just one Soul Saint, not to mention the other one. It would be extremely difficult to snatch this soul beast from the hands of two Soul Saints.
But no matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try.
So the old woman coughed to make her facial expression look softer, then greeted Ye Cheng and Zhao Wuji, “Hello, two respected soul saints, can you please give this Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent to this child?”
“…” Ye Cheng didn’t say anything, but just looked at her calmly.
Zhao Wuji saw that the old woman was still unwilling to give up under such circumstances, and his guess became more certain. So he asked the old woman, “Why?”
Seeing that the two men were quite friendly, the old woman felt more confident and said with a smile, “Because we were the first to discover this snake and kill it. Otherwise, how could we have tracked it all the way here?”
Zhao Wuji did not comment when he heard her words, but suddenly asked: “Senior, may I ask your name?”
The old woman said, “I dare not. My name is Chao Tianxiang. Friends in the spirit master world respect me and give me the title of Serpent Grandmother. My husband’s name is Meng Shu, also known as Dragon Duke. We came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to find a suitable third spirit ring for our granddaughter. I see that the children around you are not old enough to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring. Even though the spirit ring of the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent is milder, it is not something they can absorb.”
In Chao Tianxiang’s opinion, among these children, the oldest one, Dai Mubai, is younger than her granddaughter. However, she is very confident in her granddaughter’s ability and does not think that these children can reach level 30 earlier than her granddaughter.
After listening to the old woman’s self-introduction, Zhao Wuji thought to himself that it was indeed true, and confirmed in a deep voice: “Are you the Serpent Grandmother, one of the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent?”
Chao Tianxiang smiled calmly, “I dare not, that’s right. I haven’t asked the Soul Saint for your name yet?”
The expression on Zhao Wuji’s face changed slightly. He had heard of the name of the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent a long time ago. The couple debuted very early and had extraordinary strength, especially Dragon Duke Meng Shu. When he heard of him, the Dragon Duke was already at the level of Soul Saint. He would not be surprised even if he had reached the Soul Douluo level now.
Meng Shu’s martial spirit is a dragon-headed cane, which complements Chao Tianxiang snake-headed cane. The couple has an extremely domineering martial spirit fusion skill that is difficult to resist unless one possesses the strength of a Titled Douluo.
Zhao Wuji was only a Soul Saint. Although the Serpent Grandmother in front of him looked weaker than him, as long as the dragon man appeared, he would not be able to deal with him. The relationship between the dragon and the snake was very good, and the couple never separated. If the Serpent Grandmother was here, the dragon duke must not be far away.
Zhao Wuji had thought about killing the grandparents and grandchildren to silence them. But killing the kid was easy, but killing the Serpent Grandmother Chao Tianxiang was not easy. Although he was one ring stronger than her, if Chao Tianxiang insisted on escaping, he would have no chance to stop her. After all, Zhao Wuji was a power-type soul master and was not good at speed.
What’s more… Zhao Wuji glanced at Ye Cheng who was silent on the opposite side, thinking that there was still this Soul Saint who was eyeing him covetously. Who knew if he would let it go or help him?
And if the sneak attack failed and the Serpent Grandmother escaped, then what awaited him would be the endless pursuit of the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent.
