Seeing a black orb emerge from the water, it shot towards Xiao Yan with lightning speed.
Xiao Yan smirked, and quickly retreated a few steps.
As if sensing his retreat, the black orb emitted a mocking wave of emotion.
Then, with a "clack," an old hand reached out and grabbed it.
"Buzz!" The black orb spun rapidly, but couldn't escape the old hand. It trembled uneasily, finally emitting a wave of terror.
"So, I was wondering where the magic core of this magical beast had gone, it was hiding in the blood pool." Watching the black orb struggling in Xiao Wu's hand, unable to resist, Xiao Yan smiled playfully.
After struggling for a moment, a soul of a middle-aged man in black clothing flew out of the black orb.
"Just who are you people! How could a Half-Saint possibly appear in a place like this!" He stared at the three figures before him, his expression filled with terror.
He'd initially thought the young man was at most a Dou Emperor, but he never expected the two old men behind him to possess such terrifying strength.
"Are you even worthy of knowing who we are?" Xiao Wu snorted coldly, intent on extinguishing the creature's soul.
The soul of a mere Rank 8 Monster Beast held no value.
"Wait a moment, Wu Lao." Xiao Yan suddenly waved his hand, then walked over to the middle-aged man.
"Tell me, where did you obtain those two Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python scales?"
"You? You want to know about the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python… ah!" A sneer had barely touched the Netherworld Demonic Serpent's face when a jet-black Soul Striking Whip lashed out, striking him.
He turned his head, and was horrified to find the stern-faced old man glaring at him.
"A mere Rank 8 Monster Beast dares to speak to our young master like that? You're courting death."
"Young master?" The Netherworld Demonic Serpent felt a bit bewildered. Just what was this young man's background that he was being addressed as young master by a Half-Saint?
"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me where you got the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's scales, and I might spare your life.
Otherwise, you'll be annihilated."
Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man. If he wasn't concerned about news of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, he wouldn't have bothered with the remnant soul of a Rank 8 Monster Beast.
"If I tell you, will you really let me go?" A hint of hesitation appeared on the black-robed man's face.
The two old fellows in front of him were simply too powerful. Even in his prime, he wouldn't have been a match for them. Moreover, he was now just a tiny remnant soul, and even the young man in front of him made him feel threatened.
"You don't have a choice. My young master's patience is limited. You have three breaths. Speak, or die." Xiao Yan didn't bother humoring this loser.
"You!" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with anger at the youth's disdain, but he quickly relaxed upon seeing the two elders.
This youth's background was likely on par with, or even superior to, the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan. He just didn't understand why such a powerful faction would suddenly appear in the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
"Forget it, I'll tell you," the middle-aged man said with a helpless shake of his head.
"These two scales are indeed from the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, and they belonged to the last Ninth Rank Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python on the continent, the Seven-Colored Demonic Saint's Lifebound Reverse Scales."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face showed surprise, and even the two elders, Wen and Wu, looked grave.
The Seven-Colored Demonic Saint was a powerhouse from several thousand years ago. Perhaps even older than Xiao Xuan. The Demonic Saint's strength was also extremely terrifying. According to the Xiao Clan's records, the Seven-Colored Demonic Saint had reached the level of a Five-Star Dou Saint the last time he made a move.
Such a level was considered a top-tier expert even within the Xiao Clan back then.
The most crucial point was that he was the last Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python on the Dou Qi Continent to reach the Saint rank. It was rumored that he possessed the secret of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan's decline.
This piqued Xiao Yan's interest, as he had intentions regarding the Serpent-People Queen.
"Where did you get these two scales?" Xiao Yan stared at the middle-aged man and asked calmly.
"It's... it's from my grandfather. My grandfather was once a follower of the Seven-Colored Demonic Saint. Later, after the Seven-Colored Demonic Saint fell, he led our Netherworld Demonic Serpent clan to pledge allegiance to the current Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan."
The middle-aged man obediently revealed all his secrets.
So this kid is also a second-generation scion. Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully. "What's the purpose of you collecting these scales?"
"The Seven-Colored Demonic Saint has been dead for many years. Even the Lifebound Reverse Scales don't seem to have much value to you, right?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but speak. "If I tell you this secret, can you send me back to the Netherworld Demonic Serpent clan?"
"How dare you! What standing do you have to bargain with our clan's young master?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face darkened. He raised the Soul Striking Whip high, ready to strike.
"Elder Wu." Xiao Yan stopped Xiao Wu's actions, looking coldly at the middle-aged man. "The decision is mine now. If you obediently tell me everything you know, I might consider it.
If you anger this young master, you should know the Soul Clan has a soul-searching technique!"
"You, you're from the Soul Clan!" Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the middle-aged man's expression instantly changed drastically.
The Soul Clan was one of the most powerful forces on the continent during his time, even the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan wasn't a match for the Soul Clan at its peak.
"Heh heh, we're not the Soul Clan, but the Xiao Clan. However, the Soul Clan has already been annihilated by us, so the Soul Clan's things naturally belong to our Xiao Clan."
Seeing his shocked expression, a mischievous smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face.
"Xiao Clan!" The middle-aged man was first shocked, but when he heard that the Soul Clan had been annihilated by the Xiao Clan, his face was filled with disbelief.
"How is that possible? How could the Soul Clan, so powerful, be annihilated?" He shook his head, unable to believe it.
"Nothing is impossible. If you upset our young master, the Netherworld Demonic Serpent clan will be the next to be annihilated.
When the experts of our clan move, let's see if the tiny Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan dares to protect you," Xiao Wu sneered.
"So, this young man is the young master of the Xiao Clan. No wonder he has two Half-Saints following him," the middle-aged man thought as he glanced at Xiao Yan.
The next moment, a humble and respectful smile appeared on his face.
"Young master, please rest assured, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
???
This complete turnaround in attitude caught Xiao Yan and the others off guard.
"Young master, please take a look." The middle-aged man slowly summoned two Seven-Colored scales in front of Xiao Yan.
"According to what my grandfather said, the Seven-Colored Demonic Saint back then had a total of seven Lifebound Reverse Scales. If all seven of these Lifebound Reverse Scales are gathered…"
"The Legacy of the Seven-Colored Demonic Saint can be opened!"
