"Splash!"
As water splashed, Medusa's figure disappeared into the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs.
But Xiao Li could clearly sense her presence; she was safe.
However, the people of the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan were quite surprised to see Medusa jump into the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs like that.
One must know that even among their own clan, very few could withstand the bone-chilling cold of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs.
Normally, only when they needed to break through would someone come here to use the cold energy of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs for their advancement.
Now, Medusa, someone not from their Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan, actually jumped directly into the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs.
How could they not be shocked?
Xiao Li, however, reacted calmly, turning to look at Demon Roar Sky and the others, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Clan Leader Yao, are you afraid we might do something, bringing so many people to watch us? Or are you worried we might steal your Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs?"
"If Clan Leader Yao didn't want us to enter, he could have just said so from the beginning."
Demon Roar Sky showed an awkward smile on his face.
"Understood. Then we won't disturb Young Master Xiao here."
Afterward, he waved his hand and led everyone beside him away.
After leaving the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, an elder finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice,
"Clan Leader, are we really going to let them do whatever they want in our sacred land? Won't this make us lose a lot of face?"
The others also chimed in, agreeing.
"Yes, this makes us lose too much face."
"And they are too arrogant, making us leave on our own territory."
Demon Roar Sky's attitude had already made them strongly object.
He did nothing and allowed two outsiders into their sacred land.
It would be too humiliating if word got out!
"Do you think I wanted to? If you have the ability, then go kill them!" Demon Roar Sky roared, filled with anger.
Did they really think he wanted Xiao Li and them to go in?
But the problem was, who could defeat Xiao Li?
Demon Roar Sky admitted that he was no match for Xiao Li.
Xiao Li also had Starfall Pavilion behind him, which had several Dou Saints, far more than their Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan.
If he could defeat Xiao Li, he wouldn't have to do such a humiliating thing.
But the problem was, he couldn't defeat him!
The elders looked at each other, speechless, upon hearing this.
None of them were a match for Xiao Li either.
"If it really came to a fight, we are no match for Starfall Pavilion, nor could we keep them, it would only cause us more losses."
"I am doing this only to preserve the strength of our clan. If the elders think my approach is wrong, you can also share your insights," Demon Roar Sky said.
Did they all think he wasn't feeling stifled?
The dignified Clan Leader of the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan couldn't even protect his own sacred land.
If word got out, who knows how many people would laugh to death.
But the current situation was like this: if they couldn't win, they could only endure.
Finally, everyone quietly fell silent, no longer speaking... Days passed one by one.
Seven days later.
A dazzling, brilliant nine-colored light suddenly burst forth from beneath the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, shooting straight into the sky.
An astonishing aura spread out.
"It seems it's going to succeed."
Xiao Li looked over.
Soon, an immensely massive nine-colored giant python rose from the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs.
The invisible aura spread, alarming Demon Roar Sky and the others outside, who rushed in.
When they saw the gigantic Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python in mid-air, everyone was stunned.
"This is... a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python?!"
They were all old-timers of the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan, well-experienced, and recognized the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python at a glance.
This was a serpent-type magical beast comparable to the Ancient Heavenly Serpent!
In terms of bloodline strength, it was even stronger than the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan!
"I didn't expect her to be a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. No wonder she needed to use our Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs to complete her evolution," Demon Roar Sky exclaimed, full of surprise.
At the same time, he was even more glad that he hadn't made a move.
Otherwise, with Xiao Li's strength, plus a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, they could crush them to death!
Finally, the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's body rapidly shrunk, transforming into an elegant and beautiful woman.
"It seems your evolution went very smoothly," Xiao Li said with a smile.
"Yes, even smoother than I imagined," Medusa could clearly feel the changes within her body.
She had become stronger!
The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, an ancient serpent bloodline, had a much higher potential than the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!
And after completing her breakthrough, Medusa's cultivation also directly broke through to a Four-Star Dou Saint.
"It turns out this lady possesses the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline. I was truly blind," Demon Roar Sky proactively stepped forward, cupping his hands and smiling.
Both Xiao Li and Medusa were very satisfied with his attitude.
It didn't matter whether the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan genuinely wanted to resolve the conflict or if they were being insincere.
Medusa had already completed her breakthrough, and the remaining matters had nothing to do with the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan.
"Clan Leader Yao, thank you for your generosity. We'll be leaving now; no need to see us off."
Leaving a simple sentence, Xiao Li and Medusa quickly flew away.
"Farewell, both of you."
Demon Roar Sky watched them leave, a huge sigh of relief escaping his heart, and then looked back at the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs below.
Actually, compared to Xiao Li and Medusa, he was more worried about the person hidden beneath the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs—the former Clan Leader of the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan, Yao Ming!
When Medusa was breaking through under the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, she must have discovered Yao Ming.
But in the end, they didn't mention it, allowing the huge stone hanging in Demon Roar Sky's heart to drop.
If others knew that Yao Ming was not dead, but was being held captive by him beneath the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, the consequences would be unimaginable... "By the way, when I was breaking through beneath the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, I discovered someone sealed down there."
"He called himself Yao Ming, the former Clan Leader of the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan, who was tricked and sealed by Demon Roar Sky. He hoped we could release him," Medusa said.
"Things that don't concern us, we don't need to meddle in. Anyway, it won't benefit us," Xiao Li said.
"I thought so too, so I didn't agree to him."
Medusa had actually seen many such internal clan disputes.
Moreover, she was not a soft-hearted person, so she naturally wouldn't be overcome with sympathy.
Let the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan handle their own affairs; this would also reduce some trouble.
This could also be considered Xiao Li giving Demon Roar Sky some face—after all, Demon Roar Sky was willing to allow Medusa to enter the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs without any obstruction.
So Xiao Li also had to give him some face.
After all, the pugilistic world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relations.
One less enemy is always better than one more.
Of course, if the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan took advantage of his kindness, Xiao Li wouldn't mind wasting some time to make them disappear completely...
