Chapter 171 Black Serpent Sect
Not long after, another serpentine flying artifact flew in from the sky, and it even had a pair of huge white wings on both sides.
With the arrival of the flying magical artifact, gusts of wind rose up around them, overturning many cultivators who were queuing up when they landed.
Those people lay on the ground, their faces full of resentment.
No one would be happy if someone was queuing up properly and suddenly had themselves thrown over in public.
However, when they looked up and saw the huge, snake-shaped flying artifact staring at them expressionlessly, they subconsciously swallowed hard and silently got up.
It's not that they're cowardly, but that the sect with the serpentine flying artifact is not to be trifled with.
The Black Serpent Sect of the Northern Region is known for its extreme cruelty. Anyone who provokes them is guaranteed to have their entire family wiped out. They have a worse reputation than the Joyful Union Sect.
Although this sect is infamous, its sect leader and elders are extremely powerful, and it is said that they have intricate connections with the demon lord of the Eastern Region.
Although the Eastern Region is one of the four major regions, everyone in the cultivation world knows that this region is very special, as it is inhabited by the demon race.
The relationship between the demon race and the human race is lukewarm, unlike the irreconcilable conflict between the human race and the demon race. Moreover, the two demon lords of the Eastern Region are unfathomably powerful.
Most importantly, the Northern Region is not far from the Eastern Region. In case of any trouble, the Black Serpent Sect can directly summon demons from the Eastern Region to help them...
Therefore, some minor sects in the Northern Region could only grit their teeth and accept it, and would not easily offend the Black Serpent Sect.
The group of people who were cursing in their hearts had no idea that the legendary backer of the Black Serpent Sect, the Teng Serpent Demon Lord who controlled half of the Eastern Region, was not far from them, and was also furious.
"Why does their flying artifact look so much like mine?"
After Gu Zhuo finished cursing, it was Teng She's turn to angrily flick its tail.
Lan Yue and her friends all shook their heads at this, they didn't know either!
Who knew that the sects in the Northern Region would be so powerful? One used a phantom bird to disguise itself as a phoenix, and another even created a flying machine in the shape of a serpent, with wings that were incredibly lifelike.
Listening to the people around them discussing the Black Serpent Sect's backers, the little guys looked at each other in bewilderment.
Making the sect's flying artifact into the shape of a Teng Snake—isn't that a sign of grudge against the Eastern Region?
Which sect tramples its backer underfoot?
If they hadn't known that the Vine Serpent Demon Lord was right next to them, angrily whipping his tail, they probably would have believed it too.
Seeing that the Tengshe was full of murderous intent and its wings were about to sprout, Lanyue quickly covered the little black snake with a cloth.
"God of Wealth, let's be careful and not expose ourselves, otherwise the Northern Ridge Holy Land might not even dare to let us in."
Lan Yue was right. If those inspectors found out the little black snake's identity, they would be terrified. There might be a series of conspiracy theories that the demon race was going to come and occupy the Northern Region.
In addition, the Black Serpent Sect is so arrogant, a fight might break out.
Who could believe that the Demon Lord Tengshe actually came here hoping to reunite with his wife and daughter?
However, Lan Yue managed to cover Teng She up, preventing her from suddenly changing her form.
However, several members of the Black Serpent Sect walked towards them, their eyes filled with intense malice.
"Hey, you guys, give up your seats and let our senior brothers and sisters from our sect line up."
She had long, dark green hair and narrow, elongated eyes, resembling a cold snake, and exuded a chilling aura.
For a long while, no one answered them, and the air became quiet for a moment.
The faces of the men dressed in black grew even uglier. Black Fang, who was at the front, took a few steps forward and stood in front of Lan Yue.
"I told you to move aside, so get out of the way right now. What, didn't you hear me? Are you deaf?"
"Since the ears are useless, let's cut them off!"
The sharp longsword revealed silver patterns, and everyone in the queue around it changed their expressions drastically, involuntarily taking a step back to the side.
Of this group, only the group from the Southern Spirit Sect remained silent.
Facing these people directly, Lan Yue looked up blankly, her face full of confusion.
"What did you just say? Sorry, I was talking to my spirit pet and didn't hear you."
Lan Yue didn't hear what those people were saying, because she had already opened the Three Realms Gossip System and was looking for fresh gossip inside.
It has to be said that there are a lot of gossips in the Northern Region. Looking around, most people seem to have a fresh piece of gossip next to their heads.
Some people had a long string of green hats on their heads, and no one knew what kind of tragic experience they had.
Lan Yue was overwhelmed by the sights and didn't know which piece to choose to try. Suddenly, the scenery in front of her changed, and several people with large melons on their heads walked over.
The person on the other side who asked to move had turned green with rage, and with that bright green melon on his head, they were quite a perfect match.
At least Lan Yue on the other side looked very harmonious, and I even secretly glanced at her several times, feeling deeply moved.
"It really suits you perfectly!"
"What would be most suitable?"
"Green is just right."
Black Tooth across from him was so angry his face almost twisted, but in the end, he actually started laughing out of anger.
"Very well, very well. Where did you come from, some insignificant sect, that you dare to provoke the Black Serpent Sect?"
"Since you don't know what's good for you, then be careful in the upcoming fights, lest you end up dead and no one can claim your body!"
"No, it won't happen." Lan Yue shook her head.
"You should be more careful, young man. I see your face is dark; you're likely to suffer a bloody disaster soon!"
Lan Yue's tone was exceptionally sincere because it was true.
She did see that the green melon rind on the person's head was turning red, almost dripping blood.
According to the system's explanation, this person will probably die soon.
A red light flashed in the eyes of the man opposite him, and his right sleeve swayed slightly. Soon, a blackish-green poisonous insect fell down.
The poisonous insects were very small and had no spiritual energy fluctuations, so they were not noticeable unless you looked closely.
Just as the poisonous insects quietly crawled over, trying to climb onto Lan Yue's clothes, they suddenly trembled, as if summoned by something, and abruptly changed direction, ending up next to Wu Tianyu.
"Playing with insects in front of me is like showing off your limited skills before an expert," Wu Tianyu sneered.
He believed that no one could compare to him in cultivating and controlling Gu worms, not even his elder sister.
Although that woman never cared about her siblings, and even beat and scolded them.
However, this person gave them very useful bloodlines. As descendants of insect shamans, they controlled all the insects within a certain range.
So Wu Tianyu and her sister exchanged a glance. Instead of crushing the worm, they added some ingredients to it and made it return the way it came.
Black Fang was still a little confused when he saw the unharmed bug crawling back on its own.
However, the Holy City team that came to inspect had already arrived, so he had no choice but to regretfully put the insect back into his sleeve.
For some reason, he felt a slight itch in his sleeve, as if he had been bitten by an insect.
How could that be? This poisonous insect is Master's prized creation. He must be overthinking it!
After those people left, everyone else present breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys are really amazing, you're not afraid of the Black Serpent Sect at all!" The others started discussing among themselves.
"But you must be careful. The Black Serpent Sect is notorious for being vengeful. Even if they don't succeed this time, they will definitely be watching you in the dark, waiting for the right moment to launch a fatal attack. Be very careful."
A girl the same age as Lan Yue quietly gave her some instructions.
"Don't worry, our sect is also very powerful!" Lan Yue smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Actually, if those people had wanted to make a move, they definitely wouldn't have been able to get back.
Maybe everyone will die.
Because the elders behind them had already locked onto those few, and were just waiting for them to make a move so they could quickly take them down.
Lan Yue herself was not someone to be trifled with, and Yin Xue was already biting her tail in anger in her arms.
"Just keep it in your heart," the girl murmured.
"If all else fails, I'll make him die in public!" Lan Yue sneered.
Anyway, she still has the large tortoise shell given to her by her master, so she can openly expose the dark history of the East.
We'll see who holds out the longest then! Want to cut in line? No way!
When the Southern Spirit Sect arrived here, did they also line up from the back of the queue?
Who are you trying to bully? Just because you think she's a tiger doesn't roar doesn't mean you can take her for a fool!
"Lan Yue!"
Just as Lan Yue was feeling indignant, a familiar person arrived.
The man was dressed in a white robe with gold thread embroidered on the hem, and he led a group of white-robed youths.
Baili Xingzhou smiled slightly at the people from the Nanling Sect.
"I apologize, it was our oversight. I told them to quickly invite the distinguished guests from the Southern Spirit Sect inside, but they overlooked it."
Baili Xingzhou glanced indifferently at the group of soldiers conducting the inspection, then looked at the Nanling Sect members and smiled.
"Sect Master Yun, our Holy Lord has been waiting for you. He sent me to invite you over."
The Holy Lord was not just waiting, he was almost frantic with worry. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to show his face, he would have been the first to come and ask for help.
I waited and waited, but no one ever showed up.
It was only when Baili Xingzhou arrived here that he discovered the trick.
