BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 527: Liu Ling: Yue Mei, Come with Me!

If the Serpent People were to relocate there, it would likely lead to conflicts with the mercenaries. Moreover, the Jia Ma Empire would constantly have to guard against the Serpent People extending their influence into the empire's territory.

Thus, it would be very difficult to get the Jia Ma Empire to agree to let the Serpent People pass through to migrate to the Demon Beast Mountains.

Another option would be to go around to the other end of the desert and compete with other small nations for territory. This might not seem too difficult.

However, the long journey and the unfamiliarity of the Serpent People with that desert region, coupled with the scarcity of survival resources along the way, would likely result in many casualties among the Serpent People. It would be a very perilous endeavor.

If the Jia Ma Empire does not agree, then they would have to try to implement the second plan as much as possible.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Not long after Queen Medusa finished speaking, the sounds of many strange birds were heard from outside.

Upon hearing these noises, the expressions of Queen Medusa and the other leaders in the hall changed.

"Could it be that humans have intruded?"

Queen Medusa muttered to herself, then quickly flashed out of the hall.

Soon, Queen Medusa and the eight Serpent People leaders arrived on the outer city wall.

At that moment, several hundred meters above the city wall, a tall young man stood in the void, exuding the aura of a Dou Ancestor.

Liu Ling lowered his altitude and arrived outside the temple. At first, his expression was quite relaxed, but when he sensed the powerful aura emanating from Queen Medusa as she emerged, he became a bit uneasy.

"Why does Queen Medusa seem so much stronger than before?" Liu Ling wondered to himself. However, when he saw Yue Mei also flash out of the hall, a wave of joy surged in his heart.

"It's him, the apprentice of that mysterious strong man?" Queen Medusa was the first to emerge, and she immediately recognized Liu Ling's identity when she saw him.

"Five-star Dou Ancestor!"

"How could he have advanced so quickly?"

At the same time, Queen Medusa also detected Liu Ling's cultivation level and was extremely shocked. Just two years ago, Liu Ling hadn't even reached the level of Dou King. In just two years, he had leaped over two major realms, Dou King and Dou Emperor, which was truly inconceivable to Queen Medusa.

At that moment, as Queen Medusa was about to question Liu Ling about his intrusion into the heartland of the Serpent People and his arrival at the temple, she was interrupted by Liu Ling's voice.

Just as Queen Medusa was about to question Liu Ling,

"Yue Mei!"

Liu Ling called out excitedly.

"It's Liu Ling!"

Yue Mei, who had emerged from the temple, immediately showed a look of surprise upon hearing the familiar call, but it quickly faded.

Because, the other leaders and Queen Medusa all turned their gazes onto Yue Mei due to Liu Ling's shout.

"Liu Ling, why did you come here? This is not a place for you!"

Yue Mei quickly said to Liu Ling, then turned to Queen Medusa and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this person came here by mistake. Please don't take it to heart!"

Yue Mei's behavior was clear to anyone with eyes; she had a special relationship with Liu Ling.

"Yue Mei, you don't need to speak just yet. Let him explain why he's come here," Queen Medusa said, her jade hand lifting gracefully as she issued a voice that was both cold and authoritative.

Liu Ling felt a bit nervous upon hearing Queen Medusa's words. He had chosen to reveal himself, thinking that even if he was discovered, the Serpent People wouldn't be able to do anything to him given his cultivation level.

But now, things seemed off. Queen Medusa's power had increased dramatically since their last encounter. If she decided to attack him, Liu Ling was likely no match for her. He might have to shatter the void jade talisman again and ask his master for help.

However, as far as Liu Ling knew, Gu He had already agreed with another strong being not to attack the Serpent People anymore.

They had a pact. Now, by entering the Serpent People's territory and coming directly to their temple, Liu Ling was essentially breaking that agreement.

"No matter what, Queen Medusa knows how formidable my master is. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she should consider her people. What would happen if she harmed me?" After some thought, Liu Ling felt less anxious and stated his purpose directly.

"Yue Mei, didn't I promise you before that I would bring you a transformation pill? Here it is!" Liu Ling smiled as he spoke, then took out the transformation pill from his storage ring.

"Transformation pill!"

"I knew he would bring me a transformation pill!"

Upon hearing Liu Ling's words, Yue Mei's eyes misted over with emotion. Not only was Yue Mei's reaction strong, but the other Serpent leaders and countless Serpent soldiers around them also reacted intensely to the sight of the transformation pill in Liu Ling's hand.

The value of a single transformation pill was immeasurable to the Serpent People. Swallowing it meant a chance to transform into a human form, shedding their serpent tails and gaining both the robust physique and long lifespan of Serpent People, as well as a cultivation talent comparable to humans.

Queen Medusa, who was only at the peak of Combat Emperor at the time, had ultimately chosen to borrow the Blue Lotus Core Fire from Gu He, enduring the trial by异火锻体, and barely survived to successfully transform and break through to the Combat Ancestor realm.

"Yue Mei, didn't you say that when you could transform into a human form, you would agree to go live in the human world with me?" Liu Ling spoke softly, taking steps closer to Yue Mei.

Queen Medusa remained silent on the side, so the other Serpent leaders didn't make any moves to attack as Liu Ling approached. Soon, Liu Ling reached the massive city wall and stood close to Yue Mei, offering her the transformation pill.

"Yue Mei, come with me!" Liu Ling said gently, his eyes bright with a warm smile.

Seeing this, Yue Mei felt very happy. She slowly raised her hand to take the transformation pill from Liu Ling. Just as she was about to reach for it, a Serpent leader named Mobas suddenly spoke up: "Yue Mei, do you really want to leave with this human?"

"Haven't you forgotten the plight of our Serpent People? As the leader of the Meisa Clan, shouldn't you stay and help at a time like this?"
