Chapter 602: Medusa's Successful Evolution
Everything was settled as the enemy from the Tian Yao Phoenix clan was completely annihilated, marking the end of the conflict. With the dissipation of Phoenix Sky's soul, everyone below in the Dark Serpent Vein was jubilant. Some went as far as kneeling on one knee toward Xiao Ze's direction to show their respect.
However, most people were not yet familiar with Xiao Ze, and some had not even heard his name before. Thus, they could only kneel without any cheers. But the gratitude of the members of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan was extremely sincere. If it had not been for Xiao Ze's timely arrival, their clan might have faced total extinction today.
Led by the demon Yaoming, the strong members of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan approached Xiao Ze. Facing Xiao Ze's calm gaze, a chill ran through their hearts. They dared not show any disrespect and quickly greeted Xiao Ze reverently.
"Greetings, Lord Xiao Ze!" Xiao Ze nodded slightly and smiled at Yaoming, saying, "Thank you for guarding the Nine Nethers during this time."
"Lord Xiao Ze, it was my duty," Yaoming quickly responded. Xiao Ze shook his head and handed several bottles of high-level medicinal pills to Yaoming.
"With me, there is no such thing as duty. There are rewards for merits and punishments for faults. Your guardianship has indeed been helpful to me."
Yaoming, sensing the contents of the bottles, showed a delighted expression on his face.
"Thank you for your reward, Lord Xiao Ze." "It's not a reward. You're not my subordinate, and if you're interested, you could have the Nine Nether Dark Python clan join the Pill Alliance.
Then, we would truly be allies." Hearing Xiao Ze's words, the hearts of the other strong members of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan stirred. Given the current situation, they were no longer obstinate about their noble status among the three great beast clans.
Joining the Pill Alliance would indeed be excellent. The Pill Alliance was primarily supported by the Pill Tower, and its alchemists were among the most numerous and skilled on the Dou Qi continent. Joining the Pill Alliance could provide them access to more medicinal resources through its merit system.
Their own strength was negligible in front of Lord Xiao Ze, so they could hardly expect to receive personally crafted high-level medicinal pills like their clan leader. However, getting high-level pills from the Pill Alliance would still significantly improve their strength.
This near-extinction crisis had thoroughly awakened these stubborn elders. When Xiao Ze brought up the Pill Alliance, they were eager to agree on their clan leader's behalf and embrace the alliance. But reason quickly restrained their impulsiveness since they held no weight in front of Xiao Ze.
They were well aware that Xiao Ze had come to their rescue largely because of the person meditating beneath the Nine Nethers, and only partially because of their clan leader. As for them, they were hardly worth mentioning.
Yaoming, upon hearing Xiao Ze's words, hurriedly nodded in agreement. "Thank you for accepting us, Lord Xiao Ze. I am willing to lead the Nine Nether Dark Python clan to join the Pill Alliance and fight valiantly for it!" Xiao Ze smiled and nodded. Recruiting more powerful allies for the Pill Alliance would better prepare them to face the Soul Hall and even the Soul Clan in the future.
"That's good, the Pill Alliance will not let down anyone who fights valiantly for it!" Hearing Xiao Ze's agreement, the elders of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan were extremely excited and showed their goodwill towards him.
Xiao Ze also smiled and exchanged pleasantries, as they were now allies. Later, Yaoming brought Xiao Ze to the Dark Serpent Vein, introducing him to many members of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan.
"This is Lord Xiao Ze. He also helped me escape from the clutches of the demon Xaotian and regain control as clan leader." "Today, he has once again saved our clan from destruction. Come and pay your respects to Lord Xiao Ze!" Upon hearing this, the members of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan showed looks of surprise and admiration, kneeling down and bowing respectfully to Xiao Ze. "We thank Lord Xiao Ze for his rescue!" Xiao Ze smiled and nodded.
"Please rise. I have a good relationship with Chief Yaoming, and it was only right for me to help today." Xiao Ze did not regard Yaoming as lightly as the other clan elders might have thought.
If Medusa were to leave this place, and the Nine Nether Dark Python clan faced another crisis in the future, Xiao Ze would remember this favor and come to their aid. At the invitation of Chief Yaoming and the many elders, Xiao Ze joined them in the main hall of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan's sacred land.
After a round of greetings, a celebration banquet was held, and various specialties and exotic fruits from the beast domains were placed before Xiao Ze. While dealing with the many elders' flattery, Xiao Ze was curious about how much longer Medusa would be in seclusion.
As the banquet neared its end, Yaoming warmly invited, "Lord Xiao Ze, you have shown great kindness to the Nine Nether Dark Python clan. Please, stay here for a while." "Allow me to gather the medicinal ingredients and various treasures of the Nine Nether Dark Python clan. Whatever catches your eye, feel free to take."
After Yaoming spoke, he looked eagerly at Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze tapped his fingers on the table, pondering for a moment, then looked in the direction of the Nine Nethers.
"Alright, I will stay with the Nine Nether Dark Python clan for a few days." Hearing Xiao Ze agree, Yaoming also smiled and called over a specially prepared maid. "You will take Lord Xiao Ze to the temporary palace."
After speaking to the maid, Yaoming turned to Xiao Ze and said, "Lord Xiao Ze, please." Xiao Ze casually nodded, stood up, and followed the maid to the temporary palace. The maid was very attractive, with a proud figure and a walk that reminded one of a sinuous water snake, her natural charm emanating strongly.
Xiao Ze watched the maid's figure, blinking as he thought of Xun'er, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Just as Xiao Ze's thoughts drifted, his Origin Tree suddenly responded. At the same time, information appeared on the panel.
"Medusa's bloodline has successfully evolved into the Nine-Colored Devouring Python, triggering a multiple feedback, congratulations to the host for receiving a tenfold feedback reward."
