However…
Gu Chaoyan skillfully evaded the serpent’s tail attack.
Adams’ initial concerns were proven unnecessary.
“Don’t worry, she’s more than capable.” The sorcerer sensed his own excessive anxiety and felt the need to rea.s.sure him.
Adams shot him a dissatisfied glare.
In this predicament, they had no choice but to rely on Xuelai to confront the ferocious snake. Despite the gravity of the situation, he remained nonchalant. In this moment, Adams seemed to forget his ident.i.ty as a sorcerer, displaying a subtle discontent with his own actions.
The sorcerer acknowledged that there had been a misunderstanding.
His vast experience and rational nature had occasionally led him astray. Observing her strength when she moved that small mountain, he had a reasonable grasp of her capabilities. Watching the ongoing battle affirmed his belief that she would emerge unscathed, prompting his earlier rea.s.surance.
He had misjudged the situation.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the air.
Instinctively, they looked up to discover a ma.s.sive black serpent sprawled on the ground.
Gu Chaoyan, however, bore the aftermath, her arm sporting injuries from the serpent’s tail, stained with blood.
In a location with ample spiritual energy, her cultivation would facilitate swift self-healing. Unfortunately, in this barren environment devoid of spiritual qi, recovery seemed slower. Fortunately, the wound was minor and not critical.
“Are you alright?” Adams inquired, concern etched on his face as he observed her injured arm.
“I’ll be fine,” Gu Chaoyan replied with a slight shake of her head, downplaying the impact of the injury.
Instead, she turned her gaze to identify the specific black snake responsible.
The black serpent’s ma.s.sive form raised a perplexing question—how did it attain such cultivation without the presence of spiritual qi? Perhaps it relied on consuming human bones and flesh.
The Huang Clan Patriarch, rea.s.sured by the absence of immediate danger, bellowed, “Who are you? How dare you intrude upon our Huang Clan’s sacred grounds and desecrate the site of our wors.h.i.+p!”
The Clan Leader of the Huang Clan seethed with anger.
Just as success seemed within reach, a colossal accident disrupted their plans. Naturally, he s.h.i.+fted blame onto the unexpected intruders.
Gu Chaoyan’s expression soured.
“Desecrate the site of your Huang Clan’s sacrifices?”
“Do you even know what your Huang Clan is offering?”
“Which black snake are you sacrificing?”
“And those innocent lives consumed by it, leading to its monstrous size. Without my intervention, this black snake could have devoured every member of the Huang Clan, yourself included, within a few days. Yet here you stand, proud and oblivious, thinking you can gain something from it?” Gu Chaoyan glared at the Huang Clan’s leader with evident disgust.
Had she not stumbled upon this situation, the people of these various clans would have needlessly perished. Even the unwitting members of the Huang Clan would have been sacrificed to wors.h.i.+p this black serpent.
“Clan Leader of the Huang Clan, you are no longer fit to be the patriarch. As a sorcerer, I must mete out punishment.” The sorcerer approached him, simultaneously producing the sorcerer’s token.
“Sorcerer…”
Sorcerer…
The Clan Leader of the Huang Clan was utterly shocked.
This clandestine operation had been executed with utmost secrecy. The unexpected appearance of a sorcerer caught him off guard.
And now…
Numerous members of the Huang Clan had returned and gathered at the scene.
The sorcerer commenced his duties.
“Your mission is accomplished,” the disordered s.p.a.ce unexpectedly declared.
