Chapter 1729: Snake Clan Inheritance Land

"Master, I know a place that might be the relic of our Snake Clan’s bloodline," Huo Baiyu said to Xu Nian.

"Oh? Where is it?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"Just in the direction we are heading now, a hundred miles ahead," Huo Baiyu said as she flew.

A hundred miles ahead?

Xu Nian showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He immediately released his Demon Consciousness and spread it forward.

Soon, he found the valley Huo Baiyu was talking about.

It was a very steep valley, flanked by high mountains, with a river snaking through the middle like a giant serpent.

The place Huo Baiyu referred to was at the snake’s head.

And at the snake’s head, Xu Nian instinctively felt a strong sense of danger.

As Xu Nian went deeper, his Soul Power seemed to be devoured by a peculiar force.

Moreover, this devouring seemed to have a strong attraction, and Xu Nian wanted to retract his Soul Power but was stuck by that force.

In the end, Xu Nian had to cut off his Demon Consciousness to free himself from it.

"Such a strange place," Xu Nian said, retracting his Demon Consciousness, and exclaimed.

"It is indeed bizarre. I felt the eeriness there when I visited previously, it was very dangerous. Master, should we go?" Huo Baiyu asked.

At this moment, she was completely following Xu Nian’s lead.

"Yes, since we have entered the Ancient Divine Forbidden Land, it is to search for the Ancient Bloodline, why not go? But be mentally prepared; we might encounter someone you don’t want to see," Xu Nian said, looking at Huo Baiyu.

When he sensed earlier, in addition to sensing the strangeness of the place,

he also detected a group of people heading swiftly towards the snake’s head.

Most of them were from the Xuanwu Clan, and there was also one from the Snake Clan.

This Snake Clan youth was flying side by side with a Xuanwu Clan woman at the moment.

It was obvious that the youth was none other than Huo Baiyu’s fiancé, Huo Qing.

Huo Baiyu understood Xu Nian’s meaning immediately and showed a cold expression in her eyes.

"Master, rest assured, I have thought it through. I only hold hatred for him in my heart and not a shred of love. All I want now is to kill him with my sword," Huo Baiyu said coldly.

Xu Nian shook his head.

Having hatred in your heart means you have not truly let go.

"Besides him, there is also the Xuanwu Clan woman, Sun Mei’er," Xu Nian said.

Hearing this, Huo Baiyu’s eyes trembled slightly.

But soon, they turned into a fierce gleam.

"Master, take me there, I want to resolve this grievance personally," Huo Baiyu said.

"Alright!" Xu Nian nodded.

Then he took Huo Baiyu and headed towards the valley.

Meanwhile, as Xu Nian and Huo Baiyu headed for the valley,

at this moment, a group of seven people were progressing along the valley towards the snakehead.

Leading them was a young and beautiful woman.

This woman had a bewitching appearance, rivaling even that of the nine-tailed fox.

In terms of looks, she was slightly inferior to Huo Baiyu, but her innate charisma was much stronger.

No wonder Huo Baiyu lost to her.

Beside this woman was a handsome young man.

This young man was dressed in dark green robes, with long, jet-black hair.

A gentle smile was always on his face, giving off a refined aura.

However, the surrounding Xuanwu Clan youths and elders looked at this Snake Clan youth with a hint of disdain.

Even the leading woman had an air of superiority.

Yet, the Snake Clan youth didn’t seem to care, continuing to flatter the leading woman.

"Huo Qing, is this the Snake Clan’s relic land?" the leading woman asked indifferently.

Hovering in the air, looking at the giant mountain like a snake’s head ahead.

The snakehead lay wide open, seemingly leading to the mountain’s depths.

"Yes, this is it. Most of our Snake Clan’s bloodline is stored here. This place is called Snake Head Mountain, and the Snake Clan Inheritance is in the depths of this mountain," the youth named Huo Qing said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Go in directly and bring out the Snake Clan’s bloodline. If you do not acquire the bloodline, do you think you deserve our young lady?" a Xuanwu Clan youth sneered disdainfully.

Eyes filled with open contempt.

"Yes, yes, I indeed don’t deserve Mei’er, but I will definitely obtain the bloodline and then lead the entire Snake Clan," Huo Qing quickly replied.

"Huo Qing, you don’t need to belittle yourself. Since I have chosen you, even if you don’t get this bloodline, you will surely become the Snake Clan Leader in the future. But what I want from you is absolute loyalty. When I say one, you are not allowed to say two. Whatever I ask you to do, you must do it. Do you understand?" Sun Mei’er said arrogantly.

"I absolutely listen to you, Mei’er. You are my true love, and I’m willing to do anything for you," Huo Qing said sincerely.

"Then what about your previous fiancée?" Sun Mei’er asked with a smile.

"How can she compare to you, Mei’er? I have never liked her from the start. In my eyes, she is nothing but a piece of trash, nowhere near as noble as you, Mei’er. I have already sent Sun Tianlei to kill her, and she is probably already dead by now," Huo Qing said.

Sun Mei’er’s mouth instantly curled into a smug smile.

Obviously, Huo Qing’s words made her very satisfied.

"Huo Qing, I didn’t expect that in your eyes, I am just trash."

Just then, Huo Baiyu and Xu Nian appeared.

Huo Baiyu happened to hear Huo Qing’s words.

She could not believe that Huo Qing would evaluate her like this.

Despite her deep love for him.

Now she felt her true feelings were fed to the dogs.

"Huo Baiyu?" Huo Qing was stunned to see Huo Baiyu.

"Didn’t you say she was already dead?" Sun Mei’er scowled at Huo Baiyu and then looked at Huo Qing to ask.

"I did send Sun Tianlei to kill her, and I even gave Sun Tianlei a Jade Pendant that can detect her location," Huo Qing said.

"Oh? So Sun Tianlei failed?" Sun Mei’er raised an eyebrow at Huo Baiyu.

Huo Qing also looked at Huo Baiyu, but soon he set his sights on Xu Nian.

In his view, it was impossible for Huo Baiyu to withstand Sun Tianlei’s group attack.

The only possibility was that someone helped her.

And that person was probably the man next to Huo Baiyu.

"Huo Baiyu, do you think I’m wrong? As my betrothed, you were flirting with another man. Am I wrong to call you trash?" Huo Qing immediately retorted coldly.

"Flirting with another man? When did I ever flirt with another man?" Huo Baiyu asked, shocked.

"You say you didn’t? Then who is the man beside you? Don’t think I don’t know, you and he have long been colluding," Huo Qing said indignantly.

At this moment, Huo Baiyu understood.

Huo Qing was spouting lies.

To insult her and her Master?

They had just met; how could they’ve been colluding as Huo Qing said?

Huo Qing was clearly lying through his teeth.

"So, a shameless little wench. Huo Qing, it seems leaving her was wise," Sun Mei’er chimed in.

"Flirting with men so early on, it seems she really isn’t anything good," the other Xuanwu Clan youths also mocked disdainfully.

Huo Baiyu’s fists instantly clenched, her eyes full of endless anger.

Xu Nian also smiled and shook his head.

Huo Qing was indeed shameless enough.

Turning the tables, he first poured dirty water over him and Huo Baiyu.
