Chapter 677 - 627: The Young Masters of the Bai and Luo Families Back Down

Chapter 677: Chapter 627: The Young Masters of the Bai and Luo Families Back Down

Strictly speaking, Tu Xiao’an had only subjugated two humans. The first was Luo Zijie, the revered senior from the Ancient Academy’s Super Class.

The second was Wu Tianyi, the director of the Demon Management Bureau.

These two were both major figures. Wu Tianyi was the number one figure in Wencheng, while Luo Zijie was a rising star, the Young Master of the Luo Family, and a Sword Cultivator with immense combat power.

Tu Xiao’an hadn’t expected that in such a short time, he too had attained Rank 3, even reaching Level 33, the same as Bai Junran.

Luo Zijie must have attained Rank 3 while Tu Xiao’an was in the Yaoling Mountain Range, which was why he didn’t receive the system notification immediately.

After leaving the Yaoling Mountain Range, Tu Xiao’an had been so busy that he had completely forgotten about this War Servant.

Now, the three great families all wanted the Dragon Snake. This Snake Species was blessed with great fortune; whoever subjugated it would reap endless benefits with no downsides. They wouldn’t even trade it for a Rank 3 Pseudo Demon King.

The Dragon Snake was panicking. ’How am I supposed to get out of this? They’re all at the War King level, and all for a mere Snake Spirit like me.’

’I’m just fish on a chopping block, waiting to be carved up.’

The Dragon Snake quickly turned its pleading gaze toward Tu Xiao’an. If the Snake King didn’t intervene, it was completely doomed.

Its ultimate fate would be to become a House Guardian Divine Beast for one of the three great families, enslaved by humans.

Tu Xiao’an turned his face away, pretending he hadn’t seen a thing.

’When I offered to make this Dragon Snake my Battle Companion before, it acted so reluctant. Let it suffer a little now.’

Now, five masters had the Dragon Snake completely surrounded, all of them vying for ownership of it.

Luo Zijie stepped forward and looked at Bai Junran. "Jun Ran, you should know how important the Dragon Snake is. My Luo Family certainly won’t back down, and I doubt the Qin Family will either. This is a Demon sanctuary. If we act rashly here, we risk antagonizing all these Demons. Why don’t we cut to the chase? Let’s get the Dragon Snake out of here first, and we can decide who it belongs to once we’re outside."

Bai Junran gave Luo Zijie a cold look, but seeing the logic in his words, he nodded.

’These Demons may have surrendered for now, but who knows if they’ll have a change of heart and retaliate.’

"Dragon Snake, come with us obediently. You should know you have no choice."

Bai Junran’s icy gaze fell upon the Dragon Snake, his aura overwhelmingly domineering.

The Dragon Snake was cursing its luck. ’Dammit! The Snake King has no intention of helping me at all. Didn’t he say he wanted to make me his Battle Companion? So why isn’t he helping me?’

’Is he really just going to watch as these damned humans take me away?’

"Are you all dead?!" the Dragon Snake roared, pinning its hopes on the crowd of Demons standing all around. "These humans are being so arrogant, trying to make us Demons their slaves! Let’s attack together and annihilate these insolent fools!"

The assembled Demons naturally hated these human Martial Cultivators, but with the Snake King present and silent, who would dare make a move?

They could only ignore the Dragon Snake’s words. Besides, this Dragon Snake was incredibly arrogant, calling itself a Divine Dragon.

"Dragon Snake, if you won’t listen, do you need to be taught a lesson?"

Bai Shenlong barked.

His previous palm strike had already made the Dragon Snake spit up blood. In his eyes, dealing with a mere Snake Spirit was ridiculously easy.

"Hmph. This Dragon Snake is just asking for a beating. I doubt it will come with us obediently unless we beat it to a pulp."

Qin Yong raised his large saber, his threatening intent perfectly clear.

Luo Muren let out a cold laugh. "In that case, let’s all help loosen this snake’s bones a bit. They say a Dragon Snake blessed with great fortune is protected by the heavens. I’m just curious to see exactly how the heavens plan to protect it, haha..."

Several auras at the War King level erupted, pressing down directly on the Dragon Snake.

Instantly, the Dragon Snake felt like Sun Wukong being crushed beneath Five Finger Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha. Its massive serpentine body couldn’t move an inch. It was only at the mere Snake Spirit Level; how could it possibly withstand the auras of several War Kings?

"This little snake submits! This little snake submits!"

Suddenly, with no other choice, the Dragon Snake raised the white flag and lowered its proud, serpentine head.

Hearing these words, the members of the three great powers—the Bai, Luo, and Qin Families—were instantly overjoyed. But then, they all asked in unison, "To which family do you submit?"

There were three families present. If the Dragon Snake made its own choice, it would save them the trouble of fighting over it later.

As the saying goes, all things in creation follow their own laws. The living beings of the world who awaken to Cultivation are all incredibly intelligent, each with their own strengths. This Dragon Snake was a peerless Snake Species, born to fortune and blessed with great luck—a one-of-a-kind symbol of good fortune.

For such a symbol of good fortune to choose for itself could be considered the will of heaven, and one could not defy heaven’s will. If the Dragon Snake declared its submission to the Bai Family, then the Luo and Qin Families, no matter how unwilling, would have to accept their fate.

But if the Dragon Snake chose to submit to the Luo Family, the other two could just pack up and go home.

Besides, they were all Hidden Clans of Wencheng and needed to maintain some face with one another. None of them wanted to fight to the death over a single snake.

As expected of a creature that had cultivated to the Snake Spirit Level, even one blessed with great fortune, the Dragon Snake understood that it was wise to yield to circumstances. Forced by the situation, it immediately bowed its head.

The three families were all gratified, as this saved them a great deal of trouble.

Instantly, pairs of shining eyes locked onto the Dragon Snake, all hoping it would have the wisdom to recognize true worth and announce their family’s name.

But the Dragon Snake swept its large, serpentine eyes over the Bai, Luo, and Qin Families without missing a single one. A look of utter contempt filled its gaze as it spoke in a human voice, "Get lost, all of you! By what right do you think you’re worthy of this Divine Dragon’s submission? If you don’t have a mirror, go take a piss and look at your own reflection!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three families changed, and they flew into a rage. "You damned Snake Spirit! So your submission was just a trick to make a fool of us! It seems you’re really itching for a beating!"
