Chapter 596: Demon Seeking Help
After collecting all the heavenly and earthly treasures he needed in the Chilly Poison Realm, Xiao Ze stretched lazily and gazed into the depths of the realm. That was where Xiao Yi Xian was in seclusion, and he had left many protective measures there for her, including numerous Primordial Tree Roots. Leveraging these roots, Xiao Ze could easily create what were essentially disposable attack weapons. Since the Primordial Tree Roots were from his own power source, they could perfectly contain his strength.
Coupled with Xiao Ze's unparalleled amount of Dou Qi and his recovery rate, it was not difficult for him to create these roots imbued with his power. Among the most convenient and effective were the Jiu Xuan Golden Thunder and the Primordial Emperor Flame, of which Xiao Ze kept three roots each. The power they could unleash was formidable enough to trouble even a Six-Star Dou Saint at the initial stage, and could potentially severely injure someone unguarded.
Moreover, once these roots were activated, Xiao Ze would immediately sense it. With the help of the Primordial Tree Roots, he could traverse boundless distances to arrive at Xiao Yi Xian's side in no time.
Xiao Ze sensed that Bi Shuang Tian Poison Scorpion was still guarding near the Poison Lake and nodded slightly. With such layers of protection, he felt reassured to leave.
In the infinite void, Xiao Ze's figure appeared out of nowhere. "Although the alliance is currently engaged in a war with the Soul Clan, under the deliberate control of the Soul Clan, both sides are merely depleting each other's strength and have not yet reached the point of a decisive battle," Xiao Ze thought, his eyes flickering with thought.
"Recently, I've drawn the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan to join the alliance, which has stationed Dou Saint-level powerhouses at the headquarters of the Dan Alliance... The strength of the Dan Alliance should be sufficient unless the leader of the Soul Hall personally intervenes. It should not be necessary for me to appear."
"This is a good opportunity to visit the Void Thunder Pool again and complete the transformation of the Northern Dragon King's body!" Xiao Ze's soul perception dived into his storage ring, where he saw the grim and fearsome body of the Northern Dragon King and couldn't help but shake his head. Although turning it into a puppet could alter its appearance — its fearsome face could be an excellent deterrent to enemies — Xiao Ze did not need it for combat, rather for guarding his family, so a less intimidating appearance would suffice.
Just as Xiao Ze was about to head to the Void Thunder Pool, he suddenly received a transmission through the Tree of Origin. "Lord Xiao Ze! The Nine Nether Earth Python clan has suddenly been attacked by the Demon Phoenix clan, and their clan leader, Huang Tian, has personally led the charge!"
"Huang Tian is at the late stage of a Five-Star Dou Saint; could you possibly lend your aid?" Upon receiving the message from Yao Ming, Xiao Ze's brow furrowed. He had rescued Yao Ming before and had Qing Lin place a soul imprint on him, effectively keeping Yao Ming under his control as a measure to prevent anyone from disturbing Medusa, who was cultivating in seclusion in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
Xiao Ze had also given Yao Ming a dragon-shaped jade pendant, which could be used to contact him in case of an encounter with an irresistible enemy. However, Yao Ming was not aware that Xiao Ze had now reached the peak of the Six-Star Dou Saint stage, hence his mere inquiry. After all, the late Five-Star Dou Saint, Huang Tian, was beyond the Xiao Ze that Yao Ming knew could handle.
While Xiao Ze had reached the Dou Saint level, the gap to the late stage of a Five-Star Dou Saint was still vast. Yao Ming hoped, considering Xiao Ze's rapid rise to power at a young age, that there might be a formidable force behind him that could contend with the Demon Phoenix clan.
Seeing Yao Ming's plea for help, Xiao Ze's expression grew solemn. In the original story, Huang Tian aimed to target Medusa at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, coordinating with the Northern Dragon King's deployment of the Dragon Demon Array to distract Xiao Yan, thereby allowing the Northern Dragon King to deal with Zi Yan without interference.
But now, with the Northern Dragon King already reduced to a corpse in Xiao Ze's storage, why was Huang Tian still causing trouble for the Nine Nether Earth Python clan? Could it still be targeting Medusa? Xiao Ze pondered with a hint of doubt.
Currently, Medusa had not yet successfully broken through her cultivation and likely could not match Huang Tian in strength. Xiao Ze hurriedly inquired for more details from Yao Ming. After a thorough discussion, he breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't about Medusa after all. The deep secrecy around Medusa's cultivation at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs meant it was highly unlikely her location would be compromised, much less targeted abruptly.
The true reason behind the aggressive approach of the Demon Phoenix clan this time stemmed from the alliance of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan with the Dan Alliance, which significantly increased the pressure on the Soul Clan. Consequently, led by the Soul Hall, the Soul Clan approached another major demonic beast clan, the Demon Phoenix clan, to form an alliance.
