Chapter 338: Yun Yun Appears, Retreats the Snake-People Army with a Single Word?
As the five of them retreated simultaneously, a dazzling cyan light suddenly approached rapidly from the sky behind the fortress. Seeing this light, Nalan Jie and the others felt puzzled.
As the cyan light drew closer, they realized that it was a woman with a pair of cyan wings on her back.
When Nalan Jie and the other three saw the figure within the cyan light, they breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"So it’s Sect Leader Yun Yun!"
As Nalan Jie spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the woman hovering above the Snake-People army in the distance. The fear in his heart grew more intense as he noticed that the woman was now looking toward the fortress.
Soon, the cyan-robed woman who had flown from behind the fortress arrived in front of Nalan Jie and the others.
This cyan-robed woman, whose serene and stunning face slightly furrowed as she looked at the distant woman walking in the sky, was none other than Yun Yun, Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect.
"Sect Leader Yun Yun, I didn't expect you to arrive at the fortress so quickly!" Although Nalan Jie was much older than Yun Yun, his tone showed a trace of respect as he spoke to her.
The others also greeted Yun Yun with great respect.
"Princess Yao Ye requested our help several times. As the leading sect of the Jia Ma Empire, the Yun Lan Sect couldn’t simply stand by and watch as foreign forces invade."
Yun Yun's red lips parted slightly, her tone calm as she responded to Nalan Jie.
As she spoke, her gaze met that of the distant woman in the sky, and a trace of surprise flashed in her heart.
"Sect Leader Yun Yun, we have a serious problem this time. It seems that Queen Medusa has somehow broken through to the Dou Ancestor level!" Nalan Jie said, his face filled with worry.
In their minds, the only one in the Snake-People Tribe capable of such power was Queen Medusa, so they naturally assumed that the suddenly appearing elder of the Snake-People was indeed Queen Medusa.
"Queen Medusa at the Dou Ancestor level!"
Upon confirming the woman's strength and identity, Yun Yun's expression grew solemn.
Recently, thanks to the Seven-Colored Sacred Lotus left by Gu He and other treasures, Yun Yun’s cultivation had progressed rapidly, and she had reached the level of a Five-Star Dou Emperor. However, even with this level of cultivation, she was still somewhat lacking when facing a Dou Ancestor expert.
Her only hope now lay in the set of Ice Armor that Gu He had given her, which was embedded with several Eighth-Tier ice-type magic cores. With the Ice Armor's barrier, even a Dou Ancestor expert wouldn’t be able to harm her.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun’s expression relaxed as she slowly flew forward. A crisp and cold voice rang out from her mouth.
"Did the Snake-People start this war recklessly because they think our Jia Ma Empire is easy to bully?"
"What? Sect Leader Yun Yun actually dares to provoke Queen Medusa!"
Seeing Yun Yun’s actions, the others couldn’t help but feel a surge of anxiety.
Xiao Yan was no exception. Upon learning that Queen Medusa was a Dou Ancestor expert, he had already decided to retreat from this fortress and avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
In his ring, Yao Lao also urged him anxiously, "Little Yan, although Queen Medusa's aura isn't as powerful as that of the shape-shifting magical beast in Stone Desert City, with my current soul state, I would fall into a deep sleep if I had to fight another expert of this level. You've already gained enough experience from this war, so take advantage of Yun Yun holding the front line and leave this dangerous place!"
"Teacher, if we leave here, where should we go next?"
Xiao Yan asked in confusion after hearing Yao Lao's words.
"Let’s head to the imperial capital of the Jia Ma Empire. Your three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran is nearing, and you'll have to go to the capital eventually. Besides, there might be something in the capital that could help me recover some of my soul power!" Yao Lao pondered for a moment before replying.
"Alright, but before we head to the imperial capital, I need to visit my eldest and second brothers first!"
Xiao Yan, who had ventured deep into the desert this time, encountered the Snake-People army before he even started. He was worried that Xiao Ding and Xiao Li might learn of the situation and be concerned about him, so he decided to visit them to let them know he was safe.
After making his decision, Xiao Yan chose to leave without informing anyone. While the others were focused on Queen Medusa, he quietly slipped away from the fortress.
Although Xiao Yan's departure without notice didn't go unnoticed by the others, they didn't think much of it. After all, Xiao Yan was only in his twenties and had already achieved such remarkable accomplishments. His future prospects were undoubtedly limitless, and it would be a great loss if he were to fall at this border fortress.
At this moment, Yun Yun had already flown to within a hundred meters of the Snake-People’s Grand Elder.
The countless Snake-People soldiers below, as well as the four Snake-People leaders flying in the sky, were furious at Yun Yun's provocative behavior. They were well aware of the Grand Elder’s strength, so in their minds, it was only a matter of time before Yun Yun would be effortlessly captured.
Initially, the Snake-People's Grand Elder wanted to teach Yun Yun a lesson for her almost provocative behavior. However, when she thought of the white-robed figure in her mind, she quickly dismissed the idea.
"Hmph, once Her Majesty the Queen fully matures, no one will be able to stop the rise of our Snake-People Tribe."
With a cold snort in her heart, the Snake-People’s Grand Elder turned around, completely ignoring Yun Yun.
The next moment, she directly ordered the four Snake-People leaders, "By the order of Her Majesty the Queen, all tribesmen, retreat to our territory immediately."
"What!"
"Why are we retreating?"
"With such a great opportunity, why not capture this fortress that has been entrenched here for years!"
The four Snake-People leaders, Yin Shi, Yan Ci, Hei Du, and Hua She Wang, were all stunned by the Grand Elder's order.
Not far away, Yun Yun was also shocked to hear the order. She hadn't expected that the Dou Ancestor-level expert before her wasn't Queen Medusa.
"Why would Queen Medusa suddenly order a retreat?" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.
Under her watchful gaze, the four Snake-People leaders, though reluctant, quickly led the army back into the depths of the desert according to the Grand Elder's instructions.
"Young lady, we will meet again!"
After the army set off, the Snake-People's Grand Elder suddenly spoke coldly to Yun Yun before turning into a streak of light and leaving the area.
"The Snake-People have retreated?"
"What exactly did Sect Leader Yun Yun do? Could it be that a single word made the Snake-People army retreat?"
