BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 339: Passing on Power to Queen Medusa! The Immense Return of Cultivation!

"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?"

After seeing Yun Yun rush forward, Queen Medusa not only refrained from attacking but also led her army to retreat. This left Nalan Jie, Feng Li, and Lion King extremely curious.

As the four of them watched, Queen Medusa and the Snake-People army gradually disappeared from their view. They quickly moved to where Yun Yun was standing.

"Sect Leader Yun Yun, what did you say to Queen Medusa that made her retreat so easily?"

Nalan Jie voiced the doubt in his heart.

"That woman wasn’t Queen Medusa!" Yun Yun replied, sharing some of what she had overheard earlier.

"A Dou Ancestor-level expert who isn't Queen Medusa!"

"From the way she said 'By the order of Her Majesty the Queen,' it's clear that her status within the Snake-People Tribe is lower than that of Queen Medusa. This indirectly indicates that Queen Medusa is even stronger than the one we just saw!"

Hearing Yun Yun's account, Nalan Jie, Feng Li, and Lion King analyzed the situation with some lingering fear.

...

"This information must be relayed to Princess Yao Ye immediately, and we must quickly investigate the Snake-People's movements..."

Upon returning to the fortress, Nalan Jie, filled with concern, began issuing orders to the young officers.

Just then, an unexpected piece of news arrived.

"Marshal, it seems that in Stone Desert City, an unknown expert has blocked Queen Medusa and countless Snake-People soldiers?" A young soldier ran up to the city wall, panting as he spoke.

Nalan Jie and the others were nearly dumbfounded by the news. Even Yun Yun, standing on the city wall, was slightly surprised.

"Stone Desert City is just a small place. Didn’t we only station a commander at the Dou Grandmaster level there? When did such a powerful expert appear?" Nalan Jie took a deep breath, astonished.

"Reporting to the Marshal, that expert is rumored to have been invited by the leader of Stone Desert City’s largest mercenary group, the Elder Brother Mercenary Group!" The young soldier added.

"The leader of the Elder Brother Mercenary Group! Who is this person?"

Hearing the mention of a mercenary group, Nalan Jie and the others quickly inquired further.

At this moment, the middle-aged commander who had been stationed at the fortress suddenly spoke up: "Old Marshal Nalan, regarding the leader of the Elder Brother Mercenary Group, we only know that his surname is Liu, but his real name is unknown. He is estimated to be under nineteen years old, with a cultivation level around the Five-Star Dou Grandmaster. Additionally, it’s said that he is also a Tier 3 Alchemist. Within less than a year of arriving in Stone Desert City, he developed his mercenary group into the city’s top mercenary group. Moreover, they were the ones who provided us with early intelligence about the Snake-People’s movements!"

"What, this young man has such talent!"

Hearing the detailed introduction from the commander stationed at the fortress about the Liu-surnamed leader of the Elder Brother Mercenary Group, the group was secretly amazed.

Not long ago, they had witnessed the strength of a young powerhouse like Yan Xiao, and now they had discovered another young man with equally extraordinary talent, leading them to feel a bit emotional.

"It seems a new era is dawning for the Jia Ma Empire. We old folks should prepare to step aside!"

"Indeed, the future belongs to these young people."

"Given this, that Liu-surnamed youth must have a peerless master. With him there, there’s no need to worry about Stone Desert City."

...

As the others were expressing their sentiments, Yun Yun was deep in thought.

"Surname Liu, Tier 3 Alchemist, apprenticed to a powerful figure, less than a year..."

Piecing together various clues, Yun Yun quickly suspected that the youth in Stone Desert City was Liu Ling, a disciple sent by Gu He for training.

"Everyone, the retreat of the Snake-People army might be real or just a ruse. I intend to investigate further!"

After coming to this conclusion, Yun Yun directly bid farewell to Nalan Jie and the others.

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Nalan Jie and his companions fully agreed. Having a Dou Emperor expert helping to scout the movements of the Snake-People was something they couldn't have asked for more.

Of course, Yun Yun's statement wasn’t solely about investigating the Snake-People's movements. Her real purpose was to go to Stone Desert City and meet the powerful figure behind that Liu-surnamed leader.

Her intuition told her that this powerful figure was none other than Gu He, who had left the Yun Lan Sect some time ago.

"Husband, I hope you're still there!"

Praying silently in her heart, Yun Yun’s cyan wings suddenly spread out behind her as she swiftly left the city wall, flying towards the distant sky.

...

Meanwhile, deep within the Tagor Desert, Queen Medusa had long since left the main force and returned alone to the Snake-People’s temple.

Upon learning of Queen Medusa's return, Hua She'er, the captain of the Medusa Royal Guard who was guarding the temple, greeted her with a smile.

However, Queen Medusa’s first order upon her return was to have all the Medusa Royal Guards leave the temple. She also instructed that no matter what sounds or movements might occur in the temple afterward, no one was to enter without her command.

Although Hua She'er was puzzled by Queen Medusa's order, she carried it out without hesitation.

A few moments later, the enormous temple of the Snake-People was left with only Queen Medusa inside.

Queen Medusa did nothing, simply sitting quietly on the luxurious throne. The entire temple was enveloped in a profound silence.

After seven or eight hours of this silence, the space in the center of the temple suddenly began to twist violently.

Noticing this phenomenon, Queen Medusa's stunningly beautiful face lit up with joy, and she immediately stood up with a solemn expression.

"Disciple Cai Lin welcomes Master!"

As Queen Medusa bowed, a middle-aged man in a blue robe, with a refined and scholarly appearance, slowly stepped out of the distorted space, hovering in mid-air.

"Cai Lin, there’s no need for formalities between master and disciple!" Seeing Queen Medusa’s posture, Gu He waved his hand, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Master, have your injuries improved?"

Afterward, with concern in her beautiful eyes, Cai Lin asked.

She was well aware that the reason Gu He had temporarily parted from her was to allow her to handle the retreat of the Snake-People army and, on the other hand, to recover from his injuries.

"Injuries? ... Oh, that little injury is nothing to your master!"

Hearing that Queen Medusa’s first concern was his injuries, Gu He felt a bit embarrassed. After all, it had merely been an act, and he hadn’t expected Queen Medusa to be so worried.
