The underground world had an extremely complex terrain. Within this abyssal region, the expanse was vast beyond measure, filled with countless passages of varying sizes, crisscrossing endlessly like a maze.
Even the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, who ruled this place like native overlords, probably could not fully determine where every single passage led. If outsiders entered and ran around blindly, they would easily get lost.
Fortunately, Wei Yang and the others were well-prepared before coming here, and naturally possessed a detailed map. Therefore, in less than an hour, they smoothly arrived at the underground world.
Along the way, they even passed through numerous serpent clans, and after roughly half a day, they finally reached the true headquarters of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan: the Underground Serene Snake Network.
The Underground Serene Snake Network was the true nest of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, and also the sacred land in the hearts of countless serpent clans. As the sacred core, the defenses of the Underground Serene Snake Network were naturally extremely strict.
Normally, even ordinary members of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan were not allowed to enter casually.
"No wonder they're considered one of the three great clans of the magic beast. Even though their bloodline isn't pure, just looking at that mountain range… it truly deserves to be called a place where experts gather like clouds."
On a mountain peak outside the Underground Serene Snake Network, Wei Yang and the other four gradually revealed themselves, gazing into the distance at the stretching mountain range as he spoke softly.
"I didn't expect there would be serpent clans here too, and the scale of these clans… they're countless times stronger than ours." Medusa sighed as she looked down at the densely packed clans spread across the plains.
A moment later, she exclaimed, "I've seen in our ancestral records that our clan supposedly migrated to the Tagore Desert long ago, but we don't know whether our ancestors originally came from this Beast Region."
Qing Lin also watched the scene before her with curiosity.
After all, she too possessed Snake-People Clan blood in her body. Although that serpent bloodline once caused her childhood to be filled with pain and sorrow, it didn't change the fact that half of her lineage originated from the Snake-People Clan.
It was precisely that bloodline that granted her the extremely rare Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which eventually led her to Wei Yang's side. Her Snake-People bloodline originated from the Tagore Desert, from Medusa's clan.
Even though she had now fused with the mutated Ancient Heaven Serpent bloodline, there were still remnants of serpent blood flowing within her. Therefore, within this group, Medusa's relationship with Qing Lin was rather close.
At least in Medusa's eyes, Qing Lin was half a clanswoman, and naturally she treated her far more warmly.
Xiao Yan looked toward the depths of the underground network, chuckled, and said, "The Nine Serene Spring is located deep within this Underground Serene Snake Network, but there are many hidden experts inside. Some are even at the Ban Sheng level. If we alert them, it'll be troublesome. Senior Brother, should we sneak in quietly, or greet the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan first?"
"Why bother greeting them? Troublesome. From the moment their clan chose to side with the Three Great Dragon Kings, it was destined that they would be our enemies. We'll have to face them sooner or later.
When dealing with enemies, there's no need to be polite. We'll just sneak into the Nine Serene Spring. If they don't notice, good. If they do, then we'll deal with it when it happens." Wei Yang said.
"Alright." Hearing this, Xiao Yan and the others nodded.
Indeed, since the sides were destined to be enemies, there was no need for courtesy. Sneaking into the enemy's nest didn't require announcing their arrival.
"Conceal your auras as much as possible. I'll bring you in." Wei Yang instructed.
The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan was not weak, and now that they were entering the heart of the enemy territory, Wei Yang did not dare to be careless. He became far more cautious, because if they were discovered, things would definitely not be easy.
"Okay."
"Let's go!"
Wei Yang flicked his sleeve, and the surrounding space rapidly twisted, wrapping tightly around everyone's bodies. Then space rippled, and the five figures disappeared mysteriously.
Now, Wei Yang had already stepped into a level that stood at the pinnacle of this world. Regarding the power of space, he had already reached a level of mastery. He could even open up a stable small pocket world within the void itself.
Although he was bringing several people with him as they infiltrated the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan's lair, as long as he remained cautious, it was clear that nothing unexpected would happen.
Thus, they continued to shuttle through space, heading toward the depths of the Underground Serene Snake Network, and along the way not a single disturbance was stirred.
However, the closer they came to the depths of the Underground Serene Snake Network, the more clearly Wei Yang could sense the increasingly powerful auras hidden within.
There were even one or two occasions when faint soul perception swept past the space they were hiding in, carrying a hint of suspicion, as if it sensed something abnormal.
Fortunately, those subtle anomalies did not attract serious attention, and with Wei Yang's concealment and Xiao Yan's assistance, they passed safely.
Relying on this, the five of them narrowly avoided the senses of many powerful beings and quietly slipped into the deepest part of the Underground Serene Snake Network. At the extreme depths of the earth vein, there was an enormous dark abyss, like a gaping hole in the core of the earth.
It was a hundred meters wide, pitch black and bottomless, and from its depths surged an astonishingly frigid and sinister cold, like the winds of the underworld, howling upward without pause.
The environment here was incredibly harsh, and could only be described as a true forbidden zone of life. Even a normal expert, just by standing here, would feel as though their blood and even their Dou Qi were on the verge of freezing solid.
"We're here."
At the bottom of this abyss was the hidden holy ground of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan: the Nine Serene Spring.
This was precisely the goal of Wei Yang and his group. There were no guards beside the abyss, because the frigid, howling underworld winds erupting from below served as the most natural defense.
Facing winds like these, even a peak Dou Zong level expert would not dare resist casually.
Whoosh!
As space twisted slightly, the figures of Wei Yang and the others slowly emerged. Revealing himself, Wei Yang glanced at the pitch-black, bottomless chasm before them and the roaring cold winds, then smiled faintly.
Without pausing, he waved his sleeve again, and dense spatial power wrapped around the group, tearing straight through the unbearably frigid winds as they plunged into the darkness below.
The abyss was extremely deep.
Even with Wei Yang's speed, it took nearly ten minutes before they finally saw the true bottom. As they neared the ground, they immediately spotted a massive lake not far away. The soul-freezing cold aura was slowly spreading outward from within it.
Wisps of extremely cold yin energy rose gently from the lake's surface.
Wei Yang and the others descended and landed steadily upon the ground. Looking ahead, they saw that the lake was enormous, and its waters were a deep yellow. Yet within that yellow hue flowed faint streaks of eerie blood-red coloration.
Streams of cold yin energy—pale yellow tinged with blood—continually seeped out from the yellow waters, rising upward and roaring straight toward the sky.
