Gu Fei was about to pat the little creature's head when he paused slightly after hearing the system prompt again.
Queen Medusa experiences surprise and anger, emotion value +100
Listening to the system's prompt, Gu Fei wasn't particularly surprised. He knew that there was another soul inside the body of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python- Queen Medusa's soul. At the moment, both Queen Medusa and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python were sharing the same body. However, Queen Medusa's soul had not yet taken control.
But Gu Fei didn't pay much attention to this detail. He treated the soul of Queen Medusa inside the python just like an ordinary, clumsy little seven-colored snake. When he was happy, he would rub its head; when it acted mischievously and bit his wrist, he would lightly tap its head as a form of punishment.

Gu Fei didn't pay much attention to Queen Medusa's temper. Given his cultivation, Gu Fei wasn't afraid of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python suddenly turning into Queen Medusa. Even if things changed, he had countless ways to prevent the queen from seeking revenge.
Speculation was pointless; the goal was right ahead. In the next moment, as the Green Lotus Core Flame was taken by Gu Fei inside the temple, the aura of the Heavenly Flame suddenly disappeared.

...
Outside the temple, the purple light curtain shattered, and cracks appeared inside the previously impenetrable temple.
Gu He and his group were fighting their way toward the temple. Once the barrier left by Queen Medusa completely shattered, they fought their way into the temple. However, Gu He and his group, slowed by the snake-people, struggled to fight off the surrounding enemies. He was holding a pill, ready to throw it to someone beside him, when he suddenly froze. The aura of the Heavenly Flame suddenly disappeared, and no one could sense its presence anymore.
"Inside, the energy fluctuations are extremely calm. As for the Heavenly Flame, could it have been destroyed by Queen Medusa?" Gu He stared intently at the temple as the blue smoke gradually dispersed, frowning, "The aura of the Heavenly Flame... has it disappeared as well?"
"Damn it, where is the Heavenly Flame?"
As an alchemist, Gu He was even more aware of the energy of the Heavenly Flame. "Queen Medusa's aura has suddenly disappeared." Gu He's soul perception quickly covered the entire island, probing every corner, but he still couldn't find any trace of the Heavenly Flame. Immediately, a rare expression of anger appeared on Gu He's usually composed face.
Meanwhile, the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City fell into a deathly silence as the aura of their most powerful Queen vanished. "Could it be that Queen Medusa failed her evolution?"
Finally, a serpent person couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Her Majesty, the Queen!" Moments later, countless eyes filled with hatred turned toward Gu He and his group.
Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Gu He's group tried to leave but were stopped in their tracks.
"Come and go as you please? Do you think our Snake-People Tribe is a place where you can do as you wish?"
The fiery-tempered Yan Ci, with fiery red Dou Qi (Battle Energy) burning like flames around him, glared angrily at Gu He and his group from above. Gu He's light blue flames surged out, but although they seemed formidable, Yan Ci didn't show any fear. Instead, his face was filled with a disdainful sneer.
He extended his hand, made a slight fist, and the fiery red Dou Qi on his body instantly condensed into a flame hand, which shot out violently. The flame hand wrapped around the blue fireball and crushed it to pieces.
From the very first exchange, it was clear that Yan Ci held a slight advantage in terms of strength. "I'll hold them off; you guys go find the Heavenly Flame and then figure out a way to escape!" Yun Yun, being the only Dou Emperor among them, had no choice but to use the last resort in the face of so many strong opponents.
Hearing this, Gu He nodded heavily, then quickly fled under Yun Yun's cover. "Get back here!" Seeing Gu He and his group's actions, Yan Ci and the others roared in anger and launched an attack. Yun Yun, however, easily summoned thousands of azure wind blades, each one carrying terrifying pressure.
"Your opponent is me," she said calmly. However, during the standoff, Yun Yun suddenly paused. She looked towards the northwest and murmured, "Two more people are coming... it seems it's time to retreat."
Spreading her azure Dou Qi wings behind her, Yun Yun turned into a black streak of light and quickly vanished. She escaped from the Holy City but was soon pursued again.
Surrounded by five people, Yun Yun's battle intent was higher than ever! She drew her long sword, her movements light as a swallow, and swiftly launched an attack on the closest person. The green-robed snake-person wanted to retreat but by then it was too late.
"Damn it!" From Yun Yun's sudden attack to the retreat of one of the five people, barely ten seconds had passed!
When the others came to their senses, the green-robed snake-person, who was among the top ranks in the Snake-People Tribe, had already been injured and was retreating in a disheveled state.
"She's too fast; don't fight her alone. Form the Five Snake Poisonous Death Seal!" Seeing the injured green-robed snake-person, the gray-robed elder shouted in a somber tone. Then, as the five of them formed the seal, a faintly glowing energy barrier appeared out of nowhere, tightly enclosing them within.
"Five Snake Poisonous Death Seal, activate!" In a moment, an extremely large energy pillar suddenly appeared in the sky. The huge energy pillar began to churn, and in an instant, the energy pillar transformed into a ten-meter-long green energy serpent!
Yun Yun engaged in battle with the green serpent, and more and more serpent people kept joining the fray. The green serpent wasn't exceptionally strong but was incredibly annoying. If this drags on, even ten Dou Emperors wouldn't be enough to outlast it!
At this moment, a faint voice came from the sky. "I didn't expect that when we would meet again, you'd be in such danger."

Suddenly, Yun Yun heard a familiar voice. She looked up in disbelief, only to meet the deep, dark eyes of Gu Fei, who was walking on air. He lightly tapped the void with his finger, and a flame shot out from his fingertip. The enormous green energy serpent began to writhe violently just from touching the flame and completely disappeared within a few breaths.
With their combined attack broken, the five Dou Kings of the Snake-People Tribe suffered severe backlash.

"Are you here to rescue this person?"
Gu Fei cast a cold glance at him, and a vast oppressive force swept out. The five Dou Kings of the Snake-People Tribe exchanged glances, their eyes filled with fear.

"Sir, we'll remember this day's account!" Yan Ci and the others retracted their Dou Qi, left a harsh word, and then led the surrounding snake-people away in defeat.

'I didn't expect it, but he saved me again. How should I repay him?' Ever since recognizing Gu Fei, Yun Yun's gaze had never left him.

'Who is this person? So young, yet he possesses such terrifying power!' In the distance, the hastily fleeing Gu He naturally witnessed this scene, and for the first time, a huge wave surged on his usually calm face.
