Judging from the snake spirit's behavior, this Liu tribe elder was obviously related to Huihui's disappearance. No wonder he was so angry.
While I was thinking, the black-clothed man's palm had already landed on the snake spirit's body.
If it was an ordinary person, a Yang God Celestial Master would be able to kill him with one blow. Even if it was someone with the same cultivation level, they would be seriously injured if they were caught off guard.
However, the snake spirit not only had the cultivation level of a Yang God Celestial Master, but it had also transformed into a real dragon.
It wasn't difficult for a scale worm to become a Yang God Celestial Master. As long as it had good cultivation talent and suitable cultivation techniques, it could become a Yang God in a few hundred years.
However, transforming into a real dragon didn't depend on cultivation level. It was more important to have bloodline and opportunity.
The snake spirit's original body was a dragon, so its bloodline was needless to say.
I was also a key part of Emperor Ku's thousands of years of plan. The snake spirit often accompanied me, so there was no need to mention the opportunity.
Moreover, according to the snake spirit's character, it wouldn't make a move unless it could deal with it easily.
Therefore, I wasn't worried that the black-clothed man's attack would hurt the snake spirit.
On the contrary, I was afraid that the snake spirit would transform into its original body and swallow the black-clothed man.
At that time, the fact that the snake spirit had transformed into a real dragon couldn't be hidden anymore.
Kunlun was an Immortal Realm. If a real dragon could enter Kunlun, there must be something special about it, apart from the consideration of cultivation level.
We were now in the Liu tribe's territory. If they found out that the snake spirit had transformed into a real dragon, they might find a way to keep him here.
In addition, the blood of a real dragon was an item of extreme Yang. It was even more coveted than a real dragon's vein.
If the snake spirit handled things a little differently, it would not only attract the attention of the Liu tribe, but it would also become the target of all the cultivators in the world.
When we left Kunlun Mountain, I realized this problem. That was why I told the snake spirit not to reveal its original body.
However, I didn't tell him the reason at that time. With his character, I was afraid that it would cause him to panic. Otherwise, when I really needed him, he would be afraid and would delay things.
I stopped thinking about this matter and began to circulate my Wizard Qi. I planned to immediately set up a barrier here to isolate the real dragon's aura when the snake spirit transformed into its original body.
However, as soon as the Wizard Qi flowed to his hands, the snake spirit retreated a few steps.
However, his expression was the same as usual, so he should not have been injured. Fortunately, he did not transform into his original form because of this, which was somewhat not in line with the snake spirit's style.
However, just as I was feeling confused, the Spirit Snake muttered. "As expected..."
From the looks of it, he seemed to have intentionally offended the black-clothed man. He probably wanted to test or confirm the guess in his heart.
I have a whole new level of respect for him for being able to have such a calm mind.
When the black-clothed man saw that he couldn't injure the snake spirit, he didn't continue to attack. Instead, he stared at the snake spirit. I couldn't see his face, so I didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this, I couldn't suppress the curiosity in my heart anymore. I hurriedly went next to the Spirit Snake and asked what it had sensed.
The Snake Spirit didn't ignore me as it had before. Instead, it told me that it had sensed Huihui's Blood Essence in this person.
According to him, he and Huihui had been together for a hundred years. Although they weren't husband and wife in name, they were husband and wife.
So, the snake spirit was very sensitive about Huihui. Even a piece of Huihui's scale couldn't escape his perception.
He had just sensed Huihui's aura, but when he saw this man, he had an idea. He had to prove it by provoking him.
After listening to the snake spirit's words, I understood.
I had to say that the snake spirit's way of dealing with this matter was reliable.
Since Huihui's Tian's Tian had been absorbed by this man, something must have happened to Huihui.
Right now, we should go to the Liu tribe to investigate. However, the snake spirit had questioned the black-clothed man. He must have been alerted and wouldn't let us enter the Liu tribe.
Even so, we might as well be tough and force these people to lead us into the Liu tribe. But then, we would have to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Liu tribe. This would put the fox girl in a difficult position.
However, this was the worst-case scenario.
After all, we didn't know the inside story. If Huihui's bloodline was special like Yaoyao's, we might not know if she took the initiative to offer her Tian's Tian blood.
Thinking of this, I told the snake spirit what I was thinking. This matter was related to Huihui, so I had to let the snake spirit handle it himself.
After listening to me, he didn't immediately respond. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing this, I didn't disturb him. Instead, I asked the fox girl next to me in a low voice if I had informed them. If it was done, we could return. We didn't need to stay here any longer.
Of course, I wanted to send her away. Once the snake spirit decided to use tough methods, the people of the Liu tribe wouldn't be his match. At that time, the fox girl would inevitably be involved.
I knew that because of my identity, the fox girl wouldn't interfere in this matter. However, I was afraid that the Liu tribe would blame this matter on the Qingqiu tribe. The two tribes would inevitably become estranged.
The final negotiation would also be affected. I was afraid that it would ruin Yaoyao's plan.
I didn't know if the fox girl could understand the situation in front of her. After listening to my words, she didn't immediately respond. After thinking for a while, she nodded and excused herself.
After she left, I could completely relax. No matter what choice the snake spirit made, I wouldn't let today's matter go.
After a while, I finally received the snake spirit's reply.
He told me that he planned to interrogate the man in black and ask him about Huihui's current situation first.
His thoughts were calm and clear. He had indeed considered it carefully.
Since that was the case, I could only respect his choice and indicate that he would take the lead in this matter.
Seeing that I had agreed, the snake spirit's aura surged and emitted a wave of pressure.
At that moment, the three people behind the man in black were already kneeling on the ground. The man in black was trying his best to resist, but his body was also trembling.
Dragons were the best of the Scaled Worms. Their natural restraints were difficult for the snake monsters to resist.
Then, the snake spirit asked where Huihui was and if she was okay.
Due to the strong pressure emitted by the snake spirit, the three people kneeling on the ground couldn't speak.
However, the man in black in front of me should be able to speak, but he didn't respond.
Seeing this, the snake spirit wasn't in a hurry. Instead, it raised its aura again, and the pressure on its body became stronger.
At that moment, the three people who were kneeling on the ground couldn't support themselves anymore. They all fell to the ground and kept twitching.
The man in black also knelt on one knee. His neck was resisting and he let out a low roar.
The snake spirit spoke again, but the man in black still kept his mouth shut and didn't respond.
Seeing this, I already had some ideas in my mind.
It seemed that the possibility of Huihui taking the initiative to offer her blood was very small. I was afraid that she had already been persecuted.
The snake spirit didn't continue to raise its aura since it didn't get a response. Instead, it was thinking about something like me.
After a while, it moved and lifted one of the people on the ground. Then, it erased the pressure on him and repeated the previous words, indicating that the person should tell me the details.
After the pressure was removed, the person's body softened. He seemed to be exhausted.
Since he had already tasted the snake spirit's tricks, he naturally didn't dare to hide anything. He immediately told the snake spirit that Huihui was in the Liu family's palace. As for whether she was safe or not, he didn't know.
The person's eyes were filled with fear, and he didn't hide his words. It was obvious that he wasn't lying.
In that case, Huihui was most likely trapped in the Liu family's palace.
However, the snake monster's status was low, so he couldn't know the inside story.
It seemed that I had to ask the man in black if I wanted to know the details.
The Spirit Snake seemed to understand what I was thinking. He casually threw the snake monster aside. Then, he lifted the black-clothed man and coldly said, "If you don't tell me the details, I will kill you immediately."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. I hadn't seen him like this since he had mistakenly entered the ancient battlefield in Chiyou's tomb. The snake spirit had lost its mind and turned into a dragon.
Even so, the man in black still refused to speak. This completely angered the snake spirit. He roared and his aura increased.
When I saw this, I was stunned. If I let him increase his aura, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide the True Dragon's aura in his body.
Thinking of this, I immediately set up a barrier of witchcraft energy around us and stopped the snake spirit.
However, the snake spirit was so enraged that he didn't care about my words at all.
The more he behaved like this, the more worried I was.
Back then, even Enlightened Master Guan's array formation was unable to isolate the aura of the Demon Core. The aura of the True Dragon was comparable to the aura of the Demon Core. How could my simple spiritual energy barrier completely isolate the aura of the True Dragon, which was the purest form of Yang?
Just as I was at a loss, the snake spirit's aura suddenly stopped.
I was suspicious and looked up. I found that his body was trembling and his face was pale. He seemed to be exhausted.
However, he wasn't injured, and the man in black didn't do anything. Why did he look like this?
After thinking about it carefully, I guessed that since the snake spirit had turned into a True Dragon and advanced to the Yang God Realm, he had neglected his cultivation and his realm was unstable.
He had forcefully increased his aura several times, which had consumed a lot of his strength.
However, seeing him like this made me relax. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
I moved closer to the snake spirit and patted his shoulder, asking him to retract his aura to preserve his strength.
Perhaps he knew that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he retracted his aura. His complexion looked better.
