Chapter 1080: Chapter 32 The Plight of the Snake Clan_2 Chapter 1080: Chapter 32 The Plight of the Snake Clan_2 Miss Feng Ying crouched on Feng Yin’s shoulder, reading a book.

After half a day’s walk, they realized something was amiss.

The seven snakes clearing the path were too brutal.

Wherever they went, not a blade of grass remained.

Every Demon Beast encountered on their onward path was uprooted.

All kinds of Demon Beast corpses lay scattered and scattered, a dazzling sight to behold.

This was akin to a trial journey for the little snakes, and these little guys had one great advantage: no matter how hidden or narrow the Demon Beasts’ hiding spots, nothing could stop them.

Even holes no wider than chopsticks were no obstacle for them.

With the Ghostly Soul Snake, now significantly stronger, leading the rear, they were utterly invincible in this territory!

The Ghostly Soul Snake hissed sharply.

The six little snakes struck out simultaneously.

With another hiss, they shifted positions.

The six young ones encountered a setback when they confronted a triple-headed crocodile, which steadied their mentality considerably.

Their abilities were rapidly improving as well.

Combat prowess grew by leaps and bounds, like sesame flowers blooming in succession.

At the same time, their venom also surged in potency.

Now, while the little ones’ combat power could not yet match that of their father, the Snake Emperor, each of their venoms had already surpassed his.

Since the Snake Emperor was late in fetching them, Feng Yin could only continue to keep them as his own.

One day, they reached the Black Mist Mountain Range, almost as if they were on a leisurely tour.

This was also the Snake Clan’s stronghold.

The dwelling of the Snake Emperor.

Feng Yin had early on given the order for the seven to cease their slaughter.

They had to be at least somewhat civilized.

The little snakes were to recognize their ancestors and return to their roots.

They ought to make a good impression.

If the Snake Emperor saw them, he might think, “What the hell, you’ve raised six butchers for me…” Not a good look.

What puzzled Feng Yin, though, was that… they were now close to the Snake Clan’s stronghold.

Yet, why were there hardly any snakes to be seen?

If there were any, it was very few.

This area, dark and damp, should have been perfect for the Snake Clan’s dwelling.

It was not until they had penetrated a thousand li that they began seeing members of the Snake Clan.

Moreover, each seemed like a frightened bird, huddled in caves, hiding underground, not daring to come out.

Not even the young snakes were to be seen.

Those of the Snake Clan who had not yet assumed human form were also hardly visible.

In the sky, various flying Demon Species continuously soared to and fro, eagles, cranes, vultures, roc…

It was a collection of almost everything one could imagine.

Feng Yin sighed.

So that was it.

This situation was something he had anticipated before and even warned the Golden Emperor about. Nevertheless, it seemed like the Snake Clan remained in dire straits.

They couldn’t avoid being besieged.

Occasionally, the flying Demon Species from the sky would dive down, followed by the sounds of battle.

Then, they would be seen flying off with a large snake in their talons.

It was clear that in the battle with the flying Demon Species, the Snake Clan had suffered a crushing defeat.

From a distant peak, an angry roar filled with rage echoed, “Flying Eagles, Dark Vultures, do you really intend to wipe us out?”

It was the voice of the Golden Emperor.

Sounding slightly out of breath, he was evidently gravely wounded.

But at least he was alive.

In the sky, two giant shadows circled menacingly.

An ominous voice replied, “Our species are natural enemies. If your Snake Clan grew powerful, would you spare us?”

“At least we would not go to such extremes.”

“But now you have crossed the line!”

“Golden Emperor, we don’t ask for much. Hand over that batch of young snakes, and we will withdraw immediately!”

“You’ve nearly wiped us out, how can you expect us to believe that?!”

“We will not believe!”

The Golden Emperor was extremely frustrated.

He had never dreamt that he would be forced into such a desperate situation!

In the past few months, the Snake Clan had lost at least tens of thousands of their top experts!

Even the Elders and various Clan Kings had lost more than half of their numbers.

Yet the Flying Species still relentlessly pursued them.

“The Demon King has decreed not to go too far!”

The Golden Emperor bellowed in anger, “When will you be willing to stop?”

The aerial rulers of the Flying Species also felt helpless.

What does it mean for the Snake Clan to suddenly present over four hundred talents with Emperor Rank potential? For a species, having one or two such powerhouses was already impressive.

Four hundred in the Snake Clan at once!

For a natural enemy species with tens of thousands of years of blood feud, the sense of crisis was instantly palpable.

To the Flying Species, this was undeniably a colossal threat for the future.

In fact, the possibility of future extinction wasn’t far fetched.

Given the Snake Clan’s cold-blooded nature, nothing they did would come as a surprise.

But the Demon King had spoken; they could start a conflict, but they absolutely could not annihilate the Snake Clan.

Now that things had escalated to this point, it was a dilemma they couldn’t simply walk away from.

How many of the four hundred plus geniuses had the Snake Clan lost during this period? That was incalculable.

But one thing was certain: they definitely had not all been killed by them!

The Golden Emperor would never allow such a thing to happen!

Even with the most optimistic assumption that three hundred had been killed, that still left over a hundred!

Once a hundred Emperor Ranks matured, coupled with today’s deep-seated hatred…

How could the sovereigns of the various Flying Species ever be at ease?

No matter how much the Golden Emperor assured them, they could not be reassured. Yet if they stated their conditions, they had none to offer.

So they just had to drag it out.

To pull out now would leave them anything but satisfied!

But as for how far to go?

That was something none of them really knew.

Moreover, they dared not kill the Golden Emperor.

For that would truly provoke taboo, leading to resistance from the rulers of other Demon Species.

“Golden Emperor, tell us the truth, how many are left? We’re not being unreasonable; won’t it be enough to keep ten?”
