Chapter 388: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One]_3 Chapter 388: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One]_3 “What are you going to do when you get to Hundred War Pass?!”

“By coming here, I’m possibly marching towards death; but perhaps, with the strength of my brothers and I, Yuezhou can be preserved. Now that we’ve taken a risk, I am here anyway!”

The general laughed aloud: “As for what to do at the Hundred War Pass… That’s not what we need to worry about right now. There are so many people in Great Qin, any one of them could hold it. Let’s focus on you who are bound to die first!”

“You son of a…!”

Ma Qiange’s eyes reddened even as he cursed.

This man had been an adversary for many years. Every meeting led to arguments, which often escalated into fistfights; at every instance, one of them would invariably fall within three minutes – either him, me, or both of us together.

But this same man, knowing he was bound to die, led his troops here, pledging to share the fate of Yuezhou!

“Stop getting all sentimental!”

The general scoffed, “I sure as hell didn’t come here for you! Look at you, you disgusting piece of shit. Could I die for you? You’re ugly, but you think highly of yourself. I’m doing this as a general of Great Qin, and not losing a speck of our land is our ironclad rule!”

“Son of a bitch!”

Ma Qiange roared angrily, eyes bloodshot.

This bastard was still just as irritating as ever, only slightly less than Fei Xinyu!

As time went on, countless silhouettes appeared in the distance and approached Yuezhou from all directions. There were members of the Dark Guards, people wearing Rainbow Heavenly Clothes, and martial artists from various sects…

Great Qin’s emergency summons, the order to resist the monster tide and protect Yuezhou, had been issued.

All of Great Qin was on the move, urgently rushing to their aid.

Many experts from the capital and beyond, despite the risk to their energy and cultivation, were sprinting their way here.

Thirty million lives were under the shadow of the serpent’s kiss.

This matter had stirred the hearts of people all across Great Qin.

The Emperor gave a stern order, “At all costs, preserve the lives of the people of Yuezhou!”

“Burn incense and shatter jade, please ask the old ancestor to come down from the mountain!”

…

Inside the city.

No longer was He Xiangming the composed woman she usually was. Sitting in her chair, she wasn’t able to stand up after quite some time, her pretty face as pale as snow, her eyes losing their focus.

Others might not know why the serpent tide had come, but how could He Xiangming not know?

Once you thought about the story of the King of Falcons, Eagles, and Hawks, it wasn’t hard to imagine that the trouble had been caused by more than four hundred snake eggs!

However, another question lingered in He Xiangming’s mind.

While it was extraordinary that more than four hundred eggs of the Swallowing Heaven Python were stolen, both in terms of quantity and quality, how could it have resulted in the appearance of the King of all snakes?

This… didn’t seem to make sense at all!

Keep in mind the person who took the Swallowing Heaven Python’s eggs had also stolen many high-grade pet beasts before. Master Ling had raised some small eagles and hawks from this thief’s loots. Therefore, regardless, the situation should not have escalated to such a severe extent.

There must be something wrong…

Little did He Xiangming know, the reason why this matter had escalated to such a degree was due to the Snake Emperor, a party who was indirectly involved, renowned for his revengeful nature and pettiness.

Furthermore, the most significant reason for the Snake Emperor’s massive mobilization was born out of his grievances – he had clearly been in the right but was severely wounded, requiring a hundred years of isolation to recover…

For the Snake Emperor, who had accumulated a century’s worth of anger without an outlet, even without the theft of the Swallowing Heaven Python’s eggs, this Emperor would surely have taken a different action. Otherwise, this pent-up frustration accrued over so many years may cause the Emperor to fall ill.

In other words, the timing couldn’t have been better for the Snake Emperor who had just emerged from isolation. Hearing the grievances of the Swallowing Heaven Python couple, he decided to wage a war, which turned out to be a fluke!

“I may not be able to defeat the Purple Emperor, but who’s to say I can’t flatten a small city like Yuezhou?”

However, after arriving, he found himself with a delightful surprise…

The Purple Emperor happened to be there, and he couldn’t escape!

Isn’t it wonderful…?

Well, from this perspective, it was hard to say who was taking the blame on behalf of whom between the Purple Emperor and Yuezhou City. Most likely, the Purple Emperor was the greater culprit. Hence, bearing the safety and resentment of thirty million inhabitants of Yuezhou, it was indeed a well-deserved karma!

Of course, besides the Snake Emperor himself, very few people were able to understand the cause of everything.

Overall, who could have thought that a moment of rage could lead to an act with severe repercussions and trigger a monstrous tide? No normal person, or monster, would carry out such an act.

…

Of course, He Xiangming could never know any of this. All she could think about now was, what to do about this situation?

The more than four hundred lively and cute snake cubs in her hands were surely to be handed over.

But the key issue was not that, but whether the serpent tide would retreat after they were handed over?

Also, this matter… could not be concealed at all.

Sooner or later, He Bibiqu and the others would find out.

If they were to be held accountable or sought revenge…

Thinking of this, He Xiangming immediately jumped up, took a few people with her, ordered hurriedly to gather all the snake cubs, and went proactively to find He Bibiqu to discuss countermeasures.

All along the way, she was filled with indescribable regret.

The last time that man brought the eagle and hawk chicks, it had already caused the Beast Taming Sect to suffer a great disaster, almost leading to the sect’s extermination.

This time, he brought so many high-quality snake eggs, originally wanting to make a fortune. Who knew it would invite a serpent tide?

This is just…

Where could she go to make sense of all this?
