Chapter 1069: Chapter 1038: The Frustration of the Snake King

The Black Bear Demon, having never seen such an array, caused chaos, shielding its head from the pelting hail.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Snake King struck a blow to the New Bear King Xiong Wu, severely wounding him.

The group of Black Bear Demons was in disarray, wanting to launch an attack on the Snake King in the air, but the hail prevented them from organizing effectively, especially now that their New Bear King was severely injured.

Seeing this, the Snake King deployed a secret technique of the Spirit Snake Clan, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, fleeing towards the direction of the vast forest, leaving the territory of the Black Bear Demons.

"Chase him, kill him ..." New Bear King Xiong Wu let out an angry roar, and the Black Bear Demons surged forward.

While the Black Bear Demons were chasing after the Snake King, Xiong Zhuang did not follow them but approached the severely wounded New Bear King Xiong Wu and coldly said, "How does it feel to be the Bear King?"

Realizing he was only accompanied by a young bear demon, the New Bear King sensed something was wrong and, feeling frightened, tried to summon his subordinates back, but it was already too late.

Xiong Zhuang approached the New Bear King and, using his most superb mana, killed the Black Bear King.

"Hahaha, I am the Black Bear King now," Xiong Zhuang declared, ready to become the noblest king among the Black Bear Clan.

The other younger bear demons dared not revolt; seeing the Bear King dead, they hurried over to submit.

The Snake King was very fast, flying past the central boundary of the forest, and finally felt at ease.

The Spirit Snakes guarding the boundary heard the noise and thought the Black Bear Demons were attacking again, so without clarifying the situation, they blew the horn and began preparing for battle.

However, when they saw the figure shining with golden light, soon to come of age, standing before them was the Spirit Snake Prince, who had been invincible in battle, they were overjoyed.

"Are you the Prince?" a lower-ranking Spirit Snake carefully asked.

"I just fought with Xiong Wu, and you don’t recognize me?" the Snake King said, "Well, Xiong Wu is dead, I’ve come back. Line up, resist the intrusion of the Black Bear Demons!"

"Yes, Prince," the underlings were very excited. Their prince was indeed invincible. They had thought the Prince and the Black Bear King had both fallen, but now that the Prince was back, they no longer had to be bullied by the Black Bear Demons.

The Spirit Snake Clan had prepared well; when the Black Bear Demons caught up, both sides began to battle fiercely.

However, since the Black Bear Demons were without the lead of their Bear King, their offense was not fierce. Conversely, the Spirit Snake Clan, buoyed by the appearance of the Snake King and his ability to confront the highly skilled Black Bear Demons, held the upper hand.

The Black Bear Demons were repeatedly defeated, and the Spirit Snake Clan pressed them hard.

They nearly drove the Black Bear Demons out of the forest; unable to defeat the Snake King, they could only retreat with their followers. The Spirit Snake Clan dared not approach the territory of the Black Bear Demons any further and only hunted within the forest for offerings to take back.

Upon returning, the Black Bear Demons saw their deceased Xiong Wu, and Xiong Zhuang had become the Bear King.

Xiong Zhuang’s kingship was self-proclaimed, and not everyone was convinced; thus, internal strife began amongst the Black Bear Demons, as they vied for the position of Bear King, depleting their internal strength.

The Snake King, learning of their situation, thought to himself, "Humans are truly formidable, to think of such schemes. This visit to the Human Realm was not in vain; I not only improved my abilities but also learned the cunning of humans."

At the same time, he had grown fond of the kindness and gentleness of humans.

The Snake King admitted, he was thinking of He Tiantian again.

Alas, destined to meet but not fated to be together!

After setting up the defensive perimeter, Snake King returned to Spirit Snake Island.

At sea, he encountered the Spirit Serpent King rushing to reinforce them, along with those incompetent sisters and brothers.

"Father!" Snake King descended from the sky, landing on the Spirit Snake ship.

"Ah?" The Spirit Serpent King was taken aback but seeing his son return safely was deeply shaken. In his heart, he thought his son had perished along with the Black Bear Demon, Xiong Zhuang, in that great battle.

"I am Li Xian," Snake King said. "I didn’t die; I am back."

"My son, you are my son," the Spirit Serpent King exclaimed emotionally, "You are finally back, and I don’t have to go into battle anymore."

Upon hearing this, Snake King was so agitated that he stamped his foot. He had returned, and instead of a welcome or concern, his father was immediately talking about sending him into battle.

But thinking about home, where the sisters were only interested in dressing up and not skilled in martial arts, it was indeed difficult for only an old father to bear the burden.

As for his mother.

She was either pregnant or laying eggs, then incubating the eggs and raising the children.

"The Black Bear Clan has been defeated by me," Snake King reported. "They are in disarray now. The spoils of war will be sent later; let’s go back."

"Brother, brother, brother, brother..." His sisters and brothers pushed aside their old father, running up to Snake King. It was really good that Li Xian had come; they wouldn’t have to go to the battlefield and get their clothes and shoes dirty.

"Alright, let’s talk more when we get back," Snake King said. "Father, don’t cry. I see that we are now in a truce period with the Black Bear Demon, we shouldn’t have suffered any loss, right?"

The Spirit Serpent King led his son into the cabin and said, "We didn’t suffer a great loss, but we did endure many small ones. Because we had to keep fighting, the expenditure was huge, and I had no time for cultivation. Because of your disappearance, the relations with the Red Spirit Snake Clan became somewhat strained; they were reluctant to exert themselves, perhaps unwilling to assist me. They probably think I will die on the battlefield soon, and your siblings aren’t capable enough to be the next Spirit Serpent King. They are preparing to establish a good relationship with the next ruler."

Snake King had thought about the tremendous pressure his father faced after his departure, but he hadn’t realized how severe the situation was; it seemed he needed to seriously cultivate those incompetent siblings of his.

"The Red Spirit Snake Clan is too much," Snake King said indignantly. "If it hadn’t been for our protection over the years, how could they have lived in peace!"

The Red Spirit Snake Clan was not skilled in combat but excelled in medicine and had strong fertility, thus they had always intermarried with the Spirit Snake Clan.

"Alas," sighed the Spirit Serpent King with a bitter smile. "Do not be angry; this is human nature, it’s nothing serious. If I were the chief of the Red Spirit Snakes, I would do the same."

"Father, I am back, and I will definitely teach my siblings well, making them strive to learn skills," Snake King said. "Father, you can now focus on your cultivation."

"Yes, that would be very good," the Spirit Serpent King said, much relieved. "Since your disappearance, your mother has been constantly in tears, and her health has declined. This time she only laid five eggs!"

Upon hearing this, Snake King’s lips twitched.

Alas, amidst sadness and grief, she still didn’t forget to lay eggs.

Enough said, the love between father and mother is strong, which isn’t bad, at least there is no need to worry about them splitting up.

At this moment, Snake King could only console himself.
