Chapter 175: Subduing Yaoming!

Stopping his footsteps beside the Nine Nether Yellow Spring, Gu Fei crouched down and touched the lake water with his palm.

In that instant, a deep yellow ice crystal rapidly climbed up his arm; fortunately, Gu Fei had an Exotic Fire to protect him, and he instantly melted the congealed ice crystals.

"Cai'er, Zi Yan, it is extremely cold here; I fear that even the clansmen of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan could not endure this for long!"

"Therefore, except under special circumstances, no one usually comes here!"

"The two of you wait for me here first; I am going to the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Spring!"

"Husband, be careful!"

"Splash!"

Gu Fei gave the two a few instructions, then his figure moved, and he plunged directly into the Nine Nether Yellow Spring, rushing toward the bottom like lightning.

The cold power within the Nine Nether Yellow Spring was terrifying; Gu Fei had only descended for a short while before he felt that this cold air could threaten some low-level Dou Zun experts.

However, with his current cultivation as an Advanced Half-Saint, it would be rather ridiculous if he could not enter a place like this.

"Hiss, hiss!"

Before long, a faint, strange sound suddenly entered his ears, and Gu Fei immediately noticed that the water flow behind him had suddenly accelerated.

In Gu Fei's field of vision, deep within the Yellow Spring, a dense mass of black mist was rapidly spreading toward him; those were not so-called "black mist," but countless small, pitch-black snakes covered in strange scales.

And the harsh hissing sound in the surroundings was also produced by these strange snakes.

"Swish, swish!"

While still a long distance from Gu Fei, these strange snakes opened their ferocious mouths, and countless deep black water arrows were sprayed out from their mouths.

The wailing sound of the water being pierced caused the surrounding lake water to emit low, explosive sounds.

"Get lost!"

Gu Fei struck out, unleashing several bursts of scorching energy to repel some of the strange snakes.

But there were too many of them, and Gu Fei did not linger, accelerating his speed downward.

Not long after, a glimmer of light actually appeared at the end.

And at this depth, the strange snakes seemed somewhat wary and did not continue to follow.

"Is this the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Spring?"

Before long, what appeared before Gu Fei was an extremely vast sandy ground.

"Save... me..."

Suddenly, a faint moaning sound passed through the water flow and into Gu Fei's ears.

"Clatter!"

Gu Fei grabbed downward with his palm, and a palm print was immediately gouged into the sandy ground.

A massive iron chain, a hundred zhang long and buried beneath the sand, was exposed to Gu Fei's sight; Gu Fei grabbed it from a distance, and the chain was slowly pulled out by him.

As the iron chain was pulled out, the rest of the ground suddenly began to tremble, and three more massive iron chains rose from the silt.

In the center of the iron chains was a large mass of pitch-black silt, and as the silt dispersed, the object within was gradually revealed.

It was shockingly a person, withered all over, looking just like a skeleton.

"To be locked under this dark Yellow Spring for so many years, it truly is suffering!"

Looking at that skeleton-like figure, Gu Fei sighed inwardly.

To endure such inhuman torture for so many years, he did not know how the person had survived it.

"Save me... save me..."

"If you save me, I will make the entire Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan acknowledge you as their master!"

As Gu Fei looked at the withered figure, the latter's deep-set eyes suddenly opened, looking at Gu Fei with some joy.

"Acknowledge me as master?"

Hearing the promise made by the skeleton-like person, Gu Fei hesitated for a moment.

As a heaven-gifted talent of the Ancient Clan who might inherit the position of Clan Leader in the future, he did not even look upon ordinary people who wanted to follow him.

However, someone like Yaoming did have some redeeming qualities; he was originally the Clan Leader of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan, and his cultivation had reached a Two-Star Dou Saint, which counted as a decent expert.

Even a powerful force like the Ancient Clan would not be so arrogant as to refuse the allegiance of a Dou Saint.

"Hoo, hoo..."

The previous struggle and shouting seemed to have consumed a great deal of the skeleton figure's strength, and now even his breathing was somewhat rapid...

From within those four massive chains, extremely cold energy was constantly transmitted, consuming the Dou Qi generated within the former's body.

This kept the skeleton figure in a state of extreme weakness at all times.

But at the same time, this consumption would not directly take his life.

Just like this, he could only linger on in this permanent state of consumption; this was simply more painful than killing him.

"Young friend, I am the Clan Leader of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan, Yaoming... as long as you can save me, I will definitely fulfill the promise I just made and acknowledge you as my master!"

While Gu Fei was hesitating, the skeleton-like figure spoke again.

"You are not the Clan Leader of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan now; that Yao Xiaotian is..."

Gu Fei smiled and shook his head.

"That scoundrel Yao Xiaotian, it was he who used a poisonous scheme back then to seize my position and seal me at the bottom of this Nine Nether Yellow Spring!"

"This beast caused me to suffer the pain of the cold energy tempering my body for hundreds of years!"

"If I am fortunate enough to see the light of day again in this life, I, Yaoming, will definitely make him wish he were dead!"

Upon hearing the three words 'Yao Xiaotian', the eyes of the person who called himself Yaoming instantly turned blood-red.

Gu Fei was naturally very clear about the grudge between these two.

Yaoming had great strength and was the most legitimate candidate for the Clan Leader of the Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan.

Yao Xiaotian also understood this in his heart; he usually appeared respectful to Yaoming, but in secret, he was plotting a poisonous scheme.

It has to be said!

Yaoming has been trapped here for hundreds of years; such an end is indeed quite pathetic.

"I will take action to help you get out, but the struggle for the position of Clan Leader will depend on yourself!"

Gu Fei sighed softly and agreed to the request of Yao Ming.

"I possess the Nine Nether Underworld Staff, which is the token of the Clan Leader of my Nine Serenity Deep Earth Python Clan..."

"As long as I can escape from the Yellow Spring Bottom and deal with that Yao Xiaotian, then I will be the new Clan Leader!"

Hearing these words, Yaoming also quickly demonstrated his value to Gu Fei.

"Young friend, you only need to help me shatter that Yellow Spring Yin Stone, and I will be able to come out!"

"Hmm!"

Gu Fei nodded slightly.

Afterwards, he found the other end connected by the four chains: a Yellow Spring Yin Stone containing powerful yin-cold energy.

"Bang!"

After multiple attacks, the Yellow Spring Yin Stone finally shattered; at this instant, Yao Ming exerted force violently, and those chains were snapped apart.

And just as Yaoming broke the Seal, inside a magnificent palace deep within the Nether Snake Earth Vein, it was extremely lively.

On the throne in the great hall sat a man dressed in black.

As the man in black opened and closed his eyes slightly, sharp glints flickered, like a venomous snake that could kill a person in an instant.

Beside the man, two enchanting women were carefully massaging his body, while his large hands were constantly roaming over the soft, delicate bodies of the two women.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the slightly closed eyes of the man in black snapped open, and in them, there was a trace of shock: "The Seal has actually been broken?"
