Chapter 597: The Friendship of the Medusa Clan! Crush the Purple Gold Empire!

Upon hearing this, the many serpent women were all startled.

Just the sandstorm caused by her advancement had such immense power—how strong must this warrior be in person?

No wonder these serpent women were astonished!

"Hmm, are there serpent folk even in the desert?"

In the sky, Meng Ying also spotted these serpent women.

Immediately, she noticed the difference.

The serpent folk of the Beast Kingdom, though they had human upper bodies, were far too monstrous to be considered anything but beasts.

But these serpent women were all exquisitely beautiful, dressed in splendid garments.

"Could they be Medusas?"

Meng Ying thought.

Their numbers were not large.

Then again, how many people could the endless desert possibly sustain?

Then Meng Ying saw the scattered remnants of the Guodejiao Society's army.

Though relatively powerful, that army was only powerful compared to ordinary people.

A kingdom's church army—even the Temple Knights—was typically composed mostly of Third or Fourth Rank warriors.

And Meng Ying was now Tenth Rank!

The sandstorm caused by her advancement had already devastated this church army.

"Great god, please send down…"

The bishop, just crawling out of the yellow sands, saw Meng Ying arrive and turned pale with fear, instinctively praying to his deity.

"Boom!"

Meng Ying showed no mercy—a single spell sent the Eighth Rank bishop and the remaining church members straight to heaven.

Thus, the last remnants of the Silver Sand Kingdom were wiped out!

With these church personnel gone, the three kingdoms would hardly face any chaos.

The surrounding serpent women, witnessing Meng Ying's power, could not help but feel wary.

Out of curiosity, Meng Ying descended.

"Are you the Medusa clan?"

Meng Ying asked.

"Yes, noble warrior."

Among the serpent women, one with exquisite features transformed her tail into legs and stepped forward.

She could actually grow legs!

Meng Ying found this strangely fascinating.

On her person, Meng Ying sensed a potent energy fluctuation—clearly, this was a serpent woman of at least a Forbidden Spell level.

But she had not yet reached the Sacred Domain.

"So, is the endless desert your territory?"

Meng Ying asked.

Seeing that Meng Ying meant no harm, the serpent woman's expression softened slightly. She said:

"We merely live in the oases of this desert. This desert is not yet our territory, but this region is our home."

Meng Ying asked: "Are you the only Medusa clan in this desert?"

The serpent woman replied: "Life that can survive in the desert is scarce. Besides us, there are only some sand beasts and scorpions. But much of the eastern desert remains unexplored—we know nothing of what lies there."

Meng Ying nodded and said: "I come from the realm of the Great Lord of Flame, here to conquer the nation beyond the desert. These people are remnants of that nation. Do not worry—we will not interfere with your lives. If you need aid, you may write to me. You may call me Meng Ying, Holy Maiden."

Saying this, Meng Ying pulled out several magic letters and handed them to the serpent woman.

The serpent woman approached the magic letters, delighted by Meng Ying's goodwill, and said:

"Holy Maiden Meng Ying, I am Lucine. Xie Xienin. We have lived in this desert for many years. This desert is not beyond taming—if you are interested and willing to send people to assist us, we can transform vast stretches of this desert into oases."

The Medusa clan observed human intentions with remarkable accuracy.

On Meng Ying, they felt no malice whatsoever.

Thus, seeing Meng Ying's immense power, they deduced she must be a person of great influence in her realm—and that was why she proposed this initiative!

Meng Ying was indeed intrigued.

She said: "Of course I'm interested. But right now, we are preparing to attack an empire to the north. When the war ends, I will send someone to contact you. Anyone bearing the Flame Symbol is ours."

Meng Ying pointed to the Flame Symbol on the magic letter.

"The empire to the north? Is it the Purple Gold Empire?"

Lucine asked.

Meng Ying nodded: "You know of it?"

Lucine said: "Of course. We once lived in the Great Rock Kingdom. The Purple Gold Empire destroyed Great Rock and treated us with extreme hostility—so we were forced to flee into the desert. Since you plan to attack the Purple Gold Empire, I will send a few of our people to join you."

Meng Ying paused, then agreed: "Very well."
