Chapter 377: The Fox Clan and the Snake Clan
"Boom!"
On this day, the entrance to the Snake Valley, usually silent, suddenly emitted a loud noise.
Rubble flew, and the mountain wall collapsed!
Following that, the entire Snake Valley shook and swayed violently, as if a subterranean dragon were turning over!
The sky, which had been sunny, suddenly changed, and the entire valley was filled with frost.
At the entrance, the Snake Clan guards hiding in the Diyuan, lakes, cliff caves, and other places were panicking and sounding the alarm one second, only to be frozen stiff the next.
The sound of enemy attack echoed throughout the entire Yougu.
The experts of the Snake Clan turned pale with shock and swarmed out in full force.
However, when they rushed to the entrance of the Snake Valley, the battle had already ended, leaving only the corpses of the Snake Clan guards all over the ground.
Two of the young leaders, who were the younger generation the Snake Clan had focused on cultivating, were now both stiff and decapitated.
In the following half-month, every few days, bad news would be sent back from the outside.
Members of the Snake Clan who were training, cultivating, or visiting relatives outside were killed one after another, and their heads were deliberately thrown at the entrance of the Snake Valley.
The high-level officials of the Snake Valley were furious, but they seemed to know what had happened; they did not send anyone to investigate the killer, but immediately ordered all Snake Clan members still outside to return to the Snake Valley.
Experts and troops were dispatched to guard the entrance of the Snake Valley.
The entire Snake Valley was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear and oppression.
At this moment, in the palace above the cliffs of the Snake Valley, an emergency meeting was being held.
The high-level officials of the Snake Clan were all gathered here.
The Snake Queen sat upright on the throne on the high platform, her face cold and solemn, her scarlet eyes filled with worry.
"Abominable! Those bastards from the Divine Rat Cave and Black Water Pool, who were once as close to us as brothers, I never expected that they wouldn't even reply to our letters now..."
"What's even more abominable is the Snow Jade Palace; not only did they not send troops to help us, they actually sent a message asking His Majesty to personally lead troops to Huangcheng to help suppress the rebellion! Don't they know that our Snake Clan is at a moment of life and death?"
"Hmph, that group of Fire Wolves has always been cold-blooded and only cares about themselves; now, I fear they are abandoned by their followers and cannot even save themselves."
"Sigh, when the Wolf King released the news, he swore that the royal bloodline of the Fox Clan had been completely extinguished. I never expected it to suddenly appear now, and I heard it is the most pure Nine-Tailed Divine Fox bloodline in the last thousand years. The Immortal-Passing Sacred Tree, which has been dead for a thousand years, has actually blossomed and borne fruit again!"
"Your Majesty!"
A white-haired and white-bearded elder of the Snake Clan said with a face full of pain: "If we do not make a decision now, there will be no more opportunities! Our clansmen have suffered heavy casualties these days; we cannot wait any longer!"
Another Snake Clan elder also sighed: "I estimate that they cannot even save themselves now, so how could they send troops to rescue us? We can only rely on ourselves now."
"According to the news sent back by Liner, among the eighteen vassal states, twelve have already publicly sworn that they will follow that Fox Clan Princess, help her crusade against the Wolf Clan, and assist her in restoring her country."
"At first everyone was watching, but after that Immortal-Passing Sacred Tree mysteriously blossomed and bore fruit, and the Eagle Clan, Bear Clan, and Deer Clan all publicly swore their allegiance together, the other clans all began to follow suit..."
"Just two days ago, the Dog Clan, which had the best relationship with the Wolf Clan through marriage, suddenly killed the Wolf Clan princess and generals and publicly announced their loyalty to that Fox Clan Princess..."
"Hmph, in the end, it is because that Fire Wolf King failed his tribulation; otherwise, those old fellows would not have chosen sides so quickly..."
The high-level officials of the Snake Clan spoke one after another, expressing their own opinions.
At this time, the Snake Queen, who was sitting on the high platform, spoke in a cold voice: "According to what this Queen knows, that ancestor of the Fox Clan who failed his tribulation a thousand years ago and should have long since passed away, did not die, but has suddenly returned from another continent."
Once these words were spoken, all the high-level officials of the Snake Clan were filled with shock.
"Your Majesty, is this news true?"
Several elders of the Snake Clan changed color and asked hurriedly.
The Snake Queen nodded silently.
Seeing the Queen so certain, the hearts of those elders and other high-level officials of the Snake Clan plummeted into a bottomless abyss.
If they had held a glimmer of hope at the beginning, now, they were completely desperate.
"Is my Snake Clan truly going to be wiped out..."
An elder sighed hoarsely.
The other clansmen were all pale.
A breath of despair and sorrow shrouded the entire palace.
At this time, the Snake Queen said in an icy voice: "This Queen has decided to set off tomorrow to personally surrender to that Fox Clan Princess."
Once these words were spoken, all the members were shocked.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done! You cannot go! When the Diku Fire Wolves rebelled, our Snake Clan was one of the first to speak out, and we also helped the Fire Wolves kill many Fox Clan troops. With such deep hatred, how could the other side accept our surrender?"
The members tried to persuade her.
The Snake Queen smiled faintly: "If this Queen does not go, who can? Are we to just watch as the thousands of years of heritage of our Snake Clan are destroyed in one fell swoop?"
"Your Majesty!"
"This Queen has already decided, no need to say more!"
The Snake Queen rose from the throne, her scarlet eyes looking at the high-level officials of the Snake Clan below, her face full of coldness and determination: "Second Royal Uncle, Seventh Royal Uncle, ministers, hear my order! If the other side refuses, or if this Queen cannot return, you must immediately have the Great Princess ascend the throne and prepare for a fight to the death! Even if my Snake Clan is to die, we cannot die like cowards!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The clansmen replied in unison, with an air of being ready to face death.
Evening.
