Chapter 407: The Nine-Nether Profound Snake Has Arrived

Upon hearing these words, a flicker of deep thought flashed through the eyes of the Nine-Nether Profound Snake.

He suddenly recalled what Youji Nuhuang had said; could this young man be the person they had been searching for all this time?

Better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one slip away.

Thinking of this, the Nine-Nether Profound Snake immediately waved his hand, a look of extreme excitement flashing in his eyes.

"You go back first for now, don't alert the enemy, and wait until later when I bring men to capture that man and bring him back!"

Having said this, the Nine-Nether Profound Snake laughed wildly.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqiu knew that today's matter was considered over, and hurriedly nodded.

Once Xiaoqiu left, the Nine-Nether Profound Snake then summoned the octopus monster and other Sea Clan members from earlier in the day.

"Tell me, what did the person you saw during the day look like, and what exactly happened?"

The Nine-Nether Profound Snake fixed his gaze on the octopus monster.

Speaking of this matter, the octopus monster felt extremely aggrieved; he had originally thought he could easily bring back that Meng Yong, but who would have thought a hero would suddenly intervene, causing him to lose his wife and soldiers!

Several of the octopus monster's tentacles had been severed, and his face was black and blue; now, as he deliberately put on a fawning smile, his features were all twisted together.

Seeing him in this state, the Nine-Nether Profound Snake could not help but feel some disgust, but thinking of the promise Youji Nuhuang had made to him, he could only force himself to endure it.

"My Lord, you don't know, that stranger was too arrogant, and he had several beautiful women with him; their cultivation was also very profound, and they didn't feel like people from around here."

As the octopus monster said this, a look of covetousness flashed in his eyes.

After all, any one of those beauties taken alone was a stunner, let alone so many of them.

If he could be given just one, that would be the best thing ever.

When it came to women, the Nine-Nether Profound Snake did not care much; after all, he had already seen a stunning beauty—although Youji Nuhuang had thunderous methods, she was peerlessly beautiful, a rarity in this world.

Moreover, Youji Nuhuang had promised him that if he could capture the man who possessed the Divine Dragon Martial Soul, he could ascend to the Immortal World in the future.

That was the Immortal World; a place he might not even be able to step foot in even if he worked hard until his lifespan was exhausted.

Thinking of this, the expression on the Nine-Nether Profound Snake's face was one of extreme covetousness; he wished he could capture that mysterious man on the spot.

"I didn't really see that man make a move, but he looked like a pretty boy; the women beside him had truly profound cultivation, and I couldn't probe them at all."

The octopus monster thought for a moment and couldn't help but add.

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Nether Profound Snake immediately felt at ease, though in his heart he still didn't think those people's abilities were anything special.

After all, the octopus monster only looked intimidating and was a bit troublesome, but in reality, his cultivation was not high.

Thinking of this, the moment the Nine-Nether Profound Snake thought about how he could ascend to the Immortal World as long as he captured all these people, he became impatient.

With a wave of his large hand, he said to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him: "Go! We are going to round them all up right now!"

The moment the octopus monster thought about being able to take revenge, his tentacles moved incessantly in excitement, looking exceptionally comical.

At this very moment, the Barbarian tribe's banquet had reached its end, and Su Chen also intended to return to his quarters to rest.

The bonfire had burned out, leaving only flickering sparks, and only a few scattered people remained walking about.

Seeing that it was over, Su Chen did not stay any longer and turned to head back to his tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw the bedding was lumpy; Su Chen subconsciously thought someone had gone to the wrong place, then saw a head poke out from inside.

"Master, you haven't pampered me for several days now, shouldn't you give me a chance?" Who else could this be but Xiaoxian?

Su Chen chuckled, couldn't help but walk up to Xiaoxian, and pulled her into his arms.

Xiaoxian was still a bit aggrieved, her voice sounding delicate; when she had been hiding in the bedding just now, she had made her hair a mess, with two stray hairs standing up on top.

"Master, have you forgotten about Xiaoxian? As expected, men are all heartless, ungrateful wretches."

Saying this, Xiaoxian feigned annoyance and patted Su Chen's chest.

Su Chen sighed softly, stroked Xiaoxian's hair, and then said: "It's just that the journey has been exhausting lately; Xiaoxian is so cute, how could I forget you?"

Xiaoxian couldn't help but curl her lips, instantly beaming with joy, but she remained stubborn on the surface: "Hmph, don't think I don't know; the other sisters all said you are the best at sweet-talking."

Su Chen hurriedly raised his hands and said pitifully: "I've been wronged, Xiaoxian; my sincerity toward you is witnessed by the heavens. For you to wrong your husband like this makes me so disappointed."

Xiaoxian was already a bit simple-minded, and now that Su Chen said this, she couldn't quite react in time.

"How could that be, you... I..."

Watching Xiaoxian become incoherent with anxiety, her face turning red, Su Chen was then satisfied and pulled Xiaoxian into his arms.

"Alright, alright, alright, I know that's not what you meant. How about I, your Young Master, pamper you properly tonight?"

Su Chen's voice was gentle, carrying a hint of comfort.

Xiaoxian then nodded, leaning against his chest like a little bird.

"It's bad, it's bad, the Nine-Nether Profound Snake is here!"

Meng Huo's voice came from outside the tent, stopping abruptly at the entrance, only shouting at the top of his lungs.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Xiaoxian was unwilling, but she knew that important matters were at stake, so she could only get out of Su Chen's arms with a look of reluctance, push open the tent, and see the anxious Meng Huo.

"Leader Meng, no need to worry, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

Su Chen walked up to Meng Huo and handed him a Spirit Fruit, signaling for him to moisten his throat and speak slowly.

Meng Huo was in no mood to eat a Spirit Fruit now, his eyes filled with terror.

"The people on patrol just saw the Nine-Nether Profound Snake bring several Sea Clan members over; they have already started destroying everything wantonly. We were no match and were forced to retreat. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I came to warn you."

Having said this, Meng Huo couldn't help but sigh, looking at Su Chen with deep concern.

"The Nine-Nether Profound Snake?" Su Chen immediately captured the key information.

"That's right, he is a giant beast born in the depths of the sea and is currently the commander of the entire Sea Clan. I don't know why he came in person with such a large force tonight, but there is no one in our tribe who can contend with him..."

Speaking of this, Meng Huo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

It seems that the Nine-Nether Profound Snake is very likely an envoy of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor; coming here with such great effort tonight is likely because he received news of him.

Looking at it this way, the Barbarians were still implicated by him.

Thinking of this, his expression was somewhat unsightly, but also carried a few parts of gravity.
