Chapter 173: Another Maid Qing'er Joins the Ranks
All the Black Ranking powerhouses of Black Corner Region knelt.
They had no choice. For a brief moment, some resisted, but upon feeling the overwhelming Dou Qi, all thoughts of defiance disappeared.
Before them stood a true Dou Zong.
Even Golden Silver Elders, who claimed they could fight against a Dou Zong two on one, knew they could only barely hold their ground at best.
But Wu Tian?
He wasn't just an ordinary Dou Zong. His terrifying Dou Qi, combined with two Heavenly Flames, made it impossible for them to even breathe properly.
Though unwilling, they submitted for in Black Corner Region, the strong reign supreme.
This rule was true throughout the Dou Qi Continent, but nowhere was it clearer than here.
Wu Tian glanced around at the kneeling figures, retracting his aura with a confident smile.
Even so, not a single person dared to stand up.
They had all witnessed the fusion of two Heavenly Flames an energy so terrifying that everything around them had been erased.
A chill ran down their spines as cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.
Han Feng, however, was in the worst shape of all.
Lying limp on the ground, he knew his fate was sealed.
With the Sea Heart Flame in his body, there was no doubt Wu Tian would take it.
And once he lost his Heavenly Flame, his fate would be either death… or something even worse.
At least, that's what Han Feng believed.
But Wu Tian didn't spare him a second glance.
Instead, his gaze shifted to a certain group of women.
Among them was a stunning beauty Qing'er.
Since Tian Snake Mansion had "gifted" him people, he figured it would be rude not to accept.
A playful smirk curled at Wu Tian's lips as he stepped toward Qing Changlao, his voice cold and commanding.
"Qing Changlao of Tian Snake Mansion, you're here to investigate Lü Man and the Eight Winged Black Serpent Emperor, aren't you?"
"How do you know that?" Qing Changlao instinctively asked, then immediately realized if Lü Man and the Eight Winged Black Serpent Emperor were missing, it had to be related to this man.
Wu Tian chuckled.
"The Eight Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Bai Ya, has already submitted to my Snake Tribe. As for Lü Man? She willingly became my maid."
"And since one maid is too lonely, from now on… you're my maid as well."
Qing Changlao's eyes widened.
A proud Dou Huang reduced to a mere maid?
Impossible.
Her piercing gaze met Wu Tian's, her heart filled with defiance.
But
"Call me 'Master.'"
Wu Tian's sharp gaze flashed with cold authority.
Qing'er's heart trembled. Her body, against her will, felt an overwhelming urge to obey.
"...Master."
The word slipped from her lips before she could even think.
Wu Tian's smirk widened. Just as expected.
No bite from Queen Medusa this time.
After all, Wu Tian was not just collecting maids he was subjugating the powerhouses of Black Corner Region.
Medusa understood this well. With eleven Dou Huangs under their banner, the Snake Tribe would become the strongest force in the Northwest Continent.
Thus, she allowed it.
The stronger their faction became, the weaker Tian Snake Mansion's grip would be. Eventually, it would be ripe for the taking.
Wu Tian felt immense satisfaction.
Now this is a wife!
Understanding his ambitions, supporting his actions this is what a true queen should be.
Qing'er, meanwhile, blinked in confusion.
She was a Dou Huang yet just by uttering a single word, she felt an unbreakable bond of servitude form between herself and Wu Tian.
It was absolute.
She knew without a doubt that if Wu Tian commanded her to do something, she would obey without hesitation.
This terrified her.
She had never felt such complete submission before.
Struggling to process her emotions, Qing'er bowed deeply.
"Qing'er greets Master."
The other Tian Snake Mansion women: …
The Black Ranking powerhouses: …
What just happened?
A Dou Huang… calling him 'Master'?!
Is she insane?!
Submission was one thing. But willingly calling him "Master"?
What exactly did Wu Tian do to her?!
A sense of unease filled the hearts of the other kneeling powerhouses.
What if they ended up like Qing'er too?!
That would be humiliating beyond belief.
Wu Tian, noticing their expressions, chuckled coldly.
"Relax."
"I won't make you my maids or guards. You're not worthy yet."
His gaze landed on Han Feng, who was still trembling.
"Han Feng, don't worry. I won't kill you."
"In fact… I'll tell you when Yao Chen and his disciple return to Black Corner Region."
"All you have to do is handle them when they arrive."
"But…"
Wu Tian's smile darkened.
"Your Sea Heart Flame? That stays with me."
Wu Tian vanished from his spot reappearing right beside Han Feng.
Han Feng, upon hearing he wouldn't die, felt a moment of relief.
But…
His Heavenly Flame.
Without hesitation, Han Feng forced his Sea Heart Flame out of his body surrendering it to Wu Tian.
As soon as the flame left him, his body weakened drastically, his face turning pale.
Quickly, he pulled out several pills from his storage ring and swallowed them, regaining some strength.
Wu Tian raised a brow.
"As expected of an alchemist.** Any other person would've suffered a cultivation drop… but you? You're only exhausted.**"
"Impressive."
But…
"You made the right choice."
Wu Tian smirked, flipping his hand revealing a scroll.
"This is the complete version of Fen Jue."
Han Feng's eyes widened in shock.
"The real Fen Jue…?!"
With this, he could absorb multiple Heavenly Flames!
But before he could celebrate
Wu Tian's voice turned icy.
"However… there are two others in this world who also possess Fen Jue."
"One is your master, Yao Chen."
"The other? Your junior, Xiao Yan."
"They will become your greatest enemies."
Han Feng's expression hardened.
Yao Chen was dead, yet he still took in a disciple?
Unforgivable.
Wu Tian then turned his gaze to the kneeling powerhouses.
"From now on, the ten of you are Snake Tribe's Protectors."
"All of you… will answer to Han Feng."
"If anyone has a problem with that, speak now."
Silence.
No one dared to object.
Even Golden Silver Elders remained quiet.
Until
BOOM!
Golden Silver Elders suddenly attacked Wu Tian!
The entire room froze in disbelief.
They actually dared…?!
Wu Tian, watching their fists approach, simply smiled.
"Heh."
"Let's see how long you last."
