The words hung in the air, and for a moment, the entire Serpent Tribe banquet fell silent.
"Lord Xiao… is what you said true?"An elder of the tribe couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think I, your young master, would lie to you?"Xiao Yan shot the elder a displeased glance.
"Ah… no, of course not. How could Lord Xiao Yan deceive us?"The elder forced a sheepish smile.
"Not to mention anyone else, just the four of you—after obtaining that essence, you now have a chance to step into Dou Zong, right?"Xiao Yan lightly glanced at the four Supreme Elders.
"That's correct, thanks to Lord Xiao Yan."The four elders' faces lit up instantly with smiles.
"You serpents are not without talent. It's just that your bloodlines and inheritance had limited your growth. That's why super-strong warriors were rare in your tribe.
Now, with the reappearance of the first Medusa, your tribe's heritage has returned. As for bloodline power, I still hold the essence of Ninth-Rank magical beasts. With these two factors, half of you here might have a real chance of reaching Dou Zong level."Xiao Yan said with a smiling expression.
"Indeed… we are truly grateful to you, Lord Xiao Yan. Without you, when could our tribe ever have such an opportunity?"Flattery flowed immediately from Yanchi, earning Xiao Yan's approving glance.
Such talent—if he himself didn't reach Dou Zong, who else could?
"Besides these two advantages, joining the Flame Alliance will give your tribe access to vast resources and opportunities to interact with powerful experts."Xiao Yan continued slowly."With this, do you still harbor hatred toward the Gamma Empire or humans?"
"What hatred? The Gamma Empire has always been a good neighbor to our tribe. Joining the Flame Alliance is a chance for our tribe to grow strong.
Moreover, the Flame Alliance was established by Lord Xiao Yan himself. It's an honor for our Serpent Tribe to be part of it."An elder smiled, and most nodded in agreement.
Only a few tribal chiefs who had previously fought humans still wore frowns.
"Lord… some warriors in our tribe still harbor deep hatred toward humans."
"Hmm?"Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly.
"Tell them the benefits of joining the Flame Alliance. If they still insist on refusing, that's their choice—but if they take the benefits and secretly cause trouble, that will not be tolerated."At this, Xiao Yan's face finally revealed a hint of cold authority.
"This is an issue for the lower levels of your tribe. I believe you can handle it, right?"
Xiao Yan's cold laugh cut through the hall."Don't make me think your tribe's leadership are all slackers."
The remark sent a shiver through all the Serpent Tribe leaders.By now, they realized Xiao Yan not only had the power to elevate the tribe but also the strength to destroy it effortlessly.
"Heh, just joking. I believe handling such a minor matter won't be difficult for you, right?"Xiao Yan's smile returned.
"Yes… yes."The leaders nodded repeatedly and raised their cups in salute.
After the banquet ended, the four Supreme Elders signaled Hua She'er to escort Xiao Yan to the Queen's chambers. Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction and followed.
Once Xiao Yan left, the four Supreme Elders' faces hardened.
"You all understand what Lord Xiao Yan meant, right?"They looked down at the assembled tribal chiefs.
"Now that we've allied ourselves with him, we must do what needs to be done."The wisest elder spoke slowly:"From today onward, upon returning to your tribes, you must actively restore friendly relations with humans.
For those warriors who still harbor hatred, use incentives to win them over. I believe that with sufficient benefits, most will comply."
"But elder, what if some are obstinate?"A tribal chief asked.
"Obstinate?"The elder's cold smile sharpened."Anyone obstructing the rise of our tribe will simply be removed.
Change will always come with bloodshed, but compared to the future of our tribe, a few deaths are insignificant. If necessary, I would even sacrifice my life."
His words struck like a blade into the hearts of all present. The other three Supreme Elders shared the same resolute look.
Their purpose: make the Serpent Tribe flourish. Any obstacle must be eliminated.
"Yes, we understand."The leaders nodded.
After they left, the four Supreme Elders exchanged glances and vanished from the hall. Soon, they reappeared in the tribe's most secure prison, a place from which even Dou Wang-level warriors could barely escape.
"Mobas, one last time. Will you abandon your admiration for the Queen and obey Lord Xiao Yan?"An elder looked coldly at the chained Mobas.
"Impossible! I will never abandon the Queen!"Mobas' triangular eyes glared fiercely."As long as I draw breath, I will never submit to that damned human!"
Jealousy burned in his gaze.
The four Supreme Elders exchanged a glance and sighed.
"Mobas, you were once a proud warrior of our tribe, with many achievements."One elder stepped forward and unlocked Mobas' chains.
Mobas' eyes lit up."So… you agree with me?"
Pft!Before he could finish, a spike pierced his chest, spraying blood.
"You… you…"Mobas' eyes widened in disbelief, his voice weak.
"Your achievements will be recorded in the Serpent Tribe Hall of Fame. Your clan will be well cared for."The elder pulled the spike out, draining the last of Mobas' life with it.
"Yet, you remain stubborn… then we cannot show mercy."The elder's hand struck Mobas' forehead, destroying his vitality and soul entirely.
Afterward, the four Supreme Elders exchanged resolute glances.
"Any obstacle to the rise of the Serpent Tribe must be eliminated!"
"Lord Xiao Yan, this is the Queen's chamber."
