944 Look Into My Eyes! (1/2)

”Awesome, my foot! Where did a giant snake like you come from? Don't tell me that you're the Serpent Orochi from R Nation?” Xu Que turned around and glared at the eight-headed snake.

The eight-headed giant snake stopped for a second before shaking its eight heads, ”No, I am the Nine-Headed Snake, or as some would call me, the Nine-Headed Berserk Dragon. I have been here ever since I lost a head. Maybe that's why the legends have gotten passed down wrong.”

”You? The Nine-Headed Berserk Dragon? Hear this. My mount's an Ancient Magic Dragon!” Xu Que laughed coldly.

The eight-headed snake was shocked. An Ancient Magic Dragon as his mount? Was this fellow this powerful?

”I advise you to stay put and don't move. Otherwise, you might find yourself dropping a few more heads. Don't blame me if you find yourself looking like the kid with only three strands of hair in Wanderings of San Mao!” Xu Que chuckled as he lightly tapped the blade of the sword in his hand.

Thunk!

The eight-headed snake trembled with the metallic vibrato. It quickly replied, ”Rest assured, Revered Immortal. I will not move an inch!”

Xu Que finally nodded his head. He put on a pompous act and spoke like an old but arrogant man, ”Eh, not too bad of a performance. Now tell me where my friends are and let them out now.”

”Revered Immortal, this...I'm not sure either! Such a peculiar place this is, and I was not the one who laid down this illusory spell. Everything was under the control of that Master!” said the eight-headed snake who seemed to be in a fix. It stared wistfully at the white-clad lady lying on the ground.

”You mean her? She controls nothing! I'm telling you that I'm now the one in charge!” Xu Que snorted and waved his hand. An overwhelming Taoist Connotation gushed out of his hands and suddenly attacked the white-clad woman.

Swoosh!

The next moment, the Taoist Connotation transformed into shackles and tied the white-clad woman up. Those shackles restricted the circulation of True Core Strength within her.

Tsk! The eight-headed snake stuck out its forked tongue and drew a sharp intake of breath, shocked, ”Revered Immortal, I didn't know that you liked this sort of bondage!”

”Bondage, your ass! Why do you seem so weird? One look and I know you're an indecent snake. Are you sure that you're not from the R Nation?” Xu Que questioned.

The eight-headed snake quickly replied, ”Revered Immortal, I'm genuinely not from the R Nation! My previous territory was on an island called the Ying Continent. It was also called Fuso!”

”Don't play word games with me! That's freaking R Nation!” shouted an angry Xu Que.

The name of Ancient R Nation was called Dongying. According to legend, it was given the name Fuso as people had mistakenly believed that the Sun Tree grew on that island. Others told the story of the R Nation being the Immortal Island of Penglai, although it remained a rumor.

”Ah? My Fuso became the R Nation? Who...who changed its name? How dare they!” The furious eight-headed snake was stunned.

Xu Que looked at him with no words, then shook his head. It seems like this fellow was trapped for too long. It knew nothing about the outside world.

”Come on, let's talk about the serious stuff! What is the background of this woman, and where is her real body? If I'm not wrong, this place should be an ancient site of a Sect. Where have the people gone?” Xu Que walked toward the eight-headed snake and asked while patting its heads.

The eight-headed snake shivered. ”Revered Immortal, please, you have to uphold justice for me! This place once belonged to the Kunlun Celestial Sect, and that woman was the Master of Kunlun, in charge of the entire sect. An Elder of Kunlun ambushed me and made me the Mountain Guardian Beast. As tough-minded as I am, it's only natural that I fought back and defied him till the end! And so he locked me up ever since until something big happened.”

”Tell me about it.” Xu Que raised his eyebrows. He guessed that the snake might reveal the reason for the mass migration of sects back then.

However, the eight-headed snake merely shook its head and answered, ”I don't know what happened either. The only thing I know was that the Master of this area opened the gate to the so-called Road of Heavenly Attainment. Many sects uprooted themselves and migrated there. However, right before they left, the Master of Kunlun laid down a spell to seal this place, leaving nothing but a Shadow Replica to guard the gate. They promised to release me after 5 million years, but now, only 1million darned years have passed.”
