Chapter 31: Chaos Spring

“Hahaha! Tantai Xuan, do you think you can intimidate us with just the two of you?”

The Earth Demon King roared with laughter.

Demonic energy surged around his body, forming a massive demonic phantom.

“This Chaos Spring doesn’t belong to your Tantai Family. What right do you have to tell us to leave?”

The Scorpion King and the Shadow King also released their auras at the same time, forming a three-way standoff with the Earth Demon King.

They clearly had no intention of backing down.

“Since you won’t leave, then enough talk. Let our strength do the talking,” Tantai Xuan’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

Purple light erupted around her, and the purple longsword that had accompanied her for years instantly unsheathed, its chime echoing through the valley.

Lan Suxin also took out a blue jade flute.

Once the flute music started, the surrounding water vapor instantly condensed into ice-blue blades.

“As if I’m afraid of you! Scorpion King, I’ll leave this snake-woman slut to you!”

The Earth Demon King bellowed.

He raised a massive axe to meet Tantai Xuan, while the Shadow King turned into a trail of black smoke and lunged toward Lan Suxin.

The Scorpion King grinned maliciously, the poisonous hook on his scorpion tail shimmering with an eerie green light as he attacked the Snake-person Queen once again.

She was already at the end of her rope.

Energy collisions occurred incessantly in the valley, creating a deafening roar.

Tantai Qing protected Su Chun and the other three, retreating to a distance while keeping a close eye on the battlefield.

She knew her mission wasn’t to fight, but to seize the right moment to send Su Chun into the Chaos Spring.

“Sister, what should we do?”

Luo Yu nervously gripped her Flame Moon Sword, her eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

Besides the three tribal leaders, the three tribes had eight Sendai Realm cultivators besieging the few Sendai cultivators of the Snake-People Tribe.

There were even dozens of cultivators in the Shenxiao Realm.

“Wait,” Tantai Qing replied.

“Mother and Mom will create an opportunity for us. We just need to protect Chun’er and rush over at the most suitable moment.”

Although Tantai Qing appeared to have a bit of a sister complex and a mother complex, once she became serious, she seemed like a completely different person.

Su Chun tightly gripped the Divine Pen of Creation, her palms covered in sweat.

She watched the fierce battle in the field, her heart thumping wildly.

Tantai Xuan held the upper hand against the Earth Demon King but found it difficult to achieve a quick victory.

Lan Suxin and the Shadow King were locked in a stalemate, their cold air and shadow energy constantly clashing.

The Snake-person Queen was at the end of her strength, supporting herself solely through sheer willpower as the wounds on her body continued to increase.

“This won’t do. If this continues, the Snake-person Queen won’t be able to hold on. Once she falls, Mother and Mom will face a siege from three experts in the Severing Me Realm,” Luo Li said anxiously.

Sure enough, the Scorpion King seized an opening and viciously stabbed his poisonous hook toward the Snake-person Queen’s chest.

She screamed and was sent flying, crashing heavily against the stone wall next to the Chaos Spring.

She coughed up blood, her breath faint.

“Queen!”

The other Sendai Realm experts of the Snake-People Tribe panicked when they saw their queen severely injured.

In their panic, they naturally lost their composure.

“Hahaha! The Chaos Spring is ours!”

The Scorpion King was ecstatic and was about to rush toward the spatial crack.

“Don’t even think about it!”

Seeing this, a look of determination flashed in Tantai Xuan’s eyes.

Disregarding the Earth Demon King’s attack, she forcibly activated a secret technique.

Her purple aura surged as she forced the Earth Demon King back with a sword strike.

Simultaneously, she flicked her finger, sending a streak of purple light toward the Scorpion King.

*Pfft!*

The purple light hit the Scorpion King square in the back.

He cried out and stumbled forward a few steps.

Although not seriously injured, he was in a bad state.

“Now is the time!”

Tantai Qing’s eyes gleamed as she grabbed Su Chun’s hand.

She shouted to Luo Li and Luo Yu, “Protect Chun’er and Wang Xi well!”

The members of the three tribes who could spare themselves immediately moved to intercept Tantai Qing and the others.

Luo Li and Luo Yu crushed two jade plates without hesitation.

After the jade plates shattered, two powers no weaker than the Severing Me Realm soared into the sky.

Then, two phantoms of middle-aged men appeared before Su Chun and the others.

The cultivators of the Shenxiao Realm were instantly blasted away by these two forces.

“Father, Second Uncle, please protect us.”

These were the Divine Soul jade plates belonging to Su Chun’s father-in-law and his brother.

They possessed at least the strength of the Sendai Realm Level 2 and could be maintained for a while.

“Understood. Go ahead; leave them to us.”

Tantai Qing then led Su Chun and the other three, rushing toward the Chaos Spring like arrows released from a bow.

Her cultivation at Sendai Realm Level 1 erupted fully.

Not only that, a green bell appeared above her head.

The sound of the bell spread in all directions.

Even Level 1 Sendai Realm cultivators felt a splitting headache and were unable to focus.

This was the protective treasure given to Tantai Qing by the Feng Clan, the Soul-Shaking Bell.

“Stop them! We can’t let them enter the Chaos Spring!”

The Earth Demon King roared.

He wanted to turn back and stop them but was pinned down by Tantai Xuan.

The Shadow King and the Scorpion King also reacted, their eyes flashing with shock and anger as they tried to pursue.

However, in the next moment, a purple silk ribbon flew out from Tantai Xuan, binding the two of them.

“Your opponents are us.”

Lan Suxin intensified the flute music to suppress the three of them.

The Snake-person Queen also struggled to her feet and slapped her own chest forcefully.

Finally, she emitted an extremely ear-piercing sound in all directions.

This sound was targeted at the enemies, and at that moment, all the enemies were stunned.

“You four, get in quickly!”

Under Tantai Qing’s escort, Su Chun and the other three finally reached the entrance of the Chaos Spring.

It was a spatial crack about ten feet wide.

Inside the crack was a misty pool that emitted a heart-pounding chaotic aura and dense life energy.

The four women plunged inside.

Only after seeing them enter did Tantai Qing breathe a sigh of relief.

Tantai Xuan and the others no longer needed to be distracted by Su Chun and the girls.

“Damn it! Medusa, you slut! You wait. Since you ruined the business of our three tribes today, sooner or later, your Snake-People Tribe will pay the price!”

The Earth Demon King seemed to sense something.

After cursing at the Snake-person Queen, he forcibly broke free from Tantai Xuan’s restraint and let out a roar.

“Retreat!”

The experts of the other two tribes also fled with their people immediately.

Not long after they fled, several figures descended from the sky and arrived at the entrance of the Chaos Spring.

The reinforcements summoned by Tantai Xuan had arrived; these were cultivators from allied families and in-law powers near this area.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the three tribes to retreat so easily.

“Family Head Tantai, apologies for being late. What is the situation?”

Tantai Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as she saw them arrive.

“Thank you all. If you hadn’t arrived in time, the Snake-People Tribe and we might not have been able to hold them off for much longer.”

After saying that, Tantai Xuan hurriedly went to the Snake-person Queen.

At this moment, Medusa was incredibly weak.

“Cousin Xuan, my Snake-People Tribe has paid a heavy price this time,” the Snake-person Queen said with a bitter smile.

“Don’t talk anymore. The Tantai Family will remember the Snake-People Tribe’s kindness.”

After finishing her sentence, Tantai Xuan took out a purple medicinal pill, stuffed it into the Snake-person Queen’s mouth, and then injected her own power to heal her.

Lan Suxin and Tantai Qing also hurried to treat the other injured snake-people.

As for the reinforcements that arrived, they stood guard around the area to prevent cultivators from other factions from causing trouble.

—

As for Su Chun, as soon as she entered the spatial crack, she felt her head spin as if she had passed through a layer of water. In the next moment, she fell into a warm pool.

*Cough! Cough!*

She choked on a few mouthfuls of water and hurriedly surfaced, only to find herself in a strange space.

There was no sky or ground here.

There was only endless chaotic mist, and beneath her feet was purple-gold pool water that emitted a refreshing aura.

“Husband, Husband, are you all right?”

Luo Li and Luo Yu also surfaced one after another and quickly swam to Su Chun’s side to check if she was injured.

Wang Xi also floated up afterward, looking around curiously and warily.
