Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Territory of the Snake-man Clan

"Rise, all of you!" Shi Feng said indifferently as he looked down at the golden-armored guards kneeling around the altar.

"Thank you, Lord War God!" The golden-armored guards responded in unison upon hearing Shi Feng’s words. Immediately, rows of soldiers stood up from the ground, their faces both imposing and solemn, gazing at the War God on the altar as if waiting for his inspection.

"Deliver my command. Notify those in the Imperial Palace to come out personally to receive these Alchemy Masters. Ensure they are well taken care of. There must be no mistakes!" Shi Feng said to the golden-armored guards.

"By the War God’s order!" A leader among the golden-armored guards stepped forward, clenching his fist in salute and spoke with a respectful voice.

Afterward, Shi Feng turned his head to speak to Qin Yuan, "Old Qin, I must trouble you then. You’ve just opened the altar, and I suppose you’re also tired. You should go to the Imperial Palace and rest well. If you need anything, just command those in the palace. Once your strength has recovered, help me activate this Transmission Array."

"Of course, Lord Shi Feng, once we have rested, I will certainly lead them here at the earliest to activate it. Please rest assured," Qin Yuan said with full respect. After the bustle of the previous day, they were indeed tired. To activate this Transmission Array right now was indeed beyond their current strength.

Shi Feng nodded and said, "Then I’ll leave that to you. I indeed have important matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now."

"Lord Shi Feng, take care!"

Before Qin Yuan’s words had finished, Shi Feng’s figure moved, breaking through the void. The golden-armored guards looked up into the sky, watching the legendary War God ascend through the void, departing like a divine spirit, gradually disappearing from their sight.

Even some guards secretly prayed to the departing War God, hoping that he would bless them with a beautiful wife this year and a child the next.

...

After breaking through the void, Shi Feng traveled rapidly towards the Northwest. With his current Space-breaking speed, it would take about half a day in the void to reach the Western Wasteland City of the Northwest. From there, entering the Northwest Desert and then to the Territory of the Snake-man Clan would take about another half day.

The total journey to the destination would require a day’s worth of travel.

As his figure rapidly broke through the void, the mountains and rivers below, the emerging cities, swiftly receded in his field of vision. This Yunlai Empire, where he had been reborn, where numerous stories had unfolded, where he had experienced joy, anger, grief, and delight, was also the place where he had narrowly escaped death several times.

He had once been hunted by various powers, fleeing and hiding everywhere, embarking on a difficult struggle for survival, ultimately escaping to the Northwest.

Thinking of these things, Shi Feng couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

Looking back on his life, it had indeed been filled with remarkable events.

Half a day passed quickly, and now the sky was filled with howling winds and clouds of dust – clearly, Shi Feng had arrived in the Northwest, where the climate was often harsh. A familiar frontier city, the Western Wasteland City, was gradually coming into view for Shi Feng.

Faced with the severe weather, Shi Feng did not hesitate. His figure moved and flew across the sky above Western Wasteland City, instantly plunging into the skies above the Desert of the North.

These furious winds and sandstorms had no effect on Shi Feng anymore. His body shimmered with ghostly white light, protected by the Nine Nether Power. The violent winds and sand particles dispersed into nothingness before they could even come close to him.

This desert had left Shi Feng with many memories. It was here, in this boundless desert, where he had encountered the simple yet beautiful Snake-man Clan Girl, Zi Ya.

It was also in this desert where he had executed the Holy Maiden of the Floating Void Sect, Feng Xinyan, followed by the Sect Master Feng Qianyu, killed Lei Gang, eradicated Xue Tu, and completely destroyed the Sect Power, making his name echo throughout the entire Yunlai Empire.

"Hmm?" Amidst the violent sandstorm, Shi Feng saw a figure suspended in the distance. Amidst the sky full of yellow sand, it appeared intermittently.

The figure seemed to be a man, handsome in a chiseled way, with no clothes obscuring his body, completely naked. His skin was dark purple, with an enchantingly purplish pattern on his chest.

There was a mysterious aura emanating from the man.

"A mysterious race in the desert?" Shi Feng thought to himself. He had never seen such a race before.

The man had his eyes closed as if he were cultivating some Cultivation Technique. Since Shi Feng didn’t sense any hostility from the man, he didn’t pay further attention. On the Tianheng Continent, aside from human crowds, other races were numerous as well.

Such as the Snake-man Race, the Lizard Tribe, the disgusting Rat-man Clan he had once seen, the Beastmen Clan, the Demon Race, and so on. Like in the Ancient Times, the Blood Pattern Tribe and the Evil Eye Clan, which had an unclear relation to him now, as well as the Giant Clan.

The Demon Race evolved from high-order demon beasts. Once a demon beast reached the Sixth-stage Sect Level, it could transform into human shape, and after transforming, they self-proclaimed as the Demon Race.

However, on the Tianheng Continent today, the Human Clan was flourishing. The Human Clan was the ruler of this world.

As Shi Feng was rapidly making his way through the whistling sands, suddenly, the eyes of the dark purple-skinned young man shot open—sharp, piercing straight towards Shi Feng, locking eyes with him.

"Human Clan? A powerful human!" The dark purple man looked at Shi Feng and murmured softly. However, after observing Shi Feng for a while and finding no killing intent on him, he slowly closed his eyes again and continued the cultivation he had started.

Shortly after, Shi Feng’s figure shot past the man and headed towards the distant reaches of the desert.

After Shi Feng had left for a while, the closed-eyed man once again opened his eyes, turned around, and looked in the direction Shi Feng had departed, murmuring again: "This powerful human hasn’t appeared in this desert for a long time. I wonder what brings him here?"

..

Entering the Desert of the North, Shi Feng, guided by memory, continued to break space rapidly towards the Territory of the Snake-man Clan. In a flash, half a day had passed, and a small city constructed of stone gradually came into view.

"This must be it!" Looking at the stone-constructed city, Shi Feng thought to himself. Although he had never been to the Territory of the Snake-man Clan, Zi Ya had pointed him in the direction of their territory when he returned her. According to Zi Ya’s indication, this should be the place.

"Human Clan! Why have you come to the Territory of the Snake-man Clan!" Just then, an unfriendly roar echoed from the small city. A giant winged sand scorpion flew out from the city, with five Snake-men holding long spears standing on its back. Among the five, three men and two women, the men were handsome with bare chests revealing solid muscles. The women were beautiful with fiery figures, wearing extremely provocative clothes—a thin fabric barely covering the two towering peaks, as if they would burst open at any moment.

Nevertheless, all five Snake-men looked at Shi Feng with malice, bristling with killing intent!
