Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Sudden Change

"Si Mei, naturally, didn’t want to marry that young man from the Dark Elf Clan because she, because Si Mei already has someone she loves!" At this moment, Zi Ya’s eldest sister, Zi Lin, stepped forward and spoke to Shi Feng.

"Princess Zi Ya has someone she loves eh!"

"Little Zi Ya has grown up too!"

"Time really flies. She used to run around the territory as a little one, and in the blink of an eye, she has grown up."

One by one, members of the Snake-man Clan, after hearing Zi Lin’s words, sighed with emotion; most of the people here had watched the little girl grow up.

Hearing Zi Lin’s words, Shi Feng nodded and said, "Since Zi Ya is unwilling, then I will simply exterminate the entire Dark Elf Clan!" Shi Feng’s tone was filled with arrogance and domineering authority!

"Exterminate...the entire Dark Elf Clan!" someone exclaimed after hearing this, quickly realizing something was wrong as their exclamation waned. To speak of exterminating the Dark Elf Clan in this vast wilderness was a taboo.

The power of the Dark Elf Clan had long been entrenched in the hearts of all major tribes in the wilderness.

Arrogant! Domineering! Presumptuous! Always seeming overconfident, yet time and again making the impossible seem possible. Wherever this man went, chaos would ensue.

Among the Snake-man Clan, people began to link the information about this man from the Human Clan, known as the Mad Demon, with the man before them.

A male from the Snake-man Clan stepped forward, respectfully bowed with clasped fists to Shi Feng and asked, "May I inquire, Lord Shi Feng, did Elder Tian Dang of your Human Clan perish at your hand?"

As soon as the Snake-man Clan man’s words were out, a wave of gazes from the Snake-man Clan instantly converged on Shi Feng’s face, and for a moment, the entire Priest Hall of the Snake-man Clan turned utterly silent, so silent one could hear the tense, heavy breathing of the crowd.

Facing the gaze of every Snake-man Clan man and woman, Shi Feng slightly nodded and said, "That’s right, Tian Dang did not recognize what was good for him, and indeed, I exterminated him!" Shi Feng’s voice echoed in the silent Priest Hall.

"Hiss!" A sound of sharp intake of breath resounded in the crowd; "It’s him! It really is him! The Shi Feng of the Human Clan! The... the Mad Demon Shi Feng!"

Even though some had already guessed that this Shi Feng was that Shi Feng, his own admission now still shocked everyone.

"Perhaps..., the Dark Elf Clan might really..." someone muttered Shi Feng’s earlier words, but due to the longstanding fearsome reputation established by the Dark Elf Clan in the wilderness, they dared not finish the sentence.

"From now on, stop the operation of this Ancient Array. I don’t want to see my friend in trouble! Otherwise..."

Shi Feng, with his right hand forming a Sword Finger, pointed at the Six-Star Dark Ancient Array and spoke in a domineering, commanding tone; he did not continue his threat, out of consideration for Zi Ya, but everyone present knew clearly — Mad Demon Shi Feng was capable of anything! If he had extinguished sects, schools, and clans of his own Human Clan, how much more so for their Snake-man Clan.

"I, the Priestess, will now stop the operation of the Six-Star Dark Ancient Array!" The Priestess hurriedly said to Shi Feng. With the strength of this young man from the Human Clan and his famous feat of exterminating Four-Star Martial Venerable, Tian Dang, the Priestess harbored no doubts—if he wanted to exterminate the Snake-man Clan, could they even survive?

After that, the Priestess formed her hands in a Sealing gesture, her snake tail swaying as she walked towards the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array.

As the old Priestess entered, the dark glows of the Six-Star Dark Array, which originally emerged like smoke and drifted toward Princess Zi Ya, immediately became chaotic. The dark beams of light, previously gentle and slowly drifting, now chaotically fluttered within the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array, furiously twirling around.

"What... what is going on?" At that moment, members of the Snake-man Clan gradually noticed something wrong with the Six-Star Dark Ancient Array, their faces immediately turning pale.

The Priest within the Six-Star Dark Ancient Array was also shockingly horrified and exclaimed, "No! Something’s wrong with the Six-Star Dark Ancient Array!"

"Kekekekeke!"

"Kekekekeke!"

Suddenly, a series of sinister and bizarre laughs echoed within the ancient array, the sounds sharp and unpleasant, like steel grinding against steel. Immediately after, a thick black fog surged from the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array.

"This power!" Shi Feng’s face also drastically changed; he recognized the familiar aura emanating from the black fog. Then, his right finger began to tremble violently!

"Daemon!" Shi Feng uttered the word gravely. He hadn’t expected that such a creature would appear in the Territory of the Snake-man Clan!

"Ahh! It is said that in Ancient Times, our clan sealed a fragment of an Evil Demon, rumored to be sealed within this Dark Six-Star Ancient Array!" A member of the Snake-man Clan, recalling the ancient legend and seeing the anomaly in the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array, quickly spoke up.

"Could it be that by activating this Ancient Grand Array to awaken the Purple Snake power within Princess Zi Ya, we have accidentally released the legendary demon?" Another member of the Snake-man Clan said, his face turning pale with fear.

"Sister!" Seeing the abnormality in the Six-Star Dark Array, Zi Lin’s face immediately showed a mix of worry, anxiety, and panic. Her purple snake tail swished as she swiftly slithered toward the Dark Ancient Array.

But suddenly, Zi Lin’s movement halted; a large hand landed on her shoulder, stopping her progress. Zi Lin turned her head and saw the handsome yet stern face.

"Stay back!" Shi Feng told her. This Snake-man Clan woman, merely an Eight-star Martial King, could not help much by entering the array; under that Demonic Fog, she would only be going to her death.

At that moment, within the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array, the old Priestess emitted a dazzling deep blue light from her entire being, fighting against the demonic fog that surged within the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array. She had also already reached Princess Zi Ya’s side, placing one hand on top of her head. Princess Zi Ya’s body also flickered with brilliant deep blue light, resisting the assault of the demonic fog.

"Priest Lord!"

"Priest Lord!"

At this time, several members of the Snake-man Clan prepared to rush toward the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array to assist the old Priestess in suppressing the black demonic fog.

However, the old Priestess’s voice then echoed from the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array, "Don’t enter! If you come in, you’ll only add to the trouble!"

"But..." Hearing the words of the old Priestess, several members of the Snake-man Clan stopped moving forward, but their faces still filled with worry and hesitation.

At that moment, the Snake-man Clan woman, Zi Lin, displayed a pleading expression and desperately pleaded with Shi Feng, "Please, you are so powerful. I beg you to save the Priest and my sister. Actually, my sister’s beloved is you!"

"What?"
