Chapter 442: Chapter 229: Power Upgrade and Counterkill

"Not good, something’s happened to Third Brother!"

"Get in quickly!"

The middle-aged man and his young companion guarding the prison gate heard the screams from inside. Both extended their spiritual sense into the prison and charged forward immediately.

Han Dong’s body was rigid.

She turned her neck to look at her shoulder.

She found a little cyan snake, slender like a chopstick, perched on her shoulder, swaying its head.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Suddenly, two sharp objects shot in from the outside.

A golden needle.

A flying saber.

"Ha!"

The little cyan snake opened its mouth and blew a breath of cold air forward.

The golden needle and flying saber froze in the air.

After that, two figures appeared, their faces covered in frost and terror.

"Cyan Snake Demon."

The middle-aged man recognized the little cyan snake and immediately turned to leave.

The little cyan snake transformed into a green light, swiftly circled around them, and their bodies turned into ice sculptures before collapsing into pieces of ice with a crash.

"Whoosh!"

The little cyan snake returned to Han Dong’s shoulder, sticking out its forked tongue at Han Dong.

"...Are you helping me?"

Han Dong asked in disbelief.

"Young lady, I’ll be looking after you from now on."

The little cyan snake left these words in the air.

"Were you sent by someone else, right?"

Han Dong couldn’t believe her luck and immediately thought of Jiang Feng.

"Whoosh!"

The little cyan snake did not respond but darted out of Zhenbei Prison.

"Ah, Cyan Snake Demon!"

"Demon Cold Qi!"

"Retreat quickly!"

"There’s a Cyan Snake Demon hiding in Zhenbei Prison."

Chaos erupted outside.

The loose cultivators near Zhenbei Prison, intending to capture Han Dong to threaten Jiang Feng, were relentlessly attacked by the little cyan snake. In a short time, more than a dozen loose cultivators were killed.

A surge of Demon Cold Power surrounded the prison, deterring cultivators from approaching easily.

"The Dragon Bone Bow belongs to our Cyan Snake Demon clan!"

The little cyan snake left this message above Zhenbei Prison, then darted back inside. The words lingered in the sky for a long time before disappearing.

Everyone exchanged bewildered looks upon seeing this.

From everyone’s understanding, the Cyan Snake Demon clan had their sights on Jiang Feng, intending to use Han Dong to force him to appear.

The news reached the Imperial City.

The Emperor and Divine Sect members learned about the incident.

Li Yang’s face was impassive as he conveyed a message to the Divine Sect, mentioning that Jiang Feng had, with the help of the Cyan Snake Demon clan, once entered the martial arts academy’s Treasure Vault to steal Spirit Stones.

"Unbelievable, the Cyan Snake King is deliberately opposing our Divine Sect. Saintess, let me take people into the passage and annihilate the Cyan Snake Demon clan!"

Guo Xin was filled with righteous indignation.

They were all waiting to see a good show, to see if Jiang Feng would appear when Han Dong fell into the hands of the loose cultivators. Who knew the Cyan Snake Demon would appear, slaughtering all the loose cultivators inside Zhenbei Prison and scaring away those surrounding the prison.

Causing the entire plan to fail.

"Who among you is confident enough to deal with the Cyan Snake King?"

The Saintess questioned.

Guo Xin was at a loss for words.

"Saintess, the Cyan Snake King is currently in the Emperor’s quarters."

A Divine Sect disciple came to report.

"Dragon Capital is the Li Family’s domain, order everyone to behave and do not offend the Li Family."

The Saintess commanded.

"Yes."

Guo Xin and others complied helplessly.

"The Elder wants to take Han Dong as a disciple?"

"I recall that the cultivation of the Demon Race and the Human Race does not align."

Li Yang was incredulous.

The Cyan Snake Demon had entered the palace to see him, intending to take Han Dong as a disciple.

"Your Majesty need not worry, our Cyan Snake Demon clan has passed down for thousands of years. We have no shortage of Human Race cultivation techniques."

The Cyan Snake King explained.

"Han Dong has made great contributions to the Great Tang, I have always admired her. If the Elder truly wants to take her as a disciple, it is her good fortune."

Li Yang considered and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting my wish."

The Cyan Snake King bowed.

Li Yang nodded slightly, watching as the Cyan Snake King departed.

"Your Majesty, this old fox is clearly trying to oppose us."

After the Cyan Snake King left, a man in a black magic robe appeared in Li Yang’s quarters, gritting his teeth at the Cyan Snake King’s actions.

"It’s just Han Dong, let him be, as long as it doesn’t disrupt my plans, the Cyan Snake Demon clan can fight the Divine Sect all they want."

Li Yang spoke calmly.

As if he didn’t care.

"I’m just worried that the old coot will make things bigger and it will eventually become uncontrollable."

The man in the magic robe said worriedly.

"You’re overthinking it, Dharma King. In Dragon Capital, no matter how big the problem, I can handle it."

Li Yang smiled.

"Long live Your Majesty."

The man in the magic robe bowed deeply.

Then his figure gradually faded, as if he had left Li Yang’s quarters or hidden in the shadows.

Jiang Feng stayed at the Black Market until dawn.

The next day he returned to Black Alley to rest.

The events inside Zhenbei Prison last night quickly spread among the cultivators.

No one expected the Cyan Snake Demon clan to intervene in this matter. It seemed the temptation of the Dragon Bone Bow was indeed great, and soon people learned Han Dong was taken under the Cyan Snake King’s wing.

Henceforth, anyone who dared to target Han Dong would be an enemy of the Cyan Snake Demon clan.

The news left everyone puzzled about the Cyan Snake Demon clan’s intentions.

When Jiang Feng went to the Black Market, he was also surprised to hear that Han Dong was taken under the Cyan Snake King’s wing, not understanding what the Cyan Snake King was planning.

The appearance of the little cyan snake at Zhenbei Prison to repel the loose cultivators was indeed at Jiang Feng’s behest.

The deal was that Jiang Feng’s Dragon Bone Bow would never be aimed at the Cyan Snake Demon clan. However, Jiang Feng hadn’t expected that the Cyan Snake King would take Han Dong as a disciple.

Was this to bind Han Dong tightly to avoid conflict between them, or was there another intention?

Jiang Feng couldn’t figure it out.
