The black bear spirit, who had never seen such a display before, was thrown into a panic, covering its head and dodging the falling hailstones.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Snake King launched an attack, striking the new Bear King, Xiong Wu, causing him serious injury.

The black bear spirits were in chaos. They wanted to launch an attack on the snake king in the air, but they couldn't organize themselves effectively under the hail. Moreover, their new bear king had already been severely injured.

Seeing this, the Snake King used a secret technique of the Spirit Snake Clan, instantly traveling thousands of miles away from the Black Bear Spirit's territory and fleeing towards the direction of the Thousand Forest.

"Catch him, kill him..." The new Bear King, Xiong Wu, roared angrily, and the black bear demons behind him swarmed forward.

While the black bear demons were chasing after the snake king, Xiong Zhuang, who was behind them, did not follow. Instead, he came up to the heavily injured new bear king, Xiong Wu, and said coldly, "How does it feel to be the bear king?"

When the new Bear King saw that there was only a little bear spirit beside him, he realized something was wrong and became frightened. He tried to summon his subordinates back, but it was too late.

Xiong Zhuang approached the new Bear King and used his most exquisite magic to kill the Black Bear King.

"Hahaha, I am now the Black Bear King!" Xiong Zhuang said, declaring that he was about to become the most noble king of the black bear clan.

The other little bear spirits dared not act rashly. Seeing that the bear king was dead, they quickly came over to submit.

The Snake King was very fast, and after flying across the boundary in the center of the forest, he could finally relax.

Hearing the commotion, the spirit serpent guarding the border assumed that the black bear demon had attacked again. Before it could even figure out what was going on, it began to blow its horn and prepare for battle.

But when they saw the golden, almost fully grown spirit serpent appearing before them, they were overjoyed. Only their once invincible spirit serpent prince could possess such a figure and imposing presence.

"Are you a prince?" the low-ranking spirit snake below asked cautiously.

"I only fought with Xiong Ben, and you don't recognize me anymore?" said the Snake King. "Alright, Xiong Ben is dead. I'm back. Line up and resist the Black Bear Demon's invasion!"

"Yes, Prince." The henchmen below were very excited. Their prince was indeed invincible. They all thought that the prince had perished along with the Black Bear King, but the prince had returned. They would no longer be bullied by the Black Bear Demon.

The Serpent Clan was ready, and the Black Bear Spirit caught up, leading to a chaotic battle between the two sides.

However, the Black Bear Spirit's attack was not fierce because it lacked the leadership of the Bear King. On the contrary, the Spirit Serpent Clan was extremely excited because of the appearance of the Serpent King. Moreover, the Serpent King could deal with the Black Bear Spirit, who had profound magical power, so the Spirit Serpent Clan was in a superior position.

The Black Bear Spirit suffered repeated defeats, while the Serpent Clan pressed forward relentlessly.

They were almost driving the Black Bear Demon out of the forest. Unable to defeat the Snake King, they had no choice but to return with their minions. The Serpent Clan dared not approach the Black Bear Demon's territory again, and could only hunt prey in the Black Bear Demon's forest to take back.

When the black bear spirits returned, they found Xiong Wu dead, and Xiong Zhuang had become the bear king.

Xiong Zhuang's title of Bear King was self-proclaimed, and others were not convinced. Thus, internal strife broke out among the Black Bear Spirits as they fought for the position of Bear King, which depleted their internal strength.

Upon learning of their situation, the Snake King sighed inwardly, "Humans are truly remarkable; they can even come up with such ideas. This trip to the human realm wasn't in vain. Not only did I improve my skills, but I also learned about human deceit and treachery."

At the same time, he also came to appreciate human kindness and gentleness.

The Snake King admitted that he had thought of He Tiantian again.

Alas, we were destined to meet but not to be together!

After setting up the border defenses here, the Snake King returned to Spirit Snake Island.

They encountered the Serpent King, who had come to their aid, at sea, along with his good-for-nothing sisters and brothers.

"Father!" The Serpent King descended from the sky and landed on the Spirit Serpent Ship.

"Huh?" The Serpent King was taken aback, but seeing his son return safely, he was deeply shocked. In his mind, his son had perished in that great battle along with the Black Bear Spirit Xiong Ben.

"I am Li Xian," said the Snake King. "I am not dead, I have returned."

"Son, you are my son." The Serpent King exclaimed excitedly, "You're finally back, so I don't have to go into battle anymore."

Upon hearing this, the Snake King was so angry that he jumped up and down. When he returned home, his father didn't welcome him or show any concern; instead, he immediately ordered him to fight.

However, thinking about the family, my sisters only know how to dress up and are not good at martial arts. There is only one old father to support the family, which is indeed a bit difficult.

As for her mother.

They're either pregnant, laying eggs, incubating them, or raising their young.

"The Black Bear Demon clan has been defeated by me," said the Snake King. "They're in chaos right now. The spoils will be delivered later. Let's go back."

"Brother, brother, younger brother, younger brother..." Several older sisters, younger sisters, and younger brothers squeezed past their old father and ran to the Snake King. It was good that Li Xian had come; they wouldn't have to go to the battlefield and get their clothes and shoes dirty.

"Alright, let's go back and talk about it later," said the Snake King. "Father, don't cry. I see that we're currently in a truce with the Black Bear Spirit, so we haven't suffered any losses, have we?"

The Serpent King led his son into the cabin and said, "We haven't suffered a major loss, but we've suffered quite a lot. Because every battle is so exhausting, I haven't had time to cultivate. Because of your disappearance, the relationship between the Red Serpent Clan and our clan has become somewhat delicate. They are unwilling to contribute, perhaps unwilling to contribute for me. They probably think I will die on the battlefield soon, and that your brothers and sisters are not capable enough to be the Serpent King. They are preparing to build a good relationship with the next Serpent King."

The Snake King had anticipated that his father would be under a lot of pressure after he left, but he didn't expect the situation to be so severe. It seems he will have to take good care of his good-for-nothing younger siblings from now on.

"The Crimson Spirit Serpent clan has gone too far," the Serpent King said. "If it weren't for our protection of the Crimson Spirit Serpents all these years, how could they have lived in peace!"

The Red Spirit Serpent clan is not good at fighting, but they are skilled in medicine and have a high fertility rate, so they have always intermarried with the Spirit Serpent clan.

"Sigh!" The Serpent King smiled wryly. "Don't be angry. It's only human nature. It's no big deal. If I were the chief of the Red Serpent Clan, I would have done the same."

"Father, I'm back. I will definitely teach my younger siblings well and encourage them to learn skills diligently," said the Snake King. "Father, you can now go into seclusion and cultivate."

"Hmm, very good." The Serpent King was very pleased. "Ever since you disappeared, your mother has been constantly in tears, and her health has deteriorated. This time, there are only five eggs!"

Upon hearing this, the Snake King's lips twitched.

Sigh, even in sadness and grief, they still manage to lay eggs.

I won't say anymore. It's good that Father and Mother have a good relationship; at least I don't have to worry about them breaking up.

The Snake King could only console himself at this point.
