Deep in the narrow valley.

To Shen Qian's surprise, the chieftain of the Yuezhi tribe lived in a simple enclosed courtyard, in a house made of wood and mud, which could even be described as rudimentary.

When Yuejun, who had been looking at Shenqian with a complicated gaze and seemed hesitant to speak, brought him here, Dayuezhi was already standing quietly in the courtyard.

The dim yellow sunset cast its light on her hunched figure, and in a daze, Shen Qian felt that she had been waiting for him here for a long time.

Tsukishima was waiting outside the door, and Shinobu went in alone.

"You'll only completely enrage Qi Shen by doing this."

The Yuezhi heard the footsteps, sighed, and turned to face Chen Qian.

Shen Qian thought to himself, "As expected, others may not be able to tell, but the fact that the so-called 'Snake God' is actually me in disguise certainly cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Yuezhi."

Although thousands or tens of thousands of years may have passed, they were still human before they sank.

He couldn't bear to watch the Qi God run rampant in human territory, even devouring several children.

However, given his strength at the time, unless he directly over-consumed the system's energy, he could not possibly be a match for Qi Shen.

Recalling his previous speculations about the strength of the three gods of Mangshan, and with some information revealed in the few words of the Qi God, Shen Qian had a sudden inspiration. He climbed up the mountain through the tunnel and, using the language of snakes, combined with a shot from the "Sun Shooting" sniper rifle thousands of meters away, successfully startled the Qi God.

Shen Qian's guess was correct. As the original deity of Python Mountain, the Snake God must have been the most powerful among them in his lifetime. Just the slightest trace of him was enough to make Qi Shen a frightened bird, even though that shot did not actually cause Qi Shen much damage.

But Shen Qian also understood why the Yuezhi were saying this at this time.

Qi Shen is, after all, a top-tier expert. The other party might not be able to tell in the rush, but once the other party realizes what's going on, he will definitely understand that he has been tricked and that the Snake God has not been revived at all.

Upon closer examination, there are far too many flaws in it.

Once the enemy realizes what's happening, it's almost certain that Qi Shen will return in a fit of rage, and the Yuezhi will suffer the most devastating consequences.

"Why not take a gamble rather than face a slow death?"

Shen Qian asked some questions that had been hidden in his heart, "It's hard to say about others in this clan, but do you really have no power to fight against that Qi God?"

The turbidity in Dayuezhi's eyes briefly subsided, and he glanced at Shen Qian in surprise.

Shen Qian's eyes were shining brightly at this moment.

Thanks to the soup from the Yuezhi, Shen Qian recovered more than 30% of his mental strength.

It was around that time that Shen Qian sensed something was amiss. Even he couldn't easily refine pills of this caliber, which could only mean that the Yuezhi were hiding something extremely well.

Upon seeing him again, Chen Qian, having regained his spiritual power, immediately sensed the immense spiritual power hidden within the Yuezhi's body, a power that could be described as surging waves.

Perhaps her physical body is indeed weak, but with her powerful spiritual strength alone, she is enough to be called a strong person among the mountains and seas.

Based on my initial impressions, perhaps my fifth senior brother Ling Xiao's spiritual power was only at this level.

"A great battle, we may win, we may lose, we may live, we may die."

The Yuezhi quickly regained his composure and laughed, "But the Yuezhi clan will be destroyed in an instant, and more than eight hundred years of heritage will be destroyed in an instant. What meaning does that have for me?"

He fell silent, a complex feeling suddenly welling up inside him.

The Yuezhi before her, setting aside her status as the clan leader, was clearly a top-tier powerhouse capable of standing tall in the world on her own merits.

Her alchemy skills alone were absolutely masterful, and Shen Qian was certain that even in ancient times, she would have been a guest of honor for countless powerful figures.

But she could easily abandon all dignity and bow her head to another monster who claimed to be a god but whose strength was not necessarily much higher than hers, submitting to him.

Who can conquer mountains and seas with ease?

Yet she commands respect.

She did have her own "way," but perhaps her "way" was already closely linked to the Yuezhi clan.

"But now there's no difference, is there?"

Shen Qian tried to persuade her, "Qi Shen will surely be angry. If you are willing to join forces with me, what's wrong with killing a god?"

Kill gods!

These two words, which would have caused a stir in ancient times, were uttered so lightly from Shen Qian's mouth, but the Yuezhi did not seem to be very surprised.

"Yes, there might be no difference."

The Yuezhi nodded and then shook his head, his gaze becoming distant. "Young man, can you promise me one thing?"

"Please speak," Shen Qian nodded.

"Moon Falcon does not belong to Python Mountain. After this matter is settled, please take her to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, where she will find her place."

"good."

Although it was a bit strange, Shen Qian was going to the battlefield of ten thousand races anyway, so he immediately nodded in agreement, "So you agree to join forces with me?"

"The god of fate cannot be escaped. Perhaps... it is a kind of inheritance in another sense. However, no one will remember the Yue clan of Mangshan anymore."

The Yuezhi still didn't answer, but just murmured.

"What are you saying?" Shen Qian frowned.

"A long time ago, when I was a young girl, I met someone, a... very strange person."

The Yuezhi seemed lost in some kind of memory and spoke.

Shen Qian didn't know why the other person suddenly started telling a story, but he still listened patiently.

"He was dressed in spotless white clothes and came alone to the depths of the mountains, where he found the isolated Yuezhi tribe."
