"Damn the Black Tooth family!" Martin cursed under his breath, then ordered his subordinates, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly and find out what the Black Tooth family is up to!"

A gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged, and he'll take this opportunity to vent his anger.

Meanwhile, Zu'an and his group had already safely departed. Yu Yanluo looked back and said, "Do you think the Golden Crow Guard will find out about us? After all, many people in Biyuan saw us clashing with Heichi Gu and Banka."

Zuan comforted him, "What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, the ashes have been scattered, and there are no eyewitnesses. Even if they find us, we can just deny it."

Yu Yanluo: "..."

This guy is really a scoundrel, but sometimes you have to use this kind of scoundrel method to deal with shameless people.

“That’s all we can do for now,” she nodded, then suddenly remembered something and took out a black key from her bosom. “I just found this key at the Black Tooth Ancient’s corpse.”

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen both exclaimed in surprise: "Even after the White Lotus True Fire burned them, not a single cultivator's ashes were left. How come this key is still intact?"

Zuan's eyes lit up: "Could it be some kind of treasure?"

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen studied it for a while and finally shook their heads: "No, although the material is special, it doesn't have any special function. It's just a key. However, the place that can be opened with such a key is definitely extraordinary."

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they thought about it, they still couldn't figure out where the key was supposed to open. Even Yun Jianyue regretted killing Hei Chi Gu too hastily earlier; she should have interrogated him first about what the thing was for.

But who would have thought that someone like him would possess something so precious?

After returning to her residence, Zu'an secretly slipped into Yu Yanluo's room. However, she was shy and knew that the two Grandmasters' rooms were right next door. If something happened, it would definitely not be hidden from their eyes and ears. So she refused to share a room with him no matter what.

Zu'an also thought about his past experience with Yan Xuehen. If she heard anything else, it was hard to predict how she would react. So he didn't insist and went back to his room to sleep peacefully.

Instead, it caused Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen next door to prick up their ears and wait until midnight, thinking something might happen, only to find that they were disappointed.

"Tch, boring." Yun Jianyue kept grumbling.

If her only concern was her unfulfilled curiosity to watch the drama unfold, Yan Xuehen's thoughts were more complex. Her jade-like cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes sparkled, revealing a multitude of thoughts she was pondering.

In the following days, the frequency of Jinwu Guards appearing on the streets increased, clearly indicating that what happened that night had made many people in the royal court wary.

However, no one from the snake clan came to investigate, but other clans came to ingratiate themselves with her. Obviously, the news of Biyuan had spread, and everyone knew that Queen Medusa was skilled at breaking stones.

Even an ordinary person with such talent would be a guest of honor in major powers, let alone a clan leader, and such a stunningly beautiful person.

While Yu Yanluo was busy with social engagements, Zu An was happy to have some free time and took the opportunity to go to the Elf King's Palace to discuss the follow-up matters with Xue'er.

Who knew that the guards at the Elf King's Palace were much tighter than when they last visited, and there were also many Golden Crow Guard spies around. It was probably because after the Crown Prince's assassination attempt last time, they suspected that Princess Snow was colluding with the assassin and did not completely believe her story, so they arranged for people to secretly guard this place to see if they could find any flaws.

Worried about causing trouble for Xue'er, he did not force his way in.

Three days passed quickly, and the All Races Conference officially commenced.

The meeting place was located at the foot of the mountain where the imperial mausoleum was situated. At the foot of the mountain was a grand altar surrounded by a very spacious square, where various sacrifices and important events of the demon race were held.

Zaun had truly witnessed what a gathering of all races was like, as it indeed included all sorts of races, a truly bizarre sight.

It's one thing to see the common animals, but there are also some whose names I've never even heard of. I've never seen anything like this on Animal World in my past life.

Zaun stared at the sloth tribe members in the distance, who seemed to be doing everything in slow motion, and thought to himself, "Are these guys this slow in battle too? Does that mean they're just sitting ducks?"

Even more outrageous was the sight of tapeworms. Zuan felt nauseous at the sight. Were these guys also parasitic creatures that ate excrement inside other people's bodies?

There was also the giant maggot clan. Watching those guys wriggle like a mountain of flesh, Zuan's stomach churned. He was very curious about what these guys liked to eat the most, and whether they would become Fly Heroes when they broke through in the future.

There are many other races that are just as bizarre as tapeworms and giant maggots. Zu An thought to himself that he should never deal with these races in the future, because he was afraid that their racial talent was to spray excrement, which would be a lifelong trauma.

Each ethnic group took their seats according to their assigned positions, with the seats radiating outwards from the altar in concentric circles.

Zaun noticed that those in the innermost circle, at the very front, were almost all the most powerful races, while the snake clan group was sitting in the middle.

Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Yu Yanluo sighed softly, "Back when my mother was still alive, the snake clan was very powerful. At that time, they sat at the very front, but unfortunately now..."

"Haha, after such a long period of decline, you've still managed to maintain your mid-tier position, which shows that the Serpent Clan is indeed a great clan," Zuan comforted him. "Don't worry, now that you've returned to the Serpent Clan and have our help, it won't be long before you lead your people back to their former glory."

Yu Yanlu smiled bitterly and said nothing. In fact, she didn't really want to stay with the demon race. She preferred life with the human race and identified more with them. But she was Queen Medusa now and couldn't show any weakness or shake her people's confidence.
