1039
The sisters outside were all waiting anxiously, wanting to talk to their brother.
But her brother was always with their father and had no time for them. No matter, though, with her brother back, they wouldn't have to train so hard or go out to war.
Upon arriving at Spirit Serpent Island, the spirit serpents waiting there were somewhat dumbfounded. Wasn't the Spirit Serpent King supposed to be away at war? Why was he back so soon?
Did we fail?
But judging from everyone's expressions, they had not lost the battle!
When the snakes saw the Serpent Prince next to the Serpent King, they were immediately shocked.
Oh my god, the Serpent Prince is back.
Many people were excited and happy, but many others were unhappy.
The return of the Serpent Prince will inevitably arouse the fear and even suppression of the Serpents on Serpent Island who covet the position of Serpent King.
The Serpent King could naturally sense the changes around him, but he didn't care. He took his son to the Serpent Palace, while his wife was still diligently incubating the eggs.
After the Snake King returned, he immediately followed his father to pay his respects to his mother.
The Serpent Queen, upon hearing that her son had returned, could hardly believe it! She immediately transformed into human form and came out to see her son.
Seeing her son return unharmed, the Serpent Queen embraced him and burst into tears, saying, "Son, you're finally back! Your mother has missed you day and night, unable to sleep..."
"Mother, now that I'm back, you can finally sleep peacefully," said the Snake King. "Father, please focus on your cultivation. I will protect you both. Oh, Mother, I brought many spoils of war, some of which are very nourishing. I'll personally bring them to you later."
"Good son, so filial," said Queen Serpent. "Your Majesty, my son has returned and won a great victory. It's time to hold a celebration for him."
"Hehe, yes, our Spirit Serpent Palace hasn't held a banquet in a long time." The Spirit Serpent King sighed. Every time he returned from battle, he was injured and had no energy to hold a banquet. Moreover, he and his wife missed their son so much that they had no interest in it.
The Serpent King also knew that the Serpent Royal Clan was gradually declining and needed a grand event to invigorate its people.
Like the Black Bear Clan, the Serpent Clan suffers from intense internal strife.
His return will inevitably disrupt the existing balance.
However, he didn't care; what belonged to him, no one could take away.
It is said that the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder of the human realm is indeed powerful. Its strength is several times that of before, and it also has some mysterious techniques in its mind.
The Snake King hadn't had time to think about it before, but now he finally understood that this was Huo Yingjie's method for cultivating demonic beasts.
With this cultivation method, their Spirit Serpent Royal Family can continue to prosper and remain the kings of the Spirit Serpent Clan.
The bells of the Serpent Palace ring out, their sound reaching every corner of Serpent Island.
This bell is ringing to signal a victory celebration.
Some spirit snakes already knew that the Spirit Snake Prince had returned, while others who were cultivating were unaware. However, upon hearing the bell, spirit snakes of the appropriate status were required to attend, so they arrived one after another.
Upon arriving at the Serpent Palace, one could see as far as the eye could see the spoils of war.
The people of the Spirit Serpent Clan had not seen such a grand spectacle for a long time. They stood there dumbfounded, drooling over the spoils of war with envy.
I hope to get something.
However, considering that they weren't really interested in the war, many of the spirit snakes were unwilling to go out to fight with the old snake king, so they hid away to cultivate. Therefore, these spoils of war had nothing to do with them.
However, what intrigued them even more was why the old snake king was so powerful, managing to acquire so many spoils after only half a day of fighting.
Perhaps they should reconsider their team strategy.
The Serpent King, now dressed in the garb of the Serpent Prince, appeared beside the Serpent King, surrounded by his sisters.
The venue for the banquet at the Serpent Palace was a wide, long corridor.
Although they were far away, everyone saw the Serpent Prince beside the Serpent King and were all dumbfounded.
The elders, in particular, looked somewhat embarrassed.
They were even calculating which serpent would inherit the throne after the Serpent King's death.
Now that the Serpent Prince has appeared, not only in terms of his identity but also in terms of his abilities, he is the most powerful and the most suitable.
Sitting next to the Elder Serpent was a young man, a serpent older than the Serpent King. However, his true form was not golden, but light yellow, and his talent was somewhat inferior to that of the Serpent Prince.
However, they are also very outstanding among the younger generation.
This is the Grand Elder's grandson. The Grand Elder has already contacted the other elders and reached an agreement.
Unexpectedly, at the last minute, the Serpent Prince returned.
Their plans were all ruined. Rationally, they did not want to usurp the throne, but rather hoped that the old Serpent King would be exhausted and abdicate voluntarily.
This way, he could rightfully obtain the position of Serpent King without causing internal divisions within the Serpent Clan.
The young man glared angrily at the Snake King, thinking, "Why didn't this distant cousin just die out there?"
"Li Feng, suppress your anger," the Grand Elder said softly. "Now is the time to welcome the Serpent Prince. Some things are destined not to belong to you and me, so it's best not to show your anger in public."
Li Feng felt terrible. He had sacrificed so much to become the Spirit Serpent King, but all his efforts had been in vain.
“Yes, Grandfather,” Li Feng said, lowering his head and no longer looking at the conspicuous Serpent King and Serpent Prince.
Seeing the reactions of the Great Elder and Li Feng, and the fact that the Serpent Prince had won the battle and obtained so many spoils, the other clansmen all began to support the Serpent King and the Serpent Prince.
The chieftain of the Red Serpent Clan, who is also the brother of the current Serpent Queen, personally brought his sons and daughters to congratulate his nephew, the Serpent Prince, on his victorious return.
As long as the Serpent Prince is alive, he will continue to intermarry with the Serpent King's lineage.
Red spirit snakes are not good at cultivation and have short lifespans, but they are skilled in medicine and alchemy. Because they are fertile and their offspring inherit the excellent qualities of their parents, all other spirit snake families like to intermarry with the red spirit snake clan.
His daughter, naturally, was to be paired with the most noble serpent prince.
Secondly, there was his nephew.
He is the patriarch of the Red Spirit Serpent clan, and even if they are related, he cannot marry his daughter to a descendant of the incompetent Spirit Serpent King.
"Li Xian, where have you been all this time?" Hong Jian asked. "Your mother and I are very worried about you and hope you will come back soon."
Haha, really? You're busy finding a husband for your daughter among the younger generation, aren't you?
However, he is no longer the impulsive child he used to be; he should become more mature.
"Thank you, Uncle. You've worked hard," Li Xian said, his expression as warm as sunshine. "I hope you will continue to support me in the future."
