Chapter 211
Ye Lan followed the black snake into the cave unimpeded. The cave was completely different from what he saw from the outside.
When I walked into the cave, I found that there was something hidden inside.
This black snake didn't look like a simple minion. He followed it all the way and found that some snake people he met on the road all saluted them.
It can be seen that the status of this black snake here is extraordinary.
Ye Lan didn't ask until the black snake brought him to a more luxurious cave entrance and stopped.
"This is where our clan leader lives. I'll take you to meet my grandfather."
Good guy, he exposed his identity before he even asked.
This black snake is indeed of the same lineage.
The black snake didn't take it seriously. It jumped and ran towards the cave entrance, shouting: "Grandpa, Grandpa! A distinguished guest is here!"
Distinguished guest Ye Lan: ...
The black snake rushed in rashly. As expected, Ye Lan, who was standing outside the cave entrance, heard the roar of an old man.
"Look at you, you're not a kid anymore, but why are you still so reckless?"
After he finished speaking, a sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling came from inside.
After a long period of turmoil, the room finally quieted down.
Ye Lan, who was standing outside, saw an elderly man walking out holding a wooden stick.
Although he was obviously old, his eyes showed wisdom and spirit, without any of the expression that an old person should have.
He looked at Ye Lan apologetically, "I'm sorry, my grandson is too naughty and made you laugh."
When Ye Lan heard the word "Venerable", he quickly understood that the black snake must have told its grandfather.
So Ye Lan greeted him perfunctorily: "No, no."
Ye Lan is sweet-talker and won’t make others unhappy right away.
The old man glanced up and down, then took a step back. He extended his hand and said, "Please come in and have a chat, Your Excellency."
His grandson was extremely unreliable. He didn't know why this immortal cultivator suddenly appeared in the demon world. He only knew that his silly grandson brought this man to their snake cave. If this man had impure intentions, then they would surely suffer a great disaster.
Ye Lan had no idea what the snake leader behind him was thinking. When he walked in, he saw the black snake standing in the corner as if being punished, with his hands raised above his head, and it seemed that he was holding something in his hands.
When the snake tribe leader saw Ye Lan looking at his silly grandson, he smiled awkwardly with some distress.
"My grandson is silly and always gets into trouble. If I don't punish him, he won't learn his lesson. Your Excellency, please take a seat."
Ye Lan knew very well that the snake chief was hinting that his foolish grandson shouldn't have brought him to their territory.
Ye Lan found a chair and bent down to sit down. He moved his right hand, and a black scale instantly appeared on the palm of his hand.
At the same time, the Snake Clan leader sitting in the main seat above was shocked. He looked at Ye Lan in shock and stammered, "This... May I ask, where did this Scale Venerable come from?"
Ye Lan was not in a hurry either. He played with the scales in his palm and spoke casually.
"This was a gift from a black snake when it ascended to heaven." Ye Lan said quietly. He did not talk about the process, but only the result.
When the snake tribe leader heard about the ascension, he instantly jumped up from his seat.
The entire snake trembled with excitement: "Are you serious? Is this really about ascending to heaven?"
Ye Lan nodded: "Why would I lie to you? The black snake also said that if I ever stray into the demon world, these scales will help protect me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the snake tribe leader fell to his knees and kowtowed several times to Ye Lan.
"Grandfather, be so kind! Thank you, Your Excellency, for telling us this important matter. For thousands of years, we all thought our ancestor had passed away. Although we call him Grandfather, we should actually call him our King!"
"Luckily you brought these scales with you, otherwise our Black Snake clan would have been wiped out!"
He was crying and sobbing. Ye Lan quickly stood up from his chair and helped the snake tribe leader up.
The snake clan leader instead took Ye Lan's hand and continued, "We, the black snake clan, shed our skin every ten years, until once every hundred years, when we need our king to baptize us."
He pointed at the black snake in the corner and continued, "If they are not baptized in time, their cultivation will not improve, and their minds will not mature. My grandson has become foolish and his cultivation is terrible because he didn't receive the king's baptism. Our black snake clan is on the verge of extinction..."
Ye Lan finally understood why the black snake was so small when it transformed into its true form...
The black scales in his palm became hot and scalding.
Ye Lan quickly stood up straight and stretched out his hand to return the scale in his palm to the snake chief.
"Since you need the king's baptism, but he has already ascended, leaving behind only this scale, then I will return it to you. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Since your king has been missing for so long, hasn't a new king been elected?"
The snake tribe leader carefully held the black snake scales in his palms and sighed.
"Why wouldn't we want to elect a new king? But if the new king wants to inherit the throne, he must be recognized and allowed by the king before he can become the new king. The king has been gone for so long, so naturally, we can't appoint a new king."
"Although the king has ascended, fortunately, he left scales for you, Your Majesty. This can be considered as giving our Black Snake Clan hope again."
Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as there is hope."
The snake clan leader pointed his hand at Ye Lan's brow, and instantly a dark pattern of a lively little snake appeared at his brow.
Ye Lan looked at the Snake Clan leader in confusion, and the latter explained, "Your Excellency has entrusted us with such an important item. I should give you a unique rune of our Black Snake Master. From now on, no matter who is in the Black Snake Clan, they will know that you are our honored guest when they see the mark between your eyebrows."
Ye Lan understood. He knew from the look on the snake leader's face that his heart was already with the scales and he didn't care about him at all. So he smiled and said, "Thank you, leader. I will probably stay here for a while. I hope you don't mind."
The Snake Clan leader quickly nodded in response: "How could that be? Your Excellency can stay as long as you want! How could you be dissatisfied? Aning, quickly! Take Your Excellency to find a quiet cave to stay!"
The black snake called Aning instantly rushed over from the corner of the wall and quickly pulled Ye Lanji outside.
"It was a close call. Fortunately, Your Excellency is here, otherwise Grandpa wouldn't have spared me so easily!"
The black snake walked in front of Ye Lan heartlessly. When Ye Lan saw his appearance, the words of the snake clan leader about immaturity immediately rang in his ears.
Sure enough, he looks like a half-grown boy.
