Chapter 328 Ye Fan’s Ambition

In the formation, spiritual energy turned into sharp blades and thunder, bombarding Medusa's body continuously. Her huge snake body was covered with scars, her silver-white scales were torn, and blood stained the ground red. Every attack took away a lot of her strength, forcing her to constantly mobilize the spiritual energy in her body to resist.

The initial indifference and contempt in Medusa's silver-purple snake eyes were gone, replaced by anger and a hint of deep-hidden fear.

"Damn formation, so insidious!" She cursed in a low voice, and the huge snake tail swept across suddenly, dispersing the surrounding spiritual energy attacks. But the relief brought by this counterattack was fleeting, and more attacks came from all directions, forcing her to consume the remaining spiritual energy in her body again.

Gradually, she felt that the loss of spiritual energy was irreversible, the power in her body began to dry up, and the wounds on her body increased. She realized that if she continued like this, she would soon die.

"Damn it! If I die, the snake people will be finished..." Medusa was in a state of confusion. She was not only the queen of the snake people, but also the patron saint of the entire tribe. If she died, the snake people on this land would completely become prey and be slaughtered or enslaved by the powerful outsiders.

She was unwilling to just fall here.

“Ye Fan!” Medusa gritted her teeth and growled, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, “Stop! We can talk!”

Ye Fan, who was outside the formation, was slightly startled, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Queen Medusa, aren't you very confident? Why, are you admitting defeat now?"

Medusa's silver-purple snake pupils stared at Ye Fan closely, and she said in a low voice: "If I die, you will never get the spiritual veins of the snake people. You should understand that without my protection, the spiritual veins of this desert will dry up sooner or later."

Ye Fan nodded slightly after hearing this: "You are right, but do you think I will easily trust an enemy who may regret at any time?"

Medusa was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want? As long as you don't hurt my people, I can agree to all your conditions!"

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. He looked at Medusa in the formation and said slowly: "If you really want peace, then accept my slave seal. In this way, I can guarantee your safety and will not kill all the snake people."

Medusa's pupils shrank, and she growled angrily: "Slave Seal? Ye Fan, how dare you put forward such a condition! This is humiliating this king!"

Ye Fan smiled coldly: "Humiliation? No, I just want a guarantee. Queen Medusa, you are much stronger than me, I have to be on guard. Besides, this may not be a bad thing. After accepting the slave mark, we can cooperate, and I can also help you and the snake people become stronger."

Medusa stared at Ye Fan, her snake tail trembling slightly, obviously trying to suppress her anger. She knew what the slave mark meant. It was complete submission, to hand over one's freedom and destiny to others.

But on the other hand, her injuries were getting worse and worse, and her spiritual energy was almost exhausted. If she delayed any longer, she would surely die, and the snake people would also suffer.

Finally, Medusa closed her eyes, with a reluctant tone: "Okay, I promise you, but you must promise not to harm my people, and you can't take away their spiritual veins!"

Ye Fan nodded and said calmly: "Okay. I just want to cooperate and not kill innocent people."

He quickly made a hand gesture, and a dark rune condensed from his hand, floating in the air, emitting a strange aura. This was the slave seal technique taught to him by the Demon Emperor. Once planted, the slave seal would fit with the opponent's soul and firmly control the opponent's life and death.

"Are you ready?" Ye Fan asked lightly.

Medusa took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

Ye Fan waved his hand and put the slave seal into the formation. The dark rune shrank rapidly and finally merged into Medusa's forehead. In an instant, Medusa's body trembled violently, and a flash of pain flashed in her silver-purple snake eyes, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, and did not make a single whine.

After a moment, the slave seal took effect, and Medusa's aura gradually stabilized.

Ye Fan removed the formation and looked at Medusa in front of him with a complicated look on his face: "Queen Medusa, from now on, we are allies."

Medusa returned to her human form, her face pale, and she looked at Ye Fan coldly: "Ally? Humph, I hope you won't make me regret my decision today."

Ye Fan smiled slightly: "You won't regret it. Cooperation will make us all stronger."

Medusa did not speak again, but turned around coldly and looked at the desert in the distance. Although she surrendered temporarily, her pride and dignity still prevented her from easily accepting this fate.

Ye Fan put away the core of the formation and looked forward firmly. He knew that Medusa's joining would be an important step for him to become stronger, and all this had just begun.

In the desert scorched by the scorching sun, Ye Fan was dressed in a black robe and walked steadily, while Medusa, who followed him, said nothing. At this moment, Medusa was already an ally under his control, but there was still a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

The settlement of the snake people gradually appeared in the field of vision. It was a fortress surrounded by an oasis. The architectural style was rough but not without beauty. A large number of snake people were busy shuttling among them. However, when the tribesmen saw Ye Fan and Medusa appear together, the scene suddenly fell into a strange silence.

"That's...a human?"

"Her Majesty is traveling with humans?"

"Go and report to the elders quickly!"

Amidst the murmurs, the powerful men of the Snake People appeared one after another. They had vigilance and doubt on their faces, and some even clenched their weapons, ready to take action at any time.

An old man with white hair stood up, holding a snake-shaped scepter, and looked at Medusa with complicated eyes: "Your Majesty, what is going on? Why are you traveling with foreigners?"

Medusa glanced at her tribesmen, a cold look on her face: "This man is a distinguished guest I invited. He will help us solve the crisis of the snake people. From now on, his orders are equivalent to my orders. Do you understand?"

When these words were spoken, the tribesmen were in an uproar.

"Dignified guest?"

"Why would Your Majesty obey the orders of a human?"

A young snakeman could not help but stand up and said angrily: "Your Majesty, our snakeman tribe is constantly striving for self-improvement. When did we need to rely on outsiders?"

Medusa gave him a cold look and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Shut up! The fate of the snake people is decided by me, and I don't need you to question it!"

The man's face froze, and he finally lowered his head and retreated. Although the other tribesmen were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything under Medusa's powerful majesty.

Ye Fan stood aside and watched all this quietly, with a smile on his face. Although Medusa had been planted with a slave mark, her majesty and means were still enough to suppress the entire snake race, which made him more confident in the next plan.

Under Medusa's order, Ye Fan was allowed by the snake people to enter the deep underground where the spiritual vein was located. This area was rich in spiritual energy, and countless precious spiritual plants took root here, emitting a refreshing fragrance. At the core of the spiritual vein, there was a faint glow of spiritual energy flowing on the ground, wriggling like a living thing.

Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction and took out an exquisite formation plate.

This was a formation treasure that he bought at a high price from an auction house. It could completely extract the spirit vein and transfer it to a designated location. This treasure was priceless, but in order to establish the Nirvana Sect, he did not hesitate to spend it.

"Queen, this will be our new starting point." Ye Fan said as he set up the formation.

Medusa stood aside, watching his actions coldly, and said slowly: "Ye Fan, I can agree to cooperate with you, but if you break your promise, I will fight back at all costs."

Ye Fan smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not a demon, I won't do anything to kill you all."

As the array was activated, streams of spiritual energy rose from the ground and quickly gathered into the array. The entire underground space began to vibrate, and the core of the spiritual vein was slowly being extracted.

This process was extremely large and complicated, and even took several days. During this period, the strong men of the snake people were guarding nearby to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

The snake people gathered on the ground, talking among themselves.

"This spiritual vein is the foundation for our snake people to survive. Do we really want to hand it over to outsiders?"

"Her Majesty would not do this for no reason. Perhaps she has other plans."

"But what should we do if these humans go back on their word?"

These discussions reached Ye Fan's ears, and he just smiled lightly and didn't care. He knew that it was not easy to make the snake people completely trust him, but as long as the spiritual vein was successfully extracted, his plan would proceed smoothly.

Medusa listened to the discussion of her tribe members with mixed feelings. She knew that this decision would completely change the fate of the snake people, and she could only take a gamble, betting that Ye Fan would not let her down.

A few days later, the extraction of the spirit vein will be completed. Ye Fan stood in the center of the formation, feeling the rich spiritual energy surging, and his heart was full of expectations. He knew that this spirit vein would bring earth-shaking changes to the Nirvana Sect, and this was only the first step in his journey.

He looked at Medusa and smiled: "Queen, our cooperation will change everything."

Medusa did not respond, but stared at him coldly, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. She knew that this man's ambition was greater than she had imagined, and she might just be a pawn in it.
