162. Whose orders should we obey?
Upon seeing the token, Wu Huai's pupils constricted sharply, as if he were seeing the most terrifying object imaginable.
For a moment, he even lost the ability to think. He not only recognized the token that Xiao Yan took out, but he also knew it very well. Everyone in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion knew it very well!
Everyone in the Heavenly Serpent Palace knew what that token meant.
King Serpent Decree!
Even the Heavenly Serpent Palace only has three of them, not because they are reluctant to make them, but because there are simply too few people qualified to possess the King Serpent Token.
Only elders with strength reaching the Dou Zun level can obtain it. Even envoys who are there to convey the opinions of the Heavenly Serpent Palace Sect Master can only hold the King Serpent Token for a short time, and it will be taken back immediately after the mission ends.
Therefore, of the three King Serpent Tokens of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, only one originally had an owner, namely Yang Zhishuang, the Dou Zun Ancestor of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
The other piece was frequently used but had no fixed owner, while the last piece was never used until recently when it was given to Xiao Yan, who had saved the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, by the Mansion Master Yang Yue.
Looking at the token in front of him, Wu Huai suddenly had a terrible thought, and no matter how he tried to comfort himself, the thought would not go away.
"Who are you? How do you possess the King Serpent Token of my Heavenly Serpent Palace?!"
"Xiao Yan." A calm voice came from Xiao Yan's mouth.
Wu Huai's mind seemed to explode; the impact of the name "Xiao Yan" was so great that he couldn't think straight for a moment.
All his actions were ultimately based on the Heavenly Serpent Manor's gratitude towards Xiao Yan. If the person in front of him was indeed Xiao Yan, he had actually become enemies with Xiao Yan, the great benefactor and honorary elder of the Heavenly Serpent Manor!
Wu Huai couldn't imagine what kind of mistake he had made, nor could he understand what kind of blame he would face.
"How could this be? It can't be you. Elder Xiao was able to defeat several Dou Zun." Wu Huai struggled to speak.
Wu Huai's words stumped Xiao Yan. After all, he had indeed fought against several Dou Zun in Tianlan City, but there were reasons for that. He estimated that he was still far from being Wu Huai's match now.
The reason Wu Huai dared to carry out his plan to replace the high-ranking officials of the Jia Ma Empire was mainly because he had repeatedly confirmed that the Xiao family had left the Jia Ma Empire, which was not a difficult thing to investigate.
Dou Zun has already mastered spatial abilities, and he believes that Xiao Yan should have already returned to the Jia Ma Empire.
Seeing Xiao Yan speechless, Wu Huai felt as if he had found a lifeline and sneered, "Boy, you actually dared to steal the King Serpent Token of my Heavenly Serpent Palace! Kill this brat!"
Wu Huai no longer cared whether the person in front of him was Xiao Yan or not. He only knew that, judging from Xiao Yan's fight with Ye Guan just now, he certainly didn't have the rumored strength to kill a Dou Zun. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a difficult time fighting Ye Guan and Ye He.
Since that's the case, Wu Huai must deal with this matter cleanly as soon as possible, regardless of whether it's Xiao Yan or not.
However, the King Serpent Token holds an unparalleled position within the Heavenly Serpent Palace; the King Serpent Token is equivalent to the Palace Master's personal presence!
Many of the powerful figures belonging to the Heavenly Serpent Palace hesitated, clearly wavering between the King Serpent Decree and Wu Huai's orders.
The situation on the scene was momentarily tense, but in this strange atmosphere, someone rushed in front of Xiao Yan, ready to make a move.
"Since Deacon Wu wants you dead, then die, brat!"
A massive black shadow lunged at Xiao Yan from the waist. The newcomer was none other than Qin Huan, a Dou Zong expert who had been standing to the side!
With an unstoppable momentum, Qin Huan's spiked club even caused the space in front of him to shatter, his strike truly aimed at killing Xiao Yan.
Although Qin Huan's battle tactics were bold and unrestrained, he was also a sensitive and cunning person. After recognizing Wu's identity, he immediately sensed something extraordinary.
He was eager to establish a connection with the Heavenly Serpent Palace, and now was clearly a good opportunity.
Sensing the approaching gale, Xiao Yan dodged away. He had already separated from Huo Zhi, and the blessing of the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations was coming to an end. Instead, he was in a weakened state due to the overdraft of the secret technique. Now, Xiao Yan was no match for Qin Huan.
Seeing Xiao Yan fleeing in a disheveled state, Qin Huan also used his Dou Qi to shout, "Hahaha, if you really are an elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, then don't run away!"
Then they chased after Xiao Yan again. With Qin Huan's shout, many people in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion were also moved.
The people of Tian She Mansion naturally knew about Xiao Yan's deeds; it could be said that Xiao Yan saved many powerful figures in Tianlan City.
Not only did he truly participate in battles at the Dou Zun level, but he even personally killed a Dou Zun expert. How could he possibly be the guy who is now powerless against a Dou Zong?
In addition, the Heavenly Serpent Palace has expanded rapidly during this period, absorbing many followers from other sects. They have no sense of awe or respect for the Heavenly Serpent Palace's Serpent King Token.
They hadn't acted before simply because they hadn't figured out the situation, but now that they saw Xiao Yan's disheveled state, they were naturally eager to try, after all, the benefits of currying favor with Wu Huai were obvious. People kept emerging from the crowd, joining the encirclement of Xiao Yan.
As many of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's forces joined the battle, Zi Yan's entire body shone with purple light as she fiercely confronted Qin Huan.
There were simply too many people surrounding and killing Xiao Yan, and Zi Yan couldn't care less about them all at the moment. She could only choose to deal with Qin Huan, who was the most troublesome among them.
Qin Huan and Zi Yan smiled upon seeing this: "Little girl, you ambushed me before, this time I will surely kill you!"
Zi Yan also taunted, "I'll make you go keep that old man company right away."
The next moment, the two most physically powerful Dou Zong clashed together, a gray light and a purple light flashing. The energy ripples from their collision alone sent chills down the spines of those nearby. A domineering force erupted from the center of their impact.
Qin Huan was in better condition than Zi Yan, but he hadn't dared to launch a full-scale attack. Zi Yan's strike that killed Xie Bi Yan had left a deep impression on him. Helping Wu Huai was predicated on ensuring his own survival!
Although Zi Yan had restrained the most troublesome Qin Huan, Xiao Yan's situation remained dangerous, as he constantly dodged and weaved through the crowd.
He is currently in a weakened state, and his strength is not much stronger than that of the Dou Huang of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Moreover, there are already hundreds of people surrounding him. Although many of them are Dou Ling or Dou Wang, the sheer number of them will cause a qualitative change!
In the distance, within the Five Kingdoms Alliance, Yan Luotian watched Xiao Yan flee and asked the person beside him, "Madam Zhu, are you interested in participating in this battle?"
