A cold light appeared, bringing with it a terrifying chill that quickly spread out. This speed was not something that the giant snakes or the Heavenly Masters on the city walls could see clearly. In the blink of an eye, it covered half of the plains, heading towards the distant tall green mountain range.
Whoosh —
Wherever the chill passed, the ground froze into ice. The layer of ice wasn't very thick. In fact, it was only about four feet thick. However, the thickest body of these giant snakes was about four feet long. Most of the bodies of the giant snakes were above the ground and were directly covered by this huge layer of ice. And even if they were not covered, their heads that were above the layer of ice would be invaded by the chill, quickly freezing into ice.
The layer of ice spread rapidly, only stopping when it reached the foot of the tall green mountain range. The plains that were thousands of feet long and wide were completely covered, hundreds of giant snakes were all sealed in ice.
A terrifying chill pervaded the air, causing the Heavenly Masters on the city walls to tremble, and instantly regain their senses. With their strength, they could not see anything clearly. They only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and when they could see clearly, it was a glacier!
Frozen Earth!
Everyone who saw this scene opened their mouths wide, their jaws hurting as if they were about to fall off. The city walls were more than four feet long. They stood on the city walls and stared with wide eyes at the scene in the crack of ice. Their brains had completely lost the ability to think.
And Lu An, who had done all this, stood on the layer of ice. He looked at the hundreds of giant snakes that were sealed in ice without any joy. Instead, he looked warily towards the tall green mountain range.
He was afraid, afraid that a truly powerful Celestial Azure Yu Snake would appear. But fortunately, after the group of Celestial Azure Yu Snakes were sealed in ice, the giant snakes in the tall green mountain range immediately turned and fled, quickly disappearing from Lu An's sight.
Seeing this, Lu An heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no powerful giant snakes appeared. He lowered his head to look at the group of snakes frozen in ice. He was not sure if these were ordinary snakes, or real Celestial Azure Yu Snakes. The people in the alliance had never seen one before, but these snakes were similar to the picture that Liu Huan Xi had taken out.
The crisis had temporarily disappeared. Lu An, who was standing on the layer of ice, turned around to look at the people on the city wall. He realized that they were all standing there motionlessly. There was no other way. Lu An had to use his Star Diffraction Force to help them regain their senses.
Following this, Lu An and these people returned to the City Lord's Mansion. However, these people no longer dared to speak casually. They followed behind Lu An, not daring to utter a single word.
When the group of people returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's shock finally eased a little. However, he was still shocked by Lu An's strength. In front of this young man, their strength was not even a joke.
"Thank you, young hero, for saving my life!" The City Lord bowed and said.
No one sat down, and they all bowed to Lu An as they said, "Thank you, young hero, for saving our lives!"
"Everyone, you're too polite." Lu An did not show much emotion. Since he had displayed his strength, his words were even more convincing. He said, "The crisis has not been resolved. Arrange for everyone to evacuate Qingshan City as soon as possible. Also, inform all the cities near the Tall Green Mountain Range of this news. It's best if the entire Dylu Kingdom is evacuated. Otherwise, it might be destroyed. "
Hearing Lu An's words, these people no longer had any doubts and immediately nodded to obey. In the next three days, the entire Qingshan City was evacuated. Not a single person was left behind.
However, bad news also came from the surrounding cities. Not every city was as lucky as Qingshan City. These cities were massacred by the giant snakes. There were countless casualties, and not a single person managed to escape.
The giant snakes had already taken over several cities, and this news caused a commotion in the Dylu Kingdom. The palace and the Sacred Land jointly issued an order to declare that the country was in a state of emergency. Everyone was to evacuate to the south of the Dylu Kingdom as soon as possible, and half of the country was evacuated. All the armies were gathered at the intersection of the north and south, and they gathered their forces to prepare for the attack of the snakes.
However, these giant snakes only occupied the cities near the Tall Green Mountain Range and did not continue to expand. The reason was hard to fathom. Of all the cities near the Tall Green Mountain Range, only Qingshan City did not have any giant snakes. Perhaps these snakes were afraid that the humans in Qingshan City had not yet left, so they did not move forward.
In these three days, Lu An brought the other members of the Ice and Fire Union to Qingshan City to check the snakes in the ice. After repeated confirmation, these were indeed Celestial Yu Snakes. The picture in Liu Huanxi's book was of the powerful Celestial Yu Snake. However, these snakes were too weak, so there was a certain difference in appearance.
Since they had confirmed that there were Celestial Yu Snakes here, the next step was to formulate a plan. Right now, no one knew anything about the Celestial Yu Snakes. They did not know how strong they were, how many of them there were, and where the crown was hidden. Attacking rashly was very inappropriate. Fortunately, the Dylu Kingdom had given up half of the country. This way, they could wait and let all the Celestial Yu Snakes come out and occupy half of the country before attacking. This way, they would have fewer enemies to face.
To them, killing the Celestial Yu Snakes was secondary. Taking the crown was the most important thing.
To be safe, Lu An called for a Life and Death Union meeting again. He wanted the three top clans to help him. This way, they could definitely take down the Celestial Yu Snakes. However, the three clan leaders refused. The reason was simple. Unless they officially declared war on the Hachiko clan and attacked the Hachiko clan, they could not enter the Eight Ancient Continents. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The only one who was willing to help Lu An was Yue Rong. However, to be honest, Lu An was very worried about her safety. He knew that Yue Rong was very strong, but what if the leader of the Celestial Yu Snakes was also very strong and had absorbed the power of the crown to become stronger? Wouldn't Yue Rong be in danger?
Thus, this matter could only be solved with wisdom and not force.
At this moment, the members of the Ice and Fire Union were discussing in the meeting hall.
"The best way is to lure the snake out of its hole." Liu Yi said. "Lure the snake out of the mountain range, then find a way to steal the crown from its lair. However, this is extremely risky. The problem is that what if the Celestial Yu Snakes hide the crown in some spatial container or carry it on their bodies? That would be terrible. "
"No." Just as everyone nodded, Yao softly said, "It's basically impossible to put the Elven Crown into a spatial container."
Lu An was startled. "Why?"
"It's very simple. The prerequisite for putting something into a spatial container is that the container's power must be enough to support the item." Yao looked at Lu An and said seriously, "My husband understands the power of space better than I do. Do you think my immortal staff can be put into any spatial container?"
Lu An's eyes focused. He immediately understood Yao's meaning.
That's right. A powerful weapon like the Immortal Staff of Sorcery contained an incomparably large amount of energy. It required a powerful spatial energy to support it. If he put the immortal staff into a ring, it would be like putting a piece of iron into a cotton bag. It would instantly explode. However, Yao's immortal staff was similar to her bloodline. It was completely fused into her bloodline, and would appear whenever she summoned it. There was no need to hold it.
"Is the Elven Crown the same as your immortal staff?" Lu An asked.
"That's not the case." Yao lightly shook her head. "I've asked father. The Elven Crown is much weaker than the immortal staff in my hands. There's only one weapon in the world that can compare to the complete Immortal Staff of Sorcery. However, this weapon has already been sealed, and no one can take it."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They looked at Yao in shock. Though they were discussing the Celestial Yu Snakes, what Yao said had already far exceeded that level. She even let them know some secrets that no one else knew about.
There was only one weapon in the world that could compare to the Immortal Staff of Sorcery?
Just what was it?
Lu An took a light breath. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"Father didn't say." Yao softly said. "He said only the next Immortal Master can know about this. No one else has the right to know."
"…"
Lu An frowned. He knew that the Immortal Master was definitely not someone who was deliberately mystifying things. It seemed like this matter was indeed no small matter.
Taking a deep breath, Lu An allowed his thoughts to return to the Celestial Yu Snakes. He said, "Since it's very likely that the Elven Crown is hidden somewhere, we have to formulate a plan to lure them out. The Celestial Yu Snakes might be waiting for an opportunity five thousand years ago. We have to attack before that happens. This way, they will feel very uncomfortable. "
"I will communicate with Yuerong. She will be in charge of luring the Celestial Yu Snakes' leader away," Lu An continued. "After that, we will enter the mountain range and search for the Elven Crown together!"
"Alright!" The girls all nodded.
