CHAPTER 378: CHAPTER 352: BEARDED SAVAGE? (PART 2)

It seemed Yu Xiaolian’s warning was unnecessary. The long-bearded elder was very excited upon seeing the snakes. With a casual flick of his hand, the iron chain smashed the snake attempting to attack him to the ground. Then, the elder expertly swung the iron chain, pulling the distant snake to his feet.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a foolish snake like you. Today, I’ll have you for my breakfast, haha!"

After saying this, the elder began skinning the snake and eating raw snake meat right in front of Yu Xiaolian, making her feel nauseous to the point of wanting to vomit.

Earlier, when the elder swung the iron chain, Yu Xiaolian noticed that the other end of the chain binding the elder wasn’t fixed to the stone wall.

Perhaps it was once fixed to the stone wall and was later violently torn down by the elder.

Just what kind of person imprisoned this elder here?

With his legs chopped off, imprisoned in this Myriad Snake Cave, living off venomous snakes—death might be preferable.

"Senior, who has confined you here?" Yu Xiaolian decided to try and establish some rapport with the elder.

She had a premonition that if the elder wished to kill her, a mere thought would be enough to cause the Longevity Gu inside her to instantly kill her.

This might be the fear of a Child Gu towards a Mother Gu. She clearly felt the Longevity Gu inside her become cowardly the moment she met this elder.

After finishing an entire snake, the elder dragged his tattered clothing and wiped his mouth, smeared with snake blood.

"The one who imprisoned me no longer matters.

The important thing is he is long dead, while I am still alive and well, hahaha..."

After crazily laughing for a while, the elder spoke again, "Since you are the host of a Longevity Gu Child Gu, and heaven has delivered you to me, it seems we two are destined for an extraordinary kinship.

Let me ask you, do you have the ambition to vie for the world?"

Yu Xiaolian was stunned; is he asking her to rebel? She doesn’t have a single soldier under her command, isn’t this a joke?

Besides, this elder thinks a mere Longevity Gu is enough to start a rebellion, he’s seriously underestimating things?

Does he think rebellion is child’s play?

"Senior, I don’t have a single soldier under my command, how can I talk about the world?"

The elder’s eyes lit up, "So, you do have ambition?"

I don’t have much ambition, but elder, your ambition is just too apparent. Yu Xiaolian followed the elder’s eager gaze and nodded without hesitation.

"The current Emperor is foolish and tyrannical, the people suffer miserably. Moreover, the old Emperor was severely ill some time ago and captured many Beneficial Gu people from our Witch Clan to keep himself alive. Now, our Witch Clan is as good as vermin in the eyes of the public, unable to walk openly. If this continues, the extinction of our Witch Clan is near." Yu Xiaolian spoke with righteous indignation, her words vivid and full of emotion.

"What? Has the Witch Clan really fallen to such a miserable state?" The long-bearded elder was shocked.

Back in his youth, the Witch Clan was at its peak, and neither the Imperial Family nor martial artists dared to antagonize them.

Yu Xiaolian continued, "I’ve heard the old Emperor drinks fresh blood of Beneficial Gu maidens every day, each time consuming a large bowl. The number of young Beneficial Gu maidens in the Witch Clan is dwindling."

"Who is the current leader of the Witch Clan? And who is the Saintess? Do they just let people bully us without retaliating?" The elder appeared exasperated, like someone who cannot meet high expectations.

Yu Xiaolian pretended to wipe away a tear, "Just now, the new Witch Clan leader and the newly appointed Saintess have both died."

"How did they die?" the elder asked urgently.

Yu Xiaolian calmly replied, "I killed them."

The long-bearded elder listened and then laughed uproariously, not angry but instead nodding in praise, "The master of the Longevity Gu should indeed be like this!"

Since this girl has the Longevity Gu, the position of Saintess should rightfully be hers, the Leader’s wife should be hers too. Instead, these positions were taken by others, and for her to personally kill her enemies, it was well deserved for those two.

Hearing the elder speak like this, Yu Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief.

She had gambled correctly!

This elder doesn’t care who sits in that position. In his eyes, the position belongs to those who have the ability.

"Senior, how long have you been imprisoned here? Do you want me to rescue you?"

The long-bearded elder shifted to show Yu Xiaolian his severed legs, "In my current state, getting out doesn’t hold much meaning anymore. Since heaven delivered you to me shortly after I awoke, it seems to be destiny."
