Free Web NovelChapter 379: Twin Snake Clan’s Purebloods
The Crystalline Rain Region was located only 5 Regions away from the Enflamed Desert Region.
Normally, Tang Yin would have relied on Xiao Fei to Space Warp him several tens of Regions away, ensuring he was well beyond the reach of the Twin Snake Clan.
Nevertheless, Tang Yin’s primary objective wasn’t merely to evade the Twin Snake Clan. He aimed to enter the Abyss Firmament and enter a long period of seclusion. This strategic move would allow him to easily elude the Twin Snake Clan’s pursuit and vanish without a trace.
Naturally, his abrupt vanishing act into the Abyss Firmament would attract significant attention from the Twin Snake Clan and possibly other curious organizations. However, as long periods of time pass, no one would bother to remember a Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
Even if he wasn’t entirely forgotten, Tang Yin would have long since faded into obscurity.
Hence, he could pursue his desires without restraint upon emerging from seclusion, perhaps even provoking another formidable organization, before once again withdrawing into seclusion.
In due course, Tang Yin held the belief that he could amass enough power to challenge even Rank 8 Organizations. Consequently, he wouldn’t have to evade these colossal entities any longer, as he would possess the strength to confront them head-on.
Therefore, instead of fleeing from the Twin Snake Clan, Tang Yin chose to locate a secluded spot in the Crystalline Rain Region where he could enter the Abyss Firmament, ensuring that the Crystalline Rain Region would be the last place to contain any traces of his presence.
Furthermore, the Crystalline Rain Region didn’t fall within the Twin Snake Clan’s authority, it was instead governed by the Divine Emperor Kingdom, the most formidable Rank 8 Organization in the Bright Yang Continent.
While the Twin Snake Clan wasn’t prohibited from entering the Crystalline Rain Region, doing so would entail an extremely challenging task, causing significant delays and complications for the clan’s sent cultivators.
After all, for a Rank 8 Organization to deploy its cultivators within the territory of another Rank 8 Organization was a substantial undertaking. It involved navigating through numerous intricate and troublesome procedures before obtaining permission, not to mention the substantial cost required for entry in the first place.
Considering that the Crystalline Rain Region was under the jurisdiction of the powerful Divine Emperor Kingdom, it was almost certain that they would demand a steep fee from the Twin Snake Clan, which was relatively weaker among the Rank 8 Organizations, in exchange for access to the region.
While the Divine Emperor Kingdom might seek to obtain a substantial share from the Twin Snake Clan, they wouldn’t push too far. After all, jeopardizing their collaborative and amicable relationship over mere access to the Crystalline Rain Region would not be worth it.
Nevertheless, Tang Yin wasn’t overly concerned about this matter. He placed greater importance on the impediment and irritation that the Divine Emperor Kingdom could inflict upon the Twin Snake Clan’s cultivators.
Given that Tang Yin was unaffiliated, the Divine Emperor Kingdom wouldn’t be particularly concerned about his entrance. Nonetheless, they wouldn’t simply allow him to freely enter their territory and act without restraint, as Tang Yin possessed significant power and had the potential to cause considerable harm if left unchecked.
As Tang Yin intended to maintain a low profile and stay out of trouble, the Divine Emperor Kingdom wouldn’t have to interfere or pay much attention to his actions. This would enable him to swiftly locate a secluded area within the Crystalline Rain Region and discreetly enter the Abyss Firmament.
Of course, because the Crystalline Rain Region was under the direct governance of the Divine Emperor Kingdom, Tang Yin couldn’t just casually enter the Region without following certain protocols.
To gain entry, Tang Yin would have to engage with the cultivators stationed in the Crystalline Rain Region by the Divine Emperor Kingdom and assure them of his peaceful intentions before being granted access.
This process resembled the one the Twin Snake Clan’s cultivators would undergo, involving interrogation and fees, but for Tang Yin, an unaffiliated cultivator, it would entail fewer steps and no charges.
Even though Tang Yin’s cultivation was only at the Peak-stage of the Principle Comprehension Realm, his Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm physique and abilities allowed him to travel at the speed of a Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
This represented the maximum speed he could attain while utilizing his full capabilities.
As he was nearly certain that one or possibly multiple Law Domain Realm cultivators had already detected his presence and were tracking him, he couldn’t afford to be lax. He needed to employ his maximum speed to reach the Crystalline Rain Region in the shortest time possible.
....
Several Regions away from the Enflamed Desert Region, in a relatively small-sized region, there was a dense forest teeming with crimson-red trees and an eerie, blood-filled atmosphere. Within this eerie setting, five individuals dressed in yellow robes were positioned.
Within this group of five individuals, there were four men and only one woman.
Their robes were a rich shade of yellow, which somehow appeared even more resplendent than gold. Ornate white stripes adorned their yellow garments, lending them an air of royal sophistication.
The most prominent feature of their yellow robes was the snake insignia intricately woven throughout the fabric. This snake design didn’t resemble a traditional insignia, rather, it resembled a continuous pattern that covered the entirety of their yellow robes.
These robes featured two snake patterns, both winding around the torso and arms of the garments. Ultimately, the two snakes met at the neck and seemed to consume each other, forming a distinctive pattern reminiscent of the legendary ouroboros. freewёbnoνel.com
Nearly every cultivator in the Bright Yang Continent recognized that these distinctive yellow robes were exclusive to the Twin Snake Clan.
Another intriguing, albeit somewhat unsettling, aspect of these five individuals was their possession of golden eyes with vertical slit pupils, strikingly resembling those of serpents and snakes. What was more, their tongues were forked, mirroring the distinctive characteristic of a snake’s tongue. freёwebnovel.com
These five individuals were undeniably pureblood members of the Twin Snake Clan!
While the Twin Snake Clan had numerous associates, subsidiaries, and members, purebloods were a rare minority within the entire clan.
These pureblood individuals hailed from the main bloodline branch of the Twin Snake Sovereign, who also held the position of Patriarch within the Twin Snake Clan, and as one of the 10 Sovereigns of the Bright Yang Continent. Depending on the purity of their bloodline, certain purebloods were regarded as direct descendants of the Twin Snake Sovereign himself.
The Twin Snake Clan was essentially divided into two distinct parts.
The first part comprised the clan members who possessed the Twin Snake Clan’s bloodline, regardless of its purity or dilution. These individuals were recognized as the genuine members of the Twin Snake Clan. Those with purer bloodlines were referred to as purebloods, and the members with the most pristine bloodlines, closely linked to the Twin Snake Sovereign, were acknowledged as direct descendants.
The second segment of the Twin Snake Clan consisted of what were commonly referred to as ’outsiders’ by the bloodline clan members. These outsiders were essentially individuals or organizations that the Twin Snake Clan had annexed and transformed into affiliates.
As a clan, the Twin Snake Clan inherently placed greater significance on their own bloodline members compared to the outsiders whom they had compelled to operate under their clan’s banner with force and terror.
Differentiating between a genuine bloodline member and an outsider was relatively straightforward. True bloodline members of the Twin Snake Clan donned distinct yellow robes, the very same ones that these five individuals in the crimson forest were presently attired in.
Nonetheless, the most prominent distinction lay in their eyes and the presence of forked tongues.
The distinct golden eyes, vertical slit pupils, and forked tongues were unique traits shared by those who possessed the Twin Snake Clan’s bloodline and practised the clan’s core cultivation technique, tailor-made for the Twin Snake Martial Spirit.
Regarding the so-called ’outsiders’ within the Twin Snake Clan, they were essentially ordinary cultivators who lacked the Twin Snake Clan’s bloodline. They were individuals who had been absorbed into the clan and forced to become members, often without any other viable alternatives.
Among the five Twin Snake Clan purebloods present, one of the males possessed Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivation, while the other four had only achieved Late-stage or Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivation.
The individual with Law Domain Realm cultivation was a youthful-looking man characterized by smooth golden hair, golden eyes, and the distinctive traits of the Twin Snake Clan’s bloodline. He was adorned in the yellow robes reserved for the true bloodline members of the Twin Snake Clan.
As for the other four individuals, both the three men and the lone woman possessed a youthful and somewhat handsome or beautiful appearance, attributed to their bloodline. Nonetheless, their golden features couldn’t quite rival the Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator in the lead.
Presently, it was evident that they wore expressions of irritation and discontent on their faces. It was clear that they were not relishing in their present situation.
