My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 925: The Ancestor Is Fierce

Old Zhao admitted blandly, "My daughter is arrogant and willful. Ever since handing over the Ten Thousand Poison Hall to her, she’s been recklessly causing trouble."

While the two of them chatted, I kept observing the underground.

The underground had been dug out by Old Zhao to retrieve the Glazed Bottle, creating a massive deep pit.

Inside the deep pit were intricate root systems, with roots connecting to these vines reaching skyward. The truly powerful part wasn’t these thick vines but the stubborn roots buried underground.

This was the first time I saw Lan Shaotang’s roots...

I had never thought before coming here that buried beneath the old city...

it would be roots instead of vines!!

"I understand now!! Lan Shaotang hid his roots in the old city. As long as these roots aren’t destroyed, he’ll never die or be annihilated." I said, thinking killing Lan Shaotang’s body only weakens him, surprised it’s due to the roots being intact, "So attacking these skyward vines is useless, and you’ll be half-dead being tortured by them, but as long as the roots are destroyed, he’s completely finished!"

Even someone like Old Zhao, an Immortal with no immortal body, has his power greatly reduced.

Facing the vines developed from Lan Shaotang’s roots, he inevitably retreats and can do nothing against the giant vines.

It’s not surprising, as Lan Shaotang’s real power is gathered in his roots.

He accumulated so much strength using Evil Arts, it would be odd if fighting him weren’t arduous.

If it weren’t for my heavenly fire, he wouldn’t need to fear me at all.

"Take care of her for me." Yu Longting did something he’d never done before, pushing me toward Old Zhao!!

Me: !!!!!

Old Zhao nodded understandingly and led me around behind a wall.

Behind that wall was a transparent barrier, suspended by a dazzling Glazed Bottle at the top.

Within the barrier squatted Bai Zanhe, bored and drawing circles in place.

Noticing us approaching.

She stood up, looking over with a puzzled expression.

The next second, Old Zhao directly tossed me into the barrier.

"Hey, I don’t want to stay in the barrier, I’m telling you, I can fight..." I was just about to charge out, only to crash as if into glass, my nose smashing painfully, "Ow, how is the barrier closed?? Old Zhao, you’re abetting the wicked, do I look in need of protection?"

"Snake Lord, help her." Old Zhao was quite loyal, grabbing a blade and went to assist.

Yu Longting unleashed four talisman papers of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning. The power contained in each talisman reached the Earth Immortal Level, far stronger than any talisman I could produce by thousands of times.

This was the first time I realized Yu Longting actually had such overwhelming power.

Old Zhao stood directly behind Yu Longting, his palm pressed against Yu Longting’s back.

Centered on Old Zhao’s palm, a massive Gathering Spirit formation woven from golden threads appeared, as Old Zhao borrowed cultivation from Yu Longting.

"Su Wan, you... you and Snake Lord, you know our ancestor?" Bai Zanhe initiated a conversation, "Did you know from the beginning I was working for the ancestor?"

My gaze remained fixed at the deep pit, unmoving, "Yes, the stick you held then belonged to Old Zhao."

"That’s the Heavenly Track, which can measure the world, but the ancestor gave it to me just to urge me to work faster." Bai Zanhe pouted, clearly disliking being hurried by the Heavenly Track. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

I glanced at the stick Bai Zanhe took out, barely as long as a chopstick, hard to associate it with measuring the world, "I mean, when you saw the stick color change, you got nervous like that, Old Zhao seems to have a temper with subordinates."

"The ancestor is very fierce, his temper quick, even a slight delay angers him. Helping him feels like racing against time." Bai Zanhe sighed, "And working like this, I don’t even get paid."

If it weren’t a crisis now, I might be amused by Bai Zanhe’s little girl complaints.

Meanwhile, Old Zhao and Yu Longting were charging the four talismans, and during the charging, the vines constantly attacked them trying to interrupt.

The two of them couldn’t move, only slightly blocking, their bodies covered in wounds from Poison Ivy’s lashes, miserable to the extreme.

"Yu Longting..." my heart tightened, worried the Poison Ivy would seize the chance, like an arrow, to stab Yu Longting, "You must be careful."
