Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 615: Chapter 593: The People of Wencheng Go Crazy

As an imposing snake’s roar echoed, the sky above the overrun zone was instantly blotted out by dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, creating a terrifying spectacle.

A colossal, golden snake writhed in the sky, its majestic and terrifying Snake King aura flooding the land without restraint.

Suddenly, from a distance, the citizens of Wencheng stared in astonishment at the shimmering golden serpent, too shocked for words.

”What a majestic giant snake! Could this be the Bai Town Snake King?”

Someone among the citizens said in a daze, their eyes wide with disbelief.

”It’s the Bai Town Snake King! It’s come to Wencheng! It’s here to save the people of Wencheng!” someone suddenly shouted in excitement.

The Bai Town Snake King was now famous. Its battle against a hundred-odd Fierce Beasts to save the thousand-year-old ancient town was a story that had spread throughout the entire Wencheng region.

Many citizens had become believers in the Bai Town Snake King, setting up altars in their homes to burn incense and worship it.

”What is it planning to do? Does it really intend to wipe out all the Fierce Beasts in the overrun zone by itself?”

The number of Fierce Beasts in the overrun zone was many times greater than in Bai Town, and each one was larger than a thirty-story skyscraper.

The citizens of Wencheng felt as if the very sky over the overrun zone was about to collapse. A suffocating pressure washed over them. All eyes, wide with terror, were fixed on the colossal, golden snake, and that terror slowly transformed into adoration.

There was no doubt that to the common folk, the colossal snake coiled in the sky was a being akin to a Divine Spirit, wielding terrifying power.

Videos of the colossal snake’s invincible display in Bai Town—where it had annihilated over a hundred Fierce Beasts at once—were still circulating online.

The people of Bai Town had survived. Now that the Snake King had come to Wencheng, did that mean its people could survive as well?

Imperceptibly, many citizens had pinned their hopes of survival on this colossal snake—a seemingly ridiculous notion.

Humanity was supposed to have its own superheroes.

But the world had changed. As long as someone could save them, people didn’t care if their savior was a snake or a Dragon.

All that mattered was that it could save them and protect their homes.

「Wencheng Safe Zone, Demon Management Bureau.」

Several dozen people were seated in a spacious, brightly lit reception hall. They were all Wencheng’s most prominent figures. Their ranks included the director and team leaders of the Bureau, high-ranking members of the Ancient Academy, and even the heads of the hidden families.

One could say that the people in this room represented the entirety of Wencheng’s Martial Cultivation Realm hierarchy.

They had all been gathered to discuss a grand plan to eliminate the Fierce Beasts, but then a giant snake appeared on the large screen at the front, writhing in the sky above the overrun zone.

The moment the image appeared, everyone was shocked, and their expressions became inscrutable.

In the seat of honor was Wu Tianyi, the director of the Demon Management Bureau. He was the most powerful figure in Wencheng and represented the state apparatus.

When Wu Tianyi saw the colossal snake on the screen, his entire body shuddered violently. A fear born from the very depths of his soul surged through him, and he nearly dropped to his knees before the screen in full view of everyone.

’He’s back... He actually came back.’ Wu Tianyi had almost managed to forget that he was a certain snake’s War Servant. An unwelcome memory flashed through his mind.

He saw himself kneeling before a delicate-featured young man, crying out, ”Your servant, Wu Tianyi, greets you, Master!”

Wu Tianyi gritted his teeth. He was a Peak figure in charge of all of Wencheng, a peerless powerhouse at Level 37. And yet, he was the War Servant of a snake.

Who would have ever imagined that the most powerful man in Wencheng had actually become a snake’s War Servant?

If this news were to leak, he would be forced to step down.

One could say that Wu Tianyi no longer belonged to the country, but to a snake. Such a person was clearly unfit to remain the director of the Demon Management Bureau.

He was merely a puppet.

At that moment, the feed on the screen switched to the crowds of citizens. They were all cheering for the Bai Town Snake King, not afraid in the slightest and, in fact, visibly ecstatic.

”Hmph. Some ’Bai Town Snake King.’ It’s nothing but a Snake Demon. Did it come from the Yaoling Mountain Range?”

A family head spoke up with a cold snort. ”Only the ignorant masses would treat a snake that has achieved sentience through cultivation like a Divine Spirit.”

They knew exactly what was really going on.

”Demons that gain sentience are always incredibly cunning. What is this Snake Demon after? Is it really going to challenge all the Fierce Beasts in the overrun zone?”

”If it’s willing to risk its life for Wencheng unconditionally, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

”Hmph. I’d say this Snake Demon is extremely ambitious. It probably wants to play the part of Wencheng’s savior. Is it even worthy? Does it really think Wencheng has no one capable of stopping it?”

These powerful figures had all more or less seen the video from Bai Town. Even those who hadn’t seen it had heard the stories.

The thousand-year-old ancient town, abandoned by the government, should have been destroyed. Yet, it was saved by a snake that manifested there.

This left many of the big shots in the Martial Cultivation Realm feeling disgruntled. The common people were putting their faith in a snake—how were they supposed to stomach that?

The reception hall buzzed with discussion. The senior representative from the Ancient Academy, its vice-dean, also felt a storm rage in his heart when he saw the colossal snake on the screen.

’I never thought this snake would become so terrifying.’

Five days ago, the vice-dean had been successfully reunited with his granddaughter. When he asked her how she had escaped from the clutches of the White Demon King...

His granddaughter had told him a great deal about what happened in the Yaoling Mountain Range, but what shocked him most was that the White Demon King had been killed.

Killed by the very Snake Spirit he had sent into the Yaoling Mountain Range.
