Chapter 995: Chapter 963: Lending a Helping Hand

Zhang Renmo sighed upon hearing the words, then quickly replied.

"We discovered a Tier Three Python, but we’re not sure if there are more Tier Three Pythons lurking around."

"Additionally, there are at least ten Tier Two Demon Snakes, and as for Tier One Demon Snakes, there are four to five hundred in number."

"We haven’t done a detailed count of the ordinary Poison Snakes, which are insignificant. We estimated there are at least thirty thousand of them."

Song Minghui nodded slowly and said, "A single Tier Three Python is not difficult to handle; even if a few more appear, it won’t be a problem. Our Cyan Mountain Sect will take responsibility for this snake nest crisis, but I need to report to our Sect Leader first; we can’t act on our own accord."

"That’s natural, that’s natural!"

Seeing the willingness of the Cyan Mountain Sect to help, Zhang Renmo showed a look of joy and nodded repeatedly.

Leaving Zhang Renmo to wait in the Elder Hall, Song Minghui went to find Lu Yuanshan and explained the situation thoroughly.

Lu Yuanshan understood the importance of the situation and wouldn’t stand idly by, letting numerous cultivation clans under him feel disheartened, so he assigned Song Minghui to handle the matter.

"You lead the team to settle this matter. Arrange the personnel as needed."

"Yes."

Song Minghui responded respectfully.

That day, she organized her team, invited Zhang Nianchuan to join the action, and led a team of fifty Foundation Establishment disciples.

After organizing the travel team, she returned to the Elder Hall and gave Zhang Renmo a reply.

Learning that two Crystallization Stage Cultivators and fifty Foundation Establishment Cultivators were leading the way, Zhang Renmo was relieved and followed Song Minghui and others out of Cyan Lotus Mountain, flying towards Red Mist Mountain that day.

Days of continuous rain caused the river water level around Red Mist Mountain to rise, submerging many areas on either side of the river plains.

A simple rise in water level and increase in river water is easy for cultivators to handle; sending out a dozen Water Attribute Cultivators to harness Water Magic can consolidate these water sources into a new lake, thereby resolving the flood issue.

However, this time, numerous Poison Snakes spread along the river to various villages, posing a deadly threat to the common folk, not to be taken lightly.

These days, the Zhang Family of Red Mist Mountain has been busy cleaning up these Poison Snakes, overwhelmed with work. When the strong forces of Cyan Mountain Sect arrived, the top members of the Zhang Family immediately came out to welcome them.

The group entered Red Mist Mountain and sat in the large hall of the family.

Since the situation frequently changes, it might not be exactly like two days ago in terms of the number of demon beasts or the flood situation, so constant attention and reporting are needed.

In charge of intelligence and monitoring is the Zhang Family’s Fifth Elder, Zhang Renyi, who has been stationed around the Snake Cave these days, using Divine Sense and Magical Artifacts to constantly monitor the dynamics within the Snake Cave.

Upon meeting Song Minghui and the disciples of Cyan Mountain Sect, Zhang Renyi spoke frankly: "According to the investigation these two days, the information differs slightly from before. The snake nest isn’t only harboring a Tier Three Python; we discovered a new Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Snake named Poison Fire Snake."

"Another Tier Three Demon Snake!"

Upon hearing, Zhang Renmo raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but glance at Song Minghui and the disciples of the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Previously, he had reported that there was only one Tier Three Python.

Now, there’s another one, not to mention whether the Cyan Mountain Sect would think they were deliberately hiding the enemy’s situation.

The key point is that the Poison Fire Snake is full of poison, making it more difficult to handle than demon beasts of the same tier.

From the Cyan Mountain Sect, only two Crystallization Stage Cultivators were sent; can they handle it?

While the high-ranking members of the Zhang Family exchanged worried glances, fearing that Song Minghui and others would frown and blame them for unclear intelligence, Song Minghui spoke first. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"One more Tier Three demon beast is not a problem; Senior Brother Zhang and I can handle it."

With that, Song Minghui directed her gaze toward Zhang Renmo and others.

"However, as you said, the snake nest has many demon snakes. This area is under your Red Mist Mountain’s jurisdiction; it’s upon you to resolve this matter first."

"Now, encountering Tier Three demon beasts that’s difficult to handle, our Cyan Mountain Sect can assist you, but as for the other Tier One demon beasts, it would be best if you put in more effort yourselves."

"Indeed."

Zhang Nianchuan, who had remained silent, spoke at this time.

"To resolve the snake nest crisis, it can’t just be our Cyan Mountain Sect’s effort; your clan should deploy more personnel to deal with demon snakes below Tier Two. This task isn’t difficult for you, and it’s not that the whole matter should rely solely on our Cyan Mountain Sect."

With Cyan Mountain Sect stepping up to resolve the biggest threat, as for demon beasts below Tier Two, given the Zhang Family’s strength, it can indeed be managed well.

Therefore, even though the Zhang Family’s high-ranking members complained internally, hoping to rely on the Cyan Mountain Sect to quickly eliminate the Snake Cave, it seems they still have to exert significant effort themselves, and upon further consideration of Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan’s words, indeed, they must put in more effort.

"Then let’s do as the two elders say."

said Zhang Renmo.

"Now, let’s arrange personnel; your Zhang Family should send out a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators and ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators to act. This personnel will facilitate the action, given there are so many demon snakes."

"Let’s begin organizing personnel now."

Song Minghui gave a precise command.

Zhang Renmo and others had no objections to this. Regarding family cultivators, there are a total of two hundred fifty-five people, including twenty-one Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

That day, Zhang Renmo organized the personnel, with a total of one hundred and ten cultivators assembling in the square outside the hall, with the lowest cultivation level being the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

"Time is of the essence; let’s head straight to the snake nest without delay."

Seeing the Zhang Family cultivators fully assembled, Song Minghui said.

"Elder Song is right."

Zhang Renmo quickly replied, then looked at the top members of the family, instructing them to follow Song Minghui’s commands in the next steps.

At noon that day, the group flew towards the snake nest.

The location of the snake nest was only about a hundred miles from Red Mist Mountain, where a small town, Red Cloud City, was established. At this time, more than ten Zhang Family cultivators were working hard to clear demon snakes.

The river connecting the snake nest is named Cyan River, extending into Red Cloud City and supplying the citizens’ daily water. Now, numerous demon snakes are active in the water, making citizens afraid to casually step into the river.

There are so many snakes here that demon snakes keep appearing on the city streets occasionally.

Song Minghui’s group followed Cyan River upstream, passing through Red Cloud City, during which they saw many ordinary snakes, which are so common that not only cultivators but even secular mortals can clean them up.

Upon arriving at the mid-stream area of the Cyan River, under Zhang Renmo’s guidance, the Snake Cave quickly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
