The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 27 | Kingdom Clan Snake – Meet monk He Xian

When the fruits on their table had been exhausted, the three of them then went towards the cave behind the small town that was heading towards the inner region of the Snake Clan Kingdom to look for the location of the Snake Palace.

Upon entering the cave is quite large, they see in the cave there are a lot of dimly lit passageways and holes along the dimly lit cave walls

“Welcome to the city region within the snake kingdom. Ssshh...” suddenly a snake clan resident approached them.

The snake clan did not like the light very much, so their eyes felt comfortable when the light was dim in the cave which was quite moist.

“Is there anything we can help brother hunter? Ssshh...” ask the resident of the snake clan.

Shan Mui and Chen Yan looked at each other in shock at the friendliness of the snake clan residents. They had previously planned to investigate the Snake Palace secretly before deciding to take out the Snake Mustika.

“Kakak, can you take us to Serpent Palace?” xiaozi asked suddenly

The eyes of Shan Mui and Chen Yan twitched hearing Xiaozi's question, they felt he was too rash this time by asking directly about the Snake Palace to the snake clan's inhabitants.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiaozi's question, the face of the snake clan's occupant shriveled. But then he smiled back.

“So brother wants to visit Snake Palace? Let me deliver. Ssh... But I used to get paid for that big brother. Ssshh...” said the resident of the snake clan who smiled

Xiaozi then took out a gold bar and gave it to the snake clan inhabitants.

“Is this enough” asked Xiaozi

“Size sister. Let me deliver. Ssshh...” sahut the inhabitants of the snake clan with pleasure

“Easy then?” Shan Mui and Chen Yan looked back at each other in disbelief

“All worlds are equal. Everything can be solved with money and gold” Xiaozi whispered to them with a smile

The three of them also walked after the snake clan's occupants who would escort them to the Snake Palace.

Residents of the snake clan took them down the hallway in the cave to a place further into the cave.

The end of the cave seemed a brighter light illuminating the wider cave. In the middle of the vast cave was a snake palace building in the cave that was brightly glowing and quite magnificent.

The three pairs of Xiaozi's eyes, Shan Mui and Chen Yan were amazed at the beauty within the cave.

It appeared to be the residents of the snake clan around the Snake Palace. In front of the palace gate stood two guards who looked around the palace with sharp gazes.

“Do you want to enter the palace? Ssshh...” ask the introduction of the snake clan.

“Can?” ask Xiaozi

“Bby. But it takes gold like that brother. Ssshh...” the foreword

Xiaozi then took back the gold from the snake old grandfather's storage and gave it to the deliveryman.

The introduction then went to approach the two guards in front of the gate then spoke and handed the gold to him while pointing towards the three of them.

Then the delivery came back to the three of them.

“Sister, they have allowed you to enter the Snake Palace. But you only have 20 minutes before their change of guard. Ssshh...” the foreword.

“What happens if we pass that time?” xiaozi asked to clarify

“You will need more gold to pay the next guard. Ssshh...” sahut the introduction.

Xiaozi's eyes twitched hearing the reply from the introduction

“Damn it, this blackmailing his name” Xiaozi muttered in his heart

“Good sister. Ssh... Welcome to the Snake Palace. Remember my message, brother, it's only 20 minutes. I'll wait for my brother in this place. Ssshh...” continue the introduction.

“Thank you big brother” Xiaozi told him

They entered the Snake Palace after the two guards pretended not to see them enter.

As soon as Shan Mui's voice fell, suddenly several snake clans had come and surrounded them with spears in hand and some were carrying arrows in the distance.

Xiaozi's eyes twitched furiously at the sight of many weapons pointing at the three of them.

“Who do you dare to enter the Snake Palace without permission? Ssshh...” asked the guard leader of the snake clan who came to them

Xiaozi thought about considering the possibility if they were to fight all the besiegers from the Snake clan.

Xiaozi recalled about the gold said by the introduction earlier. He took out the gold and gave it to the guard leader.

The eyes of the guard leader changed at that moment. He took the gold given by Xiaozi, checked it and then kept it.

“Catch them. They're trying to bribe the guards. Ssshh...” said the leader.

“This gold we confiscate for evidence. Ssshh...” he continued.

“Sialang. We do not know the location of Mustika Snake but have been captured by them” Xiaozi muttered annoyed in his heart

Xiaozi then looked towards Shan Mui who was shaking her head. So Xiaozi decided to undo his intention to fight back.

“Ah, alright” Xiaozi muttered in his heart which then did not give any resistance.

“Put them in jail. Ssshh...” shouted the guard leader.

They then led Xiaozi and his friends to the dungeon and locked them there.

Then the guards left the three of them in the detention room.

“Shan Mui, what will we do now?” chen Yan asked Shan Mui

“Xiaozi, why didn't you attack them earlier?” shan Mui asked annoyedly at Xiaozi

Xiaozi stared confusedly at Shan Mui.

“Not you shook your head to prevent me from attacking?” xiaozi

Shan Mui held onto her forehead then sighed slowly

“I just shook my head in regret we have been deceived by the snake clan since arriving at this snake palace” Shan Mui said

“Ah, I misread the code from you” Xiaozi said

......

“Have you guys been cheated by the snake clan as well?” suddenly a voice sounded in the holding room next to them

A man the same age as them sat cross-legged in the detention room next to them. His head was bald like a meditating priest.

“Who are you?” chen Yan asked the man

“My name is He Xian” said the man was short

“Are you here too for being tricked by them?” shan Mui asked He Xian

He Xian then stood up and walked over to their adjoining detention room.

“You answered my question by asking back” He Xian said coldly

“True. We have been deceived by the introduction of the snake clan. Have you also been tricked by them?” shan Mui Sahut

“They can't fool me” said the man named He Xian calmly

The three pairs of eyes twitched together to hear He Xian's reply
