Chapter 1097
Old Ophis smacked his lips in satisfaction and casually asked, “Old Hagstorm, what brings you here?”
He continued to fill the wine cup while asking nonchalantly. The two of them each had their own tasks and rarely
met, so Old Hagstorm must have an intention in mind for coming here.
Old Hagstorm grinned and said, “What brings me here? It can’t possibly be because of you. I’m here because…”
Old Hagstorm teased briefly before saying solemnly, “Of course, it’s to unseal and release the demon snake.”
“What did you say?”
Old Ophis‘ hand shook at those words, spilling some wine on the table. His expression instantly became extremely
serious.
He stared deeply at Old Hagstorm’s eyes. His eyes narrowed, glints of light flickering inside. Then, he repeated, “Old
Hagstorm, are you saying you want me to unseal and release the demon snake? Do you know what you’re
saying?!”
The demon snake!
It was like a taboo, a matter of great importance. Just the mention of it caused Old Ophis‘ expression to change
drastically.
“Of course.” Old Hagstorm’s expression was solemn, staring at Old Ophis‘ eyes without a hint of humor. He
repeated, “I want you to unseal and release the demon snake.”
“I want to use the demon snake to resurrect the Demon Emperor for the Young Master, paving the way for him to
reach the peak of cultivation and seize the opportunity for supreme immortality.
At Old Hagstorm’s words, Old Ophis continued to stare at him stiffly.
At that moment, the snowstorm on Mount Valdez seemed to weaken, leaving only the trail of Old Hagstorm’s voice.
“No.”
After a moment of silence, Old Ophis shook his head slowly, “The Young Master’s current strength is still too weak.
He’s far from meeting the requirements of the plan. He can’t kill the demon snake.

be ruined in an instant. At that time, both you and I will be sinners.”
“I disagree.”
Old Hagstorm seemed to have expected those thoughts and was not surprised upon hearing the words.
“Old Ophis, I have no intention of letting the Young Master kill the demon snake.
Old Hagstorm’s explanation took Old Ophis by surprise. However, instead of
He was an old man whose snowy hair spread out in all directions, resembling a lion’s mane. His face was rosy, but
on his right cheek was a winding scar shaped like a small snake, eerie and strange, hence earning him the name
Old Ophis.
“Old Hagstorm.”
Old Ophis looked at Old Hagstorm and shook his head with a smile. Then, with a wave of his right hand, a table flew
over from the hut and landed between them.
Soon after, two wooden chairs followed.
“It’s rare for you to come over to my place. I’ll treat you to snow and wind as food and wine as drinks. What do you
think?”
As he spoke, a wine jug flew out of the hut and landed steadily between them.
“Good, good!” Old Hagstorm laughed heartily, his laughter echoing far in the snowstorm.
Splish…
Splish…
Old Ophis chuckled and poured a cup for Old Hagstorm and himself. The surface of the wine was quickly covered
by snowflakes, creating a unique taste.
“Cheers!” Old Ophis lifted his cup first.
Old Hagstorm also lifted his cup and downed the drink. “Hiss- Ahh…‘

Old Hagstorm’s explanation took Old Ophis by surprise. However, instead of asking
immediately, he frowned and waited for Old Hagstorm to finish speaking.
“Now, the Ancient Martial Assembly is approaching, and powerful figures from the martial world will gather at
Valdez Village. Many mid- and late–stage Martial Gods will also come out of seclusion. Among them is the ambitious
Insect Ruler, who thinks he has the whole of Florence in his palm.
“With the help of these people, it’s enough to kill the demon snake. After all, it has been sealed for many years, and
its strength is less than a tenth of what it used to be.
“At that time, we can still allow the Insect Ruler to obtain the demon snake’s heart and carry it deep into the
cordillera to revive the Demon Emperor.
“Master’s plan can still proceed as usual without any flaws.”
Old Ophis fell silent. He was considering the feasibility of this plan. This matter was crucial to the master’s many
years of planning, so he could not afford to be careless.
After a moment, he looked up and stared at Old Hagstorm, asking in a low voice, “Old Hagstorm, do
you really have full confidence that everything will go according to your plan?
“It’s easy to unseal and release the demon snake.
“As long as everything goes as you plan, and everyone works together to kill the demon snake, then the Insect Ruler
takes the demon snake’s heart to the cordillera to resurrect the Demon Emperor, everything will be fine.
“However…
“If something goes wrong in the middle, we won’t have a second chance.” Old Ophis did not dare to take it lightly
and asked for confirmation repeatedly.
