Leaving the Gama Empire
Even with the abilities Xiao Yan currently possessed, what he was talking about sounded like a fantastical story.
Suddenly, Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan with surprise in her beautiful eyes, her small mouth slightly open, and asked in astonishment, "So, you conquered Maple City to gain a foothold in the chaotic Black-Corner Region!?"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, confirming Ya Fei's guess, and said, "The Black-Corner Region is a magical place. Its location dictates its chaos. It's where all the black market goods on the Dou Qi Continent are traded, and the daily traffic is probably more terrifying than even Central State."
Hearing this, Ya Fei nodded gently. Although she had never been to the Black-Corner Region, the Mittel Auction House had already been established in Maple City. From the data and goods coming from the Black-Corner Region auction house, she knew how terrifying this place was.
Especially now that Han Feng was dead, and Xiao Yan, the 'Medicine God' of the Black-Corner Region, had taken over, joining forces with the three major powers to protect it, Maple City's security was very high. Even in the Black-Corner Region, it was considered one of the top cities.
"I have a force in Canaan Academy, including a subordinate Medicine Gang organization, all of whom are Alchemists. Although I can't guarantee it 100%, I think many Alchemists from the Inner Academy's Medicine Gang will come to Maple City after graduation... no, to my Xiao City," Xiao Yan said ambitiously.
Before he left, he performed Pill Refining in the Inner Academy and taught Pill Refining techniques, not only to repay Canaan Academy but also to keep his name alive in the Inner Academy. He even hinted to the Medicine Gang members that if they wanted to improve their Pill Refining skills, they should go to Xiao City, his city.
Some Medicine Gang Alchemists without backgrounds would naturally think of Xiao City first after graduation.
Xiao Yan took out a Storage Ring and placed it on the table, saying slowly, "Inside are some Medicinal Herbs that I don't need and some pills I've refined, ranging from First Grade to Sixth Grade."
"You want me to hold a pill auction at the Mittel Auction House in Xiao City, and then use your name to attract those Medicine Gang Alchemists and the free Alchemists of the Black-Corner Region?" Ya Fei, as the woman in control of Mittel Auction House, quickly understood Xiao Yan's intentions.
Ya Fei also understood what Xiao Yan was setting up.
Smiling, Xiao Yan nodded in affirmation. It was effortless to talk to smart people.
Xiao Yan had big ambitions. He wanted to turn his Xiao City into a holy land for Alchemists in the Black-Corner Region, gathering both the righteous and the wicked in Xiao City!
"I should have done these things myself, but if I did, it would be too conspicuous, so..."
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, a jade finger pressed against his lips. Ya Fei said gently, "Since Hai Lao has given you half of his Mittel Auction House, you naturally have the right to decide the future direction of the Mittel Auction House."
"And..."
Ya Fei's pretty face flushed, and a strange look flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Both of them thought of what Hai Bo Dong had said about betrothing Ya Fei to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan stammered, "About that matter..."
At that moment, a fragrant breeze wafted over, a fragrance that refreshed the heart and lungs, a faint scent that made one feel like they were smelling the freshness of the morning, instantly making one feel relaxed and refreshed.
Ya Fei's beautiful hair gently brushed past Xiao Yan's nose as she leaned into his arms, instantly making Xiao Yan feel a sense of softness. Graceful and beautiful, draped in a light robe, Ya Fei, already hot in her nightgown, was like a peach blossom fairy.
Her jade hand gently stroked Xiao Yan's cheek, the warmth of her palm sending a jolt through Xiao Yan's heart.
"I know that the most important person in your heart is Xun Er. With your talent and strength, the Gama Empire is not where you should stay. I can't accompany you to the ends of the earth, but I'm glad there are things I can do to help you," Ya Fei said softly, each word entering Xiao Yan's heart.
Her voice was so gentle, so soft, as if afraid of startling Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms. Which man in Wutan City hadn't fantasized about Ya Fei? If others saw this scene, they would be driven mad with jealousy.
To have such good fortune, to be treated so well by Ya Fei.
But at this moment, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. As Ya Fei said, Xun Er occupied too important a place in his heart. Even if Xun Er had left, and he might never see her again in his life, unable to reach the status and strength recognized by the Gu Clan.
Xiao Yan's heart was still set on the Gu Clan.
Seeing the struggle in Xiao Yan's eyes, Ya Fei also knew when to advance and retreat, and slowly stood up. She had already overstepped her bounds.
"I'll accept this ring for now."
"I'll wait for you in Wutan City, until you've completed everything."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly, nodded, and left without lingering.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yan looked around but didn't see Ya Fei come to see him off. He took the others and sat on the back of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, flying towards the Border Region of the Flame Alliance, leaving Gama Holy City.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?" After seeing Xiao Yan off, Hai Bo Dong asked, sitting in a chair in Ya Fei's office.
Ya Fei gently brushed her hair and took out a pill from her Storage Ring. A Sixth Grade pill, the Youth Preservation Pill, could keep ordinary people young forever and slow down the aging of the body.
"He's already told me everything he needed to say."
...
Above the endless plains, two extremely towering mountain ranges pierced the sky. These towering mountains were difficult for ordinary people to climb. In the gap between the two mountain ranges, a huge fortress guarded the area, like a prehistoric beast, guarding the main road from the Snake-People Empire to the outside world. This fortress was the most important defense line of the Snake-People Empire. If this defense line were breached, not only the Snake-People Empire but also the Gama Empire behind it would be driven straight in by the iron hooves of the Three Great Empires' armies!
The area of the fortress was astonishingly large. The fortress walls were made of black volcanic rock, which had an extremely terrifying strength. Even the attacks of a Dou Huang expert could be resisted for a long time. Above the city walls, dense armies could be seen everywhere, and even countless huge crossbows were faintly visible. On the crossbows, steel arrows as thick as a person's thigh had already been equipped, ready to unleash their amazing power at any time. Under the defense of this countless army, this defense line could be said to be impregnable. Even if it was the alliance of the Three Great Empires, if they wanted to break through it by force, they would have to pay a bloody price before they could tear it apart! In the center of the city walls, several figures stood there. At this moment, their eyes were all looking with a trace of worry at the extremely distant place outside the fortress. There, dense armies stretched out like dark clouds, and at a glance, they could not see the end. From the huge flags rising from those armies, there were three flags with different patterns. The Three Great Empires were attacking together.
Of course, what worried them the most was not these ordinary armies, but the Dou Huang experts hidden in the armies. In the eyes of true experts, ordinary armies were not a great threat. As long as it was a Fighting King expert, they could easily resist an army of ten thousand people. This was why experts had a status above royal power on the continent! On the Dou Qi Continent, the strong were supreme, and royal power was secondary!
"Alas, I heard that the Great Elder of the Golden Goose Sect and a Dou Huang Elder from Mulan Valley are leading the troops this time. The Poison Sect has hidden their news, and I heard that the Great Elder of the Poison Sect is leading the team." One of the leaders of the Snake-People Empire's eight major tribes looked into the distance for a moment, then slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed.
Now that the Snake-People Empire has joined the Flame Alliance, thanks to the alliance, some of its people have moved to live on the mountain ranges owned by the Yunlan Sect. Furthermore, after the alliance, the Gama Empire and the Snake-People Empire have engaged in trade, bringing many goods and medicinal pills to the Snake-People Race, improving their lives.
However, with Medusa absent, the Three Great Empires are eyeing the Snake-People Empire covetously, eager to devour this piece of fat meat in one bite.
Initially, it was just minor skirmishes, with teams led by Fighting Kings, but the Fighting Kings of the Three Great Empires were no match for Nalan Yanran, leading them to abandon Martial Morality and send Dou Huang powerhouses into the fray.
The Flame Alliance has been restraining itself, always meeting the enemy with equal strength, fearing that the scale of the war would escalate.
"We sent people to the Gama Empire for help yesterday. If they receive the message, they will surely come to our aid, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. I fear that by the time the reinforcements arrive, the situation will have changed," another tribal leader sighed softly.
They had not expected that with only half a year left until the Sect Assembly, the Three Great Empires would dare to act in such a way. Were they not afraid that the war would hinder their performance in the Sect Assembly and invite invasion from other empires?
After all, there are also powerful countries around the Three Great Empires!
All the Snake-People tribal leaders couldn't help but look at the peerless and dignified woman beside them, the only Dou Huang on the entire Border Region.
"Yun Yun Sect Leader, this battle..."
Yun Yun looked at the dark mass of troops in front of her, her powerful perception sweeping over them, and said, "Two low-level Dou Huangs."
If it were just two low-level Dou Huangs, with Yun Yun's current strength as a Six-Star Dou Huang, taking on two opponents would not be a problem. But don't forget, the Chuyun Empire is stronger than the other two empires, especially the Poison Sect, they couldn't possibly not have Dou Huangs.
Yun Yun's talent is much higher than Hai Bo Dong's. It took Hai Bo Dong two years to raise one star to reach Seven-Star Dou Huang, but Yun Yun raised three stars.
After the Xiao Clan took over the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun directly became a hands-off manager, which gave her more time to cultivate.
The faces of several Snake-People leaders with Fighting King strength became much more solemn. The oldest leader, Yin Shi, said, "We can join forces and use the terrain to resist other Fighting Kings, but the Dou Huangs... perhaps we can only rely on you, Yun Yun Sect Leader."
"Now that everyone has formed an alliance, we share the same fate. Any loss on one side will lead to a disastrous outcome," Yun Yun said softly.
Suddenly, a thunderous drumbeat spread from afar, sweeping across the entire fortress.
"They're starting to attack!" Hearing the urgent drumbeat, Yun Yun and the others' expressions turned solemn.
Soon after the drumbeat resounded, the earth began to tremble. The vast sea of people, stretching as far as the eye could see, surged towards the fortress like a wave. The rumbling sound of footsteps echoed in the sky like thunder, giving people an extremely heavy mental pressure.
"Warriors of all Snake-People tribes! Defend our homeland, kill!!"
As the fortress entered a state of combat readiness, the dark mass of people surged forward amidst the deafening cries of battle. In the sky above this sea of people, streaks of light flew, obviously the Fighting King powerhouses of the Three Great Empires, the roles that put the most pressure on the fortress.
When the endless stream of people was still nearly a thousand meters away from the fortress, they suddenly crouched down, and two streams of soaring Dou Huang aura emanated from them, directly enveloping the entire fortress!
"Hehe, Flame Alliance, it seems you're nothing more than this. Snake-People Empire, why don't you rely on our Luoyan Empire? As long as you offer a sufficient number of snake slaves every year, we guarantee you'll live in luxury," an old man wearing Luoyan Sect clothes said, his eyes greedily scanning the Snake-People female warriors on the city wall.
Another Dou Huang stared sharply at the pavilion in the center of the fortress, his voice filled with Dou Qi as he said in a deep voice, "Yun Yun, your disciple killed my disciple, today I will make you pay with blood!"
"These shameless guys, how can they be Dou Huang powerhouses and bully the weak with numbers!" Several Yunlan Sect Fighting Kings who had come with Yun Yun looked at the two old men who had appeared in the sky with ugly expressions, unable to restrain their angry curses.
Yun Yun stopped the furious elders and said, "You stay in the fortress to stop the Fighting Kings who fly in. I will stop those two."
The design of the fortress can only be used to stop people below the Fighting King level. After all, those above the Fighting King level can fly and can directly cross the city wall. Therefore, those Fighting Kings must not be allowed to fly into the fortress and start killing.
The terrifying aura of a Six-Star Dou Huang exploded from Yun Yun's body, and a pair of Wings of Wind appeared behind her. In an instant, Yun Yun flew into the sky above the fortress like a green meteor, holding her Personal Sword, her Soul locked onto the two.
"Hehe, Yun Yun Sect Leader, don't blame us for being impolite. After all, your cultivation is higher than both of ours. If we don't join forces, I'm afraid no one can really do anything to you," Luo Yan Cai, the Great Elder of the Luoyan Sect, said, his golden goose wings fluttering slightly behind him, making excuses for himself.
Yun Yun didn't say anything, the sword in her hand slowly stirring up a whirlwind. She was not the kind of person who liked to talk anyway.
"To be a Six-Star Dou Huang at such an age, your talent and your disciple's talent are both so terrifying. But, geniuses are always prone to dying young, today I will avenge my disciple!" Mu Lan Tianhua said viciously.
Unlike the Gama Empire and the Chuyun Empire, the Mulan Empire and the Luoyan Empire are controlled by the strongest sects in the country, Mulan Valley and Luoyan Sect, and are sect empires.
Seeing Yun Yun's awe-inspiring appearance, Mu Lan Tianhua and Luo Yan Cai exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of ruthlessness in each other's eyes. They are only Three-Star Dou Huangs, and they can only defeat Yun Yun by joining forces.
Whoosh, whoosh! The two exploded with speed, holding weapons in their hands, flanking Yun Yun from the left and right.
