After departing from the Green Mountain Town, Xiao Yan dashed towards the direction of the Black Mountain Fortress mentioned by Nalan Yanran. Behind him, Zi Yan closely followed. Having broken through to the level of Battle Emperor, Xiao Yan’s flying speed was significantly faster than before. His figure sliced through the sky like a meteor, and in a few blinks of an eye, he vanished from the horizon. Even if someone occasionally glanced at the sky, they would only catch a glimpse of the fleeting light.
Xiao Yan propelled his flying speed to the extreme, his face covered with a sullen expression. The events in the Jia Ma Empire were completely unexpected, and in retrospect, he felt a chill. Fortunately, Medusa had intervened, or else the Flame Alliance and the Jia Ma Empire might have been obliterated by the Misty Cloud Empire. Before the Soul Temple could even make a move, his family, the Xiao Clan, would have been exterminated without mercy. “Poison Sect…” The fierce wind blew against Xiao Yan’s hair, baring his unusually icy black eyes. Dragons have inverse scales; anyone who touches them is doomed. For Xiao Yan, his inverse scales were his loved ones. Whoever dared to touch them would certainly pay a hundredfold!
Behind Xiao Yan, Zi Yan noticed his grim expression and cautiously stuck out her tongue, no longer daring to be mischievous. She simply tried her best to match his speed and follow closely. With their current velocity, traversing the entire Jia Ma Empire would not take too long. Therefore, after flying for about two hours, the undulating mountains around them gradually flattened, and the vast sandy plains appeared in their sight. When the plains came into view, Xiao Yan sighed in relief. Since they were approaching the plains, the Black Mountain Fortress must be nearby. Along this frantic flight, Xiao Yan saw many refugees. It was clear that the current situation in the Jia Ma Empire was causing despair. After all, the alliance of the three great empires was overwhelmingly powerful. A leaderless Flame Alliance and Medusa alone were clearly insufficient to carry the load. Gazing at the frightened escapees, Xiao Yan’s mood grew even darker. This was the first time he had seen such a scene in the Jia Ma Empire in many years, and the creators were the alliance of the three empires! Narrowing his eyes, a cold gleam flashed, and Xiao Yan clenched his fists. Spreading his pointed wings, his flying speed suddenly surged again…
On the boundless, sparsely populated plains, a faint whistling sound abruptly echoed in the sky. Two streams of light suddenly flashed across, and when they appeared, they halted abruptly. Then, two figures, one large and one small, appeared in the sky.
“What’s wrong?” Zi Yan asked in confusion, hadn’t he just been in a hurry?
“Three strong auras are nearby. The one in front is clearly fleeing, and the two following auras seem to be pursuing,” Xiao Yan furrowed his brows and glanced toward the north. He hesitated for a moment before unleashing his soul perception. In a brief moment, he sensed the situation unfolding far away. “Are those from the Snake People tribe?” Swiftly withdrawing his soul perception, Xiao Yan saw clearly that the person in front was a Dou Wang from the Snake People, pursued by two unknown but undoubtedly not Jia Ma Empire warriors. Moreover, to his surprise, the escaping Dou Wang was a familiar face. Recalling an old incident, a strange expression flickered across Xiao Yan’s face. Regardless of everything, the Snake People were now allies of the Jia Ma Empire, and for the sake of the colorful-scaled Medusa, he should aid them. … Moon Mei found herself in a rather pitiful state. For the first time in years, she was experiencing such frantic and helpless escapades, gifted by the two blue-clothed pursuers. “These two damn bastards, once I recover, I’ll peel off your flesh and feed it to my pet snake,” Moon Mei whispered, her serpentine tail strangely tapping the ground. Each tap propelled her further forward as she fled. She couldn’t help but glance back viciously, cursing under her breath. “Sigh, now that Lingyan City has fallen, many from the other forces will enter the empire. How troublesome…” Moon Mei, the guardian of Lingyan City, had successfully repelled previous invaders with her Seven Star Dou Wang strength. However, this time her luck ran out. No one expected the three powers to send three Dou Wangs, one of whom was at least an Eight Star Dou Wang. Three Dou Wangs led troops to attack the city. Clearly, after severely injuring one of the attackers, Moon Mei was left to flee. Thankfully, she bought enough time for the majority of the citizens to evacuate. Yet, due to this, the two remaining Dou Wans pursued her relentlessly, determined not to let her escape. While Moon Mei was in a wretched state, her two azure-robed, golden-crane-patterned middle-aged pursuers were equally agitated. Though heavily injured, Moon Mei’s bizarre snake-like movement skills kept them at bay. As time passed, their frustration and impatience grew, but they could only chase on, given their orders. “Damn it, once we catch her, I’ll torture her mercilessly to quench my anger!” a middle-aged man with a somber look, his eyes fixed on the distant, elusive figure. Even in her desperate state, her graceful form still drew his attention. “Hehe, I heard the tongue skills of the Snake People are exquisite. In our Geese Descending Empire, a female slave from the Snake People can fetch a high price. I wonder if this Dou Wang class beauty is more satisfying?” another man leered. Hearing this, the sullen-faced man chuckled and nodded, “If that’s the case, we can’t let her go. Let’s push harder, but don’t delve too deep into the Jia Ma Empire; we might encounter other strong foes.” They erupted with dazzling golden light, and a pair of crane-shaped wings extended from their backs, propelling them faster. Moon Mei, feeling the approaching gale, gritted her teeth and pushed her depleted Dou Qi. Her severely injured body couldn’t withstand it, and her Dou Qi dimmed. Her snake tail gave out, leaving her breathless and drenched in sweat. Just as she fell, two golden beams flashed behind, blocking her exit. A man’s gaze lingered on her supple waist, “I’ve never had a Dou Wang class Snake People slave.” Moon Mei’s snake eyes flared with menace, but she smiled coyly, “If you wanted me to serve, just say so. Why chase so far?” “Haha, no thanks for the offer. Once we capture and seal your Dou Qi, we can play.” The man smirked, “Act now, no nonsense!” His companion nodded, and their hand seals summoned immense golden cranes. With a screech, the cranes charged at Moon Mei. The fierce wind cut deep grooves in the ground. Moon Mei’s last bit of Dou Qi was drained, and darkness clouded her vision. With no means of resistance, her only solace was the poison in her mouth, ensuring she wouldn’t be defiled by these scoundrels. The golden cranes’ brilliance loomed, but just as she prepared to meet her end, a subtle thunder rumbled, and a ghostly figure interposed. The cranes dissipated inches from her. Surprised by the lack of pain, she heard a warm voice, “Are you okay?” Opening her eyes, a young, smiling face greeted her.
