Mo City.
The familiar map store, the familiar people.
Inviting Hai Bo Dong to sit down together, Chen Xiao didn't beat around the bush and directly stated that he was about to leave.
"Since Elder Hai is interested in the Black-Corner Region, how about coming with us to explore? I just don't know if Elder Hai can still fight?"
Hai Bo Dong's strength wasn't of much help regarding Han Feng.
However, Chen Xiao planned to stay in the Black-Corner Region for quite a while this time. If he could replace Han Feng's position in Maple City, it wouldn't be bad to have a few more people to help manage things.
Hearing Chen Xiao's questioning, Hai Bo Dong's eyes widened. He wanted to say they should spar, but then he remembered Chen Xiao's Three Thousand Lightning Movement and quickly backed down.
"You brat, don't provoke me. It's just the Black-Corner Region. Can't I, the dignified Ice Emperor, come and go as I please? That so-called Black Ranking, are there any Dou Zong experts on it?"
Chen Xiao and Zi Yan exchanged glances and both shook their heads.
The strongest on the Black Ranking were the Gold Silver Two Elders. The two were in perfect sync and were said to be able to fight a Dou Zong when working together.
But, they were indeed not Dou Zong.
"That's right. Not to mention those hidden old monsters, just the Black Ranking, no matter how strong the Dou Huangs on it are, can they be stronger than the Medusa Queen? I, this old man, don't even fear the Medusa Queen now, so why would I care about those little cats and dogs?"
"Old man Hai, Sister Medusa has successfully evolved and will be a Dou Zong soon."
Zi Yan had no ill intentions; she was just stating a fact.
Hai Bo Dong's body stiffened. "I almost forgot about that. But that's not the point. We're talking about the Black-Corner Region now. This brat Chen Xiao has ill intentions; he clearly wants to trick me into being a thug."
"Elder Hai, how can you call this tricking? The development of the Mitre Family in the Jia Ma Empire has basically reached its limit. To continue developing, they can only expand outwards. The Black-Corner Region is the gateway to the Northwest Continent. If we can gain a foothold there, even if the Northwest Continent is unified one day, the Mitre Family won't be eliminated and can even soar!"
Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Hai Bo Dong's heart stirred.
"That's something Teng Shan should consider. But it doesn't matter if I go to the Black-Corner Region with you guys for a look."
The current situation in the Jia Ma Empire was very stable, and nothing major would happen.
Under this premise, Hai Bo Dong going out for a stroll wouldn't have any impact on the Mitre Family.
"That's right. Squeezing into the Jia Ma Empire all day, how can you break through? Elder Hai, prepare yourself. We'll set off tomorrow morning."
Chen Xiao smiled with satisfaction. Deep down, he was quite happy to see Hai Bo Dong go out and explore.
A Dou Huang's strength was ordinary in the Central State, but in the Black-Corner Region, they could already command a force.
And compared to the Jia Ma Empire, the opportunities in the Black-Corner Region were undoubtedly much greater.
"So urgent?"
"We can't afford not to be urgent. There are still two guests from the Central State in the Holy City. We agreed to travel together, so we can't keep them waiting too long. Besides, I plan to take a slight detour along the way."
"Alright, then I'll write a letter to Teng Shan to explain."
...
The sun set and rose again, marking a new day.
Snake-People Race Holy City, a Flying Eagle soared into the sky. On its back were Cao Ying and the lazy Zi Yan.
Following closely behind, two more figures swept into the high altitude. The two pairs of Dou Qi wings of similar color, once spread out, gave the Snake-People below the illusion of being much cooler.
Cao Xi landed last, taking a step, his figure already beside Chen Xiao and Hai Bo Dong.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Xiao didn't say much, waving his hand.
"Set off!"
As his voice fell, Chen Xiao was the first to fly towards the distant empire border.
Cao Xi, Hai Bo Dong, and the others followed closely behind.
From afar, it seemed they could still hear shouts from the Snake-People Race Holy City.
"Respectfully sending off Your Majesty!"
Hai Bo Dong, who was fantasizing about killing in all directions in the Black-Corner Region, came back to his senses upon hearing the sound. He looked at the team with a suspicious expression, his gaze finally settling on Chen Xiao.
Something was wrong. This brat couldn't have abducted the Medusa Queen too, could he?
Unconsciously pulling away from Chen Xiao a little, Hai Bo Dong felt that his decision was a bit hasty!
Unfortunately, the thought of backing out at the last minute made his face flush, so he could only grit his teeth and follow...
Traveling was the most boring time. Along the way, the three of them, Chen Xiao, Hai Bo Dong, and Cao Xi, spoke very little.
However, Zi Yan and Cao Ying, riding on the flying Magical Beast, whispered to each other the whole way.
As night fell.
On a mountain peak near the border of the Chu Yun Empire, four small black dots flew from a distance. When they landed on the mountaintop, they could finally see that it was a combination of five people and one beast.
"Ahead is the Chu Yun Empire. This empire is rampant with poison masters, and the atmosphere is extremely bad." Looking down at a blurry fortress at the end of their sight, Hai Bo Dong turned his head and said to the four.
"It's fine, we're just passing through. I don't think normal people would rashly provoke us." Cao Xi chuckled.
One Dou Zong, one Dou Huang, and two Dou Wangs. Such a combination was not to be underestimated even in the Central State.
The Chu Yun Empire only had a bad atmosphere; the people weren't stupid. No one would provoke such a strong enemy unnecessarily.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly, taking out a very simple map from his storage ring and looking at it.
"Let's go. Our destination for this trip is called Evil Wind City. It's not far from here. We can stay there for the night. I'm going to see a friend."
A friend in the Chu Yun Empire, needless to say, must be the Little Fairy Doctor.
Chen Xiao and the Little Fairy Doctor have been separated since they parted ways in Green Mountain Town, which has been more than three years ago.
In more than three years, he has gone from a small nine-star Da Dou Shi to a seven-star Dou Wang, a change that can be said to be significant.
As for the Little Fairy Doctor, she possesses the Woeful Poison Body, and her growth cannot be predicted with conventional thinking.
However, Chen Xiao was certain that the Little Fairy Doctor's changes were even greater than his!
The few of them nodded slightly, then soared into the sky again, using the cover of the night and Cao Xi's concealment to rapidly fly towards the interior of the Chu Yun Empire.
Evil Wind City, hundreds of miles outside the city.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, were flying at high speed.
"Your Excellency, show mercy when you can. We are both nine-star Dou Wangs. If you really push this old man too hard, you won't have an easy time either!"
The old man flying in front roared with a dark face, appearing fierce but inwardly weak.
Only he knew how critical the current situation was. If not for his speed advantage, he would have long since become a ghost under the hands of the person behind him.
A thousand zhang behind the old man, the person chasing him was a woman. Her white hair was extremely conspicuous under the moonlight. Her face was covered by a veil, and she wore a fitted white dress. A purple sash was tied around her slender waist, perfectly showcasing her graceful figure.
Listening to the old man's words, she remained silent, merely increasing her speed slightly.
If you don't kill a snake, there will be endless trouble!
She had deeply experienced this truth in the past few years.
Unfortunately, even though the old man was no match for her in a frontal battle of ten moves, his speed was extremely fast. Upon sensing her increase in speed, a layer of blood light surged from the old man's body, as if he had used some kind of secret technique. His speed actually increased by another third, causing the distance between them to not only fail to close but to widen further.
Just as the woman slightly furrowed her brows, contemplating a countermeasure.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed through the wilderness.
She looked up and saw that in front of the old man, an ice dragon several dozen zhang long suddenly appeared, carrying an irresistible might, and fiercely struck the unprepared old man!
With just one blow, the old man who was fleeing in panic was already severely injured!
Under the gaze of the woman in the white dress, an ice spear pierced through the old man's back. Before the blood could splatter, it was completely frozen under the extreme cold.
Only after the person who attacked took the old man's storage ring and threw off the corpse impaled on the ice spear could the woman see clearly.
She saw a tall figure standing with a spear on the magnificent ice dragon that shimmered with frost. He was bathed in moonlight, arriving on the dragon. On his handsome face, the smile of reuniting with an old friend was like the warm sun melting ice and breaking snow.
As the distance grew closer, he dispersed the ice spear condensed from Dou Qi in his hand, and the ice dragon beneath his feet also burst open like snowflakes, transforming into streams of icy Dou Qi that were absorbed into his body. A pair of even more dazzling ice-blue wings slowly unfolded behind him.
"Long time no see."
Looking at the storage ring Chen Xiao extended to her, the Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment before reaching out a pale, bloodless hand from her sleeve to take it.
Noticing that Chen Xiao's expression hadn't changed, the Little Fairy Doctor raised her lowered eyes and met Chen Xiao's gaze with her eyes that had turned gray and purple.
"Long time no see!"
