"The Snake-People?" Xiao Yan was also somewhat surprised. After all, although the Snake-People were located within the Jia Ma Empire, their relationship with humans was far from good. They had always kept to themselves, and Queen Medusa had a notorious reputation within the Jia Ma Empire. He hadn't expected her to join forces with a powerful figure from the Jia Ma Empire.
"Because the attack by the Izumo Empire also affected the Serpent People, Queen Medusa finally decided to join forces with the other side."
Xiao Yan nodded, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Even so, I'll go and see what's going on."
Xiao Yan tapped his storage ring, tossed a jade bottle to Feng Li, and then guided the Jiaojia Vulture to speed away, its destination the Black Mountain Fortress on the northeastern border of the Jia Ma Empire.
After receiving the jade bottle, Feng Li opened it wide and was astonished to find a fifth-grade pill lying quietly inside!
Its quality is ridiculously high. As a Dou Wang powerhouse, Feng Li has naturally seen fifth-grade pills before, but the one that Xiao Yan casually gave him was of extremely high quality, even surpassing the reward that Dan Wang Gu He had given him for asking him to do something!
"What a generous gift!" I had only given a few simple words, yet I received such a lavish present.
Feng Li sighed inwardly. What he had just said were facts that everyone already knew. Exposing them would not cause any harm. He just prayed that such a powerful person would not make an enemy of the Jia Ma Empire.
After Xiao Yan and his companion had been gone for a short while, four figures broke through the air and arrived.
The leader had the strongest aura; he was actually a powerful Dou Huang expert. The Dou Qi that occasionally spilled out startled all the powerful guards stationed there.
This powerful woman also possessed an exceptionally gentle and captivating appearance, making her a female powerhouse. Yet, all the guards who saw her became exceptionally respectful.
This person is none other than Yun Yun, the current sect master of Yunlan Sect and a Dou Huang!
Yun Yun scanned the area and, finding nothing amiss within the pass, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She then asked Feng Li, "Elder Feng, what situation prompted you to request reinforcements?"
A lineup of one Dou Huang and three Dou Wang is definitely not a force to be underestimated in the Jia Ma Empire. However, because it is a special time, Feng Li asked for help, and Yun Yun rushed over immediately.
Feng Li also told Yun Yun about the situation of Xiao Yan and the other person's appearance in detail, but he selectively omitted the fact that he had received a reward from Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing about the two unfamiliar Dou Huang powerhouses, Yun Yun frowned slightly: "A young man and a young girl, it seems I haven't heard of such a combination in recent years. They can even command a Dou Wang-level Jiao Jia Vulture, their strength is indeed extraordinary."
Feng Li was also somewhat conflicted, but in the end he said, "Sect Master Yun, although those two are quite familiar with the affairs of my Jia Ma Empire, I feel that they do not intend to be our enemies."
Yun Yun waved her hand and said, "Well then, Yun Lei, you go to Black Mountain Fortress immediately to inform the teacher about this. I have to continue guarding Red Cloud Pass and can't leave."
A Dou Wang behind him responded and flew straight towards Black Mountain Fortress, his wind-attribute Dou Qi making him extremely fast.
Then Yunyun said, "There are wartime rules, so it's best to act prudently."
After scanning the area and confirming that everything was in order, Yun Yun flew away again.
Xiao Yan, atop the Jiaojia Vulture, was naturally unaware of all this. Some people are destined to be missed, and even if they have another chance to meet, they will always be just a hair's breadth away from each other.
Xiao Yan and Zi Yan arrived at the Black Mountain Fortress of the Jia Ma Empire after two days.
The fortress was enormous, and its walls were made entirely of jet-black volcanic rock, possessing an exceptionally formidable strength. Even attacks from a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) level expert could withstand such walls for a long time.
On the city walls, countless soldiers could be seen everywhere, and even numerous enormous crossbow carts could be faintly seen. The crossbow carts were already equipped with steel arrows as thick as a man's thigh, ready to unleash their astonishing power at any moment. Under the defense of these numerous soldiers, this defensive line was as solid as a rock.
However, this formidable defense did not encounter any dangerous situation worthy of its attention at this moment.
Several powerful auras also emanated from the city walls; these were all renowned experts from the Gama Empire.
The two standing at the front, one dressed in a loose, plain robe, looked somewhat weary. This was none other than Yun Shan, the former sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.
Beside Yunshan stood an absolutely stunningly beautiful woman. Her long, narrow, pale purple eyes possessed a natural allure that could draw the gaze of almost any man. Of course, at this moment, no one dared to easily shift their eyes to her.
She wore a magnificent purple brocade robe, beneath which lay a voluptuous and exquisite figure, like a ripe peach, exuding a subtle charm. Her long, black hair cascaded casually down her fragrant shoulders, reaching her slender waist.
She is also a genuine Dou Zong powerhouse, the queen of the Snake-People race—Medusa!
Even Yunshan looked at her with a hint of fear in his eyes.
What they were staring at was a greenish-purple mist at the limit of their vision, which stretched for tens of miles, nearly a hundred miles.
"Damn it! This poisonous fog is extremely lethal. A lot of it has been drifting over with the wind these days. Although we can still hold it off for now, the fog area is still expanding!" Yunshan and an old man who was a descendant of Queen Medusa also spoke up.
His yellow attire proclaimed his identity: a member of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire! A nine-star Dou Huang powerhouse, Jia Xingtian!
Jia Xingtian's status within the Jia Ma Empire had almost reached its peak, but at this time there were two people who completely suppressed him, so even with his royal status, he could only be ranked third in the Black Mountain Fortress.
Medusa frowned as she looked at the distant mist: "If we don't find a way to stop this mist, it will become a disaster sooner or later!"
Upon hearing Queen Medusa's speech, Yunshan asked, "What do you mean?"
A hint of murderous intent flickered in Medusa's indifferent eyes: "If we can't solve this fog, then let's go to the Izumo Empire and see if they have any solutions!"
Although Medusa spoke simply, one could tell from her eyes that this trip was likely to involve a great deal of bloodshed!
Jia Xingtian's eyes also showed some struggle, but he finally spoke up: "If we make a big move in the Izumo Empire, it will mean that the two great empires have officially started a war..."
Queen Medusa snorted coldly and sneered, "They've already provoked us to our doorstep, yet we're still dragging our feet. That's why I despise humans."
As he spoke, he disregarded everyone's gaze and was about to leave when suddenly Yunshan and Medusa sensed something and looked up at the sky at the same time.
"Such a powerful aura..."
