Chapter 75 Hai Bodong's Answer
The news of the death of Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin was not concealed for long. On the night that Jia Xingtian returned to the palace, the news exploded throughout the Holy City of Gama. Countless forces set their sights on the Nalan family and the Xiao family. The former might be better, after all, it was one of the three oldest families in the Gama Empire with a profound foundation. Nalan Jie was once the Lionheart Marshal in the army, and many Dou Kings were on good terms with him.

As for the Xiao family, their current situation is somewhat embarrassing.

The Xiao family has been very active in recent years, expanding its influence rapidly, and even threatening to become the fourth largest family in the Jia Ma Empire, offending many forces for this. In the past, due to Xiao Lin's strength and his friendship with Nalan Jie, no one dared to target the Xiao family openly. Now that Xiao Lin is dead, the situation is naturally different.

In the Douqi Continent, the strong are respected. If one wants to enjoy the corresponding cultivation resources, one must have the corresponding strength. The only three Douling left in the Xiao family are obviously unable to protect such a large family business.

This also caused undercurrents in the entire Gama Holy City. If it weren't for the pressure from Emperor Jia Xingtian, the Xiao family would have probably been divided up by now.

……

Not long after Jia Xingtian returned to the imperial capital, he came to the Mitel family to visit the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. He had always wanted to recruit this Ice Emperor who always kept to himself, but the other party didn't buy into his tricks at all. Neither coercion nor inducement was effective. In the end, the other party even joined the Mitel family, which made him quite helpless.

Under the guidance of Mitteltenshan, he soon met Hai Bodong who was drinking in the backyard. The other party seemed to be a lot more relaxed than before, and there was less gloom between his brows.

This scene surprised Jia Xingtian. He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help asking, "You broke through?!"

"Good luck."

Hai Bodong glanced at Jia Xingtian and smiled, with some emotion and relief in his eyes.

The fifth-grade pill that Yao Yan gave him was extremely effective. On the night he took it, the bottleneck in his body was completely broken. It took three days for his Dou Qi cultivation to stabilize at the six-star Dou Huang level. Moreover, the Dou Qi that had never increased no matter how he practiced in the past now began to increase.

He had never felt so refreshed.

Jia Xingtian's eyes flashed with surprise and envy, and he congratulated: "No wonder you are in such a good mood, congratulations."

Tengshan stood on one side, looking at Hai Bodong with a smile in his eyes. The other party and the Mitel family were originally one. The stronger the other party was, the more beneficial it would be for the Mitel family. If the other party could break through to Dou Zong one day, perhaps the Mitel family could extend their reach to other regions, not just be limited to this corner of the Gama Empire.

"If you are concerned about the Snake People and the Gama Empire, then no need to say more. I will not get involved in this matter."

Hai Bodong looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, his expression slightly more serious, and he said in a concentrated voice that he had already guessed the other party's intention. He could not think of anything else except this matter that could make this old man come to him in person.

In the past month, there have been more and more frictions between the Gama Empire and the Snake People. The Queen Medusa, who inherited the throne of the Snake People, is extremely domineering. Her style of doing things is more decisive than any previous Queen Medusa. She seems to be planning to attack the Gama Empire in one fell swoop and force it to cede land.

It seemed that the environment of the Tagor Desert could no longer be tolerated.

Thinking of this, Yao Yan and Cai Die appeared in his mind. He wondered where the two of them had gone now. If they knew about this, he wondered if they would get involved.

"You have indeed dealt with the snake people!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Hai Bodong sharply, and said in a deep voice.

"I have been staying in the Tagor Desert for the past few years, so I have naturally come into contact with the snake people."

Hai Bodong said lightly that he didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter. If he didn't have some friendship with Jia Xingtian, he wouldn't even answer the other party's question.

Jia Xingtian noticed that Hai Bodong didn't want to talk about this topic, so he frowned and said, "Nalan Jie of the Nalan family and Xiao Lin of the Xiao family died in the Monster Mountain Range. Before that, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King of the Monster Mountain Range fought with a snakeman Douhuang. Coincidentally, a man happened to be with a snakeman and took your token to the Monster Mountain Range."

Some things do not require evidence; a little deduction can reveal the truth.

When one's strength reaches Dou Wang level, it is not easy to die, especially in the Jia Ma Empire, where there are very few people who can kill three Dou Wangs at the same time. "...It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with my two friends."

Hai Bodong pondered for a moment, looked at Jia Xingtian calmly, and spoke slowly.

“Is this your attitude?”

Jia Xingtian clenched his fists and asked with a frown. He didn't expect Hai Bodong's reaction to be so big. This was undoubtedly beyond his expectations. If it was just a Dou Huang of unknown strength, he might have investigated it in depth and looked for a chance to take revenge in the future. But if the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong was added, he would have to think carefully.

With Hai Bodong's character, he would actually guarantee those two people like this.

Hai Bodong's expression remained unchanged, his stern face was calm, and he said lightly: "If you think they did it, you can come to me, and I will bear all the consequences."

The two men stared at each other, and at the same time, the auras of the two Douhuang began to soar and collided with each other, instantly creating an invisible storm in the quiet courtyard, causing cold sweat to break out on Tengshan's forehead. He looked at the two top powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire in fear. If they started a war, the entire imperial capital would probably be shaken.

"Kaka~"

Icy air began to spread, instantly freezing the surrounding ground. At the same time, an ice spear appeared in Hai Bodong's hand, expressing his attitude.

If you want to fight, fight over there!
Seeing this scene made Jia Xingtian's forehead twitch. He didn't expect Hai Bodong to actually dare to take action. At the same time, he also understood the other party's attitude. The other party really wanted to take over the situation for those two friends and bear all the consequences.

He took a deep breath of the cool night air, remained silent for a long time, and finally compromised: "Forget it, this matter ends here, I will erase all traces. If you see your friends next time, you'd better remind them that this is the Jia Ma Empire, not the Black Horn Region. I will give you face this time, but there will definitely not be a next time!"

"If so, you'd better agree to the conditions of the snake people and give them a piece of land suitable for survival."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong chose to return the favor and spoke up to remind him, while also releasing the ice spear in his hand.

"reason?"

Jia Xingtian did not think Hai Bodong's words were absurd, and asked back very rationally. Based on his understanding of Hai Bodong, since the other party said so, he must have his reasons.

"If you listen to me, this will be good for the Gama Empire."

Hai Bodong was silent for a moment and then gave his answer.

However, this answer was obviously not what Jia Xingtian wanted. He frowned and asked, "Because of that young man?"

If it were just the snake people, Hai Bodong would not have said so, and the answer would be obvious.

"He is not from the Jia Ma Empire. I don't know the details. I only know that he is a fifth-grade peak alchemist who is less than seventeen years old and has the strength of a great fighting master. You should know what this means. The snake girl who is following him now has a very close relationship with Queen Medusa."

Hai Bodong thought about it and decided to tell Yao Yan some information because it was enough to solve all the problems.

Jia Xingtian is very smart and he knows how to choose.

No one wants to offend a young alchemist with unlimited potential.

Jia Xingtian was stunned when he heard this. His lips moved and after a long while he managed to utter a word: "...Thank you."
