The Battle Through Heaven
First Commander
Xiao Yan stood on top of the tall building as he looked at the paper note in his hand with a serious expression. He flicked his finger a moment later and the paper turned into flames before disappearing rapidly.
’’The Hall of Souls’ yes ..’ ’
Xiao Yan softly muttered in his mouth. A cold and dense killing breath slowly surged within his dark black eyes. His hatred for this organization could be said to have seeped deep into his bones. It was because the two people closest to him had already landed in their hands.
A cold glint appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. He suddenly turned his body a moment later and quickly walked down from the tall building. Right now, he was completely unaware of this mysterious ‘Hall of Souls’. He should have some understanding of them if he wanted to save Yao Lao and his father. However, people from ‘Hall of Souls’ are usually mysterious and difficult for ordinary people to find. Therefore, this might be a chance for him.
As long as he could capture someone from ‘Hall of Souls’, Xiao Yan would be able to obtain some news about ‘Hall of Souls’. It's very important to him.
Xiao Yan quickly found Xiao Ding and the others when this thought flashed across his heart. He described the situation to them in detail. They were shocked when they heard that/it was Xiao Yan about to leave the Jia Ma Empire and only nodded after being silent for a long time. Xiao Ding clearly understood that/that if he made Xiao Yan remain in the Jia Ma Empire, it would end up holding him back. The vast continent's Ben Qi might be a place where Xiao Yan could display his true abilities.
Xiao Yan did not delay any longer after taking into account the matters in the Yan Alliance. He found Zi Yan inside the capital before rising into the air with her as he quickly flew to the place where the Magical Beast Mountain Range was located. Xiao Yan was afraid of the people from ‘Hall of Souls’. Hence, he naturally needed to gather all his aides on his way to the Chu Yun Kingdom this time around. Medusa was definitely the best choice.
Currently, the Snake-People Tribe had already occupied an area close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Although they would engage in fights with some Magical Beasts during this period of time, this was not considered a bad thing for some Snake-People who were hungry for battle.
After remaining within the Jia Ma Empire, the guards of the Snake-People Tribe against humans had weakened slightly. There was also a passageway at the border between the tribe and the outside world. Although there were soldiers of the Snake-People Tribe who were strictly guarding around the passageway, it was undoubtedly much better when compared to the past when they were instantly killed upon seeing humans. It is likely that/it was by interaction over a long period of time, the Snake-People Tribe would gradually leave its guarded mind and become a member of the Jia Ma Empire.
Although the area where the Snake-People Tribe was located was far from the capital, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan managed to appear at the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range after an hour with their speed. Their gazes slowly swept over this vast mountain range. They could see the Snakes-People passing through the forest.
Some people within the vast forest also noticed them after they stopped in the sky above this place. A few figures quickly rushed into the sky with cautious eyes. They were astonished when they saw Xiao Yan, and the caution in their eyes was greatly weakened.
’’ Friends of the Snake-People Tribe. I'd like to meet Queen Medusa for some things. Can you lead the way? ” Xiao Yan cupped his hands towards some experts from the Snake-People Tribe, and spoke in a deep voice.
’’ Tribal leader is in retreat. If you want to see him, please follow us to meet with the First Commander first. Only he and a few Elders from the tribe could enter the room. ” A Snake-People expert hesitates for a moment before opening his mouth to speak.
’’ First Commander. ’’
Xiao Yan knit his brows after hearing this. This expert, who was only weaker than Medusa in the entire Snake-People Tribe, was also someone he had heard of. However, Xiao Yan had never met him. From the occasional mention by some Snake-People, this person seemed to be the one who was infatuated with practice. During the great battle between the Jia Ma Empire and the three great empires, this person had remained on retreat for over a year. The desert had been completely empty by the time he came out of his retreat. If the Snake-People Tribe did not have a special method of communication, it was likely that this person would not even be able to find his tribe.
Of course, this was naturally not enough to cause Xiao Yan to frown in this manner. This training maniac also viewed Medusa as a female deity in his heart, just like most male Snake-People. Due to his strength being inferior to Medusa in the tribe, he would usually be the one who had the greatest chance of being with her. However, Xiao Yan suddenly erupted like a tiger blocking his path. Therefore, despite not meeting this person, Xiao Yan also knew that/it seemed like this person had enough enmity for him.
Xiao Yan could only helplessly shake his head as this thought flashed through his heart. He said, ” In this case, can you lead the way. ’’Although Xiao Yan felt that/that this First Commander, whom he had yet to meet, would be troublesome, Xiao Yan was not afraid of him. If the other person did not understand the situation, he would not mind showing his hand. After all, as long as one defeated the top experts of this Snake-People Tribe, one would be able to save a lot of trouble in the future.
The pair of Snake-People experts nodded quite politely upon seeing this. Their bodies moved and they shot towards the forest. Xiao Yan and Zi Yan followed behind.
’’ Xiao Yan, relax. I'll help you defeat that First Commander if he dares to speak nonsense! ” Zi Yan approached Xiao Yan and laughed. He seemed to be also aware of the famous First Commander of the Snake-People Tribe.
’’ You should be more compliant. Otherwise, I won't take you anymore. ’’Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head as he replied.
” Chi, if you do not take me away, I will escape alone like Liu Qing, Lin Yan, and the others. ” Zi Yan curled her lips and was not the slightest bit afraid of the threat of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan could only roll his eyes when he heard this. He cursed Lin Yan and the other two bastards in his heart. They actually dared to run away on their own. He would definitely teach them a proper lesson the next time they met.
The forest scenery in front of Xiao Yan suddenly widened while he cursed the three people in his heart. A tribe that occupied an enormous space appeared before him.
The tribal building was built beside the mountain, and its shape seemed as if it was embedded within the body of the mountain. The busy and busy Snake people moved to and fro in this area. Some Snake-People soldiers stood in certain high places that were heavily armed. Their sharp eyes observed the situation around him at all times.
Xiao Yan and Zi Yan followed the experts from the Snake-People Tribe and passed through the tribe. Some time later, they gradually stopped on an open plain deep within the tribe. There was a stone staircase that stretched deep into the mountains behind the open ground. However, the flight of this stone staircase was currently guarded by many experts from the Snake-People Tribe.
Xiao Yan's eyes were thrown onto the stone stairs that widened to the end of his gaze as he stood on the open ground. Finally, they stopped among the many Snake-People guards in that place. At that location was a bald male Snake-Person with his eyes closed. Yarns of violent aura lingered over his body. The lustrous bald head was covered with a grayish-white snake tattoo. It appeared like a grayish-white poison snake lying there, causing one to tremble without feeling cold.
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed as his gaze stopped on the bald-headed Snake-Person. He could sense that/that the strength of this person was currently around the peak of the Dou Huang class. Other than Masuda and the four Elders, it seemed like he was the strongest in the entire Snake-People Tribe. Since that was the case, it seemed like this cold-headed Snake-Person should have been the First Commander of the Snake-People Tribe …
The bald-headed Snake-Person seemed to sense something when Xiao Yan cast his gaze. Those closed eyes suddenly opened and the triangular shaped disciple stared at Xiao Yan like a huge python that was about to swallow someone.
’’ Xiao Yan of the Yan Alliance requests a meeting with Queen Medusa. Please tell him! ” Xiao Yan's expression did not change on the face of the Mad-man's gaze which would cause one's hair to stand upright. He cupped his hands and slowly spoke.
’’ Xiao Yan? ’’
The ferocious aura of the cold-headed Snake-Person immediately soared upon hearing this name that had recently become a stain in his heart. Suddenly, he stood up.
” You are that Xiao Yan? ” The snake-headed Snake tail was swung and its body strangely appeared in a place not far from Xiao Yan. His eyes looked at Xiao Yan as he spoke in a somewhat dark, cold manner.
Xiao Yan knit his brows slightly as he felt hostility in the other party's words. He immediately nodded.
A battle smile appeared on the bald-headed Snake-Person's face when he saw Xiao Yan nod. He did not say any other nonsense as he tightly clenched his fists. Green light lingered and appeared. The dense scales of the snake appeared to the surface. His fist carried a dark, cold force as it violently struck Xiao Yan with an angry roar.
Xiao Yan's expression turned much darker as he felt the cold, sharp wind that was in the other party's hands. His feet stomped softly as a powerful green-green flame suddenly surged from his body.
The fire started and the ground quickly dried up. Many cracks quickly spread from the drought. The faces of the surrounding experts from the Snake-People Tribe were shocked as they hurriedly moved back. Being naturally born with a cold constitution, they were most afraid of these kinds of things.
Surprise flashed across the bald-headed Snake-Person's eyes when he saw the jade-green flames on Xiao Yan's body. However, his fists did not stop one bit. The power above him had instead become even more ferocious.
A beautiful little body suddenly appeared when this fist made contact with the layer of green-tooth flames. A beautiful sound of crying was heard and a small fist collided with Snake-Person in front of the stunned eyes of the surrounding Snake-People.
’’ Bang! ’’
A low and muffled explosion was heard when contacted. Immediately, terrifying ripples spread out. Zi Yan and the bald-headed Snake Person took a few heavy steps back.
After forcefully stabilizing his body, the bald-headed Snake-Person's eyes were solemn as he looked at Zi Yan who was rubbing her small fists. After which, he smiled coldly at Xiao Yan. A jade-green-sized lotus flame slowly floated up from Xiao Yan's indifferent-looking hand just before the bald-headed Snake-Person was about to make fun of. A faint and cold voice echoed in the open ground.
” If you take a step forward, you better get ready to lie in bed for a few months. ‘
The bald-headed Snake-Person swallowed a mouthful of saliva as his eyes shrank. He looked at the jade green fire lotus. He could sense that/it was an extremely wild, violent, and terrifying energy contained within it.
