Chapter 32. Chaos in the Empire

After an incense stick of time had passed, there was already a tense atmosphere outside the Mittel family, as if the air was condensed by the strong smell of gunpowder.

The royal army gathered densely outside the Mittel family. The neat rows of soldiers, dressed in shiny armor, flashed coldly under the sunlight, completely surrounding the entire Mittel family and the auction house.

The soldiers all had serious expressions, holding their weapons tightly, ready to charge into battle at the command.

And high in the sky, there were six figures standing in the air, their clothes fluttering in the wind. They were Jia Xingtian and the five Dou Wang subordinates of the royal family.

Jia Xingtian’s face was stern, his eyes filled with deep anger, the Dou Qi around him surged like a substance, demonstrating his powerful strength as a Nine-Star Dou Huang.

Although the five Dou Wangs beside him were not as powerful as Jia Xingtian, in the Jiama Empire, a Dou Wang was a hegemon, and they also exuded an aura that should not be underestimated.

In the Jiama Empire, the strong men at the Douwang level have always been highly respected and possess the ability to call the wind and rain.

The Mittel family’s foundation is indeed very strong. After years of operation and accumulation, it has a certain status in the empire.

But the Mittel family only has five or six Dou Wangs, and their realms are not very high.

In comparison, the forces dispatched by the royal family this time clearly had the upper hand. That was why Jia Xingtian was so confident that he could come and kill them directly.

“Mitel Tengshan, get out here!!!” Jia Xingtian’s eyes opened wide and his voice was like a bell. This shout almost instantly resounded throughout the Mitel family’s territory. The strong fighting spirit was mixed in it, shaking the surrounding houses slightly, and it was deafening!
In the hall of the Mittel family, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

The sunlight poured in through the carved windows, but it could not in the least dispel the gloom that shrouded everyone’s hearts.

Mitteltenshan was in the hall, his brows furrowed. The deep wrinkles on his face were like ravines carved by time, and each one contained his worries at the moment.

He stared outside the hall, as if trying to see through the layers of walls and heavy guards to see the menacing formation of the royal army outside.

The faces of several family fighting kings standing beside him were also serious. Although they had certain strength and were considered strong men in normal times, they could not help but feel worried when facing such a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the royal family.

The royal family not only dispatched a large number of elite soldiers this time, but also Xingtian and five Douwang-level strongmen to support them. Anyone who saw such a lineup would feel nervous.

At this moment, a wisp of cold air spread silently from the back hall.

The cold air was like a substantial white mist. At first it was just a few wisps, but then it quickly spread in all directions as if it had life.

“chachachacha”

“chachachacha”

As the cold air spread, a thin layer of ice gradually formed on the ground. The sound of the spreading ice was particularly clear in the silent hall, as if the ice elf was whispering about the coming storm.

When they saw the cold air spreading in all directions, everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance to the back hall.

Then, when the tall and upright figure of Ice Emperor Hai Bodong walked out, Mittel and other elders seemed to have seen their backbone. Their originally tense expressions instantly relaxed a little, and a spark of hope ignited in their eyes.

“Ebi!”

“Ebi.”

Everyone called out respectfully, their voices revealing genuine respect and dependence.

In the Mittel family, Hai Bodong has always been like a stabilizing force. Even though he has not been back for many years, his prestige and strength have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Hai Bodong nodded slightly, his face was stern, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through all the vanity.

Immediately, he said calmly, “Since this old immortal has come, let’s welcome him.”

His tone was calm, but it contained an unquestionable arrogance, as if the seemingly powerful royal army outside was nothing more than a bunch of minions that he should not be afraid of.

“Yes!” Everyone answered in unison. The voice was loud and firm. With Hai Bodong’s leadership, they felt much more confident.

Soon, the strong men in the Mittel family stepped forward one by one when the family was facing such a serious situation.

They looked solemn, with firmness and determination in their eyes. It was obvious that they were ready to live and die with their family.

Especially when Hai Bodong, Mitteltenshan and others took off, a powerful momentum came over them. Judging from the number of people, they were actually superior to the royal family!
Jia Xingtian naturally knew something about the situation of the Mitel family. He knew very well that although the Mitel family had many Dou Wangs, except for Mitel Tengshan, most of the others were just one- or two-star Dou Wangs. In the eyes of him, a nine-star Dou Huang, he did not take these forces too seriously and felt that they were not to be feared.

But I never expected it!

Hai Bodong is still alive!

This discovery made Jia Xingtian’s face instantly become gloomy, and a hint of astonishment and extreme anger flashed in his eyes.

The moment Jia Xingtian looked at Hai Bodong, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes and he said, “Hai Bodong, you are not dead after all!”

There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice, as if Hai Bodong’s existence was a provocation to him.

Hai Bodong sneered and said, “You are still alive, how could I die?”

His response was neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He did not care about Jia Xingtian’s resentment at all. In his opinion, Jia Xingtian’s performance at the moment was nothing but a show of strength on the outside but a weakness on the inside.

Jia Xingtian then said, “Now that you’re back, do you still want to be Yunlan Sect’s dog?”

He tried to provoke Hai Bodong with such harsh words, hoping to make him lose his composure in front of everyone. After all, in his eyes, Hai Bodong’s return and standing on the side of Yunlan Sect and opposing the royal family was an unforgivable act of betrayal.

The appearance of Hai Bodong was indeed an accident, which Jia Xingtian had not expected!

Originally, he thought that even if the Mittel family had the power to resist, they would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. But now with the addition of Hai Bodong, the situation of the royal family has undoubtedly become even more critical.

“Old monster, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. Is there any point in talking about this at this time?” Hai Bodong shook his head and said indifferently.

He knew very well that Jia Xingtian’s words at this moment were just to disturb his mind, but how could he be fooled so easily?
At this time, do you still want to stimulate yourself?
Jia Xingtian really didn’t know what kind of existence he was facing!

“It seems that you are determined to fight me?” Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian instantly spread out the aura of the peak Douhuang without reservation.

The powerful and domineering aura swept in all directions like a surging tide, making the surrounding air seem to solidify. Waves of oppression came over them, causing the people below to feel their hearts tighten.

Hai Bodong did not speak, but his own aura burst out at this moment.

There was a flash of light all around him, and a powerful ice-attributed force surged out from his body, colliding and intertwining with Jia Xingtian’s aura.
