Chapter 176 Yan Nantian

Breakthrough?
The guard was speechless.

How could there be a breakthrough like yours that doesn’t even reveal your actual level of strength… Either there’s something wrong with your cloak that’s hiding your aura of cultivation, or you’re just making it up.

“You~uh, wait a minute.”

Not knowing how to deal with this potentially dangerous person, the captain looked back at the direction of the city wall, wanting to seek advice from the city defender.

Or find someone to take the blame.

If something really goes wrong, there will be someone taller to help.

“Let her pass…”

Dou Wang was leaning against the soft couch, chewing grapes. As far as he could sense, there was no one whose realm was higher than Dou Ling, so he naturally didn’t bother to care about these trivial things.

Those with weak strength cannot get through the city gate, and he cannot stop those with strong strength.

It’s OK to say that he shed his blood for the Jinyan Sect, but how many gold coins can he get as a monthly salary? Not to mention risking his life, he would feel a loss even if he sold a finger.

“Hmm? No… cough!”

Dou Wang’s perception of the sweeping scene suddenly paused. He didn’t even bother to care about the grape stuck in his throat. He rushed to the front of the stage in a panic, his eyes fixed on Medusa. “This strange aura, could it be the Withered Moon Owl? Who on earth is this person, and how could he have obtained such an exotic beast!”

The wings on his back only came from a fifth-level mixed-blood monster. Such high-level flying wings of the seventh level were considered artifacts to him.

It’s a treasure you could never obtain in your lifetime.

“Quick! Bring this senior in! Please come in! Be sure to show respect.”

Dou Wang hurriedly sent a message, and just as he was about to rush out, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted to the outside of the door: “Hurry up, someone, change my clothes for me!”

This guard uniform doesn’t look very solemn. It would be better to change into a set of the Jinyan Sect’s uniform that is kept in reserve to facilitate harmonious communication between the two sides.

“Yes~”

The guard responded in a half-bewildered and half-panic state, unable to understand what was wrong with his immediate superior.

It would be fine if this guy with unknown origins was allowed in, but he was also treated as a guest? If something happened, all the people present would be fired, and the servants serving tea and water would have to be replaced.

“Can I come in?”

Seeing that the situation was improving, Medusa took back the fighting skill that was about to be released: “Or do you have another request? No breakthrough outside the city?”

“This is not…”

The guard who had been wandering around the ghost gate for a while didn’t notice anything. He turned aside and gestured to lead the way: “Master Qing Shou wants to see you. What do you think?”

Qing Shou…the Dou Wang?

Medusa’s eyes swept across the word “Qing” on top of the city gate and pointed directly at the location of the aura.

It was a well-known fact that eight high-ranking Dou Wangs were guarding the city gates, but now it seemed that these people had more say than expected? They were just Dou Wangs, but they could approve anyone to enter the city at will.

But what attracted her attention more was the cold aura beside Dou Wang.

“This feeling is a snake man!”

Medusa’s expression suddenly turned gloomy, and the sudden chill she emanated made the guard shiver: “Come on, take me to see the defender.”

“Come, follow me…”

These two people don’t have any grudge against each other, right?

The guard twitched his lips, feeling that his boss would inevitably meet with bloody disaster today.

……

“Ahem! The chief steward of the Golden Goose Sect, his direct disciples, the Qingmen City Guard, the chief of the Qingyu Army…”

As soon as Medusa stepped into the door, the Dou Wang in front of her, who was wearing the uniform of the Jinyan Sect, began to sing the lyrics. The front half of his body bowed lower and lower as he sang, and finally bowed to the bottom: “Greetings, senior!”

However, his solemn announcement was met with a long silence. Not only Medusa in front of him, but even the servants and maids standing quietly inside and outside slowly turned their eyes away.

Didn’t see it.

What’s the difference between what you’re doing and trying to show off your authority in person?

“What’s the matter? Tell me straight away.”

Medusa clenched her fists several times before slowly suppressing the urge to draw her sword and strike out. The golden uniforms of the Jinyan Sect were too eye-catching and difficult to ignore.

The embroidered feathers seemed to be made bright and dazzling on purpose, making people feel irritated.

“Well, to be honest, I do have a favor to ask of you.”

The Dou Wang immediately circulated his Dou Qi and spread out the wings behind him: “Although I have reached my current level with the help of the flying wings, the level of the wings behind me has become a burden to me now. If I can’t solve this problem, I’m afraid I won’t be able to reach Dou Huang within five years.”

“Just now I saw that you have the aura of a seventh-level demon beast. In terms of bloodline and species, it is quite suitable to be used to refine my wings… So, I beg you to help me.”

“You can rest assured! Even if it is impossible, I will never treat you unfairly! If you want a guest position in the Golden Goose Sect, I can get it for you, not to mention the elixirs and treasures.”

“By the way, if you want snake slaves from the depths of the Tagor Desert, I can also personally prepare twenty or thirty for you! I guarantee that each one is a carefully selected treasure, and it will be worth tens of millions of dollars if you bring it to Zhongzhou!”

Dou Wang looked earnest, as if he had found a life-saving straw. If you didn’t know him well, you would think he was being hunted by some mortal enemy.

But for him, being exiled to the border and wasting his life is no different from being buried in the ground.

If he could dare to break through to the Douhuang level before the sect was completely relocated, he might be promoted to elder due to personnel changes. With many resources to support him, it is unknown whether he could break through to the high-level Douhuang level in the future.

“Senior, please help me!”

The Dou Wang repeatedly emphasized: “I can do anything. Whether it’s slaves or martial arts fighting skills…”

“Hey…”

Medusa’s palms shrank under her cloak and gradually clenched. The fighting spirit in her hands flickered several times before dissipating with difficulty. For a moment, even she admired herself for being able to suppress the blood and not overturn the entire city gate and walk away.

Sensing aura? The Golden Goose Sect? Snakeman slaves?
The way to die…

This person is really asking for death! He said it three or five times in one paragraph!
‘Isn’t that enough?’

Seeing that there was no response, Dou Wang’s lips trembled a few times: “Then you make your request. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely…”

“Ha~”

Medusa glanced at the figure in the corner, her eyes focused on the snake’s tail under her: “I want her.”

“!”

The snake man who had been silent until now suddenly raised his head, and after his eyes met Medusa’s, he collapsed as if his bones were pulled out: “You…?”

“——This won’t work.”

Dou Wang held his face and puffed it up for a long time before blurting out this sentence: “You can ask for anything else! But not her.”

“Really~”

Medusa snapped her fingers, and a blazing gray wind blade appeared in her hand, attracting Dou Wang’s attention: “Then tell me about the Golden Goose Sect… If it suits my taste, it’s not impossible for you to stay as a guest official.”

“Thank you, senior.”

Dou Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Four old men sat in a courtyard that looked like a cemetery, like stone statues in a long state of meditation. Although the aura faintly revealed by them was extremely powerful, the death energy of two of them had already condensed into substance. The description of dying was not quite appropriate, it was more like a state where they only had half a breath left, but were forcibly kept alive by the doctor.

“somebody is coming?”

A man opened his gray eyes, his soul, which was riddled with holes due to unknown injuries, was still strong, and he vaguely sensed the movement in the direction of the city gate in the distance.

“That so-called guardian force?”

The old man who was always worried about Yan Luotian’s eyes became fierce and said, “Great! Those guys actually dared to come to my Jinyan Sect to cause trouble!”

It’s hard to say how many of these old guys will be left in two years.

But now they are at the point where they can fight one more battle before they die, so if they die like this, it would be what they want.

“The method of hiding one’s tracks is somewhat similar. But it’s not right either… The aura is more obscure and difficult to detect, and it’s impossible to determine the location.”

The old man’s gray eyes lit up, but he still found nothing: “It’s as if all the aura fluctuations emitted were eaten up. I can only be sure that there is a very strong existence there, and the rest can only be guessed.”

“I gonna go see.”

The old man shook his robe and stood up suddenly: “I want to know who dares to test my Golden Goose Empire!”

“Yan Nantian!”

Another person regained consciousness and stared at him: “Judging from your current state, you will definitely show your weakness once you make a move!”

Just like Jia Xingtian who had been living in the deep palace for a long time to avoid fighting, Yan Nantian’s situation was not good either.

It would be fine if you don’t take action, but once you fight with someone of the same level, all your secrets will be exposed.

“That’s better than being indifferent! If I sit back and do nothing, how do you know they won’t think I’m dead?” Yan Nantian snorted coldly, spread his wings and flew away, the remaining golden light left a shadow like a clone in the original place.

“Ugh…”

The gray eyes gradually closed as she watched his back: “It would be nice if I had a Qingming Shoudan.”

All known problems in the Douqi Continent can be solved by elixirs. If they cannot be solved, it only means that what you have taken is not advanced enough or not enough.

“How can you and I easily get that kind of high-level elixir?”

Another person shook his head helplessly: “The Northwest Continent is like this. All capable alchemists are heading for the Zhongzhou Dan Tower. The only ones willing to stay in this poor and remote place are probably the cheap sixth-grade ones that others don’t like.”

“Shh~ I think you should stop talking! What’s the point of complaining here?”

The gray eyes glared at him and said, “If this gets out in public, the Golden Goose Sect will be in turmoil again.”

Everyone knows what kind of person Danta is, and everyone knows how shameful the Alchemist Guilds scattered around the country are. But if these things are brought to light, then expect disaster.

That is the spiritual home of the alchemist community…

If you say anything too much, the local alchemists will probably come to you and demand justice.

“There are only three people here, why are you so nervous?”

The old man seemed a little unconvinced: “If there is a big man raising the banner now, the scattered alchemists will unite as one, and they may not be afraid of the so-called Dan Tower!”

That’s not necessarily true.

The gray-eyed old man was speechless for a while.

How could he have such a dream that a large group of miscellaneous sixth-grade brands would join together to counterattack Danta?
……

“Senior, why do you treat me like this!”

The Dou Wang grasped his throat with both hands. The colorful veins gradually spreading from his neck quickly devoured his Dou Qi and vitality. Even his withered flesh and blood was further shriveled and digested by the strange devouring power:

“I mean it sincerely! I’ve said everything!”

“Yes, I have explained everything that needs to be explained.” Medusa sat on the colorful snake shadow and hovered in the air. “I am just settling the account for her.”

she?
The Dou Wang glanced at the snake people, then looked at Medusa again with an expression full of disbelief: “You are… the queen of the snake people?”

Being able to stand in the void so quietly, the person in front of him is obviously a Dou Zong.

So~
“The legend about the snake people is actually true. You can really transform into a seventh-level monster!”

Dou Wang gasped with difficulty, his life was about to come to an end, but he couldn’t help but smile: “But you can only stop here. Do you really think that hiding your aura and sneaking into the city will be foolproof? You underestimate the methods of the Supreme Elders!”

“Maybe.”

Medusa stretched out her hand and pointed, and the snake shadows rushing into his body instantly doubled, almost tearing him into a unrecognizable form.

At the same time, the blood in her body began to fluctuate, and she sensed that a powerful bloodline that had been dry and dormant suddenly appeared and was rapidly approaching this place.

“Have you noticed my presence? That’s pretty quick. I don’t have to dawdle any longer.”

Medusa slapped the snake shadows beneath her and was about to leave with the snake man.

This trip is just to see the combat power status of Jinyan Sect. There is no need to start a fight now, so we should stop while we are ahead.

“Wait, Your Majesty!”

“explain.”

“…Take him with you…”

“?”

Medusa looked at the snake man in surprise. After a half-breath of silence, she withdrew her fighting spirit and carried the guy who had already lost half his life into the sky.

“Don’t run away, thief! Where do you want to go, you cunning bastard?”

The golden light above the city paused, then suddenly turned and rushed over, and the dangerous aura instantly locked onto Medusa.

Not only was there a gap in realm between the two, but the flying speed was also very different. The golden light behind him only took a few breaths to successfully catch up with her.

“Humph! You actually dare to compete with me in speed. You are too naive!”

Yan Nantian sneered grimly.

If the other party deliberately hides, the final result is hard to predict. Soul perception can only roughly detect the city boundary when scanning. If the person uses concealment means, he may really run away.

“But now…you are seeking death!”

Yan Nantian’s already skinny body suddenly swelled up, his muscles became knotty and his clothes shattered, and the red-gold wings behind him also extended with bloodstains.

The long-dormant blood fluctuations were activated through his body, constructing an illusory bird shape around his body, causing his aura to rise again.

Obviously, in order to deter the villains, he planned to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

“Falling geese and frosty sky!”

The cold light that spanned the sky split down, and the figure that was fleeing in panic in front of him had no place to hide, which made the dim light in Yan Nantian’s eyes even brighter: “Wait…you?”

In an instant, this battle-hardened old man completely lost his composure.

There was only a colorful light and shadow swimming in front of him, and there was nothing else except a few hard scales that could be vaguely seen inside.

“Asshole!!”

Yan Nantian let out a long cry towards the sky.

Listening to the rumbling thunder coming from afar, Medusa pulled her cloak with a relaxed look: “My life is coming to an end~”
