Chapter 264 This old man isn't stupid
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man who was making a map behind the counter froze.

"boom!"

The next second, an icy aura erupted.

The seemingly gaunt old man suddenly turned around, a murderous aura flashing across his face. He leaped out from behind the counter with a speed completely out of proportion to his body, his five fingers forming claws as he reached for the boy at the door.

"call--"

A fierce wind, carrying frost, swept over him, slapping his face like a knife.

But the boy didn't make a move. His dark eyes stared calmly at the old man, seemingly unconcerned about the old man's attack or his own safety.

Upon seeing this, the old man frowned deeply, a hint of wariness flashing across his aged face.

Sure enough, just as his five fingers were about to touch the boy's neck, a long and powerful hand suddenly shot out from the boy's shoulder and struck him squarely with a palm.

"boom!"

In an instant, a gale arose, and powerful energy splashed everywhere.

A chilling frost burst forth from the point of impact, causing the temperature in the entire shop to plummet, and a thin layer of frost covered the floor, walls, and even the counter.

The old man groaned, and his withered body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing into the wooden wall with a loud bang and being buried by a large number of broken wood pieces and wood chips.

A cold breeze swept through his hair. The boy blinked, looked at the withered old man covered in frost and broken wood, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Brother Feng, go easy on him! Hai Bodong is currently under a seal, and his strength is only at the Dou Ling level. He's no match for you!"

"rest assured!"

A calm voice came from behind the boy. He Jingfeng, who had already changed into a green robe, strode forward, circulating his Qi to evaporate the icy power permeating the surroundings, and calmly looked ahead, saying:
"I know what I'm doing..."

"You have absolutely no sense of propriety!"

Before he could finish speaking, another voice came from the counter next to him.

He Jingfeng's lips twitched, and he turned to look. He saw Yun Ye, dressed in brocade robes, standing beside the frost-covered counter, holding a tattered map in his hand, and saying irritably:

"I know you haven't personally taken action in a long time, but even in a fight, you have to distinguish between primary and secondary roles, right?"

"If I hadn't intervened in time, this thing would have been frozen solid by that old man!"

Is it a fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map?!
Xiao Yan's expression changed; he had been so focused on showing off that he had almost forgotten about this thing.

He rushed forward, looking at the tattered map with a pained expression, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Yun Ye chuckled and transmitted his voice, "Don't worry, the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map isn't so easily broken..."

Before he could finish speaking, the collapsed wooden wall in front of him exploded with a loud bang.

The old man who had just been knocked away, or rather, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, stood up and looked at the three unfamiliar uninvited guests in the shop with a gloomy and solemn expression.

Especially He Jingfeng, who had just knocked him away, although his aura was extremely restrained, judging from the power of that palm strike, he was at least a Dou Wang level expert.

Thinking of this, Hai Bodong's heart sank, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice:

"Who exactly are you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Hai Bodong's expression suddenly changed.

Two more young men stepped into the shop.

The man in front was tall and handsome, with a jade-green longsword at his waist. Although he had concealed his aura, his gaze was exceptionally sharp.

Upon meeting his gaze, Hai Bodong couldn't help but squint, as if stung by the look and unable to look directly at him.

Without a doubt, this was also a powerful figure who could bring him a fatal crisis!
As for the white-robed youth behind him, although not as obviously as the former, the purple kitten in his arms, which resembled a cat, also exuded a powerful aura of a fourth-tier magical beast!

Meanwhile, the purple cub was struggling and baring its teeth as it roared, seemingly trying to break free.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong's heart sank again.

A fourth-tier magical beast is equivalent to a Battle Spirit.

To be able to hold such a powerful magical beast firmly in one's arms, one's strength is clearly far superior to that of a Battle Spirit.

"At least a Dou Wang level expert..."

"And there was more than one?!"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Hai Bodong's forehead, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble!"

Su Haoming held Xiao Zi down with a headache and lowered his voice to comfort her, "I know that old man is no match for you, but he is not our enemy either."

"You little rascal, you don't know your own strength. If I let you take action, wouldn't that ruin Xiao Yan's important plans?"

Little Purple didn't care; it only knew that the old man wanted to attack Xiao Yan, and it had to teach him a lesson.

Looking at Xiao Zi, who was still baring her teeth and grimacing, Su Haoming sighed helplessly, waved his hand to bind her with the wind rope, and turned to look at Xiao Yan by the counter, saying:
"I'm out of ideas, you'll have to deal with it yourself!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan had already carefully examined the incomplete diagram of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

After confirming that the fragment of the map was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief, took the fragment, glanced at Xiao Zi, and said lightly:
"Save extra food tonight."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zi immediately fell silent.

Su Haoming's face darkened. He looked down and saw the little guy with his two purple front paws on his arm, lying obediently in his arms. There was no trace of his indignant expression just now.

So you're only protecting your master for extra food?! Su Haoming was speechless, muttering under his breath, "All you care about is food, you're not cute at all..."

Xiao Yan chuckled, shook his head, and turned to look at Hai Bodong, who had suddenly fallen silent.

"What, are you willing to speak now, Senior Ice Emperor?"

"..."

Hai Bodong remained silent, glancing around as if searching for a way to escape.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan brought an extraordinary group of friends and family. Even if Hai Bodong, who is currently sealed away, were to recover to his peak strength as a five-star Dou Huang, he would never be able to escape Xiao Yan's grasp!

With the situation under control, Xiao Yan's attitude was no longer as aggressive as it had been at the beginning.

He looked at the silent Hai Bodong and chuckled softly, "I advise you, senior, not to waste your energy!"

"Since I've come to your door, I must be absolutely certain. Rather than hoping for a non-existent escape, why don't you hear my terms first?"

condition?

Hai Bodong's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned, saying, "You're not here for revenge?"

"nonsense!"

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Su Haoming rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Don't you think about it? With your current Dou Ling level strength, if you really wanted revenge, how could you be standing here unharmed?"

"..."

Hearing Su Haoming's blunt words, Hai Bodong felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan stepped in to play the good cop, smiling and saying, "Alright, Brother Su, don't be so harsh on Senior Ice Emperor. He only attacked me because he was in a moment of anger... right?"

As he finished speaking, Xiao Yan turned around and smiled at Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong's lips twitched, but he could only nod with a forced smile and said in a low voice, "I have many enemies, and to ensure my safety, I acted first. If I have offended you, please forgive me, young friend..."

"now it's right!"

Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, it would be inappropriate for me to be so aggressive."

As he spoke, he raised the fragment of the map in his hand and said with a smile, "How about this, I won't make things difficult for you, senior. I'll use this fragment of the map as a symbolic compensation to wipe the slate clean. What do you say?"

It was only then that Hai Bodong noticed the incomplete map that Xiao Yan was holding.

He obtained this item by chance more than ten years ago. Although he did not know its purpose, based on his many years of experience in mapmaking, he was certain that the incomplete map contained a huge secret!
Judging from Xiao Yan's previous actions, he had clearly discovered the value of the incomplete map.

Proposing such a form of compensation is definitely not just about making peace.

Hai Bodong's eye muscles twitched, and he cursed inwardly that this little fox was taking advantage of the situation and was truly unfilial!

But there is no way, the situation is stronger than people.

Facing four formidable strangers eyeing him menacingly, Hai Bodong, though his heart was bleeding, could only grit his teeth and force out a single sentence: "No problem!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Yan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "In that case, shouldn't you hand over the small fragment of the map that Senior specially hid to this junior as promised?"

what? !

Hai Bodong's pupils dilated sharply, and a storm raged in his heart.

But he was, after all, a seasoned veteran who had experienced the world, and no matter how shocked he was inside, he remained calm on the surface.

"Young friend, I have no idea what you are talking about."

Hai Bodong frowned and said, "This map was originally incomplete. When I obtained it, there was only this small piece."

Xiao Yan's smile gradually faded, and he said calmly, "That's right, the map is indeed incomplete, but there are still obvious differences between the new and old incomplete sections..."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's heart sank.

Xiao Yan said calmly, "What, does Senior think that I am too young to see through this?"

The two stared at each other for a moment, and finally, Hai Bodong was the first to back down, letting out a long sigh:

"What a troublesome kid. I wonder which old monster trained you..."

"Fine, fine. Since I made my word beforehand, I'll accept defeat in this round. I can give you the remaining fragments of the map, but you must promise not to bother me again, and you must not reveal my whereabouts!"

Xiao Yan sneered, "Senior Ice Emperor, have you forgotten that this incomplete map was compensation from me, disregarding past grievances? Is it a bit too short-sighted to suddenly raise the price?"

"Kid, don't try to intimidate me with that!"

Hai Bodong shook his head and said, "I've lived most of my life and seen all kinds of storms. If you're unwilling to agree to these two conditions, I'll die sooner or later when my enemies come knocking."

"Either way, I'm going to die, so why should I grant your wish?"

Upon hearing this, everyone expected the other party to fly into a rage, but to their surprise, the leading youth was not annoyed at all, and the young man holding the purple cat next to him couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey! This old man isn't stupid!"

"..."

Hai Bodong's face immediately darkened.

At the same time, his mind began to race, and he seemed to vaguely realize from Su Haoming's attitude that the young man opposite him had no intention of killing him...
