Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

They even considered whether they could use a combination of persuasion and coercion, employing both their charm and threats, to bind Zhang Yuan to the snake-people tribe.

As long as she breaks through to the Dou Zong level, she will have no problem fighting against Ling Ying. And if the four elders of the Snake-People Clan all become Dou Huang and form an array, they will also be able to deal with Dou Zong.

But now, looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King at Zhang Yuan's feet, Medusa felt that she should prioritize appeasement.

The collaboration with Zhang Yuan was one of the plans they came up with internally after investigating him.

The Mulan Empire is their common enemy.

“Dealing with the Mulan Empire is no problem for me,” Zhang Yuan said with a smile. “One of my purposes in coming to Shimo City is to make the Mulan Empire a thing of the past.”

"Once Your Majesty breaks through, we will send two Dou Zong and three or more Dou Huangs. The three elders of Mulan will be trapped like turtles in a jar. Once we get rid of them, the Mulan Empire will be a piece of fat meat that we can slowly swallow."

Upon hearing this, Medusa revealed a captivating and stunning smile.

If what Zhang Yuan said is true, the snake people's return to their ancestral land will become extremely easy.

"Three or more Dou Huangs?" Medusa raised a beautiful eyebrow.

She wondered if Zhang Yuan knew about the internal situation of the snake-people.

“Your four elders of the Snake-Human Clan are at least comparable to two Dou Huangs,” Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

About five years later, the elders of the Snake-People Clan will all be peak Dou Huangs.

If this is related to Medusa's successful breakthrough to the Dou Zong level, then there might be Dou Huangs among them now.

Even without it, forming an array to deal with two ordinary Dou Huangs wouldn't be a problem.

"He knew after all." Medusa had a wonderful misunderstanding in her heart, and her regard for Zhang Yuan increased even more. She smiled slightly on her cold and beautiful face and said, "The four elders of my clan are responsible for protecting the heritage of my clan and cannot go out lightly."

It's not that you can't play it, but you can't play it lightly; it mainly depends on the win rate.

“I can gather them myself,” Zhang Yuan said with an unchanged smile. “However, I need Your Majesty to do me a small favor first.”

"You haven't even helped me break through yet, and you expect me to help you?" Medusa crossed her arms, a sly glint in her eyes.

Medusa doesn't do good deeds.

"It's nothing more than a small favor," Zhang Yuan said without changing his expression. "If you're willing to help, a Dou Huang would definitely be willing to lend a hand in the fight against the Mulan Empire. That's what you'd like to see, isn't it?"

"Oh?" Medusa's snake tail writhed beneath her as she looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Tell me about it."

“What’s the point of talking? Why don’t you come with me to Mo City now, Your Majesty? It will only take half an hour,” Zhang Yuan said.

Medusa did not agree immediately, but pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay."

She didn't think Zhang Yuan had any ill intentions towards her. Otherwise, after Zhang Yuan trapped her, he could have easily captured her, even if she fought desperately and managed to make the other party pay a price.

Moreover, the matters concerning the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the fight against the Mulan Empire, and the Five Dragon Thunderfire all demonstrate Zhang Yuan's sincerity.

"Since the Queen is so agreeable, let's go then."

Zhang Yuan laughed and told the Amethyst Winged Lion King to turn around.

Half an hour later, they saw in the distance a huge yellow city that was several times larger than Shimo City and whose walls were several meters high.

"Go back to sleep for a while."

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhang Yuan put away the Amethyst Winged Lion King, summoned the Strange Fire to transform into wings, and slowly landed when he was still a hundred feet away from the city, finally standing steadily on the ground.

Looking at the city not far away, he turned back and tossed a bead to Medusa, saying calmly, "Inject your battle qi into this bead, and it will conceal all your aura. No one below the Dou Zun level can detect you, and it will also allow you to maintain your human form."

This bead is a sixth-tier battle weapon, the Illusion Moon Bead, which was refined from the Moon Fox Bead that Qin Hai gave him.

The Moon Fox Pearl is formed from the essence of the sun and moon absorbed by the fifth-tier magical beast, the Moon Fox. It is useless to humans. Ordinary magical beasts can enhance their intelligence by possessing it, while fox-type magical beasts can use it to transform into human form. Magical beasts below the seventh tier that have failed to transform during their tribulation can successfully transform by consuming it.

However, after being refined by Zhang Yuan, it can now allow magical beasts below the seventh rank that have developed intelligence to briefly maintain human form when they possess it; the stronger the beast, the shorter the time it can maintain this form.

If it were an ordinary peak Dou Huang, the energy in the Illusion Moon Pearl would only be enough to maintain human form for one hour before needing to absorb the essence of the sun and moon to replenish it. However, Medusa is half snake and half human, so she should be able to last for three hours.

"Humanoid?"

Medusa caught the Illusionary Moon Pearl, a look of doubt appearing in her pale purple eyes.

Aside from Transformation Pills and slightly less valuable Transformation Herbs, she had never heard of anything that could transform magical beasts into human form.

However, she did as instructed, injecting her own fighting spirit into the Illusion Moon Pearl. She then felt a force enveloping her body from the abdomen down, temporarily modifying it.

As the power of the moonlight dissipated, the thick, purple tail disappeared, replaced by a pair of long legs that were no less impressive than Xiao Yu's. They were slender, fair, and smooth as jade, without an ounce of excess fat, making one want to touch them.

"Is this what it feels like to have legs?" Medusa wiggled her toes and bent her legs slightly, finding it strange.

Having two legs feels completely different from walking with a snake's tail; it gives her more balance and makes her feel happier.

She was wearing a long, off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with a skirt, so the snake tail turned into legs and could cover the key parts well. However, there were gaps on both sides, which inevitably led to speculation.

"You don't want your eyes anymore?!" Medusa looked at Zhang Yuan, her cold face revealing displeasure.

She dared to look at her private parts so "unscrupulously"; if it were anyone else, she would have already turned them into a corpse.

However, Zhang Yuan's strength and methods made her wary, so she could only threaten him with words.

"I just think Your Majesty has very beautiful legs and feet. It's a bit missing that you're bare-chested like this."

Zhang Yuan smiled calmly, neither humble nor arrogant nor sleazy, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out a pair of shoes and a box from his storage ring.

"The box contained underwear worn by a human woman, belonging to one of my wives, which I have never touched."

"These shoes were made as practice when I was honing my weapon-forging skills. They are a third-tier weapon that automatically adapts to the size and feels weightless when worn. If you inject battle qi into them, they can automatically clean your feet and increase your speed by two levels."

"They're all yours, Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuan casually tossed the item to Medusa, then decisively turned and walked towards the massive city at the edge of his vision.

Medusa opened the box and, upon seeing the black panties inside, her beautiful eyes narrowed instinctively. After taking a deep look at Zhang Yuan's back, she reached out and took them out to put on herself.

She didn't want anything to go wrong and for others to see her privacy.

She didn't refuse the shoes and promptly put them on.

After the battle qi was injected, the red shoes with some gold embellishments automatically fit Medusa's feet, and she indeed did not feel any weight at all.

She was extremely satisfied with the style of the shoes, which perfectly complemented her beautiful legs and feet.

"Weapon forging techniques?"

"really interesting."

Medusa licked her red lips and followed closely behind Zhang Yuan.

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips, indicating that she was actually in a good mood.

The two soon arrived at the city gate, where they could see people constantly coming and going, traveling along the official road to other cities or other places. Most of the men were shirtless, with strong physiques and dark skin.

Occasionally, women would appear, all with a darker complexion, a healthy bronze, and dressed rather provocatively in tight leather outfits, exposing everything except their private parts and surrounding areas.

However, when Medusa appeared wearing a veil, she became the sole focus of attention in the vicinity, and no woman could compare to her perfection.

Zhang Yuan pretended not to see them and looked up at the two large, light red characters on the city wall.

Desert City!

There were more than a dozen soldiers in armor guarding the gate, holding long spears, and people were asked to pay an entry tax.

Zhang Yuan casually swiped a token and led Medusa inside amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the soldiers.

Medusa looked around, this was his first time wandering around a human city, so he naturally found it all very strange.

Soon, his attention was drawn to a vendor selling candied hawthorns.

"I want it!"

Zhang Yuan tossed a gold coin to the candied hawthorn vendor, who then accepted a broom full of candied hawthorns amidst the vendor's profuse thanks.

"Here you go." Zhang Yuan took down a large string of flowers and handed it to Medusa.

"."

Medusa neither thanked nor refused, but calmly accepted the candied hawthorn and was about to take a bite.

"and many more!"

Zhang Yuan reached out and covered Medusa's mouth, tearing off the candy wrapper from the candied hawthorn under her questioning and cold gaze, and then said, "Eat it now."

"Crunch." Medusa took a bite of a candied hawthorn.

She finished it in a few bites and said expressionlessly, "Human food is nothing special."

Zhang Yuan: "."

If you don't continue eating after saying that, I'll believe you.

If you don't have that sparkle in your eyes like a little girl eating candied hawthorn, I can still believe you.

As expected, she's a total tsundere, all talk and no action.

"Let's go."

Seeing Medusa begin to devour the second skewer of candied hawthorns, a smile flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes. He turned around, slung the candied hawthorns over his shoulder, and continued to stroll around Mo City.

After asking a passerby for directions, the two quickly arrived at a street corner where a map shop called "Gu Tu" stood. Unlike the other shops that were luxurious and ostentatious, it had a rustic feel to it.

Zhang Yuan ignored Medusa and walked into the shop on his own. The interior was not very spacious, and two moonstones were embedded in the walls on both sides, making the whole shop quite bright.

Zhang Yuan's gaze swept across the area and landed on an elderly man with white hair who was dozing behind a counter.

Instead of making a sound to wake the other person, he scanned the handmade maps on the counter. He walked to a rustic wooden shelf in the corner, scanned all the yellowed maps with his soul perception, and then gently waved his hand to take out a tattered picture that was only the size of a palm.

"This is truly a pleasant surprise."

Zhang Yuan, feigning surprise, approached the counter with the tattered drawing and asked, "Hai Bodong, where did you get this drawing?"

Swish!

The old man, who was dozing, suddenly opened his eyes, and a chill instantly filled the entire shop, enveloping Zhang Yuan.

"Who are you, and how do you recognize me?!" Hai Bodong spoke slowly, his voice somewhat hoarse, his gaze sharp.

“My name is Zhang Yuan. I don’t know if you’ve heard of me?” Zhang Yuan asked in return.

"The city lord of Shimo City?" Hai Bodong confirmed.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded.
