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

“I’ve heard of it.” Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes and said, “A nine-star Grand Dou Master who was not even seventeen years old defeated a nine-star Dou Ling in a head-on battle. Now that a year has passed, you must have broken through to Dou Ling.”

Zhang Yuan smiled, without revealing his specific strength, and said, "You have good talent, and your Dou Huang strength meets my standards. I want to recruit you into the Nine Abyss Palace, the force I created, so I came here specifically to find you."

"What do you think?"

Hai Bodong gave a playful smile and said, "I would like to, but I'm afraid I'm not qualified right now."

As he spoke, Hai Bodong released his aura, which was at the level of a Seven-Star Dou Ling, not a Dou Huang.

“I’m here to recruit you, so of course I know your current situation.” Zhang Yuan said without changing his expression, “As long as you are willing to join the Nine Abyss Palace, I can help you break the seal left by Queen Medusa and provide you with a pill that can restore your strength to its peak.”

Hai Bodong's eyes narrowed, and he said in surprise, "You actually know that the reason my strength has decreased is because I was sealed by Queen Medusa!"

Queen Medusa placed this seal on him, but it happened decades ago.

Since then, he has lived in seclusion in this desert city, and even when the outside world said that the Ice Emperor had fallen at the hands of Queen Medusa, he did not appear to explain.

Since he, as the person involved, didn't say anything, no one else probably knew about being sealed away by Medusa.

Zhang Yuan's intelligence-gathering ability is quite impressive.

"How I know isn't important," Zhang Yuan said with a slight smile. "What's important is whether you want to regain your Dou Huang strength."

"Can you really help me?" Hai Bodong's tone became more fervent.

As a former Douhuang powerhouse and one of the top three experts among the ten great masters of the Jia Ma Empire, he was naturally unwilling to be sealed away as a Douling for the rest of his life.

“Of course.” Zhang Yuan nodded: “As long as you are willing to join my forces, I can immediately help you restore your strength.”

Hai Bodong did not immediately agree, but said, "I can exchange it for the fragment of the map I want, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuan's displayed talent was enough to attract the attention of everyone in the Gama Empire.

Hai Bodong knew very well just how difficult it was to remove the seal left by Queen Medusa.

This seal utilizes some spatial power, acting simultaneously on the dantian and blood vessels.

Unless a sixth-level alchemist is willing to refine a certain sixth-grade pill for him, no one can remove this restriction.

If Zhang Yuan could really do it, he wouldn't mind making a deal, but not by joining the other party's faction.

Because he was unclear about the other party's situation, whether they were leaning towards the righteous or the evil faction, and he personally disliked being constrained.

As for Zhang Yuan, who was supposed to get something for free, although he was somewhat arrogant and conceited, he disdained to breach contracts in fair transactions.

"Helping you break the seal and helping you return to your prime are two different things," Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Hai Bodong did not answer directly, but said, "This original fragment of the map is very important to you, isn't it?"

"I have studied maps for decades and my expertise in the art of maps is no less than my own cultivation, yet I still cannot fathom the depth of this incomplete map. I believe you will not feel cheated in trading this item with me."

As expected of the shrewd Hai Bodong, he immediately estimated the value of the incomplete map in Zhang Yuan's mind.

However, he was unaware that this map concerned the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking, a flame powerful enough to tempt even the most reclusive hermit and move the heart of a powerful alchemist.

“How about this?” Zhang Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, “I can help you break the seal first. You give me the incomplete map, and then you work for me for three years. In return, I will help you restore your strength.”

"If we cooperate well within three years, you will join my team; otherwise, you will be free."

Zhang Yuan was confident in his own charm and believed he was a better investment than Xiao Yanzi. Hai Bodong, as a discerning angel investor, would certainly be willing to work for him.

Even if something unexpected happens, a Douhuang powerhouse will only be of some use to him in the next few years, allowing him to personally recruit him. Once he becomes stronger, he won't necessarily need such a subordinate.

"Oh?"

Hai Bodong was somewhat surprised to hear Zhang Yuan's suggestion.

"Aren't you afraid I'll renege on my debt once I regain my strength?"

Refusing to pay?

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, "You should have sensed that aura coming from the direction of Stone Desert City just now, right? That was my mount."

Haibodong: "."

"You don't think I'm joking about having a Dou Zong by my side, do you?" Zhang Yuan's smile widened.

Behind him, Ling Ying revealed his figure and released an aura.

The space trembled, and there was a faint indication that it was about to seal off the area around Hai Bodong.

At his peak, Hai Bodong was a five-star Dou Huang. Although he wasn't a high-level Dou Huang, he wasn't far off. He had once witnessed the methods of a Dou Zong, and at this moment, he felt a sense of oppression.

"It really is a Dou Zong level expert!" Hai Bodong's pupils shrank.

This kid is no ordinary person; no wonder he immediately offered to remove the seal on me.

Just then, a striking figure stepped into the shop, looked around with interest, and soon his eyes showed a hint of boredom.

She wasn't very interested in maps or anything like that.

The appearance of this figure instantly attracted Hai Bodong's attention, occupying his entire field of vision.

It wasn't because the woman was stunningly beautiful or had a figure and temperament comparable to a witch, but because she held a special significance for Hai Bodong.

nightmare!

This figure had appeared in his mind and dreams countless times over the past few decades.

It wasn't just longing, but a constant nightmare.

"Queen Medusa!"

Hai Bodong trembled as he backed away until he finally stopped when he bumped into a shelf.

His eyes were filled with fear, and his white hair covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression, but his eyes had already betrayed his inner thoughts.

Although Medusa was wearing a veil and did not exude any aura of cultivation, and her lower body was not a snake tail, Hai Bodong still recognized her at a glance.

"Ok?"

Medusa was somewhat surprised to hear someone call out her identity.

Just now, when I was walking on the street, those stinky men all looked like they wanted to look at her but didn't dare to, but none of them recognized her.

Perhaps no one expected that the queen of the snake people would walk barefoot through a human city with one long leg.

This brought her a sense of joy; she had never experienced this special peace before.

Here, unlike among the snake people, one doesn't enjoy worship, respect, or adoration wherever one goes.

But now, some people recognize him at first glance.

"who are you?"

Medusa looked Hai Bodong up and down, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She immediately sensed that the old human man possessed a seal she had left behind.

But after searching her memory, she felt as if she had never seen this old man before.

"Wait, are you Hai Bodong?"

After carefully sensing it, Medusa discovered that Hai Bodong's true realm was Dou Huang.

Within the Gama Empire, the Battle Emperors are the pinnacle of combat power, and each one has their own title.

Medusa also remembered the Dou Huangs she had fought and those she had sealed.

Upon reflection, she guessed the old man's identity.

Haibodong: "."

"Your Majesty, it seems you've left quite a shadow on Elder Hai," Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Medusa admired her fingers and said calmly, "It's just that his skills were inferior. What do you think?"

Medusa gazes at the East Sea.

“That’s right, I’m not as good as you,” Hai Bodong replied immediately, his voice trembling.

The decades of suffering from the seal were all because of this woman.

Otherwise, with his talent, he wouldn't have spent decades as a Dou Ling, but would have already reached the peak of Dou Huang and begun searching for an opportunity to break through to Dou Zong.

This woman was the one he regretted getting involved with most in his life.

"You do have some self-awareness," Medusa chuckled, then looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "You're much more pleasing to the eye than this little guy."

Upon hearing this, before Zhang Yuan could speak, Ling Ying turned her gaze to Medusa, a dagger appearing in her hand.

Seeing this, Medusa's expression turned slightly cold.

Hai Bodong shuddered again, feeling an urge to turn and run away.

"cough."

Zhang Yuan broke the silence with a light cough and said, "Your Majesty, since you find Elder Hai pleasing to the eye, there shouldn't be any problem with you helping him remove the seal, right?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Hai Bodong's eyes.

Although his cultivation level would inevitably regress after the seal was broken due to the long period of time he was sealed, he was still under the influence of the seal.

At least he can regain his Douhuang strength and sense the energy of heaven and earth!

"Break the seal?"

Medusa laughed and said, "Little one, you may not know this."

"Anyone I can stand and whoever I find pleasing to the eye has already died by my hand."

"Over the years, Hai Bodong is the first guy who hasn't been killed!"

"What do you think I should do?"

Haibodong: "."

Can I pretend I didn't see it?

Chapter 118 Hai Bodong's "Kneeling" is So Smooth! Another Freebie!

Hai Bodong's legs were trembling. He was really afraid that Medusa would suddenly attack and kill him in one move.

Given the opponent's strength as a "Dou Zong" (a high-ranking martial arts master), he certainly wouldn't be able to escape, and the Dou Zong (another high-ranking martial arts master) beside Zhang Yuan might not be able to stop him.

"Brother," Hai Bodong wanted to say to Zhang Yuan, "maybe we should just call off the deal."
