The northern and eastern parts of the Jia Ma Empire border the three major empires: the Luo Yan Empire, the Chu Yun Empire, and the Mu Lan Empire. Among them, the strongest forces in the Luo Yan Empire, the Jin Yan Sect and the Yun Lan Sect, have always been at odds, and the two sides have clashed many times on the northern border of the empire.
The main force of the Gama Empire's royal family is located at the Black Mountain Fortress on the northeastern border, responsible for resisting the invasion of the Izumo Empire. Although the Izumo Empire's royal family is currently engaged in internal strife, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect within its borders has a Dou Zong powerhouse in charge, making it the undisputed leader among the four great empires.
To the east of the Gama Empire lies the Mulan Empire. While there are no Dou Zong powerhouses within its borders, the three elders of Mulan are all peak Dou Huangs and are proficient in fusion Dou Techniques. They are capable of fighting even against Dou Zongs, but if separated, they are easily defeated one by one, so they have always been inseparable.
Because the Izumo Empire is the strongest and its poison masters are the most damaging, the three empires have tacitly formed a joint defense against it. The Gama Empire, being the weakest of the four empires, ceded the Tagor Desert in its eastern province to the snake people tribe for settlement.
This is also an art of compromise, allowing the snake people to avoid targeting the Gama Empire too much, and instead focus on resisting the forces of the Mulan Empire and part of the Izumo Empire.
In short, the royal family of the Gama Empire is the leader of this empire, but the Yunlan Sect and the Snake People have autonomy. The three maintain a delicate balance. The Yunlan Sect is mainly responsible for resisting the Luoyan Empire, while the Snake People are mainly responsible for resisting the Mulan Empire and some of the Chuyun Empire's forces.
If something happens to the Yunlan Sect, or if the Snake-People's stance changes, then the Jia Ma Empire's royal family will have to directly confront the Luoyan Empire and the Mulan Empire.
This is why, after Xiao Yanzi destroyed the Yunlan Sect and the Snake-People Tribe moved to the vicinity of the Monster Mountain Range, the Soul Palace easily facilitated a three-army alliance to launch an attack from the Black Mountain Fortress.
Jia Xingtian was a politically astute man. He observed in secret, first gaining a comprehensive understanding of Yun Yun's current strength through Medusa, and then revealing himself when Medusa attacked Zhang Yuan. His purpose was naturally the same as Yun Yun's.
"go back?"
Medusa casually shattered the rocks in front of her, her gaze lingering on Zhang Yuan before passing by.
Zhang Yuan: "."
Medusa is definitely not a lovesick fool, but a strong woman who does what she says. Of course, in matters of the heart, she can also be a naive and innocent girl who can be fooled for three years by a single pill.
So, what exactly is her purpose in wanting to take herself back?
However, Zhang Yuan soon realized that this was not just his imagination.
"I can give you this face."
Medusa stretched her graceful figure and then said, "But I have one condition."
Chapter 70 The Domineering Medusa Queen
"condition?"
Jia Xingtian frowned slightly and said, "It's best not to ask for too much, otherwise I don't mind granting Elder Mu Lan's request."
Upon hearing this, Medusa burst into laughter again, her body trembling with an unusual allure.
But no one dared to look around recklessly, otherwise, being targeted by Her Majesty the Queen could be fatal!
"Jia Xingtian, do you really think I'm stupid?"
Medusa's smile was wild as she coldly said, "The Tagor Desert occupies most of the eastern province's territory, and its eastern border is long with no natural defenses. If it weren't for my Snake People tribe, the armies of the Izumo Empire and the Mulan Empire could have easily marched in."
"If it weren't for my snake-people tribe, the real ones who should be worried would be the royal family of the Gama Empire and the Yunlan Sect."
Upon hearing this, the gazes of several powerful Dou Wang experts not far away changed slightly.
The overall strength of the Gama Empire was, of course, several times greater than that of the Snake-Man Tribe.
However, if they were scattered throughout the entire empire, they would be far inferior to the snake-people tribe.
For a long time, some people have wondered why the snake people tribe didn't seize a better piece of land to live in.
In retrospect, this was also a kind of compromise.
“You won’t go that far,” Jia Xingtian said seriously. “Although the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake People tribe have had many wars, they were only a struggle for power. The poison masters of the Izumo Empire regarded your Snake People as a source of poison and wanted to capture you and raise you as maids and animals. The Mulan Empire even drove you out of your ancestral land, which almost led to the extermination of your race.”
"Although the Gama Empire does not welcome you, we are mutually beneficial and can barely maintain a balance."
balance?
A cowardly old man who only knows how to compromise.
In the face of absolute power, there is no need for balance.
She must take that step and revitalize the snake people.
However, using that method would make her more likely to fail.
She was still hesitant at first, but after seeing Zhang Yuan, she had a new idea.
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you, and my conditions are very simple."
Medusa looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "I'm taking him with me."
Everyone: "."
Qing Yanjing: ?
Zhang Yuan blinked.
That's really domineering. What would you do if I released a Dou Zong?
Zhang Yuan's soul has now reached the Spirit Realm, a height that most Dou Zun powerhouses cannot reach. He can even use his soul power to severely injure or even kill unsuspecting Dou Zong level powerhouses.
With such a powerful soul, his perception is naturally also outstanding. He can clearly sense that Medusa has no murderous intent or even malice towards him, but rather a special possessiveness.
It's special because this possessiveness isn't simple; it's not just the kind of possessiveness a lecherous man has when he sees a beautiful woman and can't walk past her, but also the desire to hunt and the wish to possess something he finds precious.
That's why Zhang Yuan was curious about what it was about him that attracted Medusa, making this seemingly charming and alluring, but actually extremely sentimental and single-minded queen want to possess him the moment she saw him.
"It's just a minor Dou Ling, you wouldn't refuse me, would you?"
Medusa licked her lips with her delicate, lilac-like tongue, her eyes filled with a triumphant smile.
She knew Jia Xingtian's way of doing things very well. To put it nicely, he was shrewd and cautious; to put it bluntly, he was a coward.
The Jia Ma Empire is the weakest of the four great empires in the southwest corner of the Northwest Continent. In order to resist the invasion of the three great empires in the north and east, the royal family can only win over the Yunlan Sect and its snake-people tribe.
Over the years, she has killed many powerful figures in the Jia Ma Empire. Most of them were people that Jia Xingtian used to eliminate dissidents and disloyal individuals, while also sending her resources so that she could stay peacefully in the Tagor Desert with her people and cause trouble for the Mulan Empire.
The two sides had maintained a good understanding, and she didn't believe that Jia Xingtian would embarrass her for the sake of a mere Dou Ling expert.
"hehe!"
Zhang Yuan chuckled as he looked at Medusa's confident demeanor not far away.
Medusa narrowed her long eyes and turned to look at him, her eyes filled with undisguised scrutiny.
"Yuan-di, what are you laughing at?" Qing Yanjing asked in a low voice.
Of course, her question did not escape the ears of Medusa and the others.
“I laugh at Her Majesty the Queen; she ultimately lacks some political wisdom,” Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
"Oh?" Medusa chuckled coquettishly, "You said I have no wisdom."
“It’s political wisdom.” Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, “I don’t know why Your Majesty is so confident that you would let Elder Jia hand me over to you. Perhaps he has something to ask of you, or perhaps he has some kind of fear.”
"But you shouldn't have made this request in public, in front of so many Battle Kings."
"If he agrees, what will those powerful people think of him? What will they think of the royal family in the future?"
"So even if he might have been willing to hand me over to you as a compromise, he absolutely cannot agree to it now."
Zhang Yuan's gaze swept over several Dou Wangs not far away.
Medusa raised her hand and touched her delicate chin, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
At this moment, Jia Xingtian spoke up, saying, "Medusa, I would never betray the people of the Empire. You had better leave immediately, or I will have to experience your methods again."
As he spoke, Jia Xingtian unleashed the aura of a peak Dou Huang.
Medusa withdrew her hand and smiled with interest: "You were right. It seems you are quite clever. I am even more eager to make you work."
As soon as she finished speaking, Medusa's fighting spirit surged, combining with external abilities to transform into several large red-scaled snakes that flew out and attacked Jia Xingtian.
To attack without even a word—that's no wonder Queen Medusa prefers to let her strength speak for itself.
"Medusa, how dare you!"
With a roar, Jia Xingtian immediately mobilized the earth elemental energy in the outside world, condensing a huge earthen wall of fighting spirit in front of him, from which shot out arrows of fighting spirit earth.
This is a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill, a thousand waves surge!
Under the onslaught of these earth arrows, the several large red energy snakes were quickly dealt with.
But that short time was enough for Medusa to come to Zhang Yuan and extend her jade hand for the third time.
"Kid, if you can't openly agree to Jia Xingtian's request, can't you at least try to stop him and then fail?"
"My strength is far greater than his!"
Medusa secretly transmitted her voice to Zhang Yuan, saying that he might have some so-called political wisdom, but he was still too green and did not understand the character of that old scoundrel, Jia Xingtian.
"Her Majesty's wisdom is growing rapidly, knowing to whisper such things to me in secret."
Zhang Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he unleashed his full fighting spirit, channeling it into the Four Dragons Thunderfire.
Swish.
He transformed into a bolt of lightning and retreated rapidly.
However, Medusa was prepared and suddenly clasped her hands together.
Swish!
A huge, red, tongue-spitting serpent flew out from her hands and caught up with Zhang Yuan in an instant, opening its massive mouth.
This speed is extremely fast, but if Zhang Yuan uses his full strength, he can still escape.
But he didn't do that; instead, he watched quietly.
"boom!"
Another layer of earth-colored energy appeared out of thin air, blocking the attack of the giant red serpent.
With a flicker of fighting spirit wings behind him, Jia Xingtian arrived not far in front of Zhang Yuan in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm?" Medusa's eyes showed suspicion.
That old codger Jia Xingtian is actually going all out today.
Could it be that they're afraid those few Battle Kings nearby will notice something?
A normal Dou Wang wouldn't have the ability to tell whether a peak Dou Huang was using their full strength in a fight, but one of those people seemed to be Dan Wang Gu He, who possessed powerful soul force, so he might be able to tell.
So, the character of Xing Tian was added to the story?
"Let me see if you, you old codger, have made any progress over the years."
