The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

"What Ice Emperor? You've mistaken me for someone else!"

Hai Bodong's expression changed slightly, and he became secretly on guard, even having the thought of killing him to silence him.

After all, Hai Bodong has quite a few enemies. If they knew that he was still alive and that his strength had dropped to the Dou Ling level, they would definitely take the opportunity to kill him.

"Don't lie to me, senior. I'm not a three-year-old."

Nalan Sheng waved his hand and said, "My surname is Nalan, and my given name is Sheng. My grandfather was named Nalan Jie. I have seen your portrait in person, so I am sure I have not mistaken you for someone else."

"So you're that old bastard Nalan Jie's grandson!"

Upon learning of Nalan Sheng's background, Hai Bodong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He did not continue to deny it, but nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I am the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong."

"Senior, what are you doing here?"

Nalan Sheng feigned doubt and asked, "And your cultivation level seems..."

"This is a long story, best left unsaid!"

Seeing Nalan Sheng's hesitant expression, Hai Bodong couldn't help but give a helpless wry smile. He then changed the subject, saying, "Alright, for Nalan Jie's sake, I won't hold it against you. Just return that incomplete map to me!"

Nalan Sheng did not return the incomplete map to Hai Bodong. Instead, he revealed a somewhat amused smile and said, "Senior, if I'm not mistaken, you should have the other half of the incomplete map, right?"

How did you know?

Hai Bodong's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that you've seen other fragments of the map?"

"It's more than just seeing it!"

Nalan Sheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took out both fragments of the map from his storage ring: "I have a complete fragment in my hand."

Seeing this, Hai Bodong's eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he said in a tempting tone, "Young friend Nalan, since you only have a fragment of the map and it's useless to you anyway, why don't you sell it to me? I can trade it for a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill or a high-grade spiritual medicine."

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing Nalan Sheng suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason, Hai Bodong couldn't help but frown.

"Senior, I think you may have misunderstood."

Nalan Sheng smiled and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, the treasure corresponding to these fragments of the map should be some kind of strange fire."

"For an alchemist like me, this strange fire is indeed a very precious treasure, but for you, it's practically useless."

"What? You're saying this is a fragment of a diagram of a different kind of fire? I don't believe it!"

Hai Bodong's expression suddenly changed drastically, becoming somewhat distorted.

It's no wonder Hai Bodong reacted so strongly; the reason he was hunted down by Queen Medusa back then was because of this fragment of the map.

Hai Bodong had always believed that the treasure recorded on this fragmented map was a legacy left behind by a peerless powerhouse.

If the treasure corresponding to this fragment of the map is indeed a strange fire, then Hai Bodong has really suffered a huge loss.

"Senior, if you don't believe me, why don't you take out the incomplete map and piece it together?"

After Nalan Sheng finished speaking, he placed the two fragments of the map in his hand on the table in front of Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong initially thought Nalan Sheng was lying to him, but when he saw a flame pattern drawn in the corner of the large fragmented painting, his lips began to twitch slightly.

Because Hai Bodong himself had drawn a map of the strange fires and used flame patterns to represent the locations of the strange fires on the map, he had no choice but to believe that the treasures corresponding to these fragments of the map were strange fires.

After staring at the large and small fragments of the map for a while, Hai Bodong reluctantly took out the other small fragment and pieced the three fragments together.

After Hai Bodong pieced together the three fragments of the map, he also discovered that the treasure map was still incomplete, with at least two more fragments missing.

Nalan Sheng glanced at the two small fragments of the map and found that there were no flame patterns on them. He finally understood why Hai Bodong had not discovered that this was actually a fragment of a different kind of fire.

"Senior, there's no use for you keeping these fragments of the Different Flame Diagram. Why don't you sell them to me? Maybe I'll get lucky someday and be able to collect the rest!"

"..."

Hai Bodong was silent for a moment before saying, "I can sell you these two fragments of the map, but you will need to exchange them for Sand Mandala."

"Sand Mandala?"

Nalan Shengjian frowned slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, the Sand Mandala should be a high-level spiritual medicine unique to the Tagor Desert, and it can only be found deep in the Tagor Desert, right?"

"Senior, the depths of the Tagor Desert are the territory of the Snake People. Are you sure you're not just trying to trick me into going to my death?"

"well……"

Hai Bodong sighed and said, "Kid, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. The reason my cultivation level dropped to the Douling Realm is because I was hit by Queen Medusa's sealing technique."

I need to use the Sand Mandala to refine a special elixir to remove the sealed power within my body.

If I were to personally venture deep into the Tagor Desert, Queen Medusa would surely sense the sealing power within me.

Besides, I didn't ask you to go deep into the Tagor Desert yourself; you can hire others to search for the Sand Mandala!

"I see."

Nalan Sheng nodded with a look of sudden realization, then changed the subject and said, "However, if you want to remove the sealing power from your body, you don't need to specially refine any pills. Perhaps I have a way to help you remove the sealing power from your body."

"you?"

When Hai Bodong heard Nalan Sheng say this, he couldn't help but show a strange expression.

Although Hai Bodong was unable to sense how high Nalan Sheng's cultivation level was due to the influence of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, judging from his age, he was at most a Dou Zhe.

Hai Bodong did not believe that a mere fighter could remove the sealing power from his body.

"Senior, with my current cultivation level, I definitely cannot directly remove the sealing power from your body."

Nalan Sheng naturally understood Hai Bodong's meaning and explained without changing his expression: "However, I accidentally obtained a rare treasure, which is specifically designed to counter all kinds of sealing power."

To be honest, I'm not sure if this rare treasure can actually remove the sealing power from your body, but there's no harm in trying.

"If this rare treasure cannot remove the sealing power within you, then I will hire someone else to obtain the Sand Mandala for you."

"Okay, then give it a try!"

Seeing that Nalan Shengdu had put it this way, Hai Bodong naturally had no objections.

"Then consider these fragments of the map as a deposit."

Nalan Sheng raised his hand and waved it away, putting away the three fragments of the map on the table.
