Queen Medusa

Lin Yuan withdrew his thoughts and said in a clear voice, "Elder Hai, there are some things I need to explain to you."

"Please enlighten me, young friend." Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Hai Bodong landed beside him, his manner carrying a bit more respect and gratitude, and his tone was very amiable.

Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, "I've already removed the parts of Medusa's seal that could be directly undone. If the remaining parts were forcefully removed, they would trigger a violent energy conflict inside your body, and that would endanger your life. So I changed to a more gradual method."

After a pause, Lin Yuan continued, "I sealed off the Snake Curse Seal and the energy-link channel inside your body. From now on, her seal won't be able to draw energy from you to maintain its strength. The seal will slowly weaken until it disappears, and during this process, your strength will also gradually recover."

Hai Bodong was overjoyed. "Really? From what you're saying, the seal on me will slowly disappear?"

"That's right. This is a method I came up with during this period of time to thoroughly resolve her seal. But it will take a certain amount of time."

"About how long?"

"If you wait for it to dissolve naturally, the process should be completed within a few years. Of course, if you frequently attack the seal and actively wear down its power, speeding up the process, I estimate the seal's power can be completely exhausted in a few months." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and gave his estimate.

"Excellent. This damn seal is finally about to disappear. Hai Bodong is infinitely grateful. According to our agreement, both I and the Mite'er Family will obey Your Excellency's commands." Hai Bodong spoke solemnly. Since he had decided to place his bet, he would follow it through to the end.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony either. I do indeed have some matters that require Elder Hai and the Mite'er Family to contribute effort. First is this." As he spoke, Lin Yuan handed a long list to Hai Bodong. "The Mite'er Family is a mercantile family. I need them to keep an eye out for me and collect the items on this list."

Hai Bodong took the list and found many things written on it, including all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, secret arts, and special Dou Skills.

"There's one more thing. I've written the details in this notebook." Lin Yuan handed Hai Bodong a notebook.

Hai Bodong accepted it and looked through it briefly. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said with some surprise and confusion, "Are you planning to make a move against the Misty Cloud Sect? Or do you think someone's piece has landed in the Misty Cloud Sect and want to probe them?"

"Both. But for now, Elder Hai, it would be best if you left this place first. There may be a great battle here soon. With your current strength, staying here would be very dangerous, and the one coming probably won't be very friendly toward you either." Lin Yuan acknowledged Hai Bodong's guess and instructed him.

Hai Bodong gave Lin Yuan a deep look, but did not continue asking. He had already guessed the main figures in this great battle. One was definitely Lin Yuan. As for the other, if he was not mistaken, it should be Queen Medusa.

The young man before him actually had the confidence to fight Queen Medusa? Hai Bodong could not help feeling stunned inwardly.

Thinking of Queen Medusa, Hai Bodong's heart grew a little uneasy. After being tormented by her seal for so many years, he could be considered to have a psychological shadow toward Queen Medusa.

Hai Bodong took out a token from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Yuan. "This is the highest-level VIP Token of the Mite'er Family. With it, you can receive the highest-level treatment at every station of the Mite'er Family. I will wait for you at the Mite'er Family headquarters in Jia Ma Holy City."

"Good. After some time, I'll come find you. When the time comes, perhaps I'll be able to give you a decent gift." Lin Yuan accepted the token and agreed to Hai Bodong's invitation.

"Many thanks. I will handle your matters properly for you. Take care." Having said that, Hai Bodong spread his ice wings and flew in the direction of Jia Ma Holy City. Before long, he vanished from Lin Yuan's sight.

After watching Hai Bodong leave for a while, Lin Yuan looked west. He could feel a powerful aura heading this way.

"Has she come? Queen Medusa."

Not long after the words fell, an incomparably beautiful purple figure appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.

Seeing the legendary Queen Medusa with his own eyes, Lin Yuan could not help having a flash of amazement pass through his eyes. She was a peerless woman who combined bewitching charm and stunning beauty. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her figure exquisite, and her whole body was filled with an intoxicating allure.

Between her eyebrows lingered a trace of empress-like nobility and grace. Her long, narrow, pale-purple eyes shifted with a naturally born enchantment.

She was indeed the most beautiful woman Lin Yuan had seen so far.

"The aura of heavenly flame, the same as that magma world. Was it you who took away the heavenly flame there?" Looking at the nine-star Dou Wang before her, Queen Medusa frowned slightly. From Lin Yuan's body, she could sense a powerful fire energy faintly emitting destructive fluctuations, extremely similar to the lingering aura in the underground cave where she had spent enormous effort yet gained nothing.

Thinking of this, the look Queen Medusa gave Lin Yuan became a little more dangerous. It must have been the person before her who had beaten her to her prey.

Seeing Queen Medusa's gaze, Lin Yuan thought, Looks like I'll have to come out swinging.

As if provoking her, Lin Yuan revealed a teasing smile and lightly snapped his fingers. A cluster of Core Flame of Green Lotus appeared at his fingertip, nimbly flowing between his five fingers, while the depths of his eyes became extremely clear and cold.

"Are you talking about this? If you want it, come take it. The premise is that you can catch up to me. Haha."

With that, Lin Yuan's figure moved. He spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew at top speed in the direction away from the desert.

When Queen Medusa saw Lin Yuan's provocation, frost filled her face. A mere Dou Wang dared to provoke her? Was he relying on the heavenly flame? Or on how fast he could run? It seemed she had made too few moves in recent years, and the people of the Jia Ma Empire had all forgotten her vicious reputation. Queen Medusa sneered inwardly and chased at top speed in the direction Lin Yuan had flown.

Watching Queen Medusa constantly close the distance between them, Lin Yuan gave a soft laugh and formed a hand seal. Immediately, behind him, a pair of almost tangible purple-black wings extended out along Lin Yuan's Azure Fire Wings. They looked as if the azure flame wings were attached atop the purple-black wings. After both pairs of wings appeared at the same time, Lin Yuan's flying speed soared, and his speed was surprisingly no worse than Queen Medusa's at peak Dou Huang.

This pair of purple-black wings was naturally the Wings of the Eagle Lin Yuan had obtained from the cave. Although after advancing to Dou Wang, the flying speed of wings formed from Dou Qi could surpass the Wings of the Eagle, one major reason flight Dou Skills were extremely precious on the Dou Qi Continent was their stacking property. Stacking wings would greatly increase speed. Naturally, there was also a drawback, which was that it consumed a great deal of Dou Qi.

But for the current Lin Yuan, consuming Dou Qi was not much of a problem. After cultivating the Heavenly Flame Secret Codex, this earth tier high-grade cultivation method, Lin Yuan had gained a qualitative leap in Dou Qi recovery speed. Using stacked wings to fly for long periods could no longer be considered a major drain.

Queen Medusa pursued Lin Yuan relentlessly from behind. As time passed, she grew increasingly astonished. This kid was shockingly fast, so fast that he could compare with her, a peak Dou Huang. However, Medusa did not give up the chase. The hope for her evolution—the heavenly flame—had finally appeared before her. If she let the person before her run away, who knew how much effort it would take to find heavenly flame again? This opportunity was right before her eyes. She absolutely could not miss it.

One azure and one purple streak of light flew across the sky, heading in the direction of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
