Tagor Desert.
Twenty years later, it was a desolate region.
Twenty years ago, it had also been a desolate region.
And on this very day twenty years ago.
Within a canyon in Tagor Desert.
In this desolate region, a fierce battle erupted—one rarely seen even across several countries surrounding the Jia Ma Empire.
The caliber of this battle rivaled the martial tournaments held by the many sects of the Northwest Continent. After all, one combatant was Ice Emperor Haibodong, who had once participated in the Northwest Sect Tournament, while the other was Queen Medusa, the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, who relied on her formidable cultivation and the inheritance passed down through generations of Snake Queens to deter the Jia Ma Empire from making any rash moves.
Either of them would have been far from unknown on the Northwest Continent.
Yet now, they were fighting here.
Fighting in this barren desert.
If one did not know the full story, merely looking at the current standoff and the surrounding circumstances made it difficult to understand why such a conflict had erupted—or what precious thing could possibly be worth two Dou Emperors risking their lives over in such a remote place.
But if one knew the full story...
Of course, that was impossible...
Even Ice Emperor Haibodong, one of the parties involved and the man riding the ice dragon, was utterly baffled by the sudden attack from this Snake-People Dou Emperor. He did not understand how this Snake-People Dou Emperor had found them, nor did he understand why Snake Woman Die, whom he had been protecting all along, was worth a Snake-People Dou Emperor personally coming to kill her. The other onlookers were not even involved, so it was even more impossible for them to grasp the whole picture.
