Ice Emperor Hai Bodong (Please Bookmark, Please Follow)

Mo City

"Young friend, what would you like?" The old man watched the young man before him with a wary expression.

The moment the young man stepped into the shop, the old man had sensed that he was no ordinary person. What had someone like him come here for?

"I came to find you, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!" Lin Yu sat down as if no one else were there and smiled at Hai Bodong.

The moment Hai Bodong heard that this man knew his name, he became even more guarded. He had concealed his identity here for a long time. Could it be that one of his old enemies had tracked him down?

For an old Dou Huang like him, it was impossible that he had not done a few shady things in the past, so Hai Bodong immediately considered that possibility.

Now that his strength had greatly declined, perhaps some old enemy had come to strike while he was weak and take his life!

"Young friend, have you come to seek revenge?" Hai Bodong assumed a stance, ready to strike at any moment.

It would be fine if he was not an enemy. But if he was, then there was no need for further words.

"Hehe... no need to be nervous. I'm here to help you!" Lin Yu picked up a map nearby and sat at the table to examine it. Hai Bodong's battle-ready posture had no effect on him whatsoever.

Seeing Lin Yu's attitude, Hai Bodong felt greatly humiliated. He had once been a Dou Huang, after all. Although his cultivation was now sealed, couldn't the boy at least show some vigilance?

"What is your purpose?" Although Hai Bodong wanted nothing more than to rush over and slap Lin Yu twice, he forcibly suppressed his anger. As an old Dou Huang, he still possessed that much reason.

"It's nothing major. I can cure you, and in return, I want you to do me a favor!"

Lin Yu wanted Hai Bodong to guard the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. In the original story, the Mo Family Ancestor had even kidnapped Qing Lin! Although he would keep Qing Lin by his side in the future, the mercenary group was still the force belonging to his two older brothers. Having a Dou Huang stationed there would help prevent trouble before it arose!

"I, Hai Bodong, will not do anything immoral or wicked!" Hai Bodong flicked his sleeve and clasped his hands behind his back, looking quite righteous.

Lin Yu laughed at Hai Bodong's appearance. "Hehe... I just need you to guard a faction for me! I'm not asking you to do anything—just lend it some prestige. Only show yourself when necessary, that's all!"

"Is that true?" Hai Bodong could hardly believe it. It was really that simple? His seal could only be lifted with a Po'e Pill, and a Po'e Pill was a sixth-grade medicinal pill!

What Hai Bodong did not know was that Lin Yu only needed 500 points to exchange for a Po'e Pill from Xing Luo! However, Lin Yu had no intention of using a Po'e Pill. He had another idea!

"Of course! I can remove your seal. I'm not in the mood to lie to you!" Lin Yu spread his hands, as if saying, believe it or not.

"If you're willing, I can remove your seal today!"

Hai Bodong was tempted. Today? Judging from this man's aura, he should be quite powerful. It would not hurt to give it a try!

Hai Bodong made up his mind. "Fine! I'll believe you!"

"Then come with me first. I'll remove your seal!" Lin Yu stood and walked over to Hai Bodong.

"Oh, right. Do you need to pack anything?"

"No need!" Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, right, there's a fragmentary map." As he spoke, he began searching around the room.

That fragmentary map was part of the map to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. Lin Yu did not need it. He knew when the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame would emerge, and he believed that by then, he would possess the absolute strength needed to absorb it!

"No need. I know about that. Leave it here! Those fated to obtain it will obtain it!"

"Fine, then let's go." Although he had lived here for many years, when it came time to leave, he felt no attachment to the place.

Lin Yu walked in front of Hai Bodong and placed one hand on his shoulder.

He gently closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them. His pupils were crimson, and a Hexagram Pattern slowly rotated within them.

Before Hai Bodong could even marvel at it, he felt a powerful suction force.

Lin Yu focused his right eye and sensed the spatial mark he had left at his original location before coming here. A burst of suction erupted from his eye, pulling both Hai Bodong and Lin Yu into it.

Desert Iron Mercenary Group

A vortex appeared within Xiao Yi Xian's courtyard, and two figures slowly emerged.

"Master!" Seeing that the newcomer was Lin Yu, Qing Lin ran over to him in delight.

Because of what had happened earlier, Qing Lin had not seen Lin Yu for a while, so she could not help worrying. Now that Lin Yu was unharmed, she was naturally happy.

Xiao Yi Xian also walked over at this time. "Who is this?" Looking at the old man who had come with Lin Yu, she saw that although he appeared aged, he possessed an extraordinary bearing!

Lin Yu introduced him to Xiao Yi Xian. "He is the Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong!"

"So it is Lord Ice Emperor. I have long heard of your great name. This little woman is Xiao Yi Xian." Xiao Yi Xian might not have known Hai Bodong personally, but she had heard of the Ice Emperor's reputation. He was one of the Jama Empire's ten strongest experts!

"Hehe... all empty fame, empty fame."

"Alright, enough of that. Xian'er, see if you can absorb the poison in his body." Although it was called a seal, Lin Yu still believed it was merely a poison that targeted one's cultivation. In Naruto, seals were removed with techniques, but Hai Bodong's seal could be lifted with a Po'e Pill in the original story. Could medicinal pills remove seals? Detoxifying poison made more sense!

"Poison? This is a seal!" Hai Bodong did not believe him. He had borne this seal for many years, so he naturally knew that it only sealed his cultivation and did not affect the rest of his body. How could it possibly be poison?

"That's just what you think! Have you ever seen a seal that could be broken with medicinal pills? To put it bluntly, this poison only targets your cultivation! Stop talking and let her try first. If it doesn't work, I'll give you the pill!"

Lin Yu was very impatient. He wanted to verify his idea as quickly as possible.

"Fine, then go ahead!" Seeing that Lin Yu was getting angry, Hai Bodong relented. Trying would not hurt, and what Lin Yu said was not without reason!

Xiao Yi Xian walked behind Hai Bodong and pressed her jade-like hand against his life gate (directly behind the navel), immediately activating the Invisible Poison Attack.

Sure enough, after merely sensing it, Xiao Yi Xian confirmed that the thing inside Hai Bodong's body was poison! It was simply somewhat different—vague and ethereal, impossible to describe.

Then, Xiao Yi Xian guided that indescribable thing into her own body.

At the instant it left his body, Lin Yu sensed something indescribable. It felt familiar, like a kind of law! A law somewhat similar to his Space Pupil Technique!

Lin Yu suddenly realized that he had forgotten this was a curse Queen Medusa had placed on Hai Bodong. A curse was poison, yet not poison—it contained the rules of heaven and earth!

In an instant, Hai Bodong felt refreshed all over as his cultivation surged wildly. His Dou Ling cultivation rose all the way to Three-star Dou Huang before finally stopping.

After all, that thing had plagued him for over twenty years. It was understandable that his cultivation could not immediately return to its peak!
