Elder Hai Returns

"Hehe, the Mittel Family has a long history and a profound foundation. They are also the leading family among the Great Family of the Jia Ma Empire." In response to Xiao Yan's amazement, Elder Hai said proudly.

"Let's go in." After saying this to Xiao Yan, Elder Hai walked forward, speaking to Xiao Yan as he went.

"What... what's going on?" Following Elder Hai forward, after turning a corner, the scene before his eyes immediately shocked Xiao Yan.

The wide streets paved with Blue Stone were guarded by fully armed guards. As Elder Hai arrived, these guards bowed their heads respectfully and shouted, "Welcome back Elder Hai!"

However, considering that Elder Hai possessed the cultivation of Dou Emperor, Xiao Yan felt it was somewhat normal.

After all, the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, the strongest sect in the Jia Ma Empire, only had the Dou Emperor cultivation. Therefore, Elder Hai, a Dou Emperor expert, should be a top-tier figure in the Mittel Family.

"Elder Hai, it really is you! I couldn't believe it when Lin Ming told us." As Elder Hai walked forward, several elderly people with gray hair and Lin Ming also walked towards Elder Hai. Then, the old man in the middle immediately said excitedly.

"Yes! I'm back. Tengshan, although your cultivation hasn't improved much over the years, just the fact that you've nurtured such an outstanding junior Lin Ming means that your efforts haven't been in vain and you've lived up to the family's expectations." Looking at the person speaking before him, Elder Hai said with satisfaction.

Tengshan knew very well what kind of person Elder Hai Mittel. With Elder Hai's proud personality, he was extremely arrogant.

In fact, the fact that Elder Hai was able to steal maps from the Snake People Race when he was only a second or third-level Dou Emperor cultivator shows that Elder Hai was an arrogant person.

Medusa was already a renowned Peak Dou Emperor powerhouse at the time, while Elder Hai, who went to steal the map, was only a second or third-star Dou Emperor. The difference between them was enormous.

Anyone who has reached the Dou Emperor level knows that even a one-star difference in cultivation level can result in a significant difference in strength. This is even more true for Elder Hai, a low-level Dou Emperor Huang, facing Queen Peak Dou Emperor Queen Medusa Huang. The difference in strength between them is therefore quite obvious.

Even so, Elder Hai still went. There were some external factors involved, such as Elder Hai possibly receiving news that Queen Medusa away, but more importantly, Elder Hai was confident in his own strength. Even if he encountered Queen Medusa, he was confident that he could escape with ease.

This can be seen from the fact that Elder Hai escaped in the end. Although the specific circumstances at the time are unknown, Queen Medusa probably used the Snake Person Seal because she found that she could not catch Elder Hai, so she had no choice but to use this sealing technique. Even if he escaped, his cultivation would be greatly reduced.

So now, although Elder Hai's words were somewhat derogatory, Tengshan knew from his expression and the subsequent praise that Mittel was actually complimenting him. After all, given Elder Hai 'Elder Hai personality, it was normal for him to belittle him upon meeting him, and for him to say something like this now meant that Elder Hai was quite satisfied with Tengshan Mittel.

"Elder Hai, congratulations on your return to your clan." Seeing the elderly men with tears streaming down their faces, Lin Ming stepped forward and said to Elder Hai with a smile.

"Haha! Yes, you're back." Elder Hai immediately smiled and exclaimed in response to Lin Ming's congratulatory words.

Currently, the only people here who know that Elder Hai was Cultivation Seal Queen Medusa are Lin Ming, Xiao Yan, Old Yao, and Elder Hai himself.

Lin Ming's words were merely a superficial congratulation to Elder Hai on his return, but those in the know understood that Lin Ming's words were actually a congratulation to Elder Hai on the lifting of his seal and his return to the ranks of Dou Emperor. That's why Elder Hai replied with such emotion.

After all, due to being sealed, he has only been able to cultivate at the level of Dou Ling for many years. For someone who was once Dou Emperor, not only has he been unable to improve his cultivation by any means in such a long time, but even his Dou Emperor cultivation has been greatly sealed, leaving him only able to use the cultivation level of Dou Ling.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, suddenly going from a supreme Dou Emperor to someone who can only exert the power of Dou Ling is something no one could bear. No wonder Elder Hai transformed into an old man selling maps on the edge of the desert.

While some of these motivations stemmed from a desire to find a way to break the seal, others were driven by a significant drop in strength, an inability to face familiar people, and a fear that enemies might seize the opportunity to kill them if they found out.

This is actually quite understandable. Not to mention the world of the Dou Qi Continent where strength reigns supreme, even in Lin Ming's previous life, if a top leader in a company were to suddenly face a major demotion, he would find it unbearable.

After all, you've been suddenly demoted so badly that all your former subordinates are now above you, able to give you orders, and your party enemies will take the opportunity to mock you. No one can stand that, let alone someone like Elder Hai, who has had a smooth and proud career from the beginning.

"Elder Hai, Clan Leader, let's go inside and talk!" Lin Ming said after seeing Elder Hai's sigh.

"Yes, yes, Elder Hai, let's go inside and talk." As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Tengshan Mittel to react immediately and said.

After Mittel Tengshan finished speaking, Elder Hai nodded and walked towards the interior of the auction house, followed by the other Elder Hai people.

"Brother Xiao Yan, congratulations on successfully obtaining and refining it." After Elder Hai and the others left, Lin Ming came to Xiao Yan's side and said with a smile.

"Haha, I have to thank Brother Lin for informing me of this; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain it." Xiao Yan's words were largely polite, but they also carried a genuine sense of gratitude.

Although the information about the Green Lotus Core Flame was obtained at a great cost, it was still from Lin Ming. Of course, if Lin Ming hadn't told me, I don't know how long I would have had to wait to obtain the Heavenly Flames!

Without the Evolution of the Heavenly Flames Flame Mantra, it would forever remain just a Yellow Tier Cultivation Method, and Xiao Yan would never have the possibility of revenge. Therefore, although he paid a great price to obtain the information about the Green Lotus Core Flame from Lin Ming, the final result was good, to the point that Xiao Yan felt some gratitude.

"Haha, Brother Xiao Yan, you said you were destined for great things, so even without me, you probably would have found out anyway. Besides, I've also received many things from you. So this is a transaction between us, Brother Xiao Yan. I feel unworthy of your gratitude! How about this, to make up for what happened back then, I'll Xiao Yan you a 20% discount on all your purchases at the Mittel Auction House." Seeing Xiao Yan's polite demeanor, Lin Ming immediately spoke up.
