Returning to Jia Ma
Xiao Yu mostly entrusted the affairs of the Underworld caravan to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Of course, Xiao Yu still needed to personally take charge of the Underworld's guards. Apart from the dozens of Shadow Guards that Ling Ying had given him, the Underworld had no other powerful figures.
While Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were out busy, Xiao Yu, Cai Lin, and the others left the inn and strolled around Twilight City. The new beginning might be a good change for Twilight City. They could see the joy on everyone's faces after the Blood Sect was destroyed, and the whole city seemed to have become more vibrant.
After spending a few days in Twilight City, Xiao Yu prepared to leave. The system said the next sign-in location was in Heavenly Snake Valley. When Qing Lin left, she specifically told Xiao Yu the location of the Heavenly Snake Mansion in the Northwest Continent. The valley where Heavenly Snake Mansion is located is called Heavenly Snake Valley.
These past two days, Xiao Yu has been pondering whether he should first go to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to acquire the Prison Suppressing Divine Body. However, after hearing Elder Hai's words, Xiao Yu decided to return to the Jia Ma Empire first, and then to Wu Tan City to relocate his clansmen to the Black Corner Region.
Xiao Yu and Elder Hai were admiring the moonlit view from the rooftop, drinking wine. Looking up at the bright moon, Elder Hai suddenly said, "Let's go back to the Jia Ma Empire sometime!"
Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Elder Hai with a smile, "What? Elder Hai wants to go back to the Jia Ma Empire?"
Elder Hai glanced at Xiao Yu and said meaningfully, "I am alone, with no ties to anyone. Whether I return to the Jia Ma Empire or not makes no difference. You are different from me!"
Xiao Yu didn't react for a moment, then chuckled and said, "What do you mean, 'no'? I've always seen the Great Elder of the Mittel Family respect you, haven't I? Besides, if you go back, the Mittel Family might even come with us to the Black Corner Region to set up camp. Then, the Underworld and the Mittel Family can join hands and take over the Black Corner Region and even the entire Northwest Continent. Wouldn't that be great?"
Elder Hai glanced at Xiao Yu speechlessly and said, "Little Fox, you've even set your sights on me? My old arms and legs can't take this kind of torment anymore, so forget it!"
"But don't you have a girlfriend in Mittel?" Elder Hai said with a wicked smile as he looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu then realized what Elder Hai's look meant. In fact, he and Ya Fei had already established a relationship, and Xiao Yu was the one who changed Ya Fei's cultivation talent. It was just a pity that Ya Fei's foundation was too weak, so he wanted her to be stronger before coming to the Black Corner Region. However, now that the Black Corner Region was no longer a threat, it was not impossible for her to come!
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Elder Hai has reminded me. I'll make a trip to the Jia Ma Empire right away to clear up the family matters. The Jia Ma Empire is ultimately too small!"
Elder Hai took a sip of his wine, looked at the city under the moonlight, and said, "You can go in peace. Leave this place to me. A few small fry won't bother the Underworld!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "That's true. Elder Hai is an elder of the Underworld, so he has to do his part, hahaha!"
Elder Hai shook his head, chuckled, and scolded, "You little rascal, I really don't know who can get away with this!"
The next day, Xiao Yu told Xiao Ding and the others about his idea. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li both agreed that he should move his family here. Zi Yan also kept saying that she wanted to go and see the Jia Ma Empire when she heard that he was going there. Although Cai Lin did not say that she wanted to go back, Xiao Yu still asked her to go back and see the country. It just so happened that the Snake People Clan were on the border of the Jia Ma Empire.
Although Cai Lin didn't particularly like the Jia Ma Empire, there was no harm in going back, so she nodded and agreed to go back together. Thus, the four of them left Twilight City and headed directly towards the Jia Ma Empire. With their combined strength, they no longer needed flying beasts and could fly directly using their Dou Qi Wings, greatly reducing the time spent on the journey.
In just ten days, Xiao Yu and his group arrived in a small town on the border of the Jia Ma Empire, intending to rest there briefly before heading directly to the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire.
The town is located near the border, and most of the people here are veterans of the empire who come here to have some fun and find some food.
As soon as Xiao Yu and his group entered the town, they immediately attracted the attention of the men there. Of course, everyone looked at Cai Lin, after all, Medusa's allure was no less than her fearsome reputation.
However, Cai Lin was extremely annoyed by these gazes. Her narrow, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint energy ripple spread outwards. The men around Cai Lin felt a sharp pain in their eyes, followed by a dizzying sensation in their heads, as if they were about to explode!
Cai Lin didn't go for the kill; otherwise, these people would have been killed by the energy long ago. But strangely enough, Xiao Yu felt that Cai Lin was much more humane now than when they first met in the Snake People Clan. He didn't know why!
After Xiao Yu and the others had passed through the street, they gradually recovered. They were extremely shocked by Cai Lin and the others who had just passed by, and they all left the area.
After a short rest in the town, Xiao Yu and his group left. Little did they know that shortly after they left, an imperial army appeared there, led by Mu Tie, the garrison commander of Xiao Yu Town Ghost Pass!
Mu Tie led his army to search the entire town but failed to find the powerful woman his men had described. He turned to an old soldier beside him and asked, "Are you sure that woman's strange attire meant she came from the Chuyun Empire?"
The veteran nodded repeatedly, saying, "I'm certain. That woman, dressed in a red dress, with her cold and ruthless eyes and her mysterious and unpredictable poison skills, must have affected everyone present. You can ask them if you don't believe me!"
Mu Tie frowned and said, "If she used poison, would you all have survived?"
"Maybe, maybe they want to go to the Imperial Capital, so they're just teaching us a lesson here!" the veteran guessed.
Although Mu Tie wasn't entirely sure, he still had to report the matter. After all, the Chuyun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire had been embroiled in constant friction for the past few months, so it was best to be cautious. What if the Chuyun Empire sent a few Poison Master to the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Capital to release poison? That would be disastrous!
Xiao Yu could never have imagined that just one glance from Cai Lin would lead the veterans to mistake him for Poison Master from the Chuyun Empire. However, they were unaware of what was happening here. Before sunset, Xiao Yu and his group had already arrived outside the Imperial Capital.
When Xiao Yu brought Cai Lin and the others into the Imperial Capital, the bustling Imperial Capital immediately attracted the attention of Zi Yan and Little Xiao Nian. Cai Lin was also dragged around the streets by Little Xiao Nian and Zi Yan.
After following behind for a while, Xiao Yu said with a faint smile, "Alright, let's go to the Mittel Family manor first. I'll show you around properly tomorrow!"
