Queen Medusa's Whereabouts! [Seeking Reads!]

Twenty years have passed, and the Jia Ma Empire has finally birthed a Dou Zong powerhouse.

After all, perhaps only a Dou Zong could force a Dou Emperor to bow their head and submit.

"Hahaha, since you aren't afraid, why should an old man like me, having lived this long, fear death?"

Hai Bodong let out a hearty laugh, effectively deciding to follow this young man.

If one isn't reckless in their youth, can they even be called young? When he was young, he was even wilder than this!

He was the type who would tear the roof off the house if left unchecked for three days.

"Then let's not delay; I will break your seal now," Xiao Ze said with a calm gaze.

Hai Bodong's decision was within his expectations; after all, no one would feel good after being sealed for twenty years.

For a Dou Emperor, it was even more agonizing than death.

Following this, Hai Bodong led the two of them to an underground ice chamber.

"Let us begin here. Queen Medusa has restricted me for twenty years. Whether I can return to my peak depends on you, young friend Xiao Ze."

Hai Bodong's face showed anticipation. Although breaking the seal usually required a tier-six Break-Edict Pill, for a Dou Zong, there was no need for such trouble; one could simply suppress it by force.

Xiao Ze nodded and raised his right hand. He unleashed his full Dou Zong aura, and Hai Bodong, sitting before him, immediately felt immense pressure.

As the energy surged into his body, Hai Bodong's body atop the ice platform suddenly began to tremble violently. Fierce ripples of energy radiated rapidly from within him, and wherever these ripples passed, the surrounding tables and ice pillars shattered with a series of cracking sounds.

Then, at the center of his forehead, a strange, dark cyan energy condensed rapidly. A moment later, it formed a tiny, dark cyan snake-shaped seal.

The snake mark coiled on Hai Bodong's forehead, tightly locking away the surging Dou Qi within his body.

Seeing this, Xiao Ze immediately reached out his right hand, grabbed the mark, and refined it in an instant.

However, a seal placed by a peak Dou Emperor could hardly stump a three-star Dou Zong like him.

The entire process was swift; by the time Hai Bodong reacted, it was already over.

Feeling his thick, surging Dou Qi, a rare flush of excitement appeared on Hai Bodong's aged face.

"Haha, this is the feeling! It's back, everything is back!"

"This damned seal is finally gone! I am a Dou Emperor once again!"

Stepping onto the ice platform, Hai Bodong's body floated into mid-air like a bolt of lightning. His face was filled with wild joy as he threw his head back and laughed maniacally.

The intense sound waves, carried by his Dou Qi, caused the cracked ice layers in the surroundings to shatter with a loud boom.

His five-star Dou Emperor aura erupted like a geyser.

Under this formidable pressure, the ice crystal layers within the basement began to crack.

"Old man, take it easy. There is no good end for those who act wild in front of the Master."

Xiao Zi's words were like a bucket of cold water.

Only then did Hai Bodong realize he had been a bit too carried away.

"My apologies, young friend Xiao Ze. I was overcome with emotion and lost control for a moment."

"Five-star Dou Emperor. It seems your recovery is quite good, Elder Hai." Xiao Ze's gaze swept over Hai Bodong, and he nodded with satisfaction; this trip had been worth it.

"So, when shall we strike the Misty Cloud Sect? I haven't fought in twenty years; I'm already itching for a battle!"

Having recovered his peak cultivation, Hai Bodong couldn't wait to attack the Misty Cloud Sect immediately. After decades of inactivity, his hands were restless.

"No rush. I will go after I have subdued Queen Medusa."

As soon as these words left his mouth, the smile on Hai Bodong's face froze.

Having learned his lesson, the mere mention of Queen Medusa now filled his heart with a trace of fear.

If he were given the chance to turn back time, he would never have been foolish enough to provoke Queen Medusa.

"Is young friend Xiao Ze planning to conquer Queen Medusa?"

Xiao Ze nodded.

Queen Medusa was, after all, a peak Dou Emperor. If he could engage in a little "two-person game" with her, there would be no need to risk his life swallowing Heavenly Flames to advance to the Dou Zong realm.

By then, with two Dou Zongs, why would he fear the Misty Cloud Sect?

"Young friend Xiao Ze, please be careful. Do not underestimate Queen Medusa; I was only sealed last time because I was careless."

Hai Bodong offered this advice out of kindness; the Snake-People Tribe was different from humans and extremely dangerous.

"Elder Hai, rest assured, I have everything under control," Xiao Ze said, boosting his own confidence.

If he were still a peak Dou Emperor, he would indeed need to be careful, but he was a Dou Zong now.

When facing a Dou Emperor, even if he couldn't kill them in a single blow, crushing them was absolutely no problem.

Moreover, he possessed countless high-level Dou Techniques; he would certainly make her howl on this trip.

Knowing that further persuasion was useless, Hai Bodong stopped trying and simply wished him luck before handing him a precise map.

"This accurately records the exact location of the Snake-People Tribe. Following the directions on this will save you quite a bit of time."

Taking the map, Xiao Ze carefully unfolded it and easily found the location of the Snake-People Tribe's territory.

At the same time, three flame symbols were particularly eye-catching.

Hai Bodong pointed at these three flames and explained, "These three flame symbols conceal Heavenly Flames. I believe this should be quite important to you."

"Since I've gained such a massive advantage, I must show some appreciation, otherwise this old man would appear stingy."

"Then I thank you." Xiao Ze glanced at Hai Bodong and accepted the offer readily.

This could be considered a great favor, as Queen Medusa might not necessarily be staying within the Snake-People Tribe territory.

These three locations where Heavenly Flames were hidden were the most likely places to find Queen Medusa.

"Since everything is prepared, we shall take our leave now."

Watching Xiao Ze's departing back, Hai Bodong could only wish them good luck.

When they returned, it would be the day to declare war on the Misty Cloud Sect.

He needed to make preparations during this time.

The scorching sun hung high, with yellow sand stretching across the horizon.

Xiao Ze and his party traveled through the vast desert.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time.

A city appeared, standing tall amidst the desert. Xiao Ze stood on Xiao Zi's back, his gaze filled with a hint of anticipation.

"Master, shouldn't we be looking for Queen Medusa? Why have we come here?" Xiao Zi asked, puzzled.

Xiao Ze smiled and said, "My two elder brothers are here. It has been a long time, so I thought I would come to see them."

Since they were young.

These two brothers had always taken good care of him, but they hadn't met since they left the Xiao Clan.

Now that he had recovered his cultivation, his two brothers would surely be happy to see him.

Filled with anticipation, the two soon entered Stone Desert City.

This place was different from the cities within the empire; it faced constant attacks from the Snake-People Tribe, so the people here appeared full of vigor, all exuding an iron-blooded toughness.

Even the defenses were much stricter, with fully armed soldiers patrolling everywhere.

After asking the locals, Xiao Ze soon arrived at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

"Big Brother, Second Brother!"

"I've come to see you!"
