Intimidating the Jia Ma Imperial Capital

Seeing that the three women had gotten acquainted, Tang Chen wasted no time. He tore open space and left the small valley with them.

Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

A rift suddenly opened in the sky, and Tang Chen emerged from it with the three women.

The four stood in the void, looking down upon the prosperous city below.

"This is... the Jia Ma Imperial Capital?" Medusa was the first to recognize the city. A puzzled look appeared on her face as she wondered why Tang Chen had brought them here.

Tang Chen did not waste any time. He unleashed a terrifying aura that instantly blanketed the entire Jia Ma Imperial Capital, his imposing voice resounding through the skies above Jia Ma. "Who is in charge of the Jia Ma Empire? Get out here!"

Once Tang Chen's voice rang out, all the major powers in the imperial capital noticed the four figures in the sky.

The Nalan Family, the Mu Family, the Mite'er Family, and countless other factions all looked toward them, trying to identify who they were.

"Standing in the void! They're Dou Zong experts!"

"What a terrifying aura. Who are these people? Did the Jia Ma Royal Family provoke someone they shouldn't have?"

"That woman looks like Medusa! Isn't she a Snake-People Tribeswoman? Could she have broken through to the Dou Zong realm?"

Misty Cloud Sect.

Inside the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun sat in the sect leader's seat, handling the sect's affairs.

Suddenly, she sensed a familiar aura, and her eyes lit up. "This familiar aura... is it my benefactor? My benefactor has come to the imperial capital! Wonderful!"

She immediately put aside her sect affairs, formed Dou Qi Transformation Wings, and shot out of the hall in an instant.

In a secret chamber of the Misty Cloud Sect, a white-haired man opened his eyes.

"What a terrifying aura!" His face was filled with shock. Then, he turned to the black mist beside him and asked, "Is it one of your people?"

Yet he received no response. No sound came from the darkness, and not even a trace of aura leaked out.

Jia Ma Imperial Palace.

Jia Xingtian, the royal family's guardian, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the imperial capital's scenery with a troubled expression.

He could be heard muttering, "There is no path to follow when advancing to Dou Zong."

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky.

Under his horrified gaze, four figures stepped out of the rift, each one standing in the void.

"Dou... Zong!" Jia Xingtian's eyes widened in shock, and even his words came out unsteadily.

But that was not all. The man among those four released his aura, directly shrouding the entire Jia Ma Imperial Capital. The terrifying pressure made Jia Xingtian's legs go weak.

When he heard that man calling for him, Jia Xingtian's eyelids twitched wildly as fear instantly filled him.

Even so, he did not dare delay. He hastily formed Dou Qi Transformation Wings and flew before Tang Chen and the others.

"Jia Xingtian? This old man is still alive?" When Medusa saw the flustered old man flying over, a mocking smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Jia Xingtian arrived before Tang Chen and respectfully bowed. In a humble tone, he said, "Welcome to the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, my lord. I am Jia Xingtian. Please forgive me for failing to welcome you from afar."

"Is this how you treat guests? You won't invite us inside? You expect us to stand here? Hmm?"

Tang Chen's expression turned stern, and a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon Jia Xingtian.

The moment Jia Xingtian felt that terrifying pressure, it was as though five bolts of lightning had struck him. He could not even remain standing.

Facing Tang Chen, he felt like an ant facing an elephant, unable to muster even the slightest will to resist.

After this, Jia Xingtian could determine that Tang Chen was definitely no ordinary Dou Zong. He might be a high-level Dou Zong, or even beyond Dou Zong.

Medusa: This scene seemed strangely familiar...

Seeing that Jia Xingtian had reached his limit, Tang Chen withdrew his pressure.

"Four esteemed guests, please come in! Please come in!"

Once the pressure vanished, Jia Xingtian gasped for breath. Not daring to delay, he quickly invited Tang Chen and the others into the Jia Ma Imperial Palace, his tone incomparably respectful.

After entering the palace, the old fox Jia Xingtian proved quite shrewd. He personally led Tang Chen to the seat of honor, then personally poured tea for them and attended to them with the utmost care. There was not the slightest trace of royal dignity left.

As Tang Chen drank his tea, he shot Medusa a look, as if to say, Look at him, then look at yourself.

Having figured out Tang Chen's temperament, Medusa rolled her eyes at him irritably. Her little queenly temper flared up again.

"My lord, may I ask if there is anything you need us to do?

"If there is, please speak freely. Though the Jia Ma Empire is somewhat impoverished, we still possess some influence on the Northwest Continent."

Jia Xingtian came before Tang Chen and asked cautiously.

Just then, Jia Xingtian had also come to understand something. A great figure like Tang Chen was someone he absolutely had to curry favor with.

If he served Tang Chen well and made him happy, even a tiny scrap that slipped through his fingers would be enough to help Jia Xingtian break through to Dou Zong.

"You know her, right?" Tang Chen did not beat around the bush. He pointed at Medusa beside him.

"This lady is...?"

The old man Jia Xingtian was quite perceptive. He knew that these three women belonged to Tang Chen, so he had not dared look at them.

Only now, after Tang Chen spoke, did he dare examine Medusa carefully. The instant he did, his pupils contracted, and his voice trembled slightly. "You! You are! You are Queen Medusa!"

Seeing Jia Xingtian in such a state, Medusa felt indescribably pleased. Over the years, the Snake-People Tribe had been firmly suppressed by the surrounding major empires, and Jia Xingtian was one of those responsible.

"You recognize her, then? I won't beat around the bush. Medusa is my woman now. Her tribe is my tribe. You know what to do, don't you?"

Tang Chen spoke each word slowly, staring intently at Jia Xingtian as his tone brimmed with threat.

When Medusa heard Tang Chen call her his woman, her cheeks flushed unconsciously. Then, hearing him mention her people, warmth slowly flowed through her heart. Even the way she looked at Tang Chen softened, her gaze carrying a trace of affection.

She had not expected Tang Chen to take this matter so seriously, much less deal with it at the first opportunity. That alone was enough to prove how much he valued her.

"Of course. I will personally resolve this matter. Please rest assured, my lord." Jia Xingtian was already trembling like a leaf. How could he dare refuse? He agreed again and again.

"Do your job well. If you handle this matter to my satisfaction, helping you break through to Dou Zong will be no more than a trivial matter." Seeing Jia Xingtian agree, Tang Chen's tone eased. To ensure Jia Xingtian handled things properly, he dangled a reward before him to make him work harder.

Sure enough, at the mention of breaking through to Dou Zong, Jia Xingtian's old eyes immediately gleamed. He said excitedly, "Yes! This subordinate will certainly handle it well and make you satisfied, my lord."

"And what do you think?" Tang Chen turned to Medusa and asked with a smile.

"Mm..." Medusa nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Tang Chen.

It was the first time Tang Chen had seen Medusa like this. She had a little less of a queen's pride and a little more of a woman's tenderness, giving her an entirely different charm.

At this moment, Yun Yun followed the aura and arrived outside the palace. The moment she entered, she saw Tang Chen seated in the place of honor.

After so many days, seeing the man who had saved her life again filled Yun Yun with joy, and her face was covered in a smile.

"Benefactor! Long time no see!"
