Only a Dou Wang
The Mittel Clan manor was deathly still in its Council Hall; a somber air hung over everyone's faces. →
Some sighed, some frowned, some gritted their teeth, and many more were helpless and despondent.
As the three entered, everyone looked up and their eyes lit up for a moment upon seeing the aloof and beautiful woman, but then their gazes immediately dimmed again.
"Your Highness, please take a seat?" Ya Fei, pointing to the head seat after leading the two into the hall.
Yao Ye shook his head, glanced at Qian Ye, declined Ya Fei's offer, and sat down with him in an empty seat to the side.
Ya Fei paused for a moment, then walked to the main seat and sat down without saying anything.
Then, after glancing at everyone, she turned her gaze to Yao Ye: "First of all, welcome to the Mittel Clan manor. As the head of the Mittel Clan, I thank you for your arrival."
Yao Ye simply smiled and returned the greeting, "Clan Chief Ya Fei, there's no need for such formalities. I've come here specifically regarding the conflict between your Mittel Clan and the Mist Yun Sect."
Upon hearing Yao Ye's words, everyone's eyes lit up. With the help of the royal family, their Mittel Clan would no longer be isolated and helpless. Even if they couldn't defeat the Mist Yun Sect, protecting themselves shouldn't be a problem.
It all depends on how they help.
"Oh, then I wonder if Your Highness has any good methods to repel the enemy?" Ya Fei asked.
Yao Ye smiled again, glancing at Qian Ye beside her, thinking to herself, "As long as the Imperial Preceptor is here, what is the Mist Yun Sect?" ☮♕ 💘ඏ
No matter how powerful the Mist Yun Sect is, they would be half-dead if they faced a Nine-Star Dou Zong.
Qian Ye glanced around the hall and his gaze fell on the man in the wheelchair opposite him. He was already disabled. After a quick calculation, he realized that this must be Xiao Yan's elder brother Xiao Ding.
His strength was average. After the Xiao Clan's incident, the entire clan fled to the Desert Metal Mercenary Company founded by the Xiao Ding brothers for refuge. However, they were caught up by the Mist Yun Sect and the Hall of Souls and were crippled.
Just as Xiao Ding was about to be killed, the arrival of Ice Emperor Hai Bodong saved Xiao Ding.
If it weren't for Hai Bodong, Xiao Ding would probably already be dead in Desert Metal City.
Then, glancing at the seats in front, he saw an elderly man with white hair sitting there, his eyes slightly closed, dressed in a blue robe, calm and composed. It was clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person, and his aura was extremely strong.
A name immediately popped into Qian Ye's mind: Hai Bodong, known as the Ice Emperor.
Hai Bodong's cultivation level should be around five stars now. He hasn't leveled up for some years, probably because he suffered a serious injury in his early years and couldn't break through.
However, its combat strength is extremely formidable.
And they are highly experienced.
Of course, he would also feel powerless in the face of a stronger opponent.
Take Yun Shan, for example; even as Dou Zong expert, he felt helpless. ☜🍪 ♣💝
He's not as powerful as Xiao Yan, who possesses Heavenly Flames technique that would allow him to defeat enemies far stronger than himself.
"One person is enough to repel the enemy," Yao Ye of silence.
"One person?" Everyone was stunned. It was hard to believe that one person could repel the Mist Yun Sect. Moreover, they knew that it wasn't just the Mist Yun Sect's forces that were involved, but another force as well. How could one person possibly do it?
Even Dou Zong experts thought it was unlikely, after all, Yun Shan was only Three-Star Dou Zong, and without the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Zong, it was impossible to compete with the Mist Yun Sect.
"Alone?" Ya Fei's expression darkened, but one shouldn't strike a smiling face, especially since the person was there to help. Even if she was being mocked, the person in front of her was the eldest princess of the Jia Ma Empire, and she couldn't afford to offend her. Moreover, this princess wasn't just any princess; she was the emperor's successor. "Your Highness, who is the person you're referring to?"
Yao Ye looked at Qian Ye: "Yes, this is the man beside me. By the way, perhaps you don't know him yet, so today I'll formally introduce him to you. He is the newly appointed Imperial Advisor of our Jia Ma Empire."
"The Imperial Advisor?" Everyone was dumbfounded. After thinking for a moment, they wondered what kind of strength he possessed that allowed the Jia Ma Empire's royal family to appoint him as the Imperial Advisor. Moreover, he was someone they didn't even know.
Ya Fei already knew Qian Ye's identity, so she wasn't too surprised. She was just curious whether the face under his mask was familiar or whether she knew him.
As for whether someone is handsome or not, a woman like her is never short of men of all kinds trying to curry favor with her. She's seen it all before and has become indifferent to it. She only cares about the other person's strength and whether they are as outstanding as Xiao Yan.
However, seeing that Qian Ye's gaze didn't notice her side but instead looked at Hai Bodong and Elder Mittel Tengshan, the feeling of being ignored made her write another note in her notebook, secretly vowing to take revenge a hundredfold in the future.
Fortunately, Qian Ye didn't listen to her inner thoughts, or he would have laughed himself to death.
"Clan Chief Ya Fei, is there a problem?" Yao Ye asked, noticing that the other party seemed unhappy. She understood that the other party doubted Qian Ye's strength and naturally felt that her intention to help was not genuine but rather a way to tease them, so her displeasure was understandable.
"No!" Ya Fei denied, "We are overjoyed that Your Highness and the Grand Preceptor have come to help our Mittel Clan. However, Your Highness, please don't forget that Mist Yun Sect, the former sect leader of the Yun Shan Sect, is no ordinary person. He is Three-Star Dou Zong, and the Mist Yun Sect has many Dou Wang and is aided by a mysterious force. They are not easy to deal with. Once you join the battle, your Life will be in danger."
He then glanced at Qian Ye and said with a smile, "And what about the Grand Preceptor? We'd like to know your strength so we can plan our battle strategy in advance."
Hehe →_→, your words have a hidden meaning!
Qian Ye could easily tell that Ya Fei was doubting her own abilities. However, without her, he could put this woman aside for now and basically ignore her, letting her calm down before making any decisions.
It has to be said that the current Ya Fei is quite different from the Ya Fei of the past. After all, she has risen to a higher position, with greater responsibilities and power, and has become somewhat arrogant.
She has developed a sense of loneliness at the top, after all, she has gone from being a worker to a big boss, and she no longer needs to do everything herself, she can just point the way from behind the scenes.
"Hehe!" Seeing that Ya Fei looked down on Qian Ye, Yao Ye became displeased. She wasn't very familiar with Ya Fei, nor did she have any good feelings towards her. Moreover, Ya Fei was the new patriarch of the Mittel Clan, whom she had never met before, so she naturally wouldn't give her any face. "Although the Imperial Preceptor is only a nine- Star Dou... Dou Wang, he is not an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Wang."
She originally wanted to say that Qian Ye was Nine-Star Dou Zong, but having just received a warning from Qian Ye, she could only say a lower level, simply stating that he was Nine-Star Dou Wang.
"Nine-Star King???" Everyone shook their heads, their faces filled with disappointment, like wilted eggplants.
Dou Wang???
Ya Fei's expression also turned sour. She closed her eyes slightly and thought to herself, "The royal family really doesn't value our Mittel Clan. They just sent a Dou Wang to be a scapegoat. Oh well, something is better than nothing. Dou Wang Dou Wang is fine. At least he's Nine-Star Dou Wang, with one foot already in the Dou Huang level. He still has the power to fight!"
"Oh, what does Your Highness mean?"
"Although the Imperial Preceptor is only Nine-Star Dou Wang, he also has another identity: an alchemist, and Seventh-Tier Apothecary at that."
