Cooperation!

At that moment, Chen Xuan's expression relaxed slightly.

He looked straight toward the center of the energy explosion.

Within a hundred-meter radius at the heart of the desert, everything had been swallowed by that terrifying energy, leaving a bottomless black hole.

Rustle, rustle!

Endless yellow sand poured into it, as though it were a bottomless pit.

"Holy shit!"

"It was actually that terrifying!"

Even Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically at the sight.

The ground within a hundred-meter radius had been turned into something like a black hole by that energy, resembling a whirlpool in the deep sea.

If it had struck someone directly, even an expert at the Dou Zong level would probably have died!

Cough, cough!

Chen Xuan coughed a few times, his heart trembling.

A Heaven Tier Dou Technique really was in a league of its own!

If I can't control a Heaven-Rank Dou Technique completely, I'd better not risk using it.

One wrong move, and both sides could end up destroyed!

Even if I killed the enemy, I'd probably die under that attack myself.

"Right, where's that old fellow Jia Xingtian?"

"He didn't die, did he?!"

Suddenly remembering something, Chen Xuan scanned the surrounding area.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A hundred meters away, Jia Xingtian stood with his hair disheveled, none of his earlier bearing remaining. His clothes were in tatters, wounds covered his body, and his aura was extremely unstable.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, making it clear that he was in terrible shape.

"You lunatic! You're a lunatic!"

Looking at the devastation caused by Chen Xuan's Dou Technique, Jia Xingtian's eyes filled with horror. He pointed at Chen Xuan in midair and said shakily, "You actually dared to unleash a Dou Technique you couldn't control!"

At the same time, terror surged through Jia Xingtian's heart.

He knew that the Dou Technique Queen Medusa had just unleashed had not taken shape, so its true power had never been displayed.

But...

The energy released merely from it going out of control had already crushed the strongest Dou Technique he could unleash.

If that Dou Technique had been fully executed...

Its power...

Jia Xingtian simply could not imagine it!

Whoosh!

With a flap of his Dou Qi Wings, Chen Xuan appeared directly opposite Jia Xingtian.

"Jia Xingtian! You're lucky you didn't die!"

A hint of amusement appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes as he looked at the wounded Jia Xingtian.

"The Queen doesn't seem to be in very good shape either!"

Sensing Chen Xuan's aura, Jia Xingtian could not help sneering.

Although the Dou Technique Chen Xuan had just unleashed was terrifying and had even caused a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, it was very likely a legendary Heaven-Rank Dou Technique.

Chen Xuan could not control that terrifying power!

"Then do you think I can kill you?!"

Chen Xuan's gaze remained unchanged as he answered Jia Xingtian with a smile.

!!!

Jia Xingtian's face darkened as he stared fixedly at Chen Xuan.

Even if Chen Xuan could not unleash that terrifying Dou Technique, he was still in much better shape than Jia Xingtian.

Having witnessed Chen Xuan's abilities, Jia Xingtian did not believe he could escape from him.

"Hmph!"

"Medusa, if you wanted to kill me, would you waste so much breath?"

"What are you scheming?"

With a cold snort, Jia Xingtian raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Xuan.

Queen Medusa was cold and ruthless, and her fearsome reputation was known throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

If Queen Medusa truly wanted to kill him, she would have acted long ago. Why would she waste so much breath talking to him?

"Hahaha!"

"I like dealing with clever people!"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile deepening.

"What are you after?"

"If you want the throne of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, forget it! I'd die before handing it over!"

A chill appeared in Jia Xingtian's eyes as he watched Queen Medusa laugh.

"No, no, no!"

"Who wants that throne of yours? I'm not that vulgar."

"I think we can reach an agreement."

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, then looked at Jia Xingtian with a serious expression.

An agreement?!

Jia Xingtian looked at Chen Xuan in confusion.

"That's right! Cooperation!"

"We of the Snake-People Tribe no longer want to stay in the Tagor Desert. We need to leave the Jia Ma Empire!"

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Jia Xingtian froze, then looked at him in disbelief.

"What?!"

"You're leaving the Jia Ma Empire!"

Jia Xingtian stared at Chen Xuan in shock.

"That's right. The Tagor Desert is too barren. Our Snake-People Tribe needs to find a new home."

Ignoring Jia Xingtian's expression, Chen Xuan continued, "We've chosen to leave the Jia Ma Empire and head to the Black-Corner Region."

Leave the Jia Ma Empire and head to the Black-Corner Region?!

Jia Xingtian had never imagined that hell and heaven could be so close.

He had already prepared himself to die, only for such wonderful news to suddenly fall into his lap!

The entire Snake-People Tribe was moving out of the Jia Ma Empire!!!

For the Jia Ma Imperial Family, this was simply news as great as the heavens!

One had to understand just how powerful the Snake-People Tribe was now!

One Peak Dou Emperor, four Dou Huang experts, and Eight Dou Wang-level Experts!

No faction in the entire Jia Ma Empire could stand against them.

With the Snake-People Tribe entrenched in the Jia Ma Empire, they posed an enormous threat to the Jia Ma Imperial Family.

And now Queen Medusa was actually saying that the Snake-People Tribe would move out of the Jia Ma Empire???

Good news! Heaven-sent news!

"What kind of cooperation do you want?!"

In an instant, Jia Xingtian understood the immense benefits, and delight appeared on his face.

"I need unobstructed passage all the way from the Tagor Desert to the Black-Corner Region!"

Looking at the delighted Jia Xingtian, Chen Xuan spoke slowly.

"No problem!"

"The Snake-People Tribe will have unrestricted passage through every city!"

Jia Xingtian answered without the slightest hesitation.

After all, removing such an enormous hidden threat from the Jia Ma Empire was a tremendous boon for the Jia Ma Imperial Family.

Compared to that, this matter was no bigger than a sesame seed.

"Very good!" Chen Xuan naturally understood Jia Xingtian's little calculations, but did not care. He continued, "The Snake-People Tribe won't relocate that quickly. We'll move out within ten years."

Ten years?!

Jia Xingtian's expression shifted slightly, but he nodded.

After all, he knew that relocating an entire great race was not so simple.

"Eight Dou Ling Pills!"

"Hand them over!"

Then Chen Xuan looked at Jia Xingtian with a beaming smile.

???

Dou Ling Pills?

What the hell?

Jia Xingtian was instantly dumbfounded, having no idea what was happening.

"You didn't think I'd let you leave for free, did you?" Chen Xuan looked at Jia Xingtian and said slowly, "You broke into our Snake-People Tribe's territory and pried into our secrets, yet you still expect to stroll back without a care?"

"Do you think this is a tourist attraction?"

This...

Jia Xingtian's expression shifted repeatedly. He truly had nothing to say in his defense, but where was he supposed to get eight Dou Ling Pills?

"Your Jia Ma Empire has amassed wealth for hundreds of years. No one would believe you don't even have a few Dou Ling Pills!"

"Before our Snake-People Tribe leaves the Jia Ma Empire, you must deliver those Dou Ling Pills to me!"

Chen Xuan's expression remained calm as he watched Jia Xingtian, who looked as though he had swallowed a fly.

"...Fine!"

"Eight Dou Ling Pills it is!"

"But I hope that by then, the Snake-People Tribe will have left the Jia Ma Empire!"

After pondering for a long time, Jia Xingtian's face turned the color of pig liver. Evidently, even the Jia Ma Imperial Family would find it difficult to produce eight Dou Ling Pills.

"Of course!" Hearing Jia Xingtian's answer, Chen Xuan's face filled with smiles.

Once he obtained those eight Dou Ling Pills, the strength of the entire Snake-People Tribe would undoubtedly skyrocket again, and the eight leaders would grow stronger once more.

This would be immensely significant for the Snake-People Tribe's relocation to the Black-Corner Region.
