Not long after Xiao Yan left Desert City, Mo Cheng arrived there with Qing Lin.
He headed straight for Hai Bodong's shop.
"We're closed. No maps for sale today."
Hai Bodong was preparing to enter secluded cultivation. Without even looking to see who had come, he was ready to chase his visitors out.
"Ice Emperor Hai Bodong?"
However, Mo Cheng had come for the Demonic Flame Remnant Map, and he would not leave so easily.
"Hmm? Who are..."
Hai Bodong looked up and was about to ask who the visitor was, but when he saw Xiao Yan's Shadow Clone beside Mo Cheng, looking exactly like Qing Lin, he immediately understood what was happening.
After joining the Mercenary Corps, he had learned a little about Xiao Yan and the others' plans.
Thus, he could roughly deduce that this man was Mo Cheng, who had killed him twice.
But he could not understand why Mo Cheng would come to his shop like a madman.
Could he ultimately not escape the fate of being killed in a single move?
"Hai Bodong, I heard you obtained a remnant map some years ago. Give it to me, and I won't disturb your life in seclusion."
Mo Cheng walked into the shop with a smile as he spoke.
Hai Bodong ignored him. Instead, he secretly used the Mercenary Corps' communication function to tell Qing Lin, who was in the room, to hide in the Mercenary Plaza first.
"What remnant map? I don't know what you're talking about."
After notifying Qing Lin, Hai Bodong spoke calmly.
He kept reminding himself that he was the Ice Emperor, that he was no longer the man he had once been, and that he had become a Half-Step Dou Zong.
*There's no way this old bastard can kill me in one
