Ice Emperor MC: Entrapment

"Blade-furiously cleaving the Snow-Winged Eagle!"

"Mountain-boldly charging into the clouds!!"

"Fire-churning and blazing!!!"

"Sea-raising waves ten thousand fathoms high!!!!"

A large, dark-green off-road vehicle raced through the desert, the soft yellow sand unable to stop its thick, massive tires. Even from far away, one could hear some seriously swaggering music and a deep male voice roaring along.

"Wind-cannot scatter the mist and clouds!"

"Flower-cannot drift beyond the horizon!!"

"Snow-falls into my heart!!!"

"Moon-just like that heavenly fairy!!!!"

The view drew closer. A white-haired old man sat in the driver's seat, wearing black sunglasses. He held the steering wheel with one hand while making all kinds of strange gestures with the other, chanting all the while.

It was none other than the legendary MC... Ice Emperor.

Luo Yang sat in the passenger seat, also wearing sunglasses, enjoying the exhilaration of racing through the desert in an off-road vehicle. Wearing headphones, he was immersed in his own rhythmic world.

In the back seat, Qing Lin and Yun Yun wore pink and blue sunglasses respectively, along with beach hats.

They leaned their upper bodies out through the sunroof, spreading their arms to enjoy the refreshing breeze and freedom.

Originally, "Flying Free" had been playing, but their driver, [Ice Emperor MC], had suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to sing, switching the music and launching straight into a mic-shouting performance.

It was his favorite, "Mountains of Blades and Seas of Fire."

Hai Bodong's voice was naturally deep and powerful, so he had no need to deliberately lower it while shouting into the mic. Had Hai Bodong been born in the world Luo Yang had lived in before transmigrating, he would at least have been a minor internet celebrity with ten million followers.

They had originally planned to use Dou Qi Wings to fly straight to the Jia Ma Empire. Luo Yang could also transform into Salted Egg Superman Tiga, which would have been even faster.

But just as they were finally about to set off, Luo Yang had a sudden flash of inspiration and activated [Bulkhead].

[Bulkhead] was from Transformers. Although his combat strength only reached eight-star Dou Ling at its highest, he was more than sufficient for Luo Yang to use purely as a ride.

It was Hai Bodong's first time seeing such a novel "car," and he could hardly bear to let it go. Thus, he became their driver, and the onboard music even awakened his musical talent.

Occasionally, he even threw in a line or two of his own lyrics...

"Storm~ Misty Cloud! Beat Yun Shan! Only with me, the Ice Emperor, can there be a heaven!"

"Sell~ maps! Break the seal! When it comes to going all in on investments, I'm the toughest..."

Though Luo Yang, Yun Yun, and Qing Lin were not particularly fond of Hai Bodong's homemade mic-shouting lyrics, they... respected them.

After all, the old man was already getting on in years. Now that he had found a new hobby like this, it was best not to discourage him too much...

They sped along like the wind and lightning. The mercenaries and desert magical beasts they encountered all scrambled aside; those too slow to dodge had already been run over and killed.

After all, these were only first- and second-order magical beasts and Dou Zhe and Dou Shi mercenaries. Against [Bulkhead], who was equivalent to a human Dou Ling expert or a Fourth-Order Magical Beast, a knock meant death and a graze meant injury.

[Bulkhead]'s speed through the desert was far beyond anything other luxury cars could match, and before long, they reached a small town on the Jia Ma Empire's border.

Here, Luo Yang and Yun Yun parted ways.

Luo Yang still had something to deal with here, while Yun Yun needed to hurry back to handle the Misty Cloud Sect's affairs.

They agreed to meet again later in Jia Ma Holy City.

"La cha-cha~ la dee-dee-lee..."

On the streets of Salt City, "Qing Lin" hummed a little tune, her hair styled into turquoise twin tails. She wore a futuristic uniform paired with a pleated miniskirt and over-the-knee stockings.

Most distinctive of all was the meter-long green onion in "Qing Lin"'s hand, which she waved as she hummed.

As "Qing Lin" wandered the streets in such outlandish attire, passersby stopped to watch.

Gradually, some of them noticed the abnormality in "Qing Lin"'s eyes and began discussing it, wondering whether it was that piece of news that had been circulating lately.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils...

Although they had not known what the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils even were when they first heard the news, more information soon followed, explaining their origins and functions in full.

Many were skeptical, unable to believe that such tiny eyes could command all the snake-type magical beasts on the Dou Qi Continent, with the wielder's cultivation rising along with them like a boat on a rising tide.

There were those who did not believe it, those who doubted it, and, of course, those who did believe it. For example...

"They really are the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils..."

Within the crowd, several fellows in clan attire stared fixedly at "Qing Lin" with sinister gazes. After whispering something among themselves, one of them, who looked very much like an extra, quietly slipped away.

"Qing Lin" seemed not to know where she wanted to go either, simply wandering aimlessly down the street.

Just as "she" passed an alley...

"Young Master won't get into trouble, will he...?"

In a distant corner, Qing Lin watched from beneath a black robe, looking toward the spot where that "Qing Lin" had vanished. She could not help worrying.

Beside her, Hai Bodong, likewise wearing a black robe to conceal his face, remained expressionless.

"Don't worry. He never does anything he isn't confident about."

There was not the slightest trace of panic in Hai Bodong's eyes.

Even setting aside Luo Yang's secret technique that instantly turned him into a Dou Zong expert, his current strength as a three-star Da Dou Shi alone made challenging a Dou Ling across ranks no problem at all.

Yesterday, Luo Yang had proposed this "entrapment" plan, using the Disguise Technique to disguise himself as Qing Lin.

Several days earlier, Luo Yang had already instructed Hai Bodong to spread information about the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, all to attract the Mo Clan's attention.

Once the Mo Clan's people could no longer resist making a move, they would have a reason to slaughter the entire Mo Clan. Jie-jie-jie-jie...

"Let's go. We don't need to worry about his side. It's time for the next step of our plan..."

Hai Bodong turned and walked in a certain direction.

Besides the entrapment aimed at the Mo Clan, Luo Yang actually had another plan.

Ultimately, the Mo Clan was only a small fish. It would do as an appetizer, but the real main course was still to come...

Salt City lay in the eastern provinces of the Jia Ma Empire, with broad roads carrying traffic to and fro. It was also the largest city in the empire's eastern provinces, and heavy forces dispatched by the empire held it year-round.

The Mo Clan was Salt City's largest clan. Salt City had four major clans, but because the Mo Clan had the Misty Cloud Sect backing it, it had managed to monopolize 60% of the city's industries.

Over the years, the Mo Clan had committed plenty of utterly unconscionable evils under the Misty Cloud Sect's banner, bullying men and tyrannizing women. Yet the other three major clans and the common people at the bottom only dared to feel anger, not voice it...

At that moment, inside the Mo Clan's bunker...

"Mo Lin, how are the preparations coming along?"
