Chapter 287: Ya Fei Seeks Refuge in the Jia Ma Empire
Bringing along too many Dou Huang experts would only slow things down.
Now, with the mighty Guardian Spirit, cradling the twin tailed treasure hunting dragon Zi Yan, with Cai Lin, the seven colored Swallowing Python, wrapped around his waist, and riding atop the Seven Star Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the journey became lightning fast.
After all, with the Amethyst Winged Lion King having evolved into a Seven Star Beast, its speed was unrivaled in the entire Northwest Continent.
Beside them, a white bearded old man flew along none other than the Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong.
Since Wu Tian had assigned Hai Bodong to oversee Jia Ma Empire, Chu Yun Empire, and other regions, it was only right to put him to work!
If he did well, a promotion was inevitable.
…
Three days before Wu Tian set off
Jia Ma Empire, Imperial Capital.
Inside the Mitchell Clan, three figures sat together, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
At the head of the hall, a stunningly beautiful woman sat elegantly, while across from her sat two middle aged men.
"Ya Fei, you called us here so urgently what happened?"
One of the middle aged men asked grimly.
Ya Fei's gorgeous face was serious as she bowed slightly.
"Clan Leader Tengshan, Elder Leo according to Hai Lao's intelligence, Yun Lan Sect is brewing a massive scheme, and the destruction of the Xiao Clan is undoubtedly related to them!"
"Now, Yun Lan Sect is on the move again. We don't yet know who their next target is, but their ambitions must be immense. Perhaps…"
Mitchell Tengshan, the head of the Mitchell Clan, furrowed his brows.
"If Hai Lao, despite his strength, still had to remain hidden… then Yun Lan Sect's power must be truly terrifying!"
"I may be among the Top Ten Experts of the Jia Ma Empire, but at the end of the day, I'm only a Dou Wang. Compared to them, I'm far too weak. We must not act rashly."
Beside him, Elder Leo's expression darkened.
"Clan Leader… do you think Yun Lan Sect's next target might be…"
"Us."
Ya Fei's voice turned icy cold.
"Clan Leader, Elder Leo that's exactly what I fear. After all, we are not like the Xiao Clan!"
"Xiao Ding and Xiao Li only survived because they had the protection of the Snake People Tribe, all thanks to that mysterious, terrifying figure they rescued."
"But our Mitchell Clan? Even with Hai Lao… he has already left."
Tengshan and Leo both sighed in frustration.
They had no solutions if it weren't for Hai Bodong's warnings, they wouldn't have even heard about this threat.
It was only because of Hai Bodong that the Mitchell Clan had begun taking Ya Fei seriously.
With a Dou Huang powerhouse as her backer, Ya Fei's status had skyrocketed.
In just half a month after the Xiao Clan's destruction, she had become a core figure of the Mitchell Clan.
This alone proved just how monstrously talented she was.
Even with Hai Bodong's support, no ordinary person could rise to such heights so quickly.
But Ya Fei was no ordinary woman.
She knew very well that Hai Bodong wasn't her true backer.
The real power behind him… was that young man he obeyed!
She didn't know exactly who Wu Gan was, but if even Hai Bodong, a mighty Dou Huang, submitted to him, then he must be beyond terrifying.
Her sharp, intelligent mind had already made a guess
Perhaps… Wu Gan was that legendary figure!
And if that was the case, then Ya Fei had nothing to fear.
Even Clan Leader Tengshan had to admit this woman was a true genius.
She may lack talent in cultivation, but when it came to governance and strategy, she was unrivaled.
With a deep sigh, Tengshan spoke solemnly.
"Ya Fei, from now on, the entire Mitchell Clan is in your hands."
"I… and Elder Leo… will follow your lead."
Ya Fei nodded calmly, showing no hesitation whatsoever.
This was a matter of survival there was no time for politeness.
"Then I will immediately dispatch envoys to contact the Snake People Tribe…"
…
The Mitchell Clan's actions were swift and secretive and their success was guaranteed.
Why?
Because of Hai Bodong.
He was not just a friend of Queen Medusa and the Guardian Elder he was one of their closest confidants.
For the Snake People Tribe, protecting his clan was only natural.
If Hai Bodong knew about this, he'd be overjoyed.
After all, he was the first witness to Wu Tian and Medusa's love story.
…
Tagore Desert, Royal Capital of the Snake People Tribe.
In the grand Council Hall, the Three Great Elders, Eight Commanders, and the Captain of the Royal Guard were gathered.
Standing among them were also Wu Tian's personal attendants Green Man and Qing'er, both Dou Huang powerhouses.
However, two important figures were missing Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
The alluring Yue Mei smiled seductively.
"According to our intelligence, Yun Lan Sect is preparing to make a move."
"They are likely targeting the Jia Ma Empire itself."
"The Mitchell Clan, one of the empire's Three Great Families, has reached out seeking our protection."
"The one who contacted us… was none other than Ya Fei, a close friend of the Guardian Elder."
The Royal Guard Captain, Hua She'er, responded coolly.
"Hai Bodong has risked everything for our tribe. He has endured countless hardships on our behalf."
"We cannot ignore his clan's plight."
The Three Great Elders nodded in agreement.
"Indeed. We must go to their aid."
Everyone in the room understood the sacrifices Hai Bodong had made for the Snake People Tribe.
He had followed the Guardian Elder's orders and risked his life infiltrating enemy territory to gather intelligence.
For that alone, they owed him a great debt.
