Chapter 318: The Situation in the Jia Ma Empire The Calm Before the Storm
Who is controlling my fate?
For a Dou Venerate to manipulate my life… I am truly miserable!
Does this mean I really have to become a monk to escape this wretched destiny?
No…
I am a man destined to become a Dou Emperor how could I possibly become a monk?!
Tuoshe Ancient Emperor: … This emperor is getting nervous…
Hun Tiandi: I… don't want to be a Dou Emperor anymore!
Gu Yuan: Yeah… same here…
Xiao Xuan: … I'm just a lingering spirit, man…
Xiao Yan's gaze was sharp as he stared daggers at his floating teacher, Yao Chen. If looks could kill, Yao Chen would have died a thousand times already.
This old monster had immediately tried to erase his memory the moment he saw those Pinyin inscriptions he clearly knew who left them!
He was deliberately keeping it from him!
Who the hell was messing with him?
Why was someone specifically targeting him?!
Wait
Targeting him?
In the entire Dou Qi Continent, his only real enemies right now were the Yun Lan Sect.
Aside from them, there was only that mysterious Wu Gan, the man who had suddenly appeared in the Xiao Clan, showered them with kindness, and ultimately got him exiled from his own family!
Could it be…
Could it really be that mysterious Wu Gan?!
Xiao Clan… Wu Gan… Snake People Tribe… Guardian Elder Wu Tian?!
It's him! He is Wu Gan!
He's been playing me from the start!
He's been stealing my women!
He's a transmigrator just like me!!!
"Gulp "
"Gulp, gulp, gulp~~~"
A sweet, bitter taste slid down his throat.
Xiao Yan's soul collapsed.
It's over… my memories are about to be erased again!
No I have to remember!
It was Wu Tian who set me up!
I can't forget him!
Wu Tian: … Why do I feel so uneasy?
Being obsessed over by a man… this feels weird…
"If love is forgotten, and tears refuse to fall… If all the pain is erased, what will be left at all? Gulp "
"Gulp, gulp, gulp~~~"
As more "medicine" was forcibly poured down his throat, Xiao Yan's consciousness faded…
His eyes slowly closed.
Beside him, Xiao Ding gently pulled the blanket over him and turned to Yao Chen with a grateful expression.
"My younger brother has been under your care all these years… You've really done so much for him!"
Yao Chen calmly waved his hand and said,
"We're all family no need to be so formal. I came here not just for Xiao Yan but also for the Xiao Clan."
"Oh?"
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li frowned in confusion as they looked at him.
Yao Chen's expression darkened.
"When we arrived at New Desert City, we didn't see you… but we ended up fighting both the Yun Lan Sect and the Hall of Souls."
"Hall of Souls! Yun Lan Sect!"
Hearing those names, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's fists tightened.
Their entire clan had been destroyed by these two monstrous forces this was a blood feud they had to avenge!
If not for the Snake People Tribe, they wouldn't have even known about the Hall of Souls, let alone had any chance of revenge.
And now, even if they set aside the Hall of Souls, they weren't strong enough to challenge the Yun Lan Sect either.
"Senior, have they already started moving in the Jia Ma Empire?"
Xiao Ding asked cautiously.
Yao Chen nodded solemnly.
"Yes. The Hall of Souls and Yun Lan Sect sent five Dou Kings and one Dou Zong to attack New Desert City."
"Dou Zong???"
The two brothers were shocked.
A Dou Zong expert had appeared in the Jia Ma Empire?!
And from the way Yao Chen spoke, it wasn't even Yun Shan, the leader of the Yun Lan Sect.
That meant this new force was far more terrifying than expected!
Yao Chen no, Yao Zun Zhe clasped his hands behind his back and continued in a deep voice.
"The Snake People Tribe handled the Dou Kings easily. As for the Dou Zong expert… I forced him to flee."
"…What?"
Both brothers stared at Yao Chen in shock.
Their eyes burned with admiration as they looked at their little brother's teacher.
He was strong enough to drive away a Dou Zong?!
That meant he was an absolute powerhouse!
"Xiao Yan is way too lucky…"
"What kind of fortune did he accumulate in his past life to be chosen by such a terrifying master?!"
Xiao Yan: ...
When Xiao Yan woke up and heard them saying this, he would wholeheartedly agree.
His teacher was truly a selfless man so selfless that he didn't mind drugging him just to erase his memories.
…
Yao Chen then explained the current situation in the Jia Ma Empire.
He told them that the Snake People Tribe had united the empire's various forces to fight against the Yun Lan Sect.
This was the Xiao Clan's best chance for revenge!
Moved by his words, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li consulted the remaining clan elders
And then they decided to leave the cave!
…
They carried the still unconscious Xiao Yan out with them.
The cave fell silent once more.
The only thing left were the mysterious Pinyin inscriptions carved into the wall.
…
Meanwhile, outside
For the past two days, the Jia Ma Empire had been unusually peaceful.
Whether in the empire itself or the Tagor Desert, everything was eerily calm.
There were no battles between powerful experts, and even Dou Kings who once flew across the sky freely were nowhere to be seen.
Everyone knew
This was the calm before the storm.
A massive battle was brewing.
In those two days, even the Empire's guardian finally awoke.
When Jia Xingtian heard his great granddaughter, Yao Ye's report, his old eyes welled up with tears.
"The Jia Ma Empire still stands… this is truly a miracle."
And it was all thanks to one person
The Snake People's Guardian Elder.
That terrifying old man who burned off all his hair.
Jia Xingtian had long known that this man's ambitions would never be confined to the Jia Ma Empire.
And sure enough, he had proven it.
With his power alone, he had quelled the long standing conflict between the empire and the Snake People Tribe.
The war that had lasted for countless years
Had ended because of him.
Even though Desert City now belonged to the Snake People, it was far better than before.
There was no more bloodshed, and peace had allowed prosperity to grow.
After hearing everything, Jia Xingtian immediately ordered Yao Ye to ascend the throne and form an alliance with the Snake People Tribe.
Yao Ye did not refuse.
This was a time of crisis and she was the only one in the royal family who could speak with the Guardian Elder.
If Jia Xingtian perished in the coming war, the empire needed a ruler.
If the Yun Lan Sect won, they were doomed.
If the Snake People won, the royal family would still be in an awkward position.
Now, if Yao Ye became Empress, the Guardian Elder might just spare them.
