People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 102 The Wealthy Cao Family

In the pale sky, an eagle nearly two meters in size flew across the sky.

On its back stood a girl in a black dress.

Beside Feiying, a middle-aged man with a stern expression was walking in the air, strolling leisurely.

Walking in the air is the most direct manifestation of ability after being promoted to Dou Zong, and can be regarded as the symbol of a Dou Zong powerhouse.

"Fourth Uncle, why are we slowing down?"

"Because we're already inside the Jia Ma Empire. Although this empire in the northwest continent isn't very strong, it's quite vast. We're unfamiliar with the area, and searching alone would be too time-consuming. We need to find someone to ask. Coincidentally, someone from the rear is coming over."

Although the stern man was very powerful, he was very patient in explaining the doubts of the girl in the black dress.

As soon as he finished speaking, he completely restrained his breath.

Along the way, Cao Xi has gained a very clear understanding of the strength of the northwest continent.

A Dou Zong expert is already an existence that countless people in this area can't even dream of.

Therefore, if his aura is not restrained, few people dare to approach him.

As expected, after his breath disappeared, he noticed that two more strong auras were coming out from the city he had just passed by, coming at a very fast speed.

Soon, even the girl standing on the eagle's back could see three figures appearing in her sight one after another.

Flying in the front was a handsome young man in a white robe.

He looks very young, but the pair of gorgeous ice-blue fighting wings behind him show that he is a powerful warrior above the level of Dou Wang.

Behind him, there were two girls, one big and one small. They were flying very close to each other, like a mother and daughter, or a pair of sisters. Their relationship could not be determined for the time being.

These two women are also quite powerful.

Soon, the three of them discovered them in the distant sky, restraining their breath and waiting. After a slight hesitation, they approached cautiously.

On the opposite side, as the distance got closer, Chen Xiao could see the two people and one beast waiting more and more clearly.

The Dou Zong aura that was sensed earlier was actually emitted by that middle-aged man, but his specific strength was unknown.

Even Queen Medusa, who followed closely behind, could not see through it.

On the back of the flying eagle stood a tall and slender girl in a black dress. She was obviously not very old, but had a very good development. She had a cold and arrogant temperament, skin as white as snow, and her black hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Her cheeks are slightly thin, but extremely delicate, like porcelain, and very eye-catching.

She stood on the back of the eagle, looking out slightly, her narrow and slightly lazy eyes revealing a natural charm and allure.

"I've met senior."

After taking a quick glance, Chen Xiao and the other two greeted first.

Even someone as cold and arrogant as Queen Medusa was no exception at this moment.

After all, although she has evolved successfully, she has not yet shed her snake body and it will take a little time.

In other words, she is not yet a true Dou Zong expert, so she dare not be rude.

"Don't be nervous, I just have something I want to ask you."

Cao Xi spoke slowly, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

There is no need to say much about Chen Xiao and Zi Yan, their age and strength are enough to surprise people.

As for Queen Medusa, Cao Xi could even sense that her condition was very strange. She seemed to have crossed the Dou Zong barrier, but had not been able to fully advance to the Dou Zong level.

But what she lacked was definitely just a little time.

"I came to the Jiama Empire to go to Wutan City to look for a man named Chen Xiao. Have you heard of him?"

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Queen Medusa and Zi Yan both looked strange, not understanding what was going on.

Since you came to find Chen Xiao, why don’t you know him?
Moreover, what a coincidence, he happened to find Chen Xiao to ask about it, which was really hilarious.

Chen Xiao already had some guesses about the identities of these two people, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but become more certain.

"Replying to Senior, Chen Xiao is my friend. I can contact him for you. I wonder if you are..."

"Zhongzhou, Cao family... No, you should tell him that it was Miss Qinglin who asked us to come." Cao Xi replied.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao no longer had any doubts.

Qinglin himself, for the time being, is not enough to earn the Cao family such respect.

But Qinglin has always been with Xun'er, so his status is different. Even the Cao family, one of the five major families in the Dan area of ​​Zhongzhou, is still not worth mentioning in front of the ancient clan.

The gap between them is like that between the Xiao family of Wutan City and the Yunlan Sect.

It's even more exaggerated than this.

Therefore, Cao Xi’s current attitude is easy to understand.

The girl next to Cao Xi also felt a little moved at this moment.

She only knew that some time ago, the Cao family welcomed several distinguished guests, which made the entire family attach great importance to them, but she didn't know what those distinguished guests talked about with the top management of the Cao family.

But the next day after that, she was told a good news that there was an ownerless strange fire in the far northwest continent, and her family would send someone to bring her there to collect it.

There is no need to elaborate on the preciousness of strange fire. It is definitely worth spending a few months on it, because even for high-level beast fire, finding a suitable one sometimes takes more than a few months.

In such a comparison, the cost-effectiveness of collecting strange fire appears to be higher.

In this way, she came to the northwest continent under the escort of Cao Xi.

Along the way, Cao Xi repeatedly warned that the person he was looking for was of special status, and for this reason, he even went to Canaan College to inquire. Such a serious attitude made the girls very curious.

Until now, I finally understand a little more.

Among the distinguished guests who came to the Cao family, it seemed that one of them was named Qinglin.

"Do you have any proof, senior?"

"There is a handwritten letter from Miss Qinglin."

Cao Xi took out a letter from his ring and gestured, but his eyes were always looking at Chen Xiao, making him more suspicious of his identity.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Chen Xiao was able to confirm that the handwriting on the letter was not written by Qinglin, but by Xun'er. Immediately, he smiled slightly and bowed again.

"Senior, actually I am Chen Xiao."

After confirming that the other party was instructed by Xun'er and Qinglin, Chen Xiao no longer concealed it.

A slightly serious smile appeared on Cao Xi's stern face.

"Haha, I guessed it. I had my suspicions the moment I saw little friend Chen Xiao. Before coming to the Jia Ma Empire, I once visited Canaan Academy. There's a kid from my Cao family who practices there. Little friend Chen Xiao should be very familiar with him. From him, we got to know little friend Chen Xiao a little better."

Cao Xi was friendly and addressed him as "little friend", without any airs of a Dou Zong master.

Under this premise, the atmosphere of the initial contact between the two sides was quite harmonious.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and looked at the letter in his hand.

Cao Xi did not hesitate and used his fighting spirit to control it and sent it in front of Chen Xiao.

While Chen Xiao was reading the letter, Cao Xi introduced himself.

"My name is Cao Xi, and I'm the fourth elder in the Cao family. Young friend Chen Xiao and the two of you can just call me the Fourth Elder. This is Cao Ying, a younger member of the family with decent talent."

Cao Ying chuckled and nodded, then bowed slightly.

Except for her, everyone present was above the Dou Wang level.

Moreover, her identity is quite unusual and she is related to those distinguished guests. Under this premise, it is natural for her to lower her posture.

Chen Xiao had finished reading the letter, put it away, and nodded slightly in response.

Cao Ying, the witch of the Cao family...

This person's talent is beyond words. She broke through to become a fighter at the age of seven and became an alchemist. This alone is enough to make countless people ashamed, not to mention her terrifying talent in alchemy.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao remembered some stories he had told Queen Medusa a few years ago. He thought about them carefully and made sure that he had not mentioned the name at that time. Only then did he feel relieved.

Beside him, Zi Yan smiled and waved back.

After confirming that these two people were not enemies and were related to Chen Xiao, she was not nervous at all.

Queen Medusa nodded slightly. She valued Cao Xi as a Dou Zong. As for Cao Ying...

In her eyes, Cao Ying's talent was indeed very good. Although she looked to be in her teens, she already had the strength of a great fighting master. She was the most talented person she had ever seen, except for Chen Xiao.

But anyway, this is just a junior.

What's more, she had heard Chen Xiao say that there was a demon woman in Zhongzhou with even more extraordinary talent.

Therefore, her reaction was calm.

"Young friend Chen Xiao, you should now know why we're here. Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"As it should be, please wait a moment, Fourth Elder."

Chen Xiao nodded in response, then looked at Queen Medusa beside him.

"Long ago," he said, "I considered how to deal with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. After careful consideration, I selected two forces. For various reasons, I am over 90% certain that they will not attempt to seize it, nor will they endanger your Serpent People. Therefore, in order to make it easier to deal with the strange fire later, I would like to bring them into the Holy City. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Medusa glanced at Chen Xiao and asked, "What if?"

just in case…

Chen Xiao shook his head.

This possibility is infinitely close to zero.

The Cao family is wealthy and powerful, and they can obtain the strange fire openly by paying a small price. Why would they risk the whole family playing elimination games by force?

"You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me."

Without saying anything else, Queen Medusa left a word and then, in a burst of light, she slowly shrank and turned into a colorful little snake again. At a speed that Cao Xi couldn't even see clearly, she flew into Chen Xiao's sleeve.

She has evolved successfully, and now is the critical period for her advancement to Dou Zong. If she had not sensed the appearance of a Dou Zong expert and was worried that something unexpected would happen, she would not have shown up.

Looking at Queen Medusa's actions, Chen Xiao was speechless.

Medusa is in a bad mood today.

But thinking that he had seen it before and had accidentally tried it before, Chen Xiao began to understand a little.

Queen Medusa of the Snake People has one thing in common in every generation: they either live alone all their lives, or fall in love with a man and remain loyal to him until death.

Given the purely cooperative relationship between him and Queen Medusa, if the other party had not been so cautious, she would have probably been unable to resist attacking him long ago after these two transgressions.

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Xiao came back to his senses.

"Fourth Elder, Miss Cao Ying, please follow me. Let's discuss this in another place."

After returning to the Holy City, Chen Xiao thought that the elders of the Snake People would be wary and try every means to come and inquire.

However, it was somewhat surprising that the elders never showed up from beginning to end. Instead, Hua She'er came out to greet them and arranged accommodation for Cao Xi and Cao Ying. It was not known whether they had received a reminder from Queen Medusa.

A quarter of an hour later.

After all the trivial matters were arranged, the four of them gathered in the small building where Chen Xiao was temporarily staying.

After taking his seat, Cao Xi waved his hand and a barrier was erected to block the outside world from seeing and hearing.

Immediately, without any beating around the bush, he took out four fragrant sandalwood boxes from the ring and opened them one by one. In an instant, a strong fragrance of elixir filled the room.

"Young friend Chen Xiao, when Miss Qinglin and the others came to my Cao family, they told me that with your cultivation speed, by the time Cao Ying and I meet you, you will most likely have already broken through to the Dou Wang level. So, based on this information, before Cao Ying and I came to the northwest, our family prepared four elixirs that you might need in the future."

"They are the Douling Pill, Huangji Pill, Pozong Pill, and Zongyuan Pill. This is the sincerity of my Cao family!"

"Of course, this isn't all. We know how much help a Strange Fire can provide to an alchemist. Besides that, you can also propose some conditions. We'll slowly discuss them and will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

Look, both wanted to exchange the strange fire, but Gu He in the original trajectory only verbally presented it to Queen Medusa, while the Cao family directly put out the elixir.

It's like having a card worth 10 million gold coins and actually having 10 million gold coins piled in front of you. The two feelings are completely different.

It has to be said that looking at the four pills on the table, Chen Xiao was inevitably moved.
