Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

But the problem is that the Snake People suddenly split into two parts, causing an embarrassing situation where the head and the tail could not take care of each other. The Luoyan Empire sent strong men to sneak into the desert more than once, trying to completely destroy the part of the Snake People left in the desert.

Fortunately, the Snake People have been managing the desert for many years and have withstood several attacks. However, this is not a solution. Fighting on two fronts will result in huge losses. Most of the wealth accumulated by the Snake People over the years has been consumed. If this continues, they may not be able to hold on.

Lu Yu frowned slightly, something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the Gama Empire and the Snake People are the attacking parties, and the initiative on the battlefield should be in their own hands.

Where does the Luoyan Empire get the power to regain the initiative and launch an attack on the snake people’s base camp?

Isn’t the Jinyan Sect afraid of a head-on surprise attack from the Gama Empire that could defeat them in one fell swoop?

But soon, the reason why the Snake People and the Gama Empire lost the initiative emerged.

Lu Yu's eyes moved downwards. The Izumo Empire, which had been doing little in this battle, took action. The most powerful force in the Izumo Empire, the Wanxie Sect, joined forces with the Izumo Empire's royal family and formed an alliance with the Luoyan Empire.

With this new force, the Golden Goose Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect prepared to turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop. They attacked from two fronts, on the one hand to destroy the Gama Empire on the frontal battlefield, and on the other hand to destroy the Serpent Tribe's base camp from the flank.

In order to achieve this goal, the ancestor of the Wanxie Sect, Xie Bi Yan, did not hesitate to come out of seclusion and prepare to join forces with the leader of the Jinyan Sect, Yan Luotian, to jointly strangle Yunshan and Jia Xingtian who possessed the Youhai Jiao beast.

But fortunately, Tian Du Nu, the leader of the Poison Sect of the Izumo Empire, which has always been allied with the Gama Empire, was promoted to Dou Zong at this critical moment.

He led many powerful men from the Poison Sect to attack the Wanxie Mountains, the hometown of the Wanxie Sect. They surrounded Wei to save Zhao and forced Xie Bi Yan to return for support. This saved the Gama Empire from collapse and also saved the Snake Tribe that was under massive attack.

The situation was balanced again, but the intensity of the war suddenly increased. In every battle, Dou Wang and Dou Ling were injured or killed. The fighting between the lower-level soldiers was like a meat grinder and was extremely bloody.

In the letter, Yun Yun hoped that Lu Yu could return to the Jia Ma Empire, as a high-level alchemist would play a huge role in this war.

Lu Yu's face was extremely gloomy. The Sky Poison Girl, Dou Zong... This meant that Xiao Yixiang's poisonous body had erupted several times. If this continued, her life would be in danger.

"Lü Yu, what should we do?" Medusa frowned slightly, murderous intent and anxiety flashed across her cold and beautiful face. Protecting the snake people was her only pursuit in the first half of her life. This pursuit lasted until recently, when the man in front of her was added.

"Did the snake people contact you using secret methods?" Lu Yu asked, kissing her fragrant hair gently.

"This... not yet." Medusa was stunned for a moment. Logically, the elders of the tribe should contact her.

"That means the situation is not as bad as we thought." Lu Yu continued, "Don't worry, we will return immediately after Zi Yan succeeds in advancing."

Hearing Lü Yu's calmness, Medusa's anxious heart calmed down a little, but she soon frowned: "Are we just going to wait like this?"

"Of course not." Lu Yu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? I have a lot of medicinal materials in my hands. I will start refining pills now to prepare for my return."

"You stay here and control the Earth Demon Puppet to protect Zi Yan. I will go to the valley where we stayed before to make the elixir."

"This... then who will protect you?" Medusa couldn't help but frown. She knew what Lu Yu meant. Lu Yu didn't want Zi Yan to be exposed to the eyes of Xiao Yan and his disciple, so he chose to separate.

"Have you forgotten? I still have a Heavenly Demon Puppet and a Black Talisman Puppet!" Lu Yu said with a smile. Although he had the Heavenly Demon Puppet and the Talisman Puppet, which he didn't use much for the time being, it was still there and he could take it out to fight at any time.

"Okay, then be careful and don't get too tired." Medusa's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache, and she stroked Lu Yu's face and said softly.

"Don't worry." Lu Yu held her soft hand and kissed it gently. He flicked his fingers and the silver earth demon puppet fell down. Lightning flashed under Lu Yu's feet and disappeared into the valley.

Medusa glanced at Zi Yan who was in the center of the spirit gathering array and smiled helplessly, “Girl, I’ve been waiting for you!”

……

In the inner courtyard, there is a small attic where Lu Yu and others live.

Three days after Lu Yu took Zi Yan away from the inner courtyard, Xiao Yan, Elder Qianmu and four other Dou Zongs returned to the inner courtyard.

Yao Lao found a quiet place and refined some pills for the four people as a thank you, while Xiao Yan returned to the small attic where they lived. He hadn't seen Yanran for a long time and missed her very much.

There is nothing else for him to do now. All he has to do next is wait for the teacher to finish refining the elixir and then he can go find Lu Yu to refine the puppet.

However, as soon as he entered the attic, he ran into Nalan Yanran, who had a look of joy on her face.

"That's great, Xiao Yan, you're finally back!" Nalan Yanran couldn't help but exclaimed in joy upon seeing this.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan's heart sank. Did something happen?

"Something happened in the Gama Empire!" As she said this, Nalan Yanran unfolded the letter from her teacher and showed it to him.

After reading the letter at a glance, Xiao Yan's face became more solemn. The Jia Ma Empire was at a disadvantage in the war and the situation might be dangerous.

If the Gama Empire is defeated...how can the eggs in the overturned nest remain intact?

Not only the Xiao family, but even the Nalan family may not be able to escape the disaster of war and the danger of genocide!

He didn't want this kind of situation to happen to his family and the Nalan family.

"Yanran, what do you think?" Xiao Yan murmured for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan knew very well that crisis was opportunity. In this war, their Xiao family had a chance to rise, especially for him, a fifth-grade alchemist who was already at the Dou Wang level.

Taking this opportunity, he will definitely be able to lead the Xiao family to restore the glory it had when his grandfather Xiao Lin was alive, or even to go to a higher level.

"I want to go back. I can't stay in the academy and enjoy the protection while the sect is fighting!" Nalan Yanran said in a deep voice. She is the young master of the Yunlan Sect and she shouldn't hide when the sect is in crisis!

"Haha...it should be so." Xiao Yan laughed. He had to rush back before Lu Yu. Otherwise, once Lu Yu went back, there would be nothing for him to do. Without merit and achievements, it would be impossible for the Xiao family to rise.

Moreover... he has the fighting power of a Dou Zong in his hands, which is enough to turn the war around and make the Xiao family a big family in the Jia Ma Empire!

"I think the same as you. As long as the teacher finishes refining the elixir, we will return to the Jia Ma Empire." Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's brows immediately lit up with joy. As expected, he is worthy of being the man I chose, and we have the same thoughts!

"Yanran, you continue to practice during this period. I have something to do and I will go find Lu Yu." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Why are you looking for him?" Nalan Yanran asked puzzledly.

"Keep it secret!" Xiao Yan smiled mysteriously.

As he spoke, Xiao Yan's figure flashed, and purple-brown flaming wings appeared behind him. He flew to the east side of the inner courtyard to find Lu Yu to refine the puppet!

Didn't expect it? You helped me to gain the Dou Zong combat power!

When I return with the Dou Zong Puppet King, it will surely shock the entire battlefield and will surely shock the four countries and five directions!

It will definitely change the situation on the entire battlefield!

……

Jia Ma Empire, Black Mountain Fortress.

This is the most important fortress at the border between the Jia Ma Empire and the Izumo Empire, Luo Yan Empire and Mulan Empire. It has been indestructible after years of operation.

And because it is not far from the Izumo Empire and the Tagor Desert of the Snake People, it became the headquarters of the tripartite coalition of the Poison Sect, the Snake People, and the Gama Empire.

In a brightly lit room, several people were sitting in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

On the main seat, the only Dou Zong Yunshan looked a little pale and his breath was a little unstable.

Seeing this, Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Association, frowned, took out an emerald green pill and asked Yunshan to take it. Only then did Yunshan's breathing become a little calmer.

"Teacher..." Yun Yun frowned slightly and couldn't help but said with some worry.

"It's nothing, just some minor injuries!" Yunshan said calmly. He had made considerable progress from the fierce fighting during this period. He was promoted one star level compared to before and reached the level of a two-star Dou Zong.

In other words, he was besieged by two Dou Zongs together, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win or lose between him and Yan Luotian.

"Master Yunshan, our clan has been fighting fiercely in the new land, and we have consumed a lot of elixirs..." an old snakeman in a gray robe said in a hoarse voice.

"How much does Elder Yinshi need?" Yunshan asked in a deep voice. The alchemists in their Yunlan Sect's Medicine Hall were already working hard to refine pills. The alchemists in the Alchemist Association also stopped working but the situation was critical and pills were needed everywhere.

To be honest, he had never imagined that the war would reach its current situation. He had expected the Luoyan Empire, the remnants of the Mulan Empire and the royal family of the Izumo Empire, but... the Wanxie Sect should not have been so ruthless!

The Wanxie Sect doesn't need such a large territory at all, because the Gama Empire and the Mulan Empire don't produce poisons at all, and there is no benefit for them to conquer it with great effort.

They even have to work hard to cultivate and transform these places into places they like and grow poisonous flowers and insects.

In Yunshan's expectation, the Wanxie Sect should take advantage of the weakening of the Izumo Empire to raise the banner of rebellion and change the dynasty.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. The former Gama Empire and the current Gama Royal Family came into being in this way, so Jia Xingtian has always been wary of powerful families.

Even if you don't raise the banner of rebellion, you should still behave yourself as before.

However, no one expected that the Wanxie Sect would spare no effort in dealing with the Gama Empire. Even the old monster Xie Bi Yan showed up. It was really beyond expectations.

"At least one hundred bottles of third-grade healing medicine and recovery pills!" said the elder of the snake people known as Yinshi.

Fa Ma frowned and said with a wry smile: "Elder Yinshi, there are not so many third-grade pills left..."

“What…” Elder Yinshi’s face suddenly turned ugly.

"How about this? Seventy bottles of third-grade healing medicine and recovery pills, and the rest will be replaced with second-grade ones." Yun Yun said at this time: "It is not easy to refine third-grade pills. The alchemists have worked hard for a long time, and we don't have that much in stock."

"We have enough first-grade pills. Please tell me how many you need."

The Yinshi elder's expression changed, and he immediately gave a bitter smile and nodded in response: "Okay..."

"Then...what about the medicinal herbs of the snake people?" Fa Ma asked. They were responsible for refining the medicine, so the required herbs would naturally be provided by someone. In addition to the department that originally collected the herbs themselves, the herbs collected by the snake people would naturally also be given to them. After all, the snake people did not have alchemists.

"Here!" Elder Yinshi took out a storage ring and flew towards Fa Ma.

In the corner, an old woman watched all this quietly without saying a word. Her fingers placed on the armrest emitted a faint purple light and a slight fishy smell, indicating that this person was very powerful.

She was a strong person sent by the Poison Sect to be in charge of liaison. However, compared to these people, the Poison Sect's situation was slightly better.

Scorpion Mountains!

In a secret room, jars and medicine bottles were placed in a disorderly manner. An old man kept applying medicine on himself with a gloomy face.

“Hehehehe…Xie Bi Yan, you look really embarrassed like this…” An eerie laugh slowly sounded in the darkness.

"Iron Protector, you really know how to make sarcastic remarks!" the old man snorted unhappily.

"Don't worry, I will take action in a few days to ensure that your Wanxie Sect will achieve an undefeated foundation for all eternity. No one can stop us!" said the Iron Protector.

"That's good!" Xie Bi Yan nodded slightly.

“Hehehe…” In the darkness, a hint of pride flashed in the Iron Protector’s scarlet eyes. Who was responsible for the situation developing to this point?

Of course it’s all thanks to his iron guard!

Now not only has this year's task of collecting souls been completed, but next year's task has also been settled!

……

In a valley to the east of the inner courtyard, there were many broken corpses of wild beasts scattered around, but the fishy smell did not spread into the valley, but was blocked by the rich medicinal fragrance in the valley.

These magical beasts were attracted by the medicinal fragrance in the valley.

Boom!

Another beam of light shot up into the sky. Lu Yu's face was as gloomy as water. He tapped his fingers rapidly, controlling the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire to burn the elixir in the cauldron.

He no longer knew how many times he had refined a sixth-grade elixir.

During this period of time, he refined fourth-grade, fifth-grade, and sixth-grade pills, one furnace after another. During this period, except for helping Xiao Yan refine an earth demon puppet, he was immersed in refining pills.

He was preparing pills to restore fighting spirit and pills to treat injuries. These things were essential on the battlefield and could not be taken lightly.

There was a flash of colorful light in the sky, and Medusa floated in the air. Looking at Lu Yu who was about to collect the pill, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.

Lu Yu has been refining the elixir for more than ten days. The intensity of this elixir refining is almost as good as the Tianyun Pill he refined before.

As if he had sensed something, Lu Yu, who had put away the pill, raised his head and met Medusa's charming gaze.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yu asked in confusion. He was a little tired, but not too tired. He could still continue.

"Zi Yan seems to be coming out of seclusion. Do you want to come and see her?" Medusa said softly.

"Hmm?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Let's go and take a look!"

Chapter 209 Medusa: It’s okay, small ones are also cute~

Canaan College, in the forest outside the inner courtyard.

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran looked around and felt inexplicably emotional.

A year ago, they, Lu Yu, Wu Hao and Hu Jia participated in the fire hunting competition here and entered the inner courtyard from here.

Although the process was not pleasant, he was first beaten up by Lu Yu, and then dragged by him to fight the Black and White Devils in a duel. He completed the Fire Hunting Competition in a hurry within one day.

According to his idea, he should beat up all the old students and snatch their enthusiasm to fatten himself up.

But Lu Yu refused. He was not very interested in fire energy. Instead, he seemed to be in a hurry and forced them to fight the Black and White Team.

If he couldn't beat that guy... ahem, if the Blue Fire Crystal Card that guy Lu Yu mentioned wasn't so tempting, he wouldn't have agreed so easily!

Xiao Yan thought back to what happened in this forest a year ago and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

However, he lived a fulfilling year. A year ago, he was just a great fighting master, but a year later, he had become a fighting king. In the Jia Ma Empire, he was also a powerful man who could hold a high position in the government and rule a region.

Not to mention that he also has fifth-grade alchemy skills!

As long as there is no Lu Yu, the world is beautiful for him!
