While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 95 Farewell to Queen Medusa

Having obtained what he wanted, Chen Xiao no longer paid attention to the subsequent auctions.

As evening fell, the auction ended, and Ya Fei delivered the proceeds. After deducting the portion from the Mittel Auction House, there were still over 1.5 million gold coins left.

"This is much more expensive than the loot we sold in Black Corner."

Zi Yan was a little surprised.

After all, the number and quality of the strong in the Gama Empire are clearly inferior to those in the Black Corner Region.

While in the Black Corner Region, she sensed extremely dangerous powerful individuals in several major cities, some of whom were even comparable to Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court.

In the Gama Empire, she only sensed a fairly strong aura when passing through the Tagor Desert, but it was still far inferior to Su Qian's.

"Handling it through an auction will definitely fetch a higher price than selling it directly. Moreover, precisely because the Gama Empire is not as powerful as the Black Corner Region, and Wutan City is even smaller with fewer good items, the competition will be even fiercer once it appears. If it were held in the capital, it would be at most worth around 1.3 million at auction," Hai Bodong explained to Zi Yan with a smile.

Chen Xiao then took out a bunch of things and handed them to Ya Fei, including two high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, which were among the more precious spoils obtained from the Black Corner Region.

"You can choose a few items below the mid-level of the Profound Rank to keep and auction them off from time to time. Give the rest to that Battle Spirit to take back to the capital for auction, and then give me the proceeds."

This is a win-win situation; both Chen Xiao and the Mittel family will benefit.

Ya Fei nodded in agreement, gathered the things on the table, and left first.

"You've finished your business in Wutan City, right? What are your plans for the future? How about taking a trip to the capital?" Hai Bodong suggested.

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly. "There's nothing in the capital that appeals to me. I'll go outside the city to pay my respects tomorrow, and then... Elder Hai, would you dare to come with me to the Tagor Desert?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? That woman already said that all grudges are wiped clean, so why should I fear her anymore?"

Hai Bodong raised his voice slightly, but his gaze was somewhat evasive.

Chen Xiao and Zi Yan remained silent, not revealing anything.

...

The next day, noon.

The three of them officially set off from outside the city, heading straight for Tagor.

After crossing the Monster Mountain Range, Hai Bodong slowed down slightly.

"Are we really going to Tagor?"

"That's right. I came back this time mainly for three things: first, to fight the Spirit Pill; second, the method of the Poison Pill; and third, to deal with the Strange Flame, which is also for Queen Medusa. Don't worry, Elder Hai. Last time we went to contact Queen Medusa with a purpose, and she didn't make a move. She certainly won't this time. Moreover, the combination of the three of us is no weaker than those from before!"

Amidst the howling wind, Chen Xiao's reply came.

The strongest person I encountered when I entered Tagor last time was Sect Master Yun; the others were all Battle Kings.

This time, Hai Bodong's strength surpasses Yun Yun's, and Chen Xiao and Zi Yan are not ordinary Dou Wang either.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not worried."

With a hum of agreement, Hai Bodong flapped his wings, his speed suddenly increasing, demonstrating his fearlessness through his actions.

Chen Xiao and Zi Yan both chuckled and quickened their pace to catch up.

in the afternoon.

Tagor's Edge.

Hai Bodong, who was in charge, landed first on a high hill.

"Old Hai, you're not feeling guilty, are you?"

Hai Bodong, enraged and embarrassed, glared at Zi Yan and gazed at Mo City.

"Just arriving at the edge of the desert, I couldn't help but think of those years in Mocheng."

Zi Yan smiled, her face full of disbelief.

Chen Xiao didn't even land; he simply lowered his flight altitude.

"Old Hai, wait for us here. Ziyan and I will be back soon."

Zi Yan nodded and soared into the sky to chase after Chen Xiao.

After a moment's hesitation, Hai Bodong gritted his teeth and chased after them.

Upon re-entering Tagor, Chen Xiao and Zi Yan could clearly sense that the Snake-People's vigilance was significantly more stringent than when they first returned to the Jia Ma Empire. Even the Mei Snake Tribe, which they passed through along the way, had sent out waves of Snake-People to patrol back and forth. Without the strength of a Dou Wang or above, it was virtually impossible to bypass their reconnaissance.

Of course, this had little effect on Chen Xiao and his two companions.

At dusk, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, the city in the heart of the desert came into view once again.

Above the holy city of the Serpent People.

Hua She'er watched as three figures approached from afar, until they stopped in mid-air when they were dozens of feet away from the Holy City.

This scene reminded her of a day a few years ago.

This moment feels just like that moment back then.

"Human strongmen, halt here!"

"Commander Flower Snake, how have you been?" Chen Xiaoyao greeted him with a fist and palm salute.

Upon hearing Chen Xiao call out her name, Hua She'er was astonished to realize that this familiar-looking young man was indeed the same person from a few years ago.

I still remember when Chen Xiao came with several powerful figures and had a conversation with Her Majesty the Queen, they finally reached a cooperation agreement. The Snake People's preparations in recent years all stemmed from that cooperation.

Now that Her Majesty the Queen has made up her mind and is ready to begin the evolution, why is he here again?

And this level of strength...

"So it's you. May I ask what brings you to the Holy City?"

Flower Snake returned the greeting with clasped hands, and her words were quite polite.

It wasn't just because of the strength Chen Xiao was displaying at this moment, but also because she had been present when Chen Xiao was discussing things with Queen Medusa, and was equally aware of Chen Xiao's background.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Let me introduce you first. This is the Supreme Elder of the Mittel family, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. Commander Hua She'er should be familiar with him. This is Zi Yan, a junior of the Grand Elder of Canaan Academy. She has come here this time, just like a few years ago, to meet your Queen."

On the surface, it was an introduction to the Flower Snake, but in reality, it was a conversation with Queen Medusa in the temple.

They've all arrived; Queen Medusa couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

As expected, just as Chen Xiao finished speaking and Hua She'er was about to turn around to ask for instructions, she heard a soft and alluring voice coming from the temple behind her.

"Flower Snake, please invite them in."

"Yes."

Hua She'er bowed slightly in agreement before turning to look at Chen Xiao and the others.

"The three of you, please."

This time, she did not mention walking into the city again.

Without hesitation, Chen Xiao flew and landed on the Holy City.

The fearless Zi Yan was even more undaunted, landing beside Hua She'er with a curious gaze.

Hai Bodong landed last, without saying a word, his serious expression making Zi Yan feel like he was a stranger to him.

"Please follow me." Flower Snake stepped forward to lead the way.

Before long, Chen Xiao stepped into that spacious and luxurious hall again.

On that throne, Queen Medusa leaned back languidly, just as she had years before, seemingly unchanged in the slightest. Even her posture and the brocade robe she wore were almost identical.
