Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 110 Negotiation

An oasis outside Stone Desert City has been a source of water for many magical beasts in the desert for many years, and a transit point for mercenaries to rest temporarily.

Today, the atmosphere here is rather solemn, because the figures moving around are all exuding a powerful aura.

With the support of powerful battle qi, a temporary city was completed in a short time. That's right, these powerful individuals, who were at least Battle Masters, were actually just low-level staff.

"howl"

After the city was completed, the leading figure suddenly fired a signal flare into the sky. Soon after, a row of tall griffins slowly flew in from the distant sky.

The leader was Lin Feng, the head of several major forces in the capital, while no one from the Yunlan Sect came. This was a tacit understanding between the Yunlan Sect and the royal family.

After the people from the Gama Empire landed, more than a dozen figures flew over from not far away. The woman in the lead was different from the others; she stood in mid-air.

Upon seeing this scene, Jia Xingtian and the others' eyes narrowed sharply. Although they had already received the news from the letter and were mentally prepared, seeing it with their own eyes still made Jia Xingtian's expression turn ugly.

"Her Majesty's breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm is truly a cause for celebration!"

After the snake-people landed, Jia Xingtian changed his expression and congratulated them with a warm smile.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

One doesn't hit a smiling face. Even with an absolute advantage at this moment, Queen Medusa did not act so coldly since she had decided not to use force.

Seeing that Queen Medusa was indeed as the envelope said, intending to obtain a place to live through negotiation, Jia Xingtian and the others all showed joy.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans regarding the matter you mentioned in your scroll, finding a place for the snake-people to live?"

After chatting for a while, seeing Queen Medusa's impatient expression, Jia Xingtian straightened his face and got down to business.

"I don't need the Gama Empire to make any major concessions, just give up the territory adjacent to the Monster Mountain Range."

Queen Medusa casually waved her hand, and a wisp of battle aura appeared before everyone, displaying a map of the Gama Empire's landscape, circling the plots of land she was referring to with a special color.

"This," Jia Xingtian hesitated as he looked at the region Queen Medusa pointed to. This region occupied almost a third of the Gama Empire's territory, and the precious resources in the Monster Mountain Range were a major source of the empire's economy.

"After the Serpent People occupy this place, they will not prevent the people of the Gama Empire from entering; in fact, the two sides can even form an alliance. However," Queen Medusa paused, her expression turning somewhat sinister.

"All captured snake women must be released, and the Gama Empire must enact a law prohibiting the hunting of snake women; otherwise, the Empire and the snake people will join forces to attack them."

Seeing the grim expressions on the faces of Jia Xingtian and the others from the Jia Ma Empire, the Snake-People were somewhat excited. This was the powerful aura brought by a Dou Zong expert.

"Of course, if the Gama Empire signs an alliance with the Snake People, the Snake People will naturally not invade you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian and the others' expressions softened. If both sides refrained from aggression, it would indeed be the proper course of action.

"Since Your Majesty has put it this way, I am not one to be ignorant of fate. Of course, I still need to arrange for the evacuation of the residents of this region. Please grant me half a month, Your Majesty."

Queen Medusa naturally granted Xing Tian's request. The snake people would need some time to prepare for their migration, and this two-week period was just right.

With the two leaders reaching an agreement, the Gama Empire couldn't see anything amiss, but the Snake-People were overjoyed, their faces filled with excitement and their eyes sparkling.

After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the Serpent People finally found a territory suitable for their survival.

"Your Majesty, I have a question, and I wonder if Your Majesty could enlighten me?"

After the snake-people's cheers subsided, Jia Xingtian hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Just say it." Despite being very excited inside, Queen Medusa's tone remained as calm as ever.

"In my memory, Her Majesty the Queen should be like me, stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang realm for many years. Why would Her Majesty—" After a moment's hesitation, seeing that Queen Medusa's expression remained unchanged, Jia Xingtian gritted his teeth and voiced his doubts. "Why did Her Majesty the Queen suddenly advance in rank?"

Upon hearing this, before Queen Medusa could say anything, Mu Chen, Nalan Jie, and the others present changed their expressions. The Serpent Clan would certainly not reveal such a confidential matter as the opportunity to advance to the Dou Zong realm, and Jia Xingtian's words would undoubtedly strain the recently eased relationship between the two sides once again.

Jia Xingtian, who had blurted out the question, broke out in a cold sweat. If Queen Medusa, who had already broken through to the Dou Zong level, got angry, she could even annihilate them all. So he quickly spoke, trying to salvage the situation.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"There's no need for that!" However, Queen Medusa's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Regarding the opportunity that allowed me to break through to the Dou Zong realm, there's nothing to hide. To be honest, it was all thanks to the Jia Ma Empire. Otherwise, given my personality, I certainly wouldn't have negotiated with you."

Upon hearing Queen Medusa's meaning, Jia Xingtian and the others first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt somewhat puzzled. "The blessing of the Togamar Empire, what does that mean?"

"I was able to advance to the Dou Zong realm because I took the Breakthrough Pill! And you are probably aware of the situation of the Snake-People race as well."

Queen Medusa parted her red lips slightly, captivating all who saw her, yet everyone present focused their attention on a single word.

"Breakthrough Pill!!!"

"What does Her Majesty mean?" Jia Xingtian and the others exchanged glances. There wasn't a single person in the Jia Ma Empire capable of refining the Breakthrough Pill. Even the highest-ranking Gu He and Fa Ma were only sixth-grade low-level alchemists.

Indeed, after receiving the opportunity bestowed by Lin Feng, Fa Ma, after a long period of research, finally achieved his long-cherished wish and advanced to the sixth rank.

Wait, there's one more person. A young figure flashed through Jia Xingtian and the others' minds. When he left, his alchemy skills were already on par with Fa Ma's, and a year is enough time for a genius to undergo tremendous changes.

"That's right, just as you thought." Queen Medusa nodded slightly. "It was Lin Feng, Master Lin Feng who refined the Breakthrough Pill for me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Medusa seemed to sense something, and slightly raised her head to look at the distant sky. Seeing Queen Medusa's action, Jia Xingtian and the others seemed to realize something, and also raised their heads.

In the distance, two figures, one large and one small, slowly flew towards them. One of the figures was the one they remembered.

"Master Lin Feng!"
