Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 129 Rainbow Scales' Request

At the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in the Izumo Empire, the once proud and arrogant disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were now somewhat panicked, lined up neatly in front of the square, awaiting the judgment of those adults.

"Senior Brother, all the elders, the sect leader, and the others are dead. Are we going to die next?!"

"Shut up, all of you, be quiet. This group might just be after our sect's treasures. As long as we leave quickly after they're gone, and never refer to ourselves as disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect again, we should be able to escape this calamity."

"."

While the disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect waited anxiously, Lin Feng and his companions excitedly rummaged through the sect's treasure vault.

"As expected of a powerful sect with a Dou Zong level, even the royal family of the Izumo Empire is probably not as wealthy as the Wanxie Sect." Lin Feng remarked as he stored the medicinal herbs that were useful to him into his storage ring.

Meanwhile, Cai Lin and the others were also busy collecting spiritual items that were useful to them. Among them, Cai Lin collected the most miscellaneous items, presumably to give back to the Snake-People clan, since the Snake-People clan had recently moved and needed many.

Little Fairy Doctor's main attributes are poison, which perfectly complements her own. Her numerous poison-based techniques further enhance her agility. It can be said that Little Fairy Doctor is the one who has benefited the most from this trip. Meanwhile, Zi Yan is collecting some powerful spiritual herbs, preparing to have Lin Feng refine pills for her later.

After a period of looting, Lin Feng and his group finally took all the treasures of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

"Listen up, you disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect! From this day forward, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect will cease to exist in the Chuyun Empire, and you are forbidden from identifying yourselves as disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Otherwise, you will be opposing me, and yourselves will be as solid as this stone!"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, his powerful Dou Huang aura soared into the sky, suppressing all the Wanxie Sect disciples on the square. Then, he smashed the boulder with the three characters "Wanxie Sect" engraved on it with a single palm strike.

"Yes, we obey your orders, sir. From now on, there will be no more Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!"

The disciples, who had been feeling uneasy, could no longer contain their joy upon hearing Lin Feng's words and echoed his sentiments.

Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. After summoning the Dancer with his flute, the group took to the air and departed.

"Husband, why don't you kill all these disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!"

On the back of the enormous griffin, Cai Lin, who had remained silent until now, asked in confusion. Hearing this, Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor also became somewhat interested.

"It's nothing else. There's absolutely no hatred in the eyes of these Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect disciples. Moreover, all their experts above the Dou Wang level were killed by us this time. Given the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's past practices, these people would be lucky to even survive under the control of other forces in the Chuyun Empire, let alone seek revenge against us!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the girls didn't ask any more questions. Even the weakest of them, Little Fairy Doctor, could easily sweep away the remaining disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, so there was no need to worry about their retaliation.

On their return journey, having already completed the collection of poisons, the group wasn't in a rush. They stopped occasionally in small towns to observe the different customs and cultures. Sometimes, when Zi Yan sensed unusual spiritual herbs, the group would stop to search for them.

After traveling and stopping for about ten days, Lin Feng and his companions returned to the land of the snake people.

Meanwhile, in a small city within the Gama Empire, a master and apprentice were undergoing extraordinary training.

"Crackling and popping."

On the back mountain of the Xiao family in Wutan City, the sound of whips lashing echoed, and with each lash, a muffled groan could be heard from a young boy.

"call"

After an unknown amount of time, the boy, whose back was covered in wounds, slowly sank into a large wooden basin filled with medicinal liquid, gently exhaling a breath of stale air to relieve the pain of the day.

"Master, do you think I have any hope of reaching the level of Lin Feng, the genius alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire?"

While absorbing the medicinal liquid, Xiao Yan finally couldn't suppress his inner doubts and asked the floating soul beside him.

"Haha, Little Yanzi, with the guidance of a powerful alchemist like myself, you will surely surpass him in the future if you study patiently. However, this requires you to study even harder. For now, concentrate on absorbing the medicinal liquid! If this hidden injury is not treated properly, it will affect your future promotion!"

Upon hearing his apprentice's question, the experienced and shrewd Yao Chen naturally wouldn't discourage him; instead, he offered encouragement.

"However, Lin Feng is truly remarkable, having reached such a level at such a young age. Moreover, once he arrives in Zhongzhou and receives instruction from that old ghost Qinghua, it won't be easy for Xiao Yanzi to catch up."

Yao Chen thought of how Lin Feng, in such a remote place in the Northwest, could achieve such success before the age of twenty, and couldn't help but sigh, realizing that he himself was no better back then!

Lin Feng, who was far away in the Snake-Man City at the foot of Monster Mountain, was unaware of this conversation between the master and disciple. They had already been back for several days when Cai Lin approached Lin Feng and made a request that left him in a difficult position and even somewhat angry.

"Husband, please help me temper my body with the strange fire!"

On that cozy bed, Cai Lin leaned against Lin Feng's chest, but the words she spoke frightened him.

"Cai Lin, don't you know the power of the Strange Fire? You've already advanced to the Dou Zong realm, and the Snake-People clan already has an elder who has successfully advanced to the Dou Zong realm. Why do you need to take any more risks?"

"My husband, listen to me. Both you and Ziyan have advanced to the Douhuang realm at such a young age. Perhaps, in a few years, you will surpass me."

Cai Lin gently covered Lin Feng's lips, her eyes filled with affection and a hint of determination.

"Every snake-man in the snake-man race is born with the help of their elders and has the soul of a snake-demon beast integrated into their body. The snake-attribute beast soul that I integrated into my body was one whose bloodline could advance to the sixth rank."

Cai Lin recalled those hazy memories and spoke softly.

"With the help of this sixth-tier beast soul, I quickly advanced to the peak of Dou Huang, but then stagnated for many years. If it weren't for my husband's Breakthrough Pill, I don't know when I would have been able to advance to the Dou Zong realm in this lifetime. Perhaps, like many Medusas of the past, I would have stopped here!"

Cai Lin gave a bitter laugh, seemingly lamenting the harsh fate of the snake people, before a determined look appeared on his face.

"My husband and those around him are all exceptionally talented. Even my sister Xian'er, with the help of the poisonous fire, will likely advance rapidly. As for me, I clearly feel that after advancing to the Dou Zong level, this bloodline has firmly locked away my potential, and I may only be able to circulate within the Dou Zong level for the rest of my life."

Cai Lin looked at Lin Feng, her gaze revealing a hint of pleading.

"My husband, I don't want to be left behind. Let me use the strange fire to temper my body! I want to stay by your side forever!"
