Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 99 Ancient Shop

In the vast, boundless sky, a colossal figure could be seen soaring through the air. However, just as you tried to get a closer look, the figure vanished like a black lightning bolt, piercing the azure sky.

"Gentlemen, we're almost at our destination!"

If anyone were here, they would surely notice that there were many figures on the back of this powerful and proud griffin. Of course, if they could sense the aura emanating from these figures, they wouldn't be surprised that the griffin tolerated people standing on its back.

At this moment, the only young figure among the many white-bearded old men looked at the faintly visible golden light in the distance, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

After flying for some time, Lin Feng and his group stopped at a small border town and then walked into the city. Given their group's composition and Lin Feng's connections with many powerful forces in the capital, they didn't actually need to be so discreet. However, Lin Feng was not unaware of the principle that things should be accomplished in secrecy.

As the group walked through the city, neither Lin Feng nor the well-traveled white-bearded old men paid any attention to the unique desert scenery—the hot girls.

Before long, the group arrived at an antique shop. Standing in front of the shop, Lin Feng sighed slightly.

"Unexpectedly, the Ice Emperor and the Mittel family still chose to keep a low profile. If it weren't for the fact that he already knew about the Ice Emperor and the Mittel family hoped to use Lin Feng's powerful alchemy skills to break the Ice Emperor's seal, no one would have known that the famous one of the ten strongest people in the Gama Empire—the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong—was actually living a miserable life as an old man selling maps in this corner of the empire."

After a brief moment of reflection, Lin Feng and his group stepped inside and immediately saw a woman in red bustling about. An ordinary person would likely have assumed she was a well-behaved woman, but Hu Qian, who had an unusually bold granddaughter, perceived her as having a fiery and unruly nature.

"Sir, you have a big order coming your way!"

When the woman was about to step forward to ask, Lin Feng ignored her and walked straight to the old man who was pretending to be asleep, speaking in an inexplicable tone.

"Hmm!" Startled by Lin Feng's words, the old man, who was already somewhat impatient, was about to give him an impatient look when his pupils suddenly contracted. Sensing the fleeting aura that Lin Feng deliberately released, and looking at the group of white-haired old men not far away, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Sir, please take whatever you want. There's no need to worry about me."

Even the Ice Emperor, who regularly competes in top-tier matches, has to humble himself during periods of weakness. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Only after seeing Lin Feng actually start walking around the store did he breathe a slight sigh of relief, "Judging from his appearance, he shouldn't be here to cause trouble."

However, when Lin Feng walked up to a fragment of a map, Hai Bodong's aged face tightened involuntarily. As expected, Lin Feng then picked up the fragment.

"Sir, I'll take this incomplete map!"

Hai Bodong paused for a moment, then forced a smile. His aged face and stiff smile sent chills down Lin Feng's spine.

"There must be another half to this map, sir. Please bring it out as well!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Hai Bodong felt extremely aggrieved and stood there struggling. Back then, he was one of the top ten experts in the Jia Ma Empire, ranking at the top of the empire. Even Yun Shan had to treat him with respect. He had never felt so aggrieved before.

"Elder Hai, my name is Lin Feng!"

Just then, a voice transmission came from beside his ear, causing his expression to change drastically. He stared intently at the young man in front of him, and after seeing the young man nod slightly, his expression became somewhat excited.

He then took out a set of scrolls from his storage ring and tossed them to the red-clad woman who had been watching the scene closely, his indifferent voice ringing out.

"Take this technique and leave. I know exactly what your cunning father is up to. Don't come here again."

Ignoring her slightly red eyes and the way she was biting her lip, she pulled Lin Feng towards a courtyard inside.

"Master Lin Feng, I've been waiting for you to arrive."

After learning Lin Feng's identity, Hai Bodong deliberately ignored his previous rudeness. What a joke! If he could regain his strength and leave this godforsaken place, he'd be willing to come back ten more times.

"I understand Elder Hai's thoughts. As long as Elder Hai hands over the remaining fragments of the map, I'll do you a favor for you afterwards." Lin Feng waved his hand, seeing Hai Bodong's expectant expression. "I have made some achievements in the research of sealing techniques."

Seeing Lin Feng's heroic demeanor, Hai Bodong was greatly encouraged and his expression was also very excited.

"Since Master Lin Feng is so confident, it's fine to hand over this incomplete map to him now." He then handed over the half-piece of the map that he had hidden.

Looking at the ancient fragment in his hand that seemed about to shatter with a slight squeeze, he realized how easily he had obtained this top-tier treasure of the continent. Then, thinking about how Xiao Yan had worked himself to the bone and was being hunted down deep in the desert, he couldn't help but smile.

"Indeed, my character far surpasses Xiao Yan's!"

After storing the remaining map in his storage ring, Lin Feng turned to look at Hai Bodong and formally began to speak.

"Since Elder Hai is so agreeable, there's no time like the present. I wonder if Elder Hai has a secret chamber? Let's go and break this seal now, so that I can witness the power of the Empire's ten strongest warriors."

"Hahaha, Master Lin Feng is indeed as refreshing as Teng Shan said. The secret room is naturally there. Please follow me."

After turning several corners, the two arrived at a stone gate. Hai Bodong stepped forward and pressed a switch. The heavy stone gate immediately rose, and before Hai Bodong could introduce anything, a chilling aura instantly rushed towards them. Of course, in front of Lin Feng's physique, which was comparable to a mid-level fifth-tier magical beast, this chilling aura was merely like a cool breeze in summer, just right.

"As expected of the empire's top experts, what a grand gesture! To actually carve out such a huge ice chamber deep in this desert."

Facing this enormous ice chamber, spanning several hundred square meters, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. This old fellow, even after being suppressed to the Dou Ling level, was still able to carve out such a place in the desert; he certainly had some skill.

"Haha, Master Lin Feng, you flatter me. My humble skills are nothing compared to those of a genius like you."

Hai Bodong was clearly very pleased with the praise from such a prodigy as Lin Feng. Moreover, "That fleeting aura just now actually reached the peak of the Dou Wang realm. Not only in alchemy, but in Dou Qi cultivation, this guy is a monster!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down on the ice jade bed.

Under Lin Feng's instructions, Hai Bodong relaxed his mind so that Lin Feng could explore the seal within his body.

Lin Jiangjiang focused his mind into Hai Bodong's body, probing step by step along the withered body until he reached the dantian.

A chilling and malevolent aura suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's senses. Then, a small, colorful snake suddenly opened its eyes and hissed at Lin Feng.

"Found you!"
