"Since the alliance leader has given the order, we, as hall masters, will naturally offer our full support~"
Xiao Yi Xian was the first to voice her support, then curiously asked, "A'Feng, which target are you planning to tackle first?"
"The Chu Yun Empire!"
Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed as he said, "Chu Yun Empire not only shares borders with the Jia Ma Empire and the Tagor Desert, but it also has numerous mountains, swamps, and is rich in various poisonous creatures.
After conquering Chu Yun Empire, Xian'er won't have to worry about lacking cultivation resources for a while, and it will also be easier for us to find powerful snake companions.
Queen, didn't you also want to relocate the Snake People out of the Tagor Desert?
Once we succeed, I can allocate a suitable territory within Chu Yun Empire for your people to settle."
Since the Medusa Queen had already become part of Xiao Feng's plans, in his eyes, the Snake People were naturally part of her dowry, making them his allies as well.
[You little rascal, at least you have some conscience!]
A hint of satisfaction flashed in the Medusa Queen's beautiful eyes, though she maintained a proud expression on the surface. "For the sake of my people's future, I can agree to cooperate with you this once."
"I have no objections either. If the young master says we attack Chu Yun Empire, then we attack Chu Yun Empire," Qing Lin said softly.
As soon as Qing Lin finished speaking, Zi Yan excitedly added, "Great! Another fight to look forward to!"
Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian and the others had agreed to the plan of attacking Chu Yun Empire, Xiao Feng turned to the Medusa Queen and asked, "Your Majesty, how long would it take for the Snake People's army to gather and reach the border of Chu Yun Empire?"
"Hmm..."
The Medusa Queen thought for a moment and replied, "At least a month."
"Good! Then we'll officially launch our attack on Chu Yun Empire in a month," Xiao Feng declared, slapping the table. "Xian'er, you and Zi Yan stay in the Black-Corner Region to gather forces. I'll accompany the Queen and Qing Lin back to the Snake People's territory, and then scout Chu Yun Empire.
Once the Snake People's army is fully assembled, I'll use the Dimensional Matrix to teleport you directly into Chu Yun Empire."
"Understood," Xiao Yi Xian nodded solemnly.
...
Tagor Desert
Outside Shimo City
"Whoosh!!!"
A massive purple Eight Trigrams Array suddenly appeared out of thin air, followed by three figures materializing.
During his previous visit to see Xiao Ding and the others, Xiao Feng had left a spatial mark outside Shimo City, allowing him to use the Dimensional Array to teleport directly here.
"Your Majesty, I need to scout Chu Yun Empire ahead of time, so I won't be accompanying you back to the Snake People's territory," Xiao Feng said to the Medusa Queen. Then, turning to Qing Lin, he instructed, "Qing Lin, once everything is ready on the Snake People's side, don't forget to notify me."
"Mm!"
Qing Lin nodded obediently. "Don't worry, young master, I won't forget."
"Then I'll take my leave now~"
With that, Xiao Feng transformed into a streak of golden light and shot into the sky, heading straight for Chu Yun Empire.
After watching the golden streak disappear into the horizon, Queen Medusa led Qing Lin toward the Snake People's royal city, summoning the leaders of various tribes along the way.
Meanwhile, far away in the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun was gently caressing her abdomen with a look of maternal affection.
As a Dou Emperor powerhouse, Yun Yun's soul power was at least comparable to that of a fifth-tier alchemist. With just a sweep of her soul power, she could sense the changes within her body.
Thus, several days ago, Yun Yun had already detected the presence of a new life growing inside her.
At first, when she discovered she was pregnant, Yun Yun felt more panic than anything else. She hadn't expected Xiao Feng to succeed in a single attempt.
Well, it wasn't exactly a single attempt. During their time in the Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Feng had fired more than just one shot—more like over twenty. So, it wasn't surprising that Yun Yun had been "hit."
After the initial shock, Yun Yun soon felt the joy of becoming a mother for the first time.
Although this was her first pregnancy, she wasn't entirely inexperienced in caring for children, as she had raised Nalan Yanran since she was young.
Moreover, during their intimate moments, Xiao Feng had repeatedly expressed his desire for her to bear him many children.
From Xiao Feng's attitude, it was clear that he liked children, so Yun Yun decided to keep the baby.
...
Several days later
Chu Yun Empire, Abyssal Chasm
No mistakes, no omissions, no content missing—check it out at 69shuba!
The Abyssal Chasm was one of the most dangerous forbidden lands in Chu Yun Empire. It was a bottomless abyss spanning tens of thousands of feet in width and stretching across several neighboring countries for tens of thousands of miles.
The area was perpetually shrouded in dark clouds, with no sunlight reaching the ground. The outer regions were teeming with poisonous creatures, while the depths of the chasm were ravaged by Yin Winds.
These Yin Winds were terrifyingly powerful, capable of even overwhelming Dou King experts. The deeper one ventured into the Abyssal Chasm, the stronger the Yin Winds became.
Even a peak Dou Emperor expert could only descend about a thousand feet before being overwhelmed by the Yin Winds' attacks.
"Whoosh—"
A dazzling golden light suddenly pierced through the clouds and landed on the edge of the Abyssal Chasm. The light gradually condensed into a human figure, revealing Xiao Feng dressed in a black martial outfit.
"So this is the Abyssal Chasm? The wind elemental energy here is incredibly dense!"
Feeling the lively and restless wind elemental energy in the air, Xiao Feng felt like a fish that had been out of water, finally returning to its natural habitat.
In two words: Refreshing!!!
Originally, Xiao Feng should have arrived at the Abyssal Chasm much earlier.
However, after entering Chu Yun Empire, several future visions had appeared in his mind.
In order to search for the treasures depicted in those visions, Xiao Feng had taken the time to explore several cities along the way, which delayed him by a few days.
After staring into the pitch-black, bottomless Abyssal Chasm for a while, Xiao Feng didn't hesitate. He spread his Dou Qi wings and swiftly descended into the depths of the chasm.
With his cultivation having reached the eight-star Dou Emperor level, Xiao Feng's physical strength had also significantly improved.
Thanks to the amplification of the Azure Dragon Fruit, Xiao Feng's current physical strength was comparable to that of a seventh-tier magical beast, allowing him to withstand weaker Yin Winds.
"Pfft... pfft..."
It wasn't until Xiao Feng descended to a depth of about 1,200 feet that the Yin Winds, capable of instantly shredding a peak Dou Emperor expert, began to leave fine cuts on his body.
Realizing that the surrounding Yin Winds could now harm him, Xiao Feng quickly used the Stone-Stone Fruit ability to create a cultivation platform on the nearby cliff wall.
While constructing the platform, Xiao Feng also discovered a treasure he had nearly overlooked—the unremarkable black stones embedded in the cliff wall.
