Chapter 96: Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong!

Mortal Realm Great Perfection, this realm is equivalent to the soul of a peak Seventh Grade Alchemist.

The range of Soul Perception can easily cover hundreds of kilometers.

"With the explosive power of Soul Technique, it's enough to threaten Dou Ancestor-level experts!"

A glint of determination flashed in Yun Tianming's eyes, giving him ample confidence as he headed towards Tager Desert.

Dark Feather Wings spread out and soared into the sky. After breaking through to Dou Grandmaster, Yun Tianming's Dou Qi quantity increased several times, and the endurance time of using the Flying Dou Technique also extended several times!

"No wonder real strong individuals are unwilling to ride Flying Magic Beasts. Those bulky fellows are just too slow."

Yun Tianming flew at full speed in the air. About an hour later, a golden desert appeared on the distant horizon. At the edge of the desert stood a city made of yellow earth. That should be the destination, Mo City.

A few hundred meters away from Mo City, Yun Tianming gradually slowed down his flight speed. To avoid attracting attention, he retracted his Dark Feather Wings and used Bursting Void Steps to land smoothly on the ground.

Due to the proximity to the desert, the weather here was extremely dry and hot. The sky was clear without a cloud in sight, and the scorching sun poured its venomous rays onto the earth, heating up the yellow sandy ground and making passing pedestrians sweat profusely and lament continuously. However, Yun Tianming didn't feel the slightest discomfort because his Extreme Purple Beast Flame, originating from the Seventh Rank Magic Beast Extreme Purple Lion Emperor, had the ability to absorb sunlight to enhance Dou Qi.

As he journeyed, compared to the dusty and sweaty passersbies, Yun Tianming's calm and sweat-free demeanor truly impressed onlookers. Some scantily dressed and wild-spirited female mercenaries secretly cast flirtatious glances at him, while bolder ones approached him for conversation, inviting him into the city for a drink.

Yun Tianming remained unmoved by these advances, calmly rejecting them. It wasn't that he was a saintly man immune to temptation; rather, he was simply accustomed to high-quality human females and had no interest in the mediocre and mundane women on the streets.

Upon entering the city, Yun Tianming had no interest in strolling around to experience the local customs. Instead, he immediately released his Soul Perception, covering the entire Mo City!

Dou Practitioners, Dou Masters, Dou Grandmasters, and a few Dou Spirits.

"Found it!"

Yun Tianming's eyes brightened as his Soul Power locked onto a Dou Spirit. More precisely, this person's true level was that of a Dou Emperor, but they were mostly constrained by a powerful seal, suppressing most of their Dou Qi.

Tager Desert, the sealed Dou Emperor powerhouse, almost certainly.

Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong!

Yun Tianming's target is the residual map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame on the man's body, and incidentally, to subdue the latter as a henchman.

After confirming Hai Bo Dong's location, Yun Tianming crossed through the bustling city center and arrived at a secluded alley in the southern part of the city, where he saw a map shop named "Ancient Maps." From the outside, the shop looked dilapidated, lacking any desire to enter.

Yun Tianming entered the shop, and what met his eyes was an old man behind the counter, diligently sketching maps with his head bowed. Without disturbing the old man, Yun Tianming's gaze swept over the bound maps on the counter, finally locking onto a small, inconspicuous, palm-sized fragmentary picture.

The lines drawn on the fragmentary picture seemed chaotic at first glance, but they could be pieced together perfectly with the residual image of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame obtained from the cave in the Magic Beast Mountains.

"Young man, are you here to buy a map of the Tager Desert? Wait a minute?!"

"What are you trying to do?"

"How dare you!"

Before Hai Bo Dong could finish speaking, Yun Tianming rudely took the residual image of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and stored it in his Spatial Ring without hesitation.

Crack!

Hai Bo Dong was furious, and a chilling Dou Qi erupted from him, freezing the counter in front of him into a mass of ice shards that exploded. He glared fiercely at Yun Tianming.

However, Yun Tianming remained unfazed, just smiling and asking, "Old man, you should still have the other half of the map, right? Sell it to me. I assure you, my reward will not disappoint you."

'Well, well! He not only took my residual image without asking but also dares to demand the other half?'

"Young man, you'd better not be too arrogant, relying on a bit of talent and acting recklessly. Be careful not to provoke people you shouldn't provoke!"

Hai Bo Dong narrowed his eyes, surprised to find that he couldn't discern the strength of the young man in front of him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the other party looked like he was just over sixteen years old. How high could his strength be?

"Provoking people I shouldn't provoke?"

"Indeed. Faced with a former Dou Emperor powerhouse, it's disrespectful for a junior like me."

Yun Tianming solemnly bowed to the other party to show respect.

Hai Bo Dong's pupils contracted sharply when he heard the phrase "former Dou Emperor powerhouse," and he instantly condensed frosty arrows, shooting towards the young man in front of him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The frosty arrows hit the dark green Dou Qi armor, causing zero damage.

"Dou Qi Armor? You're actually a Dou Grandmaster?!"

Hai Bo Dong widened his eyes.

Being a Dou Grandmaster itself wasn't much, but a Dou Grandmaster at such a young age was a rare existence in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

"Old Hai, I think we can have a talk," Yun Tianming spoke up again.

"What exactly are you?" Hai Bo Dong's foot slammed into the ground, thick frost quickly spreading throughout the entire shop, forming an ice wall at the entrance.

"I am a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Tianming."

"Met Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong"

Yun Tianming voluntarily disclosed his name and also revealed the other party's identity.

"So you're from the Misty Cloud Sect."

Hai Bo Dong frowned deeply. Although the Miteer Family and the Misty Cloud Sect were not exactly enemies, they didn't have any close ties either. Since the battle with Queen Medusa in the Tager Desert, Hai Bo Dong had been hiding for nearly a decade. Even the Miteer Family couldn't find him. How did a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect suddenly appear and find him out of nowhere?

Hai Bo Dong's face was full of vigilance. Now that his strength had greatly declined, he was afraid of someone kicking him when he was down.

"Are you a disciple of Yun Shan? No, that old guy should be in seclusion now."

"Or, are you a disciple of that Yun Yun?"

"Neither, but I have a close relationship with Yun Yun."

"Well, rounding up, you can consider me as Yun Yun's husband."

Yun Tianming said seriously.

"You brat, are you mocking me?"

Hai Bo Dong's mouth twitched. Although he had never seen Yun Yun, he had heard of her reputation. Yun Shan's proud disciple, who ten years ago was the youngest Dou King powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire. By now, she should have reached the level of Dou Emperor and even taken over the position of Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master.

The young greenhorn in front of him, who looked only sixteen, dared to boast that he was Yun Yun's husband?

"Haha, what an absurd lie! I can't believe you could come up with that!"

"You'd have more credibility pretending to be a son-in-law of the Miteer Family, specifically coming to find me. At least that has a bit of believability."

Hai Bo Dong mocked.
