Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 249 Snake Tribe Rebellion

After the first round of competition, Yafei immediately announced the start of the second round of competition, with the topic of refining the third-grade elixir Fengxing Dan.

And in order to maintain the [special treatment] for Xiao Yan and the three people standing on the high platform mentioned in the last round of competition, the other alchemists have a total of three medicinal materials, which means they have three opportunities, while Xiao Yan and the three people only have two. .

But in fact, there are only two chances for everyone to unify. That is to say, in order to prove that the three Xiao Yans on the high platform do have limitations, one more chance was given to the alchemists below the stage.

Of course, as for the extra medicinal materials, they were kindly sponsored by the Mittel family. Mittel Tengshan had no objection to this and immediately agreed.

Although they are known as the three major families in Gama Holy City along with the Nalan family and the Mu family, Mittel Tengshan knows very well that the Nalan family and the Mu family are families attached to the royal family. After all, they are not the Mittel who came out halfway. The family can compare.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close to the big tree of the royal family. Of course, Mittelengshan will not let it go. As long as it is within the acceptable range, Mittelengshan will do his best to meet all the requests made by the royal family. satisfy.

What's more, it's just the medicinal materials of Fengxing Dan. Giving so many more copies is just a drop in the bucket for the Miter family, and they can definitely afford it.

"The second round of competition officially begins!"

After Yafei's announcement, the second round of the Alchemist Conference began in full swing.

At this time, a soldier came to the auditorium of Nalan's house, knelt down on one knee and said solemnly to Nalan Jie.

"Marshal Nalan, Jia Lao, please come over."

"Huh?" Nalan Jie frowned slightly, then nodded and looked at Nalan Yanran, "Yanran, I'll leave for a while and take care of Xiao Yan's friends."

"Okay, don't worry, grandpa."

Nalan Yanran smiled and waved her hand, and then Nalan Jie followed the soldiers out of the auditorium. After several twists and turns, he arrived at the auditorium where Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong were.

"Jia Lao, why do you want to see me?"

Nalan Jie bowed respectfully to Jiaxingtian and asked. Jiaxingtian looked slightly sideways and said softly.

"Marshal Nalan, I would like to see the list of retired disciples of the Yunlan Sect under the name of the Nalan family. Please ask your butler to send it to you."

？ ！！

Nalan Jie was suddenly startled by Jia Xingtian's words. Jia Xingtian knew about his housekeeper's problem and even sent someone to keep an eye on it secretly. Why did Jia Xingtian suddenly make this request?
The thought in his mind just flashed through his mind, and Nalan Jie responded respectfully.

"As you command, I will send someone to call the housekeeper."

Since Jia Xingtian still made such a request even though he knew there was something wrong with the Nalan family's housekeeper, he must have a reason, and he just had to obey.

Immediately, Nalan Jie sent someone to summon the housekeeper. During this period, Nalan Jie and Jia Xingtian silently watched the game in the venue. Hai Bodong seemed to have no sense of existence at all. His small body was curled up on the sofa and shouting loudly. Sleeping, his cute appearance makes everyone who sees him feel overflowing with motherly love and pull him into his arms and caress him gently.

Of course, the premise is that Haibodong is an old man in his 70s and s.

Listening to the slight snoring coming from behind, Jia Xingtian and Nalan Jie couldn't help but turn around frequently, and Jia Xingtian's eyes showed deep speechlessness.

Even though this guy has the body shape of a toddler, why does he behave like a child?If you tell others, who will believe that this is the Ice Emperor?
As time passed slowly, with Yafei's announcement, the second round of competition also came to an end.

Of the 47 alchemists remaining in the first round, 36 were eliminated in the second round, leaving only 11 including the three Xiao Yans on the stage.

This is to highlight the special rules of Xiao Yan and the other three. Even though an extra set of ingredients was added to the alchemists in the audience, if the normal two sets of ingredients were used, half of the remaining 11 people would have to be cleared away.

After a short break, Yafei announced the start of the third round. At the same time, the steward who received the order also came to the audience stand where Jia Xingtian was and saluted Nalan Jie respectfully.

"master."

"Yes." Nalan Jie nodded lightly and said softly: "Bring out the lists I asked you to collect earlier and show them to Jia Lao."

"Yes."

The housekeeper responded softly, came to Jiaxingtian's side, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Jiaxingtian respectfully with his head lowered.

"Jia Lao, these are the list of all retired disciples of Yunlan Sect under the name of Nalan Family Estate, please take a look."

"Thanks a lot."

Jia Xingtian stretched out his hand to take the list and read it silently from top to bottom, his brows gradually furrowing.

Sure enough, as Nalan Jie said, there is something wrong with this housekeeper.

The list seemed to contain information on dozens of retired disciples of the Yunlan Sect, but there were almost no retired disciples who were actually involved in the crimes committed by the Yunlan Sect.

The few names that appeared were those who had already been confirmed guilty by the royal family, and the Yun Lanzong side had also known about the exposure. The names of these people were written out not only to confuse people, but also to represent Yun Lanzong. Lan Zong abandoned these people.

"Soldier." Jia Xingtian said quietly with a sideways glance, handing the list in his hand to the soldier who stepped forward, "According to the royal family's crime record against the Yunlan Sect, it corresponds one to one with the list above. Once the corresponding person is found, he will immediately send someone to monitor him, and if the other party notices something is wrong, he will be arrested immediately."

"As ordered!"

The soldier responded sternly, took the list and turned to leave. Jiaxingtian looked at the housekeeper with a little apology in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, old housekeeper, please try harder and check carefully to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net. If so, report the list to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Wei servant takes the order."

The housekeeper agreed and breathed a deep sigh of relief. He turned around and was about to leave when a soldier rushed in in a panic.

"Jia Lao! Jia Lao! Urgent report!!!"

"Um?!"

Jia Xingtian's brows suddenly became serious, and Nalan Jie was also shocked. The housekeeper who was about to leave also stopped silently and listened to the soldier's next report with his back turned.

"The soldiers stationed in the Tagore Desert desperately sent information that an unknown strong man suddenly appeared in the Snake Tribe and assisted the Snake Tribe in rebellion! Xiao Ling and Xiao Li, the leaders of the Motie Mercenary Group, have also been controlled! "

"What did you say?!!"

Nalan Jie's heart suddenly tightened. Wasn't the matter of the Snake Tribe settled? !Why did the rebellion suddenly break out again? ! !

Jia Xingtian's face was extremely dark at this time. After a long time, he slowly spoke and asked in a deep voice.

"Where are Princess Yaoye and General Muchen?"

Hearing Jiaxingtian's deep inquiry, the soldier who felt the tremendous pressure could not help but shed cold sweat on his forehead, but he still reported to Jiaxingtian truthfully.

"Princess Yaoye was kidnapped by the snake people, and General Mu Chen unfortunately died in battle! The unknown strongman led the snake people and took Princess Yaoye as a hostage. They passed through the garrison in each area of ​​the Jiama Empire unimpeded and headed towards the Holy Gama. Come to the city!"

The soldier's words caused the air pressure in the auditorium to suddenly drop to the ground. Jia Xingtian clenched his fists tightly, his shoulders were shaking slightly, and his eyes were flashing red!

Nalan Jie's head was in chaos at this time, and he didn't react for a long time.

His Royal Highness Yao Ye was kidnapped, General Mu Chen died in battle, and even the unknown strong man led the snake people towards the imperial capital? !
What exactly is going on? ! !

Nalan Jie's thoughts were in a mess now. He didn't understand why the snake people rebelled, and he didn't know who the unknown strong man was and why he did such a thing.

But there is one thing that Nalan Jie knows very well.

Now, there is no time for him to think carefully!
Nalan Jie immediately turned around, cupped his fists and shouted at Jia Xingtian.

"Jia Lao! I will lead the troops now to rescue His Highness Yao Ye and suppress the snake tribe's rebellion!!!"

However, Jia Xingtian did not respond immediately to Nalan Jie's request. After a long time, he spoke again and asked the soldier.

"With the speed at which the snake people are traveling, how long does it take to reach the Holy City of Jia Ma?" To this, the soldier responded immediately.

"It is estimated that it will be five days before we return to Jia Lao. We will arrive at the Holy City of Jia Ma on the morning of the fourth day!"

"Four days."

Jia Xingtian frowned tightly. After thinking for a long time, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"That's enough." Jia Xingtian looked at Nalan Jie and said solemnly: "Marshal Nalan, we will start making preparations tomorrow. At the same time, we will propose to the Yunlan Sect that Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan will have a three-year trial match. No later than the third The sky is about to begin!”

"This?!!"

Upon hearing Jia Xingtian's order, Nalan Jie's pupils suddenly tightened.

Jia Xingtian wanted to take advantage of the three-year agreement between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan to have a showdown with the Yunlan Sect. Nalan Jie knew about this and asked Xiao Yan to participate in the Alchemist Conference to win the [Name] for this purpose.

But now that the unknown strong man has led the snake people to march to the imperial capital, shouldn't they deal with the snake people's affairs first?And Princess Yaoye is still in their hands!
"Jia Lao! I think that now that the Snake Tribe is about to rebel, the Yun Lan Sect affairs should be postponed! And His Highness Yao Ye"

"We can't take care of Ye'er's affairs!" Jiaxingtian said with a dark face, sternly interrupting Jiaxingtian, "After the Mo family incident, the Yunlan Sect already knew that we planned to break up with them. If we are dealing with the Snake Tribe rebellion When Yunlan Sect cooperates from behind, that is the worst situation!"

"Therefore, we must take advantage of the opportunity to deal with the Yunlan Sect before the rebellion of the snake people comes!"

Jia Xingtian's words made Nalan Jie freeze on the spot, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke out.

"But His Highness Yao Ye."

"Ye'er is the next heir to the royal family. Standing in this position, she definitely has the consciousness of being abandoned." Jia Xingtian clenched his fists tightly, his face looked so painful, but he still gritted his teeth, "If Ye If my son and I are in the same position, she will definitely do the same."

"."

Nalan Jie finally had nothing to say.

Jiaxingtian turned to look at the soldier and gave a stern order.

"The rebellion of the snake people and the capture of Princess Yaoye must not be spread to outsiders! Violators will be punished!"

"Follow orders!!!"

After the soldier responded, Jia Xingtian suddenly looked at the butler who had not left. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his aura pressed against the butler, and his red pupils revealed an undisguised threat.

"Butler, I know that you have served the Nalan family for many years, and you also know what you should know."

Seeing Jiaxingtian's flashing red eyes, the butler's body trembled first, then his face calmed down, and he gently lowered his head to assure Jiaxingtian.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Jia, I didn't hear anything."

".Very good." Jia Xingtian nodded solemnly, then waved his hand lightly, "Let's all go down."

After receiving the order, the housekeeper and the soldiers were about to leave, but Jia Xingtian suddenly stopped the soldiers.

"Go and call Mu Zhan, the son of the Mu family."

"As ordered."

The soldier responded and left with the steward.

At this time, Mu Zhan was leading the soldiers to carry out the security work of the alchemist conference. From time to time, he cast his eyes on Ya Fei on the host stage. His eyes were full of desire, and he had even begun to have indescribable fantasies in his heart.

Just wait, Yafei, you will be my woman sooner or later!
Just when Mu Zhan saw a soldier coming, he spoke in his doubtful eyes.

"Jia Lao summoned me."

Add old age?
Mu Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Lao in the audience.

What is Jia Lao doing with me?
Although he was confused, Mu Zhan nodded and went to the auditorium of Jiaxingtian after giving instructions to the security personnel.

After a while, Mu Zhan came to Jia Xingtian's position and greeted him respectfully with fists in his hands.

"Older."

Looking at the respectful young man in front of him, Jiaxingtian looked hesitant and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Mu Zhan, starting from today, you will lead the soldiers of the Mu family. They will start preparing tomorrow and are ready to be dispatched at any time."

"This"

Jia Xingtian's words made Mu Zhan suddenly freeze on the spot.

Is this giving him the military power of the Mu family directly?My grandpa hasn’t come back yet!

Soon Mu Zhan came to his senses and quickly lowered his head to refuse.

Although he had always wanted to inherit Mu Chen's mantle and take over Mu Chen's position as general, Mu Zhan had always believed that he would be able to do it sooner or later.

However, it is definitely not now. No matter how confident Mu Zhan is, he still has this self-knowledge.

"Xie Jia always appreciates me, but now the military power of the Mu family is in the hands of my grandfather. I have no right to take over, not to mention that my current ability is not enough."

"He's not coming back."

Before Mu Zhan finished speaking, Jia Xingtian interrupted, causing Mu Zhan's heart to tighten suddenly. He raised his head blankly and looked at Jia Xingtian's eyes, which trembled slightly.

"Jia Lao, what do you mean?"

Looking at Mu Zhan's expression, Jiaxing Tian felt guilty in his heart, and after a long while he spoke and answered in a deep voice.

"I just received news that General Mu Lao has died in the Tagor Desert, so from now on, you will take over his military power."

! ! ! ! !

"impossible!!!"

Upon hearing the news, Mu Zhan's face instantly became extremely ferocious, and he even forgot about etiquette and yelled at Jiaxing Tian.

"Jia Lao! This is absolutely impossible! There is something wrong with this news! There is no way my grandfather died in battle!!!"

Seeing Mu Zhan with a ferocious expression in front of him and angry eyes flashing with sorrow, Jia Xingtian slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"If possible, I hope so." Jia Xingtian opened his eyes, his old red eyes staring closely at Mu Zhan, "But unfortunately, this news has been confirmed several times. General Mu has indeed died in the battle. ”

After hearing Jia Xingtian's affirmative words, Mu Zhan froze on the spot, and his mind was completely white.

His grandfather died in the war?
Just like that, died in battle?
[As a soldier, you should stand upright and dare to do what you do! 】

[Grandson, you must remember that the people are behind us, and we must not retreat! 】

[Remember, you must never forget the responsibility you bear! 】

Echoing what Mu Chen had done to him in the past, tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes, and his shoulders continued to tremble.

Grandpa died on the front line, but I am here focusing on my personal relationship
Damn!

damn thing! ! !
