Chapter 158: The Excited Xiao Clan Members

"Hai Bodong, what exactly are you trying to do, you old thing?" Jia Xingtian transmitted his voice to Hai Bodong in anger.

After all, for people of their status, the incident where Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement and nearly scared the old man to death was absolutely no secret.

And now that this old rascal Hai Bodong had brought it up right in front of the person involved, wasn't that just embarrassing?

However, the fellow who had just done the bad deed put on an innocent look.

"Don't forget, the lethality of the Xiao Clan's tribesmen on the battlefield between the two countries; have you really not notified them?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten. In fact, this news was sent to the Xiao Clan a long time ago," Jia Xingtian replied indignantly.

The Xiao Clan was a powerful fresh force! As one of the few people in the Jia Ma Empire who understood part of the Xiao Clan's strength, Jia Xingtian could be said to rely on them quite heavily.

Every time a war broke out between the Jia Ma Empire and surrounding countries, the Xiao Clan would form an independent army to assist the Jia Ma Empire in repelling the invading enemies.

Even though most of the Xiao Clan members who came were below the Dou Wang level, plus a few Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses, the role they played was comparable to hundreds of thousands of elite troops.

The most critical thing was that they didn't ask for rewards, nor would they take the initiative to boast of their merits; only a few in the upper echelons of the empire knew of their existence.

It was simply too considerate of the Gama Imperial Family.

Therefore, almost every time there was a need for external warfare, Jia Xingtian would send an invitation to the Xiao Clan on behalf of the Gama Imperial Family.

And this time was no exception.

But Jia Xingtian was one hundred percent certain that this fellow Hai Bodong was definitely doing it on purpose, specifically to disgust the Yunlan Sect.

This old boy appeared cold and aloof on the surface, but in reality, he was an old urchin. He had always been unhappy with the Yunlan Sect, and since he couldn't beat Yun Shan, he could only play some petty tricks to bully the inarticulate Yun Yun.

"Excuse me, Elder Jia, there are still matters in the sect that need to be handled, so this junior will take her leave first." Without waiting for Jia Xingtian to finish, Yun Yun took her leave and departed.

"Since Sect Master Yun has already left, this old man will also take his leave. Wherever there is a need for my Alchemist Guild, this old man will never refuse." Immediately after, Fama also excused himself and left.

Only Jia Xingtian, with his not-so-pleasant expression, and Hai Bodong, who sat in his original seat drinking tea as if nothing had happened, remained.

"You, you..." Jia Xingtian shook his head as he looked at Hai Bodong, "You and Yun Shan don't get along, so what's the point of bullying her student?"

"It's nothing, just a sudden whim," Hai Bodong said calmly.

"I want to see just how much face that disciple's disciple of Yun Shan will lose for him." As he spoke, a smile appeared on Hai Bodong's face, which was as cold and unchanging as solid ice all year round.

In the eyes of those like Hai Bodong who knew the Xiao Clan's foundation, Nalan Yanran had absolutely no chance of winning the Three Year Agreement, even if her opponent was a "trash" who only had three stages of Dou Qi two years ago!

"Suit yourself." Jia Xingtian also knew that Hai Bodong was purely in a mischievous mood, but he knew his limits, so the former did not stop him.

"As long as you mobilize your Mittal Auction House for me, do whatever you want," Jia Xingtian said.

He had a premonition that there was more to this great war than met the eye, so it would be inevitable to need the Mittal Auction House to assist in the mobilization of logistical resources.

"No problem, we are all people of the Jia Ma Empire. Dealing with the trash of the Chu Yun Empire is a duty my Miter Clan cannot shirk." By the end of his words, a cold glint flickered in Hai Bodong's eyes, his killing intent undisguised.

The Xiao Clan.

Xiao Zhan frowned as he looked at a letter in his hand; the blood-red mark on it clearly indicated that the matter was very tricky.

"Could it be related to this war between Jia Ma and Chu Yun!" Xiao Zhan pondered to himself.

He had received Jia Xingtian's invitation a long time ago and hadn't taken it to heart.

After all, the Xiao Clan still belonged to the forces of the Jia Ma Empire, and this kind of national war was a very good training opportunity for the young people of the Xiao Clan; he had no reason to refuse.

But he always felt that there was a conspiracy behind this sudden war.

Immediately, Xiao Zhan opened the letter, and soon his expression turned gloomy; without any movement from his hands, the letter was shattered by his Dou Qi.

"Those guys actually found their way to the Chu Yun Empire."

"Someone come!" Xiao Zhan called out.

Immediately, a figure in black appeared, cupping their hands: "Clan Leader!"

"Pass the word down: for this war with Chu Yun, all Xiao Clan combat members below the Dou Zong level are to be dispatched, and send two additional Dou Zong Elders."

"Yes!"

"Boom!"

A Magic Beast fell with a wail, blood gushing out like a fountain; it looked at the tiny human figure who had taken its life with unwillingness, and gradually lost its breath.

A Xiao Clan member carrying a giant axe on his shoulder flicked the sticky blood off the axe head casually and signaled for the Xiao Clan members behind him to get ready to leave.

"Hmm?" At this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the letter-bird coming from the horizon like a stream of light.

"News from the clan," the man said, looking slightly excited. Spending years in the wilderness fighting various Magic Beasts was always a bit dull.

Every time news came from the clan, it meant something good was about to happen; he wondered who they were going to take down this time?

The others also knew that it was likely the clan had a mission to dispatch, so they all looked at their leader with anticipation.

After browsing the contents of the letter, a fervent smile appeared on the man's face, which made the other tribesmen feel a bit strange.

"Everyone pack up, we've got work to do!" he called out excitedly, "Hurry up!"

Following Xiao Zhan's order, many Xiao Clan members who were out in the field stopped what they were doing the moment they received the command and headed toward the border between Chu Yun and Jia Ma to rendezvous.

For a time, it actually brought relief to the many Magic Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"Dare to act as lackeys, and I'll chop you all up!" The aura on Xiao Zhan's body erupted, and the tall trees in the courtyard were shattered into wood chips from the inside out.

Xiao Zhan's level of support for the Jia Ma Empire this time could be said to be quite sincere. After all, the current Xiao Clan, even if it were just the tribesmen below the Dou Zong level, was a complete dimensionality-reduction strike compared to other forces on the Northwest Continent.

Didn't they want to attack the Jia Ma Empire? Didn't they want to grab territory?

I won't even let you enter the border of the Jia Ma Empire, and you won't even be able to pry off a single brick from the wall. I want to see if you can even keep your own territory.

"However, those guys actually found this place; is it time to push forward to the next step of the plan?" Xiao Zhan muttered, then he could only look apologetic.

"This time, I can only be sorry to you, Yan'er."

"Hiss~" At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, suddenly shivered and immediately began to observe his surroundings vigilantly.

At the same time, he did not forget to ask Yao Lao: "Teacher, are there any high-level Magic Beasts nearby?"

"No!" Medicine Elder's somewhat impatient voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind, "Little Yan, you actually dare to doubt me?"

"That's not right!" Xiao Yan still did not lower his guard, "But why did I suddenly have a feeling of my heart turning cold just now, as if I were being stared at by something."

"Hmm?" Yao Lao finally began to take it seriously; this kind of vague intuition of Xiao Yan's was indeed not to be disbelieved, but...

"Little Yan, it's just that you felt wrong; there isn't even a hair of a Magic Beast around here," Medicine Elder said.

"Alright!"

"Don't move around, cultivate properly for me," Yao Lao's stern voice rang out.
