Fighting with fire shadow

Facing Ximen Cheng's appreciative gaze, those hot young ladies, instead of showing any shy expression, boldly gave him flirtatious glances.

do not forget!Ximen Cheng has always been wearing the clothes of an alchemist, and coupled with his already handsome face, he is still very lethal to women.

If it weren't for the fact that Ximen Cheng was accompanied by the Little Medical Fairy and Nezuko, there would have been bold passersby who would have come up to chat with him.

After walking near the city gate, Ximen Cheng looked up and saw two huge pale red fonts carved above the city gate - Mocheng!

At the gate of the city, more than a dozen soldiers in armor were holding long guns and yelling at the passers-by entering the city to pay the city entrance tax.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, these soldiers were also very irritable. When urging passers-by to line up to enter the city, they often cursed.

"..."

Seeing the long queue of people entering the city not far away, Ximen Cheng frowned slightly and led the Little Medical Fairy and the others directly into the city.

Alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire enjoy extremely high benefits. There is no need to queue up when entering the city, and there is no need to pay the city entry tax.

In fact, according to the regulations of the empire, the little medical fairy and Nezuko are not alchemists. They should queue up and pay the city entry tax.

It's just that when the soldiers guarding the city saw the alchemist badge on Ximen Cheng's chest, no one stepped forward to block the way without being quick-sighted, but they were selectively blind.

After all, these soldiers guarding the city are all veterans, and they don't want to offend an alchemist for a few copper coins.

After walking out of the somewhat dim city wall passage, their vision brightened slightly. The city buildings with unique desert characteristics appeared in Ximen Cheng's sight, which made them feel as if they were eye-opening.

The little medical fairy asked: "A-Cheng, where should we go next? Directly into the Tagore Desert?"

"No rush! If we enter the Tagore Desert directly now, we will easily get lost in it. We must first purchase a detailed desert map and then prepare sufficient water sources and supplies."

A glint flashed in Ximen Cheng's eyes, and he said meaningfully: "And as far as I know, there is a very powerful senior living in seclusion in Mocheng. Since we are all here, we can't not pay a visit."

"A very powerful senior?"

The little medical fairy knows Ximen Cheng's true identity, and the person who can be called such by him is definitely not a simple person.

Under the curious gaze of the little medical fairy, Ximen Cheng first asked passers-by about the location of the map store in the city, and then led them towards the best map store.

"Gu Tu, it should be here."

Ximen Cheng stared at the word '古图' on the plaque at the door, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and walked in with the two women.

The interior of the store is not too spacious. The two moonstones emit a faint light, illuminating the store quite brightly. The whole store exudes a simple atmosphere.

Ximen Cheng's eyes scanned the bookshelves in the store, and finally his eyes fell on the owner of the store. He was an old man with white hair, lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed and taking a nap.

Ximen Cheng shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that the famous Ice Emperor Haibodong, who was so powerful in the Jia Ma Empire back then, would actually fall to this level."

"bass!!!"

The white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed away, and a cold breath instantly filled the entire store.

"Boy, who are you?!"

Haibodong's eyes were extremely sharp, and the fighting spirit in his body was ready to explode with a thunderous strike at any time.

Ximen Cheng didn't pay attention to Hai Bodong's alert look. He cupped his hands without changing his expression and said, "I'm Ximen Cheng, a disciple of the Yunlan Sect. I've met Senior Ice Emperor."

"Ximen Cheng?"

Haibodong searched his mind, narrowed his eyes and said, "It turns out that the young master of the Yunlan Sect is here. Didn't your master come?"

The reason why Haibodong chose to live in seclusion in Mocheng over the years was partly to find a way to remove the snake-human seal from his body, and partly to avoid being pursued by his enemies.

Back then, Haibodong was one of the top ten strong men in the Jia Ma Empire, and he was also one of the top Dou Huang masters, so he naturally provoked many powerful enemies.

In his heyday, Haibodong would not take those enemies seriously, but since he was sealed by Queen Medusa, his cultivation level has been reduced to the spirit-fighting level.

If those powerful enemies learn of this news, I am afraid they will never miss the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, and even the Miter family may be destroyed as a result.

It was precisely because of this that he was so nervous when Ximen Cheng revealed Hai Bodong's identity. His relationship with the Yunlan Sect was not good at that time, and he even fought with Yunshan several times.

"Senior, there is no need to be so nervous. I also accidentally learned of senior's whereabouts. My master did not know about this."

Naturally, the probing meaning in Hai Bodong's words could not be hidden from Ximen Cheng. He smiled and said, "I came here today just to make a deal with senior. I am not here on behalf of the Yunlan Sect."

When Haibodong heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he asked calmly: "What kind of deal? Let's talk about it."

"I know that senior has been sealed by the snake people, and I can also help senior remove the seal on his body."

Halfway through Ximen Cheng's words, he paused slightly, then smiled and said: "If I really help senior lift the seal in my body, I hope senior can agree to do three things for me."

"What is the specific matter? You can't ask me to surrender to the Yunlan Sect, or ask me to commit suicide. I have to agree to it, right?"

Ximen Cheng thought for a while and said: "What exactly do you want senior to do for you? I haven't thought about it yet, but I can assure you that what I ask you to do for help will definitely be within your ability, and it will not violate the principles of senior's work. Otherwise, senior has the right to refuse."

"If that's the case, I would be willing to make this deal with you, but do you really have a way to lift the seal for me?"

It's no wonder that Hai Bodong would be suspicious. After all, in his perception, Ximen Cheng is just a small fighter now.

If it weren't for the fact that Ximen Cheng was the young master of the Yunlan Sect, Haibodong wouldn't have taken him seriously at all.

"I don't have the ability to help senior remove the seal on his body now, but my sister may have the ability to remove the seal for senior."

Ximen Cheng touched Nezuko's little head, pointed at Haibodong and said, "Nezuko, this old man has been sealed. Use the vampire technique to burn out the alien energy in his body."
