Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 468

Looking at the silver ball of light before him, Xiao Fan stepped into it without hesitation. He was instantly enveloped by spatial power and disappeared from the spot.

As Xiao Fan stepped into the silver energy, the spatial power gathered on the mountaintop was completely exhausted and vanished from its original spot amidst the tremors.

Having lost the power of the silver space, the rotation speed of the magic circle on the ground gradually slowed down, and then it began to flow almost imperceptibly.

After the mountaintop calmed down, the magic array on the ground gradually merged into the ground and became undetectable...

....................

Gama Empire, Monster Mountain Range.

The Gama Empire has now entered a new era.

After the destruction of the Yunlan Sect, the power holders of the imperial family also changed. With the support of Jia Xingtian, Princess Yaoye ascended to the new throne of the Jia Ma Empire.

After ascending the throne, Yao Ye used the power of the royal family to establish a royal academy in the capital.

Any talented disciple within the empire who passes the test will have the opportunity to enter the Royal Academy for further studies.

Within the Royal Academy, the royal family has placed many of their privately held cultivation techniques and combat skills into the academy. As long as one makes a certain contribution within the academy, one will have the opportunity to access these rare techniques that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

With the destruction of the Yunlan Sect, countless talented disciples in the empire had nowhere to go.

This move by the royal family has greatly gathered together the geniuses within the empire, giving some ordinary young people a chance to turn their lives around.

As for the so-called oppression?

They are practically non-existent within the royal family.

Empress Yaoye personally issued an order that the Royal Academy only considers talent and temperament, and no one is allowed to target commoners without authorization. Otherwise, if she finds out, they will be executed without mercy!

With Jia Xingtian's support, some families in the capital, though harboring resentment, dared not refute him.

As the first batch of students who joined the Royal Academy achieved great success, the academy has attracted many talented individuals to join in the past two years.

The reason these geniuses were able to accept the Royal Academy was partly because Yao Ye truly treated everyone equally within the academy, with no one having any special privileges, whether they were members of the royal family or ordinary citizens.

Everything depends on ability; one can only contribute.

More importantly, the Xiao family, a rising family in the empire, has also funded the establishment of the Royal Academy. Xiao Li, the brother of the current acting patriarch of the Xiao family, has become the head instructor of the Royal Academy.

Strictly speaking, all disciples who join the Royal Academy can be considered Xiao Li's disciples.

Xiao Li's insane training methods were enough to make some instructors feel apprehensive, even within the entire academy.

The Xiao family was originally just a weak family in Wutan City. Their strength was not even worth mentioning in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

However, no one expected this.

Such an inconspicuous family turned out to be the dark horse that ultimately destroyed the Yunlan Sect.

All of this began with a marriage contract from the Xiao family.

As for the Nalan family, the other protagonist in the engagement, although they were not purged after Empress Yaoye ascended the throne, they were completely excluded from the core circle of the Jia Ma Empire.

Furthermore, with the disappearance of Nalan Yanran, a genius of the Nalan family, the Nalan family's strength declined rapidly. If it weren't for Nalan Jie, who was at the Dou Wang realm, supporting them, the Nalan family would probably have been swallowed up by other forces in the capital long ago.

The Xiao family's power in the Gama Empire is such that even the royal family dares not provoke them. Besides being wary of the two geniuses from the Xiao family, there is another reason: the one currently in charge of the Flame Alliance is a powerful expert with the strength of a Dou Zong, the Snake-Man Queen Medusa.

"boom!"

The depths of the Monster Mountain Range have long been designated a restricted area by the royal family of the Gama Empire, prohibiting anyone from the empire from venturing there at will.

At first, some mercenaries overestimated themselves, thinking there was a chance to succeed there. Later, they discovered that the depths of the Monster Mountain Range had long been turned into the territory of the Snake People. After witnessing the terrifying strength of the Snake People, no one dared to venture deeper into the area.

However, at this moment, deep within the Monster Mountain Range, an explosion rang out, followed by a fierce and scorching aura that instantly burst forth. A slightly immature voice rang out, carrying a hint of helplessness.

"No, no, if you do that, Aunt You Ruo will come and punish you again..."

Within the mountains, Kai Jin transformed into his true form and flew in mid-air, looking down at the two little ancestors, unsure of how to proceed.

Just when Kaijin was at his wit's end, a figure flew over from afar, none other than Flower Snake, the captain of Medusa's personal guard.

However, Hua She'er's strength has already reached the Dou Huang realm.

"Sister Flower Snake..."

Kai Jin looked at Hua She'er as she grew old and hurriedly spoke. Hua She'er nodded gently to Kai Jin. She was quite familiar with this young son of the Amethyst Winged Lion King because she used to frequently visit the Snake-People Clan.

When her gaze fell on the ground, looking at the two figures rolling in the mud, with nowhere to grab them, her forehead twitched and a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

The two figures, who were playing happily in the mud, seemed to sense the presence above. They looked up together, their innocent eyes seeing the flower snake in mid-air. They looked at her with cooing sounds and stretched out their dirty little hands.

Seeing this, Hua She'er smiled brightly, not caring about the mud on the two figures, and picked them up, placing them in the pool in the distance.

Gently removing the clothes from the two figures, he scooped up the cool lake water with his right hand and carefully washed the mud off their bodies.

Kaijin landed to the side, watching the flower snake gently wash away the mud, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Strange, why isn't Aunt You Ruo coming today...?"

"The Xiao family came to see the two little ones, and Her Majesty the Queen went to fetch them."

While listening to Kaijin's words, Huashe'er continued washing the two little ones' dirty bodies, and then said to Kaijin, "You too, why did you keep letting them crawl into the mud? Look how filthy they are. It's a good thing it wasn't Her Majesty the Queen, otherwise, they would have definitely gotten a couple of slaps..."

Chapter 227 Taking Action Upon Hearing the Rumors (Second Update)

Upon hearing Hua She'er's words, Kai Jin looked embarrassed and stood aside with his head down, not saying a word.

After a while, Flower Snake washed the mud off the two little ones, took out two sets of beautiful clothes from her storage ring, put them on the two exquisitely beautiful little children, and clapped her hands in satisfaction.

Then, she held one child in each arm, while the two little ones were held by Flower Snake, their heads resting on Flower Snake's shoulders, staring at each other through Flower Snake's head, constantly blowing bubbles.

Kaijin followed behind Huashe'er, his gaze sweeping over the two heads lying quietly on Huashe'er's shoulder, his eyes full of doubt.

He couldn't understand whether Sister Flower Snake had some kind of magic.

Why are these two troublemakers so noisy when they're with me? Why are they so quiet when they're with Sister Flower Snake?

Unable to figure out the answer, Kaijin stopped thinking about it and followed Hua She'er toward the snake-people's settlement.

Along the way, many snake people showed respect when they saw Flower Snake, and stood there watching her go.

In the land of the Serpent People.

You Ruo sat quietly in the chair, while the Third Elder of the Xiao family sat below her. The Third Elder, who was usually hot-tempered, was now sitting here and appeared extremely calm.

The sleeve was empty, and there was still only one arm. The other arm had been lost in the battle between Yunlan Sect and Xiao Family. In fact, if Nalan Yanran hadn't saved them, the three elders of Xiao Family would have perished long ago.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I wonder about the two young masters..."

The Third Elder looked up at You Ruo and spoke somewhat reservedly.

Although everyone already knows about the relationship between You Ruo and Xiao Fan, apart from Xiao Yan, the others find it difficult to face Xiao Fan with ease.

The reason he ran towards the snake-people tribe was because he received instructions from Xiao Ding, the current acting head of the Xiao family.

The relationship between the Xiao family and the Snake-People clan had long been established through Xiao Fan, and Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were the reason why the Xiao family was so prosperous.

Therefore, now that Xiao Fan is no longer alive, the Xiao family naturally wants to show concern for his descendants.

"Kaijin took those two little ones out to play, and I've already sent someone to pick them up."

You Ruo slowly opened her mouth, looking at the Third Elder without saying much.

The Third Elder nodded upon hearing this, and was about to speak when he saw the Flower Snake flying over from afar.

"Yeah ah!"

The two little heads on the shoulders of the flower snake looked at the familiar scene around them, and their gazes fell on You Ruo not far away. They stretched out their chubby little hands and showed You Ruo a bright smile.

You Ruo looked at the chubby little face on Hua She'er's shoulder, a bright smile appeared on her face, and her figure flashed. When she reappeared, she had already landed in front of Hua She'er and reached out to take the two little ones.

The third elder of the Xiao family, who was standing to the side, smiled brightly when he saw the two children. Just as he was about to speak, he saw You Ruo's expression suddenly change and her aura suddenly turn gloomy.

"Everyone, immediately declare martial law!"

As You Ruo's expression changed, Hua She'er's expression also shifted. She hurriedly roared, and several terrifying auras instantly rushed over from all directions of the snake-people, protecting You Ruo and her group in the center.

"Wha...what's wrong?"

The Third Elder looked at You Ruo and the others, who were on high alert, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face. It was because his strength was too weak to detect the changes in the surrounding energy.

"Take them all to the rear."

You Ruo's cool voice rang out softly, but her gaze remained fixed ahead.

Upon hearing You Ruo's words, Hua She'er did not hesitate at all. She immediately organized the snake-people's guard team to escort the Xiao family members and the weaker snake-people towards the rear of the snake-people's territory.

Although the Third Elder was full of doubts, seeing the current situation, he knew that there must be a major change.

With a powerful enemy approaching, he knew his strength was too weak and that staying here would be of no use. He could only pray that nothing unexpected would happen.

At the same time, he was also filled with doubt. You Ruo had already reached the Dou Zong realm, making her the undisputed number one in strength in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Furthermore, the Snake-People race now boasts several Douhuang-level powerhouses. Even when facing the royal family of the Gama Empire, the Snake-People race is confident of victory. Who would dare to provoke the Snake-People race?

Crucially, it also made You Ruo feel as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

With his doubts still lingering, the Third Elder, escorted by the Serpent Clan, moved away from the front, silently awaiting the final outcome.

"Your Majesty, this is...."

Mobas stepped forward, sensing the strange fluctuations ahead, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

The energy within the Monster Mountain Range seemed to be inexplicably drawn towards this direction, and the energy fluctuations emanating from it made even Mobas and the others extremely nervous.

Despite their own Douhuang-level strength, they felt as insignificant as ants when faced with this strange energy.
