60: The humble Nalan Jie and the self-righteous Mu family

After much back and forth with Medusa, perhaps the time she could appear was coming to an end, so Medusa could only leave a harsh warning.

“Even without the Soul Fusion Pill, this King can deal with that Heaven Swallowing Python’s Soul! Just you wait, this King!”

Xiao Lei only took this as a child's threat, after all... [Copy successful, please choose a copy option, Host.]

“Give me cultivation.”

A Nine-star Dou Huang might seem not far from a One-star Dou Zong, but it is a completely different Realm.

Take the Dou Zong’s signature ability, treading the Void Realm, for example; the speed increase is more than just one level.

If Xiao Lei were to Breakthrough to Dou Zong normally, it would at least require him to seclude himself for about half a year, but where was the time for him to seclude himself now?

Regarding Medusa, Xiao Lei still planned to stall her for now.

Medusa was one who responded to toughness but not gentleness. Although Xiao Lei’s cultivation had caught up, he was still some way off from suppressing her, and there were many other problems in front of him right now!

The night passed without incident.

The next day, in the evening, the Mittel Family became lively.

Not only people from the Mu Family and the Nalan Family, but also a host of forces Xiao Lei had never even heard of appeared.

Xiao Lei was helpless; after all, the Mittel Family had invited the Mu Family and the Nalan Family under the guise of a banquet, and a banquet, of course, needed some supporting roles.

“The Nalan Family arrives!”

A sound caused the somewhat noisy banquet to quiet down, and then a sedan chair appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

“It has to be the Nalan Family; even attending a banquet, they make such a grand display!”

“Heh! I heard that the Nalan Family’s old master is afflicted with the Blazing Poison and is close to death. This time, he probably came to ask Master Xiao for help. Asking for help and still being so ostentatious, hmph hmph!”

Xiao Lei stood on the rooftop, looking down. He wasn't too concerned about these things.

However, the next moment, Nalan Jie rolled out of the sedan chair... Yes! Rolled out.

Literally.

Nalan Su quickly jumped out of the sedan chair with him, reaching out to help Nalan Jie up.

“Let go, this old man isn’t at the point where he needs help!”

Nalan Jie pushed away Nalan Su’s hand, then leaned on his staff, shakily stood up, and looked towards the rooftop where Xiao Lei was observing the crowd below with interest.

After just one glance, Nalan Jie quickly lowered his head again, then slowly moved his legs, inching towards the building.

Seeing this, the people nearby couldn't help but whisper through Soul transmission, “Is Old Master Nalan driven mad by the Blazing Poison?”

“Who knows, but looking at him, it seems true that he’s tormented to death by the Blazing Poison. If Master Xiao doesn’t act...”

These people knew what would happen after Nalan Jie died, and Nalan Jie himself knew even more clearly!

So he came in person.

And did not have Xiao Lei come to his door to treat him.

He was asking Xiao Lei for help, not Xiao Lei asking him!

When Xiao Lei said he wanted the Nalan Family to pledge allegiance to him, Nalan Su would find it insane, but Nalan Jie only found it natural.

After all, if the Nalan Family was unwilling, there were plenty of other Families that would be.

Look at the Families nearby; they were like hungry sharks. As soon as the Nalan Family shed a drop of blood, these people would rush forward to tear the Nalan Family apart.

And Xiao Lei only needed one sentence, and countless such forces would be willing to serve him like dogs. This was the difference.

Nalan Jie walked very slowly, and Nalan Su seemed to have understood Nalan Jie’s intention, no longer acting on his own initiative.

Neither Mittel Tengshan nor Hai Bodong made an appearance, as Xiao Lei had not yet spoken.

“Alright, Tengshan, you go!”

Looking at the effort Nalan Jie was making, Xiao Lei secretly thought: Isn’t he quite clever!

It seems Nalan Jie wasn't actually unaware of Nalan Yanran’s annulment; he just didn’t want to get involved!

Upon receiving Xiao Lei’s words, Mittel Tengshan quickly stepped out, helping Nalan Jie.

“Old Master Nalan, long time no see. If your health isn’t good, why don’t you let the Juniors help you?”

Nalan Jie was also an old hand; seeing Mittel Tengshan, he naturally knew what was going on.

“Heh heh, I haven’t moved much in a long time, wanted to move a bit myself. At this banquet, I wonder if Master Xiao...”

With Mittel Tengshan’s support, Nalan Jie arrived at the second seat on the left side of the main hall. The first seat was occupied by Hai Bodong, and opposite Nalan Jie were Mu Chen, who had arrived earlier, and Mu Zhan behind him.

Nalan Jie’s performance today was not without cost. It could be said that everyone in the city now knew his condition. If he still couldn’t get Xiao Lei to act this time... Before Nalan Jie finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared at the very top of the hall, “Since everyone is here, let’s begin!”

The purpose of events like banquets had always been for socializing, and during the banquet, various forces eagerly tried to curry favor.

Xiao Lei was not good at these things, but fortunately, he didn't need to be. Many people came forward to toast him, often downing three cups themselves first, and Xiao Lei successfully didn't remember a single person.

Soon the banquet ended, and the other miscellaneous small forces, receiving the order to leave, quickly and wisely departed, leaving only the Nalan Family and the Mu Family.

Picking up a wine glass nearby, he took a sip, “I don’t like small talk, so I’ll be direct. Jia Xingtian proactively provoked me and is now dead. Do you two have any thoughts?”

Amazed at Xiao Lei’s directness, Nalan Jie quickly chimed in, “Everyone knows that the three Empires have set their sights on the Jia Ma Empire, and looking at the entire Empire, only Master Xiao, you alone, can bear the great banner of resistance...”

“Hey, I’m asking if you two have any thoughts!”

Hearing this, Nalan Jie was stunned again. What did he mean? Xiao Lei didn’t want to be emperor.

After only a brief pause, Nalan Jie quickly continued, “As the strongest, Master Xiao, you naturally have the right to decide everything. My Nalan Family will follow your lead!”

It must be said that Nalan Jie was indeed so discerning!

Clearly, Nalan Jie had already agreed to Xiao Lei’s previous proposal.

Mu Chen remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, “My Mu Family is just an ordinary Family in the Empire, unrelated to this matter, heh heh!”

“Playing dumb? Heh heh, have it your way!”

A single Mu Family was not yet qualified to influence the overall situation.

After clarifying the attitudes of the two Families, Xiao Lei slowly stood up and walked in front of Nalan Jie.

Seeing Xiao Lei’s actions, Nalan Jie seemed to guess something and immediately became excited.

The next moment, a blue-purple flame floated from Xiao Lei’s hand... After Fusion of the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, Xiao Lei successfully obtained this brand new blue-purple Heavenly Flame.

And the Burning Technique also immediately advanced to the Earth Rank low-level.

He made a pinching gesture with his index finger and thumb, and then Xiao Lei extracted a wisp of the Heavenly Flame... The next moment, thousands of Heavenly Flame threads were drawn out, shooting directly towards Nalan Jie.

Mu Chen was shaken, exclaiming in his Soul, “Divine and miraculous, what kind of control ability is this!”

Xiao Lei’s strength was vividly demonstrated in this single move.

The threads entered Nalan Jie’s body, traveling along his Meridians, and in less than half an incense stick’s time, they forced the Blazing Poison to one spot, and then... Xiao Lei violently activated the Heavenly Flame, and the next moment, a mass of black toxins was brought out of Nalan Jie’s body by the Heavenly Flame.

“Phew! What is this!”

Nalan Jie felt his body, and immediately felt unusually light, as if he had dropped a heavy burden.

“This is a Respiration Pill; it can replenish the deficiencies in your body from these past years.”

Since Nalan Jie had become one of his own, considering the impending great war, Xiao Lei was not stingy... The Nalan Family and the Mu Family were sent away together, and Ya Fei brought Xiao Lei a somewhat unexpected message.

“Oh? Yao Ye, she wants to see me. Commendable courage!”
