Jia Ma Empire, Imperial Capital, Jia Ma Holy City.
Gazing at the imperial city below, Queen Medusa raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't your Mo League in Yancheng? What are you doing here?"
Mo Tang smiled faintly and said slowly, "Of course, I'm here to collect a debt..."
Jia Xingtian had promised to give him half of the Jia Ma royal family's assets in exchange for peace between the Mo League and the Yunlan Sect. Because these items were so complex, Mo Tang gave him plenty of time to sort them out.
Although he hadn't been in Jia Ma Holy City for a while, and there was no guarantee that the old man Jia Xingtian wouldn't play tricks, Mo Tang was confident he wouldn't renege on his debt.
Before the three of them could linger for long, a figure swiftly flew out from the imperial city below and landed right in front of Mo Tang and the others.
There was no way around it; they were so conspicuous...
Standing directly above the imperial city, their initial discovery nearly frightened the imperial guards to death.
Still dressed in his linen robes, Jia Xingtian ascended to the sky. Seeing Queen Medusa and Little Medical Fairy standing beside Mo Tang, his pupils suddenly constricted...
"Another Dou Zong expert!"
It seemed as though Dou Zongs, once rare, had suddenly become more numerous these days. In just a few months, he had already seen three...
and each one was incredibly beautiful, and each one was related to that man!
"What kind of incredible luck is this?"
Even Jia Xingtian couldn't help but feel a surge of envy towards Mo Tang.
But envy aside, there was still work to be done.
Looking at Mo Tang, Jia Xingtian forced a smile and said, "Alliance Master Mo is back? I've prepared the things I promised you. Please review them."
With that, Jia Xingtian tossed over a string of storage rings...
Mo Tang couldn't help but roll his eyes as he caught them.
"Old Jia, do you really need to do this? Five basic storage rings? Would I be so frivolous if you used a high-level ring?"
Jia Xingtian gave a wry smile and shook his head, "Alliance Leader Mo, you're joking. High-level storage rings are so precious! Even my royal family only has one, this old man. Are you expecting me to use my own ring to store these things?"
Mo Tang curled his lips in a smile. This old man always pretended to be poor in front of him.
But what he said wasn't necessarily false; after all, high-level storage rings were extremely difficult to obtain.
Mo Tang examined the contents of the five rings one by one...
Besides some elixirs, medicinal herbs, and magic cores, there were even more magical weapons and armor, martial arts techniques, and a huge amount of gold coins and other items.
Although there was a lot of stuff, Mo Tang noticed something.
There were no elixirs above the fifth grade, and no magic cores above the fifth level...
As for the martial arts and fighting techniques, there were only a few low- and mid-level Xuan-level techniques and fighting techniques. Nothing else was to be found.
Mo Tang didn't believe the Jiama royal family didn't possess those high-end treasures.
However, he wasn't prepared to pursue the matter further.
While it wasn't impossible for him to plunder the royal family with his current power, what would happen next?
Without the royal family, the entire Jiama Empire would be plunged into chaos, and those outsiders who had always coveted the empire would take advantage of the situation to plunder.
Mo Tang might be able to walk away, but all he'd leave behind would be a mess and millions of corpses across the Jiama Empire.
While he wasn't a saint, he didn't have a penchant for wiping out entire nations and clans.
As for taking over such a vast empire, regardless of whether he could do it, even if he could, the time it would take would be enough for him to travel to Zhongzhou to acquire even more advanced resources.
It was simply not worth the effort. Mo Tang wasn't stupid, so he wouldn't do it. He
simply transferred all his items to his inventory, then used the inventory's automatic sorting function to gather everything he could use, and finally, with a single click, converted them!
"Intermediate Energy Found: 12,800 points. Absorb with one click?"
"Yes/No."
"Yes!"
Mo Tang's eyes flushed with a sudden surge of over 10,000 Intermediate Energy points.
"Adding to the 4,100 I gained previously, I now have 16,900 Intermediate Energy points, enough for Dou Huang advancement!"
Mo Tang couldn't help but smile brightly.
However, Jia Xingtian, standing across from him, twitched at the sight of this smile, his heart aching as if stabbed by a knife.
These are the royal family's collection, accumulated over a hundred years!!!
Resisting the urge to pin down the greedy little creature and give him a beating, Jia Xingtian forced a smile and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, Alliance Leader Mo, since our deal is complete, shouldn't we also fulfill our agreement?"
Mo Tang immediately came to his senses and put on a warm smile, replying, "Of course, of course, the sphere of influence of our Mo Alliance is only the eastern province. I will announce this when I return.
But as you know, Elder Jia, the Mo Alliance still has many families from other places joining, just like the Nalan family. They are already in the imperial capital, so many things are inevitable..."
Jia Xingtian twitched his lips and gritted his teeth, saying, "Alright!"
"For this kind of thing, my royal family can agree to peaceful coexistence. But if we encounter an external enemy, like the three empires that are eyeing our Jiama Empire, the Mo League must stand by the royal family and provide necessary assistance. We cannot stand aside!"
Mo Tang naturally agreed to this.
After all, the Mo League is destined to develop within the Jiama Empire. If anything happens to the Jiama Empire, they will also be implicated.
Moreover, Mo Tang intends to keep the Mo League as low-profile as possible in the future. Otherwise, if the Soul Palace ignites a war in the northwest continent, wouldn't the Mo League be the first to bear the brunt?
"Hehe, being low-key doesn't mean being weak. As long as we develop secretly and gain sufficient strength, we can naturally do whatever we want!"
Mo Tang also mentioned this to Queen Medusa.
The Tagor Desert, where the Serpent People live, is adjacent to the Eastern Province. In that case, the Serpent People and the Mo League can provide mutual assistance.
With the Serpent People so concerned, Queen Medusa couldn't possibly abandon her people and go to Zhongzhou with Mo Tang...
So Mo Tang had already made preparations, and once things were settled, he would keep her here to help him coordinate everything.
With Medusa's many years of experience as a queen, as long as she was prepared, she would definitely do better than Mo Tang imagined.
