Chapter 302 - Chapter 302: Heart of Stone

The news of Sky Thunder Venerate's defeat spread quickly. Even though the people of the Sky Thunder Sect tried to seal it off immediately, the cultivators gathered at Sky Cloud Peak still witnessed the scene of Sky Thunder Venerate's final defeat.

Sky Thunder Venerate, the strongest leader of the allied forces and the guardian deity they all relied on, lost his divine might.

In the sky, the thunder continued, but it sounded somewhat low.

This scattered thunder could never break through the Black-Corner Region no matter what.

Those high-level figures of the Sky Thunder Sect who were originally waiting and seeing exited sadly at this moment.

The powerful strength displayed by Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin reversed the situation in an instant and defeated Sky Thunder Venerate, leaving them with no time to react.

Of course, the most important thing was that facing this power, they were trembling with fear.

Afraid that if they chased after them, they would be counter-killed by the two women.

Three days later, Qing Lin and Lin Xian'er returned to Feng City and brought Sky Thunder Venerate to Han Feng.

"Master, we brought the person to you."

Han Feng looked at Sky Thunder Venerate, who was still in a coma, and stepped forward to observe carefully.

"Poisoned by you, huh?"

Han Feng said.

Lin Xian'er's Poison Art was quite skillful; threatening a Dou Venerate was no problem.

"Not bad. You passed this assessment."

Han Feng smiled and nodded.

Actually, he had been paying attention to Qing Lin and Lin Xian'er, witnessing the whole process of their battle through the puppet's eyes.

From kidnapping the enemy marshal to attacking Sky Cloud Peak.

The performance of the two women was remarkable.

Defeating a Dou Venerate powerhouse is not something ordinary people can do.

Even with Lin Xian'er having the Rank 8 Sky Phoenix Armor to help, and Qing Lin having two super magical beasts, the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python and the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python, to protect her, the probability of their failure was still very high.

The original plan this time was to test the limits of the two women and help them better recognize their own strength.

As for defeating Sky Thunder Venerate, Han Feng did not insist on it.

The performance of the two women this time gave him a small surprise.

"Master, then you are not allowed to refuse the request we make!"

Lin Xian'er said with a smile at this time.

Han Feng sighed.

"Fine, think carefully about what you want, and tell me when you've decided."

He naturally wouldn't go back on what he promised his disciple.

"Detoxify him."

Han Feng pointed at Sky Thunder Venerate and said.

Lin Xian'er nodded, walked to Sky Thunder Venerate, and removed the toxins from his body.

The physique of a Dou Venerate powerhouse is extraordinary. After the toxin trapping him was removed, he soon regained consciousness.

Sizzle!

Powerful lightning arcs were unconsciously released from Sky Thunder Venerate's body, seeming to speed up the recovery action.

The power of thunder quickly disintegrated the residual toxins in the body.

Boom!

Sky Thunder Venerate opened his eyes abruptly. Just as he was about to get up, he was pressed back to the original place by a large energy hand.

Han Feng looked at Sky Thunder Venerate calmly and said: "Behave yourself. You are in Feng City now."

Seeing Han Feng, Sky Thunder Venerate's pupils shook violently.

"Feng City! You are Han Feng!"

"It's me."

Han Feng said.

"They are your people!"

Sky Thunder Venerate looked at Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin, anger naturally rising in his eyes, but in the next instant, he laughed at himself again.

A dignified Dou Venerate defeated by two little girls; he has completely become a laughing stock among Dou Venerates.

The title of the weakest Dou Venerate will probably fall on him.

"Sky Thunder Venerate, since you lost, you have to admit it."

Han Feng did not intend to let Sky Thunder Venerate go easily. If it weren't for him, the allied forces resisting the Black-Corner Region wouldn't have been formed so smoothly.

Sky Thunder Venerate laughed bitterly twice.

"Does admitting it or not make any sense?"

He has become a prisoner. Han Feng's palm just now made him deeply realize the gap between himself and the opponent.

"With a powerhouse like you in the Black-Corner Region, we have no chance of winning at all. We can only blame ourselves for underestimating your weight."

Sky Thunder Venerate said.

If he had detailed intelligence on Han Feng in advance, he would absolutely not provoke the Black-Corner Region.

Unfortunately, very little information about Han Feng has circulated over the years, making it impossible for him to see clearly what kind of character this overlord who pacified the Black-Corner Region is.

Logically speaking, the Sky Thunder Sect has more than one Dou Venerate powerhouse and can crush any Black-Corner Region force except Canaan College.

With such strength, gathering various countries to break the alliance of the Black-Corner Region should be easy.

But Sky Thunder Venerate overlooked that Canaan College, which had always taken maintaining the stability of the Black-Corner Region as its own responsibility, chose to watch the Black Alliance grow and develop this time without intervening.

This actually explains the problem.

Compared with the comprehensive strength, the Canaan College established by Mang Tian Chi back then was even above the Sky Thunder Sect, an existence that Sky Thunder Venerate dared not provoke in the past.

A college with such a background also chose to coexist with the Black Alliance.

Either the strength of the Black Alliance is stronger than Mang Tian Chi, or the two have reached an agreement not to hinder each other anymore.

Han Feng looked at Sky Thunder Venerate, whose spirit had dissipated, and waved his hand to let the puppet take him away.

A small island was newly built on the Black Sea side, specially used to imprison powerful sinners.

In the previous operation to clean up the Black-Corner Region, unqualified City Lords who were not guilty of death were imprisoned there.

However, a Dou Venerate powerhouse is the first one now.

Sky Thunder Venerate's next fate is to have his cultivation sealed and then serve his sentence in the Black Sea Prison.

After sending away Sky Thunder Venerate, Han Feng knew that this war against the Black-Corner Region was about to end.

Capture the thief first, capture the king; this saying is not unreasonable.

Without Sky Thunder Venerate, the rest of the allies knew what to choose.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

The current Sky Thunder Sect has to start worrying about how other sects with similar strength will challenge its overlord status in that area.

The decline of one force and the rise of another sometimes may not require hard power stronger than the opponent.

Luck is often a key factor determining the rise and fall of a force.

About a week later, the allied army collapsed without attack. Han Lie led the elite team to arrest the leaders of each army and demanded huge compensation from various countries.

In wartime, the resources consumed every day are huge. Since they won, it is time to collect benefits.

Winner takes all; loser eats dust.

Three days later, Han Lie returned with the army carrying a large amount of spoils.

As Han Feng's private subordinate, he did not embezzle these properties, nor did he have any family behind him needing to share the spoils. These spoils all entered the Feng City treasury and became assets called by Han Feng.

Although the current Han Feng looks down on many of these things, there are also some good things worth collecting.

He picked out some as rewards for Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin. These two girls haven't stated their requests until now, and probably don't intend to use this opportunity in a short time, so he might as well give them some gifts first.

For the main force of this war, Han Feng was also not stingy with rewards and distributed resources.

The reward Han Lie received this time was very special; it was a Rank 8 pill capable of improving his cultivation aptitude. After refining, breaking through to Dou Venerate in the future will not be a problem.

With the end of the war, the Black-Corner Region returned to peace again.

Han Feng was also preparing to leave the Black-Corner Region to continue his plan.

Before leaving, he visited Canaan College, met Elder Su Qian, and the Thousand Hundred Second Elders.

The Thousand Hundred Second Elders are now Dou Venerate powerhouses, living a very comfortable life. Elder Su Qian is still the same, but his cultivation has also improved, just without qualitative changes.

After learning that Zi Yan became a Rank 8 magical beast, Su Qian lamented that the little guy brought back back then is now far stronger than him.

Back then, he could easily withstand a punch from Zi Yan. Now, he would probably be beaten directly into another world, right?

After meeting old friends, Han Feng returned to Feng City, sent someone to the Xiao family to call Xiao Yan, and then took Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin to shuttle through space again and return to the Falling Star Pavilion.

"Senior Brother, I feel I'm about to break through to Dou Emperor."

Xiao Yan said to Han Feng.

After the battle in the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan came back to settle for a while and felt that his bottleneck was about to break.

"Then find a good place and start seclusion properly."

Han Feng took out a pill and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan chuckled and reached out to take it.

Reporting to Senior Brother, isn't it just to get some benefits?

To be honest, Xiao Yan feels that the pills refined by Senior Brother are slightly better than Teacher's.

Of course, such words absolutely cannot be said in front of Yao Chen.

Han Feng looked at Qing Lin and asked: "Qing Lin should be about to break through to Nine-Star Dou Emperor too, right?"

Qing Lin nodded.

She encountered no bottleneck troubles, and her cultivation also improved after experiencing extreme battles.

Now she is not far from Nine-Star Dou Emperor.

Seeing this, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

The joy of obtaining high-level pills just now was diluted a lot.

Every one of them, why are they all so powerful?

Whether Qingluan or Qing Lin, they are younger than him, but their cultivation has reached the rank of High-Level Dou Emperor.

Beating him up is absolutely no problem.

Last time Xiao Yan didn't believe in heresy and sparred with Mu Qingluan, but ended up being beaten severely.

This let Xiao Yan know that Dou Emperors are different from Dou Emperors.

Some Dou Emperors can't even beat him, while some Dou Emperors can counter-kill Dou Venerates.

Han Feng nodded: "Then cultivate for a while longer, and I will send you back to the Sky Serpent Mansion."

Qing Lin's master instructed last time that to break through to Dou Venerate, she still has to return to the Sky Serpent Mansion to break through.

Han Feng also stated he would go to watch.

"Uncle Han, I estimate it will take about a year and a half."

Qing Lin said.

Breaking through to Nine-Star Dou Emperor and preparing to advance to Dou Venerate are two different things.

Entering Nine-Star Dou Emperor, one still needs to accumulate a large amount of energy before preparing to break through to Dou Venerate.

Lin Xian'er prepared for two years for this, and Qing Lin also needs more than a year.

"That's just right. The Four Pavilions Grand Competition will be in a year and a half. At that time, let's see which of you three improves the fastest."

Han Feng laughed.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Isn't this definitely him?

Everyone knows that the higher the cultivation, the slower the advancement.

He is still at the Dou King realm now. Even if he breaks through to Dou Emperor, the advancement speed is still considerable.

Unlike Qing Lin and Lin Xian'er.

One preparing to advance to Dou Venerate, one already a Dou Venerate.

Xiao Yan has heard about the difficulty of advancing to Dou Venerate. Didn't you see Yun Shan of the Misty Cloud Sect and the old man Jia Xingtian of the Jia Ma Empire preparing for decades to advance to Dou Venerate?

"Master, is there a reward this time too?"

Lin Xian'er asked.

"You haven't redeemed the last one yet. What, want to save it?"

Han Feng looked at his disciple and said.

"Can't I?"

Lin Xian'er asked back.

"Yes."

Han Feng nodded.

It would be best if the silly disciple could save it for more time, redeeming it after he defeats Hun Tiandi. At that time, he probably can be very relaxed, right?

After setting the agreement to motivate the three to cultivate, Han Feng went to visit Yao Chen.

In the back mountain hut, Yao Chen brewed a pot of spiritual tea. Seeing Han Feng arrive, he also poured him a cup.

"Feng'er, you have already started acting?"

Yao Chen asked.

Han Feng took the teacup with both hands and nodded.

Teacher should already know about the matter in the Northern Region.

"What do you plan to do next? Now the Hall of Souls won't rest until they catch you."

The Soul Execution Division provoked the Hall of Souls one after another. This time, probably besides the Man Hall, the Earth Hall and Heaven Hall will also take action.

Han Feng drank a sip of tea calmly, then said: "If he dares to catch, I dare to cut off his claws."

"Teacher, this time things should get quite big."

Yao Chen sighed.

"I can guess even if you don't say. Alright, since you have already started, then we also have to work harder."

Clearly having broken through to Dou Saint, but Han Feng, this kid's actions, make Yao Chen unable to keep up with the train of thought every time.

The ten-year plan agreed upon before is now advanced, and the original progress must be accelerated to catch up.

"In the Northwest Continent, I heard many wars broke out. Have you figured out the specific situation?"

"Figured it out long ago; otherwise, why would I act against the Hall of Souls now?"

Yao Chen narrowed his eyes.

"It really is them!"

"Has the Hall of Souls already suspected you?"

Han Feng shook his head: "Probably not yet; otherwise, they wouldn't just be manipulators behind the scenes."

If they discovered Han Feng's true identity and locked onto the target, with the means of the Hall of Souls, they would definitely use any means necessary, wishing to attack together to take Han Feng down.

Now the Hall of Souls in the Northwest Continent is just fueling the flames behind the scenes, far from reaching the moment of madness.

"Since it has started, treat it seriously. During this time, Xian'er and Qing Lin will stay in the Falling Star Pavilion to cultivate. When you go out to deal with the Hall of Souls, don't bring them along!"

Yao Chen said.

Han Feng smiled bitterly: "Teacher, I know even without you saying. Of course, I won't bring them along!"

The Hall of Souls is too dangerous; a moment of carelessness will lead to a place of no return.

Han Feng's original intention was to let Yao Chen help look after the two girls, providing protection while guiding their cultivation by the way.

"Good that you know. I'm worried about that girl Xian'er; she clings to you too much. Don't be soft-hearted for a moment and let her be!"

"Teacher, you think too much!"

Han Feng said helplessly.

Is he the kind of person who can't distinguish between big and small matters?

Even if Xian'er is clingy, he has a heart of stone and won't be soft-hearted.

Han Feng and Yao Chen finished drinking a pot of tea. Then Yao Chen waved his hand and said: "Rest well today, and hurry up tomorrow to do what you have to do."
