Upon hearing the words of the bearded giant, Han Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned extremely ugly, as if he had thought of something.
"Dou Huang... one year... suspected Dou Zong... an unfamiliar flame! Damn it! Could this person be cultivating the Burning Technique? Has she already fused more than two different flames? Could it be that she found that old guy? Is she
looking for something in the Black Corner Region? If she really possesses the Burning Technique, then what she is looking for can only be different flames! Damn old guy! Back then, he refused to give me the Burning Technique no matter what, saying that my mind was not upright, and now? The Burning Technique has fallen into the hands of this ruthless Gu Fen Old Demon!
At this moment, this Gu Fen Old Demon is already a suspected Dou Zong powerhouse, or even if he is not, he is at the peak of Dou Huang. With the fused different flames, even ordinary Dou Zongs have no way to deal with him. Damn it!"
Han Feng's eyes were uncertain, his expression was extremely ugly, and a murderous aura was faintly emerging around him. The cold aura instantly spread throughout the entire bamboo building, leaving the people in the bamboo building somewhat confused.
Unable to comprehend why Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor who usually maintained a composed demeanor and never showed his emotions, would suddenly lose his composure after hearing the information from the Old Demon Gu Fen,
Han Feng paced back and forth in the bamboo building, his expression cold.
"No! I've already sacrificed far too much for the Burning Technique! For it, I even joined forces with the Soul Palace, becoming a traitor to my master and ancestors, and was even investigated by Venerable Feng, forced to flee Central Continent and come to this godforsaken place! Now you want me to give up like this? I'm not willing!"
Han Feng's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, like a hysterical little beast, utterly frantic yet utterly helpless.
"Since these people from the Black Corner Region are useless and can't withstand the Ancient Demon Burning, then we can only join forces with those poison-wielding guys from the Chu Yun Empire!
Those people from the Chu Yun Empire have turned themselves into something inhuman and ghostly through their poison-making. No alchemist would go to that country. If I were to ask, they might very well agree to cooperate. However, their strength is too great and uncontrollable. Cooperating with them would be like asking a tiger for its skin. But we can't worry about that now! Burning Fire Technique! It will definitely be mine!"
A fierce light flashed in Han Feng's eyes. Burning Fire had long been an obsession in his heart, and he was determined to get it!
Having made up his mind, Han Feng calmed himself down, his imposing aura subsided, and he regained his previous composure, saying,
"Hehe, everyone, just now I heard Sect Master Fan describe the Old Demon Gu Fen as resembling one of my enemies, so I lost my composure a bit. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Everyone understood immediately, and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes. If the Old Demon Gu Fen had a grudge against Han Feng, then with this sixth-grade alchemist who was about to break through to the seventh grade joining them, they might actually be able to destroy the Gu Fen Sect.
Before anyone could speak, Han Feng continued,
"If this Ancient Burning Demon is truly the person I know, we alone cannot possibly defeat her." A burly
man with a bushy beard named Fan Lao asked doubtfully,
"I've heard that the Medicine Emperor is acquainted with the Golden and Silver Elders. Both are at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, and together they can rival a Dou Zong. With the two of them and everyone here, how could they not defeat Ancient Burning Demon? Moreover, Medicine Emperor, you are not only at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, but you also possess a different kind of fire, enough to fight even a Dou Zong."
Han Feng shook his head, saying,
"Didn't several high-level Dou Huangs go together to besiege Ancient Burning Demon before? She was only a newly entered Dou Huang then, and what happened?
Now she's suspected to be a Dou Zong. Are you sure we, several Dou Huangs comparable to Dou Zong, aren't going to our deaths?"
Upon hearing Han Feng's analysis, everyone's faces instantly darkened. Fan Lao said grimly,
"So we're just going to watch Ancient Burning Demon wreak havoc in the Black Corner Region, wash our throats, and wait at home for her to come and slaughter our sects someday?"
"Of course not. I will seek the help of experts in the next few days. You all should consolidate your territory and avoid further conflict with that Old Demon Gu Fen. Once our helper arrives, we will kill that Old Demon Gu Fen in one fell swoop to ensure everything goes smoothly,"
Han Feng said with a smile and a shake of his head. He seemed confident of victory. Although the Dou Huangs of the Black Corner Region were not very useful, and Han Feng was already planning to win over experts from the Cloud Empire, they would still be a source of assistance.
When dealing with someone who possesses the Burning Technique, has superb strength, and is ruthless, no amount of caution is excessive. If you don't act, you don't act at all; if you do, you must go all out and leave no room for retreat!
Upon hearing Han Feng's words, everyone suddenly understood and was overjoyed. They naturally knew how terrifying the influence of a sixth-grade peak alchemist was, and their hearts were much more at ease. They were no longer afraid of the Old Demon Gu Fen and quickly spoke up.
"With the Medicine Emperor so easily summoning powerful figures, it seems that Old Demon Gu Fen is doomed this time."
"Indeed, although Old Demon Gu Fen is strong, he is ultimately alone, and his Gu Fen Sect is not a force to be reckoned with."
"Since the Medicine Emperor has spoken, we can rest assured. I will return to my sect and await news from the Medicine Emperor."
"I will also take my leave now."
Watching the departing crowd, Han Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression unreadable. However, beneath his exquisitely elegant robes, his clenched fists trembled uncontrollably, revealing that his inner turmoil was not as calm as it appeared. "
Han Beng!"
Han Feng suddenly called out in a deep voice. As
soon as his voice fell, a ghostly figure flashed out, appearing inside the bamboo house. The figure knelt on one knee and respectfully said,
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Take this jade slip and deliver it..."
Han Feng casually tossed out a jade slip, about to throw it to Han Beng on the ground, but then stopped. After a moment of contemplation, he put the jade slip away.
"Never mind, you can go now. I'll go myself."
Han Beng was somewhat confused, but quickly replied,
"Yes, Master."
Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the bamboo house.
Seeing this, Han Feng's figure also became ethereal, slowly vanishing into the bamboo forest. In an instant, the once noisy bamboo forest returned to its usual tranquility.
...
Black Seal City,
a massive city built from stacked black boulders, belongs to the colossal Eight Gates, a powerful force in the Black Horn Region. It's also the economic hub of the surrounding area, bustling with activity, teeming with people.
At this moment, three dark figures appeared in the sky above the city gates of this enormous black city. Each was completely shrouded in black robes, their auras subtly leaking out, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.
Anyone who noticed these three would be utterly astonished. Because these three didn't use their Battle Qi Wings in the void, it proved that they were all Dou Zong level experts. It should be noted that
the strongest person in the Black Horn Region, as it is known, is only at the peak of the Dou Huang level. The appearance of three Dou Zong level experts at once is truly shocking.
These three were none other than Hun Changqing and his companions, who had come from the Black Horn Plains towards the Black Horn Region.
Looking at the bustling city below, Hun Changqing instructed Hai Bodong to go and investigate the city, to inquire about what had happened in the Black Horn Region in recent years.
"Yes, sir."
Hai Bodong nodded upon hearing this, and with a flash, transformed into a streak of blue light, heading towards the city below.
