Maple City

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations on making Yao Tianhuo Zi Yan's servant, which overturned the original storyline. Reward: 78 Attribute Points points."

Maple City is a very famous city in the Black-Corner Region!

More than twenty years ago, Maple City was not actually called Maple City. Ever since a Douhuang-level alchemist seized the position of city lord, the city has been called Maple City!

The alchemist who seized the position of city lord was Han Feng!

In the sky above Maple City, two long rainbows, one golden and one purple, pierced the void and crossed the city gate, causing the soldiers below the gate to shout and yell at them!

"Flying is prohibited within Maple City! Land immediately on the ground, or you will be executed!"

The purple and gold rainbow ignored the city guards and went straight to the sky above the city lord's mansion in Maple City!

The commotion in the sky startled everyone inside the city lord's mansion, including a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was quite handsome, appearing to be only around thirty years old. His slightly thin lips were tightly pursed, giving him a cold and stern look. However, it was precisely this that added to his unique charm.

Her long black hair hangs down to her shoulders, and her body seems to carry a strange medicinal fragrance all the time, which makes people feel close to her. There is a simple medicinal cauldron badge painted on the chest of the blue alchemist's robe. There are six golden patterns on the medicinal cauldron, symbolizing his rank as a sixth-grade alchemist. On the back of the robe, there is an extremely finely crafted Chinese character "MAPLE".

He is Han Feng, the city lord of Maple City.

"Void Ancient Dragon! Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

Han Feng blurted it out.

Two enormous figures, one purple and one red, were in the sky: the Void Ancient Dragon Zi Yan and the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King!

The heat emanating from the Amethyst Winged Lion King raised the air temperature by several degrees Celsius. As Void Ancient Dragon, Zi Yan's mere aura made most people on the ground feel suffocated.

"Seventh rank, eighth rank!"

Han Feng frowned deeply.

The aura emanating from the Amethyst Winged Lion King allowed Han Feng to determine that it had definitely reached the seventh rank. As for the Void Ancient Dragon, he sensed that its aura was even stronger than the Amethyst Winged Lion King's. He guessed that it must have reached the eighth rank! One was comparable to Dou Zong realm expert, and the other was comparable to Dou Zun realm expert!

Han Feng, on the other hand, was at the peak of the Dou Huang realm. Possessing the Sea Heart Flame, he could barely fight against a low-level Dou Zong. Han Feng also noticed that two humans were riding on the backs of the two magical beasts in the sky! Those capable of riding seventh and eighth-tier magical beasts were no ordinary people.

"Could they be from one of the eight ancient clans?"

Han Feng denied this conjecture.

Even the geniuses of the eight strongest ancient clans in the Central Continent could not make the proud Void Ancient Dragon, ranked first on the monster list, their mount.

Han Feng felt a sense of apprehension and dared not be negligent. He clasped his hands and asked, "Who are you? I am Han Feng, the Pill Emperor. I am honored to have you in Maple City. I apologize for not being able to welcome you properly and hope you will forgive me!"

Han Feng's words gave Ye Feng and Ya Fei a lot of face! In order to make Ye Feng more cautious, Han Feng took the initiative to reveal his identity as the Pill Emperor!

"Hand over the Heavenly Flames, and I'll spare your life!"

"Heavenly Flames?"

Han Feng frowned. "The Heavenly Flames is a treasure I obtained with tremendous effort. How can I just give it away like that!"

"You have the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to consider. In five seconds, I will have my mount personally take away the Heavenly Flames."

"I am the Pill Emperor, a sixth-grade alchemist." Han Feng, unwilling to relinquish the Heavenly Flames, threatened Ye Feng, "Although I am only a Dou Huang in cultivation, I have many friends in the Central Continent. Perhaps, you even know my friends!"

"So what if I'm a sixth-grade alchemist? I'm still a tenth-grade alchemist!" Ye Feng glanced at Han Feng with disdain.

"What?! Tenth-grade alchemists! There aren't even any in the Central Plains who can be tenth-grade alchemists." Han Feng looked up at Ye Feng with disbelief. "Those three old guys in the Pill Tower are only eighth-grade alchemists. Tenth-grade alchemists need to have an Emperor-level soul."

Han Feng felt that Ye Feng was lying.

"Enough with the nonsense. I'm asking you, are you going to hand over the Sea Heart Flame or not?" Ye Feng asked.

Han Feng stared at Ye Feng. He still questioned Ye Feng's status as a tenth-grade alchemist. Regardless of whether Ye Feng actually possessed the strength of a tenth-grade alchemist, he sensed an aura on Ye Feng Pill Master Yao Chen.

"I'll count to three. After three, Zi Yan, you will take the Sea Heart Flame from his body!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"One"

"Take it!"

Han Feng flipped his hand over, and a cluster of...

Han Feng gazed longingly at the Sea Heart Flame Sea Heart Flame his hand. If he had a choice, he certainly wouldn't have given it up. Unfortunately, he had no choice at all. Between life and the Heavenly Flames, he could only choose life.

If you don't have the Heavenly Flames, you can still search for it. But if you lose your life, then you really have nothing left.

Han Feng looked at Ye Feng with apprehension. He sensed that Ye Feng was even more formidable than his teacher. With his eyes closed, he waved his hand, handing the Sea Heart Flame to Ye Feng. "Your Excellency, is there anything else you require?"

Han Feng only hoped to get rid of Ye Feng, this scourge, as soon as possible.

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations, you coerced Han Feng into handing over the Sea Heart Flame, thus overturning the original storyline. Reward: 3600 Attribute Points."

"Since you've been so honest, your life is spared. I'll also give you a gift," Ye Feng said.

"What gift?"

"Have you been searching for your teacher Yao Chen, all this time?"

"Do you have news of him?" Han Feng asked Ye Feng with a slightly excited expression. Seeing Ye Feng nod, he asked, "Where is he?"

"Hidden inside a black ring."

"Ring?"

"The ring's owner is Xiao Yan, from the Xiao Family of Wutan City. He enrolled in the Canaan Academy Canaan Academy and should be there now. Oh, by the way, he might be using the alias Yan Xiao!"

"Xiao Yan! Yan Xiao"

Han Feng muttered to himself, his hands clenched tightly. He was more concerned about Yao Chen's whereabouts than about the Heavenly Flames.

The Flame Mantra he secretly learned wasn't the complete version. Moreover, he was the one who killed Yao Chen. The Wind Venerable is searching the world for Yao Chen's whereabouts; if the Wind Venerable finds Yao Chen first, his situation will be dangerous.

For Han Feng, the most urgent tasks are to obtain the complete version of the Flame Mantra and to kill Yao Chen completely.

Han Feng gave a few instructions to the people around him, then left the city lord's mansion and headed towards the Inner Academy.

Han Feng's actions were observed by Ya Fei and Ye Feng, who were standing on a hilltop outside Maple City.

Ya Fei watched Han Feng's retreating figure. "He's the Pill Emperor, possessing the cultivation of a Dou Huang. If he finds Xiao Yan, wouldn't Xiao Yan be beaten to death?"

"So, things started to get interesting."

Ye Feng's lips curled slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips. He wanted to see if Xiao Yan truly possessed the protagonist's halo. Without his Heavenly Flames, how could Xiao Yan possibly contend with the Pill Emperor Han Feng?

P. S.: Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful Dragon Boat Festival with your families.
