Master and Disciple Meet

"You rascal, don't push your luck!"

After Old Man Yao proposed exchanging her Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yi Xian's impression of them had already plummeted. Now, seeing Old Man Yao so rudely using his Soul Power to pressure Xiao Ming, she immediately stood up in anger, unleashing the aura of Dou Zong, pressing down on Old Man Yao and Xiao Yan.

Facing Xiao Yi Xian, Old Man Yao was alright. Although his Soul Power was not at its peak, the quality of his soul was excellent. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was in a difficult position. The aura of Dou Zong was not something a mere Da Dou Shi like him could withstand.

Suddenly, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, and his knees buckled, causing him to kneel down.

Fortunately, the Old Man Yao noticed in time and blocked the aura emanating from Xiao Yi Xian, preventing him from being in such a sorry state.

Feeling a dull ache in his knees, Xiao Yan's expression turned quite grim.

"Does this crazy woman have to be so protective of her own?"

The Xiao Yi Xian's aura startled the others in Xiao Ming's mansion. When the maids and guards reached the outside of the hall, they could not advance an inch because of the Xiao Yi Xian's aura.

Only the Venerable Tian Huo remained unaffected, drifting in through a window.

"Xiao Yi Xian, why are you so angry? Has some unpleasant guest come knocking on your door?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw the Old Man Yao confronting Xiao Yi Xian.

Instantly, Venerable Tian Huo's Soul Power surged, attacking Old Man Yao as he spoke.

"This person is also the Soul Body of a Dou Zun Expert; he's not easy to deal with. Let's attack together."

Yao Tian Huo's face showed a hint of excitement. He was just worried about how to repay Xiao Ming, and this Soul Body came to his door. Although he could see that Yao Chen's soul was extraordinary, and that its quality was even higher than his own, he was not afraid of this Soul Body at all in Xiao Ming's mansion.

Suddenly, a Soul Body appeared and attacked him, Old Man Yao completely bewildered.

He admitted that he had gotten a little excited and spoke a bit loudly when he heard the name of the Rebellious Disciple Han Feng.

But it's really unreasonable of you to resort to violence so easily.

What should we do? Should we really fight?

At this moment, the Old Man Yao was in a dilemma. If a fight really broke out, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent in his current state.

"Old Yao, please stop."

At the critical moment, Xiao Ming spoke up in time to stop Yao Tian Huo, thus preventing Old Man Yao from being beaten.

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's voice, Yao Tian Huo could only drift back to Xiao Ming's side.

"Xian'er, sit down."

"But how dare he..."

"Xian'er, be good."

"Fine then." Xiao Yi Xian sat down, somewhat indignant.

After calming Xiao Yi Xian and Yao Tian Huo, Xiao Ming looked up at Old Man Yao and slowly said.

"Your Excellency, Venerable Yao, would really like to control your temper. It's not a good habit to casually exert pressure on a mere Dou Zong. After all, you're not the Venerable Yao you once were, are you?"

The Old Man Yao remained silent for a moment, offering no comment on the matter, but instead coldly asked...

"... Speak, what is your purpose in mentioning that Rebellious Disciple Han Feng? How did you know about my affair with him?"

"I naturally learned all this from Han Feng. He was revered as the Medicine Emperor in the Black Corner Region and had previously caused me trouble. Now I have killed him, and his soul is in this bottle. As long as you hand over to me the Body Refining Method, the High-Grade Alchemy Technique, and the Soul Cultivation Technique, I will give him to you, how about that?" Xiao Ming shook the bottle in his hand.

"I believe you also want to give this traitorous Rebellious Disciple murdered his master a good 'lesson' again, right?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, the crowd reacted in various ways.

A touch of emotion appeared in Yao Tian Huo's eyes. In his opinion, this was because Xiao Ming had always been concerned about reviving him, and his Favorability towards Xiao Ming increased rapidly.

Xiao Yan looked completely bewildered, because he couldn't understand the conditions Xiao Ming. This was because his strength level was not high enough, so Old Man Yao hadn't mentioned these things to him.

The Old Man Yao was losing control of himself again. The thought that his Rebellious Disciple was right in front of him gave him an urge to snatch the Jade Bottle from Xiao Ming's hand.

However, thinking about how they almost came to blows, Old Man Yao had no choice but to force himself to calm down.

Looking at the Jade Bottle, he slowly said:

"Among my collection, there are indeed Body Refining Method and Soul Cultivation Technique. However, the Body Refining Method is extremely difficult. The various materials and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required are extremely rare. Most importantly, it requires the combination of multiple Heavenly Flames."

"If you can help Xiao Yan grow stronger, I can decide to help the soul beside you refine a Soul Body, and I can also teach you Soul Cultivation Technique. Xiao Yan's growth will not be detrimental to your Xiao Family. What do you think?"

Good heavens, it seems Yao Chen hasn't given up on the Heavenly Flames after all.

But that's understandable, since it concerns his resurrection, how could Yao Chen give up so easily?

The Old Man Yao didn't give up, and Xiao Ming wouldn't budge. Asking him to donate blood and act as a caregiver was impossible; he felt the Old Man Yao needed a little stimulation.

With a thought, the Fallen Heart Flame surrounding the Jade Bottle in his hand vanished, and Han Feng's voice came from within.

"Xiao Ming! You've already taken everything from me, why won't you let me leave!"

"I promise you, if you let me go, I won't be your enemy. What do you say?"

As he spoke, Han Feng's Soul Body slowly rose and floated out of the Jade Bottle.

Upon seeing Han Feng, Old Man Yao's carefully maintained composure crumbled instantly, and he angrily rebuked him.

"Rebellious Disciple!"

Hearing the distant yet familiar voice, Han Feng's body stiffened. He then turned his head in terror to see the enraged Old Man Yao opposite him. After a moment, he mustered almost all his strength to utter a voice filled with extreme horror and panic. "You... you're not dead?! How is that possible?!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Man Yao recalled the scene of his death. His already illusory soul and body began to tremble violently, and his face seemed to be a mixture of sorrow and hatred. His voice was sarcastic.

"I'm not dead, are you scared?!"

If Yao Chen's biggest obsession right now is to be reborn, the first is to be reborn; the second is his Rebellious Disciple Han Feng.

He personally rescued the infant from the ruins, raised him to adulthood, taught him Alchemy Technique, and made him the most dazzling jewel in Central Plains at that time. In the end, however, he conspired with the Hall of Souls to poison him, leaving only a remnant soul to escape.

Han Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at Old Man Yao without blinking. The initial panic on his face had subsided considerably. The news that Old Man Yao was still alive was like a thunderbolt to him.

As a former disciple of Old Man Yao, he knew very well the influence Old Man Yao had on the continent back then. Even now, the true peak experts on the continent still had a deep memory of the "Venerable Yao" who once dominated the continent. Han Feng had no doubt that if word got out that Old Man Yao was still alive, how many peak experts would come to him.

Moreover, and most importantly, Old Man Yao had an excellent reputation among those top experts. For example, the so-called Venerable Feng had almost given him a second chance at life, and the two became close friends because of this. Therefore, even though Old Man Yao had been missing for many years, he was still relentlessly searching for his whereabouts. He even investigated Han Feng a few times, but because he had no evidence, he was helpless against Han Feng.

Even so, Han Feng still managed to escape from Central Plains and flee to the Black Corner Region.

Now that he's suddenly seen the Old Man Yao, he's genuinely terrified.
