Completely Subduing the Eight-Fan Sect and Earth Flame Sect, Han Feng and Yao Lao Meet Again (1/3) Please Follow for Updates

"Oh? You've heard of me?" Xiao Yan was a little surprised. He hadn't expected his reputation to have spread to this chaotic place, the Black-Corner Region.

Yuan Yi and Ban Lao were even more respectful than before.

"How could we not have heard of your name? You are Seventh-Rank Alchemist, and a grandmaster alchemist who can refine the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill, a pill that can enhance the cultivation of One-Star Dou Zong. In the Northwest Continent, who with any strength wouldn't know your name?" Yuan Yi lowered his head, feeling fortunate that he was so lucky to have become Xiao Yan's subordinate by chance.

Ban Lao was standing nearby, shared the same thought.

Although they were all proud and unwilling to be subordinates, if their Chief was a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, well... that wouldn't be a bad thing.

"So my reputation is this great? That's a good thing." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.

A prominent reputation means more people recognize his name, which makes it easier to recruit powerful individuals, leading to faster power development, faster resource gathering, and ultimately, quicker growth in strength.

He looked at Hai Bodong and instructed, "Elder Hai, leave the Mittel Family's portion of the personnel on the two Flying Boat in the Black-Domain Great Plains in Black-Seal City for now, and hand over the connections and channels that the Eight-Fan Sect have accumulated over the years."

"Send the other vehicle directly to take over Feng City, which is currently unattended. Understand?"

After speaking, Xiao Yan looked at Yuan Yi: "Is there a problem with my arrangement?"

Yuan Yi dared not protest, and could only shake his head with a smile, "No, no, no, of course there is no problem. Master Yan Xiao, please send someone over. I will definitely hand over all the connections and channels that my Eight-Fan Sect have accumulated over the years."

Xiao Yan nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he explained, "This decision is not about discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose."

In the future, I will also develop Feng City into a city that focuses on the auction industry, not to replace your Black Seal Auction House in Black-Seal City.

On the contrary, what I want to replace is the ecological niche of the Black Emperor Sect. As for the Black Seal Auction House, I will not interfere too much. On the contrary, I will provide you with protection, and as long as you do a good job, you will not be short of pills."

Hai Bodong, who was standing to the side, also spoke up at this moment, "Yuan Yi, don't think that Master Yan Xiao is lying to you."

You clearly sensed last time that I was Seven-Star Dou Emperor, and your perception was correct.

"The reason I've reached the Dou Zong is thanks to Master Yan Xiao Imperial Extreme Pill and the Break-Ancestor Pill, as well as a Ice Extreme Pill based on Master Yan Xiao's own formula!"

"What?!" Yuan Yi's eyes widened, and she swallowed hard in disbelief.

He still thought that Hai Bodong had intentionally concealed his cultivation level last time, and he even tried to convince himself that he had misjudged the situation last time.

It turns out, it wasn't a perceptual error; the person actually advanced to the legendary Dou Zong level in such a short time thanks to elixirs?!

"This is the true value of Seventh-Rank Alchemist..." Yuan Yi swallowed hard.

He looked at Xiao Yan and said firmly, "Yuan Yi is willing to go through Yan Xiao!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan chuckled and then flicked his finger, sending a pill into Yuan Yi's hand.

Yuan Yi was still in a daze when he took a closer look at the pill in his hand and trembled. "The Imperial Extreme Pill!"

Xiao Yan said, "This Imperial Extreme Pill is a reward for your networking and connections. I'm giving it to you in advance. Do your job well, and you won't be short of pills in the future."

Yuan Yi had no more doubts.

Faced with Xiao Yan, who was both powerful and so generous, he had only one thought in mind.

Loyalty! Loyalty! It's all about loyalty!

Standing to the side, Ban Lao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw that Yuan Yi had obtained a highly valuable Imperial Extreme Pill so easily.

He immediately stepped forward, a smile spreading across his wrinkled old face, "Master Yan Xiao, do you have any instructions for me? Our Earth Flame Sect is in no way weaker than the Eight-Fan Sect."

Xiao Yan looked at Ban Lao and remained silent for a moment.

The Earth Flame Sect? In his memory, it wasn't described much in the original work; it seemed to be just an ordinary sect.

Such a sect is not as useful to him as the Eight-Fan Sect.

After all, the channels and connections that the Eight-Fan Sect have accumulated in the Black-Corner Region are extremely useful.

It just so happens that the Mittel Family is also known in the auction industry, where they have been deeply involved for many years and have extensive experience.

With just a little help from the Eight-Fan Sect, they could quickly establish themselves in the Black-Corner Region Auction Industry.

The auction industry's resource gathering and money-making capabilities greatly helped him collect those fire-attribute Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches and Beast Flame, which indirectly greatly helped his cultivation level.

In comparison, although the Earth Flame Sect's power is slightly above the Eight Doors, and its leader, Old Man Ban, is a three-star Dou Huang stronger than Yuan Yi, a two-star Dou Huang, in terms of value, the latter is actually stronger than the former.

Seeing Xiao Yan's silence, Ban Lao knew that the Earth Flame Sect seemed less useful to Xiao Yan than the Eight-Fan Sect, and sighed inwardly.

"Let the Earth Flame Sect act as the escorts, responsible for transporting resources," Xiao Yan thought for a moment and then made the arrangement.

Upon hearing this, Ban Lao's sigh turned to joy, and he replied, "Yes, Master Yan Xiao!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand and casually gave Ban Lao a pill, but it was Dou Ling Pill, which was less valuable than the Imperial Extreme Pill.

Ban Lao accepted the pill, knowing that the Earth Flame Sect was not as valuable as the Eight-Fan Sect, and that he himself had only recently 'betrayed' them, so he was quite satisfied.

"Thank you very much, Master Yan Xiao!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand, then looked at Ling Ying and Hai Bodong: "Elder Ling, could you keep watch here for a while?"

"Elder Hai, go back to the Flying Boat and tell my elder brother what I just instructed you to do."

Ling Ying replied, "Yes."

Hai Bodong has already set off. "Okay."

Xiao Yan nodded and said to Yuan Yi, "Arrange a quiet and secluded place for me at the Black-Seal Auction House."

"Yes!" Yuan Yi replied respectfully.

Black-Seal Auction House.

A fairly spacious reception room.

Xiao Yan told Yuan Yi to leave to attend to important matters, and after Yuan Yi left, he used his Soul Power to envelop the entire room.

He looked to his side, where there was an illusory prison formed from Soul Power power, visible only to those with sufficiently high Soul Power. Within the prison, sound was also blocked by his Soul Power.

As soon as the barrier was removed, a chilling, agonizing scream erupted from within.

"Ah! Kill me! Kill me!" Han Feng cried out in agony, begging for death, his Soul Power writhing like maggots in the prison.

Xiao Yan ignored him, his gaze falling on the Bone Flame Ring on his hand, and said respectfully, "Teacher, please handle him."

The Bone Flame Ring twitched slightly, and then the Yao Lao's Soul Body floated out from it.

The Yao Lao looked at Han Feng, who was struggling in agony in the Soul Prison, his eyes filled with hatred and a trace of inexplicable heartache.

"Han Feng!" he snapped, as if trying to vent his pent-up frustration.

Inside the prison, Han Feng's Soul Body looked at Yao Lao, and when he saw Yao Lao's familiar face, an uncontrollable panic arose from the depths of his heart.

"Yao... Yao Chen! You're still alive!"
