Encircling Han Feng!

After handing Nine Heavens Pavilion over to Han Yue, Fa Wutian went to Zi Yan and told her that he intended to leave.

"What? Big Brother, you're leaving? Then what am I supposed to do? If you leave, won't I have to go back to gnawing on medicinal herbs like before?"

Thinking of the bitter taste of medicinal herbs, Zi Yan immediately shook her head and coquettishly pleaded with Fa Wutian, "Big Brother, can't you stay~?"

"No. I can't remain here forever! There are things I have to do! Besides, I promised to help you return to your own clan. Without enough strength, how could I help you?"

"Ah? So that's how it is?"

Hearing this, Zi Yan clearly became dejected.

However, she quickly came up with a solution.

"Big Brother, why don't you take me with you? That way, I won't have to eat those awful medicinal herbs!"

Hearing that, Fa Wutian fell into thought.

Taking Zi Yan with him was not impossible! After all, her strength was not weak.

At certain times, she could still be of some use!

But if he took her away, would Su Qian agree?

"Zi Yan, if you come with me, will the Grand Elder agree?"

"Him? He should agree, right? Big Brother, wait for me. I'll go ask him!"

With that, Zi Yan slipped into the void beside her and went to find Su Qian.

Seeing this, Fa Wutian was full of envy.

"As expected of a Void Ancient Dragon! She can already wield the power of space before even advancing to the Battle Ancestor realm! When will I be able to move freely through the void like Zi Yan?"

After sighing with emotion, Fa Wutian waited for a while before seeing Zi Yan run back, brimming with joy.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, he agreed to let me go with you!"

Fa Wutian was somewhat stunned upon hearing that.

What did Su Qian mean by this? He was actually willing to let Zi Yan leave with him? Wasn't he afraid that Fa Wutian would run off with her?

In truth, Su Qian was not unconcerned about Zi Yan. On the contrary, he cared deeply for her.

After all, Zi Yan had been raised by him personally!

It was just that Zi Yan had told him that if he refused, she would destroy every medicinal herb in the herb storehouse!

After all, once Fa Wutian left, she would have to return to the life she had before!

Thus, for the sake of delicious pills, she was willing to threaten Su Qian just to leave with Fa Wutian!

Therefore, in order to protect the academy's interests, Su Qian had no choice but to agree to this little ancestor's request!

Moreover, even if Zi Yan had not threatened him, he would still have agreed.

After all, he also hoped Zi Yan could go out and wander around, causing a little less trouble for the academy!

Now that the opportunity was right before him, how could he refuse?

Besides, Fa Wutian would be accompanying her on this journey, so he could rest completely assured!

"Big Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Fa Wutian remain silent, Zi Yan was somewhat puzzled.

Only then did Fa Wutian snap out of it. Smiling, he said, "I'm fine! I was just curious why the Grand Elder agreed to let you come with me. But since he agreed, let's go!"

"Mm! Big Brother, where are we going first? Are we going back to your home?"

Hearing Zi Yan's question, Fa Wutian looked toward the Black-Corner Region and slowly said, "No! Before we return, we'll deal with someone first!"

"Deal with someone?"

Although Zi Yan did not know whom Fa Wutian wanted to kill, she knew that anyone who was Fa Wutian's enemy was also her enemy!

Thus, Zi Yan said without hesitation, "Big Brother, who provoked you? I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

"Good, let's go!"

Afterward, the two flew toward the Black-Corner Region.

Black-Corner Region, Feng City.

"What?! Are you sure the person you captured is Soul-Awl Killing God?"

Facing Han Feng's questioning, Ouyang Feng calmly explained, "How would I dare deceive you, Lord Medicine Emperor? Three days ago, my group happened to encounter him. So we captured him in order to claim a reward from you, Lord Medicine Emperor!"

Han Feng asked suspiciously, "Soul-Awl Killing God possesses soul attacks. How did you capture him?"

"Lord Medicine Emperor, please see clearly! Though I may be foolish, I am still a Fifth-Rank Alchemist! Everyone knows that no one's soul power is stronger than an alchemist's. In addition, I am also a Dou King, which was why I was lucky enough to capture him!"

Upon hearing that Ouyang Feng was a Dou King who was also a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, Han Feng immediately became interested.

"I truly couldn't tell that you were a Dou King and a Fifth-Rank Alchemist! I have always respected alchemists. Would you be interested in joining my Feng City? Rest assured! As long as you join, I will definitely help you advance to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist! By then, your status will be equal to mine!"

Hearing Han Feng's invitation, Ouyang Feng shook his head. "Lord Medicine Emperor, please forgive me! I have grown accustomed to a life of leisure and freedom. I'm afraid I must disappoint you and decline your kind offer!"

"What a pity! Talents like you are truly rare!"

Ouyang Feng's refusal filled Han Feng with regret!

At the same time, it also stirred his killing intent!

After all, if such a talent could not be used by him, then he had to be destroyed!

Otherwise, one day, he would surely threaten Han Feng's position!

Based on Han Feng's discernment and experience, this Ouyang Feng would definitely be able to advance to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!

If he did not eliminate him, he would undoubtedly become an enormous threat in the future!

After all, the Black-Corner Region was remote. If there were too many Sixth-Rank Alchemists, they would no longer be valuable!

Thinking of this, a cold curve appeared at the corner of Han Feng's lips, and he had already made his decision!

However, the urgent matter at hand was to first obtain Soul-Awl Killing God's soul technique!

"May I ask, where have you taken Soul-Awl Killing God? Where is he now?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Medicine Emperor! Soul-Awl Killing God is unharmed! My companion is guarding him in a valley. I doubt he can escape!"

"Why didn't you bring him here?"

Ouyang Feng smiled upon hearing that.

"Lord Medicine Emperor, you must be joking! This is the Black-Corner Region! If we simply brought him here, would you still honor the deal? So I must trouble you to make the trip personally! That way, we can feel more at ease as well!"

Hearing this, Han Feng fell silent for a moment before agreeing.

"Fine, I'll go with you."

However, to be safe, he still brought along the two remaining Dou Kings in Feng City.

After arriving at the valley Ouyang Feng had mentioned, Han Feng indeed saw a person wearing a bizarre mask, bound beside a petite little girl.

Seeing this, Han Feng was overjoyed. After handing the reward to Ouyang Feng, he signaled his men to seize the person.

But just as that Dou King was about to touch Fa Wutian, Zi Yan instantly killed him!

Han Feng was startled as well and immediately demanded, "Sir, what is the meaning of this?"

However, the only response he received was a fierce attack!

Yet this attack was not aimed at him. Instead, it struck the Dou King subordinate beside him!

Caught completely off guard, that Dou King was instantly severely injured and directly knocked unconscious!

Han Feng's expression changed slightly at the sight.

He knew this was a trap set by the other side! Their purpose was to encircle and kill him!
