Storms on the Horizon
Just as Lin Qing had guessed, Han Feng discovered his identity as a high-level Alchemist through the high-level Medicinal Pill such as the Dou Spirit Pill and Imperial Extreme Pill produced by the Green Emperor Pavilion, and also found traces of Heavenly Flames in the Medicinal Pill he refined.
So this time he gathered together forces such as the Black Emperor Sect, the Blood Sect, the Gold and Silver Elders, the Eagle Mountain Elder, and the Demon Flame Valley.
Their target was the Green Emperor Pavilion, or rather, the Heavenly Flames within him.
Lin Qing had originally planned to find a way to lure them all out!
As a result, he was just getting sleepy when this happened, so he didn't feel any guilt about attacking them. Unfortunately, not many forces were involved. The Rakshasa Gate and the Beast Taming Sect, which were close to the Green Emperor Pavilion, didn't join forces with them, but instead sent them information.
Whether they are watching the fight from the sidelines or hoping to profit from the conflict, he will not touch them this time. As long as they behave themselves in the future, he will be happy to do business with them.
There are only a few forces at the Dou Emperor level, it would be a pity to destroy them, but it would be good to leave them as a buffer zone.
This time, he planned to leave Cailin in the Inner Academy. Together with the academy's newly promoted Dou Zong, they would be enough to protect the academy's safety.
It wasn't that he was being overly cautious, but rather that the Thousand-Hundred Elders guarding the Scripture Pavilion rarely intervened, and even if enemies attacked the Inner Academy, they might not necessarily make a move. In case Han Feng launched a feint, Xiao Yi Xian and the others would still be safe.
If they hadn't been so passive, he would have exchanged the Venerable-Breaking Pill with them long ago. But they just kept lying down, clearly having the ability to resolve the threat but not taking action, always wanting Elder Su Qian and the others to handle it.
Since that's the case, Lin Qing decided to ignore them and let them hone their skills and break through to the next level as before.
He can go to the Black-Corner Region alone, but it's uncertain whether anyone from the Soul Hall will appear this time.
However, he possesses the strength of One-Star Dou Emperor, a soul at the Spirit Realm Perfection, a physical body approaching that of Dou Venerable, several Dou Techniques, and the blessing of the Spatial Ancestral Talisman. As long as it's not an Elder Venerable Elder who comes, he is confident he can annihilate them all.
More than anything else, Lin Qing was looking forward to the spoils of war. Han Feng and his gang were all very wealthy, and if they could wipe them all out...
Not only can it establish its authority and make the Green Emperor Pavilion the uncrowned king of the Black-Corner Region, but it can also use the spoils of this battle to boost its strength.
Meanwhile, in the Black-Corner Region, in Feng City.
Feng City is located outside the Inner Academy's continuous mountain range. The city is not large, but it holds a pivotal position in the Black-Corner Region. The reason for this is simply that Medicine Emperor Han Feng of the Black-Corner Region, resides here.
Han Feng, once the number one alchemist in the Black-Corner Region and a Seventh-Grade Alchemist, has seen his cultivation decline due to his switch to the Flame Mantra. Now, he is somewhat unable to refine Seventh-Grade Pill, so he is only a Sixth-Grade Alchemist on the surface.
Even though he was only Sixth-Grade Alchemist, he still held a high position in the hearts of many forces and even powerful figures. Of course, a Sixth-Grade Alchemist was not uncommon on the continent, but a Sixth-Grade Alchemist with Heavenly Flames was rare and his future was promising.
The barrenness of the Northwest Continent is what makes him so distinguished, and he is regarded as an honored guest by countless surrounding forces.
However, nothing compares to his former status. He once had a bright future, the number one Alchemist on the continent, and a disciple of the Nine Revolutions Dou Venerable Yao.
Because of his betrayal of his master and ancestors, and in order to evade the pursuit of Yao Chen's friends and lover, he had no choice but to leave the Central Plains, where the energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and come to this remote Black-Corner Region.
In fact, if he hadn't betrayed his master and ancestors, given how much Yao Chen valued him, it would have been easy for him to obtain a Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique, and it would have been possible for him to be promoted to Dou Sheng.
He's probably already High-Rank Dou Zong or Dou Venerable by now.
However, Han Feng became obsessed with cultivating the Flame Mantra. Yao Chen believed that cultivating the Flame Mantra was risky, and he could get a Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique for his disciple. So, he treated Han Feng like a son, but his disciple betrayed him in collusion with the Soul Hall.
Later, in order to revive and seek revenge, he passed on the Flame Mantra Technique to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's eventual rise to emperor was also inextricably linked to the Flame Mantra. In the end, Yao Chen even became the Grand Elder of the Endless Fire Domain, a powerful expert at the peak of the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.
It's true that both defeat and Flame Mantra came from Flame Mantra.
It must be said that Han Feng's feeling about cultivating the Flame Mantra was correct, but unfortunately he didn't have the destiny for it. He might have had the luck, but he wasn't the chosen one.
However, Han Feng still believed he had a bright future.
Feng City, this city is named after Han Feng. In the Black-Corner Region, which is filled with chaos and killing, only a handful of people can enjoy this honor, and Han Feng is one of them!
In the very center of the city, on that vast expanse of land, stands a magnificent manor, its imposing and domineering presence unmatched by any other building in the city.
Of course, as the residence of Medicine Emperor Han Feng, no one in the city dared to surpass him.
In a very spacious hall within the manor, many figures sat, and the person seated at the head of the highest position was none other than the current Medicine Emperor Han Feng.
The entire hall was packed. Most of those who could sit here were powerful figures and forces with considerable reputations in the Black-Corner Region. In such a place where strength is paramount, even the seats were allocated based on strength.
Seeing so many powerful figures under his command, he felt he was at the pinnacle of his life, making all the hardships he had endured worthwhile. This time, he was determined to eliminate Lin Qing, this suddenly emerging competitor.
He wanted people to know that his position as the Medicine Emperor was not something anyone could wield, and that one Medicine Emperor was enough for the Black-Corner Region.
Of course, his main goal was to seize the other party's Heavenly Flames and then evolve half of the Cultivation Technique, as only in this way could he break through to the Dou Zong.
After dealing with Lin Qing, he will then acquire the Heavenly Flames from the Jia Nan Academy. At that time, he can roam freely throughout the vast world.
What he didn't know was that Lin Qing also saw him as prey.
Of course, Han Feng wouldn't care too much even if he knew. Right now, he felt like a certain principal that with four Dou Zong against four Dou Zong, plus several Dou Emperors and two Protector from the Soul Hall, the advantage was on his side.
What he didn't know was that the other side's Dou Zong were capable of fighting beyond their level, and there was also a Nine Star Dou Zong with outstanding spatial abilities, as well as a Dou Emperor equivalent to Dou Venerable.
At this moment, on either side of Han Feng were the veteran Dou Zong powerhouses Eagle Mountain Elder and Earth Demon Old Ghost, and below them were Mo Tianxing and the Gold and Silver Elders.
Below them are the forces represented by some of the powerful figures on the Black Ranking. Any one of the leaders of these forces is a powerful figure whose every stomp of his foot would cause the entire Black-Corner Region to tremble. However, in this setting, these powerful figures can only sit at the lower level. One can imagine how powerful the powerful figures who have come this time are, and one can also imagine how powerful the enemies they will face are.
