Before the Battle

However, the atmosphere in the council hall was slightly cheerful at this moment, and this cheerful atmosphere all came from Han Feng, who was sitting on the Head Seat and looked slightly excited.

"Everyone!" After everyone had arrived, Han Feng stood up from his seat, scanned the crowd in the hall, and said calmly, "I'm sure you all know that I invited you here today! The Azure Green Emperor Pavilion, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere, has begun to recruit some independent cultivators, and now it has extended its reach into the Green Emperor Pavilion of Medicinal Herb, auctions, and Medicinal Pill. These are all your lifelines."

"The Green Emperor Pavilion hasn't established itself yet, so it hasn't shown its fangs, but it dares to so arrogantly extend its reach into everyone's money-making territory. Once it's established, it might dominate the entire Black-Corner Region! At that time, we might only be able to look up to them and pick up their leftovers!"

They were well aware of Han Feng's words. This was originally the company's business before the merger. At most, they added the business of selling Medicinal Pill. Apart from affecting the Black Emperor Sect and offending the Blood Sect, it didn't have much impact on them. But they didn't care what he said.

They only cared about their own interests. Now that Han Feng was able to unite everyone to divide up the Green Emperor Pavilion and bring huge benefits to themselves, they were naturally happy to get a share.

"I think no one wants to have a Supreme Sovereign above them!" Han Feng scanned the entire room, his voice slightly sinister.

No one present responded to Han Feng's words.

Those who have established their own power in the Black-Corner Region and cultivated to their current level are not easily swayed by a few words. Everyone present is the type to act only after seeing a clear benefit.

Compared to what Han Feng said, they cared more about what they could get.

The Earth Demon Old Ghost and the Eagle Mountain Elder glanced at Han Feng, a hint of mockery flashing in their eyes. They really had it tough on this guy Han Feng...

Seeing that none of the seasoned veterans present were moved, Han Feng gritted his teeth and had no choice but to reveal his trump card and make the biggest concession, saying:

"In addition to the three Dou Zong present this time, I have also invited two more Dou Zong. Together with myself and Gold and Silver Elders, we have a total of six combatants comparable to the Dou Zong level."

"For this operation, I only want the Heavenly Flames in Zhang San's possession. The Green Emperor Pavilion's assets are all yours, and all the spoils of war are yours. If those few Dou Zong and Dou Emperor women survive, they can also be yours. In addition, I can give each of you here a Sect-Breaking Pill and a promise to refine Medicinal Pill once!"

Upon hearing Han Feng's promise of tangible benefits, the people present finally showed expressions of satisfaction.

Of the group present, apart from Han Feng's dog, no one believed Han Feng's words.

They only believed what they had in their hands, but since Han Feng had made a promise in front of so many people, they weren't afraid that Han Feng would go back on his word after the operation was completed.

They not only coveted the properties of the Green Emperor Pavilion, but also the Medicinal Pill and Storage Ring in Lin Qing's possession, as well as the outstanding women of the Green Emperor Pavilion, who could be used to produce excellent offspring.

"Then let's do as Mr. Han says!"

A figure stepped forward and spoke.

Hearing this person's words, although everyone knew that this was a plant hired by Han Feng, they didn't expose it, since they all had the same goal.

Several days later, after several days of flying, Lin Qing arrived in Qinghuang City.

After breaking through to the Dou Emperor, Lin Qing no longer needed to be as cautious as before; he dared to fly directly over the Black-Corner Region.

Lin Qing entered the Black-Corner Region, the Qinghuang City.

The chaotic Black Seal City has disappeared, replaced by the clean and orderly Qinghuang City. With the promulgation of new laws, the streets of Qinghuang City are no longer filled with the bloodshed of the past, but instead are patrolled by squads of armored soldiers.

Qinghuang City is now undoubtedly the safest and most orderly city besides Jia Nan Academy, and it has already taken on the appearance of a righteous force.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Qing's eyes, and he couldn't help but nod in approval at the girls' efforts.

Li Qingchan and the others may not be the best at governance, but they were all geniuses and leaders in their original world sects, so they were capable of governing a region. Besides, the Dou Qi Continent is ultimately a world that values strength, and a lack of skill can be made up for with strength.

Arriving at the former headquarters of the Eight Sects Gate, now the location of the Green Emperor Pavilion, Lin Qing presented his token and strolled into the Green Emperor Pavilion.

"You've come!"

Upon seeing Lin Qing's arrival, Li Qingchan came forward to greet him.

"Is there any other information?"

Lin Qing sat down on the sofa and asked.

"All we know is that Han Feng is troubling them, but the specifics aren't entirely clear. After all, this isn't a war; it's a contest of high-level combat power!"

"Then let's wait and see! No matter how many people they bring, we'll wipe them out this time. Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to try and extort us." A cold glint flashed in Lin Qing's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingchan asked directly:

"After this, should we annex them?"

"No need! They're a bit far away, we can just raid their base. We can expand outwards as needed!"

After Lin Qing returned to Qinghuang City, he and Li Qingchan and others quickly formulated a plan.

First: disperse the city's residents to minimize the number of deaths.

He wasn't afraid of Han Feng and his ilk, but he was afraid of his territory being destroyed. If the residents he was protecting were affected in large numbers because of the war, it would be troublesome, since he considered this place his territory.

Second: Everything remains the same as before, but all those above the rank of Dou Wang are staying in the city to prepare for a surprise attack by Han Feng and his group.

Third: Spread the word that he has returned to the Green Emperor Pavilion, so that they will come to visit him as soon as possible.

Because of Lin Qing and the others' deliberate exposure, Han Feng, who was far away in Feng City, naturally learned that Zhang San had returned to Qinghuang City.

This delighted Han Feng, who had been waiting for an opportunity, completely unaware that it was a trap—a trap aimed at him and those who wanted to take advantage of the Green Emperor Pavilion.

"Han Beng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure quietly knelt on the ground in front of Han Feng.

"What are your orders, Master?"

"Go and invite those people we agreed to meet earlier," Han Feng ordered calmly.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the figure respectfully responded, then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Zhang San, I hope the Heavenly Flames you possess won't disappoint me!"

Han Feng walked to the window, looked in the direction of Qinghuang City, and gently exhaled to calm his excited heart.

"Hehehe! Han Feng, the souls of Zhang San and the others around him can only belong to my Soul Hall!"

Behind Han Feng, a strange black aura suddenly emerged, eventually forming a black mist from which a sinister laugh echoed.

"Hehe, of course I won't forget! But that Heavenly Flames is mine..."
