Medicine Emperor Han Feng

After all, even though he now possessed

cultivation talent comparable to that of the top geniuses of the Dou Qi Continent who lacked bloodline power,

without matching resources,

his cultivation speed could never truly rise!

Therefore, even if Heavenly Snake Manor had not come looking for him this time,

Hai Bodong would sooner or later have made a move against one,

or even several forces similar to Heavenly Snake Manor.

Around three months later,

with the resources of Heavenly Snake Manor and Old Yao's pills,

Hai Bodong's cultivation speed had soared,

and he had already attained

four-star Dou Zong cultivation.

During his spare time over those three months,

in order to swiftly consolidate... Qing Lin's rule throughout Heavenly Snake Manor and even the Heavenly Snake Empire,

Hai Bodong had also selectively targeted several

second-rate forces that dared oppose Heavenly Snake Manor

and violently suppressed them.

Of course, for those who knew their place,

Hai Bodong did not mind recruiting them appropriately.

After all, only by strengthening the forces under his command could they better supply the resources he needed for cultivation.

After Hai Bodong felt that his

work of subjugation was more or less complete,

under Old Yao's urging, he led a Heavenly Snake Manor contingent guarded by several Dou Huang elders

and immediately set out for the Black Corner Region.

After all, after learning from the manor lord of Heavenly Snake Manor about that traitorous disciple, Medicine Emperor Han Feng,

Old Yao, having finished refining two Sovereign Extreme Pills, had already been unable to restrain himself from immediately heading to the Black Corner Region to deal with that beast.

After Hai Bodong briefly handled

Heavenly Snake Manor's related affairs,

he set off at Old Yao's urging.

Several days later,

Hai Bodong's group arrived at

Maple City, located in the central region of the Black Corner Region.

It was said that because this place was

the territory of Medicine Emperor Han Feng, a Peak Sixth Grade Alchemist,

quite a few

alchemists from around the Black Corner Region had gathered here out of admiration.

Although living in Maple City,

they were often exploited by Han Feng, the city lord,

and his pack of lackeys,

because they had Medicine Emperor Han Feng's protection,

these underpowered alchemists

would not be reduced to the alchemy tools of certain powerful figures in the lawless Black Corner Region.

After all, with the support of the Heavenly Flame Sea Heart Flame, Han Feng's own strength was not weak.

Furthermore, through the blood-refining method, he was a high-level alchemist capable of refining even ordinary seventh-grade pills.

Thus, in the Black Corner Region,

even ordinary Dou Zong Experts

would not provoke him without cause.

Of course, in Hai Bodong's current eyes,

Han Feng, that beast who had betrayed his master and forsaken his ancestors, was nothing more than an insect he could crush at will.

After Hai Bodong's group

arrived at Han Feng's residence,

he did not hesitate much.

He directly sent several

Dou Huang elders of Heavenly Snake Manor under his command

to shout loudly from the air at the Han Manor below:

"Han Feng, you old dog! Today, Heavenly Snake Manor's Supreme Elder, Lord Hai Bodong, has honored you with his presence!"

"Why haven't you hurried over to pay your respects?!"

The moment the words fell,

the pressure of those high-level Dou Huang elders

was unleashed directly over the entire Han Manor.

At that moment, Han Feng was still studying

how to obtain a new Heavenly Flame.

After hearing the curses outside,

he was first stunned, then clearly... sensed several auras of pressure from high-level Dou Huangs.

After hearing that the visitors were from Heavenly Snake Manor,

Han Feng immediately did not dare linger any longer.

He hurriedly circulated his Dou Qi and burst through the door.

In less than a moment, Han Feng appeared within

Hai Bodong's group's line of sight.

Just as he was about to approach Hai Bodong further,

he suddenly felt a powerful Dou Zong-level pressure descend directly upon him.

Then, like a dog,

Han Feng was forced flat onto the ground

by the concentrated Dou Qi pressure Hai Bodong imposed upon him.

After Han Feng clearly sensed the immense disparity in their raw strength,

he was so terrified by the Dou Qi pressure released by Hai Bodong that he did not dare move in the slightest.

Therefore, after only briefly considering the matter, he continued kneeling on the ground and begged Hai Bodong for mercy:

"My lord from Heavenly Snake Manor, may I ask what business you have with this lowly one?"

"This lowly one's life is worthless and not worth regretting!"

"But if my death!"

"Wastes your precious time, my lord,"

"that would be an unforgivable offense! I beg you, my lord, please spare this lowly one's life for now!"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong suddenly felt

like toying with Han Feng for a while.

Thus, he spoke indifferently to Han Feng:

"Rest assured. I have come this time only for the Heavenly Flame Sea Heart Flame in your possession."

"If you know what is good for you..."

"I can spare your life for now."

"Otherwise, you will die right now."

Upon hearing that Hai Bodong wanted to take the Sea Heart Flame from within him, a surge of fury immediately rose in Han Feng's heart.

He was not someone

who liked to recklessly entrust

his life and everything he possessed

to whatever mercy an enemy might have.

Therefore, he no longer hesitated.

He immediately shouted loudly in a hidden direction:

"Protector Xuan, if I die, you won't escape either!"

"What are you still hesitating for?"

"Get out here and save me!"

Before his words had even finished, the crafty Han Feng

immediately unfurled his Dou Qi Wings

and rushed toward Protector Xuan's hiding place!

"Han Feng! You are truly shameless!"

At that moment, inside Han Feng's residence,

a pitch-black Soul Body suddenly appeared,

wearing strange armor

and possessing strength roughly equivalent to a three-star Dou Zong.

"Heh heh! I remember that your Heavenly Snake Manor only had a manor lord at the peak Dou Zong level, didn't it?"

"How did a Supreme Elder like you, with the strength of a four-star Dou Zong, suddenly appear?"

"You said your name was Hai Bodong! That seems to be the name of some insignificant Dou Huang from the Jia Ma Empire, doesn't it?"

Hai Bodong had no intention

of responding to the questions of this so-called Protector Xuan.

During the gap while the other party was speaking,

Hai Bodong directly activated

the Seventh Divine Blood Realm, which he had already mastered,

and combined it with his own Dou Qi!

He launched an incomparably violent attack at this so-called Protector Xuan of the Hall of Souls!

The instant Hai Bodong's blood-red energy

made contact with Protector Xuan's Soul Body,

the latter let out a heart-rending scream!

"Ah...! I am... a Protector of the Hall of Souls!"

"You... what do you... take me for?!"

"Trash."

Hai Bodong casually remarked,

then placed the Soul Body of Protector Xuan of the Hall of Souls,

which had already been ground half to death

by his Divine Blood particles,

into his Ice Spirit Storage Ring.

Afterward, Hai Bodong calmly glanced at

Han Feng, who was frantically fleeing in the distance.

Without any intention of wasting more words on him, he directly unleashed Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar!

He then placed Han Feng's corpse, which he had already killed, along with the man's exceptionally evil Soul Body,

into his Ice Spirit Storage Ring.

Next, Hai Bodong used his soul power to erase the spiritual imprint Han Feng had left on the Nethersea Storage Ring.

After inspecting the treasures within, even though Hai Bodong now commanded all the resources of Heavenly Snake Manor,

he was extremely satisfied with this haul.

After all, it contained

most of the collections his teacher, Venerable Yao, Old Yao,

had possessed while alive.

There were countless seventh-grade pill formulas within, and even quite a few eighth-grade pill formulas that had nearly vanished from the Northwest Continent.

Of course, the most valuable items among them

were the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and the Heavenly Flame Sea Heart Flame

that Han Feng had so generously contributed.
