Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of the fourth day, Xiao Yan stood by the window, looking at the scene in the city.
The streets were filled with powerful figures from various forces in the Black-Corner Region.
These people were dressed differently and had different auras, but they all had one thing in common—fierceness.
Those who can establish themselves in a place like Black-Corner Region are no pushovers.
" Brother Tang, are you ready?"
Fan Lao's voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Yan opened the door and saw Fan Lao wearing a brand-new blood-red robe, looking very energetic.
Let's go.
The two walked out of the camp side by side and headed towards the center of Maple City.
Along the way, people kept greeting Fan Lao.
Fan Lao ignored them, his face cold and indifferent. Apart from powerful people like Xiao Yan who were valued by him, in Fan Lao's eyes, these weaklings were no different from ants.
They could be thrown into the Blood Sect's blood pool at any time to feed the Magical Beast.
Soon, the two arrived at the center of Maple City.
This is not Han Feng's bamboo forest, but a huge square.
A high platform was erected in the center of the square.
Dozens of chairs were placed around the platform, clearly intended for the leaders of the various factions.
By this time, quite a few people had already arrived.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over them, memorizing each and every one of them.
The most conspicuous were the few people sitting in the front row.
An elderly man dressed in a long golden robe, radiating dazzling golden light, was none other than Elder Jin.
An elderly man dressed in a silver robe, whose aura was equally unfathomable, was Elder Yin.
These two individuals were key members of the Black-Corner Region Allied Forces during the Great War at the Jia Nan Academy.
When the two join forces, they can even contend with Dou Zong expert.
However, at this moment, their injuries were clearly not yet fully healed, and their faces still showed a Sisi abnormality, but the aura emanating from their bodies was equally terrifying.
Beside them sat a middle-aged man in a black robe, his face sinister and his eyes cold.
That was Yin Wuji, the leader of the Eight Gates, known as " Ghost Hand ".
Beside him stood a burly man, shirtless, his muscles bulging, radiating a violent aura. That was the Valley Master of Demon Flame Valley, Yan Mo.
Each of these people is Dou Emperor- level powerhouse, one of the most powerful figures in the Black-Corner Region.
Xiao Yan and Fan Lao found a place to sit down.
I had barely sat down when I heard people talking.
"I heard that Medicine Emperor Han is going to form an alliance to fight against the Jia Nan Academy?"
"Indeed. Jia Nan Academy has gone too far. It's time to settle this score."
" Medicine Emperor Han is already at the Peak Dou Emperor. Add to that the Gold and Silver Elders, the Yin Sect Master, the Flame Valley Master, and Elder Ban, and even if Su Qian came personally, he wouldn't fare well!"
"That's right! We in the Black-Corner Region have been oppressed for so many years, it's time to fight back!"
Xiao Yan listened to these comments and sneered inwardly.
Oppression?
You were the ones who tried to steal their Heavenly Flames first, and got utterly defeated, yet now you're the victims?
But he didn't show it; he just sat quietly.
After a while, more and more people arrived.
The square gradually filled with people.
Just then, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Haha, everyone, I've kept you waiting!"
Han Feng walked out from behind the square, followed by Elder Ban.
Today he was dressed in a blue robe and wore a jade crown, looking gentle and refined, with an elegant demeanor.
But a shrewd glint shone in those narrow eyes.
Han Feng walked up to the high platform and scanned the entire audience.
"Thank you all for gracing my Maple City with your presence today."
Everyone bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.
"You're too kind Medicine Emperor Han!"
" Medicine Emperor Han has summoned me, how could I dare not come?"
Han Feng smiled and nodded, then his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Gentlemen, I have invited you all here today because I have important matters to discuss."
He paused, his gaze becoming deep.
"As you all know, Jia Nan Academy has recently launched a series of inhumane massacres against our Black-Corner Region."
Our compatriots, our brothers, our loved ones—countless have died or been injured!
Blood Sect, Eight Gates, Demon Flame Valley... which force hasn't suffered heavy losses?
Below the stage, the crowd nodded in agreement, their faces showing anger.
Xiao Yan watched this scene with secret admiration.
Han Feng's eloquence is truly remarkable. Even though the Black-Corner Region attacked first, his words made it seem like Jia Nan Academy was at fault.
"That Jia Nan Academy is so arrogant and domineering, they don't even treat the people of the Black-Corner Region as human beings!"
Han Feng's voice grew louder and louder.
"They steal our resources, kill our people, and destroy our homes! Should we continue to tolerate this?"
"Cannot!"
Someone shouted from the audience.
Han Feng nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, we can't tolerate this any longer! We must resist!"
He clenched his fists, his gaze resolute.
"Therefore, I propose that all the major powers in our Black-Corner Region unite and form an alliance!"
"Join forces against the Jia Nan Academy!"
These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the audience.
"An alliance? That's a good idea!"
"But... who will be the leader of the alliance?"
"Of course it's Medicine Emperor Han! He's the strongest, has the highest prestige, and is a sixth-grade alchemist. Who else would we choose?"
Xiao Yan noticed that those shouting the loudest were from the Blood Sect, the Eight Gates, and the Demon Flame Valley.
It was clearly something Han Feng had arranged long ago.
Sure enough, Fan Lao was the first to stand up.
"Our Blood Sect supports Medicine Emperor Han as our leader!"
Yin Wuji also stood up.
"My Eight Gates also support Medicine Emperor Han!"
" Demon Flame Valley supports Medicine Emperor Han!"
With the three major powers making their stance clear, what other smaller powers would dare to object? They all stood up and expressed their opinions.
"Support Medicine Emperor Han!"
" Medicine Emperor Han will be the leader!"
Han Feng stood on the high platform, a humble smile on his face.
"You all flatter me, I am ashamed. Since you trust me, I will accept your kind offer."
His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on the Gold and Silver Elders, and he spoke respectfully:
" Elder Jin, Elder Yin, you two are highly respected figures in the Black-Corner Region, renowned seniors. Would you be willing to join the alliance?"
Elder Jin and Elder Yin exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Since Medicine Emperor Han has spoken, we two old men will naturally give him face."
The group had already secretly coordinated their efforts. Now, whether it was the Blood Sect or the Gold and Silver Elders, their goal was simply to create momentum for Han Feng.
"Great! With the addition of the Gold and Silver Elders, our alliance will be even stronger!"
He looked at Xiao Yan and loudly introduced him to everyone:
" Brother Tang, your strength is comparable to that of Dou Emperor. I, Han, intend to establish an alliance in Maple City. Would you be willing to join us?"
Xiao Yan stood up, cupped his hands, and said:
"I am willing to serve the alliance."
Han Feng burst into laughter.
"Good! Good! Good!"
He turned around to face the entire audience, and azure flames erupted from his body, shooting straight into the sky:
"Today, the Black-Corner Region Alliance is officially established! It will be called the Black Alliance!"
" Black Alliance! Black Alliance! Black Alliance!"
The crowd below the stage cheered in unison.
Xiao Yan stood in the crowd, watching this scene, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
It really is Heavenly Flames!
Xiao Yan sighed inwardly, glancing in the direction of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, wondering how long it would take Xiao Huohuo to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame.
Han Feng stood on the high platform and waited for the cheers of the crowd to subside before continuing to speak.
"Gentlemen, now that the Black Alliance has been established, it's time for us to begin our operations."
He paused, his gaze sharpening.
"The first step is to integrate all the forces in the Black-Corner Region and establish a powerful alliance so that if any party is in trouble, the other forces will immediately provide support."
Our second step is to launch a counterattack against the Jia Nan Academy and show them that we, the people of Black-Corner Region, are not to be trifled with!
The crowd below the stage was filled with excitement.
"Yes! Let them know how powerful we are!"
"Go back and avenge our defeat!"
Xiao Yan watched this scene and secretly made plans in his mind.
The Black Alliance's strength is indeed not to be underestimated.
Han Feng himself is at the Peak Dou Emperor, the Gold and Silver Elders together can Dou Zong, Elder Ban at the Peak Dou Emperor, Yin Wuji, Yan Mo, and Fan Lao are all Dou Huang expert.
Add to that the leaders of those smaller factions, and if such forces were to launch a combined attack on the Jia Nan Academy, the Inner Academy might not be able to withstand it.
Fortunately, most of those who joined the Black Alliance did so out of fear of being implicated by the Jia Nan Academy, and thus were forced to the Black Alliance.
They are willing to fight to defend Black-Corner Region.
However, if Han Feng wanted to use the Black Alliance's power to attack Jia Nan Academy, these people weren't fools.
I won't risk my life to benefit the Han Feng.
