Fan Lao and Yuan Yi locked eyes, and an invisible tension filled the air.
Both the Blood Sect and the Eight Gates are forces in the Black-Corner Region, and there has always been some friction between them.
"Get back!"
A sharp shout came from afar.
Everyone turned around and saw Han Feng leading Elder Ban, hurrying towards their location.
Before he even arrived, Han Feng's voice had already echoed through the street.
The oppressive aura of Peak Dou Emperor made everyone afraid to move.
Han Feng's expression was very unpleasant at this moment.
" The Black Alliance has just been established, and you're already fighting in the streets? What kind of behavior is this?!"
Han Feng stood in front of the Blood Sect and the Eight Gates, his brows furrowed and his face cold.
When Fan Lao and Yuan Yi saw Han Feng arrive, they both snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
But neither side was willing to back down.
In their view, this was all a deliberate provocation by the other party.
Now that the Black Alliance has just been established, if they retreat now, their status within the Black Alliance will likely become increasingly lower in the future.
" Medicine Emperor Han, it was their people who struck first!" Fan Lao pointed at the Eight Gates members, his face grim.
"Bullshit! It was your Blood Sect people who stole our credit first!!" The middle-aged man from the Eight Gates, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, suddenly retorted.
Han Feng frowned deeply.
"Shut up, all of you!"
He looked at Fan Lao and Yuan Yi.
" Sect Leader Fan, Sect Master Yuan, you two should keep your own people in check."
Now that the Black Alliance has just been established, the most important thing is to be united. The two of you should set an example.
If this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Fan Lao and Yuan Yi exchanged a glance, both of them looking rather grim.
However, with Han Feng around, at least this battle won't break out.
After both sides were reprimanded by Han Feng, although their eyes still gleamed with anger, they left separately.
However, seeing the angry looks in their eyes, Xiao Yan understood that a grudge had been formed between them.
Back at his post, Fan Lao was so angry that he smashed a teacup.
" The Eight Gates are going too far!"
Xiao Yan poured him a cup of tea.
" Sect Leader Fan, do the Eight Gates and the Blood Sect have a history of enmity?"
Fan Lao took a sip of tea, suppressing his anger.
"It's been like this for a long time. That old bastard Yuan Yi has always coveted my Blood Sect's territory."
Now that the Black Alliance has been formed, instead of focusing on fighting Jia Nan Academy, they're just bullying their own kind; they've become even more arrogant.
Xiao Yan seemed to be deep in thought, and tentatively spoke to Fan Lao:
"Since the Blood Sect and the Eight Gates already have a grudge, and now that they are within the Black Alliance, it seems that only Radiant Emperor Han can mediate."
Fan Lao sneered.
"Tube?
He'd love for us to fight amongst ourselves. Only when we fight can he profit from it.
Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. After listening to Fan Lao curse a few more times, he got up and left.
In the following days, the people from the Blood Sect and the Eight Gates did not get along whenever they met.
However, because Fan Lao and Yuan Yi were keeping everyone in check, although some minor disputes broke out, they did not cause major chaos.
However, Xiao Yan could sense that with the establishment of the Black Alliance Black Alliance, all the forces that joined it wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, this chaos is both accidental and fueled by others.
Similarly, Han Feng, now the leader of the Black Alliance, has naturally noticed the undercurrents in Maple City.
A few days later, Han Feng once again sent someone to the Blood Sect's headquarters to invite Xiao Yan and Fan Lao.
This time, however, we're not going to the bamboo house, but to a newly built martial arts arena on the outskirts of Maple City.
Xiao Yan and Fan Lao walked together toward the martial arts arena Maple City.
" Sect Leader Fan, do you know why Medicine Emperor Han invited everyone here today?"
Xiao Yan has spent most of his time at the Blood Sect's base these past few days.
I've only heard that the chaos in Maple City has become more frequent, but I don't know what Han Feng's plans are.
"Snort."
Fan Lao was clearly still resentful that Han Feng was playing coy about the matter between the Blood Sect and the Eight Gates.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, he couldn't help but sneer:
"What else could it be for? It seems our alliance leader needs to start assigning positions within the alliance."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, and as they talked, the two quickly arrived around the martial arts arena.
Only then did they realize that quite a few people had already gathered there.
The Gold and Silver Elders and Yin, Elder Ban, Yuan Yi, Fan Lao, and the leaders of various forces, large and small, were all present.
Han Feng sat in an area on the other side of the training ground.
With the Gold and Silver Elders Elder Ban behind him, their imposing presence deterred the arrivals from expressing any dissent.
Han Feng greeted Xiao Yan and Fan Lao with a smile.
" Brother Tang, you've arrived."
Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting.
"Is there something important that the Medicine Emperor Han has summoned me for?"
Han Feng smiled upon hearing this, his gaze casually sweeping over the surroundings. He then spoke, noticing the leaders who had been listening intently.
" The Black Alliance has been formed; we're all brothers who eat from the same pot."
But even among brothers, there should be a hierarchy.
The purpose of inviting everyone here today is probably clear to you all.
The chaos within Maple City today mirrors the chaos throughout the entire Black-Corner Region.
Since we're in an alliance, we should abide by the rules of the alliance.
The reason I have summoned you all here is to take this opportunity to inform you of all the future arrangements within the alliance.
If you want to benefit from the alliance in the future, you will naturally need to make contributions and demonstrate your value.
Otherwise, if anyone wants to reap without sowing and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, I, Han Feng, will be the first to object.
Xiao Yan's heart stirred.
The surrounding leaders weren't fools; they instantly understood Han Feng's meaning.
Han Feng wanted to see their strength, and also wanted to take this opportunity to completely bind the members of the Black Alliance together.
" Brother Tang, you've just joined the Black Alliance, and people don't yet know your strength."
Why don't you go on stage first and show everyone what you've got?
Han Feng smiled and looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan knew he couldn't avoid it, but he didn't refuse. He nodded, stood on the training ground, cupped his hands to the crowd around him, and spoke.
"Since Medicine Emperor Han has spoken, then I shall make a fool of myself."
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the crowd.
"Which friend would be willing to offer their advice?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a burly man jumped onto the field.
"I'll do it!"
The burly man was shirtless, his muscles bulging, exuding a ferocious aura.
He was wearing animal skin shorts and carrying a huge battle axe, the blade still stained with dried blood.
"My name is Xiong Lie, Peak Dou Wang. Please enlighten me!"
Xiao Yan looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Please."
Xiong Lie roared, and the Dou Qi within his body surged wildly!
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow as he watched the burly man's movements, and then a dark figure burst out from his body.
His aura began to rise again.
In the Douluo Continent, Martial Soul are the foundation of Soul Master.
However, in this world, Xiao Yan cannot reveal his Martial Soul.
Fortunately, his Second Martial Soul Division, so from the outside, it was just a phantom.
In the Dou Qi Continent, it's easier to understand as an afterimage or a clone.
Xiong Lie raised his battle axe and slashed down fiercely at Xiao Yan!
The axe blade tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek!
Xiao Yan shifted his feet slightly, dodging the axe blow.
The battle axe struck the ground, shattering the bluestone slab with a deafening roar, sending fragments flying everywhere!
Xiong Lie missed with his axe, but he was not discouraged. He swung his axe around again!
Xiao Yan dodged again with a flash.
His speed was astonishing, leaving behind afterimages on the training ground.
Although Xiong Lie's attacks were fierce, they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
"Is all you can do to hide?!" Xiong Lie roared.
Xiao Yan did not answer.
