Xiao Yan didn't expect Han Feng to ask him directly.
Startled for a moment, Xiao Yan paused before speaking.
"Leader, almost the entire Black Alliance has been involved in this operation."
Dear friends and family.
At this point, Xiao Yan exchanged a glance with the others in the hall, nodded slightly, and then continued:
"They're all core members of the Black Alliance; our interests are intertwined. But that might not be the case for others."
Xiao Yan shook his head before continuing.
"Although we have tried our best to gather information for this operation, we did not even tell the ordinary disciples of the Blood Sect what the mission was before we took action."
But no one can guarantee that there aren't spies from other sects within their own ranks.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly.
They knew in their hearts that Xiao Yan was not lying.
Yuan Yi, Han Feng, Fan Lao, and the others exchanged a silent glance before looking away.
Xiao Yan is right; even within the other side's sect, they had placed pawns within it.
" Brother Tang is right."
Han Feng nodded in agreement.
Now that the Black Alliance's actions have been exposed, Jia Nan Academy is prepared.
Most of their strongholds in the Black-Corner Region have been deserted.
Many of the Black Alliance's teams came up empty-handed.
Han Feng's gaze swept over everyone before he continued.
"To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability."
Next, I hope everyone will keep a close eye on their subordinates. There will be absolutely no room for traitors within the Black Alliance.
Han Feng's voice carried a hint of coldness.
Of course, Fan Lao and the others agreed as well, and the discussion ended there.
Outside the bamboo forest, Xiao Yan and Fan Lao walked together toward the Blood Sect's encampment.
Fan Lao's tone carried a hint of helplessness and resentment.
"Damn it, they let such a good opportunity slip away."
Fan Lao shook his head in regret, still lamenting the departure of the Jia Nan Academy students.
"If I find out who's been tipping them off, I'll rip their head off and throw it into a pool of blood."
" Sect Leader Fan, please don't be angry."
Xiao Yan patted Fan Lao on the shoulder before speaking.
"If you miss this opportunity, there will be better ones later."
Besides, although Jia Nan Academy is deserted, we have taken over everything inside the stronghold, so it wasn't a complete loss."
Fan Lao's expression improved somewhat after hearing Xiao Yan's words of comfort.
"Now that things have come to this, we must act swiftly and seize all of the Jia Nan Academy's possessions as quickly as possible."
As the head of a clan, Fan Lao would not foolishly wallow in regret.
After regaining his senses, he nodded to Xiao Yan and immediately arranged for the Blood Sect members to take over the various territories within the Black-Corner Region.
The Black Alliance is currently enjoying unparalleled power in the Black-Corner Region.
Under their deliberate suppression, many small and medium-sized forces ultimately had no choice but to join the Black Alliance, or be framed by the Black Alliance on trumped-up charges.
For example, "spies from the Jia Nan Academy " and "enemies preparing to attack the Black Alliance " became their stepping stones.
In just half a month, the Black Alliance's territory expanded rapidly.
Jia Nan Academy seemed to have completely disappeared from the Black-Corner Region.
The academy disciples who used to go out for training in groups have now all stayed within the Jia Nan Academy and no longer venture out.
This prevented Fan Lao, who was eager to take action against the Jia Nan Academy, from finding a suitable opportunity.
"Gentlemen, this invitation is to celebrate the initial success of our Black Alliance's establishment."
It was still within the bamboo forest of Maple City.
Han Feng sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the group of leaders below.
Half a month has passed, and the Black Alliance's power has nearly doubled since then.
As more and more factions joined the Black Alliance Black Alliance, its reputation expanded rapidly.
Even Jia Nan Academy no longer dares to act recklessly in the Black-Corner Region, as if it has completely withdrawn from the Black-Corner Region.
"Haha, it's all thanks to Alliance Leader Han leadership."
"Thanks to the Alliance Leader's leadership, we are able to stand here. If you ask me, the Alliance Leader is the greatest contributor."
"Now, Jia Nan Academy is terrified of the Black Alliance's power; they're only able to keep the villains in check thanks to our leader..."
As soon as Han Feng finished speaking, a chorus of flattering voices rang out in the room.
This is especially true for small and medium-sized forces that have recently joined the Black Alliance.
Having not yet established a firm foothold within the Black Alliance, they naturally wanted to be the first to pledge allegiance to Han Feng and demonstrate their loyalty.
Han Feng listened to the flattery from the crowd, a broad smile on his face, and waved his hand as he spoke.
"Don't talk nonsense. The Black Alliance's current scale is not solely due to my efforts."
Han Feng raised his glass and invited those who had initially established the Black Alliance to drink together:
"All of this wouldn't have been possible without everyone's help, and similarly..."
Han Feng then turned his gaze to the back half of the crowd and addressed those who had recently joined the Black Alliance or had not yet established themselves.
"As long as everyone works together, I believe the Black Alliance will become stronger and stronger."
The stronger the Black Alliance, the more help you will receive.
Han Feng put down his wine glass and continued speaking.
" Jia Nan Academy now appears to have given up on settling scores with Black-Corner Region."
But I know that old man Su Qian; he definitely won't let this go.
Therefore, the stability of the Black-Corner Region will require everyone's joint efforts to maintain it in the future.
Han hopes everyone will work together and not let small gains damage the brotherhood.
As soon as Han Feng finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Black Alliance became somewhat strange.
However, most people agreed and did not refute it.
After all, as Han Feng said, now that they have joined the Black Alliance, they hope to unite and fight together against external threats.
As for the Jia Nan Academy...
Han Feng paused for a moment, and then, under everyone's gaze, continued speaking.
"Our initial intention in establishing the Black Alliance was to protect ourselves."
Therefore, as long as Jia Nan Academy does not actively attack members of my Black Alliance.
We certainly wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for them.
But if Jia Nan Academy were to take action against any member or faction of my Black Alliance...
Our Black Alliance will fight them to the death.
Hearing Han Feng's arrangements, everyone's expressions softened somewhat.
Most people join the Black Alliance not to fight against the Jia Nan Academy.
Rather, it was to survive the purge at the Jia Nan Academy.
If Han Feng insisted on leading them to attack Jia Nan Academy, I'm afraid most of the people here would disagree.
The reason Jia Nan Academy is so renowned across the continent is certainly not because of its group of students and instructors.
The old monster behind him had countless outstanding students who graduated from his school throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent.
If they dare to attack Jia Nan Academy, they will face retribution from these people sooner or later.
So when everyone heard that Han Feng wouldn't launch a preemptive attack on the Jia Nan Academy, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly upon hearing Han Feng's words.
Based on Han Feng's displayed shrewdness, Xiao Yan did not believe that Han Feng was the kind of person who knew when to stop.
In Xiao Yan's view, Han Feng spoke in this way to appease people and also to buy himself some time.
Firstly, the Black Alliance has only been established for a short time, and his prestige within the alliance is not yet enough to intimidate everyone.
Once Han Feng had completely taken control of the Black Alliance and made it an unbreakable force, that would be the time to act.
When he has enough prestige to command the people.
The battle between the Black Alliance and Jia Nan Academy is unstoppable.
This was something that even a few people in the room understood.
However, all they want is the stability they have now.
As for what happens in the future, who will care?
