66: Enter Maple City, in search of Han Feng!

"Recover your Dou Qi first. You must have other things to do in the Black-Corner Region, right?"

Xiao Yan took the Medicinal Pill and gratefully swallowed one. A gentle medicinal power instantly spread through his body, alleviating the excruciating pain in his Meridians.

He steadied himself and recounted his experiences since entering the Black-Corner Region: "Some time ago, I attended the Eight Gates auction. I snatched something from the Blood Sect Young Sect Leader Fan Ling and killed him along the way, but I didn't expect to be discovered in the end."

"Later, I hid for quite a few days, but I was recognized by Fan Lao at an auction, and I have been hunted by him ever since."

Speaking to the end, he clenched his fists, anger flashing in his eyes: "By the way, Big Brother Jiang, I also heard that the teacher's traitorous Disciple, Han Feng, is also in the Black-Corner Region. He is currently in Maple City. Not only has he recruited many experts, but he is also scouting for news about the teacher everywhere, wanting to seize the teacher's Legacy!"

A flash of sternness crossed Jiang Luo's eyes. Han Feng's act of betraying his master and ancestors was something he despised, not to mention that the other party held the exotic Sea Heart Flame, which was exactly the resource he needed for his Breakthrough to the Middle Stage.

"As it happens, we are also going to Maple City."

He patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, his tone full of confidence: "It's time to settle the score with Han Feng. With me here, I will certainly be able to help you seek justice for Master Yao."

Xiao Yi Xian also nodded in agreement: "A traitor like Han Feng deserves punishment. Since we are on our way, let's go meet him together."

Qing Lin even tugged at Xiao Yan's sleeve and said with a giggle: "Brother Xiao Yan, when the time comes, I will lock him with my eyes, I guarantee he won't be able to escape!"

Xiao Yan looked at the three people in front of him. The despair in his heart was swept away, replaced by overflowing hope.

The group rested in the dense forest for an hour. Once Xiao Yan's Dou Qi had mostly recovered, they set off together towards Maple City.

By this time, Maple City was already as bustling as a marketplace.

Using the "refining of a sixth-grade pill" as a gimmick, Han Feng had packed the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion to the point where not even water could trickle through.

In the center of the square, a huge purple-copper Pill Furnace hovered in the air, with flames burning fiercely beneath it. Han Feng, dressed in a white Alchemist robe and holding a pill scoop, manipulated the flames with an air of profound mystery. The scent of the Medicinal Pill filled the city along with the heat, drawing bursts of exclamations from the onlookers.

"As expected of a Great Master who can refine a sixth-grade pill! Just smelling this medicinal fragrance makes one feel invigorated!"

"I heard that this time he is refining a Huangji Pill, which can directly help a Dou Huang expert increase their strength by one or two stars. If I could get one, this life would be worth it!"

"Stop dreaming. Such a treasure is only something that the Dou Huangs of those major powers are qualified to fight for. We should just watch the excitement."

As time passed, Han Feng suddenly waved his pill scoop. The lid of the Pill Furnace opened automatically with a "hum." A golden Medicinal Pill, emitting a lustrous glow, slowly rose. It was indeed a sixth-grade Huangji Pill.

The crowd instantly boiled over. Greed flashed in the eyes of many Dou King experts, and even a few Dou Huangs hiding in the crowd couldn't help but shift their steps forward.

Han Feng laughed triumphantly, reached out to put the Huangji Pill into a Jade Bottle, and spoke slowly: "Everyone has seen it. Whoever is willing to submit to my Maple City and listen to my commands, I will gift this Huangji Pill to them."

As soon as he finished speaking, several Dou King experts immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "We are willing to submit to Lord Han!"

Even a gray-haired Dou Huang elder pushed through the crowd, stepped forward quickly, and bowed: "This old man is a one-star Dou Huang. I am willing to serve Maple City. I only ask that Lord Han grant this old man the Huangji Pill to help me break through my Bottleneck!"

Han Feng laughed with satisfaction and threw the Jade Bottle to the elder: "Good! With your help, my Maple City is like a tiger that has grown wings!"

But just as the elder took the Jade Bottle and was preparing to find a place to consume the Medicinal Pill with a face full of joy, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from high above. Four figures stepped through the air and arrived; it was Jiang Luo and his party.

"Presumptuous!" The Dou Huang elder saw this and immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you trespass in the sky above Maple City? Don't you see Lord Han is here? Why don't you come down and die immediately!"

He had just received benefits from Han Feng and wanted to show off, but he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, a streak of Scarlet Dou Qi would strike like lightning.

With a "puchi" sound, the Dou Qi pierced directly through his chest.

The elder lowered his head in disbelief to look at the blood hole in his chest. The Jade Bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," and the Huangji Pill rolled out.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually collapsed weakly to the ground, completely losing his breath.

The whole scene was instantly dead silent, and everyone was stunned.

A Dou Huang expert who was just showing off his power was actually killed in one move?

The smile on Han Feng's face froze instantly. He looked up at the high sky, his eyes full of vigilance, and his right hand quietly condensed Dou Qi: "Who is Your Excellency? Why do you want to be an enemy of my Maple City?"

Jiang Luo slowly landed on the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion. Terrifying Dou Qi faintly swirled around his body, and a powerful pressure spread out, making all the experts present tremble uncontrollably.

They looked up with difficulty at the person in mid-air.

"The person who will kill you! Han Feng, in the past, you betrayed your master and ancestors; today will be the day of your death!"
