67: Han Feng, the curtain falls

Maple City, a very famous city in the Black-Corner Region.

Because of Han Feng, this Peak Rank Six Alchemist, this city was even more famous than cities like Black Emperor City, which were governed by Dou Zong powerhouses.

At this moment, Han Feng was sitting in a tall pavilion, drinking tea, the exquisite teacup being picked up and put down again.

“My cultivation has been unable to advance by even half a step! The problem with this incomplete Burning Technique is still too great!”

The Medicine Emperor, who was admired and envied by everyone in the Black-Corner Region, also had his own troubles.

“Perhaps absorbing another kind of Heavenly Flame could give me some inspiration to continue completing the Burning Technique.”

The greatest use of the Burning Technique was the Fusion of Heavenly Flames. Without personally witnessing the process, Han Feng often relied purely on imagination to try and complete the Cultivation Technique.

“Jia Nan Academy, Fallen Heart Flame…”

Han Feng did not dare to casually attack Jia Nan Academy, after all, Su Qian was there to hold the fort.

Just as Han Feng's thoughts were in disarray, one of his subordinates came behind the curtain, “City Lord, just now someone said he wanted to see you, claiming to be the Sect Master of the Poison Sect.”

Upon hearing this, the teacup in Han Feng’s hand paused, and a hint of surprise appeared in his expression.

Half a year ago, a Dou Zong and Rank Six Alchemist named Xiao Lei defeated the allied forces of the three empires led by the Izumo Empire. Afterwards, he established a force in the Izumo Empire, named — the Poison Sect.

Han Feng was extremely interested in this Xiao Lei, because it was rumored that he possessed a blue-purple Heavenly Flame.

It was just that Han Feng couldn’t understand why he would proactively come to see him.

It couldn’t be that he also took a fancy to his Heavenly Flame, could it!

He didn’t have the Burning Technique, and ordinary people could only absorb one Heavenly Flame.

“Please come in!”

The Sect Master of the Poison Sect was a Dou Zong, and in any case, was higher than Han Feng, so Han Feng naturally dared not be negligent.

However, whether he would scheme in private was unknown.

“The Medicine Emperor is facing a great disaster and still has the leisure to drink tea. This composure, I, Xiao, admire, I admire!”

Xiao Lei’s opening remarks were two threats, belonging to the strategy of first spreading anxiety, then harvesting the opponent.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng frowned. He was now the Medicine Emperor. Although he had not yet broken through to Dou Zong, in this Black-Corner Region, he might not get whatever he wished for, but his status was still lofty. Yet, this Xiao Lei opened his mouth and said he was doomed.

How could Han Feng accept this!

However, amidst his anger, Han Feng was also curious about the reason for his impending doom as spoken by Xiao Lei.

“Sect Leader Xiao, why do you say such a thing! Are you not just making fun of me, Han!”

Han Feng put down his teacup, and there was already a hint of displeasure in his words.

Xiao Lei thought to himself, 'You've met me, how can you not be doomed!'

As for the displeasure in the latter's tone… what was Han Feng to him!

The highest combat power he could bring out was the Gold and Silver Elders. If these two could take one move from Xiao Lei, Xiao Lei would have to carefully study their physiological structure.

And Xiao Lei was now a three-star Dou Zong.

【Target: The famous Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region.】

【Cultivation: Dou Huang Peak.】

【Cultivation Technique: Burning Technique (incomplete version).】

...【Alchemy: Rank Six Peak.】

【Heavenly Flame: Sea Heart Flame.】

...【Physique: None.】

【Copy Time: Five minutes.】

【Copy?】

“Copy.”

Xiao Lei came primarily, of course, because he coveted the other party’s Heavenly Flame and Alchemy, and secondly, for the matter of attacking Jia Nan Academy.

After all, although Xiao Lei had signed up for Jia Nan Academy back then, he was already a Dou Zong now.

At the Dou Zong level, one was already enough to be a Sect Master, or a monarch of a country, ruling over a region. Would Su Qian believe Xiao Lei if he said he wanted to go to Jia Nan Academy to study!

Let alone Dou Zong, Dou Kings graduated directly from Jia Nan Academy, because the inner academy was not willing to cultivate Dou Kings, as too many resources were required.

Su Qian would never let him enter Jia Nan Academy.

And he needed to take away Venerable Skyfire’s Soul in order to break through to Dou Zun.

So he found Han Feng, the most suitable scapegoat.

Although he was weak, he could call for backup!

“Why do you say such a thing?”

Xiao Lei snorted coldly, walked closer to Han Feng, and spoke softly.

“Hehe, Medicine Emperor, don’t forget what you did in the past!”

“No matter how good your Alchemy is, it can’t refine away the past!”

Upon hearing this, Han Feng’s heart trembled, as if struck by a Nine Heavens Mysterious Lightning, his entire body stiffening.

Although the matter of assassinating his Master had passed for so many years, Han Feng had not forgotten it in the slightest.

Whenever he thought of the incomplete Burning Technique in his hand, Han Feng would think of his Master… Forcing himself to remain calm, Han Feng squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, “Oh? Sect Leader Xiao, why don’t you speak plainly!”

Xiao Lei was a Dou Zong powerhouse, otherwise Han Feng would have already directly attacked and captured Xiao Lei for torture.

“Does the Medicine Emperor not think that the matter of assassinating his Master back then was flawless? Do you think that by hiding in this remote corner of the Northwest Continent, you can escape this grudge!”

As soon as Xiao Lei’s words left his mouth, Han Feng excitedly drew his longsword and pointed it at Xiao Lei.

“That old thing isn’t dead! I knew it, when his remnant Soul fled that day, and the Heavenly Flame wasn’t left behind, I knew he might not be dead!”

“Speak, what do you know!”

Han Feng was extremely agitated. For years he had often worried about this matter being exposed. Wind Venerable had never given up on the investigation, and if he knew the truth, a hundred of him would not be enough for him to tear apart.

Amidst his agitation, Han Feng suddenly overlooked the fact that Xiao Lei was a Dou Zong.

Seeing Xiao Lei’s increasingly gloomy gaze, Han Feng finally reacted.

“Medicine Emperor, you have quite a temper!”

Xiao Lei stepped forward and slapped Han Feng across the face, instantly leaving him dazed.

If he didn’t still need to use him, Xiao Lei wouldn’t have spared his life.

Han Feng covered his face, which was almost numb from the blow, and spoke with a gloomy expression, “Since Sect Leader Xiao is here, there are only two possibilities.”

“One, you have a connection with that old fellow and are here to take my life.”

“Two, you have a grudge with that old fellow and are here to use my hand to eliminate him.”

After being slapped, Han Feng finally calmed down and began to speculate on Xiao Lei’s motives.

Xiao Lei did not answer, after all, he was not qualified to question him.

“I know the whereabouts of your Master, Yao Chen. It’s harmless to tell you, but I’m quite interested in the Medicine Cauldron in your hand. The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is also good, and your storage ring, hand them all over.”

Just kidding, although Xiao Lei was using Han Feng, the latter still had to give him benefits.

“You!”

Han Feng almost swore upon hearing this. The myriad beast cauldron was something he snatched from Yao Chen after he assassinated his Master. The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill was the only Rank Seven Medicinal Pill he could refine, a unique creation of Elder Yao. Only two people on the entire continent knew how to refine it, and Han Feng had relied on it countless times to earn resources.

However, Xiao Lei demanded both of his greatest treasures with a single sentence.

Han Feng thought to himself: 'Why don't you say you want my Heavenly Flame!'

However, without his perception, the Sea Heart Flame had already appeared in Xiao Lei’s Dantian, and the third spirit-absorbing ring there was already burning with flames.

But Han Feng didn’t struggle for long before he compromised.

No other reason… life was more important than anything!

If the matter of him assassinating his Master were to spread, he would have no way to live.

Moreover, even though the two were currently negotiating amicably, their strengths were not on the same level. If Xiao Lei were to suddenly attack, Han Feng would undoubtedly die!

Han Feng very readily handed over his storage ring. Xiao Lei was very pleased, he hadn’t met such an understanding person in a long time!

He would need to refine a large number of Medicinal Pills later, and he would rely on this storage ring… “Jia Nan Academy, you have a Junior Brother named Xiao Yan. Oh, and the Heavenly Flames you’ve been thinking about, Jia Nan Academy now has three of them. It just depends on whether you can take them!”

After speaking, Xiao Lei laughed loudly and left.

And he also had to prepare for the grand drama of Han Feng attacking Jia Nan Academy!

“Where are the Gold and Silver Elders! Tell them to come see me quickly!”

Seeing Xiao Lei leave, cold sweat poured down Han Feng’s back. The feeling that the other party could kill him at any time truly made Han Feng uneasy.

“That old fellow is in Jia Nan Academy, and Jia Nan Academy is not to be trifled with. What should I do?”

The anxious Han Feng thought of someone who had conspired with him to scheme against Elder Yao back then.

“Go invite Mu Gu Old Man!”
