Chapter 130 When in Rome, do as the Romans do
The Black Horn Region is a chaotic area that is extremely famous in the entire Douqi Continent.

Because of its special location, this place has become the most chaotic area in the entire continent. Countless powerful people who have fled have ended up here and established the most barbaric rules of survival. In addition to the powerful human beings, there are also many other races here. It is like a miniature version of the Douqi Continent.

As a result, there are no laws or rules to constrain this place, only the most brutal law of the jungle.

Every day, countless powerful people and forces perish, and likewise, countless new forces are born.

It can be said to be a criminal's paradise.

……

After nearly a month's journey, Yao Yan and Cai Lin finally arrived at the edge of the Black Horn Region. What they saw was a vast plain. The pitch-black soil stretched to the sky, like a black line, completely separating the outside world from the inside.

"Is this the Black Region Plain?"

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Yao Yan's expression, which had been a little numb due to his hurried journey, suddenly became a little more energetic. He had been in this world for so many years and had not seen many scenery. The scenery in front of him was different from that in his previous life and was truly breathtaking. He even had some vague guesses in his heart that the great black plain in front of him was most likely the product of the battle between the ancient fighting emperors.

Not to mention the cave left by the ancient emperor Tushe, the terrain before him alone was extremely special. Standing at an altitude of ten thousand meters, he couldn't even see any signs of mountains in the distance. It was too flat.

"Yes, this unique landform can only be found in the Black Horn Region..."

Yao Lao's old voice was clearly heard by Yao Yan, and his tone was a little emotional, as if the Black Horn Region brought back a lot of memories.

There was a pause.

He continued to transmit his voice to Yao Yan: "The Black Horn Region is very dangerous. Don't trust any stranger, even if the other party looks weak. If you underestimate the other party, you will be the only one who suffers in the end. Those who can survive here must have their own way of survival. And the most important thing is, don't have any mercy. In addition, you have to be careful of an organization, the Soul Palace!"

"...Soul Palace?"

Yao Yan blinked, not knowing how to continue the topic for a moment, after all, this was their own home.

Yao Lao's voice was filled with fear, and his tone suddenly became extremely solemn: "I don't know if your teacher has talked to you about the Soul Palace. As an alchemist, you must be wary of it, because this force likes to capture powerful souls, and alchemists are their favorite prey. When I was in Zhongzhou, I had many contacts with them, and even fought with them!"

Yao Yan asked curiously, "How will it be won?"

"... I killed a few of the minions, but the rest were hard to deal with."

Yao Lao was silent for a moment and then gave the answer. With his strength back then, he could easily kill ordinary guardians, but those elders and heavenly masters were different. Each of them was cunning and had no bottom line in doing things. It was extremely difficult to kill them.

There was a pause.

He added: "Chaotic places like the Black Horn Region are undoubtedly the favorites of the people in the Soul Palace."

Yao Yan nodded, then changed the subject, looking at the Black Region Plain in the distance, and said, "Let's find a place to rest for a few days and find out where your disciple is~"

The Sea Heart Flame on Han Feng's body is one of his targets, but he doesn't know whether Han Feng has obtained the Sea Heart Flame now. If not, it would be a bit troublesome. However, with Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Fire as the foundation, the importance of the Sea Heart Flame is not that great.

Yao Yan's words undoubtedly silenced Yao Laogan. He was silent for a long time before he hummed.

Yao Yan ignored the autistic Yao Lao. He turned to look at the stunning queen beside him, took out a black robe from his ring and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "Put it on. This place is not like the Gama Empire. Your reputation as a fierce person is useless here."

Cai Lin looked at the black robe that Yao Yan handed over, frowned slightly, and said in a soft and slightly cold voice: "No, I have one myself."

As she spoke, she took out a mask and a black robe from her ring. After she was dressed, her entire figure and appearance were covered up, leaving only a small section of the purple snake tail outside, swaying gently. But even if it was just a small section of the snake tail, it had a strange beauty that made people unable to help but take a few more glances.

All I can say is that the charm of Queen Medusa's family is truly astonishing, perfectly proving the saying that beauty is a disaster.

Yao Yan sighed in his heart, put away his black robe, and took out his mask and put it on. After all, his appearance was also a source of trouble in the Black Horn Region. God knows if it would attract some perverts. If it was a female, it would be fine, but if it was a male... he felt that he would be disgusted.

After the two were dressed, they quickly lowered their altitude and began searching for the nearest city.

After searching for half an hour, a not-so-large tribe appeared before them.

"Go down."

Yao Yan said this softly, then flew directly towards the tribe with Cai Lin.

The blatant appearance of the two naturally attracted the strong men in the tribe, but the strongest among them was only at the level of Dou Ling. They just saw the Dou Qi wings behind Yao Yan and Cai Lin, and they instantly showed respect, not daring to be negligent at all.

"I am honored to meet you two adults. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you two adults."

The person who was speaking had lived in the Black Horn region for many years, so he naturally had good eyesight. Since the newcomer did not take action directly, it was obvious that he was not here to cause trouble. Otherwise, with the other party's strength, a slap would be enough to kill them all. Why bother talking nonsense with weaklings like them?

In a place like the Black Horn Region, strength is king. The strong don't need to explain anything to the weak and can do whatever they want.

Even if someone wants to fuck you in the street, you can only lift your butt obediently, and even have to ask him if the angle is suitable.

The wings of Dou Qi on Yao Yan's back trembled slightly. He floated in the air, overlooking the people below, and asked indifferently: "I need the latest map of the Black Horn Region. In addition, I also want to inquire about the matter of Yao Huang. Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, my lord."

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and immediately wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, calmed down, and then took out a map from his ring, held it up with both hands, and waited for Yao Yan to take it away before he slowly said, "I wonder if the Medicine King you are talking about is Han Feng, the Medicine King of Fengcheng?"

"Om~"

A strong soul fluctuation was transmitted from the Bone Inflammation Ring. Obviously, when he heard this name, Yao Lao was unable to control his emotions at all, especially when he got accurate information from others. The feeling of grief almost swept through his entire soul.

Cai Lin felt this soul fluctuation, her cold eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced at the storage ring on Yao Yan's finger. She knew that the old man was hiding in it.

Could it be that this Medicine King Han Feng is related to the other party?
Yao Yan controlled the Osteoarthritis Ring to block the fluctuations, nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, tell me all the information you know."

“I don’t know much. I only know that Yao Huang is a disciple of the former number one alchemist in Zhongzhou. He appeared in the Black Horn Region more than ten years ago. His alchemy skills are unmatched. At a young age, he has already broken through to the sixth-rank alchemist, making him the undisputed number one alchemist in the Black Horn Region. At the same time, his methods are also extremely ruthless. In order to establish his own power, he contacted several Douhuang powerhouses, destroyed the sects in Fengcheng at that time, and did not leave a single survivor. Because of this, he became famous and was the talk of the town!” The middle-aged man paused, wanting to see Yao Yan’s face, but Yao Yan was wearing a mask, so he could not judge his thoughts and emotions.

"Continue~"

Yaoyan said in a calm tone.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "With this momentum, the Medicine Emperor has gained a firm foothold in the Black Horn Region, and with his status as a sixth-rank alchemist, he has contacts with many forces in the Black Horn Region. Today, Maple City is more prosperous than before, and no one dares to mess with it. Rumor has it that even Canaan College has to give him some face."

"That's all I know."

He looked at Yao Yan cautiously, not daring to make a sound. Facing such a strong man, he did not have even a single evil thought.

"Thank you~"

Yao Yan nodded and casually threw a bottle of third-grade Qi-recovering pills to the other party. Without waiting for the other party to react, he soared into the sky with Cai Lin and flew towards the nearby city. At the same time, he did not forget to chat with Yao Lao in the Bone Flame Ring, and teased: "It seems that your disciple is doing well in the Black Horn Region. Medicine Emperor, wow, this title is really domineering~"

“Boy, stop making fun of me… Hey, I didn’t expect him to become what he is now. Back then, he had a conflict with me over the Burning Art. He felt that I was unwilling to give him the Burning Art, so he teamed up with my former junior brother to severely injure me, turning me into what I am now.”

Yao Lao's voice was low and a little weak, as if he had been holding it in for too long and he blurted it all out at once to vent his emotions.

Yao Yan was quite calm, and said softly: "There are always some people in this world who are born rebellious. They think that all good things should be theirs, and they can't stand the slightest grievance. They just think that you should be good to them, but if you go against their will, they will bear a grudge in their hearts. Such people are ungrateful and can never be tamed. You can only blame yourself for not seeing his true nature. You should have slapped him to death in the first place~"

While speaking, he also thought of the relationship between himself and Hunxuzi.

Compared with Yao Lao and Han Feng, his relationship with Hunxuzi seems to be more complicated. The other party trained him completely for exploitation, and even for an experiment. But judging by the actions rather than the heart, he has to acknowledge the other party's kindness in training him... But he still wants to crush the other party to death, as some hatred cannot be erased.

The memory of being used as an experimental subject by the other party and having his life and death controlled by him is still deeply engraved in my mind.

How can one forget the pain of being tortured to death?
But to be honest, the other party did teach him a lot of things, such as how to survive in this world!
Without the other party, he would not have come this far.

"Maybe~"

Yao Lao sighed lightly, as if he didn't want to continue on this topic.

Yao Yan said considerately: "If you can't bear to do it, I will do it when the time comes."

"let's discuss it later."

After saying this, Yao Lao disappeared and directly cut off contact with Yao Yan.

At this moment, Cai Lin was facing Yao Yan with that featureless mask, just like the first time they met. She spoke in a soft and gentle voice, "When are you going to Canaan College? It's probably not easy to get into that place."

"It may be difficult for others, but you seem to have forgotten that I am only seventeen years old."

Yao Yan looked into Cai Lin's eyes and chuckled.

Cai Lin was stunned when she heard that, and then she thought of Yao Yan's age. There was a complicated look in her eyes. Because of Yao Yan's strength and what he had done, she always habitually ignored his age. Who would be as perverted as Yao Yan at the age of seventeen?

She fell silent for a moment, obviously not wanting to discuss this topic with Yao Yan and give him a chance to show off.

Yao Yan continued to smile and said, "But whether to sneak in or not, I still have to think about it. Before that, let's go to Fengcheng first. I want to meet the number one alchemist in the Black Horn Region... A sixth-grade alchemist dares to call himself the number one. How shameless he is~"

He suddenly thought of a saying: When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king.

As Yao Lao's apprentice, Han Feng's talent is unquestionable, otherwise he would not have been able to improve his strength to Half-Step Dou Zong by practicing the incomplete Burning Decree. Although this is an achievement in the future in the original novel, based on this point alone, the other party's talent is definitely not weak, and it is no wonder that he is highly praised by Yao Lao.

However, Han Feng had a big problem with his character. He was eager for quick success and liked to take the wrong path at a young age. He liked to achieve success quickly and thus wasted all his talent. As a result, he couldn't break through to the Dou Zong level even when he was in his forties. It could be said that he had ruined a good move.

In the end, he found himself unable to survive in Zhongzhou and could only come to places like Black Horn to show off.

But this guy still feels quite proud of it.

Cai Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked in a low voice: "His relationship with that old gentleman..."

"That old guy raised him from childhood to be an ungrateful person. He teamed up with outsiders to harm him and made him what he is now."

Yao Yan was brief and to the point; he knew that Yao Lao didn't like discussing this topic.

Cai Lin nodded slightly without asking any more questions, and gave Yao Lao a certain respect. In this regard, she still had the delicacy that a woman should have, and knew that no one would like others to discuss their sad past.

"Black Seal City!"

Yao Yan looked at the map in his hand and quickly found a familiar word. This city, which appeared in the original novel, was under the jurisdiction of the Eight Gates. The Eight Gates were an old force in the Black Horn Region with strong strength and background. Their most famous event was the annual auction, which would attract countless powerful people.

He said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that this year's auction has ended, otherwise we could have robbed it~"

"...You really do adapt to local customs!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin was speechless for a moment. She rolled her eyes at Yao Yan and said.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"

Yao Yan raised the corner of his mouth, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and laughed.

PS: It’s the mid-term, I forgot to ask for leave yesterday, sorry
