Chapter 151 Return to Black Seal City
Some people are fearless, daring to think and act. It seems that there is nothing in this world that they dare not do. As long as it can bring benefits to themselves, they will do everything they can.
Han Feng is undoubtedly such a person. For him, as long as it can bring him actual benefits, he doesn't care even if the entire Black Horn Region is sacrificed, let alone the destruction of a few cities. As an extreme egoist, he can even ignore the grace of raising his children, not to mention those people who have nothing to do with him. Even if more of them die, he may not even blink an eye.
Half a month after Han Feng reached an agreement with the two soul envoys, the first force was brutally wiped out. Not only did all of its sect disciples die, but even the city where it was located was completely destroyed.
No one, young or old, escaped alive, and it became a deadly place.
This incident happened in an extremely strange way and almost no one noticed it. When outsiders discovered it, the city had become a strange empty city. There was not even a sign of living people inside. The city that originally housed hundreds of thousands of people turned into an empty city overnight. All the people inside, regardless of their strength, disappeared, and there was not even a trace of a battle.
This bizarre scene scared the first person who entered it... But soon, an inhumane looting broke out. After all, the people inside disappeared, but their property did not. To those desperate criminals in the Black Horn Region, death was never a scary thing; poverty was!
The saying "poor in literature but rich in martial arts" is still applicable in the Douqi Continent. For ordinary people, if they want to practice quickly, they cannot do without the resources for practice.
If you want to become stronger but don't want to be someone else's younger brother, then the only way is naturally to do business with no capital.
therefore.
Killing became the main theme of the Black Horn Region.
……
When Yao Yan learned the news from outside, it was already the end of the month. He had been very low-key during this period and had been practicing in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, experiencing the feeling of the Fallen Heart Flame burning his body. Now, even if he did not resist, the heart fire could not cause him any harm.
And with the help of the power of the Fallen Heart Flame, he was finally able to refine the last bit of stubborn spatial force in his body. At the same time, with the help of the pure energy of the Demonic Poison Spot, the Dou Qi in his body was increased by another star, entering the level of a six-star Dou Wang. He couldn't even suppress it if he wanted to.
When the water is full, it will overflow. The pure fighting spirit provided by the magic poison spot is undoubtedly too much for a fighting king. Even if he has carefully controlled it, the already fragile barrier will be penetrated in an instant with a slight effort.
When they returned to the courtyard, its interior was still sealed by Su Qian's space power. The phenomenon of Zi Yan's advancement was not visible to the outside world, nor did it cause any disturbance in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy. Everything was as calm as ever, and the years were peaceful, forming a sharp contrast with the chaotic Black Horn Region outside.
"Has he come out of retreat?" Su Qian looked at Yao Yan who had come out of retreat. His eyes moved slightly. He looked at him for a few times and a hint of surprise flashed across his tone, because this kid's strength had improved.
The original five-star Dou Wang's strength is now six-star? !
When could Dou Wang cultivate so quickly... Su Qian couldn't help but think of himself at this moment. He was also considered a genius back then. He cultivated to Dou Wang in his early twenties, and later spent several years to step into Dou Huang. He vaguely remembered that it took him nearly eight years to break through from Dou Wang one star to nine stars, which means on average about one star per year.
This cultivation speed is already extremely fast.
But comparing himself with the boy in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little desperate. Fortunately, the other party was not from the same era as him, otherwise he would really feel like he couldn't breathe.
"Once you have a breakthrough in strength, you will naturally come out of retreat~" Yao Yan nodded, then walked to Zi Yan's side, and used his soul power to sense Zi Yan's condition. He found that her vitality was constantly getting stronger. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and looked at Su Qian again, saying: "Great Elder, you have worked hard these past few days."
"It's not that hard. Don't forget, Zi Yan was picked up by me."
Su Qian glared at Yao Yan and said unhappily, it's not that they were fighting for anything, but Yao Yan's words that treated him as an outsider to Zi Yan made him a little unhappy.
Yao Yan did not argue with Su Qian, but changed the subject and asked, "Has anything major happened in the Black Horn Region recently?"
"Something happened..."
Upon hearing this, Su Qian's expression suddenly became more serious. His eyes flickered as he looked at Yao Yan. After a moment of silence, he told him about the city that suddenly became a deserted city.
"It turned into an empty city overnight?" Yao Yan was also stunned and said in surprise. This method was really sharp. It didn't look like it was done by those people from the Black Horn Region. Could it be that it was done by those people from the Soul Palace?
It seems that only the Soul Palace in the Black Horn Region has the ability to turn a city into a deserted one without alerting anyone.
After all, to many people, ordinary low-level practitioners are of no value, unless they are some guys who practice specific magic skills. Others will not kill innocent people indiscriminately because it makes no sense. However, the Soul Palace is obviously an exception. For the Soul Palace, the soul is the most valuable thing, and the souls of ordinary people are naturally included in this category.
According to Yao Lao, the Soul Palace has secretly carried out such massacres in remote areas many times.
"This matter has caused a big stir. Now the entire Black Horn Region is in chaos. However, the sect-breaking pill that you auctioned has become much quieter recently because it fell into the hands of the Demon Flame Valley. The Demon Flame Valley is a veteran force in the Black Horn Region. There are two Douhuang peak powerhouses in the valley. There are not many forces in the Black Horn Region that dare to provoke the Demon Flame Valley."
Su Qian stroked his white beard and spoke calmly.
Although Canaan College does not intervene in disputes between forces, its intelligence system is not weak. Canaan College can obtain first-hand information on all major and minor events occurring in the Black Horn Region.
Yao Yan shook his head and retorted, "I don't think so. On the contrary, I think this is the beginning of chaos. I have heard about the Demon Flame Valley before. It is said that its first leader has been in seclusion. Before the seclusion, the opponent was a four-star Dou Zong-level strongman. Now that so many years have passed, it is hard to say whether he is still alive... Now that the Demon Flame Valley has obtained a sect-breaking pill, I think some forces may be unable to sit still."
"Maybe~"
Su Qian didn't care when he heard this. He would not pay attention to the ups and downs in the outside world as long as these things did not affect Canaan College.
Yao Yan said, "I plan to go out and see if there is a chance to destroy the Demon Flame Valley."
"?!"
Su Qian looked at Yao Yan in shock. He didn't expect him to say such a thing. With his five-star...six-star Dou Wang strength, how could he dare to say such a thing? But then he thought of Yao Yan's identity as a seventh-grade alchemist, and frowned for a moment: "Don't you think it's too risky? With your strength, if those people have bad intentions, how will you deal with it?"
A seventh-grade alchemist with the strength of a six-star Dou Wang is enough to make many people take risks, and even some outside forces will get involved.
Besides.
Yao Yan’s identity is also a big trouble. Doesn’t the other party worry that his information will be exposed?
"This should be the first time for you to face a seventh-grade alchemist." Yao Yan smiled, and a powerful soul power instantly emerged from his brows. The soul power that entered the spiritual realm was like a substance, emitting an invisible pressure, and enveloped Su Qian.
Su Qian's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Yao Yan in disbelief. Is the soul power of a seventh-grade alchemist so terrifying?
He had heard about some things about the soul realm of alchemists before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, let alone experienced it personally. How could he know that the soul power of a seventh-grade alchemist could reach such a terrifying level? Even as a two-star Dou Zong, he felt a little suffocated by the pressure. "...What level has your soul realm reached?" Su Qian asked after a moment of silence.
"He is about the high level of the Spirit Realm, still a little short of the Great Perfection, but he should have no problem dealing with ordinary five or six star Dou Zong."
Yao Yan spoke very frankly. Actually, what he said was a little modest. The main reason was that soul power was not good at fighting, and he did not understand soul fighting skills. If he met some practitioners with earth-level fighting skills, he would definitely suffer. This was also the difference between soul power and fighting spirit.
The strength of soul power lies in perception and control, while fighting spirit focuses on destructive power!
Yao Yan's frankness undoubtedly made Su Qian autistic. He had practiced for nearly half his life, but he was not as good as an eighteen-year-old "kid". This feeling was really indescribable.
"You may go if you wish."
Su Qian waved his hands weakly, obviously not wanting to say anything more to Yao Yan. He felt that this kid came to Canaan College specifically to attack him. Compared with the other party, he had gone through a lot in Canaan College over the years. The most talented students in history all became eclipsed and unremarkable in front of Yao Yan.
The gap between the two is really too big.
Yao Yan glanced at Zi Yan, and took out two drops of Earth Core Tempering Milk from the ring, saying, "If Zi Yan has any energy deficiency during the advancement process, please drop these two drops of Earth Core Tempering Milk on it."
This is to be on the safe side. The energy of heaven and earth in the Black Horn Region is not replenished in sufficient quantity. If advancement fails due to insufficient energy, that would be very troublesome.
"...You are really willing to do so."
Su Qian looked at the Earth-Tempering Body Milk handed over by Yao Yan, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say.
He was well aware of how precious this item was. To be frank, even some Dou Zong-level warriors would make a move for it.
Yao Yan smiled and said jokingly, "No matter how hard it is, it can't be hard on the children, right?"
"??"
Su Qian obviously didn't expect Yao Yan to say this, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"Great Elder, see you later." Yao Yan had no intention of chatting, so he bowed and said this. The wings of fighting spirit appeared behind him, and with a slight tremor, his figure soared into the air and immediately turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the direction of the Black Horn Region.
Su Qian watched Yao Yan leave and muttered to himself, "It seems that this kid wants to turn the entire Black Horn Region upside down!"
With Yao Yan's powerful soul power, how many of the strong men in the Black Horn Region can be his opponent, including the Demon Flame Valley. If that old thing died, it is estimated that this time they might really be wiped out.
He had no sympathy for this, as few of the forces in the Black Horn region were good people.
"I seem to have forgotten one thing..."
Su Qian suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but mutter something.
Hu Qian: ...
……
……
Black Seal City.
After being away for nearly a month, when Yao Yan returned, the Black Seal City was more lively than ever before, with heavy traffic and more powerful men mingling in it. However, the order had become better. Even some Douhuang-level strong men followed the rules obediently and did not dare to overstep the boundaries.
"It seems that Cai Lin is managing it pretty well..."
Yao Yan mingled among the crowd, taking it all in, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He had kept Cai Lin here in the first place for this very reason. When it came to controlling power, Cai Lin was undoubtedly more qualified than many people, so the position of queen was not gained in vain.
Soon, Yao Yan entered the City Lord's Mansion and met Cai Lin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Perhaps it was because it had been nearly a month. Cai Lin's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible resentment. She opened her red lips slightly with a touch of cold charm and sneered, "Young Master, your trip is over. You finally came back~"
"I didn't go there for fun, but to do serious business." Yao Yan didn't blush or feel anything. He was completely unmoved by Cai Lin's ridicule. He was like a sponge, allowing the other party to pierce into it without causing the slightest ripple.
"So the business is over?"
Cai Lin crossed her hands on her abdomen, her slender and charming waist twisted slightly, and her beautiful figure approached Yao Yan, questioning with cold eyes.
"Stop it... Yao Lao, how long do you want to watch the show?" Yao Yan interrupted Cai Lin's complaints, glanced at the shadow on the side, and said unhappily that the other party's ability to hide his tracks might be enough to deceive outsiders, but with his spiritual power, Yao Lao was no different from just standing there naked.
"Haha, I'm not here to watch the show. I just saw that you haven't seen each other for a long time and didn't want to disturb you from reminiscing about the past." Yao Lao stroked his white beard and said with a smile.
"You are still good at speaking nice words."
Yao Yan gave Yao Lao a thumbs up, feeling that the old man was quite eloquent, worthy of being the Yao Zun who had stirred up trouble in Zhongzhou in the past.
"How is it? Is it going well this time? Have you found any information about the Fallen Heart Flame?" Yao Lao's smile faded and he did not continue joking with Yao Yan. Instead, his tone became more serious and he asked in a deep voice, because if the Fallen Heart Flame really exists, then the day of his resurrection will be getting closer and closer.
As for Han Feng... he chose to ignore it for the time being. Obviously, Yao Lao had not thought clearly about whether to kill this evil disciple.
Yao Yan nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes!"
