In an unnamed mountain range somewhere in the Chuyun Empire, the ancient gray aura that had permeated the surrounding area for countless years was now boiling and burning fiercely.
"Rumble!"
Intense battle fluctuations echoed continuously from within the mountain range. Although the Netherworld Poisonous Fire ranked one place lower than the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire refined by Lin Feng on the Strange Fire Ranking, and even its power was only at the early to mid-stage of the Dou Huang level, the pervasive poisonous gas had created a poisonous domain around the area.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Feng and Zi Yan, these two monsters, couldn't be judged solely by their cultivation level, an ordinary Dou Huang would likely perish under this poisonous gas.
Moreover, although Lin Feng used the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to suppress it to some extent, perhaps due to the mysterious nature of strange fires, while the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire exerted tremendous suppression, it also provoked a strong resistance.
As time passed, Lin Feng and Zi Yan, working together, gradually suppressed it, but Lin Feng's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Zi Yan, go all out! We must take him down as soon as possible." After a quick retreat, Lin Feng turned slightly to Zi Yan and said. "There's a violent fluctuation here. The fluctuations of this strange fire must have been sensed by everyone in the Chu Yun Empire."
"Moreover," Lin Feng paused, his expression grave, "this poisonous strange fire isn't just effective against alchemists. In fact, for poison masters who revere poison, it's a treasure more attractive than any spiritual object."
"Alright, let's see how I deal with this guy!"
Zi Yan's expression also turned serious. Lin Feng had said that the Chu Yun Empire might be hiding a Dou Zong level expert. Having been in contact with Su Qian for many years, she knew that she was no match for a Dou Zong at the moment. Even with Lin Feng, the Chu Yun Empire was full of powerful experts. At that time, she would not only have to protect the strange fire but also take care of Sister Xian'er. That would be a difficult situation.
"Ancient Dragon Seal!"
Zi Yan shouted, clapping her hands together. A seal radiating endless dragon might slowly appeared. This was because, after sensing the dragon attribute aura of Lin Feng's Five Elements Sealing Technique, some of the inheritance within their bloodlines awakened.
"Five Elements Sealing Technique—Five Saints' Ultimate Kill!"
At the same time, Lin Feng clapped his hands, his fighting spirit surging forth. Even more terrifying, a cyan flame suddenly erupted from deep within Lin Feng's body, merging into the Five Elements Sealing Technique under his control.
Seemingly sensing a fatal crisis, the Netherworld Poisonous Fire disregarded its foundation, rapidly gathering the gray energy from the mountain range and quickly merging it into its source.
"Sizzle."
After reaching a certain point, the Netherworld Poisonous Fire suddenly emitted a strange burning sound, and at the same time, gray energy appeared on the surfaces of Lin Feng and Zi Yan. If it weren't for the poison pill given by Little Fairy Doctor, and refined with the essence of poison, they might have been suppressed at this moment. Before
the Netherworld
Poisonous Flame could reach its peak, Lin Feng and Zi Yan once again displayed the terrifying power of the Black and White Duo, shifting to the left and right of the flame in a few flashes, unleashing two powerful hand seals.
After a deafening roar, the gray aura that had permeated this unknown mountain range for countless years slowly dissipated. Although gray auras from other regions constantly flowed into the Chuyun Empire,
even after replenishing it, without the Netherworld Poisonous Flame, it would be difficult to return to its original state.
After sealing the Netherworld Poisonous Flame within the lotus seat of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Lin Feng applied multiple seals to completely seal its aura, preventing any leakage.
"Zi Yan, let's quickly find Xian'er, and then leave the Chuyun Empire immediately."
After storing the lotus seat in a separate storage ring, Lin Feng said something to Zi Yan.
Zi Yan nodded, realizing the situation was dire. The two quickly found Little Fairy Doctor, intending to leave on the Xuanwu.
"Gentlemen, what have you obtained here? Please wait!"
Just as Lin Feng and his companions were about to leave, several aged voices rang out, followed by several elderly men with gray wings blocking their way. As time passed, more and more figures arrived.
Among them were at least Dou Wang level experts, and even Dou Huang level experts were present. Not to mention some treacherous individuals lurking in the shadows, attempting to launch a sneak attack.
"Master Lin Feng, what is this?"
Just as Lin Feng was pondering a solution, a familiar voice rang in their ears. Looking up, they saw members of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, led by none other than the Poison Emperor.
"So it's Senior Poison Emperor. I obtained some treasures here, but these people stopped me." The Poison Emperor's appearance didn't bring Lin Feng much joy. Even if the Poison Emperor had traded with him before, if he knew Lin Feng possessed a poison-attribute strange fire, he might try to snatch it.
Of course, even if it meant going against the entire Chuyun Empire, Lin Feng wasn't afraid, because he had a trump card ready to be used; now he just had to wait for time to pass.
"Master Lin Feng, rest assured, with my Ten Thousand Poison Cave here, we will certainly not let you be harmed in the slightest."
"Heh, Poison Emperor, what a boastful tone! I wonder if you really intend to make an enemy of the entire Chuyun Empire for this pretty boy?" As
soon as the Poison Emperor finished speaking, someone in the crowd spoke up. Judging from their hiding place, it was unclear whether they were afraid to offend the Poison Emperor because of their own insufficient cultivation, or simply wanted to stir up trouble and incite hostility towards the Poison Emperor and the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
"Hmph! You cowardly rat, how dare you speak to me like that!"
Unexpectedly, the Poison Emperor waved his hand, suddenly unleashing a secret technique from the Myriad Poison Cave at a middle-aged Dou Wang with a generic face in the crowd, severely injuring him.
"You dare to provoke me? Have you forgotten my reputation?!"
After injuring him, the Poison Emperor waved his hand with great charisma, speaking domineeringly.
"Everyone, today, Master Lin Feng is protected by my Myriad Poison Cave. Anyone who makes a move will be an enemy of my Myriad Poison Cave. Everyone, think carefully!"
It turned out that Lin Feng had secretly transmitted a message to the Poison Emperor, offering him a Breakthrough Pill personally refined by Lin Feng if he could intimidate the group. Upon hearing this news, the Poison Emperor was overjoyed. He was already a high-level Dou Huang; if he could consume Lin Feng's Emperor-grade pill, he would be close to the peak of Dou Huang.
If he had a Breakthrough Pill at that time, he would have a very high chance of breaking through to Dou Zong, and could then truly dominate Chuyun. Therefore, the Poison King accepted the invitation without hesitation.
"What if it were I who wished to intervene?"
