High above the inner courtyard, Lin Feng and two white-haired elders from the academy faced each other, their expressions quite different. After a long while, Lin Feng spoke first.
"Elders, there's no need for your doubts. We even went together to wipe out the Ironclad Sect and built the massive Beast Lord City on the back mountain of the academy."
To dispel the elders' suspicions, Lin Feng recounted the events one by one.
"Phew!"
After a long while, the two elders finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces relaxed.
"Elder Lin Feng, if anything had happened to you, we would have failed the academy."
"Hahaha, yes, fortunately Elder Lin Feng escaped unharmed this time. This is truly a blessing for the academy!"
"Thank you both for your protection!"
Lin Feng slightly clasped his hands in thanks to the two elders for their protection.
"Hahaha, Elder Lin Feng, you're too kind. This is nothing more than a small matter. Let's hurry ahead and deal with those people from the Black Corner Region!"
"That's exactly what we're thinking!" * Whoosh!* As soon as they finished speaking, they transformed into streaks of lightning, each with its own unique light, and flew rapidly into the distance. *
Bang ! Bang! Bang! * After a series of loud noises, Han Feng and the two elders, Jin and Yin, were captured by Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor. *Pfft! * Han Feng and the two elders, Jin and Yin, were slammed to the ground, spitting out blood. They stared at the two women in the sky, their faces filled with fear. "How is this possible?" Han Feng's eyes were filled with disbelief. He simply couldn't believe that he, possessing the Sea Heart Flame, combined with the power of the two elders, had been utterly defeated by these two women in less than a quarter of an hour. "How could you be so strong? I don't believe it, it's impossible! How could I, Han Feng, possibly be defeated here? I still want to obtain the Burning Technique, devour the strange fire, and achieve the legendary Dou Sheng realm! I don't believe it!" No matter how hysterically Han Feng shouted, he couldn't change the cold expressions of Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor in the sky. With the two women's current realm, plus one being a Devouring Python with the bloodline of the Snake Clan's royal family, and the other possessing the Calamity Poison Body, and even having fused with the Netherworld Poison Fire, allowing her to release primordial poison gas without restraint, it could be said that even Lin Feng would have some difficulty dealing with them at the same realm. Not to mention Han Feng and the two elders, Jin and Yin, not to mention their combat talent, just their realm alone was enough for the two women to crush them. And if they didn't hold back, half a quarter of an hour would be more than enough to deal with the three of them. "Serpent Sealing Technique!" The Serpent Sealing Technique, which once caused the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the ten strongest warriors of the Dejiama Empire, unbearable pain, reappeared in Queen Medusa's hands. With a flick of her jade hands, several small, seven-colored snakes appeared in Cai Lin's hands. "Go!" The small, seven-colored snakes hissed and shrieked, disappearing into Han Feng's body before his wide eyes. Combined with the inheritance of the Devouring Python, the Serpent Sealing Technique could now seal even Han Feng, who possessed a strange fire. Visibly, the powerful Dou Zong aura on the three of them rapidly declined, falling to the level of only a high-level Dou Wang in the blink of an eye. "No," Han Feng and the two elders, feeling the cold and evil seal within their bodies, looked grim, cold sweat pouring down their faces, "My power!" The two elders were even more terrified than Han Feng. Although their talent was good, they had been lone wolves for years, relying on plunder and opportunities in ruins for all their cultivation resources. Over the years, they had suffered countless hidden injuries. Even more terrifying was the fact that their life force, greatly enhanced by reaching the Dou Zong realm, seemed to have been sealed away by this sealing technique. Their once rosy complexions had been altered as their Dou Qi was sealed, with crow's feet and age spots rapidly appearing. They weren't people who cared about their appearance, but rather, this likely meant they could perish at any moment, which terrified the cowardly Jin and Yin elders. "Heroine, my brother and I surrender! Please spare us! We are willing to obey your orders from now on!" "Yes, yes, heroine, spare our lives!" The Jin and Yin elders tried many methods but still couldn't remove the terrifying seven-colored snake. Unable to suppress their fear any longer, they quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. "Hmph! Cowards! This sect will never die at the hands of a woman!" Han Feng, struggling to his feet, sat up covered in blood. Seeing the Jin and Yin elders like this, he spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva, his face filled with disdain. "Mr. Han Feng is quite the man of backbone, I truly admire him!" Just then, a young voice slowly drifted from afar, and in the blink of an eye, several figures appeared before them. "Husband!" "Brother Lin Feng!" Upon seeing the newcomers, the coldness on Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor's faces instantly melted away. In a flash, the two of them appeared on either side of Lin Feng with remarkable coordination. "Lin Feng, this time our sect has lost, but our sect's talent in alchemy is definitely stronger than yours. Our sect has not lost yet," Han Feng suddenly burst into manic laughter, looking at Lin Feng and the two women standing in mid-air beside him, seemingly trying to salvage some last bit of dignity in alchemy. "Lin Feng, our sect's alchemy has reached the seventh rank. The difference between the sixth and seventh ranks is unimaginable. You will need at least ten years to reach that level. Our sect has not lost yet. Pfft!" Han Feng laughed while coughing up blood, as if he truly had not lost. Yao Chen, one of the figures, watched this scene, his expression suddenly becoming complicated. This was the child he had given everything to raise back then. Unfortunately, everything changed after that day. "Hahaha, Mr. Han Feng, actually, my alchemy skills only reached the seventh rank by sheer luck." Seeing the arrogant Han Feng, Lin Feng didn't indulge him. He flipped his hand, taking out a low-grade seventh-rank pill brimming with spiritual energy from his storage ring, suspending it in his palm. This sight caused Han Feng to cough up blood again, his expression instantly becoming dazed. Little Fairy Doctor, seeing this, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Brother Lin Feng still loves to tease people!" "Lin Feng, let this beast be dealt with by this old man himself!"
Yao Chen, who had been watching silently, suddenly spoke, his voice slightly hoarse. Perhaps this was the nature of parents; even if their children rebelled, seeing their miserable end brought no excitement or joy.
Even though Yao Chen had been betrayed by Han Feng, seeing Han Feng's fate now filled him with mixed emotions.
"Old man, you're happy to see this, aren't you!"
Han Feng suddenly shouted, his face grim.
"Bang!"
Just as Han Feng was about to say something, Lin Feng waved his hand, and a colorless streak of light knocked Han Feng unconscious. After all, although his relationship with Yao Chen was based on an exchange of benefits, without her help, Lin Feng wouldn't have achieved his current success.
Letting Han Feng continue speaking now would only harm Yao Chen; it was better to deal with him directly and wait until the dead of night for this long-separated master and disciple to vent their grievances.
As for the two elders, Jin and Yin, Lin Feng dealt with them easily. With their strength only at the initial Dou Zong realm, they were of little use to him now.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Demon Puppet's crafting method, things would be fine. But now, with a demon puppet completely obedient to him and capable of absorbing pill lightning to evolve, why would Lin Feng bother with it? Having two Dou Zongs with conflicting intentions, ready to turn against him at any moment, was something Lin Feng wasn't afraid of, but why waste his energy?
After carefully collecting the bodies and souls of the two elders, he left with Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor, leaving the place to Han Feng and his disciple Yao Chen. Xiao Yan also wisely left.
Meanwhile, when Lin Feng and his group arrived, Elder Su Qian and the others had already led the academy's people to capture everyone from the Black Corner Region.
With their combined strength as three Dou Zong level warriors, plus the assistance of numerous Dou Wang and Dou Huang elders, dealing with a group of Dou Wang and Dou Huang who were terrified and had no will to resist was a piece of cake.
"Elder Lin Feng!"
Elder Su Qian, who was considering how to deal with the Black Corner Region group, sensed the arrival of Lin Feng and his companions and asked.
"Elder Lin Feng, how did you deal with that black monster? Were you injured?"
Besides Elder Su Qian, Vice Dean Hu Qian and others also looked at Lin Feng with concern.
"Hahaha, thank you for your concern, Elder Su Qian and all the elders. I have sealed that black monster away. I will deal with it properly when I have time in the future."
"Elder Lin Feng's methods are still as powerful and sharp as ever!"
Elder Su Qian said with emotion. When Lin Feng was at the Dou Wang and Dou Huang level, he dared to venture deep into the back mountain of the academy and negotiate with many monster kings from the former enemy academy.
Now, even the Beast Lord City has been established, improving the relationship between the academy and magical beasts. This mutual exchange not only resolved the academy's concerns in this area but also brought a continuous stream of rare and precious materials.
After all, students with advanced alchemy skills have a tremendous advantage when trading. And this advanced alchemy skill is thanks to the inheritance of advanced alchemy skills brought by Lin Feng.
Thinking of this, Elder Su Qian couldn't help but thank heaven once again for bringing a genius like Lin Feng to the academy.
"Elder Lin Feng, what do you think should be done with these lawless Black Horn Domain thugs?"
Hearing Elder Su Qian's question, Lin Feng crossed his arms, looked down at the Black Horn Domain people lying on the ground, and pondered deeply.
"Master Lin Feng, spare our lives!"
"Master, spare our lives! We were bewitched by Han Feng! I have always held Canaan Academy in high esteem, like a mighty waterfall stretching for thousands of miles deep in the Monster Mountain Range, Master!"
"Master, I have a two-hundred-year-old grandmother and children born just last month to raise! Please spare my life!"
"If you are willing to spare my life, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life!"
"..."
Hearing Su Qian hand over the power of disposal to Lin Feng, the people of the Black Corner Region, who had been struggling on the ground and seemed to be seriously injured, quickly got up, knelt down, and begged for mercy.
"Do you really realize your mistakes?"
Looking at these treacherous and cunning people, now crying and wailing, as if they really believed they had done something unforgivable and were eager for forgiveness, Lin Feng found it somewhat amusing.
"Master, I truly know my mistake!"
"Yes, yes, Master, we are willing to serve you like a slave!"
Hearing
that Lin Feng seemed to have the intention to forgive them, these shameless people from the Black Corner Region exchanged glances with delighted expressions. "This young man seems easy to fool. Brothers, give it your all and let's get rid of him!"
However, they didn't know that Lin Feng wasn't some delicate flower. His soul, having transmigrated from another world, possessed some social survival experience. And after so many years of honing his skills, he could even exploit information asymmetry to gain advantage from a centuries-old fox like Yao Chen.
This was something no ordinary person could do.
Looking at the struggling, bloodied figure whose eyes revealed a cunning and ruthless nature, Lin Feng knew that their hatred for the academy was something they would avenge no matter what. The best way to deal with it now was to kill!
Only by completely eliminating them physically could this root of trouble be eliminated.
"Since that's the case, Elder, my suggestion is to kill them all as a warning, to the Black Corner Region and even the entire Northwest Continent, that the academy must not be offended!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing the murderous intent in Lin Feng's tone, Elder Su Qian stroked his beard and laughed excitedly, "Elder Lin Feng is right, only by completely eliminating them can the students have no worries!"
"You murderous wretch, I will not let you go!"
"You won't live much longer, my descendants will definitely seek revenge on you in the future!"
"..."
Knowing that they had no hope of survival, these people from the Black Corner Region immediately began to curse in despair, their attitude completely opposite to before. Of course, there were also some ruthless people who had long since given up hope, only staring at them with sinister eyes, trying to find an opportunity to severely injure their executioners.
Watching this scene, Lin Feng's eyes remained unmoved. He knew that this was not about right or wrong, but simply because the academy's power was greater.
If Han Feng had invited a Dou Zun-level elder, and he hadn't received the protection of the Dragon Emperor's blood essence, and the ancient clan member who hadn't appeared from beginning to end still hadn't shown up,
and the academy's old dean hadn't returned either, then today's outcome would have been entirely different. Therefore, these people weren't worth pitying; they only strengthened his resolve to become stronger.
It wasn't about bullying others; it was simply because he didn't want what happened to the people of the Black Corner Region today to happen to him one day.
