Wonderful, really wonderful.

Xiao Yan: "."

I can't live without love.

All of this was, of course, something Zhang Yuan did intentionally.

To prevent Xiao Yanzi from getting too "arrogant".

Meanwhile, outside the sprawling mountain range within the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, the figure of the "Eagle Protector" appeared out of thin air, his surrounding black mist unstable.

Following his gaze, you can see a small town.

This town is called Maple City. Although it is not large, it holds a pivotal position in the Black Corner Region.

The reason is that the town's owner is named Han Feng, a peak sixth-grade alchemist, the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, and he has good relations with many forces and independent experts in the Black Corner Region, holding a transcendent status.

A sixth-grade alchemist is extremely rare across the entire continent. They possess a powerful influence, and even ordinary Dou Huang or Dou Zong experts treat them with great respect.

In the very center of Maple City, there is a quiet bamboo forest, seemingly a world apart from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

This forest is heavily guarded, with a Dou Wang level expert leading a Dou Ling level team to guard it. Ordinary people would not dare to even approach it, let alone enter, lest they be regarded as malicious individuals by the guards and killed at will.

This place is also considered a forbidden zone by many people in Maple City.

Deep within the bamboo forest stands a bamboo house built from sixth-tier Heavenly Frost Jade Bamboo, resembling an emerald fortress and emanating a tranquil fragrance that soothes the soul.

Inside a bamboo room atop the bamboo building, a young man dressed in a specially made alchemist's robe sat cross-legged, intently studying a pill formula. Suddenly, he looked up, his eyes sharpening.

The man was quite handsome, with slightly thin lips pursed tightly, exuding a cold and stern aura, yet possessing a strange charm: "Since you're here, why not show yourself?"

Jie Jie Jie!

Accompanied by a strange laugh, a cloud of black mist appeared.

Han Feng's pupils contracted, and he said, "The people from the Soul Hall, were you the one who attacked Canaan Academy just now?"

“Indeed, it is I, the Protector.” Zhang Yuan said in a hoarse voice.

"I do not know the name of the Dharma Protector." Han Feng's gaze narrowed slightly.

He wasn't afraid of the Soul Palace protectors, because he could contact the Soul Palace elders at any time.

"I am the Eagle Protector," Zhang Yuan said with a cacophony of voice. "I come from the Central Plains and have something I wish to discuss with you, the Medicine Emperor."

"With the strength of the Soul Palace, they should look down on my meager strength." Han Feng did not immediately agree.

“This is not Zhongzhou.” Zhang Yuan said coldly, “If you want to deal with Canaan Academy, I alone am not enough, but if you want to gather enough people in the Black Corner Region, you are more suitable than me.”

Han Feng's eyes sharpened, and he pondered for a moment before asking, "What would I gain if I helped the protector?"

“Strange Fire,” Zhang Yuan uttered.

Han Feng's pupils contracted, and his breathing became slightly rapid as he asked, "Does the Protector possess a strange fire?"

“I, the Protector, do not have it, but Canaan Academy does.” Zhang Yuan’s voice was like a chilling wind, carrying killing intent: “I am here on orders to investigate the fall of a Celestial Venerable, and Canaan Academy is the most suspicious.”

"When I entered Canaan Academy to investigate, I was quickly discovered by two high-level Dou Zong. However, I discovered that there was a Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Burning Heaven Refining Tower in the inner courtyard, and the aura of that Heavenly Venerable was present beneath this Fallen Heart Flame."

"I wish to inspect the Heaven-Burning Qi Refining Tower, and as an alchemist, you, Medicine Emperor, surely are not uninterested in strange fires?"

"Of course." Han Feng was overjoyed.

If he were an ordinary alchemist, he wouldn't be interested in the "Eagle Protector's" suggestion, because he already possessed a strange flame called the Sea Heart Flame.

However, he also possesses an incomplete Burning Technique, which allows him to attempt to devour a second type of strange fire. This would greatly benefit his strength and alchemy skills, so naturally, he cannot let it go.

"There is indeed a strange fire within Canaan Academy. My senses were correct."

"I didn't expect it to be the fourteenth ranked Fallen Heart Flame."

A fiery glint flashed in Han Feng's eyes as he said, "I agree to this collaboration."

He didn't haggle, because the "two high-level Dou Zong" mentioned by the "Eagle Protector" was something he didn't know. Including the Inner Court's Grand Elder Su Qian, there were at least three Dou Zong powerhouses.

Eagle Guardian, a high-level Dou Zong, is an indispensable combat force.

"Hehehe, the Medicine King is quite straightforward." Zhang Yuan chuckled. "I thought I would have to bring up the matter of Yao Chen from back then to force you to obey."

Han Feng's body trembled, and he asked in a trembling voice, "How did you know about this?"

"Heh heh, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place." Zhang Yuan said sinisterly, "At this moment, you are cooperating with my Soul Palace. What's so strange about this protector knowing?"

"You'd better not talk about this outside," Han Feng threatened. "That old man helped a lot of people back then, especially Venerable Feng. If he finds out what your Soul Palace has done, he will definitely fight to the death."

"Heh heh, just a mere Starfall Pavilion." Zhang Yuan took arrogance to the extreme: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

"Based on what this guardian has detected, the seal on the Fallen Heart Flame will be lifted in three months."

"During this time, if you gather enough people, I will assist you in storming the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy."

"Now that you have obtained the strange fire, I, the Dharma Protector, will enter the world beneath it."

Han Feng's expression was gloomy, but he dared not say anything. He could only nod in agreement: "I understand. I will definitely call enough people when the time comes."

The "Eagle Protector" laughed strangely and vanished into black mist.

Once he could no longer sense any fluctuations in his soul, Han Feng's gaze turned terrifyingly cold.

"How dare you threaten me? Even if you are a protector of the Soul Palace, humph."

Chapter 189 A Powerful Breakthrough to Dou Zong! The Gate of Dimensions?

Han Feng's eyes gleamed with undisguised ferocity.

If he ever has enough, he will definitely destroy the Soul Palace.

"Han Beng!"

After a moment of contemplation, Han Feng suddenly spoke.

A figure appeared before him like a ghost, kneeling on one knee with a respectful expression: "Master."

"Send someone to inform all the sect leaders of the Earth Flame Sect, Blood Sect, Rakshasa Gate, and Mad Lion Gang that they must come to Maple City tomorrow morning. I have important business that requires their help." Han Feng took out some specially made "maple leaf" shaped tokens.

This token represents Han Feng's identity. Using the token, one can ask Han Feng to refine pills once. This is his sincerity and reward for asking someone to help.

"Please personally deliver these two tokens to that place and ask the two gentlemen to come as well."

After handing over the first batch of tokens, Han Feng took out two more tokens, one gold and one silver.

Han Beng extended his hands and respectfully accepted the gold and silver tokens. A look of emotion appeared on his deathly face: "Master, these two lords don't make a move easily. It won't be easy for you to offer them something they covet."

Han Feng waved his hand calmly: "Just do as you say."

As long as we can seize the strange fire, it won't be difficult to refine what those two want.

"Yes!" Han Beng said no more. Seeing that Han Feng had no other instructions, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Han Feng slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and gazed at the mountains controlled by Canaan Academy in the distance, a deep blue flame appearing in his eyes.

"The Fallen Heart Flame, I have been searching for it for many years, but I never expected to find one right in front of me, hidden deep in the mountains under the Burning Heaven Refining Tower."

"As long as I obtain this strange flame and refine it, I can..."

Han Feng was filled with excitement, and a look of fervor appeared on his face.

But the next moment, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart, instinctively reached out to cover it, frowned, and let out a series of rapid coughs.

After a while, the strangeness subsided, and Han Feng took a deep breath to calm down. His dark eyes were filled with hatred and boundless rage: "Damn old man, it's all because you didn't hand over the Burning Technique to me back then that so many troubles have arisen."

"What nonsense about being morally corrupt? My talent for alchemy is far superior to yours, and my future achievements will surely surpass yours. You raised me with your own hands, so everything in the Starfall Pavilion belongs to me. I will naturally take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days."

With nowhere to vent his anger, Han Feng decided to add another layer of protection.

Illusory wings sprouted from his back, and his figure soared into the air, disappearing into the clouds.

After he disappeared, spatial ripples appeared in the void, and the "Eagle Protector" hidden in the black mist appeared, his eyes filled with expectation: "Han Feng, don't disappoint me."

The "Eagle Protector" disappeared, then, following his memory, found a contact point of the Black Corner Domain Soul Hall and explained the situation to the Northwest Continent branch. He sent a request for help.

After doing all this, the "Eagle Protector" began to roam the Black Corner again, engaging in entrapment and law enforcement activities.

Time flies like an arrow; almost three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the chaotic and turbulent Black Corner remained unchanged on the surface. Occasionally, there were cases of women being raped in the street, but more often, there were mindless men being killed by women. Every day, countless pieces of information flowed out of the area, and countless pieces of information flowed in from the outside.

Every day, strong people die, and every day, strong people pour in from the outside. It is full of death, challenges, and temptations.

However, even those with strength exceeding that of a Battle King sensed a hidden danger beneath this seemingly ordinary storm, a danger that was about to erupt.

And the person who started all of this finally found a way to break through.

"boom!"

Within this realm, the energy of heaven and earth surrounding the Azure Netherworld Dragon Blood Pool suddenly began to surge violently, visibly fluctuating.

This scene immediately caught the attention of Qing Yanjing, Xun'er, and the other women, who rushed to the scene immediately, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"This commotion is much greater than when I broke through two months ago." Little Fairy Doctor placed her hands on her lower abdomen, her bright eyes filled with anticipation.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor was floating in the air, clearly having already become a Dou Zong.

What would have taken her seven years to complete was accomplished in less than four years with Zhang Yuan's help.

"boom!"

As Little Fairy Doctor finished speaking, the energy of heaven and earth within the Void Realm seemed to be drawn by some force, frantically converging towards the Azure Nether Yellow Spring Dragon Blood Pool.

On the surface of the blood pool, a vortex several tens of feet in size appeared. At the very center of the vortex was a pitch-black void, like the gaping maw of a gluttonous beast devouring the energy of heaven and earth above.

"Brother Yuan broke through to the Dou Zong level in less than a year. When I also break through in the Blood Pool, Father will be very surprised." Xun'er stood alone like a lavender, dignified and quiet, with a proud smile on her face.

She made a promise with Gu Yuan that Zhang Yuan would break through to the Dou Zong realm within two years, and if he failed, she would have to return to her family.

Thanks to the treasures in Danxuzi and the Elder of Vitality's "tomb," as well as the soul essence left behind by Hun Mieqing, Zhang Yuan was able to make rapid progress in all aspects.

Of course, not everyone can cultivate at the bottom of the Blood Pool. If an ordinary Dou Huang were to enter, he would be considered exceptionally talented if he could persist for a few days, let alone three months.

Zhang Yuan was able to endure for so long not only because of his powerful physical body, but also mainly because of the help of the strange fire, which could temper the poison in the dragon blood.

The combination of Azure Netherworld Dragon Blood, Seven Dragons Thunderfire, and a top-tier Earth-rank cultivation technique allowed Zhang Yuan to achieve such rapid advancement.

"boom!"

The energy within the Taixu Realm vibrated more and more violently, directly converging into clouds and raining down spiritual liquid, which continuously flowed into the vortex.
