While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 108 Han Feng: The advantage is mine!

at night.

On a mountain peak, several figures stood.

With his exceptional eyesight, he could see a sizable city at the far end of his line of sight.

"In Maple City, the strongest person is undoubtedly Han Feng. He is at the peak of Dou Huang, wields the Sea Heart Flame, which ranks fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, and is also the first disciple of that Medicine Venerable. He certainly has many tricks up his sleeve."

"Besides Han Feng, there are five other Dou Wang powerhouses stationed here in Feng City, obeying his orders. One of them, Han Beng, is Han Feng's absolute confidant and is extremely loyal to him. The others are of average strength and not worth mentioning."

"Of course, this is only the surface strength of Maple City. Han Feng, as a sixth-grade alchemist, has connections with many leaders of various forces in the Black Corner Region, and is especially close to a Dou Huang powerhouse known as Elder Ban. If we give him time to call for reinforcements, killing him will be extremely troublesome. Therefore, we must act quickly and decisively, killing him in one strike!"

Chen Xiao stood in front of the group and told them about the situation in Maple City.

Having spent so much time in the Black Corner Region, he and Zi Yan had already thoroughly understood the strength of Maple City.

"Next, we'll split up. The three of us—me, Fourth Elder, and Cao Ying—will lure Han Feng out and kill him as quickly as possible!"

"Elder Hai, Little Fairy Doctor, wait here. Once you see Han Feng leave Maple City, you can directly storm the city. Leave no survivors among those above the Dou Wang level. As for those below Dou Wang, we'll see if they know what's good for them. Those who surrender will live, and those who don't will be spared!"

Cao Xi was the master of the Four Stars Dipper!

He could easily deal with Han Feng on his own.

With the addition of Queen Medusa inside the Little Devouring Python, the success rate of killing Han Feng in one fell swoop is extremely high.

Even if the Soul Palace Protector hidden in the Black Corner Region were to appear, it would be difficult to turn the tide!

As for Fengcheng, with the strength of Little Fairy Doctor and Hai Bodong, dealing with several Dou Wangs is a piece of cake.

Hearing Chen Xiao's arrangements, everyone nodded slightly.

"What about me? What should I do?"

Zi Yan voiced her dissatisfaction. Everyone else had something to do, but she wasn't assigned anything, which was not the outcome she wanted.

"Don't rush, it's your turn next. Ziyan, your spatial talent is exceptional, and you're especially sensitive to rare and precious materials. You'll be responsible for finding the treasure vault in Fengcheng. Don't let Han Beng destroy it before he dies; those are all our spoils of war. Also, if anything unexpected happens along the way, notify us immediately."

Most powers possess a treasure trove; this is beyond doubt.

Although Han Feng is the type to carry most of his most precious possessions with him, the total value of what he left in Feng City is definitely not low.

The brain circuits of the people in the Black Corner Region are very peculiar. Chen Xiao once witnessed some small forces fighting each other. Even if they died, they would not let the other party get away with it. Destroying the treasure vault was just routine.

Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions.

Upon hearing her task, Zi Yan finally smiled with satisfaction.

She really enjoys looting!

"Okay, I'll take care of it!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the group. "Does anyone still have any questions?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Even Cao Xi, a powerful Dou Zong, had no objections and let Chen Xiao make arrangements.

"Alright, let's get started!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao quickly dashed away into the distance to find a suitable burial place for Han Feng.

Cao Xi and Cao Ying followed closely behind.

In less than fifteen minutes, Chen Xiao stopped at the top of a small valley a hundred miles away.

"Fourth Elder, shall we wait for Han Feng here?"

"The scenery is beautiful, it's a good place to be buried."

Cao Xi chuckled and replied.

Although he thought Chen Xiao was a bit too cautious, he couldn't say much since he was just helping out.

"How do you plan to lure Han Feng out?"

"This is where Cao Ying comes in."

Seeing the two men looking at her, Cao Ying's heart stirred, and she quickly understood.

"Strange Fire!"

"Indeed, strange flames have an irresistible allure for alchemists. Although Han Feng already possesses the Sea Heart Flame, as far as I know, he is still searching for other strange flames."

"Does he really want to refine a second one? Isn't that a bit wishful thinking?"

Cao Ying was very puzzled by Han Feng's intentions.

Under normal circumstances, a person can only control one different kind of fire; this is common knowledge.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao mentioned that Han Feng possessed a Sea Heart Flame, she and Cao Xi didn't pay much attention to it.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Sea Core Flame are ranked not much different, and they are already very satisfied to have successfully refined one of them.

"The world is vast and full of wonders. Zi Yan and I secretly observed Han Feng in the Black Corner Region for several years. This person seems to have cultivated a very strange technique. Perhaps it is not impossible that he can really refine multiple different flames."

The Burning Technique had no effect on Chen Xiao, so he naturally had no intention of keeping it a secret.

Taking this opportunity, he wanted to see if Cao Ying was interested in it.

If Cao Ying is interested, and the terms are agreed upon, it would be perfectly acceptable to let her cultivate the Burning Technique and refine the three different flames in the future.

After all, to solve Little Fairy Doctor's problem, three different kinds of strange fire are needed, which is an unavoidable difficulty.

Chen Xiao had considered finding three alchemists, each possessing a unique flame, and working together, they might be able to help Little Fairy Doctor condense a poison pill.

However, this approach is undoubtedly more troublesome than training a single person, and it's uncertain whether it's truly feasible.

As for whether Cao Ying can successfully refine the three different flames after cultivating the Burning Technique...

That's actually a minor issue.

The difficulty in refining a different kind of fire lies mainly in the fire's power and one's own strength.

Aside from the Sea Heart Flame, Chen Xiao could easily prepare another Strange Flame ranked lower on the Strange Flame Ranking for her. With the Cao family's help, Cao Ying's chances of success would be extremely high.

"Simultaneously refining multiple different types of flames..."

Cao Ying's eyes sparkled; just imagining it made her yearn for it.

She wasn't very interested in cultivation; as long as her own strength could support the consumption of medicine refining, that was enough.

But she genuinely loved alchemy.

The benefits of different types of fire to alchemists are self-evident.

"Is this really possible?"

Listening to Cao Ying's murmur, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, feeling even more confident.

He immediately dropped the subject, leaving Cao Ying in suspense.

"We'll talk about these things later. Now, summon the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Different flames can sense each other when they get close. We're not far from Maple City, so Han Feng should be able to detect the presence of a different flame here through the Sea Core Flame."

Cao Ying snapped out of her daze and nodded slightly.

Without hesitation, she extended her jade hand, and with a thought, azure flames began to rise gently from her palm.

Seeing that the bait had been cast, Chen Xiao took out the jade bottle containing the small Devouring Python from his sleeve.

Chen Xiao poured out the drowsy little Devouring Python, fed it a bottle of Fire Spirit Elixir, and then patted the little guy's head.

"Your Majesty, it's time to fulfill our agreement. After dealing with Han Feng, Zi Yan and I will take you to Canaan Academy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little Devouring Python did not react, continuing to leisurely rub his fingertips.

Chen Xiao felt a sense of suspicion. It had been more than half a month since Queen Medusa last appeared, long past the time she had said she couldn't disturb her.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao recalled the enchanting scene when Queen Medusa appeared last time.

Is this woman worried that the same scenario will repeat itself?

With a sudden thought, Chen Xiao picked up the small Devouring Python with two fingers and placed it on the ground.

It was at this moment that a familiar bright light appeared, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness.

After the light disappeared, the three of them stared intently and saw a bewitching figure slowly emerge.

Chen Xiao looked around, his gaze quickly settling on Queen Medusa's lower body.

It wasn't that he was filthy; it was just that, at this moment, the exotic snake tail on Queen Medusa's body had transformed into a pair of extremely alluring long legs.

She was barefoot, seemingly standing on the ground, but upon closer inspection, one could see that her feet were three inches off the ground, completely suspended in mid-air!

"Congratulations, young friend, you have gained a Dou Zong as your assistant."

Cao Xi laughed as he spoke, his words undoubtedly proving Queen Medusa's strength.

At this moment, Queen Medusa is a genuine Dou Zong powerhouse!

Even though he has only just entered the Dou Zong realm, he is still far superior to the peak Dou Huang realm.

"Congratulations!"

Chen Xiao and Cao Ying also offered their congratulations.

Queen Medusa wanted to clarify that her relationship with Chen Xiao was one of cooperation, not assistance, and certainly not that of a supportive wife.

However, due to Cao Xi's status, Queen Medusa hesitated for a moment but did not speak up to explain. She simply nodded slightly to the three of them as a polite response.

...

Meanwhile, in Maple City.

In the very center of this city, there is a bamboo forest, an extremely quiet and secluded environment, which is like a completely different style from the overall style of Black Corner.

However, this secluded bamboo forest is the most central place in the entire Maple City. It is heavily guarded, and not only outsiders, but even people from within Maple City can only enter and leave it.

This is because Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor whom many powerful figures in the Black Corner Region strive to curry favor with, resides in this bamboo building!

Inside the bamboo building, in a tall bamboo room by the window, a handsome man who looked to be around thirty years old was sitting cross-legged.

His long black hair fell to his shoulders, and his lips were slightly thin and often tightly pursed, giving him a cold and stern look. Judging from his appearance alone, this Medicine King Han Feng was exactly the kind of cold-hearted person people often talked about.

At this moment, Han Feng was dressed in an alchemist's robe, his mind completely absorbed in a prescription in his hand, appearing very focused.

Putting aside his character, Han Feng's talent in cultivation and alchemy is quite remarkable, which is why he was accepted as a disciple by Yao Chen.

Unfortunately, they played a winning hand terribly...

While he was quietly deep in thought, Han Feng, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head and his sharp gaze shot straight toward the northern horizon.

There, he sensed a strange energy fluctuation that was also vaguely familiar!

"This feeling."

With the scroll in his hand slowly tapping his forehead, Han Feng murmured softly, countless pieces of information flashing through his mind. After a short while, the scroll tapping his forehead suddenly stiffened, and he abruptly stood up.

A hand emerged from the sleeve, and a cluster of deep blue flames, like clear lake water, rose up.

Under Han Feng's gaze, the flame in his palm moved on its own without wind, constantly swaying towards the north, as if something there was attracting it.

Seeing this, Han Feng's eyes flashed like lightning, and he once again shot towards the source of the energy fluctuations.

"It really is the fluctuation of a different kind of fire! It's in the same direction as Canaan Academy, but not Canaan Academy. It's very close to Maple City!"

With a burning gaze fixed on the distant horizon, Han Feng suddenly turned around after a long while and shouted in a deep voice.

"Han collapsed!"

The words had barely faded when a figure, as swift as a ghost, appeared, kneeling on one knee. Though hoarse, the figure remained respectful: "What are your orders, Master?"

"Go quickly and find Elder Ban. Tell him to come to Maple City within an hour. I have urgent business that requires his help!"

Ban Lao, a Dou Huang powerhouse ranked high on the Black List!

Upon hearing the order, the man called Han Beng bowed his head in response and vanished from the bamboo building in a flash.

Han Feng paid no attention to any of that; he stared at the northern horizon, his eyes gleaming with a light of 'wisdom'.

He knew the area within tens of thousands of miles of Maple City like the back of his hand, and there was no way that there could be any strange fire there.

The sudden appearance of an unknown flame can only mean one thing.

This strange flame has an owner!

The owner of that strange fire happened to pass through the Black Corner Region and used the strange fire, which is why he became aware of it.

Therefore, if one wishes to obtain this strange fire, one must think twice before acting.

After all, someone who can refine a strange flame must be quite powerful, which is why he sent someone to notify Elder Ban to come.

Ban Lao is a Seven-Star Dou Huang, so it would be safer for the two of them to go on the investigation together.

Once he has a clear understanding of the other party's situation, he can decide whether to take action on the spot or call for reinforcements again!

As for giving up…

This option is not in Han Feng's dictionary.

He never lets go of anything he sets his sights on.

For the sake of burning the secret technique, he could attack Yao Chen, who regarded him as his own son, without any psychological burden, let alone a stranger.

"The Sea Heart Flame is overjoyed, showing no sign of fear. This strange flame is likely ranked after the Sea Heart Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking..."

The more Han Feng thought about it, the more confident he felt.

With a light laugh, he took out two ice-blue jade bottles from his storage ring, their chill penetrating to the bone.

This was originally prepared by him for the possible existence of that strange fire in Canaan Academy.

Unexpectedly, before it was even confirmed whether Canaan Academy possessed any strange flames, a new strange flame was discovered.

"Finally, I can use you!"
