Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Upon hearing Zhuque's words, the Evil Eye gradually turned black, and the evil energy in the world rapidly gathered towards it.

However, all of this had no effect on Suzaku.

"How long are you going to suppress me, you mere remnant spirit!"

The Evil Eye roared, unleashing a burst of extremely dark energy that was breathtaking. If the Evil Eye had actually launched that attack, the Empress would definitely not have been able to defend against it.

Han Feng's domineering pupils narrowed slightly when he saw the attack unleashed by the Evil Eye.

"A demigod..."

This attack contained a strong domain power, which was completely incomprehensible to an outsider. However, Han Feng knew that the being behind the Evil Eye had probably already reached the Saint level.

The Vermilion Bird slowly exhaled a flame, its symbiotic flame, the Southern Bright Fire.

The moment this fire appeared, it dispelled the evil spirits of heaven and earth.

Han Feng sensed the powerful laws contained within the Nanming Li Fire and knew that it was a flame that was in no way inferior to a different kind of fire!

People often have a prejudice that beast fire is inferior to strange fire.

The reason is that strange fire is very rare, while beast fire is more common.

However, some of the top-tier flames among beast fires are in no way inferior to exotic fires; it's just that ordinary cultivators simply cannot come into contact with them.

The moment the Vermilion Bird manipulated the Southern Bright Fire and touched the dark energy, it began to spread towards it.

The evil energy, which was originally adept at corrosive effects, didn't even dare to get close to the Vermilion Bird.

Go back to your old place!

The Vermilion Bird's pupils flashed, and a surge of power directly submerged the Evil Eye.

In the firelight, Evil Eye seemed to know that the situation was settled, so it stopped struggling and just looked at Vermilion Bird with an extremely hateful gaze.

The Evil Eye slowly closed and dissipated into the Purple Shattered Ruins.

The calamity that threatened the entire Southern Li Empire was easily resolved in front of Zhuque.

The Vermilion Bird continued flying into the sky, and the flames on its body suddenly expanded several times over.

He was like the sun, dispelling all the gloom.

Within the Purple Shattered Ruins, the evil energy has significantly diminished.

Outside the Purple Shattered Ruins, light shone down on the soldiers, warm and comforting, purifying all the remaining evil energy within them.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned into silence.

Is this... a miracle?

Zhuque's small act saved the lives of countless soldiers. If the evil influence is left untreated, it will become increasingly difficult to cure.

Even if the evil spirits were removed at that time, the resulting hidden injuries would be very difficult to heal.

After Suzaku finished doing all this, it landed in front of the Empress.

"What's your name?"

"By the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy, my name is Sikong Chan."

Suzaku nodded.

"This is the last time I will help you suppress evil spirits. My remaining spirit is exhausted, and you will have to rely on yourselves afterward."

"I have driven away that evil spirit, and it will not return for five hundred years. During this time, you must be prepared."

A gentle light appeared in Zhuque's majestic eyes.

"Your talent is quite good. You have the potential to break through to the Saint Realm in the future. At that time, suppressing evil spirits will not be difficult for you."

Sikong Chan bowed respectfully, "The Sikong royal family will forever remember the kindness of the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy."

Zhuque nodded upon hearing this, but her gaze was fixed on Han Feng.

Han Feng was in a special state at this moment. The domineering aura of the Lord of Beasts in his eyes had not dissipated for a long time. He only nodded slightly in response to the gaze of the Vermilion Bird.

Suzaku laughed and said, "I didn't expect to see something so interesting before I leave."

"What's your name?"

"Han Feng".

"Han Feng...?"

Zhuque walked up to Han Feng and said, "You woke me up, so you want me to be on your list?"

Han Feng nodded: "If you'd like."

Suzaku smiled again: "Of course I'm willing, but I can only give you a little bit of spiritual consciousness as a mark. As for whether we will meet again in the future, that depends on your own fate."

After speaking, the light on the Vermilion Bird slowly dissipated, and finally a wisp of spiritual consciousness condensed and flew into the "Record of Ten Thousand Beasts" in Han Feng's hand.

A small "Vermilion Bird" mark was lit up on it.

In an instant, Han Feng felt a magical power emanating from his body.

boom!

A ball of flame suddenly ignited in Han Feng's hand.

"Southern Bright Fire!"

He actually obtained this divine beast flame, which was no less powerful than a strange fire.

After the Vermilion Bird's light completely disappeared, the "Record of Ten Thousand Beasts" in Han Feng's hand also returned to normal.

As Han Feng exited his ultimate form, he suddenly felt a sense of fatigue.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to him.

The person who just awakened the Vermilion Bird was this hero who arrived shortly afterward.

Although Suzaku quelled the chaos with overwhelming force, no one has forgotten Han Feng's contribution.

The Empress slowly walked towards him and said in an extremely sincere tone:

"Han Feng, thank you."

Han Feng let out a long sigh of relief and looked up at the sky with a smile.

At this moment, the Purple Shattered Ruins possessed an unusual beauty.

The war is over.

He once again changed a point in the long river of history.

Although this war in the Southern Li Empire is nothing compared to the entire Dou Qi Continent.

But behind this victory lies a joy unique to Han Feng.

It proves that the future can be changed.

Yao Tianhuo walked up at this moment and slapped Han Feng hard on the shoulder.

"I knew you could do it."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Yao Tianhuo became incoherent and finally gave a thumbs-up.

His trust in Han Feng had reached a peak through a series of events.

No matter how difficult the situation, as long as Han Feng appears, my heart will be at ease.

With him around, even the biggest difficulties can be overcome.

"I guess I was lucky to make it in time."

Han Feng smiled.

If it had been any later, although the outcome of the war would not have changed and Suzaku would still have swept everything away, Sikong Chan would certainly have been gone.

In that case, it would be no different from history.

The group returned the way they came, with the Empress walking side by side with Han Feng.

She expended a great deal of energy in this battle, and although she did not ultimately sacrifice herself, her physical and mental exhaustion was still quite severe.

Seeing the Empress's current state, Han Feng took out a pill and handed it to her.

"The Rejuvenation Pill will make you feel better after taking it."

"Thank you."

The empress swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Normally, she would never take pills given to her by others directly; she would always have them checked before daring to take them.

But after what just happened, Han Feng's position in her heart rose to the highest level.

Whether it was the life-saving grace or the recognition from the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy, Han Feng's position was irreplaceable.

The Empress pondered how to repay Han Feng's kindness and felt an urge to keep him in the Southern Li Empire.

"Han Feng, what did the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy say to you in the end?"

"If it's a secret, then forget it."

The Empress couldn't help but ask.

Han Feng smiled gently: "There's no secret. He just gave me His mark, saying that if it's possible in the future, I can see Him again."

The Empress remained silent for a moment.

"The Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy is an ancient divine beast that came to the Dou Qi Continent with the ancient gods. There are very few records about Him. Even our Sikong family only knows that He helped the Dou Qi Continent quell a huge disaster, a disaster many times more serious than the Purple Shattered Ruins incident."

Han Feng listened attentively.

"After that, the Vermilion Bird guarded the south until one day, it left the Dou Qi Continent, leaving behind some inheritances, which were entrusted to the Sikong family for safekeeping."

The empress recounted her family history in detail.

"Having received the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy, we naturally also took on His mission. Our Sikong family has guarded the Purple Shattered Ruins for generations until a thousand years ago when a chaotic war broke out on the Southern Continent, which once disrupted the stability of the Purple Shattered Ruins. So my ancestors pacified the entire continent, gathered the power of the Southern Continent, and jointly suppressed the Purple Shattered Ruins."

Han Feng nodded, having gained a general understanding of the Empress's family.

"Zhuque said that the Purple Shattered Ruins will not have any more problems within five hundred years. In five hundred years, I will definitely become a saint. At that time, I will help His Majesty completely solve the problem of the Purple Shattered Ruins."

"So confident?"

The Empress exclaimed in surprise.

Becoming a saint is no easy feat; otherwise, so many renowned powerhouses wouldn't be stuck in the process.

"of course."

Han Feng smiled gently.

If he doesn't become a saint in five hundred years, he might as well kill himself by smashing his head against a block of tofu.

The empress smiled.

"I don't need your help. It's not certain who will break through to the Dou Sheng realm first."

"Oh? It seems Your Majesty has lofty ambitions."

Han Feng sighed.

"I am only in my fifties, how can I not try to reach the Saint Realm?"

After saying this, the Empress blushed slightly.

She's really confused; why did she reveal her age to Han Feng?

However, she still glanced at Han Feng, wanting to see how he would respond.

"Over fifty years old... Your Majesty, I am also just over fifty years old. The conditions are fair, so we can have a competition."

Hearing that Han Feng was about the same age as her, the Empress was secretly pleased.

"But I am already at the Seven-Star Dou Zun Realm, can you really catch up?"

Han Feng smiled without saying a word.

The gap between the Seven Star Dou Zun realm and the Seven Star Dou Zun realm is indeed quite large, but if there is no challenge, why would we need him to take action?

A quarter of an hour later, they returned to the entrance of the Purple Shattered Ruins.

When the Empress returned in triumph, the soldiers shouted, "Long live Nanli!"
