Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan fell into thought.

Clearly, he was somewhat interested in the matter.

But in the end, he shook his head.

"I am very grateful for Mr. Han's kindness, but the Xiao family is probably not strong enough to establish itself in Zhongzhou at present. Moreover, the Xiao family's ancestral teachings warn us not to set foot in the Zhongzhou territory unless absolutely necessary."

The warning from the Xiao family ancestors was probably to prevent their descendants from getting close to danger.

After all, Zhongzhou is the gathering place of the Soul Hall's forces, and their plans for the Zhongzhou continent are far more extensive than those for other continents.

"It's fine if we don't go to Zhongzhou, but it's best not to stay in Wutan City, or even the Jiama Empire, any longer."

Han Feng said.

Xiao Zhan's expression changed: "Has this place already been discovered?"

"Probably."

Han Feng nodded seriously.

"Feng'er, did you get this information from the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace?"

Yao Chen asked.

"Yes, I saw the memories in the minds of the four Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace. The Great Heavenly Venerable dispatched him to carry out a subversive plan on the Northwest Continent, a treatment that the other three continents did not receive. I suspect that the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace has obtained intelligence from somewhere that the Xiao Clan of that time was on the Northwest Continent."

Chapter 207 Imperial Capital

Yao Chen nodded upon hearing this, showing no particular surprise.

Back in Qingshan Town, Han Feng had explained Xiao Yan's family's true identity to him.

He was indeed shocked for a while, after all, it was the strongest family among the eight ancient families, enough to be ranked alongside the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan. The Xiao Clan even had a super strongman who almost stepped into the Dou Di realm.

Such figures are extremely rare in the history of the Dou Qi Continent since the ancient times.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with worry.

What Mr. Han said is probably true; the Soul Clan has most likely noticed it.

Regardless of where they got the information, the outcome cannot be changed.

With the Xiao family's current strength, they simply cannot survive in the hands of the Soul Palace.

"Mr. Han, where would you recommend our Xiao family relocate to?"

"Black Corner Region".

Han Feng said slowly.

"The Black Corner Region?!"

Xiao Zhan was shocked.

In his mind, the Black Corner Region was synonymous with chaos, and a small family like the Xiao family would only get beaten up if they went there.

"The Black Corner Region is no longer what it used to be; there's no need to worry about chaos and bloodshed."

Seeing Xiao Zhan's surprised expression, Han Feng explained.

"Moreover, I have already eliminated the Soul Hall forces there, making it safer than other places."

Xiao Zhan still had doubts in his heart.

On the one hand, the atmosphere in the Black Corner Region used to be really bad. Apart from Canaan Academy, other places seemed to be soaked in blood.

Many students who graduated from Canaan College have also complained about the chaos there.

Secondly, family migration is a significant matter.

This involves personnel transfers and the handling of interests from multiple perspectives.

The slightest mistake could trigger negative emotions among the clan members.

After all, apart from Xiao Zhan, most of the other members of the Xiao family were unaware of their family's hidden dangers and past.

It takes courage to get them to leave the city where they've lived for decades and settle down in an unfamiliar place.

"Mr. Han, please allow me to discuss this matter with my clansmen."

Xiao Zhan said.

"It should."

Han Feng smiled and said, "Clan Chief Xiao, there is no need to worry too much. Even if the Soul Hall discovers this place, I have the ability to protect the Xiao family. It is not too late to make a decision then."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan felt much relieved and secretly made up his mind.

Starting today, we need to gradually persuade our people. If we appeal to their emotions and reason with them, most of them will understand.

After sitting for a while, Han Feng and Yao Chen also came out of the room and strolled around the huge Xiao Mansion.

“Feng’er, I remember you told me before that the Soul Clan was looking for the Xiao family because of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in their possession.”

"That's right, but we can't rule out the possibility that they're looking for the descendants of the Xiao clan to vent their anger on."

Han Feng said.

"Sigh, it's really unbelievable that this Xiao family is actually the Xiao clan from back then."

Yao Chen sighed deeply, seemingly lamenting the rise and fall of all things.

No matter how powerful a force may be, it will eventually fall to the dust.

What in this world truly lasts forever?

Even if one cultivates to the level of a half-step Dou Di, isn't he now just a handful of dust?

Perhaps only the legendary Battle Emperor is qualified to talk about eternity.

Han Feng stood silently beside Yao Chen, enjoying the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

"I wish time could stand still at this moment."

"Don't think about anything else."

"Just stand here quietly."

Yao Chen smiled gently.

He patted Han Feng on the shoulder.

"I know you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, but don't rush or be afraid. Your teacher will always support you."

Han Feng nodded, let out a long sigh, and looked up at the sky.

The glow of the setting sun shone through an evergreen tree in the courtyard, illuminating the robes of the two men.

Dappled light and shadow, a peaceful and serene world.

--------

Yunlan Sect, cultivation in the back mountain.

Nalan Yanran sat cross-legged atop a towering cliff, feeling the vastness of heaven and earth.

The wind of nature blows high in the sky, and the infinite truths it contains are seemingly ordinary, yet not so ordinary.

hum!

A powerful azure battle aura condensed in Nalan Yanran's palm, circulated rapidly, and then spread out.

Her soft, black hair fluttered in the wind as Nalan Yanran opened her eyes, her expression joyful.

"Success!"

She broke through to the Great Dou Master level through her own efforts!

At the dantian, a crystal shimmered with a blue light, dazzling and beautiful.

It signifies that the cultivator's cultivation has reached a new level.

The intensity of his battle aura has increased significantly, reaching the point where it can be projected outwards from his body and condensed outside of his body without dissipating.

Many combat techniques that have been practiced will have their power greatly increased.

Two years ago, my master went to the Monster Mountain Range to find a Purple Spirit Crystal that could help him break through his cultivation level, but he was unsuccessful.

Without the raw materials, Elder Guhe was unable to refine the Purple Crystal Origin Pill to help him break through his cultivation realm.

Even a sixth-grade alchemist like him cannot easily create a pill formula that can help a Battle Master improve their cultivation.

The president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma, is rumored to possess a formula for a pill called the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. This pill can help a Battle Master break through their realm. Unfortunately, the Alchemist Guild has close ties with the Empire, and the Empire is secretly at odds with the Yunlan Sect. Therefore, he naturally would not help Nalan Yanran.

Without powerful breakthrough pills, Nalan Yanran relied on herself and other resources to slowly improve her cultivation.

To this day, she has neither disappointed her teacher nor herself.

Great fighter!

A Grand Master of Battle at the tender age of eighteen!

You won't find another one like it in the entire capital.

Nalan Yanran used her internal energy to calm the fighting spirit within her body.

Next month will mark the end of her three-year agreement with that good-for-nothing young master of the Xiao family.

Although his father had said before that Xiao Yan's talent for cultivation had returned, no matter how hard he tried to catch up, it would be to no avail.

Nalan Yanran slowly exhaled, looking down at the towering cliffs below, a sense of superiority rising within her as she surveyed the mountains.

Xiao Yan is nothing more than an insignificant pebble at the bottom of a cliff. It is already an honor for him to be able to fight against me, the young sect master of Yunlan Sect.

----------

Wutan City.

Xiao Yan packed his things and did a final check of the items he needed to take.

After staying at home for a few days, they decided to set off earlier.

Let's go to the capital city.

The Xiao family once had a place there, but now it has been given to someone else.

"Yan'er, are you ready?"

Xiao Zhan stood outside the door and called out.

"Alright, Father!"

Xiao Yan pushed open the door and walked out.

"Let's go."

The father and son walked together toward the gate.

"Speaking of which, there is still an inscription left by your grandfather in the capital. He was once a great general of the empire and made countless contributions to the Gama Empire."

Xiao Zhan recalled with some emotion.

“I remember when I was a child, I went to the capital and you took me to pay respects.”

Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Zhan nodded and remained silent for a while.

Things have changed. The old man and that woman from the Nalan family were once sworn brothers.

Now the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated to this point.

Although the three-year agreement was a contest between two young people, since Nalan Yanran stood up and made a public statement, and the Nalan family didn't say anything afterward, this connection was pretty much severed.

"Father, we've arrived."

The two arrived at an open space.

Han Feng and Yao Chen were already waiting there.

A group of Xiao family members accompanied them, including Xiao Yu.

"Cousin? What brings you here too?"

Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
