Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

However, Han Feng's intervention allowed the Xiao family of the Southern Li Empire to overcome the crisis, rise from the dead, and become the leader of the four major weapon sects.

As a result, the Xiao family's reputation spread far and wide, attracting the attention of the Soul Palace.

The Xiao clan's weapon-forging techniques were unparalleled in their time, and many powerful figures who witnessed that era were well aware of the Xiao clan's forging prowess.

Therefore, it is reasonable to send people to investigate.

In just two years, the Soul Palace has infiltrated many places. If we act rashly, it may arouse the suspicion of the people behind the scenes.

Han Feng finished a pot of tea and gently tapped the teacup with his fingertips.

The waiter kindly brought out another pot of their signature dish.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir. This is our shop's signature dish, sky blue."

Han Feng smiled gently.

"Sky blue".

"The sky over Nanli really needs a change of color."

Han Feng vanished from the teahouse in a flash.

Chapter 258 Ancestors of the Xiao Clan

Han Feng did not take action directly.

With so many people around and so many eyes looking at things, forcing things could cause unnecessary panic.

In any case, Han Feng had already identified the other party, and all he needed to do was wait for him to leave his post before he could begin the interrogation.

The idea of ​​completely destroying all the Soul Palaces in the world is an unrealistic proposition.

Han Feng didn't have the energy to investigate further.

What truly matters are the masterminds behind it all.

Of the three Heavenly Palaces—Heaven, Earth, and Man—conquering even one would be a tremendous success.

If all three are captured, it can be said that a major victory has been achieved in this phase.

Of course, achieving this is not so easy.

The Soul Palace is still quite powerful.

Take, for example, the Second Heavenly Venerable Gu You, who had dealt with Han Feng before; he was a high-level half-saint.

The Great Celestial Venerable who guards the Human Palace alongside him is a two-star Dou Sheng, whose cultivation level is comparable to Han Feng's.

As for the Earth Palace, it is guarded by the deputy hall master of the Soul Palace, and its status is second only to the Heaven Palace.

This deputy hall master's strength is as high as the late stage of a three-star Dou Sheng, and his strength is unfathomable.

In the Dou Sheng stage, each star represents a different level of power. A three-star Dou Sheng can easily crush a two-star Dou Sheng, not to mention the later stages.

The final highlight is the headquarters of the Soul Hall, the Heavenly Palace, which is managed by the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and is the core of all Soul Halls.

As long as the Heavenly Palace is not destroyed, even if all other branches are cut off, it will not actually cause decisive damage to the Soul Palace.

That is why Han Feng carefully altered the details of the Soul Devouring Life Array, not daring to destroy it openly.

The Lord of the Soul Palace is surnamed Hun and named Miesheng. He is a powerful expert who came from the Soul Clan.

His cultivation level appears to be at the late stage of a four-star Dou Sheng, but in reality, he has already reached the threshold of breaking through to the five-star level.

However, due to the agreement between ancient families, a five-star Dou Sheng level expert is not allowed to interfere in external affairs, which is why he has not been able to break through for so long.

Without a doubt, this is a terrifying opponent.

Even in his previous life, Han Feng was not qualified to challenge him.

However, there was no chance in the previous life, but there is a possibility in this life.

On his path to defeating the Soul Emperor, Han Feng is destined to face more enemies and more difficult battles than in his previous life.

The reason he was able to turn the tide in his previous life was because he swallowed the Emperor Pill by chance. If he had followed the normal path of cultivation, even if Han Feng had been given another hundred years, he might not have been able to defeat the Soul Emperor.

After all, the other party is a powerful being who has lived for thousands of years.

In terms of both talent and background, he far surpasses Han Feng.

Han Feng's only advantage at present is that he has spent the past ten years collecting different kinds of fire to improve himself, and has forged a different path through the "Burning Technique".

While the scriptures and inheritances of divine beasts are profound and mysterious, they are not Han Feng's main cultivation methods.

Before truly reaching that level, Han Feng was still unable to fully comprehend all the mysteries within the Divine Beast Scripture.

He felt that the most useful things in the scriptures could not be manifested at present.

One side is in the light, the other side is in the dark.

Han Feng will have more opportunities.

Although strategy is not very effective in the face of absolute power.

But for now, Han Feng can only move forward step by step.

Han Feng would not believe that underestimating the Soul Emperor and thinking that he was bound to defeat him because he carried a great mission.

Han Feng always felt that the Soul Emperor was a formidable opponent.

He was just one step away from success.

If the timing is right, there is a real chance to seize the title of Dou Di.

The duel between Han Feng and the Soul Emperor has not yet begun.

Once Han Feng steps into the limelight, he will become a thorn in the side of the Soul Clan.

The danger he faces then is far greater than it is now.

Before that, Han Feng needed to further improve himself and find more ways to fight against the Soul Clan.

No matter how powerful the extraterrestrial evil race becomes in the future, Han Feng's current task is still to fight against the Soul Race.

If they can't even get past the Soul Emperor, then they can forget about defeating the extraterrestrial evil race.

Xiao Mansion.

Han Feng did not greet the guards outside the gate and went directly into the Xiao residence.

Xiao Tianbao was currently forging new tools in the weapon-refining room. Flames occasionally lit up the room, and Han Feng could easily sense the rich fire-attribute energy.

They're all so old, yet they still work so hard.

Han Feng saw everything, smiled, and shook his head.

However, the old man's wish has now come true.

The Xiao family no longer needs to rely on his strength and can maintain its position as the leader of the Weapon Sect.

Many members of the clan have already learned how to make the Armor of Spirit Absorption, and the head of the Xiao family has also broken through to the Dou Zong level, making up for his shortcomings in strength.

Only a family with a Dou Zong (a high-ranking official) can be considered to have a pillar of strength.

We don't force power to reach the level of a Dou Zun.

It's more like a display of one's inner qualities; you just need to let others know that you have them, and you basically don't take action.

Han Feng gently activated the Flame Law, and Xiao Tianbao in the weapon-refining room seemed to sense something, stopping his actions and looking out the window.

It's no big deal if you don't look at it, but once you do, it's a disaster.

Bang!

The tools in Xiao Tianbao's hand fell to the ground.

He stared in disbelief at Han Feng, who was standing in mid-air outside the window.

"Young friend Han Feng, is that you?"

"Senior Xiao, it's been many years since we last met. I hope you've been well."

Han Feng smiled.

Xiao Tianbao rushed out of the window, hovering in front of Han Feng, and looked him over carefully.

"Very well, I can no longer see through your current strength."

Xiao Tianbao's face showed a look of relief.

"It seems Tianhuo was right, you really have undergone a complete transformation."

"Lord Heavenly Fire, Senior Xiao, have you seen him recently?"

"Well, it was just a short while ago. He came to the Southern Li Empire and met up with me, but he left very soon after, saying he had something to do."

Xiao Tianbao stroked his beard.

"Come on in, let's go inside and talk."

He led Han Feng to a clean and tidy side room.

Without instructing the maids, Xiao Tianbao personally brewed a pot of tea for Han Feng. Han Feng took the teapot, poured a full cup for Xiao Tianbao, and then filled his own cup as well.

The first step is to rinse the tea.

“You don’t come to the Southern Li Empire often, so the name of the Prince of Zhennan is probably more famous than your face.”

Xiao Tianbao teased Han Feng for visiting the Southern Li Empire too infrequently.

"A lot has happened over the years, and I've simply been too busy to get away."

Han Feng said.

"However, using the title of Prince of Zhennan is definitely not my true intention."

"Then go and talk to Her Majesty. She approved this back then, and many ministers opposed it."

"Oh? Who are they?"

Xiao Tianbao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Han Feng's teasing eyes and laughed loudly: "You little rascal, it turns out you're not so honest after all!"

"just kidding."

Han Feng knew, of course, that even a hero who saves an empire will face both sides of evaluation, let alone someone who was not even a member of the Southern Li Empire.

"I know that even if I told you, you probably wouldn't be interested in getting revenge on them."

Xiao Tianbao took a sip of tea.

"They are all just stumbling blocks on your path. For someone like you who has already flown into the sky, they are not even on the same level."

Sometimes, it's frustrating when your opponent is too low-level.

Han Feng took a sip of tea.

"Speaking of which, I do have something that I recently had that could affect the overall situation of the Southern Li Empire."

"Oh? Tell me."

Xiao Tianbao was somewhat curious.

"Before we talk about this, perhaps we should tell Senior Xiao something else."

Han Feng's expression became slightly serious.

Xiao Tianbao put down his teacup and pretended to listen attentively.

"I don't know, Senior Xiao, do you remember the Soul Clan that I mentioned to you before?"

"Soul clan?"

Xiao Tianbao frowned.

"We've heard of the Soul Palace, but we don't know much about what's happening in the Central Plains."

The Southern Continent is not the Central Continent; a large area of ​​barbarian territory separates them, which does indeed hinder the flow of information.

"Doesn't Senior Xiao have any doubts about where the Crimson Emperor Armor you gave me came from?"

Han Feng said.

"Even a damaged sacred artifact is not something an ordinary family can possess, right?"

Xiao Tianbao's expression turned solemn.
