Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Page 368

Han Feng said to the two women.

Ye Qingyun and Lin Xian'er nodded and followed Han Feng into the void wormhole.

Maple City.

Deep in the bamboo forest, Han Feng cut open the exit of the spatial passage and walked calmly out of the deep void.

Behind him, Ye Qingyun and Lin Xian'er followed closely. When the three of them stepped onto the bamboo forest ground, Han Feng waved his hand to close the spatial passage.

"We're home. You all go inside and tidy up. I'm going to see the teacher."

Han Feng said.

Through his soul perception, Yao Chen indeed had not yet left Maple City.

When Han Feng arrived at the Xiao family, he saw Yao Chen sitting in a courtyard with a chessboard in front of him. The black and white pieces were scattered all over the board, giving people a dazzling feeling.

"teacher."

"I'm home."

Yao Chen didn't even look up as he placed a white piece on the chessboard.

Han Feng walked to the opposite side of Yao Chen, picked up a black piece, and placed it next to the white piece.

The master and apprentice did not continue speaking, but were completely absorbed in the game of chess.

It took a full half hour for the game to come to an end.

"The teacher is still a cut above the rest."

Han Feng said with a smile.

Yao Chen waved his hand.

"Don't think I didn't see it; you were letting me win."

"I just wanted to try a different approach, but I didn't expect the teacher to see through me."

The black and white pieces quickly returned to their original positions, and the chessboard was restored to its original state.

"You're back. It's time for Xiao Yanzi and me to set off."

"That's what Yao Chen said."

During this time, Han Feng was away, so Yao Chen chose to stay in Feng City to take care of the Black Corner Region for him.

After all, having a demigod present is enough to suppress any trouble.

Before I leave, I have a gift for my teacher.

"Oh? What is that?"

Han Feng took out a small clump of the Demon Saint's essence blood.

"This is... essence blood? Such powerful energy!"

Yao Chen looked at the golden liquid in Han Feng's hand and exclaimed in surprise.

Even with his half-saint cultivation, he could still sense the power of this thing, which meant that the essence blood in front of him was at least at the Dou Sheng level.

"You went out for a while and actually got another treasure like this?"

"It's just a coincidence."

Han Feng smiled and then calmly explained the origin of the object in his hand.

"Teacher, this is the essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint."

"Yellow Springs...Yellow Springs Demon Saint?!"

"That's right, it's that one of the peak experts who came closest to becoming a Dou Di in the recent history of Dou Qi Continent."

Yao Chen's breathing paused for half a second.

He didn't know much about the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, after all, he was just a figure written in history books, and his introduction was only mentioned in a few words.

But without a doubt, he was a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

"You're so lucky, kid!"

Yao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

How long have they been gone? They've actually obtained the essence blood of an ancient peak powerhouse after just one trip?

"Tell me the truth, did you already know about this thing all along?"

“No, there isn’t! The essence blood has always been stored in the inheritance stone tablet of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, but I opened it this time.”

"How did we get onto the Nine Netherworld Python again?"

Yao Chen was taken aback.

Han Feng smiled and recounted his experience to Yao Chen.

"hiss......"

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen involuntarily gasped.

"No wonder you were gone for so long this time; you did something so earth-shattering."

The Nine Netherworld Python is one of the three major families in the Beast Domain, equivalent to the top power in the Central Continent, like the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace.

Han Feng made a precise move, seizing the key moment and subduing Yao Ming, thereby gaining control of the entire Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

He single-handedly overthrew the regime of the Nine Netherworld Python.

Fortunately, the battle lasted relatively short a time, and all those who knew about it were sealed off in the Nether Serpent Mountains, limiting the spread of its influence.

Otherwise, the Beast Realm is likely to descend into chaos.

"You should keep this essence blood for yourself. Whether I break through to the Dou Sheng realm or not doesn't really have that much impact on the overall situation."

Han Feng's current strength has far surpassed his own.

This can be seen from how easily he quelled the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

He can handle the opponents he can handle himself, and as for those he can't, Yao Chen can't offer much help now.

"That's not how it works. Teacher's breakthrough to Dou Sheng is extremely important to the overall situation."

Han Feng smiled and said, "In about ten years, the battle against the Soul Clan will begin, but before that, someone needs to manage the Starfall Pavilion, expand its influence, and strengthen its power."

“I can’t be that person, you’re the most suitable, teacher.”

"why?"

"If I expose myself too early, the Soul Palace will focus its attention on the Starfall Pavilion."

Han Feng said.

"I led the Soul Slaughter Division to develop in the shadows to attract the attention of the Soul Palace, but on the surface, we still need a Dou Sheng to take charge of the overall situation."

"Teacher, only you are capable of taking on this position now."

After all, none of the other experienced elders are confident that they can advance to the Dou Sheng level within ten years.

Moreover, the sooner we start developing the Starfall Pavilion and taking charge of the overall situation, the better.

"Alright then, since you've put it that way, it would be pretentious for me to refuse any longer."

Yao Chen accepted the Demon Saint's essence blood.

The master and apprentice exchanged a smile.

"By the way, how did your trip to the Southern Li Empire go?"

"what?"

"What do you mean 'oh'? You skipped over this part in your previous description. Tell me, who did you meet?"

Yao Chen's lips curled into a gossipy smile.

"This... is just a friend."

"It's more than just friendship, isn't it?"

Han Feng smiled helplessly, then sighed with relief and said to Yao Chen.

"Teacher, I haven't settled down and started a family yet. Will that disappoint you?"

"I wouldn't call it disappointment. After all, you have a long road ahead of you. Take your time to look around and make your choices. Finding a Daoist partner is a major life event. Even if you are already a Dou Sheng, you still can't make a decision casually."

A good spiritual partner can provide a lot of help on your spiritual journey, or at least not hold you back.

If the two people have too much of a gap in status, position, or strength, and the stronger party cannot adequately protect the weaker party, then tragedy is very likely to occur.

Yao Chen reminisced about his youth.

It's not that he hasn't liked other people, but each relationship seems to end before it even reaches a happy ending.

"She was a very capable woman and an excellent emperor."

Han Feng spoke up.

Yao Chen smiled gently.

"He's actually the ruler of a country? I remember the Southern Continent was a unified region. That's impressive."

"She was indeed remarkable. She was diligent in her duties, humbly accepted advice, and was willing to sacrifice her life for the country in times of crisis. She had none of the arrogance of an emperor, though of course, she was also assertive in some ways."

Han Feng recalled Sikong Chan's two attempts to force herself on him, and shook his head with a light laugh.

"In terms of talent, he's no less than me. He's currently in seclusion trying to break through to the Half-Saint level. If he succeeds, his future will be bright."

Yao Chen listened attentively and patiently to what Han Feng had to say. After he stopped, he smiled and said, "She sounds like a nice girl."

"Does she like you?"

A rare, awkward expression appeared on Han Feng's face.

"I think... he likes her, right?"

It's really hard to say such boastful things, especially when it comes to relationships between men and women.

Han Feng thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

"You're quite confident, aren't you?"

Yao Chen joked.

"He's the ruler of a country, what kind of handsome men hasn't he seen?"

Han Feng is indeed good-looking, but compared to a top-tier handsome man like Yao Chen, he is still a notch below.

"Teacher, isn't a handsome man like you also all alone now?"

Yao Chen's body trembled slightly, and his face visibly turned red.
