Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Han Feng specially built a secret space for her, allowing her to act freely without releasing toxic gases that could damage the surrounding environment.

Outside Maple City, a large and imposing procession marched to the city walls.

Ye Qingyun walked at the front of the group, looking at the familiar city gate not far away, a relieved smile on her face.

She lived up to her master's expectations, successfully completed the mission, and brought everyone back without exception.

If the highway had been completed at the scheduled pace, Ye Qingyun could have returned a month ago.

However, in order to advance and retreat together with the main group, they took the road they had built themselves and successfully reached Fengcheng from the border in a month.

This speed is certainly slower than riding flying monsters, but for most people, roads on the ground are the most common mode of transportation.

By opening this road and ensuring its feasibility, foreign caravans no longer needed to forge their own paths and risk various dangers to reach the Black Corner Region.

Official road safety inspections will also be implemented upon the completion of the road to prevent dangerous individuals from infiltrating the Black Corner area.

Of course, this statement may be somewhat out of place now. The Black Corner Region is far from a peaceful place, and the merchants from outside should fear the locals the most.

After verifying their identities, the army began to enter the city. Many of the people in the army were locals of Maple City, while others were recruited from outside.

However, after completing this mission that lasts for several years, they will also be eligible to move into Maple City, which was a benefit that was agreed upon at the beginning.

At the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Qingyun reported to Han Feng for the first time as the returning leader.

"Master, I'm back."

Han Feng smiled and said, "I already received the news in advance. How was the return trip? Was it smooth?"

Ye Qingyun nodded and said, "It went very smoothly. We didn't encounter any extreme weather. In recent years, after the black storm disappeared, the environment in many places has been gradually improving."

"This is a good thing."

Han Feng said, "With the threat of a harsh environment reduced, the Black Corner Region will have a huge new area for development in the future."

In the past, the Black Plains were almost uninhabited due to their harsh environment, with only a few indigenous people setting up camps and stopping whenever they wanted.

With environmental improvements, the Black Plains will gradually become a major area for future development.

"The Black Plains are vast, and a single highway cannot cover the entire area. The owner wants to develop the plains, so the subsequent construction work is also very important."

Han Feng smiled and nodded.

“That makes a lot of sense, but we’re going to Zhongzhou soon. Do you have anyone you could recommend who could do the job?”

"I think Su Mei is capable of being the commander of this mission."

Ye Qingyun replied.

"Su Mei? Okay, then let's leave it to her."

Su Mei was originally the leader of the Rakshasa Sect and one of the first allies to pledge allegiance to Han Feng. However, due to her long-term presence in important positions, she did not participate in this banquet incident.

It could be considered both a blessing and a curse.

Han Feng led Ye Qingyun out of the city lord's mansion and headed to the city square.

At this moment, all the returning teams gathered here, waiting for Han Feng's arrival.

On the high platform in the square, the atmosphere reached its climax with Han Feng's appearance.

"Alliance Leader, the Alliance Leader has arrived!"

This is one of the few times Han Feng has appeared in public in recent years.

He looked down at the crowd below and smiled as he shared his thoughts.

At the same time, he also announced the leader he had decided on during his conversation with Ye Qingyun.

When Su Mei heard Han Feng say her name, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

She came to Han Feng and looked at his long-unseen face. Her once lifeless heart suddenly came alive again.

"Alliance Leader..."

"Congratulations, Elder Su."

Su Mei accepted the appointment in a daze, and then returned to square one in a daze.

Only after Han Feng left did she come to her senses, look down at the pill in her hand, and feel a little comforted.

Chapter 279 The Charm of Azure Scales

Han Feng and Ye Qingyun strolled leisurely along a path in the bamboo forest of Fengcheng.

After handling the affairs in the city and explaining the follow-up matters, they could simply wait to set off.

"Xian'er has already broken through to the Dou Zong realm?"

Ye Qingyun looked surprised when she heard Han Feng tell this news.

"Wow, that's amazing! Xian'er has already surpassed me."

Ye Qingyun sighed.

"After all, he has the Calamity Poison Body, so his cultivation level improves very quickly. If it weren't for the need to cultivate the 'Poison Pill Technique,' he might have broken through to the Dou Zong level much earlier."

Lin Xian'er had been cultivating under Han Feng since childhood, and had received top-notch Foundation Establishment training. Her starting point in cultivation was definitely earlier than in her previous life.

However, Han Feng had been restricting her absorption of poisons, slowing down the maturation of her Calamity Poison Body, until she broke through to the Dou Zong realm, at which point the girl was completely freed.

That might be why I said those things to myself that day.

"I feel like I've reached a critical point, so I'm going to the Flower Sect this time to start working on a breakthrough."

Ye Qingyun said.

"I'll go with you this time. I haven't seen Aunt Hua in a long time either."

Han Feng said.

The two arrived at the bamboo house and rested for a while.

Han Feng opened the secret realm and summoned Lin Xian'er.

"Aunt Ye?"

Lin Xian'er's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Qingyun.

"you are back?"

"Well, congratulations, Xian'er, you've finally broken through to the Dou Zong level."

Ye Qingyun said with a smile.

Lin Xian'er smiled gently.

"Aunt Ye is now at the peak of Dou Huang, so her advancement must be imminent, right?"

Although for an average Dou Huang, advancing to Dou Zong is something that requires both talent and luck to reach their peak.

But for the group of people around Han Feng, breaking through to the Dou Zong realm was incredibly easy.

Even if one's talent is lacking, elixirs can make up for that gap.

Not to mention Ye Qingyun's powerful physique; when she breaks through to the Dou Zong realm, she needs to consider how to maximize her benefits, not how to speed things up.

"We'll set off soon, pick up Qinglin, and head to Zhongzhou together."

Han Feng took a sip of tea and said.

During his two years of seclusion, many things happened in the outside world. If so many changes occurred in the Northwest Continent alone, one can only imagine the vast and resource-rich Central Plains.

The three of them tidied up quickly and gathered in the courtyard.

With a wave of his hand, Han Feng created a stable spatial wormhole.

A dense spatial energy flickered as Lin Xian'er stretched out her hand, experiencing for the first time the sensation of spatial energy flowing through her palm.

This is the power of a Dou Zong, possessing a natural affinity for space.

"We're not going on a spaceship this time, remember to follow behind me."

Han Feng said.

He took a step forward, and the two women followed.

A chaotic spatial force exploded before my eyes, like a gaping maw of abyss, sucking up all kinds of energy before gushing out all at once.

Lin Xian'er instinctively covered her face. Without the protection of the flying spirit ship, this was the first time the two women had directly faced the terrifying spatial turbulence.

In such a high-level spatial wormhole, the intensity of spatial turbulence has increased to a level that is enough to threaten a Dou Zun.

Han Feng used his soul form to search for clues about Yao Chen in the spatial turbulence, and afterwards he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, almost never waking up.

But today is different from the past.

Han Feng stood in front of the two women, easily blocking all the spatial turbulence.

"It's amazing. It's a completely different feeling compared to when I was standing on a boat."

Lin Xian'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Spatial turbulence is very common in the boundless void. If you want to explore there in the future, you need to start getting used to it now."

Han Feng said.

The reason why it is generally said that only Dou Zun level experts are qualified to travel through the boundless void is this simple reason.

Ordinary Dou Zongs simply do not have the ability to protect themselves in the spatial turbulence.

"Master, will you go to the boundless void in the future?"

Lin Xian'er asked.

Han Feng nodded.

Seeing this, Lin Xian'er clenched her fists.

"Alright, then I'll start honing my spatial powers from today!"

Han Feng smiled.

"Don't rush. If you want to go there, at least wait until you break through to the Dou Zun level."

You're not some ancient dragon from the void, born with an innate ability to create spatial barriers.

He's just a novice Dou Zong who's just entered this path.

Lin Xian'er snorted and said confidently, "Master, don't underestimate me. Now that I've finished cultivating the 'Poison Pill Technique,' improving my cultivation level will be a piece of cake."

"Oh, right, Master, you promised me the Emperor Python's Heart-Devouring Poison..."

Lin Xian'er chuckled and gestured with her hands.

Han Feng shook his head.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

"I've told you so many times, don't rush your cultivation. The Emperor Python's Heart-Devouring Poison is of a very high grade. Even if you can absorb it now, it will still take a lot of time."

"Do the right thing at the right stage. High-grade poison can be used to absorb when you advance to Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng."

"The road must be taken step by step."

Han Feng spoke earnestly.

One Wan Du Gui Yuan Pill directly elevated Lin Xian'er to the three-star Dou Zong level, far surpassing other cultivators who had advanced to Dou Zong.

Lin Xian'er nodded sullenly.

"Master, if you're going to the boundless void, remember to let me know."

"Okay, I'll definitely tell you."

Han Feng said helplessly.

Having a disciple who's determined to "destroy the ancestors" is really not as cute as he was when he was a child.

As they spoke, the three of them had already traversed tens of thousands of miles and arrived at the Heavenly Serpent Palace.

Since the three were already regulars at this place, the steward led them directly into the mansion.

A moment later, Qinglin flew out from the inner hall of the Heavenly Serpent Palace and rushed towards Han Feng and the others.

In the two years that followed, the little girl grew taller and became even more beautiful. Her slender figure was no less stunning than Ye Qingyun's.
