Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Han Feng appeared silently without revealing the slightest trace of his presence, so Yao Tianhuo didn't even notice his arrival.

Han Feng nodded secretly as he watched Yao Tianhuo's cultivation.

The title of Venerable Heavenly Fire carries considerable weight.

Needless to say, among all the Dou Zun powerhouses, Venerable Tianhuo is definitely above average.

He created the Five-Wheel Fire Technique, a unique skill whose five wheels combined are comparable to Heaven-Rank combat techniques.

If it weren't for his greed for a second strange fire back then, wanting to try something that no one before him dared to attempt, which ultimately led to the strange fire raging and backfiring, causing him to be severely injured and perish.

Yaotianhuo will surely make a name for himself on the Dou Qi Continent.

He has now entered the ranks of high-level Dou Zun, and his aura is powerful and profound. His cultivation speed is already faster than that of his own uncle, Feng Xian.

As the Radiant Heavenly Fire completed its Great Cycle, Han Feng quietly released a trace of his aura. The Radiant Heavenly Fire instantly detected this aura, abruptly opening its eyes like a lion poised to pounce, its glare wide as it stared at Han Feng's location.

"Han Feng!"

Yao Tianhuo's eyes lit up when he saw the other party.

"You came!"

He quickly stood up, and the terrifying atmosphere that had filled the room vanished without a trace.

"Old Master Yao, you are truly skilled. That one look you gave just now was incredibly imposing."

Han Feng said with a smile.

"Not at all, it's just that the situation has been tense lately, so we're being more vigilant."

Yaotianhuo said casually.

However, Han Feng understood the deeper meaning behind it.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few years."

As the front line, the Heavenly Fire Pavilion is also an important department for collecting intelligence on the Soul Palace.

The daily pressure they endure is undoubtedly the greatest.

Han Feng took out a treasure box from his pocket and handed it to Yao Tianhuo.

"I just noticed that you've reached a bottleneck. This pill can help you break through faster."

Yao Tianhuo didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it.

"I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll definitely keep the pills made by a grandmaster alchemist carefully!"

Yao Tianhu poured Han Feng a cup of tea.

"sit."

The two sat down together. Yao Tianhuo glanced at Han Feng and said with emotion, "It's been so long already. You must have come here for something important this time?"

"Oh? How do you know?"

Han Feng smiled.

"You're such a busy person, I've never seen you come here before. This sudden visit must mean something important!"

Yao Tianhuo had an expression that said, "I saw through this a long time ago."

Han Feng smiled helplessly and nodded, saying, "You guessed right."

Yao Tianhuo put away his joking expression, looked at Han Feng seriously, and slowly said, "It's decided, shall we start fighting now?"

"You should have already received the news. With the Soul Palace making such a big move, if I don't go out soon, I'm afraid the Earth Palace and Heaven Palace will really take action."

Yao Tianhu nodded.

"The Soul Hall is indeed determined to win this time. Now you have no choice but to fight. If the Soul Extermination Division doesn't take action soon, I feel that the Soul Hall's actions will become increasingly aggressive."

The relocation of the main force of the Soul Palace to the Northern Region this time may well have been intended to attract the attention of the Soul Slaughtering Division.

Previously, Han Feng arranged for the Soul Slaughtering Division to gather intelligence about Yao Chen in the Northern Region. It was probably at that time that the Soul Hall discovered that the main force of the Soul Slaughtering Division might be in the Northern Region.

"I came here today to ask how much the Heavenly Fire Pavilion's reserves have reached?"

Han Feng asked.

Yaotianhuo smiled softly.

"I'll take you there and you'll see. I guarantee you'll be amazed!"

Yao Tianhuo got up, and the two walked towards the back mountain, arriving at the entrance of the underground cave.

"Back then, you asked me to forge high-level weapons and craft basic puppets here. The quantity you requested was already achieved a year ago!"

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the underground cave.

A wave of heat hit him, and Han Feng looked around and nodded to himself.

This place truly deserves its reputation as a potential paradise; despite years of development and use, its energy remains abundant.

Yao Tianhuo led Han Feng to the equipment storage area.

He formed a hand seal and opened the door.

What came into view was a dense array of weapons and armor, arranged in neat rows.

On the left, a group of bronze-colored puppets stood with their heads bowed, holding sharp longswords at their waists and covered in scale armor, fully armed from head to toe.

"These are bronze guards built according to your requirements, each with the combat power of a Battle King."

Han Feng walked closer and examined it carefully.

"Excellent, it's perfectly forged."

Lightning crackled at Han Feng's fingertips as he flew into the Bronze Guardian. The puppet, chosen by luck, experienced a rapid increase in its energy, quickly reaching the Dou Huang level.

Yao Tianhuo watched from the side, his eyes filled with surprise.

No wonder Han Feng asked him to build these puppets; they can even be upgraded with lightning!

Yao Tianhuo did not possess the skills to forge artifacts; he was merely responsible for managing the area. The creation of these puppets was actually carried out by other artifact refiners.

Following the blueprints provided by Han Feng, they divided the work and, taking advantage of the underground caves, successfully built a batch of bronze guards.

A moment later, Han Feng stopped injecting lightning. The strength of this group of bronze guards was already very close to the Dou Zong realm.

The color of their bodies gradually revealed a silvery-white pattern.

"My God, how did you create a group of experts comparable to the Dou Zong realm so easily, Han Feng?"

Yaotianhuo was stunned.

He originally thought that a batch of Battle King puppets was already shocking enough.

These puppets, working together, are no match for a Dou Huang; they could even suppress a Dou Zong.

But now, if you tell him that each individual puppet possesses the ability to fight a Battle Master, wouldn't all the Battle Venerables be defeated if these puppets joined forces?

"It's just a puppetry technique. Otherwise, why do you think I made you go through all that trouble to build these things?"

Han Feng wasn't particularly affected.

These puppets were created by him using the refining method of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

The weapon crafting manuals that are issued are all specially treated.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Puppet is too powerful, and the materials used in it can be harmful to people.

Therefore, Han Feng specially developed a refining method that uses other materials as substitutes.

Although the reduction in human corpses and the main ingredients of souls has greatly reduced the upper limit of puppets, it is still sufficient for use in mid-level battles.

"Elder Yao, you've done a good job. I'll take everything with me."

With a wave of his hand, Han Feng collected all the weapons and puppets in the storage room into the Landscape Painting.

At this moment, Fairy Hua, who was studying the formation in the Mountain and River Map, looked on in bewilderment at the large amount of military equipment that was falling from the sky.

Hua Xianzi scratched her head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped. However, once the commotion subsided, she became too lazy to speak and instead continued to study the formation.

Han Feng belatedly realized that there seemed to be another person living in the landscape painting.

He quickly set aside a storage space in the landscape painting to avoid disturbing the "tenant" later.

After handing the items over to Han Feng, Yao Tianhuo felt as if a major burden had been lifted from his heart.

To be honest, he was quite worried that Han Feng wouldn't be satisfied with these things.

After all, the Heavenly Fire Pavilion hasn't been established for very long, and this is the first time they've done something like this.

"Han Feng, do we need to send some manpower this time?"

Yao Tianhuo asked.

"No need, you can continue forging weapons."

The matter of fighting can be left to the Soul Slaughtering Division.

Han Feng suddenly asked, "Any news from the Southern Li Empire lately?"

The Heavenly Fire Pavilion has always had connections with the Xiao family of the Southern Li Empire, and some of the master builders are from the Xiao family.

Yao Tianhuo revealed a gossipy smile.

"Oh, so the King of Zhennan has finally remembered the Southern Li Kingdom?"

Han Feng was speechless.

"Say something quickly!"

Yao Tianhuo paused for a moment before saying, "Everything is fine with the Xiao family. Their position as the leader of the Weapon Sect is becoming more and more secure. By the way, the material supplies will only increase, not decrease, so you can rest assured."

Han Feng nodded.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Yaotianhuo and asked, "Anything else?"

"Hmm? What else do you want to know?"

Yao Tianhuo revealed a mysterious smile again.

Han Feng just stared at him like that.

"Ahem, alright, alright, and there's also Empress Nanli. It seems she went into seclusion for a while, but she's recently come out and I heard her strength has greatly improved."

Yao Tianhuo said.

"But I've only heard about it. I haven't been able to see that empress. If you really want to know the details, you should go there yourself."

Han Feng smiled faintly after hearing this.

Has she already broken through?

Chapter 304 Hunting the Soul Hall

"Let's finish what we're dealing with first, then we can go to Nanli."

Han Feng then said.

The emergence of a semi-saint level expert in the Southern Li Empire is undoubtedly something to celebrate, but the Empress seems to be keeping a low profile and has not made a big fuss about it.

This was the right choice. When disaster is imminent, one must bide one's time and remain calm.

Han Feng and Venerable Tianhuo returned to Tianhuo Pavilion and had a detailed discussion about the current situation of the Soul Palace.

Venerable Tianhuo personally compiled a list of valuable intelligence reports.

They risked their lives to collect this intelligence from various parts of the mainland.

Of course, the main focus was still on the Western Regions.

This is the Soul Palace's lair, and even after a full-scale attack, it still demonstrates its immense resources.

The centipede insect is dead but not stiff.

Han Feng carefully examined the contents of the intelligence report, combining them with his memories from his previous life to find areas where he could make a breakthrough.

The current situation is very different from the previous one. Although the Soul Palace still occupies most of the territory in the Central Continent, Han Feng and his group have the initiative.

This is crucial.

Without a clear objective, and if the Soul Palace's plans are allowed to continue unchecked, the fate of the Dou Qi Continent will follow the same old path.
