Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

There are some top-notch formations set up by ancient Dan Tower experts within Saint Pill City, which are both offensive and defensive, so they may not be able to be broken through for the time being.

However, the Star Domain is different. There are three thousand blazing flames in the Star Domain, and the environment there is not suitable for ordinary people to stay for long, so there are no well-designed formations there.

Once the seal is broken, one can directly enter the Pill Tower and become a sharp sword stuck in the opponent's heart.

It must be said that the Soul Palace's plan this time was very crude and direct.

If they succeed, Danta will have a hard time resisting them given his current strength.

At the very least, they'll suffer a severe blow, and it's even possible that all three giants of the Dan Tower will be wiped out.

Because the Heavenly Palace is involved, it's uncertain whether Soul Palace Master Hun Miesheng will intervene.

We must prepare for the worst.

Han Feng opened his eyes and decided to have a good discussion with the three giants of the Pill Tower.

Although I can handle it by myself, this is the Dan Tower after all, with a large number of people. If it is not handled properly, the casualties will be very high.

Although the Dan Tower is conservative, it is still a long-established power, and as long as it is well prepared, it can still resist the Soul Palace.

Han Feng went out and first told Yao Chen about the situation. Yao Chen listened and looked serious, agreeing with Han Feng's idea of ​​informing the three giants of the Pill Tower about the matter.

"This kind of thing still requires the cooperation of the Pill Tower. After all, our original intention is to prevent the Soul Palace from harming more people, isn't it?"

Han Feng nodded.

To make Han Feng's words more convincing, Yao Chen also took the initiative to visit his two old friends and have a good chat with them.

The master and apprentice walked towards the top of the Pill Tower.

Han Feng had just won the title of champion of the Dan Tournament and was very famous. Everyone in the Dan Tower knew him.

So there was no obstruction. After a brief announcement, the Dan Tower management staff immediately and respectfully led the way for Han Feng.

On the top floor of the Dan Tower, the door to Xuan Kongzi's office was wide open, and he came out to warmly welcome the two.

"Yao Chen, it's been a long time."

When Xuan Kongzi saw Yao Chen, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

“Xuan Kongzi, so many years have passed, and you are still the same as before.”

Yao Chen said with a smile.

Xuan Kongzi has a strong talent for alchemy and is also very powerful in cultivation. He was a formidable rival of Yao Chen back then.

The two became friends through a series of antagonistic encounters, and a deep friendship developed between them.

"In Danta, stability is the only thing to say. Unlike you, you've been through a lot of ups and downs outside, and you seem to have aged a lot."

"Have it?"

Yao Chen touched his smooth chin; he didn't have a beard.

"It's what I see in your eyes."

Xuan Kongzi said.

Yao Chen smiled.

"Now that you mention it, you're all greasy-faced. It seems like you're being treated really well in Danta. You regret it, you regret it!"

If I had chosen to join Danta and secured a stable job, my future path might indeed have been quite different.

When you're out in the world on your own, you're bound to encounter all sorts of unexpected setbacks.

Xuan Kongzi shook his head.

"Alright, let's stop arguing and make the younger generation laugh."

As Xuan Kongzi spoke, his gaze fell upon Han Feng.

"The student surpasses the master, that saying is absolutely true. Yao Chen, your disciple has probably already surpassed you, hasn't he?"

"That's right, don't you even know who taught you that?"

Yao Chen was quite proud and showed off to his old rival.

"Your disciple is also quite good. He has become an eighth-grade alchemist at such a young age. His future is limitless."

Adhering to the principle of friendship, Yao Chen quickly returned the compliment.

Xuan Kongzi smiled gently and moved a little closer.

"Yao Chen, when can we find a time for me to have Ying'er come over and get to know your disciple better?"

Yao Chen's eyes widened.

I never expected that an old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you would have such thoughts?

Without a second thought, Yao Chen nodded in agreement.

"Okay!"

I never expected the opportunity for revenge to come so soon!

Remembering Han Feng's earlier act of bringing Xuan Yi along, Yao Chen decided to reciprocate.

Han Feng, who was following behind, watched the two of them loudly plotting with a helpless expression.

Is it really appropriate for you to be teachers like this?

However, considering that Yao Chen might be referring to more than just himself as a disciple, but possibly his junior brother, Han Feng didn't say anything more.

"Alright, I've come to see you again because I have something important to discuss."

Yao Chen got back to the main topic, his expression turning serious.

"You should still remember Soul Extinction Hall Master, Soul Extinction Life, right?"

Xuan Kongzi paused upon hearing this, and then his expression turned serious.

"Soul annihilates, life is born..."

This name is from a very long time ago.

Back then, the three giants of the Pill Tower fought against this Hall Master of the Soul Palace. Although they only fought against a wisp of his soul and even relied on the power of the Pill Tower's ninth-grade formation, they still almost died.

Xuan Kongzi knew that Hun Miesheng was a powerful expert at the Dou Sheng level, and if he really made a move, the three giants of the Pill Tower would not be able to stop him at all.

Only by asking the elders of the Little Pill Tower to take action might they be able to withstand some of the damage. However, if they want to ensure the safety of the Pill Tower, then they will have to ask the Pill Tower's patriarch to step in.

The key problem is that their patriarch rarely stays in the Pill Tower.

Even the seniors of Little Pill Tower couldn't find the ancestor's whereabouts for a while.

That ancestor might only appear when the Pill Tower is facing a life-or-death crisis.

"Why did you mention him?"

Xuan Kongzi asked.

"I have received reliable intelligence that the Soul Palace is preparing to take action against the Pill Tower this time."

"what?!"

Xuan Kongzi's expression changed drastically, and he immediately raised his hand and waved it to isolate the surrounding space.

He looked at Yao Chen and said seriously:

"I know there are people from the Soul Hall among the alchemists participating in this alchemy gathering, but how can you be sure they will make a move against the Pill Tower?"

This is a very important matter, so Xuan Kongzi cannot afford to take it lightly.

"We've discovered a large number of Soul Hall members outside Saint Pill City. They've already begun surrounding the city. Hasn't your Pill Tower noticed anything at all?"

Yao Chen countered with a question.

Xuan Kongzi's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he muttered, "Impossible, impossible..."

If the Soul Palace surrounded Saint Pill City and the guards failed to notice, there can only be one reason!

There are traitors in the Dan Tower! And more than one!

Taking advantage of the Pill Gathering, when everyone's attention was focused on the event, he had the Soul Hall members sneak into Holy Pill City.

It was precisely because the Dan Association did not have strict screening of outsiders that this loophole was not detected in time.

"Don't send anyone to search carefully now, lest we alert them."

"That's what Yao Chen said."

"Feng'er, just show him the footage monitored by the puppet."

Han Feng nodded and synchronized the vision of the puppets he had placed in Saint Pill City, projecting the image onto the screen.

“Senior Xuan Kongzi, these are the people from the Soul Palace. They are very well hidden. From their appearance, ordinary people would not be able to detect them at all.”

Only a Soul Palace assassin like Han Feng would know the Soul Palace's members inside and out.

Han Feng pointed and explained the suspicious points he had discovered.

Although Xuan Kongzi was a giant in the Pill Tower, when it came to understanding the Soul Palace, he was no match for Han Feng.

He listened attentively, and his belief in Yao Chen's words grew stronger.

The Soul Palace is really planning to take action against the Pill Tower!

"Don't be surprised, hasn't this kind of thing happened a long time ago?"

The medicine dust drifted quietly down.

Xuan Kongzi's face darkened upon hearing this.

Many years ago, the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace fought a great battle. That battle severely damaged the Pill Tower, and it was from that time on that the Pill Tower became more conservative and rarely interfered in other matters.

The reason for this great battle was Soul Void, a genius alchemist among the Soul Clan.

When he entered the Pill Tower, he became a disciple of the tower master at the time. In just forty years, he surpassed many of the Pill Tower's predecessors and was once considered a candidate for the tower's leader.

Unfortunately, due to an accident, his identity as a member of the Soul Clan was exposed, and his plan to seize power had to be changed. He chose to join forces with the Soul Clan to kill the then Tower Master, who was also his teacher.

Chapter 339 On the Eve of the Riot

The hatred between the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower was already formed back then.

Although the Danta itself has become increasingly conservative due to its severe damage, this hatred has not faded with time; instead, it has intensified.

Many of the senior members of the Little Pill Tower today survived that great battle.

Therefore, their hatred for the Soul Clan is no less than that for Han Feng.

They simply lacked the opportunity and the courage to challenge the Soul Clan.

From a rational perspective, the Soul Clan is indeed far stronger than the Pill Tower.

No one can say that their conservatism is wrong.

Why did they attack Danta at this time?

Xuan Kongzi asked.

"It's probably because the Pill Tower has gathered alchemists from all over the continent, so they want to seize their souls."

Yao Chen gave his reasons directly.

"The Soul Hall has been targeting alchemists for quite some time now. I don't believe you didn't notice those tragedies that happened before. As the holy land of all alchemists, you didn't make any statement. Now that things are urgent, shouldn't you show some big brother demeanor?"

Xuan Kongzi smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"This is not something I can decide on my own."

Although he was a giant in the Pill Tower with immense power, he could only act within the bounds of the rules. As for taking the initiative to attack and provoke the Soul Palace, that was not within the Pill Tower's conservative regulations.

“But you’re right. Now that things have come to this, Danta has no choice but to step forward.”

If so many alchemists are killed by the Soul Hall because of the Pill Tower, then the Pill Tower will be disgraced.

Even if they survive this calamity, they will never regain their former glory.

Seeing that Xuan Kongzi had made his stance clear, Yao Chen nodded.

He knew his old friend well; although he could be a bit old-fashioned at times, he was quite astute when it came to important matters.

"I've already told you about this beforehand. Now you need to think carefully about what to do next."
