Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Han Feng nodded, then looked into the distance.

"Once this matter is settled, I will not stay any longer."

"Although Danta has won this battle, please do not let your guard down. An even greater crisis may be yet to come."

After saying that, Han Feng disappeared.

Elder Lin's previously relaxed brows furrowed again.

"An even greater crisis..."

What is it?

Yao Chen walked over at this moment.

"Don't think about it too much for now. Danta probably has a lot of things to deal with right now, doesn't he?"

Although the casualties in Danta this time were not heavy and the results were still gratifying, the fact that the Soul Palace had invaded to this extent was a major event that could shock both the Central Plains and the outside world.

How to smoothly navigate the aftermath of this incident requires careful consideration from the upper management of Danta.

Elder Lin nodded, not dwelling on the matter.

We must deal with whatever comes our way, and if something truly terrible happens again in the future, that's something we'll need to consider then.

Now, all they can do is manage Danta well and face any future storms in the best possible condition.

"Yao Chen, we owe you a lot this time."

Elder Lin's words were sincere and earnest.

If Yao Chen and his disciple hadn't revealed the Soul Palace's attack to Xuan Kongzi in advance, they would still have been kept in the dark.

Without those seemingly useless preparations, even if Danta wins this time with the help of a master, it will still suffer heavy casualties.

This outcome is something they cannot bear.

Only by reducing casualties to a certain range can we give an account to all the alchemists in the world.

Yao Chen smiled and said, "Elder Lin, there's no need for thanks. My disciple is now a member of the Pill Tower, and as his teacher, it's only natural that I should do my part."

Elder Lin nodded.

He certainly understood the deeper meaning behind Yao Chen's words.

This kindness will be passed on to his disciple Han Feng, paving the way for his advancement in the Little Pill Tower.

The two parted ways a week later. Elder Lin returned to the Little Pill Tower, while Yao Chen went to find the three giants of the Pill Tower who were dealing with the affairs of Saint Pill City.

"Medicine dust!"

Upon seeing Yao Chen, Xuan Kongzi immediately came to greet him.

What happened on your end just now?

Xuan Kongzi was very curious about how the battle had come to an end.

Elder Lin and Yao Chen suddenly joined their battle and quickly killed the Soul Hall Dou Sheng. They then swiftly quelled the remaining Soul Hall armies led by Dou Zun.

The entire battle ended swiftly and decisively, and the turning point seemed to be the mysterious domain that suddenly appeared above the Dan Tower.

"Someone helped take care of the Soul Palace Master, so Elder Lin and I were free to do our work. It's that simple."

"The Lord of the Soul Hall has been dealt with? That Soul Extinction?!"

Xuan Kongzi's face showed surprise.

"Yes."

Yao Chen smiled and nodded, suddenly feeling a sense of accomplishment as if he had performed a miracle in front of others.

I wasn't this happy when I broke through to the Dou Sheng realm.

Xuan Kongzi swallowed hard.

That's the Lord of the Soul Palace!

That being who, with just a wisp of his soul, had driven the three of them to the brink of despair.

Is this how it's been resolved?

"Wait, what do you mean by 'solution'?"

Xuan Kongzi asked.

Yao Chen paused for a moment, then said in a slightly gentler tone, "They must have repelled them."

Actually, he didn't know what Feng'er had done to that Soul Destroyer.

However, judging from Feng'er's attitude towards the Soul Palace, if they had truly defeated them, then Hun Miesheng should already be completely annihilated, both in body and soul...

Xuan Kongzi nodded.

It would be reasonable to say that they were repelled. Perhaps Hun Miesheng saw that the Soul Palace army had been annihilated and had no hope of victory, so he simply returned.

But to be able to fight Hun Miesheng and hold him off for so long, the expert who helped him must be no ordinary person!

In any case, Danta has weathered this crisis.

Having annihilated more than one Saint, even with the Soul Palace's formidable resources, it will likely take some time to recover.

"By the way, Han Feng is still in the star field. Go and check on him."

Xuan Kongzi then realized what was happening.

Because the Grand Elder went directly to other places to fight against the Soul Palace after leaving, he had not yet had time to inform Xuan Kongzi of Han Feng's situation.

Xuan Kongzi still believes that Han Feng is subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flames in the Star Domain.

Yao Chen nodded.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I can go to the star field by myself."

Do you know how to get in?

Xuan Kongzi pointed out a direction to Yao Chen.

"Are you kidding me? Such obvious stellar power, how could a Dou Sheng like me not sense it?"

Yao Chen replied, then his figure flashed and he flew towards the star field.

Xuan Kongzi smiled gently.

"This old man..."

With the war over, Xuan Kongzi is now much more relaxed.

He looked up at the direction of the star field. At this moment, there was no trace of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which meant that, at least for now, Han Feng was not in danger.

With his teacher's help, even if he can't subdue him, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Xuan Kongzi didn't think much of it and turned back to continue dealing with matters within Saint Pill City.

At this moment, within the star field.

After arriving, Yao Chen looked around and saw that the place was truly filled with stars, which was dazzling.

Where is Feng'er?

Yao Chen spread his soul power, searching for Han Feng's figure.

Deep within the star field, Han Feng had changed his clothes and put on a black robe again.

"teacher."

Han Feng turned around and looked at Yao Chen, who had come looking for him.

"You're here."

Yao Chen smiled.

"So, have you subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames?"

Han Feng nodded, and a blackish-purple flame ignited in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the Three Thousand Blazing Flames flew into the air, transformed into a dragon, and soared freely within the star field.

"This is the Three Thousand Burning Flames, known as the immortal flame? Why is it shaped like a dragon?"

Yao Chen looked on with curiosity.

"It is actually a strange fire raised by the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, but since its original owner disappeared, it has been in a wild state."

Han Feng said slowly.

"Until it was captured by the Dan Tower and imprisoned in the star field, it has been sleeping ever since."

Yao Chen exclaimed, "I never imagined that this fire was actually related to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void!"

"By the way, Feng'er, now that you've subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames, what rank has your 'Burning Technique' reached?"

"I have officially entered the advanced stage of the Heavenly Rank, but I feel that I have not yet reached the limit of the technique."

Han Feng said.

"As long as we continue to refine the strange fire, the grade of the Burning Technique should be able to continue to improve."

"Can he still get promoted?"

Yao Chen gasped.

Wouldn't that allow one to surpass the Heavenly Rank?

It has been upgraded from the original low-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique to the current high-level Heaven Rank technique.

The Burning Decision truly lived up to its own mystique.

"Teacher, what's the situation outside right now?"

Han Feng asked.

"It's alright. Xuan Kongzi and the others are dealing with the aftermath of the Soul Palace invasion. There shouldn't be any major issues for now. What about you? Do you want to go out and show your face now?"

"Wait a while, let the Three Thousand Burning Flames fly for a while longer and absorb more star power."

As soon as Han Feng finished speaking, a spatial passage suddenly opened within the star field.

Xuan Kongzi flew in hastily. He was much more familiar with the star field than Yao Chen, so he didn't go through a lot of trouble to find the person.

"Han Feng, you've subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames?!"

He asked directly.

The Grand Elder has just reported the news that Han Feng has refined the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Upon learning of this, Xuan Kongzi disregarded all other matters and immediately entered the star field to investigate the facts.

“That’s right, Senior Xuan Kongzi, I have already subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames.”

Han Feng said.

“I have never lied to you about this from the very beginning.”

Xuan Kongzi blinked, then burst into laughter.

"Great! Great! Today, two of my Danta's biggest threats have been dealt with. We can finally stop worrying!"

First, the invasion of the Soul Palace was thwarted, which temporarily put an end to the feud between the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace.

This incident also implicated traitors from Danta. After the battle, the Danta enforcement team immediately took them into custody to prevent the leakage of more important intelligence.

Now, the Three Thousand Burning Flames that have plagued the Pill Tower for many years have also been subdued. The one who subdued them is a promising junior, a brilliant alchemist who is expected to ascend to the Lesser Pill Tower in the future.

How can this not be considered a joyous occasion?

"When we first discovered these Three Thousand Burning Flames, we were all very happy. But when we found that no one could subdue them, we felt it was a bit of a problem. It would be a pity to throw them away, but forcibly subduing them would destroy the spirit of the flames. We thought of leaving them to outstanding successors, but we never got around to it. Now we have finally handed them over to the right person."

Xuan Kongzi's words set a conclusion to the events within the star field.

No matter how many people are watching this strange flame, it now belongs to Han Feng.

"I just heard the Grand Elder say that there are also experts from the Soul Hall appearing in the Starfield?"

Xuan Kongzi looked around but found no trace of the Soul Palace experts, nor any remnants of the spatial passage.

"Yes, but I defeated them after I subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames."

Han Feng said.

Xuan Kongzi nodded, not delving into the matter further.
