Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

The man in black robes slowly turned around, his gaze piercing through the darkness as he looked at the person who had just spoken.

"When it comes to the great cause of the clan, no one is exempt from sacrifice."

"including me!"

The person who had spoken earlier fell silent.

He couldn't refute what the man in black robes said.

Although he was furious, he had to admit that the black-robed man's decision was correct. If Shi Kong had exposed the Soul Clan's methods at that time, even if he had survived, it would have been difficult to guarantee that the experts in the Stone Clan would not have discovered the clues.

"Our next task is to find out exactly who Yao Han is."

"He is definitely more than just a so-called challenger!"

The man in black robes gave the order.

The men clasped their hands in acceptance of the order, and then dispersed like smoke, leaving no trace.

------

Han Feng passed through the Stone Realm Gate and left the Stone Realm.

He glanced back at the place filled with the atmosphere of battle, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that the Stone Gate was slightly lit up, as if it had gained a bit of spirituality.

Han Feng felt the energy from the Stone Emperor Pillar in his palm respond, and a bold idea came to his mind.

This Stone Gate also comes from ancient times. Could there be some connection between it and the Stone Emperor Pillar?

However, Han Feng did not want to cause too much of a commotion at this time, so he did not try it. Instead, he continued to conceal himself and flew towards the outside of Stone Wasteland City.

At this time, many powerful individuals have appeared in the once peaceful Stone Wasteland City.

It seems the clan had a premonition and set up a defensive barrier in advance to prevent Han Feng from escaping.

The barrier of Stone Wasteland City can protect against Dou Sheng level experts, but it doesn't have much effect on Han Feng.

He took out the Stone Clan token he had obtained earlier, originally intending it to make future entry and exit more convenient, but after this incident, he probably wouldn't be able to come back for a while.

Han Feng used the token to pass through the defensive barrier. Before the guarding general could react, he was controlled by an invisible spiritual force, blurring his memory of what had just happened.

A few breaths later, Han Feng had already flown far away.

Even if the Stone Clan warriors discovered something amiss, they could only search aimlessly.

At that moment, Shi Jiu, who was patrolling outside, raised his head as if sensing something, and vaguely saw a dark shadow streak across the sky.

He paused for a moment, then subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to call for his companions, but after a moment of silence, Shi Jiu slowly lowered his hand.

"I'm really getting old, my eyesight is failing."

----------

Han Feng left the mountain range where the Stone Clan was located. After several accelerations, he could no longer see that area when he looked back.

Overall, I was quite satisfied with this trip to the Stone Clan.

The only variable is Shi Kong.

The reason Han Feng ultimately chose to kill them was because he wanted to seize leverage over the Soul Clan, thereby getting the Stone Clan to join the fight against the Soul Clan.

However, Shi Kong's self-destruction of his soul indicates that there are other Soul Clan experts within the Stone Clan who cooperate with and restrain each other.

Once someone is about to be exposed, they will immediately take action to remove the obstacle.

This resolute determination almost caused Han Feng to crash and burn, and also made him realize that eliminating the Soul Clan was not an easy task.

Besides the known facts, they must take the initiative to have any chance of turning the future around.

Han Feng did not plan to visit the ancient families again for his next destination.

The Medicine Clan is not easy to join, especially since it has strict rules and harsh laws, and Han Feng really doesn't have a good impression of this clan.

The reason was simple: his teacher, Yao Chen, was someone who had been wrongly accused and expelled from the Yao Clan by its higher-ups.

Since the Medicine Clan considers themselves superior and looks down on their teacher, whose bloodline to the Dou Di is thin, Han Feng naturally wouldn't respect them either.

As it turns out, even without the bloodline of a Dou Di, a person who becomes a Dou Sheng can still become a Dou Sheng.

After all, the Dou Sheng realm is not exclusive to the Dou Di family. Anyone can reach it as long as they have the right mindset, talent, and resources.

Han Feng is not yet confident that he can persuade the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan.

In other words, he doesn't yet have the confidence to defeat an eight-star Dou Sheng.

Moreover, given the pride of these two tribes, it would be difficult to persuade them without exceptional skills.

After pondering for a moment, Han Feng decided to go to the ancient clan again.

The matter with the Stone Clan is settled; I need to communicate with Gu Yuan again.

Chapter 414 The Changes of the Spirit Clan

In the ancient realm, Han Feng seemed quite familiar with the place this time.

Having a powerful backer makes things much easier.

"You defeated Shi Tian?"

Gu Yuan said with some surprise.

As the patriarch of the ancient clan, he was also well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the patriarch of the stone clan.

Although the opponent only had the cultivation of a seven-star Dou Sheng, when he unleashed his full power, he could even contend with an eight-star Dou Sheng.

Such top-tier combat power is extremely rare even among ancient clans.

It is truly commendable that Han Feng was able to defeat Shi Tian.

"A narrow victory."

Han Feng said it casually.

Gu Yuan:......

Although I had a feeling that the other person was faking it, they were still young after all.

"So, the Stone Clan is now on your side?"

Han Feng remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Huh? What's wrong? Didn't you say that Shi Tian accepted your advice?"

"Clan Chief Shi Tian accepted it, but there was a slight unexpected incident."

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

"What accident?"

Han Feng briefly recounted Shi Kong's death and the attitude of the Shi clan towards him, and then he saw Gu Yuan's thick eyebrows furrow together.

"Are you sure that's someone from the Soul Clan?"

"I am sure."

"How are you sure?"

"I can't tell you that."

Gu Yuan took a deep breath.

If a member of the Soul Clan has infiltrated the Stone Clan, and even become an elder of the Stone Clan.

Does that mean the Soul Clan has also infiltrated other ancient families, or even ancient clans?

"So, Shi Tian can't openly support you right now. All he can do is gather the strength of his clansmen and prepare for battle."

Han Feng nodded: "Moreover, there are still members of the Soul Clan hiding within the Stone Clan. Clan Chief Shi Tian cannot make any big moves, otherwise it will also arouse the suspicion of the Soul Clan."

"That really felt like walking on thin ice."

Gu Yuan sighed.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Let's not move around for now. I have a feeling that the Spirit Race is about to face a calamity."

"I've had a trusted confidant keeping an eye on things over there, so I'll know immediately if there are any changes."

Gu Yuan said.

Han Feng nodded.

Through their constant communication, the two have developed a certain level of understanding.

Gu Yuan could sense Han Feng's seriousness about this matter, and he gradually became more attentive to it as well.

Whether it was a matter concerning the Spirit Clan or the Stone Clan, Gu Yuan did his best to help Han Feng within his capabilities.

Of course, as the clan leader, he cannot excessively mobilize the clan's resources for this matter.

This is Gu Yuan's professional ethics.

Gu Yuan will not act rashly until they truly realize the seriousness of the matter.

Moreover, after today's discussion, Gu Yuan has another reason to be cautious.

That means the Soul Clan might have left a contingency plan among the ancient clans.

This is something we have to consider. What if that hidden member of the Soul Clan, like Shi Kong of the Stone Clan, not only concealed his identity well but also rose to the position of elder? Wouldn't that expose many of the ancient clan's secrets to him?

"By the way, you said before that Shi Kong possesses the bloodline of the Stone Emperor?"

Gu Yuan suddenly asked.

Han Feng nodded.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of an answer.

The Devouring Spirit Clan.

Only this race possesses the ability to devour the bloodline of other Dou Di level beings!

The bloodline of the Dou Di is no ordinary bloodline. Apart from members of the same clan, it is extremely difficult for anyone else to refine it.

Only the Devouring Spirit Clan, who once dominated the continent, could possess such heaven-defying abilities by ascending through devouring the bloodlines of Dou Di.

Gu Yuan quickly recalled the time when the eight clans jointly hunted the Devouring Spirit Clan, and how the clan leader of the Devouring Spirit Clan had died at the hands of the Soul Emperor.

"Could it be that he seized the Devouring Spirit King's power back then, or is it that the Devouring Spirit King never died at all?"

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the worries in his heart.

If things were really as he thought, he dared not even imagine how powerful the Soul Clan could become after a thousand years of recuperation and plunder, relying on the abilities of the Devouring Spirit Clan.

"What happens next depends on the changes in the Spirit Race."

This is a testing ground; how to use it depends on whether the other party is truly skilled.

After Han Feng and Gu Yuan finished their discussion, the two parted ways again.

This nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouse was not as difficult to approach as Han Feng had imagined.

He's even easier to talk to than some of the stronger individuals who are a level below him.

Han Feng didn't know if it was because of Xun'er, but in any case, with Gu Yuan's attention, Han Feng's pressure would be lighter.

Returning to the mountain peak, Han Feng saw the spirit butterfly cultivating in the courtyard.

"They're quite serious about it."

Han Feng watched for a while before coming out.

"Yao Han!"

When Lingdie saw Han Feng, her eyes lit up with joy. She quickly put away the spiritual object in her hand and ran to him.

"you are back!"

Han Feng smiled and nodded.

"How have you been staying with the ancient tribe these past few days?"

"It's great. This mountain has an exceptionally rich spiritual energy, even better than the spiritual realm."

"Psylocke said."
