Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"You finally came!"

"What, you've been waiting for me all this time?"

Han Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Of course, with the country in crisis, how could the Prince of Zhennan be absent?"

Sikong Chan smiled.

"Your cultivation level..."

Han Feng noticed the aura emanating from Sikong Chan; it was the unmistakable pressure of a Saint.

"Breakthrough?"

"Hmm, if I still can't break through after your help, then I'll have wasted my time as empress."

"With the breakthrough to Dou Sheng, this crisis should be much easier to resolve, right?"

"It's not that easy. Some things can't be solved by brute force."

Sikong Chan said.

"Come in with me first."

Sikong Chan brought Han Feng to the ancestral land of the imperial palace.

"When I arrived, I saw more than one battle, large and small."

Han Feng said.

"Based on my understanding of you, you shouldn't be able to sit still."

"Hehe, Prince Zhennan, you know me very well, don't you?"

Sikong Chan said with a smile.

"Whether those people were misled or wanted to claim fiefdoms and become kings themselves, they were nothing but clowns."

Sikong Chan didn't take those people seriously.

"What I'm more worried about now is something else."

"Oh? What is it?"

"In the ancestral land of the imperial city, there is a mysterious fire crystal stone with a warning message on it."

Sikong Chan said.

"Nine stars aligned in the sky, evil spirits are about to descend."

Upon hearing this, Han Feng's pupils contracted sharply.

"Nine stars aligned in the sky?"

Isn't this a characteristic of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame when it was born?

In the previous life, before the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was born, there was a strange phenomenon of nine stars aligning.

And this time is actually very close.

Are you sure this news is true?

Han Feng asked.

"Yes, this is a warning from Suzaku."

Sikong Chan said with a serious expression.

Fire Crystal Stone wouldn't have written that sentence for no reason.

"Can this fire crystal be used to contact the Vermilion Bird?"

Han Feng asked.

Sikong Chan shook her head.

"If we could get the help of the Vermilion Bird, the evil spirits from beyond the realm might not be so frightening."

Han Feng said.

"As far as I know, when the four divine beasts descended upon the Dou Qi Continent, they were also subject to some kind of restriction."

Sikong Chan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The Dou Qi Continent is shielded by a special force, making it difficult for outsiders to locate."

“If you hadn’t learned about this from Qinglong, none of us would have imagined that the extraterrestrial evil race would descend again.”

Han Feng's eyes flickered slightly.

Qinglong's explanation for this matter is that all the changes were due to himself.

The spatial-temporal fluctuations emanating from him were too abnormal, which is why they attracted the attention of powerful individuals.

However, when Han Feng asked how to deal with it, Qinglong did not give a direct answer, but only told Han Feng to protect the Dou Qi Continent.

Could this statement suggest that the four ancient mythical beasts were powerless to prevent this impending disaster?

After all, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the whereabouts of the divine beast are now unknown.

"How is your practice of the 'Vermilion Bird Purification Canon' going?"

"It's alright. After mastering the cultivation, my combat strength has increased significantly."

Sikong Chan lit a ball of Nanming Li Fire in her hand and casually played with it.

Now, she has a more skillful control over the flames of the Holy Realm.

"Want to exchange a few moves?"

Han Feng asked with a smile.

"Okay."

A fighting spirit ignited in Sikong Chan's eyes.

The two arrived at an alternate dimension, and Sikong Chan gradually released her aura.

"No need to hold back, just go all out."

Han Feng said.

Sikong Chan's gaze sharpened, and then she decisively launched her attack.

The two of them used fire attacks in perfect unison.

Sikong Chan had mastered the art of using the Nanming Li Huo technique, and Han Feng was not to be outdone.

Within the alternate dimension, raging flames burned from the void, staining the dark abyss crimson.

"This is the first time I've fought with all my might since breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm."

Sikong Chan fought with increasing courage, feeling that her compatibility with the "Vermilion Bird Purification Manual" had improved even further.

"Hehe, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Han Feng smiled.

"Yes, the battles to come won't be easy."

The two stopped fighting, walked out of the sweltering alternate dimension, and returned to the palace hall.

"Tell me, what brings you to the Southern Li Empire this time?"

"The Soul Palace is about to take action against the entire Dou Qi Continent. I happened to be approaching Nanli, so I came here first to take a look."

"The Soul Palace? Hmph!"

Sikong Chan's tone revealed a hint of disdain for this power.

Compared to the time the Sikong family served the Vermilion Bird, the Soul Palace's "long" history is indeed nothing remarkable.

But what can you do when they have the Soul Clan as their powerful backer?

"Don't be careless. The Soul Palace's return this time is probably with some kind of order. They want to stir up trouble across the entire continent so they can do other things."

"No matter what schemes the Soul Palace may have, I will absolutely not allow them to run rampant in the Southern Li Empire!"

Sikong Chan said domineeringly.

Chapter 422 Beast Domain

Han Feng smiled and nodded.

"I believe you have the ability, but..."

Han Feng paused, which drew Sikong Chan's attention.

"But what?"

"However, the current situation is that we don't have that much time."

Han Feng said.

"Nine stars aligned in the sky; I know what time it is."

Sikong Chan's expression became more serious.

"How much longer?"

“Just in the last few years.”

Han Feng sighed.

"So we need to take advantage of the time we still have and settle things with the Soul Clan first."

"how do you want to do it?"

Sikong Chan asked.

The Soul Clan is one of the eight ancient clans, and Sikong Chan had long heard of its power. Let alone the Southern Continent, even if the power of several continents were gathered together, it would be wishful thinking to fight against the Soul Clan.

For the Southern Li Empire, a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) is already an extremely powerful existence. It has taken so many years for them to produce only one such saint. However, if placed within the Soul Clan, there are probably countless Dou Sheng, more than one could count on one's fingers.

"I have considered many things myself, but I also need your help."

Han Feng turned slightly to the side and looked at Sikong Chan.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Sikong Chan appeared extremely decisive and efficient, without being petty at all.

In her eyes, helping Han Feng was also helping herself and the entire Southern Li Empire.

That's why the title of Prince of Zhennan wasn't given for nothing.

Han Feng smiled slightly. In his eyes, Sikong Chan was a very good business partner.

Not only is he shrewd and capable, but he is also exceptionally talented and has great potential for the future.

If the crisis of the Soul Clan is resolved, she might have a chance to enter the high-level Dou Sheng realm in the future, or even break through to the Dou Di realm. It's not impossible.

Han Feng thought for a moment and then explained his arrangements to Sikong Chan in detail.

"The first hurdle for the Soul Clan in unifying the continent is the other ancient families."

These ancient families are now being integrated through the efforts of the ancient clans.

Even though the Soul Clan is very strong now, they would have to pay an extremely heavy price to defeat these families.

The reason why the Soul Clan was able to defeat the Ancient Clan in the previous life was because the Soul Emperor summoned the Emperor Weapon and used the bloodline of his clansmen to sacrifice to the Emperor Weapon, which made it unleash power comparable to a half-step Dou Di. This is why the Ancient Clan was defeated in the final war.

At that time, the Soul Clan could be said to have very few pure-blooded members.

Injure one thousand enemies, and self-inflict eight hundred.

These things were not important to the Soul Emperor. He was a ruthless and ambitious man. As long as he could achieve his goals, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his entire clan.

What Han Feng and his group could do was twofold: first, help the other ancient families fight against the Soul Clan; and second, launch a final attack after the Soul Clan and the other ancient families had finished their battle.

If it were when he was still a low-level Dou Sheng, Han Feng might not have had such thoughts, but now that he has killed a Soul Realm expert, Han Feng has a higher understanding of his own strength.

Even if he still can't beat a nine-star Dou Sheng, he still has a chance to fight an eight-star Dou Sheng.

Moreover, he will not stand still in the next two years. Although the Nine Stars in the Sky is a dangerous signal that the evil race is about to come, it also means another kind of opportunity for Han Feng, which is... the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
