Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Having finally found leverage over the Soul Clan, if they are unwilling to fight, the chances of the Flame and Thunder Clan defeating them in one fell swoop become increasingly slim, given their reluctant attitude.

"But we are indeed not strong enough to take the initiative."

Han Feng said.

If taking the initiative could change the situation, they would definitely do it. But the current situation is that they can only rely on the ancient clans as the main force.

The ancient race also needs to consider the bigger picture and cannot disregard everything just because they are at war with the Soul Race.

On crucial matters, Gu Yuan's attitude remains clear.

Yao Chen nodded.

At least the ancient clans are willing to take the lead in fighting against the Soul Palace, which is a good thing. If the ancient clans are unwilling to deal with it, then the situation they face will be even more difficult.

"What are your plans next? Which Soul Hall will you deal with first?"

Yao Chen asked.

"This matter is not urgent for now."

Han Feng said.

"If the Soul Clan doesn't take action, then there's no need to rush to resolve the Soul Palace's issues. We can just slowly fight them in the arena."

"Apart from Zhongzhou, the Soul Hall branches on the other continents will be dealt with by the Soul Extermination Division."

Han Feng pointed to the layout on the map.

"First stabilize the surrounding continents and encircle the Central Plains, then proceed gradually."

Yao Chen nodded, acknowledging Han Feng's strategic plan.

"During this period, we will also work hard to refine pills and purchase them from the Pill Tower to ensure a sufficient supply of pills during future wars."

"Yes, plans are always changing, so postponing the war isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Han Feng said.

They had originally prepared for a swift battle, but the Soul Clan's reaction made the situation unpredictable again.

All they can do now is to make the preparations as perfect as possible.

"I've assigned a mission to my junior brother; he's going to various parts of the continent soon."

Han Feng explained his arrangements to Yao Chen.

"This is a good thing."

Yao Chen expressed his agreement.

"A Dou Zun's cultivation level is enough to allow him to roam freely in other continents."

If Xiao Yan were to return to the Northwest Continent, his current strength would undoubtedly place him among the top few overlords.

“Junior brother, I will assign some of the Soul Extermination Division’s subordinates to you. You can take them on missions, and if you encounter the Soul Hall, just deal with it.”

Han Feng said to Xiao Yan.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Xiao Yan patted his chest and assured him.

Han Feng threw out a black token. The token contained a space with a hundred-person Soul Extermination Division team, paired with a Dou Zun-level puppet.

Xiao Yan caught it steadily, his heart filled with eager anticipation.

This training trip looks like it won't be boring.

Going alone versus going with an army creates a completely different impression.

"Teacher, please continue to manage things at Starfall Pavilion. My junior brother and I will go to different places to resolve the matter of the Soul Palace as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Yao Chen nodded.

"By the way, you asked me to gather information on the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, and now I'm making progress."

"That's what Yao Chen said."

"Has the teacher received the information as well?" Han Feng wondered to himself.

He already knew that the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame would appear at the Space Trading Conference.

However, Yao Chen's words confirmed the accuracy of this news once again.

"The Space Trading Conference is considered the highest-level auction in Zhongzhou, and it is attended by many mysterious Dou Sheng powerhouses."

Xiao Yan was slightly startled upon hearing this.

An auction that even a Dou Sheng level expert would attend—that's truly extraordinary.

The things that could interest a Dou Sheng would have to be treasures of the eighth or even ninth rank, and if it were cultivation techniques or fighting skills, they would have to be at the Heavenly Rank.

"Okay, just let me know in advance when the Space Trading Conference starts, and I'll be back."

Han Feng said.

"Um, I'd like to participate too."

Xiao Yan then raised his hand and spoke.

Seeing that the two were looking at him, Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly: "I also want to see the world and see what's on display at the highest-level auction in Zhongzhou."

"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."

"That's what Yao Chen said."

There's still some time before the Space Trading Conference, so there's no need to rush.

"Junior brother, let's go back to the Northwest Continent first."

Han Feng said.

"Okay."

Speaking of which, he hasn't been home to visit in a long time, and he wonders how his father and two older brothers are doing in the Black Corner Region.

The two brothers stayed at the Starfall Pavilion for two days before setting off for the Northwest Continent.

In the past two days, Mu Qingluan learned about Xiao Yan's breakthrough to Dou Zun. Without saying a word, she began a deep seclusion, saying she wouldn't come out until she broke through to Dou Zun.

The feeling of being surpassed by someone who was once inferior to you is indescribable.

Whether she felt lost or rallied to catch up, in short, Mu Qingluan broke down.

On the way back to the Northwest Continent, Xiao Yan was in a good mood.

This trip to the Starfall Pavilion was a chance to finally show off my divine power in front of others and fulfill one of my wishes.

The teacher's composure was remarkable, especially that of Mu Qingluan, the hateful senior sister who had always bullied him. Seeing her look of utter discomfiture was incredibly satisfying.

With Han Feng leading the way, the journey back to the Northwest Continent took very little time.

If Xiao Yan were to fly on his own, without the aid of a large spatial passage, it would take him about two months.

However, with Han Feng directly guiding them, they arrived at the border of the Northwest Continent in just half a day.

"Let's start here and clean up all the nearby Soul Halls."

Han Feng didn't choose to teleport directly back to the Black Corner Region because he wanted to let Xiao Yan experience the feeling of destroying the Soul Palace first, so that he would have good experience when he carried out missions alone later.

Chapter 432 First Extermination

Northwest Continent, a branch of the Soul Palace.

The resurrected Soul Palace envoy, clad in black robes, searches for target souls among the nearby sects, both large and small.

For the Soul Hall now, concealing their identities is no longer a concern, so they are even more unscrupulous. Once they discover a promising talent, they take action without caring about anything else.

In the Northwest Continent, many weak sects suffered greatly from the invasions of the Soul Palace.

In times of chaos, the saying "weakness is the original sin" is vividly demonstrated.

Only in times like these will heroes continuously stand up to resist the brutal abusers.

"found it."

Xiao Yan glanced at the Soul Palace branch not far away, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

On his way here, he had already seen those who had been violated and imprisoned by the Soul Palace.

Now they don't even bother to hide anymore, leaving the corpses they've used carelessly in the mountains, as if they're planning to slip away after this job.

Xiao Yan wielded the Xuan Heavy Ruler, condensing a powerful ruler beam, and struck towards the Soul Palace.

boom!

With the barrier shattered, the messengers and protectors of the Soul Palace mobilized and surrounded Xiao Yan.

"Has someone else arrived?"

"For someone to come to your door like that, I really don't know if you're stupid or..."

Before the protector could finish speaking, he was swatted away by a shadowy figure.

"So fast."

Seeing the swiftness of Xiao Yan's attack, the others immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

This time, the one who came is a real expert.

Xiao Yan swung the ruler again, his gaze sweeping over the remaining members of the Soul Palace.

Snapped!

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers, and puppets dressed in the uniforms of the Soul Slaughtering Division quietly appeared behind him.

"Execute! Execute the Soul-Slaying Division!"

Upon seeing this iconic symbol, the members of the Soul Palace instantly panicked.

"Don't be afraid! Follow the plan!"

At this moment, the Soul Palace Venerable, who was guarding this place, stepped forward to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Upon seeing the Soul Palace Venerable emerge to deal with the situation, the members of the Soul Palace took their positions, formed hand seals, and activated the formation they had previously set up.

"Hmph, I knew you would come to cause trouble, so I set up this inescapable net, making it impossible for you to escape!"

The Soul Palace Venerable looked at Xiao Yan and the group of puppets behind him and sneered.

Xiao Yan glanced at the rising array around him, his expression calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

With his current strength, he is not afraid of this level of formation at all.

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan not only improved his cultivation level, but also his soul power.

Wow!

The next instant, Xiao Yan's soul power dispersed, and the Fallen Heart Flame, empowered by his soul power, transformed into a fire dragon, flying towards the core of the formation.

The Venerable of the Soul Palace immediately intervened.

"It's no use. Even if you're a Dou Zun, you can't escape from this Heavenly Net Formation!"

The Venerable of the Soul Palace seemed to have great confidence in this formation.

"is it?"

Xiao Yan raised one hand and clenched it slightly.

boom!

The fire dragon instantly changed shape and exploded, revealing the figure of a giant fire dragon.

"The Fallen Idol!"

The flame laws within Xiao Yan's body rapidly intertwined, and he controlled the flame giant, striking the Soul Palace Venerable with a palm.

"The Prison of Ten Thousand Souls!"

The Soul Palace Venerable unleashed a fighting technique imbued with a chilling resentment, but he was unaware of the Fallen Heart Flame's effect on the soul body.

In the very instant of their exchange, the "Ten Thousand Souls Prison" emitted a sound like melting snow.
