The hatred between the Hall of Souls and the Pill Tower had been forged since then.
Although the Pill Tower became increasingly conservative due to being severely injured, this hatred would not perish with time but instead intensified.
Many seniors currently in the Small Pill Tower are survivors of that great war.
Therefore, their hatred for the Soul Clan is no less than Han Feng's.
It's just that they didn't have such an opportunity or the courage to challenge the Soul Clan.
Discussed from a rational perspective, the Soul Clan is indeed much stronger than the Pill Tower.
No one can say their conservatism is wrong.
"Why do they want to take action against the Pill Tower at this time?"
Xuan Kongzi asked.
"Perhaps because the Pill Tower has now gathered alchemists from all over the continent, so they want to snatch their souls."
Yao Chen gave a straightforward reason.
"The Hall of Souls attacking alchemists is not a matter of a day or two. When those tragic cases happened before, I don't believe you didn't notice. As the holy land for all alchemists, not making any statement, now that the fire is burning your eyebrows, shouldn't you show the demeanor of a big brother?"
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi smiled bitterly.
"This kind of thing is not something I can decide alone."
Although he is a giant figure of the Pill Tower and has huge power, he can only execute things within the rules. As for actively attacking and provoking the Hall of Souls, this is not within the Pill Tower's conservative regulations.
"But you're right. Now that things have come to this, the Pill Tower must stand up no matter what."
If so many alchemists are killed by the Hall of Souls because of the Pill Gathering, the Pill Tower's reputation will be ruined.
Even if they survive this catastrophe, they will no longer have their past glory.
Seeing Xuan Kongzi clarify his attitude, Yao Chen nodded.
He knows this old friend; although sometimes a bit rigid, he is still clear-headed on major issues.
"The matter has been told to you in advance. You have to think carefully about what to do next."
Yao Chen reminded: "What I told you before was not a joke. If Hun Miesheng really comes, how to stop him... those seniors in the Small Pill Tower should be invited out, right?"
Xuan Kongzi nodded.
"I definitely have to report such a major event to Elder Lin. Rest assured, a specific plan will definitely be given today."
"By the way, if the target of the Hall of Souls is the Three Thousand Burning Flame, then the Star Domain is also a trouble."
Xuan Kongzi frowned.
If the Three Thousand Burning Flame wakes up from its slumber and no one restrains it, it will definitely cause massive destruction.
Although Xuan Kongzi had prepared a plan long ago, if the factor of the Hall of Souls causing trouble is added, this plan might not be that reliable.
Han Feng said at this time: "Senior Xuan Kongzi, I will solve the matter of the Three Thousand Burning Flame. I won't let it destroy the Holy Pill City."
"Oh? You have a way?"
Xuan Kongzi looked at Han Feng.
"I will refine it."
Xuan Kongzi raised an eyebrow, "Don't you already have the Mysterious Yellow Flame? Refining two Heavenly Flames is extremely dangerous."
"And I must remind you, this Three Thousand Burning Flame is not so easy to subdue. I tried before but failed."
Yao Chen patted his old friend's shoulder.
"I say Xuan Kongzi, you don't need to worry about the Heavenly Flame!"
"If Feng'er says he can help you solve it, then he definitely can!"
"Yao Chen, why are you also messing around? Forgot how you got the Bone Chilling Flame back then? How many people died in the God-Falling Ice Plain?"
Xuan Kongzi said seriously.
God-Falling Ice Plain...
Hearing this place name, Yao Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and a pang of severe pain suddenly surfaced in his heart.
One sentence silenced Yao Chen.
Xuan Kongzi didn't know the reason for Yao Chen's silence, thinking he had figured it out, and continued: "The strength of that Three Thousand Burning Flame has already surpassed the Peak of Dou Venerate. If it riots, Han Feng really might not be able to withstand it."
"You have to know, that is an immortal fire famous for its endurance! Without overwhelming power, it cannot be forcefully subdued."
Xuan Kongzi said: "This time we are just letting everyone try their luck, not actually holding out much hope."
"Then are we not letting everyone try this time?"
Han Feng asked.
Xuan Kongzi fell silent upon hearing this.
"Still have to try..."
If the words spoken by the Pill Tower are retracted for various reasons, it will damage the Pill Tower's reputation, so Xuan Kongzi cannot cancel it.
"Fine, I will increase manpower to pay attention to support then. Han Feng, remember to act according to your ability and absolutely do not be careless!"
Xuan Kongzi really values Han Feng, this junior with superb alchemy skills. If the other party joins the Pill Tower, perhaps he can bring the Pill Tower to a new height.
If he is injured or even dies because of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, it would be a loss to the entire alchemy world!
Han Feng nodded.
"Senior Xuan Kongzi, the Hall of Souls is coming aggressively this time; be sure to be careful."
Xuan Kongzi nodded: "Rest assured, the Pill Tower is not as weak as you imagine. Even the Hall of Souls shouldn't expect to get an advantage easily."
Yao Chen had recovered his senses at this time, but he seemed a bit tired, rubbed his head, and said: "If there's any place you need us, just ask. I'm a Dou Saint now anyway."
Xuan Kongzi smiled: "Of course we welcome you lending a helping hand."
After informing Xuan Kongzi of the news, Yao Chen and Han Feng left the room.
"Do you think he can handle this matter well?"
Yao Chen asked casually.
Han Feng didn't answer this question directly.
"Teacher, actually no matter what Senior Xuan Kongzi does, it doesn't affect our arrangements. After all, I originally didn't plan to rely on the Pill Tower to solve the problem."
Yao Chen sighed at this time.
"War is never a good thing at any time."
"But there's no way. If the enemy comes, we have to fight back fiercely. This time, my old bones also have to move."
Han Feng said: "Teacher, you are in your prime; you are not old bones."
For the Dou Saint realm, not living a thousand years is considered young.
"Haha, anyway, it's been a long time since I took action. I don't know if I still have the skills from back then."
"Teacher, you'd better take it easy."
...
On the top floor of the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi closed the door and pondered for a long time before making a plan.
Since he didn't know who in the Pill Tower might be a traitor, this matter couldn't be made too big; he could only find people he absolutely trusted to make arrangements.
Absolutely trusted people... only those new generation members with clear backgrounds.
They grew up under Xuan Kongzi's watch and had no real power in their hands, so the probability of being instigated to rebel was very low. On the contrary, those elders and seniors Xuan Kongzi worked with, Xuan Kongzi didn't know them very well, and no one could ensure their safety.
Of course, Xuan Kongzi knew that most people in the Pill Tower were still reliable, but they couldn't afford the slightest mistake at this time.
Xuan Kongzi listed the personnel he had decided on and finally made up his mind.
Although some of these personnel are still very young, circumstances change. As disciples of the Pill Tower, they have to hold up at critical moments.
This might become the biggest disaster the Pill Tower has faced in history.
The Hall of Souls actively invaded to snatch the souls of alchemists. The many alchemists in the Holy Pill City are all targeted.
In an extremely short time, Xuan Kongzi needs to mobilize enough army power to resist this crisis.
But it can't be too obvious, to prevent the Hall of Souls from taking action directly and cutting off their preparation time.
At this time, he must first rely on this new generation. Although their strength is not that strong, they have hot blood and spiritual reverence for the Pill Tower.
They can be responsible for the surveillance and organization in the first link, mobilizing the cultivators in the city to carry out partial counterattacks, so that after the Hall of Souls takes action, the cultivators in the city won't be without a backbone and fall into chaos.
This is a very crucial step, and their loyalty is very precious.
If the preparation stage is known by traitors, the Hall of Souls will definitely make corresponding changes, and the effect won't be great then.
Of course, because the strength of the new generation is not that formidable, it is still necessary to let those seniors in the Small Pill Tower take action.
The formations in the city are also very important.
The reason why the three giants of the Pill Tower could confront the Hall of Souls powerhouse possessing a separated soul of Hun Miesheng last time was relying on the Pill Tower's great formation.
Those dust-covered formations must all be utilized in time, striving to block the Hall of Souls powerhouses in the outer city.
Compared to the inner city, the battle space in the outer city is much larger. If a melee breaks out, the damage to the city will also be minimal.
After letting his trusted troops secretly pass the list, Xuan Kongzi turned and went to the Small Pill Tower, preparing to discuss with the senior experts inside.
...
Han Feng and Yao Chen returned to their room.
"Teacher, I'm going out for a bit. I ran into some people I know earlier."
"En, go."
Yao Chen sat cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate.
He needs to sharpen his blade properly before tomorrow.
Leaving the Pill Tower, Han Feng found Tang Zhen first.
Seeing Han Feng, Tang Zhen was very excited, directly stepping forward and bowing: "Mr. Han Feng, you are truly too formidable today. A Rank 9 pill, this is Tang's first time seeing it!"
Han Feng smiled.
"Valley Master Tang is too polite. The path of alchemy is neither hard nor easy, just practice makes perfect."
Saying that, Han Feng nodded to Tang Huo'er, who had been staring at him.
"How has Miss Tang been recently?"
"Mr. Han, I am very well!"
Tang Huo'er nodded heavily.
"Are you proficient in manipulating the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire?"
Han Feng asked with a smile.
Tang Huo'er directly summoned the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire in her body, and a silver lightning dragon as thick as an arm hovered outside her body.
"The Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire is very easy to use. Thank you, Mr. Han, for your full assistance before!"
Seeing this, Han Feng also stretched out his hand. A silver dragon flew out from his fingertip and intertwined with the silver dragon on Tang Huo'er.
Tang Huo'er looked at the scene before her in surprise.
Mr. Han's Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire is actually so compatible with the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire in my body?
Clearly, father's Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire is very irritable and roars every time it sees me.
Tang Zhen watched from the side and complained in his heart.
With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Han Feng's Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire was already stronger than the one in his own body.
Both are the power of one dragon separated from the nine dragons, but why could Han Feng nurture it so fast?
Tang Zhen even vaguely felt that the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire currently in Han Feng's body was already stronger than the main fire in the sect.
When the two silver dragons intertwined, a wisp of lightning law was injected from Han Feng's lightning dragon into Tang Huo'er's lightning dragon.
Tang Huo'er's body shuddered subconsciously, and then her cheeks turned rosy.
Mr. Han Feng's power is so warm...
After a moment of haziness, Tang Huo'er realized with hindsight. She found that the energy of the Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire in her body actually suddenly increased by a notch!
Han Feng's slight revelation benefited Tang Huo'er immensely.
Tang Huo'er looked at Han Feng in pleasant surprise.
Han Feng smiled and nodded to the girl, then withdrew the silver dragon and turned to look at Tang Zhen.
"Valley Master Tang, I came this time because I have a matter to discuss with you."
"I know, it's for Mr. Han Feng's Junior Brother, right?"
Tang Zhen patted his chest.
"Rest assured, no matter what kind of secret technique in the Burning Flame Valley, Mr. Han Feng's Junior Brother can learn it, as long as it's not widely spread."
Han Feng was stunned upon hearing this, then bowed in return: "Thank you, Valley Master Tang, for fulfilling my wish."
"However, what I want to say now is not this matter."
"Oh?"
Tang Zhen resentfully withdrew his hand.
"I wonder what matter Mr. Han Feng wants to say?"
Han Feng pondered for a moment and said: "I discovered traces of the Hall of Souls outside the Holy Pill City just now."
"What, Hall of Souls?!"
Tang Zhen was shocked in his heart.
Such a powerful force actually took the initiative to come to the Holy Pill City?
"I remember the relationship between the Hall of Souls and the Pill Tower is not good, and the Hall of Souls even has a vicious record of capturing alchemists. Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Tang Zhen's face changed.
"Is the target of the Hall of Souls the alchemists currently in the Holy Pill City?"
"Valley Master Tang is wise."
Han Feng replied.
Tang Zhen's face darkened.
"How dare they? This is the Pill Tower!"
"The Pill Tower is not the strongest either. If the Hall of Souls is determined to take action, the Pill Tower cannot stop them."
Han Feng said slowly.
It's not that he is damaging the prestige of the Pill Tower, but this is the fact.
Currently, the strongest in the Pill Tower, Elder Lin in the Small Pill Tower, is only at the Two-Star Dou Saint cultivation.
Placed in everyone's eyes, he is naturally a supreme powerhouse, but placed in the eyes of the Hall of Souls, he is just so-so.
"Does Mr. Han mean... the Pill Tower is also in danger this time?"
Tang Zhen asked with a heavy tone.
Han Feng nodded.
"Coming to find you this time is just to remind you that the Holy Pill City might soon fall into chaos of war."
"Leaving at this time is not a wise move either. There are Hall of Souls experts monitoring outside the Holy Pill City. It's hard to guarantee whether the other party will attack. If you end up alone, the outcome will probably be even worse."
Hearing this, Tang Zhen sighed.
"What Mr. Han said makes sense. Since this is the case, when the Pill Tower faces disaster this time, I, Tang Zhen, will contribute my part."
Tang Huo'er beside him also put on a serious face, looked at Han Feng, and said earnestly: "Rest assured, Mr. Han, our Burning Flame Valley will not sit idly by!"
Seeing his daughter so brave, Tang Zhen felt both emotional and speechless in his heart.
My silly daughter, that's the Hall of Souls!
As the top two forces in the Central Plains, the duel between the Hall of Souls and the Pill Tower, no matter what, it's not the Burning Flame Valley's turn to speak.
Saying words so fully now will harm your father!
Han Feng smiled and nodded to Tang Huo'er: "Thank you, Miss Tang, for speaking out for justice, but acting according to your ability is enough."
