Regarding the Burning Flame Valley, Han Feng values them quite highly. His target for winning over is not just Tang Zhen, but the entire sect force behind him, as well as that Dou Saint Ancestor.
Although the manpower of the Burning Flame Valley coming to the Holy Pill City is not much, as long as Tang Zhen experiences this incident of resisting the Hall of Souls, future cooperation will be easy to discuss.
After all, having a precedent, resisting the Hall of Souls and even the Soul Clan later will become perfectly logical.
Leaving Tang Zhen's side, Han Feng went to the Chen sisters.
Due to Han Feng's special instructions, the two didn't follow Ye Xinlan to the Ye family's station but found a restaurant near the Pill Gathering to wait.
Han Feng came to the private room of the restaurant and saw the Chen sisters.
Meeting these two, Han Feng was relatively relaxed.
The Chen family's background didn't need Han Feng to win over. He came here purely to remind the two and let them follow behind his team to avoid being killed by Hall of Souls experts.
After all, strictly speaking, Chen Yunshu, who now holds power in the Chen family, can be considered a trusted subordinate cultivated by himself. The Chen family is even called an overlord in a large city at the junction of the Northern Region and the Central Region, which is a relatively important family force.
"Yunshu greets Mr. Han."
As the elder sister, Chen Yunshu was thorough in etiquette. Chen Xiaoyu appeared more lively; even after so many years, she still hadn't faded the childishness of the past.
"Elder Han! You were too formidable today!"
Chen Xiaoyu's face was flushed, her eyes full of admiration.
Now standing in front of her is the champion of this session's Pill Gathering, a Rank 9 Alchemy Grandmaster!
The most crucial thing is that this big shot actually knows her.
"Your performance was also not bad. A Rank 7 Junior Level Alchemist refining a Rank 7 Intermediate Level pill. Don't slack off in the future; you have the hope of becoming a Rank 8 Alchemist."
Hearing Han Feng's praise, Chen Xiaoyu was excited in her heart.
Although Han Feng didn't establish a master-disciple relationship with her, in Chen Xiaoyu's heart, Han Feng is her teaching benefactor.
Now hearing the benefactor's encouragement, her fighting spirit instantly soared, wishing she could go back right now and refine pills day and night.
"What are your plans next?"
Han Feng looked at Chen Yunshu.
Chen Yunshu replied: "The Pill Gathering is over, I have to return to the family."
"What about Xiaoyu?"
"I will also follow my sister back, stay at home for a period, and then come to the Pill Tower."
Chen Xiaoyu is now a Rank 7 Alchemist, considered mid-to-high level in the Pill Tower. Plus her excellent performance at the Pill Gathering, she will be treated as a key cultivation target by the Pill Tower in the future.
Han Feng nodded.
"If you want to go back, wait a little longer. A major event will happen in the Pill Tower these few days, and it will be quite dangerous. You guys come to the rear with me."
"Dangerous?"
Both Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Yunshu were stunned.
In the jurisdiction of the Pill Tower, and in a core city like the Holy Pill City, they couldn't think of what danger there could be.
Han Feng didn't explain much about this.
"You'll know when the time comes. The rear is safer than the front line, but there will also be corresponding tasks."
Hearing Han Feng say this, the Chen sisters immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order.
The two were not the type to get to the bottom of things. Since Han Feng made a request, they completely obeyed, not daring to have the slightest rebellion.
"Follow me right now, pack your things."
Han Feng stood up and said.
The two women quickly tidied up, then followed Han Feng to the Pill Tower.
After arranging a room for the two women, Han Feng let them stand by and wait for notice.
A few hours later.
Xuan Kongzi walked out of the Small Pill Tower and immediately notified Yao Chen, asking him to go to the top floor for consultation.
"Let's go, Xuan Kongzi should have discussed an outcome over there."
Yao Chen said to Han Feng.
The master and disciple came to the top floor of the Pill Tower again.
Xuan Kongzi welcomed the two in, then sealed off the surrounding space.
"I have already discussed with Elder Lin of the Small Pill Tower. He will arrange for five elders to fight, all experts at the Half-Saint level."
"Five Half-Saints?"
Yao Chen nodded slightly.
The Pill Tower's foundation is indeed very strong, able to dispatch five Half-Saints at once.
"Will that Elder Lin not take action?"
Yao Chen asked.
"He will take action at the critical moment."
Xuan Kongzi replied.
"As for another elder, he needs to guard the Small Pill Tower, so he cannot leave."
The resources in the Small Pill Tower are extremely rich, so the elders inside cannot all come out; someone needs to keep watch.
In case of falling for the trick of luring the tiger out of the mountain, the Pill Tower's many years of storage would be destroyed in one day.
"Five Half-Saints should be able to deal with it."
Yao Chen said.
They had roughly figured out the details of the experts in the Hall of Souls; there weren't that many experts at the Half-Saint level.
But there is no guarantee whether the Hall of Souls has asked for help from the Soul Clan.
If the Soul Clan intervenes in this matter, the situation will be completely different.
Xuan Kongzi continued: "There is a spatial array in the Holy Pill City that can quickly dispatch army power. I have already arranged for people to activate it. Once war breaks out in the city, the army will rush to the four urban areas immediately."
There are not only alchemists in the Pill Tower; combat power is also stored, and quite a lot at that.
Xuan Kongzi further detailed some plans to deal with tomorrow's storm, and Yao Chen and Han Feng listened carefully.
"The plan is fine; specifically, it depends on how the other party makes a move tomorrow."
Yao Chen said.
"The Hall of Souls has a life-and-death feud with me, and they are our common enemy. Xuan Kongzi, tomorrow we fight side by side, don't hold us back."
Xuan Kongzi laughed: "Although my current cultivation is not as high and strong as yours, don't underestimate me either!"
"Han Feng, early tomorrow morning, I will gather the top ten alchemists of this Pill Gathering to enter the Star Domain. Accompanying them is the Great Elder of the Pill Tower. He will be responsible for the specific arrangements, and will also keep an eye on that Hall of Souls Dou Venerate. Once there's any abnormal movement, we will also take action immediately!"
"Of course, I know your strength is not ordinary, so please also keep an eye out. Absolutely do not let the Three Thousand Burning Flame erupt!"
Han Feng nodded: "Senior Xuan Kongzi, rest assured. Leave the inside of the Star Domain to me."
After giving instructions on specific matters, Han Feng and Yao Chen returned to their room.
"According to your estimation, inside the Star Domain is the most dangerous, right?"
Yao Chen said.
Han Feng nodded.
"The Star Domain is a breakthrough point. If they use the Three Thousand Burning Flame to detonate the Star Domain, it will cause massive damage directly to the inside of the Holy Pill City."
"This is also what Xuan Kongzi is worried about. He should still have a backup plan in the Star Domain."
Yao Chen said slowly.
Based on his understanding of Xuan Kongzi, this person considers things comprehensively and won't put everything on Han Feng's shoulders.
Entering the Star Domain and following the procedure arrangement is one of Han Feng's plans.
If he is outside, his identity as the leader of the Soul Execution Division cannot appear grandly.
Only by going to the alternate space and isolating himself can he strike out with full force in the form of a Four-Star Dou Saint.
Moreover, in the Star Domain, they will open a channel connecting to the Heaven Hall. This will be Han Feng's opportunity to counterattack.
Of course, there is no guarantee whether this is a bait from the Hall of Souls.
Han Feng's mind moved slightly, and he began to mobilize the manpower of the Soul Execution Division everywhere.
No matter what, this is a rare opportunity. Even if he can't annihilate the Hall of Souls, he must beat it into a crippled body.
After sending the specific task for tomorrow to the Chen sisters, Han Feng returned to the room and began to meditate and adjust his breathing.
Tomorrow is an important day. The Three Thousand Burning Flame, the Heaven Hall of the Hall of Souls, as long as these two things are handled properly, Han Feng will create unprecedented battle results from this war.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, Xuan Kongzi sent people to notify the top ten alchemists of the Pill Gathering, preparing to send them into the Star Domain early.
Cao Ying looked serious and felt heavy at this time.
Logically speaking, after the Pill Gathering, it should be a relaxed and joyful time, but things went contrary to wishes. As Xuan Kongzi's direct disciple, Cao Ying inevitably had to bear the overall situation of leading the new generation.
The Five Great Families roam the Pill Region relying on the Pill Tower. In times of crisis, they naturally have to step forward and bear corresponding responsibilities.
Xuan Kongzi's gaze swept over the faces of the ten people, and then he said: "The environment inside the Star Domain is special, so after you few try, don't stay too long. The Great Elder will take you to a safe place."
After speaking, an old man appeared in front of everyone.
"This old man is Qiu Ling. You must follow me closely in the Star Domain, do not fall behind, otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves."
Qiu Ling's eyes were half-open and half-squinted, his tone carrying a sense of majesty.
He and Xuan Kongzi looked at each other, and after a slight nod, Xuan Kongzi opened the Star Domain seal.
As soon as the seal was opened, thick primitive star power seeped out from the Star Domain. Qiu Ling immediately led the ten people into the Star Domain.
After the few people entered, Xuan Kongzi quickly closed the seal as well.
He took a deep breath and looked into the distance.
"An eventful autumn..."
At this time, in a courtyard in the Holy Pill City.
Several powerful auras suddenly appeared, and Hall of Souls powerhouses wearing black robes descended into the courtyard.
The Dou Qi fluctuations on their bodies were all at the Half-Saint rank, the imposing pressure terrifying and profound.
However, these powerful Half-Saints all knelt down to the man sitting in the courtyard at this moment.
"Greetings to Hall Master!"
The man in the courtyard slowly lifted the cloak covering his head, revealing a rather young-looking face.
"Begin."
Simple and casual words came from the young man's mouth, but deeply changed the destiny of the Pill Tower.
The several Half-Saints bowed their heads to receive the order, then their figures suddenly disappeared, and they began to fly to various places in the Holy Pill City.
Today is destined to be a bloody day.
Inside the Star Domain.
Han Feng followed Qiu Ling to the depths of the Star Domain.
The Three Thousand Burning Flame was located in the center of the Star Domain, with huge stars hovering around it.
Qiu Ling brought everyone to land on a star close to the Three Thousand Burning Flame and pointed forward.
"That is the Three Thousand Burning Flame, currently in a slumbering state. Later, you will step forward one by one to try if you can subdue the Heavenly Flame."
Qiu Ling said slowly.
"Remember, you must use gentle methods, and absolutely must not wake it up!"
Everyone nodded.
"Han Feng, you are the champion of this Pill Gathering, you go first."
Han Feng took a step and instantly arrived in front of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
The extremely fast speed made Great Elder Qiu Ling's heart jump.
What a formidable junior!
Not only are his alchemy skills incredibly high, but even his strength is this terrifying.
Looking at the Three Thousand Burning Flame in front of him, Han Feng slowly reached out his hand.
The aura of the Ancient Void Dragon emerged from Han Feng's body, and a touch of purple-gold luster flashed in his pupils.
After sensing this familiar aura, the spiritual intelligence of the Three Thousand Burning Flame instantly awakened, and at the same time released a homologous Ancient Dragon power.
As an owned Heavenly Flame, it had a natural closeness to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
A smile lifted at the corner of Han Feng's mouth, then the dragon intent erupted, directly subduing that not-so-high-level dragon mark inside the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
Boom!
The dragon body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame shook, and the seals binding its body surfaced one after another, emitting a trembling sound.
"Not good!"
Qiu Ling turned pale with fright.
Why did Han Feng enrage the Three Thousand Burning Flame right from the start?
Are you here to cause destruction?
Thinking of what Xuan Kongzi instructed, Qiu Ling gritted his teeth and prepared to step forward to execute the backup plan.
However, just as he flew halfway, the huge Three Thousand Burning Flame suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Qiu Ling was instantly stunned in place, foolishly watching Han Feng slowly turn around.
"Elder Qiu Ling, does this count as subdued?"
A wisp of purple flame leaped at Han Feng's fingertip, and a nimble little dragon hovered in the flame.
"You... how did you do it?"
The scene before him had exceeded Qiu Ling's cognition.
No matter how powerful, it's impossible to subdue a Heavenly Flame in an instant!
What Qiu Ling didn't know was that Han Feng's special physique coupled with the "Flame Mantra" cultivation method had already given him extremely high affinity for Heavenly Flames.
The stable multiple Heavenly Flame spaces in his body could easily accommodate the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
Although he hasn't refined it immediately, as long as it's suppressed, it's equivalent to refinement, and the rest is just a matter of time.
The Three Thousand Burning Flame has existed for a very long time, successively cultivated by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the Pill Tower, and absorbed the star power of the Star Domain for a thousand years, its spiritual intelligence already having reached great completion.
Feeling the steady stream of star power transmitted in his body, Han Feng operated the cultivation method to refine it, and the Dou Qi in his body was also quietly undergoing transformation.
The rest of the people participating in the Heavenly Flame refinement this time looked sluggish at this moment.
No way? It's over just like that?
Although it's reasonable for the champion to have the first chance to refine the Heavenly Flame, seeing Han Feng successfully refine it, it was still hard for everyone to calm down in their hearts.
Especially Old Monster Qing Hua, he brazenly participated in this Pill Gathering to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame and made many other preparations.
And you tell him the Three Thousand Burning Flame has already been refined? Right before his eyes!
The corner of Old Monster Qing Hua's mouth twitched repeatedly, extremely unwilling in his heart, but helpless.
[Don't you already have the Mysterious Yellow Flame!]
[Why can you refine two Heavenly Flames!]
Han Feng came in front of Elder Qiu Ling and reminded: "Elder Qiu, it has already begun outside. Take them out."
Hearing this, Qiu Ling's expression changed drastically.
"Has it already begun?"
"Then you..."
Han Feng looked towards the Hall of Souls Dou Venerate, "I'll stay here; there are still some things to resolve."
The Hall of Souls Dou Venerate cooperatively let out a jie jie jie laugh at this time. The Dou Qi in his body shook, and a powerful aura erupted.
"Need help?"
Qiu Ling asked.
"No need, you guys just go assist outside."
The Three Thousand Burning Flame, which had been one-third refined, ignited in Han Feng's hand, and the surrounding star power began to gather towards him.
"The commotion here will be quite big later. It's not safe for you to be here."
Seeing the aura Han Feng displayed at this time, Qiu Ling nodded.
He took out an array disc and handed it to Han Feng.
"This is the array disc that controls the Great Array of Stars in the Star Domain. You keep it to use. We'll leave first."
Han Feng took the array disc. Is this Xuan Kongzi's backup plan?
The Heavenly Cycle Star Great Array.
