Chapter 75 The Black Corner Region's Dou Huangs, Each with Their Own Hidden agendas
Black Seal City, Eight Gates.
After seeing Han Beng off, Lian Cheng returned to his cultivation room and looked at the Cold Jade Treasure Box in his hand with a wry smile.
Among them was the sixth-grade elixir he had been dreaming of: the Imperial Supreme Pill!
Under normal circumstances, he would probably have already excitedly swallowed the pill, feeling the exhilarating breakthrough brought by the surging medicinal power crashing against the shackles of the Dou Huang level like a raging torrent.
But now, he only felt that the cold jade box was extremely hot to the touch.
"Damn it..." Lian Cheng said through gritted teeth, his face dark.
The Imperial Extreme Pill, a top-grade elixir capable of advancing a Dou Huang expert by one or even two stars, was undoubtedly a treasure he dreamed of. However, if this Imperial Extreme Pill required exchanging the entire Eight Gates, or even his own life, then it would be far too wasteful.
However, he dared not refuse Han Feng's invitation. Regardless of the fact that he had already invited Mo Tianxing from the Black Emperor Sect to back him up, Han Feng's peak Dou Huang strength alone was enough to make Lian Cheng hesitate to act rashly.
After being terrified for a long time, the burly Eight Doors Master's face now looked exactly like that of a little boy who had just been punched.
"That son of a bitch Han Feng, why are you forcing me like this? I'm just a four-star Dou Huang. If he wants to steal from Canaan Academy, one more person won't make a difference. Why does he have to drag me along to my death?!"
Liancheng's eyes were bloodshot. He opened the jade box, which was filled with a fragrant aroma of medicine.
A perfectly round pill, about the size of a longan, lay quietly inside. The medicinal fragrance it emitted alone was enough to make Liancheng feel refreshed and relaxed.
This calmed his agitated state of mind caused by fear.
He carefully picked up the Imperial Pill from the Cold Jade Treasure Box, and took a deep breath as if a member of the Zhouba forum were holding up a prison guard.
The aroma of medicine filled my nostrils, and a sense of happiness welled up inside me.
Now is not the time to swallow the pill, so Liancheng reluctantly put it back into the Cold Jade Treasure Box and stored it in his storage ring.
"Send the order to assemble the guards! I'm leaving the city!"
Black Emperor City, Black Emperor Sect.
Mo Ya arrived at Mo Tianxing's residence with Han Feng's invitation and reward. He proudly placed both items on the table and said to his father, "Father, see? I told you! Fengcheng's sincerity this time is truly remarkable. If Han Feng wants to obtain the Strange Flame from Canaan Academy, he must rely on our Black Emperor Sect!"
Gently patting the jade box, Mo Ya said, "Look, even the reward couldn't wait to be sent over."
Unlike the sect leader of the Eight Doors, who eagerly opened the Cold Jade Treasure Box, Mo Tianxing frowned and picked up the invitation to read it.
After reading it, he chuckled and said, "This Medicine Emperor is really going to great lengths for that damn strange fire. In his letter, he said he wants to form an alliance in the Black Corner Region, inviting heroes from all over the world to join in this grand undertaking, and he even asks me, his father, to help him keep things under control."
"Hehe, isn't this a good thing?" Mo Ya's smile widened. "In the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigns supreme. The alliance that Han Feng has orchestrated will ultimately be yours, Father."
"In this way, my Black Emperor Sect won't need to go to great lengths or suffer heavy losses to bring those local bullies under our control. Perhaps, the Medicine King will even become our Black Emperor Sect's chief alchemist."
"Don't always think of things so simply," Mo Tianxing admonished. "That Han Feng is no easy person to deal with. Why would he put in so much effort? Do you think it's for the sake of my Black Emperor Sect?"
"Son knows, he's after the Strange Fire." Mo Ya didn't take Han Feng seriously. "That thing is every alchemist's dream. For them, the Strange Fire is more attractive than a beautiful woman. But I've heard that devouring a Strange Fire is extremely dangerous. Even if Han Feng has the strength of a peak Dou Huang, he may not be able to refine it safely."
"If he really only wants the strange fire, that's fine. But if he has other intentions... then my Black Emperor Sect can teach him a lesson he'll never forget when he devours the strange fire!" Mo Ya licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"You naughty boy..." Mo Tianxing smiled with satisfaction.
Twilight City, Black Skull Tomb, Forest of Ten Thousand Bones.
After Fan Lao's death, the Blood Sect was immediately targeted and quickly divided up, and the Fan family was also wiped out.
Today, the Blood Sect has completely become history.
Now, the Black Skull Tomb and the Ten Thousand Bone Forest, having divided up the Blood Sect's resources and profits, are constantly clashing in Twilight City, but no major conflict has erupted. This is not because both sides are exercising restraint, but because they are both accumulating strength, preparing to crush each other in one fell swoop.
Like a volcano about to erupt, Twilight City is so quiet it's unsettling.
The warriors of Black Skull Tomb and Ten Thousand Bones Forest had already assembled, wielding swords and exuding murderous intent, and occupied the shops and buildings on both sides of the street.
The two forces stood facing each other across the street, like a pride of lions and wild dogs confronting each other on the savanna.
Once the powerful figures from both sides show up, a great battle will instantly erupt!
But now, a fight can't be started.
Han Beng has arrived.
He stood on the street between the two forces, cupped his hands, and loudly invited the managers of both families to come out for a talk.
As the steward of Medicine King Han Feng, Han Beng now holds Han Feng's invitation, so both the Black Skull Tomb and the Ten Thousand Bones Forest have to give him face.
Like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, Han Beng stood ramrod straight, severing the confrontation between the two sides in a simple and brutal manner, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
Soon, the black-cloaked figures from the Black Skull Tomb and the bone-masked figures from the Forest of Ten Thousand Bones arrived at Twilight City.
Right there on this empty street, people from Black Skull Tomb and Ten Thousand Bones Forest brought out tables and chairs and invited Han Beng and the leaders of the two families to sit down.
Han Beng smiled and took out Han Feng's invitation, inviting the man in the black cloak and the man in the bone mask to Feng City to celebrate the occasion together.
The bone-faced man wore a mask made of skull, obscuring his emotions. In a hoarse voice, he asked, "Mr. Han Feng, what is the purpose of inviting me to the Ten Thousand Bones Forest?"
Han Beng smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing. I've heard that Canaan Academy has been clashing with Ten Thousand Bones Forest and Black Skull Tomb lately. Relying on the support of Dou Zong, they've been running rampant in the Black Corner Region, seizing its natural treasures for themselves."
"My master considers them a scourge to the Black Corner Region, a thorn in his side. Therefore, he has specially invited the two of you to join forces in a great undertaking to remove this thorn!"
A harsh, unpleasant laugh came from inside the black cloak. Han Beng frowned and looked at him, but could not see the expression under the large black cloak.
"A thorn in my side? Could it be that Mr. Han Feng has taken a fancy to some treasure of Canaan Academy...?"
"My master doesn't take a single thing from the Canaan Academy's treasury; he only takes the strange fire that they've suppressed in the inner courtyard," Han Beng said with a smile. "This item won't greatly improve yourselves, but it's extremely important for alchemists. I believe you two can understand that."
"If you two can help my master obtain it, not only will you get a share of Canaan Academy's inventory, but my master will also provide you with a sixth-grade pill!"
