Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 281 Goal
Not long after, seeing that the black storm was about to dissipate, the Soul Envoy, knowing that he could not expose himself, hurriedly chose to leave on the pretext of hunting souls after he revealed most of the information about the Black Horn Region.

Facing a powerful guardian who was not his direct superior, he indeed felt unprecedented fear and terror. He did not dare to ask too much about the intentions of the two and hurriedly escaped away while the black fog dissipated.

After noticing that the other party's aura had completely dissipated, Xiao Yan opened his soul robe and looked at the lush greenery not far ahead, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"The power of this Soul Palace is truly terrifying. Even the top experts in the Black Horn Region have been infiltrated by them. If a sixth-grade alchemist at the peak of the Douhuang level were to gain some enlightenment, wouldn't that mean he would be promoted to the seventh grade?"

The seventh-grade alchemist has always been the level that Xiao Yan most aspires to.

It's not just because of the seventh-grade alchemist's transcendent status, the more important reason is the resurrection of Yao Lao!
It can be said that Xiao Yan now only has this one condition left to successfully resurrect Yao Lao.

The Dou Zong-level body was well preserved after Ruoruo extracted Yunshan's soul. He has also reached the minimum limit of possessing three kinds of strange fire. Even if he is lucky enough to collect the Fallen Heart Flame, he can even reach a higher level and gain more confidence.

But the alchemist level is the only one that requires his own real efforts to climb.

After all, when refining the body, in order to achieve the perfect fusion of soul and body, Yao Lao must not be distracted at all, let alone assist in refining the medicine.

"Medicine Emperor Han Feng is indeed a great figure."

Hun Ruoruo seemed to emphasize the word "character" with a tone of contempt and mockery:

"But unfortunately, to us, he is our sworn enemy, Brother~"

"Enemies?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled, and instantly recalled Yao Lao's strange behavior.
"You mean, the teacher has a grudge against Han Feng?"

The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed. Xiao Yan frowned and asked in confusion:
"But this doesn't make sense. Although I don't know the master's cultivation level before his death, he was able to fight against the Dou Zong-level Wu Guardian with just a weak soul. How could he be related to the local tyrant of the Black Horn Region?"

"Ugh"

Seeing this, Yao Lao, who had not spoken for a long time, sighed and said in a deep voice:

"I never expected that this evil disciple would actually come to the Black Horn Region. He is so scheming and treats human life as worthless. This place is truly his paradise."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly constricted, and he looked towards the direction of the ring in his hand.
"Evil disciple? Teacher, are you saying that Han Feng was once your disciple?!"

"Ah."

Yao Lao's figure slowly emerged, and then he pondered for a moment, his expression somewhat gloomy as he said:
"Originally I didn't want to tell you these things now, but the words of the Soul Palace envoy earlier really made it difficult for me to control my emotions. If you hadn't tried to cover it up, I'm afraid they would have discovered it."

After hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan's heart, which had been relieved by the destruction of the Yunlan Sect, sank again.

He had a vague feeling that what Yao Lao was about to say was most likely related to the other party's serious injury and death.
Being able to cause the death of a powerful warrior who had a high chance of reaching Dou Zun level in his lifetime, Han Feng must have a power far beyond his imagination! After a few breaths of silence, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao's gloomy eyes, shrugged his shoulders, put on a casual posture, and said with a smile:
"Teacher, no matter what, I have already killed a Dou Wang. Even if there are many people involved, I won't necessarily be afraid, right? Besides, even if I am not a match for Han Feng now, can I not avoid him if I can't beat him?"

"What's more, you have more than one disciple now."

After saying that, Xiao Yan turned his gaze towards the black-robed girl who was watching quietly and winked at her.

Noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, Hun Ruoruo looked back at him with some surprise, as if she had never expected him to mention her.

In Hun Ruoruo's opinion, the so-called apprenticeship to Yao Lao was just a verbal statement. Although she did have an indescribable joy about it, in the final analysis, she had not even performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
Thinking of this, she quietly clenched her palms, took off the black robe, and revealed a sweet smile.
"Master, you told Ruoruo about that scoundrel a long time ago. Since he colluded with the Soul Palace to cause your death, now that my brother and I have infiltrated the Soul Palace, isn't this a case of giving him a taste of his own medicine?"

"Ruoruo is a Dharma protector now. Wouldn't it be easy for him to be tricked?"

The girl's strange and whimsical words caused Yao Lao to fall into a long silence. After a while, his illusory body trembled and he said:

"Alright, alright! From the very beginning, I knew you and that evil disciple were not of the same kind. Now it seems that my eyes, Yao Chen, really haven't been blinded a second time! Haha!"

After saying two good words in a row, Yao Lao was so excited that he even felt like crying.

Xiao Yan was the one he brought up from humble beginnings, and he knew him inside and out, so there was no need for him to say much. However, this new disciple, who was accepted verbally, carried too many of Yao Lao's hopes and thoughts.

From the initial indifference and ruthlessness, to the subsequent kindness and ignorance, and finally gratitude and return. It can be said that Yao Lao was gradually melting the ice in the other person's heart with the warmth of an elder.

He had experienced being betrayed by someone he had poured his heart and soul into, and the pain he felt was so deep in his bones that he could not forget it even today.

But fortunately, this time, he finally did not repeat the same mistake.
Not long after, after Hun Ruoruo's explanation, Xiao Yan understood the hatred and secretly memorized the name "Han Feng".

In addition to revenge for Yao Lao, Xiao Yan also learned from the man who called himself "Li Hunshi" that the reason why Han Feng was able to rank third on the Black List as an alchemist was because he had the help of a strange fire that could greatly increase his strength.

Its name, 'Sea Heart Flame', ranks fifteenth on the Strange Fire List.

When Xiao Yan heard this name, he almost subconsciously recalled what Yao Lao had said to him in Wutan City.

The strange fire was born from heaven and earth, and is extremely hard and yang, but it is not impossible for cultivators of other attributes to absorb it. The key lies in whether the characteristics of the strange fire itself can resonate with the attributes of the cultivator.

It seems that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire possessed by Yao Lao can be refined by ice-attribute cultivators like Hai Bodong by chance!

She glanced at Yao Lao subtly and joked with him from time to time, making the old man laugh. She was no longer the dull girl she was before. Xiao Yan secretly had a crazy idea in his heart.

He wants to kill the evil disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors, and he also wants to hold the Sea Heart Flame firmly in his hands!
