Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

He raised Han Feng, an orphan who had been abandoned, single-handedly.

Not only that, he also imparted all his skills and knowledge to others.

However, he was ultimately betrayed by his own disciple, whom he regarded as his own son.

This caused immense harm to the elderly man who had once been abandoned by his community.

The pain of being betrayed by a disciple you treated like your own son is countless times more intense than losing your physical body!

At this moment, even Yao Lao's body was trembling slightly.

He wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yan said nothing, but simply stood quietly behind Yao Lao.

His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Han Feng.

When he looked at the old doctor, there was a hint of concern in his eyes.

However, he didn't say anything.

It's not advisable for him to speak at this time.

All that could be heard in the room was Han Feng's panting.

It wasn't that Han Feng didn't want to speak, but rather that he was being restrained by Yao Lao.

Yao Lao knew that the other party had connections with the Soul Palace, so he wanted to ensure that what was happening here would not be known to the Soul Palace.

Otherwise, it would be a huge problem for both him and Xiao Yan.

After a long while, the old apothecary used his soul power to examine Han Feng's belongings, removed the Nether Sea Storage Ring from his hand, and lifted the restrictions on Han Feng before slowly speaking.

"why?"

The old doctor's voice was somewhat low.

His eyes were filled with grief and confusion as he looked at Han Feng.

Han Feng's eyes were filled with fear at this moment.

There was still a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Why didn't you let me cultivate the Burning Technique back then?"

"Am I not your only disciple?"

"You only want to cultivate by yourself and won't let me cultivate!"

Upon hearing this, the old doctor was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of absurdity flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yan, standing beside him, also had anger and confusion in his eyes.

"Just because of that?"

"You conspired with outsiders to plot against me just because of this?!"

"The reason I didn't let you cultivate the Burning Technique in the first place was because the Burning Technique was too unpredictable!"

"Even if you want to cultivate, let me verify it first!"

"If it's true, I'll definitely let you switch to another major."

"Moreover, you are my only disciple, and I treat you as my own son."

"I raised you from childhood, what good things haven't I given you?"

"Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, as well as my own abilities."

What haven't I taught you?

"Even without the Burning Technique, with your talent, the Earth-rank cultivation method, and my guidance, reaching the Dou Zun level is still no problem."

"In that case, you're at least a Dou Zong now."

"Reaching the seventh-grade alchemist level shouldn't be a problem."

"It can become even stronger in the future!"

"So you treat me like this just because of a Burning Technique?"

The old doctor's eyes were filled with disbelief.

At that moment, he felt as if he had rediscovered his former apprentice.

Han Feng was also taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, he looked at the disbelief and a hint of anger on the old doctor's face.

He quickly said.

"Teacher, teacher, this was not my intention!"

"It was...it was the people from the Soul Palace who forced me to do this!"

"Yes, it's the Soul Palace!"

"The Elder Mu Gu of the Soul Palace is the same eighth-grade alchemist who studied under the same master as you."

"He's still a Dou Zun!"

"He forced me to do this!"

"I did this because he secretly instigated and coerced me!"

"He's the one who sent me to secretly seize the Burning Technique."

A flash of anger crossed Yao Lao's eyes, his face filled with heartache.

Upon hearing that Elder Mu Gu and Teacher Yao were from the same sect, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Teacher, who is this Elder Mu Gu...?"

The old doctor didn't hide anything and directly revealed his relationship with Elder Mu Gu.

"He and I were once from the same school."

"However, for some reason, he was expelled from the sect."

"Later he became extremely hostile towards me and sought every opportunity to oppose me."

"I never expected that Han Feng was backed by him!"

As he spoke, a hint of anger flashed in Yao Lao's eyes.

At this moment, Han Feng spoke up.

"Teacher, please don't kill me!"

"I will take care of you in your old age and see you to your death!"

"I was forced into all of this by Elder Mu Gu!"

The old doctor looked at Han Feng and said sadly.

"Tell me, how did he pressure you?"

"With me here, how can he pressure you?"

"If you didn't intend to betray me because of the Burning Technique, how could he have sown discord?"

When asked the three questions, Han Feng didn't know how to answer them.

"me……"

Looking at Han Feng in front of him, the anger in Yao Lao's eyes dissipated, leaving only endless sorrow.

"Ugh--"

"Just consider it a mistake I made back then."

Without further hesitation, the old doctor killed Han Feng with a single blow.

Not only that, he also used the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to completely annihilate Han Feng's soul!

Although Han Feng is not a Dou Zun, he is an alchemist with an extremely powerful soul.

If its soul is not annihilated, there is still a possibility of resurrection.

Looking at Han Feng's dead figure, Yao Lao was filled with endless grief.

Because he was a puppet, he couldn't even shed tears.

Looking at the somewhat desolate figure of the old man in front of him, Xiao Yan felt a lump in his throat.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice.

"My teacher has nurtured me; he is my mentor, like a father to me!"

"I will avenge you in the future all the insults and pain you have suffered, Teacher!"

"At the same time, I will spare no effort to bring you back to life!"

Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly kneel down, Yao Lao was taken aback.

The bleak feeling emanating from him had dissipated considerably at this moment.

There was a hint of relief in his eyes.

He knew that God had blinded him once, but not a second time!

He helped Xiao Yan up and said with a smile.

"What, are you worried that this old man might do something rash?"

"I still want to be resurrected, and I still want to see you standing at the top of this continent!"

"Not only that, I also want to see you standing in front of that little girl, welcoming her as your bride!"

"My disciple is no less capable than the ancient princess!"

"Get up. If you want to revive me, three different flames are necessary."

"This traitor also possesses a Sea Heart Flame."

"Let's find a place to refine it now."
