"If that's all there is to it, then you might as well just go back home."

hum!

Seemingly sensing Han Feng's disdain, the heavens and earth stirred once more, countless golden lights rose again, and thousands of sword shadows condensed, forming a colossal sword body that reached the heavens and the earth.

The terrifying sword power, mixed with the heat of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, slashed towards Han Feng.

"That's more like it."

In his previous life, Han Feng, who temporarily broke through to the Dou Di realm with the help of the Emperor Pill, had long wanted to see the so-called deeper level of strange fire power controlled by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

Unfortunately, before his self-destruction, all he saw was his teacher, Yao Chen, accepting the power of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe and unleashing the profound mystery of the [Bone Spirit Cold Fire].

The rest, even the [Xuanhuang Flame] under their control, had not yet touched that domain.

Although he has lost his strength after being reborn, he has retained his understanding of the strange fire at the level of a Dou Di.

If given another ten years or so, he might be able to glimpse the true meaning of the "Mysterious Flame".

Han Feng raised his arms, his palms glowing with azure flames, and slowly pushed upwards.

【Tianhai Shenyu】

"[Tower of Babel]!"

Wow!

Above the sea, a colossal blue tower rises, its top adorned with a blue jewel.

when!

Within the precious pearl, immense tidal energy reverberated, purifying the heavens and earth.

The energy unleashed by the golden giant sword was gradually washed away by the tides, turning into a faint light.

Rumble!

The entire world was covered in azure blue, and the next second, Han Feng's consciousness returned to his body.

When I opened my eyes, the little girl was already fast asleep, a slight smile on her lips, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Han Feng gently covered the little girl with a blanket. He glanced at the corner and saw that Old Ling was still there. The old man nodded to him, his attitude having changed from initial hostility to goodwill.

The mission was successfully completed, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame has not dared to cause trouble for some time now.

Han Feng gestured that he was about to leave, but Elder Ling followed him out.

"Mr. Han, thank you for today. Please forgive me if I offended you earlier."

“Protecting Miss Gu is your duty, there’s no need to apologize.”

Han Feng responded with a kind smile.

"By the way, Mr. Han, you should know this young man. Could you please take him back?"

Elder Ling pointed to Xiao Yan, who was fast asleep outside the house, and said.

"Xiao Yan? What's he doing here?"

Old Ling shrugged: "I don't know either. He almost barged in while you were treating Miss. To avoid disturbing you, I just knocked him out."

"Uh......"

Han Feng gave an awkward laugh.

"They're probably here to see me."

He himself didn't quite believe it when he said it, as he hadn't told anyone when he came.

"maybe."

Fortunately, Elder Ling did not make things difficult for him, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and went back into the house.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

"fine."

Han Feng sighed inwardly when he mentioned Xiao Yan.

"No wonder you didn't tell me in my past life, so you originally wanted to be a lecher?"

Chapter 7 The difference between immortals and mortals

The next day, Xiao Yan woke up groggily, feeling a slight pain in the back of his head.

I touched it subconsciously and found a lump there.

His thoughts paused for a few seconds, and Xiao Yan was startled.

Xiao Yan glanced somewhat fearfully in the direction of Xiao Xun'er's room, thinking to himself that this was too awkward.

He broke into someone's room at night, but before he could even see the person, he was inexplicably knocked unconscious and thrown back.

It seems that her father's overly respectful attitude towards her was not just feigned politeness.

This little girl who's staying at the Xiao family's place is probably not that simple.

Xiao Yan believed he had seen through everything, nodded thoughtfully, and decided to be more disciplined in the future.

Just because someone forgave him once doesn't mean they'll forgive him a second time.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan put the matter out of his mind. He had just mastered Dou Qi yesterday and was still in the novelty stage. He immediately sat down to meditate and continued to enjoy the Dou Qi in his body.

Last night, after leaving Xiao Yan in his own room, Han Feng went back to rest.

The matter of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame and the young lady of the ancient clan made him think a lot.

Why would someone of such noble status come to the Xiao family?

For ancient jade?

There's no need. If the ancient clan already knows the location of the Xiao clan and wants to seize the ancient jade, they can get it without much effort.

There's no need to place the ancient clan's princess in the Xiao family.

But apart from this matter, what else does the Xiao clan have that would make the ancient clans interested in them?

It couldn't possibly be because of some past friendship.

Or is it that Miss Gu's mother is related to the Xiao clan?

Without further corroboration, Han Feng could only speculate wildly.

Regardless of the circumstances, the other party is currently a shortcut to connecting with the ancient tribes.

The daughter of a top expert on the continent lives in the small city of Wutan.

How fantastical.

If others knew about this, they would probably swarm around her and do everything they could to please the little princess.

Even a tiny grain of rice leaking through the little princess's fingers is enough to bring about earth-shattering changes to the people here.

Thinking about it this way, could Xiao Yan's actions last night have been at someone's behest?

It's no wonder Han Feng thought of this matter in a darker light.

After all, once you get on the good side of the ancient princess, even if you don't become a supreme being or a saint, you'll definitely rise to great heights.

Little did he know that Xiao Yan was a visitor from another world, with a soul in his twenties residing in a body that was only three or four years old.

At breakfast time, the servants brought breakfast on time.

After eating, Han Feng saw Xiao Zhan again.

"Mr. Han, how did you sleep last night?"

"Chief Xiao treated me very well, and I rested very well."

"Haha, okay! Let's go inside and talk."

Upon entering the room, Han Feng saw the ancient jade placed in an exquisite treasure box on the table.

"This is......"

"This is the family heirloom of my Xiao family."

Xiao Zhan said.

"Sir, please sit down."

Han Feng was surprised that Xiao Zhan had taken this out so quickly.

"Don't laugh at me, sir, but I thought about it all night yesterday and still couldn't come up with a good solution."

Xiao Zhan gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"With the Xiao family's current strength, it's fine if they remain undetected, but once they are discovered, ha..."

Han Feng remained silent; this was indeed an unsolvable problem.

Even if the Xiao family offers up the ancient jade, given the conflict between the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan, would the other side really let them go?

Not necessarily.

The most likely outcome is that it will be annihilated with a single blow.

For a Dou Sheng powerhouse, destroying a city is as easy as breathing.

Alternatively, the Xiao family could choose to scatter and flee. Given the Xiao family's current insignificant strength, it would still be feasible for most of them to survive.

After all, no matter how extensive the Soul Palace's business is, it's impossible for them to search for the descendants of the Xiao clan all over the world.

However, in this way, the last vestige of dignity of the Xiao clan would be destroyed.

"Clan Chief Xiao, what do you think is the right thing about the Xiao family that could attract the attention of the Soul Palace?"

Han Feng suddenly asked.

Leaving aside the entire Dou Qi Continent, in the Jia Ma Empire alone, there are no fewer than several hundred families with the surname Xiao.

The number of people with the surname Xiao is countless.

If they were to search one by one, even if the Soul Palace had hundreds of years, they might not be able to find them.

After all, there are other forces on the mainland that won't just stand by and watch the Soul Palace cause trouble.

The Soul Palace doesn't dare to be so blatant right now.

If it were before, Han Feng might have thought it was a coincidence, but after meeting the ancient clan princess, he seemed to understand why a family that didn't even have a Dou Wang would be targeted by the Soul Palace.

Nowadays, the Xiao family is indeed nothing to worry about; the ancestors of the Xiao family did a very good job of disguising themselves.

Even if a Dou Di family falls into decline, it shouldn't be to the point where their cultivation techniques are reduced to the Xuan level and the patriarch is only a Dou Shi.

If Han Feng hadn't already known, he would never have connected the Xiao family in front of him with the Xiao clan.

However, if the people of the Soul Palace discover that the ancient princess once stayed in the Xiao family, then this target will be too conspicuous.

Upon hearing Han Feng's question, Xiao Zhan immediately began to think.

"The entire heritage of my Xiao clan was taken away by a clan leader at the Dou Zong realm and sealed in a place known only to the clan leader."

Xiao Zhan pondered, "After learning the location from my father, I never went to look for it even once."

"In other words, the last secret of the Xiao clan has also been completely dealt with."

Han Feng looked at Xiao Zhan, "So the entire Xiao family is completely free from the risk of being exposed?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, then suddenly remembered something, but stopped himself from speaking.

Han Feng already understood.

This final mistake was probably made by the ancient princess.

Not to mention the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame that unleashed its power yesterday, Elder Ling is also a risk.

If they remain calm and do nothing, that's fine. But once the other party makes a move, the small Xiao family will be associated with an unknown Dou Huang, which will greatly increase the risk and make them a target of the Soul Palace.

“Last night, I visited Miss Gu in the garden of Dongwu Sanli.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan gave a wry smile.

"It seems we've been hiding it all along. As expected of Mr. Han, he must have known this secret all along?"
