"Hmm… although we still don't know exactly which Heavenly Fla that is, judging by that brat's reaction, it's definitely not sothing ordinary. Once we get our hands on those two Heavenly Flas, and each of us absorbs one, our strength will definitely skyrocket."
Thinking of the benefits, the golden-robed elder let out a cold chuckle and subtly touched the soul-communicating jade hidden in his sleeve.
"Besides, Protector Xuan already promised—if we can capture either that soul or Xiao Yan himself, he'll give us a full set of Mid-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques."
As he spoke, the silver-robed elder couldn't help but rub his hands together, a flicker of burning heat flashing across his face.
Protector Xuan had approached them shortly after Han Feng's death.
However, he didn't seem to care much about the cause of Han Feng's demise.
What he cared about was inviting the two brothers to capture Xiao Yan—or more precisely, the soul residing within his body.
It was only after hearing Protector Xuan's explanation that the two finally understood:
The reason Xiao Yan's combat power was so terrifying… was because there was a powerful soul hidden inside him.
They already had old grudges with Xiao Yan to begin with. Combined with the almost too-generous rewards promised by Protector Xuan…
They not only agreed to help, but also persuaded several other Dou Huang powerhouses within the Black Alliance to join as well.
Protector Xuan, in turn, responded in kind with great generosity.
After the two brothers helped convince the others, he personally used a secret Hall of Souls technique to forcefully elevate Silver Elder to Dou Zong in a short ti.
The other powerhouses of the Black Alliance who witnessed it were instantly filled with envy.
With such lavish rewards, their motivation to serve Hall of Souls surged to a new height.
However… what they didn't know was:
Anyone who had accepted Hall of Souls's secret technique…would have their life force controlled by Hall of Souls thereafter.
If they learned the truth, who knew if they'd still be so eager?
At that mont, Lin Feng was personally accompanying Queen dusa to et Mo Tianxing to exchange the auction items.
After all, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Corpse and the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva were simply too important.
He didn't trust anyone else to handle them.
"Sasha, let's go."
After confirming the items were genuine, Lin Feng led dusa away toward their next destination.
Hearing this, dusa followed alongside but asked with a puzzled tone,
"Where are we going?"
Hearing her question, Lin Feng grinned mischievously.
"Heh heh… odds are pretty high Xiao Yan's going to be ambushed by Hall of Souls.
Let's go take a look—maybe we can reap so benefits from it."
"Alright… doesn't Xiao Yan have two Heavenly Flas on him right now?
If the opportunity presents itself, we can secretly kill him and take the flas for you—"
Before she could finish, dusa's alluring eyes suddenly widened, and her beautiful face instantly turned cold as frost.
At that mont, a seven-colored snake scale appeared on her smooth forehead, glowing with a faint multicolored light.
The instant the scale manifested, dusa's aura began to fluctuate chaotically for the first ti.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's brow furrowed deeply. A sense of dread surged in his heart as he asked urgently:
"What's going on?"
"This scale is a manifestation of a fragnt of my soul, stored in the Snake-People Clan's Soul Altar.
Our clan's priestesses can ignite that soul fragnt to send an ergency signal.
Normally, they would only do so if the clan was facing a catastrophic crisis."
dusa gently touched the now-burning-hot scale on her forehead. Her delicate face turned increasingly cold, her eyes surging with murderous intent.
She had served as the Snake-People Clan's Queen for decades, and this was the first ti the priests had used such a desperate thod to summon her.
There was no doubt about it—sothing terrible had happened to the Snake-People Clan!
After listening to her explanation, Lin Feng instantly understood—this was likely a calamity with the potential to wipe out the entire clan.
He didn't hesitate and said seriously:
"Go find that little girl Zi Yan and bring her over. I'll go arrange the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's affairs and have Elder Yao return to Jia Ma Empire with .
Since the Snake-People Clan is up against a powerful enemy, we'll need to bring serious firepower."
Hearing this, dusa hesitated with so reluctance:
"But… the Heavenly Fla…"
"Sigh… we'll have to deal with that next ti. For now, just do as I say."
Lin Feng sighed helplessly.
Truth be told, he had very much wanted to strike when Hall of Souls ambushed Xiao Yan, secretly kill him, and then pin the bla on Hall of Souls.
After that, he'd show up at just the right mont and "snatch" the Heavenly Fla from Hall of Souls.
That way, in the eyes of outsiders, it would simply look like:
Hall of Souls orchestrated the ambush against Xiao Yan.
And Lin Feng?
He was just soone who happened to see them holding a Heavenly Fla, got greedy, and decided to rob them.
Even if Gu Xun'er later sent soone to investigate…
The only ones who would look like culprits… would still be Hall of Souls.
But what Lin Feng didn't know… was when exactly Xiao Yan would leave Spirit Mountain City.
If he insisted on staying behind to wait for the perfect opportunity to ambush and kill Xiao Yan— and chose to abandon the Snake-People Clan's rescue effort…
Then his relationship with dusa would surely be destroyed.
After all, he was well aware of just how deeply dusa cared for her people.
So, when it ca down to a choice between the two, he didn't hesitate for even a mont—he chose dusa.
After all, even if he failed to get the Heavenly Fla this ti, or failed to kill Xiao Yan…
There would always be another chance.
But if his relationship with dusa crumbled because of this…then even his future child might look down on him soday.
When dusa heard that he had given up such a golden opportunity just to rescue the Snake-People Clan…her beautiful eyes instantly filled with a wave of emotion.
Then, a blush suddenly flashed across her charming face, and she softly whispered:
"As compensation… that thing you kept asking for before—I agree. But before that, you have to clean up properly. I absolutely don't want to taste a single bit of sweaty stink."
With that, dusa—her face blooming like a peach blossom—fled the room as if escaping, leaving Lin Feng dumbstruck in place.
It wasn't until so ti later that he snapped out of it.
In an instant, his expression shifted to one of uncontainable joy, his whole body nearly trembling with excitent.
He hadn't expected… that this decision of his would co with such a pleasant surprise!
That particular matter was sothing he had begged dusa for so long—but had always failed to achieve.
Still, despite his excitent, he didn't waste ti.
With a flicker of lightning beneath his feet, his figure turned into a blur and shot off toward where Tian Huo Zun Zhe was located.
Soon, Lin Feng had fully arranged all of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's operations for the coming days.
This ti, he planned to only bring Tian Huo Zun Zhe and Zi Yan—no one else.
After all, if he took the Pavilion's Dou Wang-level powerhouses with him, word would inevitably leak.
And in this chaotic Black-Corner Region, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was a massive piece of fat at sitting in plain sight.
If left completely unguarded…by the ti Lin Feng returned, he might not even find a single hair left.
So rather than bring those Dou Wangs with him to the Snake-People Clan…it was better to leave them behind to defend Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
With their presence, and the fact that dusa—now a Dou Zong—had appeared during the recent auction…that should be enough to intimidate the other factions.
At least for a while, no one would dare stir up trouble.
A few hours later, three figures quietly departed from the Black-Corner Region, heading at top speed toward the Jia Ma Empire.
