"Mm."
dusa gave a slightly weary nod before disappearing into the main hall.
Ever since the Snake-People Clan was devastated by the two great empires, she had been busy overseeing the clan's reconstruction.
Then, once the rebuilding was complete, the clan acquired new territory in the southern region of the Mulan Empire.
She had to work tirelessly again, managing the migration of most of her people to this new land.
And just as she finished dealing with all that, Lin Feng summoned her back to the Black-Corner Region.
One could say she hadn't had any real rest for months.
Even for a Dou Zong expert, the strain was beginning to show.
After she left, Lin Feng turned and looked toward another cool and elegant figure beside him. "Xiao Yixian, you've already reached the peak of Three-Star Dou Zong. Over the next few days, I'll have my n collect as many potent poisons as possible to help you break through. When we attack Demon Fla Valley, you and Sasha will have to deal with that old demon."
Naturally, Xiao Yixian didn't object to his arrangent.
However, having spent all her ti in the Chu Yun Empire, she wasn't familiar with the power structures in this region.
Seeing Lin Feng's slightly serious expression, she asked, "Is Demon Fla Valley that powerful?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng glanced at her, then looked down at his thigh, gesturing subtly.
Seeing his motion, Xiao Yixian's cold and pretty face flushed faintly with pink.
Looking at the youth who wore a playful grin, she could only let out a helpless sigh, lightly lifting her jade-like leg and sitting down on his lap.
The mont her soft curves touched his thigh, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace.
To think that the fearso Poison Sect Leader of the Chu Yun Empire was now laying shyly in his arms—Lin Feng felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
With a mischievous smile, he chuckled, "Heh… this way, you can hear more clearly."
Hearing such an absurd excuse, Xiao Yixian rolled her eyes at him flirtatiously.
She was a Dou Zong; how could she not hear soone speaking from just a few ters away?
This guy… always taking advantage and still so shaless about it.
Lin Feng, however, ignored her glare. Tightening his embrace, he explained, "The Valley Master of Demon Fla Valley, Old Ground Demon Ghost, is from the sa generation as the dean of Jia Nan Academy. His Dou Qi cultivation has already reached Seven-Star Dou Zong."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian's expression grew serious.
At the Dou Zong level, each star represented a massive leap in strength.
What's more, Old Ground Demon Ghost was already considered high-level among Dou Zong.
Under normal circumstances, even Three Four-Star Dou Zong experts working together would struggle to defeat a single high-level Dou Zong.
Looks like this battle wouldn't be easy at all.
Still, no matter what Lin Feng decided, she would support him unconditionally.
"Besides Old Ground Demon Ghost, the Grand Elder of Demon Fla Valley is also at the brink of Dou Zong. Their Second and Third Elders are both Nine-Star Dou Huang, and the rest of the elders are mostly at early to mid Dou Huang level."
Pausing slightly, Lin Feng continued with his explanation.
Xiao Yixian's brows furrowed tightly after hearing this.
"No wonder you're being so cautious. This Demon Fla Valley is indeed powerful. Even if you combined two Poison Sects, they probably still wouldn't match up."
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, then wrapped her arms around Lin Feng's sturdy waist and rested her head on his chest.
Lin Feng gently played with her silver-white hair and said, "It's alright. The top three elders of Demon Fla Valley all rely on specific trump card Dou Techniques, but I just so happen to counter them perfectly.
If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to deal with them quickly and co back to help you and Sasha take down Old Ground Demon Ghost. It shouldn't be a problem."
Of course, he could also consider teaming up with Jia Nan Academy, who had long-standing conflicts with Demon Fla Valley…
However, considering that he wasn't exactly close with Jia Nan Academy, and the treasures in Demon Fla Valley's vault were far too important, Lin Feng eventually gave up on the idea.
After all, their own forces were already enough to take down Demon Fla Valley. There was no need to invite unnecessary variables.
That True Fla Creation Technique alone was too valuable—so valuable that even Jia Nan Academy might be tempted.
It would be an excellent resource for their students or the alchemists within the Academy.
Given that their relationship wasn't particularly close, there was a real risk of conflict arising over such a treasure.
anwhile, Xiao Yixian, having analyzed the overall power on both sides, went from worried to cheerful.
With a smile, she said, "With , that old woman, Yao Lao, and you—who can now be counted as Dou Zong-level combat power—we'll have four Dou Zong-level forces. Even if that Old Ground Demon Ghost is a Seven-Star Dou Zong, he'll still have to die today!"
As for Tian Huo Zun Zhe, Xiao Yixian had t him back when she was still in the Chu Yun Empire, so she was naturally familiar with him.
"Hey, you little brats—don't count in just yet."
Hearing them casually deciding the battle plan without his consent, Tian Huo Zun Zhe, who had been silently spectating from within the ring and force-fed a dose of PDA, couldn't help but float out and protest.
"Hehe, Yao Lao, you really not going? That's a Seven-Star Dou Zong-level body we're talking about. Compared to that Yan Luotian, this one is five stars stronger, and doesn't have any ssed-up techniques corrupting it.
Once we get to Central Plains, where the factions are even more complicated, getting your hands on a decent body won't be so easy."
Grinning at the illusory figure before him, Lin Feng tempted him with a smile.
Hearing the words "Seven-Star Dou Zong body," Tian Huo Zun Zhe's transparent form wavered slightly.
After a mont of silence, he sighed and said, "You little rascal… always taking advantage of old n. I just barely managed to accumulate so soul power, and now you're already trying to cash it in. Looks like it's going to be drained again, huh…"
Though his tone sounded troubled, his eyes were fixed intently on Lin Feng's storage ring.
"You old geezer, always eyeing my soul essence."
Seeing his gaze locked onto the ring, Lin Feng twitched his lips and said sourly.
After a brief pause for thought, Lin Feng retrieved the soul essence he had obtained from Protector Tie, and flicked it over casually.
"This bit of soul essence has already been purified with my Heavenly Fla to remove any lingering resentnt. It should be enough to raise your soul power to the level of a Five-Star Dou Zong. Don't say I'm bullying the elderly now."
Watching the delighted old man before him, Lin Feng could only shake his head helplessly.
"Hehe, I knew you were a good kid."
Clutching the soul essence he had long yearned for, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's old face instantly blood into a smile like a flower.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have been in such a rush to level up.
But with a seven-star Dou Zong enemy looming, even he was feeling a bit uncertain. Better to boost his strength now and minimize the risk of anything going wrong during the battle.
Otherwise, if a Dou Zun like him got chased across the world by a Dou Zong again, even after being resurrected—how could he show his face afterward?
Still, he was too embarrassed to take it for free.
After glancing at Xiao Yixian, he retrieved a scroll and tossed it to Lin Feng. At the sa ti, he said, "Old man won't take your stuff for nothing. Back when I was alive, I had a friend with the Woeful Poison Body.
To help him suppress the body's eruptions, I spent years researching and eventually developed a sealing technique called 'Heavenly Fla Seal'."
"This sealing art uses the domineering, explosive power of fire-type techniques to suppress the poison aura. Now that you possess a Heavenly Fla, it will work even better. But be warned—it can only be used once, and the effect will only last for three years."
As he spoke, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's tone turned a little wistful.
Back then, in those three years, he had traveled to countless places, yet still couldn't find a way to truly cure the Woeful Poison Body.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his friend's poisonous aura invaded his brain, the body erupted completely… and he perished.
