The na "Elder Ying Shan" caused a stir in the silent city of Mo City. After a brief pause, the atmosphere erupted in astonished whispers, and countless shocked eyes turned towards the gray-haired, hawk-nosed elder who had suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Elder Ying Shan? Is he the sa one who was ranked among the top three on the Black Ranking? He's still alive?"
"He's not dead, just been in seclusion all these years. Who would've thought we'd see this legendary figure from the Black-Corner Region today? It's truly unexpected."
"Back then, he was already a peak Dou Huang. After so many years, he must've broken through to Dou Zong by now, right?"
"I can't believe Han Feng managed to summon soone like him. This is going to be troubleso for the Yuan Manor."
While the crowd behind was buzzing with noise and speculation, the battle in the sky was shrouded in a different, more ominous atmosphere. Eyes filled with a mixture of surprise, fear, and intrigue turned to the Elder Ying Shan, whose arrival had shifted the balance of the confrontation.
mbers of the Black Alliance were visibly relieved, while those from the Yuan Manor wore expressions of deep concern, as a powerful ally had just appeared on the other side. The Elder Ying Shan paid no heed to the mixed gazes around him. Floating in the air, his face remained expressionless, yet an aura of cold pride radiated from his every pore. In the Black-Corner Region, there were no weaklings.
He had once been one of the top three strongest, a figure whose na alone sent shivers down the spine of many. Even though years of seclusion had tempered his ferocity, anyone who thought of him as an easy target would soon find themselves paying a bloody price.
At that mont, the purple-gold hue in Mo Yu's eyes gradually faded, revealing his usual silver pupils. His gaze fell on the Elder Ying Shan, and his brow furrowed slightly as he recalled the information he knew about the man.
In the original story, during the battle for the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva from the Black Emperor Sect, the Elder Ying Shan had made a notable appearance. As a four-star Dou Zong, he stood at the pinnacle of the Black-Corner Region. Mo Yu hadn't expected this person to have such a close connection with Han Feng.
In the original, when Han Feng was killed by Xiao Yan, the Elder Ying Shan had never pursued vengeance. But Mo Yu knew that people in the Black-Corner Region were motivated by self-interest, so if Han Feng were still alive, their bond would indeed be significant. But since Han Feng was already dead, it would be foolish to ask the Elder Ying Shan to avenge him.
Unfortunately, Han Feng had barely missed death at the hands of She Lao, and just at this critical mont, the Elder Ying Shan had arrived.
"Elder Ying Shan, do you intend to intervene in the matter between the Yuan Manor and the Black Alliance?" Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed slightly, his voice cold and stern.
From an outsider's perspective, it appeared that Mo Yu had easily defeated Han Feng, but Mo Yu knew better. She Lao, despite his powerful bloodline and strength, had already reached a critical point of exhaustion. Unlike Yao Lao, who could rely on his soul power even without a physical body, She Lao's strength was tied to his physical form.
Without his true body, his combat abilities were significantly reduced, and his bloodline power wasn't as easily restored. After their previous battle with Han Feng, She Lao was on the verge of collapse. If they faced a Dou Zong now, She Lao would need to enter a long period of recovery.
"The Yuan Manor? The Black Alliance? When did these two factions appear in the Black-Corner Region?" The Elder Ying Shan seed to ponder the situation before shaking his head.
"I care not for the Yuan Manor or the Black Alliance. Han Feng once did a favor, and I owe him a debt. If I had been in seclusion and not received any distress signals, I would not have intervened. But today, I just so happened to be passing through and will not turn a blind eye."
The Elder Ying Shan's gaze flickered as he studied Mo Yu. His sharp eyes could see that Mo Yu was no ordinary young man. Despite the energy fluctuations from earlier, he couldn't see through Mo Yu's true strength.
In his many years of experience, the Elder Ying Shan had learned to recognize power, and he was surprised to find that the silver-eyed youth before him had nearly killed Han Feng, who was a peak Dou Huang.
At that mont, Han Feng staggered out of the rubble, coughing violently. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, his face pale and weak. He was barely standing after surviving the devastating blow, but his eyes burned with deep hatred as he glared at Mo Yu.
"Ha... Elder Ying Shan, you've co. Great! Quickly kill this little bastard for , and I'll give you three chances to have refine six-star pills for you for free. When I break through to beco a seven-star alchemist, I'll refine a seven-star pill for you as well. You know my talent. In my lifeti, breaking through to beco a seven-star alchemist is not a problem."
As Han Feng spoke, the crowd watching from Mo City gasped. Three chances to refine six-star pills and one opportunity for a seven-star pill—such an offer was beyond tempting. In the Black-Corner Region, seven-star pills were considered high-grade, and they could turn the world upside down if they fell into the right hands.
Although Han Feng was only a six-star alchemist now, few doubted that he would break through to seven stars, especially considering his teacher, Yao Chen, was the legendary alchemist known as the "dicine Sovereign."
When the Elder Ying Shan heard Han Feng's offer, his eyes flashed with interest. He looked at Mo Yu with a glint of coldness. The Elder Ying Shan had not co to save Han Feng out of sheer loyalty—he was attracted to the potential value Han Feng held, especially his talent as an alchemist.
However, the Elder Ying Shan wasn't one to act recklessly. If Han Feng had died, he would have simply moved on. But as long as Han Feng lived, he would hold significant value, and a potential seven-star alchemist in the Black-Corner Region was too rare to ignore.
The Elder Ying Shan's dry, withered hand extended, and space seed to distort around him. His cold gaze fixed on Mo Yu.
Seeing the look in the Elder Ying Shan's eyes, Mo Yu's expression darkened. He hadn't anticipated that Han Feng would resort to such desperate asures. What was worse, the Elder Ying Shan appeared to believe him.
A four-star Dou Zong was formidable, but even without She Lao's full strength, Mo Yu knew the odds were still not in his favor. The tension in the air thickened, and the two powerful figures were about to clash again.
But just as the Elder Ying Shan was about to make his move, he suddenly paused, his brow furrowing as he turned his gaze towards the far horizon.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you, Ying Shan, to interfere in such trivial matters. I heard you've been in closed-door seclusion for over a decade. You should focus on your cultivation and stay out of trouble. Why bother coming out and causing trouble for yourself?"
As the killing intent on Elder Ying Shan grew stronger, a calm and steady, yet ancient voice suddenly echoed from the distant horizon.
The next mont, an old man dressed in black appeared in the air. While the old man looked unremarkable, the aura emanating from him was no weaker than that of Elder Ying Shan.
The people of Mo City showed surprise upon seeing this sowhat familiar face.
Because this man was none other than the current Grand Elder of the Jia Nan Academy, Su Qian!
"It's actually the Grand Elder of Jia Nan Academy. Why is he here?"
"Don't you rember? The Lord of Yuan Manor, Mo Yu, is from Jia Nan Academy. Grand Elder Su Qian must have co to assist Yuan Manor."
"This is going to be interesting. Yuan Manor now has a Dou Zong-level expert helping them. Who would have thought we'd witness such a battle among so many Dou Zong experts today? This trip was definitely worth it."
...
Seeing Su Qian appear, the commotion around grew even more intense.
"Su Qian, it's really you. It's been a long ti. I rember the last ti we t, you were still just an ordinary elder of Jia Nan Academy. I didn't expect that when we et again today, you have already risen to the position of Grand Elder," said Elder Ying Shan, his face darkening.
Although his words carried a hint of an old friend reunited, the longstanding enmity between Jia Nan Academy and the Black-Corner Region ant that he and Su Qian were no strangers to conflict.
Even though they didn't have any deep hatred, there was certainly no friendship between them. Now that Su Qian had appeared, it seed that Elder Ying Shan's plan to kill Mo Yu would be ruined.
"Mo Yu is a student of Jia Nan Academy, and Yuan Manor is an allied force of ours. Ying Shan, you should think carefully before you act," Su Qian said coldly, his gaze sweeping over the Yuan Manor mbers locked in battle with the Black Alliance experts, particularly the Fire Yao Puppet, which was fighting evenly with the Golden and Silver Elders.
A trace of surprise flashed in Su Qian's eyes, but he quickly reined in his emotions and coldly addressed Elder Ying Shan.
Afterward, he cast a quick glance toward Mo Yu's position. Seeing that Mo Yu was unhard, Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Yu had truly surprised him. When he first received word that the Black Alliance was attacking Yuan Manor, he had feared that Mo Yu might not be able to hold on long enough for his arrival.
But seeing everything now, he began to wonder whether Yuan Manor was really sothing Mo Yu had built.
A force ford by an Inner Academy faction had actually suppressed the Black Alliance, which consisted of several top-tier forces.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Elder Ying Shan, the Black Alliance might have been wiped out by Yuan Manor.
"You're threatening ? Apart from the headmaster of Jia Nan Academy, there is no one this old man, fear," Elder Ying Shan sneered at Su Qian's warning.
"You can try," Su Qian responded with a cold smile.
Upon hearing this, Elder Ying Shan's expression stiffened. Although he wasn't afraid of Su Qian, opposing Jia Nan Academy was sothing he had to think carefully about.
anwhile, Han Feng, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but darken his expression. He hadn't expected Su Qian to arrive at such a critical mont. His plans had been thwarted.
However, with the situation as it was, Han Feng could only suppress his hatred for Mo Yu. Now, it was clear that neither side could overwhelm the other.
Bowing slightly to Elder Ying Shan, Han Feng said, "Thank you, Elder Ying Shan, for your assistance. I would like to invite you to Feng City. If you accept, I'll be sure to repay you handsoly."
"Oh? Since the dicine Emperor has invited so sincerely, how could I refuse?" Elder Ying Shan's eyes flickered, then he smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Han Feng felt a surge of hope. Since the other party was willing to co to Feng City, he now had a chance to pull him into the Black Alliance. With this, the outco of the struggle between the Black Alliance and Yuan Manor would no longer be certain.
Thinking this, Han Feng turned his gaze toward Mo Yu and coldly said, "This battle may have been a loss for the Black Alliance, we will et again. This humiliation is one we will return tenfold."
"Retreat!"
With a wave of his hand, Han Feng led the Black Alliance forces in retreat.
As Han Feng's command echoed, the Golden and Silver Elders, along with Fan Lao and the others, who were locked in battle with the Yuan Manor experts, imdiately recognized the shift in the situation. They swiftly broke free and began to retreat.
"This Mo City, is not a place you can co and go as you please! If you're leaving, you'd better leave sothing behind!"
However, just as the Black Alliance forces were about to retreat, Mo Yu's cold voice rang out.
As his words fell, the Fire Yao Puppet, which had been fighting the Golden and Silver Elders, suddenly moved, its form blazing like flas. It quickly leapt to the back of the retreating group and delivered a heavy kick to Yuan Yi's head.
Though it seed like a casual kick, the sharp gust from the kick created a crater in the ground, demonstrating the power behind it. Obviously, even a high-level Dou Huang would be hard-pressed to survive this blow, let alone the low-ranking Dou Huang, Yuan Yi.
The instant the fiery steel legs struck, the entire city fell into an eerie silence.
No one had expected the Fire Yao Puppet to suddenly turn murderous!
Yuan Yi's expression changed drastically. However, just as he attempted to defend himself, the fiery steel leg already struck his body.
"Boom!"
In front of countless wide-eyed onlookers, the Fire Yao Puppet landed a solid blow to Yuan Yi's waist, unleashing a terrifying force that surged like a tidal wave.
Everyone then watched as Yuan Yi's body was sent flying into the air with a low, muffled sound. His body traced an arc in the sky before crashing to the ground with a resounding thud. His bones shattered with a distinct crack, echoing throughout the otherwise silent city.
"What a pity. If I could have obtained Han Feng's soul as a six-star alchemist, it would have been perfect. But since the situation has changed, I'll have to make do with you instead."
Looking at Yuan Yi's lifeless body, Mo Yu shook his head and murmured. He then summoned the Black Lotus Soul Thunder, and with a burst of unusual suction, a faintly translucent soul began to rise from Yuan Yi's corpse.
The soul was eventually absorbed into the Black Lotus Soul Thunder, disappearing without a trace...
