"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
After accepting the map from Han Yue, Xiao Feng took out a white jade pill bottle and said, "I happen to have a Triple Imprint Green Spirit Pill here. I don't need it, so I'll just give it to you!"
(ω)
Hearing this, Han Yue's eyes lit up.
The Triple Pattern Green Spirit Pill was well known—it could directly boost a Dou Grandmaster's cultivation by three stars.
Han Yue was currently at the six-star Dou Grandmaster level, making this the perfect time for her to take the pill.
"Um..."
Even though she really wanted the Triple Imprint Green Spirit Pill, Han Yue hesitated instead of reaching out to accept it. Feeling a little embarrassed, she asked, "Isn't this too valuable?"
After all, the Triple Imprint Green Spirit Pill was a fifth-grade pill. If it were auctioned in the Black-Corner Region, it could fetch at least a million gold coins.
"Come on, don't be so polite with me. We're all friends, aren't we?"
As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, he directly grabbed Han Yue's soft, delicate hand and stuffed the white jade pill bottle into her palm.
"Whoosh—"
After doing all this, Xiao Feng didn't give Han Yue a chance to refuse. He immediately transformed into a golden streak of light and soared into the sky, vanishing into the distant horizon within moments.
Watching Xiao Feng's departing figure, Han Yue subconsciously tightened her grip on the white jade pill bottle, revealing a silly yet delighted smile.
After all, what maiden doesn't long for romance?
In Han Yue's eyes, Xiao Feng was the ideal partner she had always dreamed of—handsome, young, and the founder of the Supreme Alliance.
If not for her close friendship with Xiao Xun'er, Han Yue would have already pursued Xiao Feng without hesitation.
Now, with Xiao Xun'er absent, Xiao Feng had used a Triple Imprint Green Spirit Pill worth a million gold coins to trade for a Central State North Region map worth only tens of thousands of gold coins. It was obvious that he had feelings for her and was using this as an excuse to give her a gift.
Since both had mutual feelings, she figured she couldn't be blamed for stealing Xun'er's man. At worst, she'd just start calling Xun'er "Elder Sister" in the future.
Fine, Han Yue admitted it—she simply craved Xiao Feng's body.
There was no helping it. The fact that she and Xiao Xun'er were such good friends showed that they had similar personalities and tastes.
That's why in modern society, there's a saying: Be wary of fire, theft, and your best friend. The chance of a best friend stealing your man was simply too high.
Moreover, in the Dou Qi Continent, polygamy was normal. So Han Yue felt no guilt about taking Xiao Xun'er's place.
Central State North Region, Tianbei City.
"Swish!"
A dazzling golden light descended from the sky, landing in a forest outside Tianbei City.
As the golden glow faded, a middle-aged man in a black robe with an unremarkable face was revealed—it was none other than the disguised Xiao Feng.
Since the Central State Continent was filled with powerful experts, including Dou Venerate and even Dou Saint-level powerhouses, Xiao Feng had to keep a low profile if he wanted to stir up trouble. He needed to disguise himself to avoid implicating the Supreme Alliance and the Xiao Clan.
With a light step, Xiao Feng's figure disappeared from the spot and swiftly flew toward Tianbei City.
After entering the towering, majestic city, Xiao Feng didn't act recklessly. Instead, he first investigated the distribution of power within the city.
The two most recognized major forces in Tianbei City were the Hong Clan and the Han Clan. Both clans had Dou Ancestor experts overseeing them.
Although the patriarchs of both clans were five-star Dou Ancestor experts, the Hong Clan had an overall advantage in strength.
In particular, the Hong Clan's younger generation produced a genius named Hong Chen.
Since childhood, Hong Chen had demonstrated astonishing talent. Later, he joined the Wind Lightning Pavilion, and half a year ago, he had already broken through to the Dou King level, earning the favor of the sect's elders.
Because of the Hong Clan's connection to the Wind Lightning Pavilion, the Han Clan had always been at a disadvantage against them.
Besides these two second-tier forces, Tianbei City also housed many third-tier factions, each with Dou Emperor experts among their ranks.
After thoroughly understanding the city's power dynamics, Xiao Feng didn't immediately make a move on the Hong and Han Clans. Instead, he began subjugating the third-tier factions first.
With his current strength, if he fully unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, even three-star Dou Ancestor experts would struggle to resist—let alone mere Dou Emperor-level experts.
Xiao Feng infiltrated the strongholds of these third-tier forces and knocked them all unconscious with his Conqueror's Haki.
With a single command, dozens of shadow creatures emerged from his shadow, dragging the unconscious Dou King and Dou Emperor experts before him.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng immediately infused them with Demon King's Blood, transforming them into undead servants.
To avoid drawing attention from other major forces or supreme experts, Xiao Feng didn't rebrand these factions as Supreme Alliance branches. Instead, he turned them into covert operatives for his alliance.
To outsiders, these forces seemed unchanged—some were even still openly hostile to each other. But in reality, they all secretly obeyed Xiao Feng's orders.
By the time Xiao Feng had finished subjugating all the third-tier factions in the city, the sky had completely darkened. Only then did he shift his gaze toward the Hong and Han Clans.
"Boom!!!"
A formless wave of Haki instantly enveloped the entire Han Clan estate, knocking out everyone except for the Han Clan patriarch.
"Who dares to attack my Han Clan—"
Before the Han Clan patriarch could even finish his sentence, an invisible force knocked him unconscious.
From the shadows, Xiao Feng emerged from the darkness, recalling his shadow clone, which had ambushed the patriarch.
The shadow clones summoned by Limbo: Border Jail possessed the same cultivation level as Xiao Feng himself—true six-star Dou Ancestor powerhouses.
Since the shadow clone was stronger than the Han Clan patriarch and launched a sneak attack, the latter stood no chance.
"Greetings, Alliance Leader!"
Half an hour later, led by the Han Clan patriarch, dozens of high-ranking Han Clan members—each at the Dou King level or higher—knelt before Xiao Feng in submission.
As he gazed at the kneeling Han Clan members, a thought surfaced in Xiao Feng's mind—Han Yue.
He wondered, when Han Yue saw her father and grandfather bowing to him, would she regret leading the wolf into the house?
Of course, such things were a matter of perspective.
Those transformed by Xiao Feng's Demon King's Blood were indeed under his complete control. However, their strength greatly increased, and they gained immortality—many people would gladly accept such a gift.
