The news of the founding of the Black Alliance shook the entire Black-Corner Region.
Some unowned lands that had not been occupied initially thought this was a joke.
It was only when the news was confirmed again and again that they realized that the chaotic Black-Corner Region had truly ushered in unification.
The Alliance Leader, Han Feng, was the current top of the Black Ranking. He had traveled to the Central Plains years ago, and after returning, he quickly summoned all factions and expressed his intention to establish an alliance.
Originally, everyone naturally refused, but no one expected that the most powerful Demon Flame Valley would be razed to the ground overnight.
The sect disciples were all reduced to slaves.
The Valley Master, Old Demon Di, a dignified seven-star Dou Ancestor, even knelt in front of the gate of Feng City to beg for forgiveness.
Everyone found it hard to understand what Old Demon Di had gone through to choose such a humiliating way to admit defeat.
You are a seven-star Dou Ancestor!
Where in the world can you not go?
Has Han Feng's strength reached that level?
Although puzzled, Han Feng's act of killing the chicken to warn the monkey undoubtedly deterred everyone.
The process of forming the Black Alliance afterwards was very smooth, and everyone was very cooperative.
After Han Feng became the Alliance Leader, he quickly launched an investigation into the entire Black-Corner Region.
It was publicly announced as a geographical resurvey.
However, many factions became vigilant and began to control the security in their cities.
This was no small matter. In the Black-Corner Region, order had always been an antonym.
Han Feng's move was to completely overturn the tradition of the Black-Corner Region.
Some factions even broke out into internal strife because of this.
However, Han Feng was not particularly concerned about this.
His original purpose was not to change the Black-Corner Region; doing this was just a matter of convenience.
The world has never lacked chaos. If this place is peaceful, new chaos will naturally arise elsewhere.
Cycles repeat, round and round.
Han Feng had traveled the continent and saw this very clearly.
The reason he could influence and change such a chaotic place as the Black-Corner Region was simply because he was strong.
The strong can make all the rules.
Were the leaders of the Black-Corner Region willing?
Certainly not!
But they had no choice.
The name "White Shura" had already spread among them.
Now everyone knew that Han Feng was a brutal overlord who could not be provoked.
Fang Yan had verified this for everyone with his life.
Smiling on the surface, exterminating the sect that night.
Fear of a person often comes from this kind of unknown.
Therefore, after seeing the "Black Alliance Regulations" promulgated by Han Feng, the leaders of all parties felt more fortunate in their hearts.
With a known reference, many unknown harms could be avoided.
———————
The elders of Jia Nan Academy were shocked when they heard that Han Feng had unified the Black-Corner Region.
Han Feng had only told the two elders, Qian and Bai, about this matter, and they hadn't heard a word.
Logically, if the Black-Corner Region was unified by a certain force, their Jia Nan Academy had to respond.
But this alliance leader was Han Feng, the great benefactor of the academy.
For a moment, the elders didn't know what to do.
In the Outer Academy Vice-Headmaster's office, the desk was piled with intelligence collected from informants all over the Black-Corner Region.
Hu Gan looked at the documents one by one, overwhelmed.
As the Vice-Headmaster, what he needed to consider was how to maintain the stability of the Outer Academy.
If he couldn't guarantee the safety of the students, then he, the Vice-Headmaster, would be derelict in his duty.
Now that the Black-Corner Region was unified, all factions were in a process of radical transformation, and the scale of the battles breaking out was not small.
It was currently the peak recruitment period. If something went wrong, he would be hard-pressed to absolve himself of blame.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door, and Hu Gan called out to enter.
A man in a blood-red coat walked in.
The commander of the Law Enforcement Team, Wu Tianlang.
"Vice-Headmaster, the Law Enforcement Team is ready and can set off at any time."
"Mm, thank you for your hard work."
"It is my duty."
The man in red patted his chest and said solemnly.
Hu Gan watched the Law Enforcement Team fly away on flying magical beasts, sighing in his heart.
This year's new student enrollment was probably the one with the largest deployment of manpower.
Hopefully, everything would be safe.
————————
Feng City. Han Feng only had free time after finishing the initial establishment of the Black Alliance.
With a wave of his hand, the treasury that Jin Xi had collected opened a mouth.
Inside were the century-old foundation and belongings of the Demon Flame Valley.
Filling it into the Feng City treasury was another large sum of income.
"Hmm?"
During his scan, Han Feng discovered an interesting item.
"Sky Demon Puppet."
A scroll full of ancient aura appeared in Han Feng's hand.
Judging from its age, it should be something from a long time ago.
Han Feng opened the scroll and browsed through it.
"This is actually the Human Puppet Method."
Refining puppets with humans saved many tedious steps of weapon refining and was a forbidden method.
With this method, even if one was not a weapon refiner, one could learn it on the spot and complete the puppet refinement with extremely high efficiency.
In the Nanli Empire, this method was prohibited.
However, human puppets still circulated in private.
The twenty-four human puppets Han Feng had collected at the beginning were the work of the Forging Heaven Pavilion.
"It's somewhat interesting."
After reading the scroll, Han Feng's eyes flashed.
The Human Puppet Method recorded on the scroll could actually be upgraded.
From the lowest Human Rank, to Earth Rank, and then to Heaven Rank.
Human Rank was equivalent to Dou Emperor.
Earth Rank was equivalent to Dou Ancestor.
Heaven Rank was equivalent to Dou Venerate.
If one had a large amount of resources in hand, mass-producing Dou Venerate experts would no longer be empty talk.
As expected of a forbidden method...
A mere Old Demon Di actually had such an ancient legacy in his hands.
One cannot underestimate the people of the world.
Han Feng suddenly remembered that he still had many corpses of Hall of Souls experts preserved in his storage ring.
Originally, he had thought of keeping them as reserve bodies for resurrection, but now with the "Sky Demon Puppet," they had another use.
He could find another body when he found his master.
The bodies of these Hall of Souls people were not worthy of being his master's resurrected body.
Thinking of this, Han Feng no longer hesitated. He pointed out several corpses and began to refine them.
Three days later.
One Sky Demon Puppet, four Earth Demon Puppets, and twenty Human Demon Puppets were fresh out of the oven.
The corpse materials in Han Feng's hands were also almost exhausted, mainly because there were not enough soul bodies.
"With these puppets guarding, I can also get away from the Black-Corner Region."
Han Feng muttered to himself.
The only reason for the Black Alliance's existence now was Han Feng's strength.
If Han Feng's strength was insufficient, the Black Alliance could collapse in an instant.
Only when the Black Alliance formed a real interest group could it gradually stabilize.
Coming out of the training room, there were a few intelligence reports on the table.
Han Feng opened them and took a look.
[The Law Enforcement Team of Jia Nan Academy has been dispatched in large numbers to suppress the riots at the border.]
Han Feng's brows relaxed.
The academy hadn't been idle either.
The Law Enforcement Team did have quite a reputation in the Black-Corner Region.
Its commander, Wu Tianlang, was a Dou Emperor expert with considerable strength. In the eyes of the people in the Black-Corner Region, he was synonymous with the righteous path.
With their deployment, the situation in the Black-Corner Region should stabilize faster.
Han Feng really couldn't spare manpower for the border, but he didn't expect Jia Nan Academy to connect.
Han Feng glanced in the direction of Jia Nan Academy.
In the future, with the Black-Corner Region pacified, the students of Jia Nan Academy wouldn't need to come out for adventure every year.
One must know that in the past Jia Nan Academy, almost every year students would die in the Black-Corner Region.
This was a very cruel thing.
Even with the protection of mentors, the dangers of the Black-Corner Region were not something ordinary people could guess.
A day later, Han Feng initially reorganized the affairs of the Black Alliance and distributed the tasks.
Su Mei of the Rakshasa Gate got her wish this time and was valued by Han Feng, serving as a nominal elder in Feng City.
In the future, to see Han Feng, she wouldn't need so many complicated processes; she could just announce herself.
Most importantly, as the center of the Black Alliance, Feng City had far greater power than other cities.
It would also become stronger and stronger in the future.
However, just as Su Mei was looking forward to seeing Han Feng every day, this Alliance Leader ran away again.
Jia Nan Academy.
Han Feng went directly to the Inner Academy and met Su Qian.
As soon as they met, the Great Elder exclaimed in admiration.
"Elder Han, you've done something big recently!"
Han Feng didn't stand on ceremony and smiled, "I did it when I thought of it. The Black-Corner Region has been chaotic for so many years. We can't really treat chaos as an honor, can we?"
Speaking of which, he was born in the Black-Corner Region.
This was also his homeland.
Su Qian nodded.
"You've done what many people wanted to do but didn't dare to do."
"What is your cultivation level now?"
When he came back last time, Han Feng's cultivation had already surpassed Su Qian. This time, he still couldn't see through him, so Su Qian didn't know that Han Feng had already broken through to Dou Venerate.
However, judging from the battle report of him defeating the Demon Flame Valley, Han Feng had probably surpassed Old Demon Di.
At least a six-star Dou Ancestor realm, or maybe even higher.
"Dou Venerate."
"Mm... Dou... huh?"
Su Qian's mouth dropped open.
Han Feng snapped his fingers lightly, and the space wrapping the Inner Academy trembled faintly.
Su Qian looked at Han Feng like he was looking at a monster.
How do you cultivate!
A Dou Emperor, not only came from behind, but also became a Dou Venerate.
Even the headmaster back then didn't have such a terrifying promotion speed.
Su Qian was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and smiled.
Is this a genius?
Not only was his alchemy far superior to everyone else, but his cultivation was also so stunning to the world.
The Northwest Continent was no longer suitable for him. Only the Central Plains, where heroes gathered, was the place for Han Feng to display his skills, right?
Su Qian had also traveled in the Central Plains and deeply felt the abundance of experts and vast resources there.
The Northwest Continent was more like a retirement home.
Raising their group of old Daoists who were powerless to go further.
Although it was leisurely, it lacked opportunities.
Su Qian had no idea that right under his feet lay an "opportunity" that even the strongest on the continent would covet.
"It is truly an honor for Jia Nan Academy to have you as an elder."
Su Qian lamented.
"Jia Nan Academy also helped me a lot. If Great Elder Su Qian hadn't agreed to let me enter the academy back then, I probably wouldn't have reached my current height."
The two recalled the past and smiled at each other coincidentally.
Although Han Feng had had various unbearable moments in the past, looking at it now, he was indeed a brilliant and stunning person.
In the future, he might hope to go a step further and reach the Saint realm that few people have reached.
"If the headmaster knew about you, he would probably be very gratified."
Su Qian said with a smile, and at the same time, he felt a little proud in his heart.
This Han Feng was "invited" into the academy by him.
Although he was the passive party and Han Feng was the one who took the initiative to request it, the result was not much different.
"I came here this time to say goodbye. Next, I'm going to search for someone all over the Northwest Continent, so I'll trouble the Great Elder to keep an eye on the Black-Corner Region."
Han Feng said.
"Search for someone?"
Su Qian was taken aback. He hadn't expected Han Feng to make such a big commotion just to find someone.
"My master, Yao Chen, might not be dead yet."
Han Feng revealed.
Su Qian looked at Han Feng in extreme surprise.
As an old-timer in the Black-Corner Region, he knew Han Feng's identity and origin.
There were many people named Han Feng in the world, but the Medicine Emperor Han Feng of the Black-Corner Region was the only one.
(Note: I wrote a rather contradictory plot before. Over at the Wind Lightning South Pavilion, I said that Han Feng wasn't very famous and many people didn't know he was Yao Chen's disciple, because I considered that Han Feng was very young at that time and had no seniority. But actually, I couldn't find Han Feng's age in the original work, it was rather vague. I'm also not sure how many years Yao Chen had been missing after his death. Here I set it as Han Feng being in his teens when he defected. After thirty years of development in the Black-Corner Region, some people knew that Han Feng was Yao Chen's disciple, but after all, he wasn't very famous, so mentioning Han Feng's name wouldn't be associated with Venerate Yao. Only Alchemist Han Feng would be associated with Venerate Yao. The previous plot can't be changed, so I'll add this here.)
————————————
Su Qian now understood the real reason why Han Feng unified the Black-Corner Region.
His previous malicious speculations about Han Feng were also completely overturned at this moment.
How could such a sincere person be a bad person?
"Don't worry, I'll watch over the Black-Corner Region. You just go do what you want to do."
"Thank you."
After bidding farewell to Su Qian, Han Feng returned to the small courtyard and picked up the two girls.
Now their age allowed them to integrate into the Inner Academy and no longer be treated as little girls, so Han Feng had left them in the Inner Academy these days, thinking that they could also make more friends.
However, after asking, he found out that the two had been cultivating in their room all these days, and after cultivating, they planted flowers and raised grass.
They were not interested in joining the Inner Academy group at all.
Han Feng was helpless, but he also blamed himself. For so many years, he hadn't let them learn how to get along with outsiders, so they might be a bit closed off.
Although for cultivators, solitude was not a bad thing.
Most of the time, cultivation was a process of solitude.
"Let's go. We're going back to the Jia Ma Empire."
Han Feng took the two girls and flew into the sky.
The Jia Ma Empire?
Hearing this, the two young girls looked slightly stunned.
They had both been people of the Jia Ma Empire.
It was just that their fates were not very good.
If they had continued to survive in the Jia Ma Empire at that time, their ends might have been miserable.
Lin Xian'er's poison body awakened, killing everyone in the village, with nowhere to go.
Qing Lin, as a Snake-Person mixed-blood, was despised by the people on the border and could only choose to follow her mother as a slave or starve to death.
It was Han Feng who took them away from their misfortune and enjoyed the peaceful time that followed.
Now, both girls had grown up.
Gone were the confusion and helplessness of the past.
"Phew!"
The two girls let out a long breath, their eyes showing some determination and a little bit of nervousness.
Facing the misery of the past was also a necessary path in life.
