Chapter 246: Mystic Ice Dragon Soar! Old Hai Has a Point! Han Feng Cries (Part 2)

"

"Mere petty tricks."

"Hmph."

A cold smile crept onto his lips.

Hai Dong Po's eyebrows furrowed.

Sensing the constant erosion of the Ice Dragon, he whispered, "Indeed, you are strong."

"But it's not over yet."

He formed hand seals and unleashed another attack.

"Dragon... Lift your head!"

Buzz!

At that moment, the Ice Dragon below Luo Deputy Pavilion Master suddenly lifted its head! At the critical moment, it opened its mouth and swallowed Luo Deputy Pavilion Master, who was filled with disdain.

The frost spread rapidly, and the disdain on Luo Deputy Pavilion Master's face vanished. Simultaneously... His entire body froze! Even his divine soul was on the verge of freezing due to the cold.

"!!!"

But...

There was a gap in their strengths after all.

Boom!

The Ice Dragon, which had been corroded by the black qi, suddenly shattered and exploded, turning into countless fragments that dissipated into the void.

Luo Deputy Pavilion Master reappeared, having been almost completely frozen.

The ice on his body quickly receded.

He glared coldly, his killing intent palpable, "Well, well, Ice Emperor Hai Dong Po."

"I cannot pass by without dealing with you first."

"However, I admit that you can block me, but my subordinates have a clear path."

"Can the Moon Embrace Sect and Xiao Ling'er withstand it?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

Hai Dong Po responded coldly, "I only need to stop you."

"Fine, fine, fine."

"Come and die!"

Luo Deputy Pavilion Master burst into action.

After their brief exchange, he realized that although he was slightly stronger than Hai Dong Po, he couldn't leave due to the other's obstruction.

In that case...

There was no choice but to fight with all his might and slay him to reach the Pill Tower.

Fortunately, his subordinates hadn't encountered any obstacles.

With them already there, the useless Han Feng and the others from the Pill Tower shouldn't have been dealt with so quickly.

He roared and attacked again.

Hai Dong Po remained silent but directly engaged him in another intense battle.

The ninth realm clash was too fierce.

Even in the void, from a distance, it still resembled an apocalyptic scene unfolding in the sky.

The myriad beings within the Void Illusion City were mostly filled with fear.

The three Ninth Realm existences who were seated in the city were not at ease either. They had been closely monitoring the battle situation and shielding the city’s inhabitants from the terrifying pressure of the Ninth Realm clash.

Otherwise, the city’s inhabitants would all be trembling in fear.

"Is it Luo Ling, one of the three deputy pavilion masters of the Hidden Soul Palace, and that old man Hai Dongpo from the Hai Family?"

"I remember that the Hidden Soul Palace and the Hai Family have no overt connections or enmities. Why would they suddenly clash?"

"I don’t know, let’s just watch for now. But no matter what, this place is still in the Northeastern Domain. For the Hidden Soul Palace, a Northern Domain force, to want to show off their might here in our Northeastern Domain, hahaha..."

...

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

"Lan Yue Sect."

"And my good younger sister..."

"What do you actually know, and why did you suddenly make a move?"

Han Feng's face was extremely grim. While entangled in battle with Ya Ya, she couldn’t help but think rapidly, trying to figure out where the problem lay.

To attack her?

She wasn’t surprised.

After all, since Yao Mu was still alive, they wanted to kill her for revenge and cleanse the sect. This was very normal and reasonable.

Therefore, she had never doubted anything until Luo Deputy Pavilion Master replied.

But now, she keenly sensed something was wrong.

This was no longer just about her and the Inferno Pill Tower!

They even knew that she and Luo Deputy Pavilion Master had reached an agreement, and even arranged people in advance to intercept Luo Deputy Pavilion Master, preventing him from coming to her aid...

This was far more than just wanting to kill her and cleanse the sect.

They must have known about her and Luo Deputy Pavilion Master’s plan.

But how did they know?

She would never have leaked it!

Since Luo Deputy Pavilion Master blamed her, it seemed he hadn’t leaked it either.

If not him, and not her...

Who else knew about it?

At the time, it was clearly just her and Luo Deputy Pavilion Master present!

Just the two of them...?!

"Wait!!!"

Suddenly.

Han Feng suddenly realized, breaking out in a cold sweat: "No, that’s not right!"

"It wasn’t just the two of us; at the time, there was another person present."

"Although we had our secret talks and confirmed our cooperation in private, there was someone else before that."

"And..."

"He knew that I and Luo Deputy Pavilion Master wanted to join forces against the Lan Yue Sect..."

"Bright Moon Sect, Ji Haoyue??!!!"

"Is it him?!"

Han Feng realized, but she instantly felt numb!

Damn it!!!

No wonder such a secret could be exposed; it was... damn you, little bastard!

No matter how she calculated, Han Feng never thought Ji Haoyue would leak the information.

This doesn’t make sense!

Logically, with the rise of the Lan Yue Sect, the Bright Moon Sect should be the most troubled and the most eager to eliminate them.

Although Ji Haoyue is shameless, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who doesn’t understand the importance of being vigilant in times of peace, right?

In Han Feng’s view, although Ji Haoyue had refused her proposal that day, she thought he was just trying to save face and was very cunningly unwilling to exert effort.

After all, with the Inferno Pill Tower and the Hidden Soul Palace both determined to act, the Lan Yue Sect had no chance of survival.

Since they were doomed anyway, why should the Bright Moon Sect take action?

Sitting back and watching the threat be eliminated was perfect, right?

If I were in his shoes...

If it weren’t for that incident from the past that I couldn’t forget, and Xiao Ling Er’s rapid growth...

Plus, I have designs on the Unusual Flame she controls; I wouldn’t want to take action either.

But!

No matter how you look at it.

Ji Haoyue shouldn’t have leaked the information!!!

And he even informed the Lan Yue Sect??

Told their mortal enemies, who are continuously rising and becoming a major threat??

No...

Why?!

At this moment, Han Feng’s scalp tingled, and she had a million curses in her heart, not knowing whether to say them or not.

Damn...

Ji Haoyue, you’re a freaking lunatic?

After cursing in her heart, Han Feng felt a sense of ‘crisis’ looming.

She didn’t know why Ji Haoyue would do this.

There must be some hidden reason she couldn’t understand!

With Ji Haoyue being such a lunatic, it seems... nothing is impossible, right? Even if someone told me that the Bright Moon Sect and the Lan Yue Sect have been in cahoots all along and their enmity was just an act, I would believe it!

So...

Based on this analysis.

Since Ji Haoyue, this lunatic and bastard, leaked the information, is there a possibility that he might bring the Bright Moon Sect’s powerful figures to attack us, the Inferno Pill Tower?

Even if they aren’t in cahoots, the Bright Moon Sect might still act as the third party.

For example...

Coveting the pills and legacies of the Inferno Pill Tower?

"!!!"

"Even, they might already be on their way?"

Hiss!

Thinking of this, Han Feng couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

She felt numb all over.

Is it possible? This is too possible!

"Not good."

"Not good at all."

"Luo Ling is blocked, and with the element of surprise, our Inferno Pill Tower is already at a disadvantage. If this continues, once Xiao Ling Er is free, and the Bright Moon Sect arrives..."

"!!!"

Danger!

Han Feng sensed the danger, even though it was just a guess, she didn’t dare to take the risk.

If she lost this bet, there would be no chance of a comeback.

"Good, very good."

"You... are very good!"

"Since that’s the case, Venerable Self will not seek those benefits."

"Even if this results in no gains, and even a total loss, I will make you all die without a burial place, and thoroughly eliminate all threats."

Han Feng took a deep breath.

Then, she looked at those who had transformed into spectators, full of doubt and uncertainty, and spoke up in a stern voice, "Everyone!"

"I, Inferno Pill Tower, have encountered a traitor who is colluding with outsiders. At this moment, the situation is extremely chaotic."

"Although I am confident in taking them all down, to minimize losses and reduce casualties among our elders and disciples, I specifically ask for your assistance in suppressing the rebellion and killing the rebels!"

"After the matter is resolved, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

······

"!!!

Han Feng's voice entered their ears.

The numerous Pill Seekers immediately narrowed their eyes.

In terms of strength, none of them were weak.

The weakest among them were at the Fifth Stage of the Seventh Realm and above.

The strongest stood at the pinnacle of the Eighth Realm.

Altogether, there were nearly forty of them.

There were two reasons for their exceptional strength.

First, those weaker than the Fifth Stage of the Seventh Realm didn't have the qualifications to come to the headquarters of Inferno Pill Tower to seek pills; they could simply go to the shops of Inferno Pill Tower and purchase them with money and resources.

Second, it was because Han Feng had deliberately selected them.

For those below the Fifth Stage of the Seventh Realm, she wouldn't even give them a second glance, nor would she allow them to find excuses to stay.

Her original plan was to gather these people, and once everything was arranged, she would have them go to the Southwestern Domain together to deal with Moon Embrace Sect.

As long as she made a generous promise and allowed them to divide the treasures within Moon Embrace Sect, including those unbeatable techniques, Imperial Armaments, and more... she wasn't afraid of them refusing.

However, Han Feng's plan was too idealistic.

An unexpected change occurred, and they were counterattacked, directly putting her in a difficult position.

Now, she had to ask these Pill Seekers for help even before 'negotiations' were completed, which made her feel rushed.

What was even more troublesome was...

These Pill Seekers had witnessed everything.

To cultivate to this level, none of them were fools.

Even with Long Aojiao present, and her debuff constantly affecting them, they still retained a basic level of rationality.

"This... what should we do?"

"Ahem, Old Xu, are you going to take action?"

"Why ask me? I was about to ask you the same thing. Why aren't you taking action? Aren't you just missing a few high-quality Void Breaking Pills to break through and advance further? If you help Han Feng defeat them, won't she refine the pills for you?"

"That's true, but this situation..."

"..."

For a moment, these forty-odd Pill Seekers hesitated.

Especially those below the Third Stage of the Eighth Realm.

Even more so...

They felt an impulse to flee.

Blazing!

A handsome reward?

Han Feng's reward was indeed tempting, but damn, Lin Fan was too devilish! With their strength, if they were targeted by him, wouldn't they be instantly defeated?

Some of them dared not move.

Some... wanted to test it out.

They transmitted a message to Han Feng, "Honored Han, we also want to help, but Lin Fan is too devilish. Can you kill the one who takes action?"

"If possible, we will definitely assist at the first opportunity."

Han Feng: "..."

What nonsense are you talking about?!

If I could find and kill that person, why would I need your help?!

Without that bastard's threat, our elders could easily crush Liang Danxia, Qian Wu, and those old things. Then, I could assist my master.

But at this moment, I still need their help, so I can't afford to offend them.

Han Feng could only suppress her anger and send a message, even giving them a warm and gentle feeling, "Everyone, don't worry."

"That rat, no matter how devilish or strong he is, is just one person."

"If he constantly obstructs our elders, he won't have the leisure to pay attention to you all. If you take action, it will definitely be smooth."

Everyone: "?!

Are you treating us like fools?

Fine, fine.

So this is how you want to play?

Let's see who dares to move! These Pill Seekers below the Third Stage of the Eighth Realm remained silent.

Even among those who had some confidence in withstanding Mini Sun without dying, none were willing to take the risk at this moment.

Especially when Han Feng was treating them like idiots...

Whoever moved was a fool.

"Why aren't you all taking action?"

Someone asked, not knowing the intention behind the question.

"Hehe."

Most of the others responded with a laugh.

You're not taking action either? But some were seriously discussing, "I don't think it's necessary."

"Why?"

"Why? Can't you figure it out?"

"That's also true..."

"No, why are you all speaking in riddles?"

"Nonsense, can't you see the current situation? Inferno Pill Tower seems to have the advantage, but don't forget, Moon Embrace Sect still has many peerless geniuses who haven't shown themselves!"

"Since they dared to take action and are still calm at this moment, it means they must have a backup plan and are confident."

"We've been watching the show for a while, and they haven't reacted at all, which means they aren't afraid."

"If we take action, we might be sniped or even directly killed."

"Even if it doesn't go that far, we might be stopped and not gain any benefits."

"The final outcome of this battle is still uncertain, but at least in my opinion, it's a fifty-fifty chance. Even if we help Han Feng, she might not win."

"On the contrary, we might be taking a pointless risk. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. You can do as you please."

"Hehe, you're hiding a crucial point. Han Feng's handsome reward is nothing more than pills. She's a Grand Daoist Alchemist, that's true, but how young is Xiao Ling'er?"

In the realm of alchemy, a master alchemist, perhaps even approaching the Grand Master level, was present. The mystery of the Alchemy Emperor's identity remained, but none were fools.

"Furthermore, although we don't know the specifics, I believe we can all form our own conclusions. That Alchemy Emperor, whether real or fake..."

"On one side, there's the Alchemy Emperor and Xiao Ling'er..."

"On the other, there's only Han Feng."

"Who will you help...or rather, who won't you help?"

"I'm more inclined to trust the character of the Alchemy Emperor."

With these words, many narrowed their eyes, their gazes flickering.

Indeed, it made perfect sense.

"Not only that!"

Someone else added, "Do you remember why the Alchemy Emperor and the others intervened? What flag did they wave?"

"Of course. Han Feng, who betrayed her master and ancestors, disloyal, unfilial, and unjust...Hmm?"

The speaker suddenly realized the implication.

Holy shit!

That's right!

Damn it, although there's no evidence, analyzing the current situation, it's highly likely that Han Feng betrayed her master. The Alchemy Emperor, after thousands of years of seclusion, 'revived' and returned to settle scores.

In other words, Han Feng had the audacity to even target her own master.

Help her?

She'd probably turn on them!

Thinking this far...

Many were tempted.

Even an Eighth Realm, Ninth Stage powerhouse stepped forward, "Alchemy Emperor, we've met once before. Han Feng sent me a sound transmission, asking me to deal with you, but I refuse to do so."

"Knowing you as I do, if you're taking action, there must be a reason! This is your personal matter, and I won't interfere, but I'd like to ask, do you..."

"Do you need my assistance?"

Han Feng: "(ΩДΩ)??...(へ╬)!"

You...

You motherfucker?! She almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Holy shit!

You're the helpers I left behind!

I kept you here for this very moment, to fight for me when it matters most!

And now you're telling me you're going to betray me?

No way!

Why can't I do what Lu Chen can?

Am I not more famous than Lu Chen?

Han Feng was furious.

She felt an unparalleled rage, especially...

Damn it!

She couldn't believe her luck.

Why was it always her?

Didn't I check the almanac?

And I didn't even leave the house! She was almost in tears.
