Chapter 249: The Conclusion! The Allure of Attacking the Heart and Long Ao Jiao's Charm (Part 1)
Upon receiving the news, Luo Ling's face was filled with disbelief.
"What?!"
"How could they be defeated so quickly?"
"That useless Han Feng!"
He couldn't quite believe it. The Xuanhuo Pill Tower, aside from the sacred lands, was the leading force in the northeastern domain in the art of alchemy.
Even if their primary focus was alchemy and fighting was secondary, how could they be so incompetent? How long had they been fighting?
From the time he received the news to when the news of Han Feng's defeat and the overwhelming defeat of the Pill Tower reached him, it was barely an hour.
They had only just begun to exchange blows, and neither side had gained the upper hand. Yet, you're telling me the battle is already over, and Han Feng has been defeated?
What the hell is going on?
Luo Ling wasn't one to talk much, but at this moment, he felt the urge to vent his frustration.
But the only person present was Hai Dongpo, and he was the enemy.
He couldn't very well vent to him.
The thought crossed his mind, and Luo Ling's face darkened.
Dark as the bottom of a pot, as black as charcoal! His mind was a mess.
The main reason for his confusion was that he couldn't understand why the Xuanhuo Pill Tower had been defeated so quickly. And why had Han Feng been defeated so swiftly? Weren't you a Grand Daoist Alchemist?
As a Grand Daoist Alchemist, shouldn't you be nearly invincible unless someone could defeat you instantly? Shouldn't you be like a cockroach that's hard to kill?
But you...?
Wait, could it be that a Ninth Realm expert intervened?
Luo Ling suddenly had a realization.
That must be it!
After all, Han Feng's strength was not bad. While not invincible below the Ninth Realm, he was at least a Half-step Ninth Realm, and he had cultivated several strands of Immortal Qi...
At this thought, Luo Ling immediately forced Hai Dongpo to retreat and contacted his subordinates: "It seems that the Moon Embrace Sect has mobilized a Ninth Realm expert to overpower and kill Han Feng!"
A sense of fear gripped his heart.
Against Hai Dongpo alone, he had no fear.
But if the Moon Embrace Sect could mobilize another Ninth Realm expert, or even more, he would have to be cautious.
His subordinate responded almost immediately: "Not exactly, Deputy Pavilion Master. It was Xiao Ling'er who lent her Unusual Flame to the Alchemy Emperor. The Alchemy Emperor, empowered by her flame, fought mercilessly, overpowering and killing Han Feng, eradicating both his physical body and divine soul."
"At this moment, she has freed her hands."
"Upon witnessing this, many Pill Tower disciples have ceased fighting, fearing to engage further. We, seeing the situation as hopeless, are also retreating, and currently being pursued by Moon Embrace Sect disciples..."
Luo Ling: "???"
Damn it! After hearing his subordinate's report, Luo Ling's feelings were mixed at this moment.
He was both surprised and delighted.
He was surprised that the Alchemy Emperor, empowered by seven Unusual Flames, had defeated Han Feng.
How did seven Unusual Flames come into play?
Moreover, the resurrected Alchemy Emperor was so fierce!
He was delighted that there was no second Ninth Realm expert.
Thankfully, thankfully.
But...
"!"
The joy vanished instantly, and Luo Ling's heart sank: "Useless, all of you are useless!"
"Han Feng is useless, and the Pill Tower is the most useless of them all! The plan has changed. You no longer need to assist the Pill Tower; retreat immediately to ensure your own safety!"
"Yes, Deputy Pavilion Master."
"But..."
"What is it? Speak!"
"It's just that when we first arrived, we were caught off guard by the Moon Embrace Sect disciples using the Invincible Technique to ambush us. Chen Guardian and Cao Guardian have already fallen..."
Luo Ling: "???"
Damn it!
Fuck! Not only did they gain no benefits, but two of his most loyal Golden Guardians had perished.
What a mess!
"I, the Deputy Pavilion Master, will make them pay for this!"
"You all retreat first, and under no circumstances should there be further casualties."
Luo Ling's heart was filled with anger, and he also felt bitter.
While the Hidden Soul Palace was formidable, it was not a unified whole, especially when it came to the three Deputy Pavilion Masters.
Because...
The Pavilion Master was not far from taking that final step, perhaps just a thousand years away. Once that step was taken, whether successful or not, the next Pavilion Master would emerge from among the three Deputy Pavilion Masters.
Therefore, the three Deputy Pavilion Masters naturally began to distance themselves and constantly 'fight' among themselves.
Luo Ling had also paid a significant price for this.
His agreement to join forces to annihilate the Moon Embrace Sect was also to take advantage of this opportunity to earn some credit and benefits. Whether it was the credit for annihilating the Moon Embrace Sect, the Unusual Flames, or the pills... or even capturing Xiao Ling'er and forcing her to manufacture pills, it would all be a great credit and benefit.
Even if they only maintained a good relationship with the Pill Tower and had Han Feng continuously refine pills for him, it would still be a great benefit.
But he never expected the outcome to be like this...
They gained no benefits, and two people died.
These were all his elite subordinates. If he lost more, his plans within the Hidden Soul Palace would be affected..."
At this moment, Luo Ling truly wanted to erupt and annihilate the Moon Embrace Sect.
But looking at Hai Dongpo, who had also received the news and was smilingly staring at him, Luo Ling held back.
He wanted to take action.
But judging from the current situation, it seemed that he and his subordinates alone might not be able to defeat the Moon Embrace Sect!
What about joining forces with the other Deputy Pavilion Masters?
That was a joke; they would never agree.
In fact, they were probably waiting for him to make a fool of himself. How could they let him have his way?
This was troublesome! Luo Ling cursed inwardly.
They gained no credit, lost two people, and even revenge seemed difficult, at least not in the short term. He couldn't take any more risks; otherwise, it would be easy to run into big trouble.
But...
Such a big loss, could he just swallow it?
This was too damn unbearable!
"Hehe."
It was at this moment that Hai Dongpo hehe'd: "Deputy Pavilion Master Luo."
"It seems the outcome has been decided."
"Should we continue fighting on our side?"
"Hmph!"
Luo Ling let out a cold huff, ultimately choosing to remain silent and storm off with a flick of his sleeve.
He didn't want to hold back, but continuing the fight would indeed be pointless.
Not to mention, even if he managed to kill Hai Dong Po within a year or so, by the time he reached the Southwest Domain, it would be too late.
He had no choice but to swallow this silent loss...
How infuriating!
And what came next made Luo Ling even angrier.
Hai Dong Po didn't trust him, constantly hovering nearby, neither too close nor too far, until Luo Ling left the Northeast Domain...
"..."
Luo Ling didn't say another word, but before leaving, he turned to look at Hai Dong Po with an exceptionally profound gaze.
"..."
"Don't you dare make a move!"
"They are all this girl's prey."
"After being in seclusion for so long, this girl is about to rust. These few wastes are just what I need to stretch my bones and show the world my strength!"
High above the Inferno Pill Tower.
Long Aojiao exuded unparalleled dominance, waving her hand and directly rejecting the idea of help from Xiao Ling'er, Yao La, and others. The more they fought, the fiercer they became, driving their opponents into a steady retreat.
Upon hearing this, her opponents couldn't help but feel infuriated.
We've lived for so many years, built such a formidable reputation, and this is the first time someone has called us wastes! This made them exceptionally annoyed.
Are we really wastes?
Blind your dog eyes!
Each of us is a peak master of the Eighth Realm, and although the Ninth Realm is still far off, we're considered 'ferocious' at this stage.
Moreover, who among us hasn't had a genius reputation in our youth? Yet, after a single exchange with you, we're all wastes?
This is utterly unreasonable!
They wanted to refute, but as the words reached their mouths, they hesitated.
If an outsider dared to speak like this... or even if Han Feng herself had insulted them, they would have exploded in anger. Even if they didn't fight, they would have argued and gotten angry.
It would take Han Feng personally coming to appease them for them to calm down.
But at this moment, facing Long Aojiao, facing her disdain and the word 'waste,' they struggled for a long time, but not a single word of protest could escape their mouths.
Long Aojiao was too strong!
From the beginning, fighting six alone, to now...
Fighting four alone!
It wasn't that Long Aojiao couldn't handle it, leading to two opponents being 'taken away' by others.
But this freak was single-handedly fighting six and had already killed two!
She had reduced her opponents to just four.
And it wasn't that she could only fight four.
Moreover, the remaining four were all in a precarious situation.
Death... seemed not far off.
This was just absurd!
After being a genius for most of her life, as she aged and neared death, she was now labeled a waste.
"What should we do now?"
Their minds were in turmoil at this moment.
They exchanged glances, their divine senses colliding and communicating, strategizing.
"What should we do?"
One of them chuckled, "The situation is hopeless. Do we still have a way out?"
"It's not hopeless!" someone refuted.
The other three were delighted, thinking he had some backup plan.
Just as they were about to ask, he continued, "It's already over. We're as good as dead."
The three: "!"
You might as well not have said anything!
This was infuriating.
"I do have an idea," the third person transmitted, "In the end, we do have some connection with Liang Danxia. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed us to co-found the Pill Tower."
"Now that the instigator, Han Feng, is dead, should we...?"
"It's not that there's still hope!" someone rebutted.
The other three were overjoyed, thinking he had some secret plan.
Just as they were about to inquire, he spoke again, "It's already over. We're definitely going to die."
"What do you mean it's over? We still have a chance!"
"Hmph."
The three of them excitedly discussed, as if they had found a way out.
But the elder who had previously said they were doomed just coldly laughed and shook her head.
At this moment, she didn't even bother to pour cold water on their hopes.
She just wanted to persist a little longer, to live a few more moments.
As for fighting back, killing them...
Forget it.
If they could turn the tables with one move, they wouldn't be in this situation.
They wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
Subsequently, he coldly observed.
Watching the three of them pleading with Yao La for mercy, repeatedly mentioning their past connections and hoping to soften her heart with their history.
But Yao La sighed, "Among you, is there anyone who dares to make a vow, swearing that in these years, you haven't done anything to harm the heavens and reason?"
"Or is there anyone who dares to promise that they haven't done anything to wrong the Pill Tower or me?"
Upon hearing this, the hope in their eyes instantly shattered.
"If we knew it would come to this, why did we do it in the first place?"
Yao La spoke again, then fell silent.
Long Aojiao glanced at her with a sidelong look and then laughed.
"Pfft."
"At this moment, even if she doesn't intervene, what difference would it make if she spares you? Do you really think she can't handle me?"
"Nonsense!"
"Die!"
Long Aojiao remained domineering and foul-mouthed.
She was incredibly arrogant, unable to tolerate even a slight grievance or loss of face.
As her words fell, she unleashed a barrage of lethal attacks, her Divine Fist of the Tyrant God mercilessly driving her opponents into dire straits, howling in agony.
"Long Aojiao!!!"
"You've gone too far!"
"We'll fight you to the death!"
"Kill!"
They knew they were no match for her.
But...
They had to fight, even if it was just for a moment.
They couldn't just surrender and accept their fate.
"You have some self-awareness, but not enough.
"
Black Aojiao's taunts grew more scathing, and her attacks became increasingly vicious and frequent. Within half an incense stick's worth of time, she had slain all four of them, leaving none alive.
"Hmph!"
Clap, clap, clap.
She clapped her hands and stretched lazily, "Knowing defeat and begging for mercy shows some self-awareness."
"But failing to beg for mercy, you still dare to fight me..."
"How laughable."
"This matter is settled."
Black Aojiao turned to Xiao Ling'er, revealing a rare genuine smile.
After all...
She was the one I had my eye on, the woman I chose as my Dao Companion. I can't let our relationship become too strained.
Moreover, I find the Flame Emperor quite charming.
"Ling'er."
"Do you have other matters to attend to?"
"For other matters, I may not be of much help, but when it comes to fighting and killing, I'm more than capable."
Clap, clap.
She patted her own chest, only to realize something was amiss...
Damn it, I'm in a woman's body now!
Everyone else was left dumbfounded.
Hey, what are you doing?
If you want to talk, just talk. Why are you patting your chest?
If you were a rough and tough old man, it would be fine, but you're a woman! And you're not small, patting like that, causing a ripple effect...
Are you giving a special treat? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
When have you seen a woman talking and suddenly clapping her chest, causing a ripple effect, and then continuing to talk?
What kind of weird feeling is this?
Lin Fan was also bewildered, and his mouth twitched.
He could guess that Black Aojiao was probably overexcited after single-handedly defeating six opponents, causing this 'little mistake'.
But...
It was still a bit exaggerated.
However, you have to admit, this special treat was quite nice.
If...
This guy wasn't 'Wang Gang'! Well, strictly speaking, Black Aojiao couldn't be considered Wang Gang either.
But in the end, she was still a male-to-female.
What a sin, what a sin! How could I think that she was giving a special treat?
"Cough, for now..."
"For now, nothing. Black Aojiao, you should rest first."
Xiao Ling'er was also speechless!
Although she knew that Black Aojiao was the transformed Black Aojiao, this scene... Anyone would be stunned.
She quickly 'comforted' her, then turned around and looked at Yao Laoshi, "Teacher, what should we do with these people?"
The great battle had finally come to an end.
Ya Ya, Wang Teng, Qin Yu, Xu Fenglai, and the others had also returned.
They wanted to beat these dogs and kill every last one of the Hidden Soul Temple's people here.
Unfortunately, these were the Golden Guardians of the Hidden Soul Temple, truly formidable, and with their vast numbers, their treasures and special abilities were also extremely rich.
If they wanted to escape, it would be difficult to chase after them.
In the end, only Ya Ya seized the opportunity and used the Ghost Face Mask to kill one of them.
The others managed to escape.
They couldn't chase after them, so they returned.
As for the other Flame Pill Tower Elders and Core Disciples who were loyal to Han Feng, excluding those who were die-hard loyalists and would rather die than surrender...
They had already knelt down in great numbers.
The Inner and Outer Gate Disciples knelt in even greater numbers.
Moreover, they all knelt with unwavering stability.
Ordinary Disciples were initially gathered to assist using formation power, but after Lin Fan's 'cannon', they were urgently called off and returned to their residences to hide and await news.
They had waited until the news of Han Feng's death...
But the news they received was not good.
And at their level, even if they wanted to die for Han Feng, they didn't have the qualifications.
Therefore, they couldn't find many die-hard loyalists willing to follow Han Feng.
At this moment, most of them knelt in great numbers, not daring to move an inch.
Those with profound cultivation could sweep their Divine Senses, and they would find that within the Inferno Pill Tower, there were people kneeling everywhere.
...
As Xiao Ling'er asked, everyone turned to look at Yao Laoshi.
Among them, the gazes of Qian Wu, Qin Fengxian, and Gu Santong were the hottest, and their expressions were the most dazed and filled with emotion.
"It's really... done?"
Qin Fengxian murmured.
At this moment, all three of them were severely injured.
Even with the Heaven Mending Pill, they couldn't recover within a short time, but they didn't rush to heal themselves. Instead, they were filled with excitement, waiting for Yao Laoshi's 'orders'.
"I didn't expect it either."
Gu Santong smiled bitterly, "This is a good thing, but don't laugh at us."
"Until the moment the Flame Emperor killed Han Feng, I thought... our chances of victory were less than one in ten."
"I had already prepared for death."
Qian Wu laughed strangely, "You speak as if you weren't prepared for death either. Am I not the same?"
"But I'm different from you."
"I always believed that the Flame Emperor... would win!"
"We may die, but she won't. She will succeed, simply because she is the Flame Emperor!"
"It's like a dream, returning to the days of the Flame Emperor. Back then, whatever she wanted to do, she could accomplish."
"One thought blossoms, and she reigns over the world."
The three of them were still in awe.
But Yao Laoshi couldn't help but laugh and cry, "You guys, don't flatter me like that."
"If you keep flattering me, won't I become omnipotent?"
"But if I were truly omnipotent, would I have been caught off guard and killed by Han Feng's sneak attack, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul to struggle on?"
Yao Laoshi's voice wasn't loud, but she didn't hide her true feelings.
Therefore, almost everyone heard and sensed her words.
Those who didn't understand the events of the past and didn't know what Han Feng had done were shocked.
Then, they realized that Yao Laoshi was doing this on purpose.
She wanted to tell everyone what Han Feng had done in the past and why she had raised the butcher's knife against her own disciple, leading to their life-and-death struggle.
Yao Laoshi, amidst the trio's bewilderment, spoke loudly, "Now that I've returned and killed the errant disciple Han Feng, it's time to reorganize the Pill Tower and set it back on the right path.
