In the plaza, there was not a single empty seat. Those who could sit here were mostly powers and strong individuals with considerable fame in the Black Corner Region. In this place where strength was paramount, even seating arrangements were based on strength. On either side of Han Feng, one could clearly see none other than Mo Tianxing from the Black Emperor Sect and the old man from Eagle Mountain, who had once competed with Xiao Yan for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. At this moment, both of them half-closed their eyes, ignoring the people around them, adopting a deep and inscrutable appearance that made commoners hesitant to initiate conversation. Given their strength, no one dared to voice any objections to their sitting at the head table. Apart from the old Devil Ghost Earth, who had been exterminated, these two old fellows were probably the strongest in the Black Corner Region. Of course, the land of the Black Corner Region was vast, and it was unknown whether there were still some old monsters hidden in deep mountains who never saw the light of day. After all, some true powerhouses in this world enjoyed doing such things. Below Mo Tianxing and the old man from Eagle Mountain were the leaders of some famous forces in the Black Corner Region. Some of them had good relations with Han Feng, while others remained neutral. But due to Han Feng’s influence and strength, they had no choice but to attend this so-called grand gathering…
Beside Han Feng at the main table, aside from some powerhouses from the Burning Flame Valley, there were also some familiar faces. The so-called Gold and Silver Elders were the most representative. These two old fellows had some entanglements with Xiao Yan because of Han Feng. Upon hearing Han Feng’s invitation, they naturally gladly joined the Burning Flame Valley. They knew Han Feng well; although he was ruthless, his alchemy skills were indeed superb. Following him was a gain, plus Han Feng was now a Battle Sect powerhouse, far surpassing them. So, these two old men didn’t resist being under his command, and instead felt a bit proud that they had found a formidable backer.
“Ah, I have gathered everyone here, and if anyone has been delayed, I hope you will all forgive me,” Han Feng said after engaging in some friendly conversation with the familiar faces, looking up at the sky, then scanning the crowd, speaking lightly with a smile.
As Han Feng spoke, the slightly noisy square instantly fell silent, and all eyes turned toward today’s protagonist, Han Feng. With such attention, Han Feng seemed to enjoy it, a smile on his face. After a moment, he began, “I have invited everyone here to discuss certain matters. As you all know, the Black Corner Region has always been at odds with the Canaan Academy. Every year, many from the Black Corner Region are killed by the Academy’s law enforcement team, leading to a deep-seated enmity on both sides.”
“Regarding the recent incident, you should have heard about it: the elder Devil Ghost Earth of the Burning Flame Valley was killed by the Canaan Academy.” When Han Feng mentioned this, his expression grew sullen, and some of the Burning Flame Valley’s powerhouses showed anger and indignation. Currently, the Burning Flame Valley and the Canaan Academy were almost blood enemies, each wanting to eliminate the other.
The crowd in the square glanced at each other, their expressions changing. They had indeed heard this news, but hearing it from Han Feng still came as a shock. The old devil, a super powerhouse at the 7th star Battle Sect level, was hard to find a match in the entire Black Corner Region. Yet, he had fallen to the Canaan Academy…
Even the ever-indifferent Mo Tianxing and the old man from Eagle Mountain could not help but tremble slightly in their sleeves, fear flashing in their eyes. Their intelligence was more precise than ordinary forces, so they knew what truly happened that day…
“I didn’t expect the two old monsters, Qian Bai, to be hiding in the Inner Academy. The old Devil Earth was like hitting a gun muzzle, but according to the reports, the old guy was first severely injured by a terrifying fighting technique used by Xiao Yan. Otherwise, with his strength, even if he couldn’t defeat the two old monsters, escaping would have been no problem… It seems that young man is deeply hidden…”
Mo Tianxing rubbed his hand over the warm teacup, muttering to himself. “If it weren’t for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, I wouldn’t have targeted that young man… That guy is clearly a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
The old man from Eagle Mountain also frowned slightly, sighing softly, barely audible. “The Canaan Academy’s strength far exceeds our understanding, and they have always disliked the Black Corner Region. Now that the Burning Flame Valley has suffered severe damage, if they target any of the forces here, no one will be able to stop them. Moreover, the so-called ‘Xiao Gate’ founded by Xiao Yan, an Inner Academy member, is clearly affiliated with the Canaan Academy. With the Canaan Academy’s support, Xiao Gate has expanded rapidly. If it weren’t for the Burning Flame Valley’s resistance, the hands of Xiao Gate would be reaching out to us now…”
Han Feng’s solemn voice echoed across the square, “Now that the Burning Flame Valley is heavily damaged, we can no longer match Xiao Gate. Once the Burning Flame Valley’s restraint is removed, Xiao Gate will surely expand rapidly, and those affected will be all of you here.”
Han Feng smiled faintly, saying, “Of course, if anyone believes their sect has a stronger expert than the old Devil Earth, or someone who can match the two old monsters in the Inner Academy, they don’t need to worry. Otherwise, submitting to Xiao Gate or facing obliteration is the only choice!”
Han Feng’s almost threatening words caused some commotion in the square. Xiao Gate was a force that had risen in recent years, and most old forces were not convinced. Making them submit was quite difficult.
“Does Han Feng have any countermeasures?” someone asked amid the commotion.
Hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Han Feng. Since he had initiated this, there must be something more. Those who could make a name for themselves in the Black Corner Region were not fools and understood that Han Feng had summoned them to scare them.
Mo Tianxing and the old man from Eagle Mountain glanced at the figure and sneered. This performance by Han Feng was indeed challenging.
Seeing the gaze once again focused on him, Han Feng smiled, first giving a subtly approving glance to the figure and then straightening his clothes. “With the strength of the Canaan Academy and Xiao Gate, I doubt any single force in the Black Corner Region can resist. To protect ourselves, we must abandon our differences, form an alliance, and fight together!”
“An alliance?” Hearing this word, most present understood Han Feng’s plan. Everyone knew the enmity between the Burning Flame Valley and the Canaan Academy and Xiao Gate. If the enemy attacked now, the weakened Burning Flame Valley might be eradicated. But uniting the Burning Flame Valley with the many forces in the Black Corner Region would create a near-unified front, making the Canaan Academy and Xiao Gate less likely to take drastic actions.
“The alliance is supported by Chief Mo and the old man from Eagle Mountain, providing the best security for everyone. With Xiao Gate watching, no one is safe without an alliance,” Han Feng said, seeing the calmer square.
Everyone turned their gazes to Mo Tianxing and the old man from Eagle Mountain. These two, with their immense reputations and legitimate Battle Sect strength, made the alliance’s power formidable. Thus, there would be no need to fear the Canaan Academy and Xiao Gate.
“Of course, though I suggest the alliance, its success depends on everyone. The Black Corner Region is a chaotic place, and alliances are easily broken. And if we do form an alliance, the position of the leader is not easy to decide, as everyone wants it.”
“Hehe, the alliance is just my suggestion. If Xiao Gate comes, and you don’t want to die, you’d better surrender early,” Han Feng said, twirling his teacup and smiling.
These words caused the faces of many to change, and their brows to furrow. Xiao Gate’s rapid development was indeed a thorn in many hearts.
Snap! Snap! Amid the discussions, a sharp clapping sound rang out in the square, followed by a clear laugh.
“Chief Han, how timely! According to your logic, should you lead everyone to kneel and surrender now?” The unexpected laughter startled everyone, causing them to turn and look toward the entrance. There, a group of figures exuding a murderous aura slowly entered. At the forefront, a black-robed young man walked in with a smile on his face…
“Xiao Yan?!” Seeing the black-robed young man, everyone recognized the famous youth. Gasps of shock, filled with panic, resounded through the square. At this moment, Han Feng’s smile twisted into a hateful, sinister expression.
