"Other forces naturally won't dare to mess with us again, but the relatives of these dead people might retaliate against us, we old people naturally have no fear, but the students are a different story, the best thing we can do is to get rid of them from the root."
"Old Hu, Old Wu, each of you take some Elders and divide your forces into two, then go and eradicate those people's forces." Su Qian reflected.
"Especially those forces near our Academy, spare none of them."
"Understood, but it will be quite hard work." Hu Gan shook his head with a bitter smile.
Of the twenty or so powerful people Han Feng had brought with him, excluding a few lone wolves, most of the others belonged to some force.
Counting them all, they would number around a dozen forces.
Although the main powerhouses of these forces were practically dead, it was still problematic to deal with them.
On the other hand, this move could also maximize the impact of the war to the maximum, so even if it was a hassle, it was still worth it.
While Hu Gan, Su Qian, and the others were discussing which force to start with first, Xiao Ming did not join in.
He took out the corpse that he had put into his storage ring for convenience when he had captured Han Feng's Body Soul earlier.
On Han Feng's right index finger was a storage ring with a faint blue glow.
Knowing that it was Han Feng's Serene Sea Storage Ring, Xiao Ming unceremoniously took it off.
Playing with the dark blue storage ring in his hand, Xiao Ming's soul power entered the ring, and in the next second, the storage ring sent his soul power back.
'Han Feng's spiritual imprint'.
The owner could put a spiritual imprint on the ring so that even if someone else was lucky and wanted to take the ring, he would have to erase the spiritual imprint first, and in that case, the owner of the ring would sense it, this kind of self-defense method was unique to high-grade rings.
In the past, because of this feature, Xiao Ming had thought of Han Feng's Serene Sea Storage Ring, but after obtaining the Star Ring from the Simulator, this idea disappeared.
Currently, Han Feng was basically dead from a certain point of view, so Xiao Ming naturally wasn't worried about being perceived by him.
Therefore, the second after he sensed the spiritual imprint, a fierce soul power instantly surged out that directly erased the spiritual imprint left by Han Feng in the most brutal manner, and then left his own spiritual imprint on it, meaning that this high-grade storage ring had officially changed its owner!
Satisfied, Xiao Ming put the dark blue ring on his finger, and with a flick of his mind, his soul power entered the ring unhindered.
The exploration only lasted for a few moments before Xiao Ming slowly withdrew his soul power from the ring.
At this moment, there was an inconceivable joy in his eyes. The things Han Feng had obtained in the Black-Corner Region over the years were countless, and in that ring were quite a few medicinal materials that were extremely rare in the outside world.
In addition, there were all sorts of Dou Techniques scrolls randomly placed, obviously, these were all things given by those who came to ask him to refine pills.
This time, when he killed Han Feng, not only did he get the most important Sea Heart Flame, but he also got all of Han Feng's wealth. The treasures stored in this high-grade dark blue ring were enough to drive any force in the Black-Corner Region crazy.
Even with Xiao Ming's mentality, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
What made him happy wasn't those Dou Techniques and Qi Methods, but the Alchemist Inheritance.
Although it was only a hasty glance and he hadn't finished reading the specific things.
But Xiao Ming calculated that aside from the gains Han Feng had made over the years, most of his fortune had to do with the things Yao Lao had left behind before he died.
After all, when Han Feng had killed his Master, his Master had taken the ring containing most of his savings, which is why the most precious things were not here.
However, among the things he had obtained from Yao Lao was the alchemy inheritance, and now that he had acquired it, it could make his future Alchemy path even smoother.
'The really important things, Han Feng shouldn't have them, it's better to go back and inspect more carefully what treasures are in this storage ring.' Right now, it was not a good time to examine it closely.
...
After the discussion, Hu Gan and the rest of the Outer Academy Elders, including Xiao Ming's Master, returned to the Outer Academy carrying one or two corpses each.
Xiao Ming handed Han Feng's corpse to Hu Gan before leaving on the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Su Qian, meanwhile, left the place along with the Inner Academy Elders.
This also marked that this time, the confrontation between the Jia Nan Academy and the Black-Corner Region ended with the complete victory of the Jia Nan Academy!
...
Although the battle was over, its aftermath was still felt.
In the following days, Hu Gan and Wu Tianlang, with several Elders, terrorized the entire Black-Corner Region, easily destroying a dozen forces, large and small.
This shocked the outlaws of the Black-Corner Region. Some of the uninformed people thought that the Jia Nan Academy had gone crazy, didn't the Jia Nan Academy fear retaliation from the leaders of these forces?
But after learning that the leaders of those forces were all hanging in the Death Spirit Tree, everyone felt incredulous.
Especially when they knew that eight of the ten strongest people in the Black Ranking of the Black-Corner Region were among them and that even Mister Gold and Mister Silver who could rival a Dou Ancestor were included.
This made them even more shocked and speechless.
Since then, the danger level of the Jia Nan Academy, which was already difficult to provoke, has been raised several levels by the people of the Black-Corner Region.
Of course, as the incident spread, Xiao Ming's reputation, as the person who took the most credit for single-handedly killing Mister Gold, Mister Silver, and Han Feng in this confrontation, began to rise extremely fast.
Due to his status as a sixth-tier Alchemist, some people even gave Xiao Ming the title of Medicine Emperor of the deceased Han Feng.
There were also those who called him "Emperor Ming", this was the common way to get nicknames in the Dou Qi Continent.
Of course, Xiao Ming naturally did not know this.
After returning to the Inner Academy, he first needed to seclude himself for a few days.
Firstly, he needed to heal his wounds, to completely eliminate the injuries caused by the secret technique. Secondly, he felt as if his Dou Qi cultivation had become a little more refined after this battle.
He had previously broken through the three-star Dou Emperor using the energy returned by the Spirit, which had devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame, to make the breakthrough, so it was inevitable that he would become a little unsteady when he broke through several levels at once.
In fact, compared to others, Xiao Ming's base was already very good, but Xiao Ming had always demanded a little more from himself.
That was why Xiao Ming decided to spend more time on this.
Thirdly, it was because of the Sea Heart Flame. He wasn't going to keep the Sea Heart Flame guarded all the time, so Xiao Ming took the opportunity to devour it.
This time, the process would be to first consolidate the cultivation, then devour the Heavenly Flame, and finally consolidate the cultivation again. This would take Xiao Ming quite some time.
...
After passing first at the Qi Method Hall of the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Ming rewarded the Amethyst Winged Lion King and then told it to go rest in its own courtyard. After a while, Xiao Ming arrived at his courtyard in the Elder Zone, then opened the door, and entered.
"Welcome home Young Mast- Ah! Young Master, you are injured!".
As he entered the courtyard room, he was greeted by the animated voice of Qing Lin, who, noticing the paleness of his body, was startled and immediately rushed to him.
Hearing Qing Lin's shout, Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly opened the door of her room and ran towards them with concern in her eyes.
Seeing the look on the two girls' faces, Xiao Ming stroked Qing Lin's little head before saying, "Nothing happened to me, this is a side effect of using a secret technique."
After saying this, he took out a scroll from his ring and handed it to Qing Lin, "I will be secluded for some time, this is a High Xuan Qi Method suitable for you to cultivate, you can use this Fire Crystal Card to enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, remember not to cultivate too long in there, or the flame poison will affect your body."
After a little time in the Qi Method Hall, he managed to find the Qi Method that was suitable for Qing Lin which was mentioned in the Simulator. Although he was not completely convinced by the level of the Qi Method, he had nothing better to offer her until he took her to the Sky Serpent Mansion.
Holding the scroll and the Fire Crystal Card in her hand, Qing Lin kept them in her storage ring, which had been given to her by Xiao Ming, and pounced on him, "Young Master, I promise you that I will cultivate very hard!".
"Mhm." Xiao Ming held her in his arms and turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian, who was looking at his slightly pale face with worry, "Xian'er, I also have something for you."
Hearing that her Young Master had pending matters with her big sister, Qing Lin sensibly stopped hugging Xiao Ming, and after telling him again that she would cultivate very hard, she went to her room to learn the Qi Method on the scroll.
As soon as Qing Lin closed the door of her room, Xiao Yi Xian immediately approached him and reached out her hand to touch his pale face, when suddenly, she stopped halfway
Recalling what happened a few days ago, Xiao Yi Xian was very embarrassed, being carried away by her emotions, she hugged Xiao Ming without having considered the toxins on her skin.
What if Xiao Ming wasn't so powerful? wouldn't she have killed him right there and then? After all, the toxins that were activated from the skin-to-skin touch of her body were something she could not yet control. And thinking that she was about to do the same, and with Xiao Ming injured, Xiao Yi Xian began to withdraw her hand, while reproaching herself for being so careless.
Suddenly, she saw a hand larger than hers gently grabbing her wrist, causing her to no longer be able to withdraw it, instead, that hand extended her hand even further until it reached Xiao Ming's face.
"X-Xiao Ming, the toxins..." Feeling the warmth of Xiao Ming's hand, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes became erratic and her breathing became faster. However, feeling the coldness on Xiao Ming's face, she forced herself to utter a few words of warning, while looking at him with concern.
"It's okay, Xian'er, your toxins won't hurt me." As he felt the toxins from Xiao Yi Xian's palm entering his body, his Dou Qi circulated slightly to eradicate the poison in it.
Seeing that Xiao Ming was fine, Xiao Yi Xian sighed with relief inside, then nodded with a blushing face, gently stroking his cheeks with a caring look.
After proving that he was fine, Xiao Ming explained to her what happened in the battle. After this, he gave her a ring filled with poison pills that should last her as long as he was in seclusion, and finally, he instructed her some more on how she should practice her poison control while he was away.
Before entering the room, he did not forget to ask her to tell Zi Yan what had happened in the war when she returned.
After seeing Xiao Yi Xian nod, Xiao Ming said goodbye to her and headed to his room. Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian stared at Xiao Ming's back until he closed the door to his room, her eyes were full of undisguised affection.
A moment later, she lifted her hand to see the ring filled with poison pills on it, and then, remembering Xiao Ming's somewhat pale face, her beautiful green eyes slowly became extremely cold. Her legs moved forward as she quickly walked to her room.
...
.....
....
Creak!
A door opened, and Xiao Ming, who had been in seclusion for a long time, pushed the door to his room and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of his room, he was welcomed by the dazzling sunlight, followed by two female figures.
"Other forces naturally won't dare to mess with us again, but the relatives of these dead people might retaliate against us, we old people naturally have no fear, but the students are a different story, the best thing we can do is to get rid of them from the root."
