Chapter 171: The Mighty "Black Alliance" Wu Tian Chokes on a Sweet Peach
"Hahaha~ Han Feng, I never expected your ambition to be this vast!"
As soon as Han Feng's voice faded, two bursts of laughter echoed through the hall. The space trembled slightly, and then, like phantoms, two figures one clad in gold, the other in silver appeared.
At the sight of these two, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. Their faces paled, and a collective gasp filled the room.
"Hiss~ The Golden Silver Elders!"
The two figures stood eerily still. One wore golden robes, the other silver, but their faces were identical.
Wu Tian glanced at them and smirked.
'Finally, they're all here. Heh heh~'
"Even you two are joining the Black Alliance?" Ban Lao asked in shock.
If these two joined, then there was no point in resisting. Their combined strength could rival a Dou Zong, making any resistance futile. The rest of the Dou Huangs were as good as cannon fodder.
"Heh heh~ Old Ban, we haven't joined the Black Alliance. Han Feng simply paid us enough to be here. We took the job, that's all."
"But now… we've changed our minds. Han Feng, we won't be taking action."
"Black Corner Region's balance can't be dictated by a single force. Your ambitions are too big."
The Golden Silver Elders chuckled.
Ban Lao knew them well as long as Black Corner Region remained chaotic, they wouldn't care who fought whom.
They only cared about increasing their strength. And since their power surpassed everyone else's, they didn't need to pick sides.
But if the region fell under one rule, it would become a threat to them.
So, they made their stance clear they wouldn't get involved.
Their declaration caused Ban Lao's faction to sigh in relief.
If the Golden Silver Elders had sided with Han Feng, then today's battle would have been hopeless.
Even so, the pressure was still immense…
Meanwhile, Elder Qing of Heavenly Serpent Mansion frowned deeply.
Her eyes flickered between Han Feng and Su Mei, whose appearance was quite similar to her own.
After a moment of hesitation, she led her faction to join Ban Lao's side.
She had no choice.
If she chose the Black Alliance, it would be the same as publicly declaring her defection. She was part of Heavenly Serpent Mansion how could she align with an outside force?
Her decision boosted Ban Lao's confidence.
Even if the Golden Silver Elders were unpredictable, they knew those two wouldn't interfere.
Han Feng's expression darkened.
He had paid a hefty price to get the Golden Silver Elders on his side, yet they betrayed him?
This was Black Corner Region, after all where so called allies could become enemies in an instant.
Still, he remained composed.
His cold smirk returned.
"Golden Silver Elders, wouldn't you like to break through to Dou Zong?"
"What?!"
The two elders' eyes widened in shock.
"You… have a way to help us reach Dou Zong?"
Their voices trembled with excitement.
The other Black Rank powerhouses felt their hearts sink.
They knew this was bad news.
The Golden Silver Elders had already reached the peak of Dou Huang. Their greatest desire was to become Dou Zong.
Now that Han Feng dangled this opportunity before them, there was no way they would refuse.
Even if Han Feng was lying, they wouldn't risk missing the chance.
And Han Feng wasn't stupid if he was lying, the elders would kill him instantly.
Han Feng's smile deepened.
"Surely, you've heard of the sixth tier pill, Po Zong Dan?"
"Po Zong Dan?! You… you have one?!"
The Golden Silver Elders rushed forward, their excitement barely contained.
Han Feng shook his head and spoke slowly:
"I don't have the pill. But I have the formula. And I am a sixth tier alchemist."
"Hahahaha~ Excellent! Excellent!"
The elders burst into laughter, then suddenly bowed deeply.
"Golden Silver Elders pay respects to the Alliance Leader!"
BOOM!
The entire hall seemed to explode with shock.
A force capable of rivaling a Dou Zong had just joined the Black Alliance.
With this, Han Feng's dominance over Black Corner Region was inevitable.
"Now… have the rest of you made up your minds?"
Han Feng casually grabbed another peach, his voice filled with amusement.
Ban Lao hesitated.
Then, without even looking at his comrades, he stepped forward and knelt.
"Ban Lao pays respects to the Alliance Leader."
"…"
The remaining powerhouses Yin Bone Elder, Tie Wu, Su Mei, and Elder Qing were stunned.
'That coward?!'
Ban Lao had immediately switched sides after seeing the Golden Silver Elders defect.
The four remaining leaders exchanged helpless glances.
How could they possibly resist the Black Alliance now?
But joining it was not an option.
They had spent years building their own factions why would they hand it all over to Han Feng?
Han Feng's smirk deepened.
"I've given you a chance…"
"Since you refuse to take it don't blame me."
"From this day forward, Black Corner Region belongs to me."
"Take them "
"Cough! Cough!"
Suddenly, Han Feng was interrupted by an unexpected choking sound.
His expression turned black.
"Ugh this peach is so sweet… It's choking me! Ugh disgusting!"
"…"
Everyone, including Han Feng, turned to look.
They all stared at Wu Tian, who was casually eating peaches, utterly unaffected by the intense power struggle.
He sat comfortably, picking at his fruit, while the greatest powerhouses of Black Corner Region engaged in a battle of dominance.
Even under the suffocating pressure of the Black Rank powerhouses, he remained calm.
Not a single drop of sweat on his face.
Han Feng's eyelid twitched.
Wu Tian suddenly noticed the silence and saw everyone staring at him.
He waved dismissively.
"Don't mind me, don't mind me!"
"Keep going. If you want the peach, just say so I've got more in my storage ring!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a pile of fresh fruit, setting them neatly on a small table.
Then, he continued eating, completely unfazed.
But…
The entire room remained fixated on him.
To sit so casually under such overwhelming pressure…
To bid on the ancient map despite all these powerhouses…
This young man was not ordinary.
Wu Tian sighed dramatically, throwing a cherry into his mouth.
"Well, at least you're not complete idiots."
Then, with a playful smirk, he leaned back and said:
"Since all ten of you Black Rank powerhouses are here…"
"Let me make an official announcement "
"From this day forward, Black Corner Region belongs to me."
