Chapter 174: Killing the Golden Silver Elders Han Feng, You Are My Second Slave
The Golden Silver Elders were powerful enough to contend with a Dou Zong, but there was still a significant gap between them and a true Dou Zong.
How dared they make a move against this being?
No one could understand their reasoning, but the Golden Silver Elders had their own plans.
At the exact moment they attacked, it seemed like their strikes were directed at Wu Tian but in reality, they were aiming at the ground beneath him.
"BOOM !"
A powerful explosion erupted, sending up a massive cloud of dust and debris.
The Golden Silver Elders seized the opportunity. Their figures blurred, dashing straight toward Han Feng.
Their speed was astonishing so fast that no one even realized their true target.
Each elder grabbed one of Han Feng's arms, and in an instant, they soared into the sky, their wings propelling them forward at terrifying speed.
Like two streaks of light, they vanished in seconds.
Silence.
The entire hall was frozen in shock.
Everything had happened so suddenly before anyone could even react, it was already over.
All eyes remained fixed on the thick dust cloud, waiting for the scene to clear.
But when it did
Wu Tian was gone.
Not a trace of his presence remained.
There was no fluctuation of Dou Qi, no ripple in the air nothing.
How?
Just as confusion spread across the crowd, they suddenly felt something approaching their location at high speed.
Their expressions changed drastically.
Looking upward, their eyes widened in horror.
Two figures plummeted from the sky
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
Two violent crashes shook the earth.
And high above, two figures stood in midair.
One was Wu Tian, floating calmly in the void.
The other?
Han Feng.
On the ground, as the dust settled, everyone finally saw the two fallen figures.
The Golden Silver Elders.
Their bodies were engulfed in a chilling white flame.
Then, before their very eyes, the two disintegrated into nothingness.
Only the ashen white flames remained, still flickering on the ground.
Dead?
Just like that?
Two peak level Dou Huangs completely annihilated in an instant?
That was two Dou Huangs!
And yet… they were erased so effortlessly.
The entire hall fell into deathly silence.
The blood drained from the faces of every kneeling powerhouse.
Those from Blood Sect, including Fan Lao, were trembling uncontrollably.
Fan Lao, whose constitution was inherently weak against Heavenly Flames, had long since collapsed to the ground in terror.
"W We submit! We greet the Guardian Elder!"
One after another, the powerhouses of Black Corner Region lowered their heads and swore allegiance.
Wu Tian descended to the ground, his gaze falling upon Han Feng.
"Han Feng," he said, his tone casual, "Black Corner Region is yours now. Here take this Earth Core Lotus Seed from the Green Lotus Core Flame. It should help you reach the peak of Dou Huang."
Wu Tian casually tossed a small, glowing seed into Han Feng's hand.
Han Feng, still in a state of shock, stared at the seed, utterly confused.
Was Wu Tian… really just handing this over to him?
But in the next moment
Han Feng's expression changed drastically.
A cold voice echoed in his mind.
"From this moment onward, you are my second slave. Be obedient, understood?"
Han Feng: …
"Yes," he answered instinctively.
At that moment, Han Feng felt an unbreakable bond form between him and Wu Tian.
His eyes filled with disbelief he had become a servant without even realizing it.
Lowering his head, he bowed deeply.
Wu Tian smirked.
His first slave, Hai Bodong, was still just a Dou Ling. The system probably considered him "too weak" to even be acknowledged.
Perhaps once Hai Bodong reached Dou Huang, their connection would properly activate.
But by then…
Would Hai Bodong even be necessary?
With Han Feng as his servant, Wu Tian now had control over a Nine Star Dou Huang.
Hai Bodong would never catch up.
Perhaps it was time to give his first slave a little warning.
Wu Tian turned to the gathered powerhouses.
"From this day forward, there is only one faction in Black Corner Region Cailin Pavilion."
"It is an official subsidiary of the Snake Tribe."
"Han Feng, you will oversee it."
"If Soul Hall approaches you, stall for time."
Han Feng bowed respectfully.
"Understood!"
Now that Han Feng and Wu Tian were bound, Wu Tian would be immediately alerted if Soul Hall ever made a move.
With Lü Man in Snake Tribe and Han Feng in Black Corner Region, everything was under his control.
Wu Tian's gaze landed on Qing'er.
"Qing'er, take your subordinates and travel to the Jia Ma Empire."
"Find Hai Bodong and return to the Snake Tribe with him and the Xiao Clan of Wutan City."
Qing'er lowered her head.
"As you command, Master."
Just then, Wu Tian's expression shifted slightly.
He turned toward a collapsed building, his smirk growing playful.
"Aren't you going to show yourself, old friend?"
"Looking a little worn out, aren't you?"
"You can go back and report to your Young Miss."
"I will arrive at Jia Nan Academy soon enough."
The shadows stirred.
A figure emerged
Ling Ying.
Xun'er's old protector.
Originally, he had come to enjoy himself in Black Corner Region.
But before he could even begin, he sensed numerous Dou Huang auras converging.
Naturally, he hid but the moment he sensed that familiar presence, he couldn't leave.
And yet…
No one had detected him.
No one.
Except Wu Tian.
Ling Ying sighed.
Every time.
Every damn time.
How did Wu Tian always know he was there?!
Reluctantly, he nodded and vanished.
His mood? Utterly ruined.
He had paid for entertainment and didn't even get to enjoy it!
Worst day ever.
With a single step, Wu Tian disappeared from the scene.
The remaining powerhouses exchanged glances, seeing only bitter helplessness in each other's eyes.
Enemies?
They had become allies in the blink of an eye.
Who could have predicted such a drastic shift?
And Han Feng?
Han Feng looked the most miserable of them all.
Just yesterday, he had been the ruler of Black Corner Region.
Today?
Still the ruler but under someone else.
And his Sea Heart Flame?
Gone.
Just like that.
Gone.
His beloved Heavenly Flame, ranked 15th, had been snatched away.
What a horrible turn of events.
But…
At least he had Fen Jue.
It was a good trade, right?
Right?
…
Han Feng prayed.
That Wu Tian wouldn't need another flame too soon.
Otherwise…
He'd become nothing more than a walking furnace.
"Han Feng," Wu Tian's voice rang out once more.
"Make sure you gather information on more Heavenly Flames for me."
Han Feng: …
Damn it.
(Meanwhile, at Jia Nan Academy…)
Su Qian stood atop the Inner Academy's Blazing Tower, gazing at the roaring flames below.
"Gather all elders."
"Seal the tower."
"A Dou Zong's presence was detected… coming from Black Corner Region."
"Who could it be?"
"It's not the Golden Silver Elders. It's not Han Feng. Could someone be… unifying Black Corner Region?"
Su Qian frowned.
"Would a Dou Zong really bother with that wasteland?"
"Not like I care."
