”Xiao Yixian, you’re here.”

A week later, Lin Feng sat atop a cliff behind the Yun Lan Sect, smiling as he looked at the white-haired figure who had just appeared.

”Mm. I spent some time dealing with internal sect matters.”

Xiao Yixian cast a slightly unfriendly glance at the woman beside him—Medusa—before smiling faintly.

”Then let’s set out.”

Lin Feng’s gaze swept over Xiao Yixian, Medusa, Zi Yan, the two master-disciple pairs—Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo—as well as several other strong individuals he was bringing along to the Black-Corner Region.

Then, turning back to glance at Yun Yun’s closed-door cultivation chamber, he shook his shoulders. In an instant, dazzling glazed-colored wings unfurled from his back, and he shot off toward the direction of the Black-Corner Region.

Seeing him take action, the other dozen or so Dou Wang-level and above experts all summoned their wings and soared into the sky after him.

These people were all powerhouses who had submitted to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

But due to Lin Feng’s recently issued internal policy for the Pavilion—a rotation system among high-level experts—

It was mandated that all Dou Wang and above personnel serve at a different branch for ten years.

After that period ended, they would be rotated out and replaced by a new batch, repeating the cycle.

Therefore, the group currently departing would be stationed in the Black-Corner Region for a ten-year term.

As for the five Dou Huang who had previously broken through using Lin Feng’s secret method, he had arranged for them to stay and guard this location—also under a ten-year rotation cycle.

Lin Feng’s intention in doing this was to scatter the powerhouses from various subordinate factions.

By splitting members of the same clan or group across different locations—and ensuring that stationed powerhouses were unfamiliar with one another—he could prevent any collusion or attempts at rebellion.

Of course, those stationed outside on duty would receive a generous reward once their term was complete.

Conversely, Lin Feng had gathered all the fifth-tier alchemists into one place, forming the Alchemist Division.

He also placed a selection of sixth-tier alchemy techniques and insights in the local branch. Those who contributed enough could earn the right to read them.

This served to incentivize the alchemists to continue working diligently.

Among these alchemists, a few were peak fifth-tier.

With their combined strength, they were even capable of refining mid-grade sixth-tier pills, which could basically meet the needs of the entire region.

Due to the others slowing them down along the journey—and the considerable distance between the Black-Corner Region and the Jia Ma Empire—

It took Lin Feng’s group a little over a week to finally arrive at Sky Profound City.

Ironically, the ones causing the delay weren’t Lin Fei and Xue Mei, who had the lowest Dou Qi levels—but rather the Dou Wang-level members.

Even though the two women had only recently advanced to the Dou Ling level two months ago, they each possessed Flying Dou Techniques crafted from Rank 6 magic beast wings.

Their flying speed was something even ordinary Dou Wangs couldn’t keep up with.

”This Black-Corner Region really lives up to its reputation as the most chaotic place in the Northwestern Region. Compared to this, my Chu Yun Empire is nothing,”

Xiao Yixian exclaimed as she stepped into the city, glancing at the disorder and chaos on the streets. Despite all the killing she had seen in her life, she couldn’t help but be shocked.

The expressions of the other experts also changed subtly.

None of them had expected the Black-Corner Region to be this chaotic.

It was beyond anything they had encountered in their previous living environments—utterly lawless.

As for Xue Mei and Lin Fei, they didn’t even try to pretend. They simply clung tightly to Lin Feng’s arms, their faces screaming I’m not letting go, even if I die.

This scene made Medusa’s eye twitch violently. She seriously wanted to charge over and snap both women in half on the spot.

”Has anything gone wrong with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion here in the past six months?”

Inside the Sky Profound City branch of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Lin Feng sat in the main seat and turned to the branch leader beside him.

”Reporting to the Pavilion Master—our Sky Profound City branch has been operating normally during this period. We’ve also collected a number of rare medicinal ingredients. Please take a look.”

After speaking, the person in charge handed over a finely crafted booklet.

Lin Feng took it and began searching through it for the medicinal ingredients he needed.

After flipping through the pages, although Lin Feng didn’t find the main ingredient for the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, he did find several auxiliary materials. He immediately ordered the person in charge to bring all of them.

Upon hearing this, the latter quickly ran off to the treasure vault to retrieve the items.

”You few will remain behind to guard the Sky Profound City branch. As for the others, follow me to the main headquarters in Spirit Mountain City.”

Seeing the man leave, Lin Feng didn’t idle. He selected two Dou Huang and five Dou Wang to stay behind and guard the place.

One of the two Dou Huang was none other than Hai Bodong, who had previously been tricked by Lin Feng.

Originally, Hai Bodong was only at the Three-star Dou Huang level, but after Lin Feng refined a Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill for him, he had recovered to the peak of Five Stars.

With him, another early-stage Dou Huang, and five Dou Wang, it was more than enough to guard Sky Profound City.

”Yes, Pavilion Master!”

Upon receiving the order, the selected few clasped their fists and responded swiftly.

Not long after, once Lin Feng had received the requested items, he entrusted these seven experts to the local person in charge for arrangement.

As for himself, he continued flying toward Spirit Mountain City.

However, during the journey, Zi Yan left the group and headed toward Jia Nan Academy.

”Pavilion Master.”

When Lin Feng arrived at the headquarters of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Spirit Mountain City, Pang Sheng, Niu Tuo, Zhang Shi, Wang An, and a large group of elders quickly gathered in the main hall to greet him respectfully.

”Mm.”

Lin Feng gave a slight nod, then stepped into the hall and walked straight to the main seat before sitting down.

Medusa and Xiao Yixian stood at either side of him.

As he breathed in the delicate fragrance emanating from the two women, Lin Feng gestured to the group he had brought and said, ”These are the experts I brought from several other branches. Zhang Shi, arrange accommodations for them.”

”As you command.”

Zhang Shi looked at the newcomers and said, ”Everyone, please follow me.”

With that, he turned and walked toward the exit of the hall.

The others followed closely behind.

With his gaze withdrawing from those people, Lin Feng turned his eyes to the core management of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and asked, ”Has anything happened in Black-Corner Region during my absence?”

Upon hearing the question, Wang An stepped forward and replied, ”Reporting to Pavilion Master—on the second day after your departure, two major battles occurred in Black-Corner Region.

One of them was Elder Ying Shan attempting to seize the Life Devouring Pill from Mo Tianxing. However, in the end, Elder Ying Shan failed miserably.”

”As for the other battle, it was initiated by the Black Alliance. Among the renowned Gold and Silver Elders, the Silver Elder had secretly broken through to the Dou Zong realm.

They joined forces with a group of mysterious individuals to capture a young man named Xiao Yan. Although they ultimately failed, they did manage to extract a soul fragment from his body.”

When Lin Feng heard mention of ”mysterious individuals,” he immediately understood—it had to be the Hall of Souls Protectors who operated in the Black-Corner Region, along with their soul envoy squad.

However, upon hearing that the Black-Corner Alliance failed to capture Xiao Yan, Lin Feng was a bit puzzled. ”According to you, the Black-Corner Alliance had a great advantage. Why did they fail?”

”Pavilion Master, you may not know, but that Xiao Yan kid not only possesses extremely powerful movement and Dou Techniques, but he’s also very cunning. He invited Jia Nan Academy to escort him back. Moreover, the soul fragment in his body possessed combat strength at the Dou Zong level.”

Seeing Lin Feng’s confusion, Pang Sheng quickly stepped forward to explain: ”With the soul fragment and the people from Jia Nan Academy stalling the Dou Zong experts of the Black Alliance, Xiao Yan himself was heavily injured.

Yet he still managed to use a Flying Dou Technique along with an Earth Class movement technique to escape from under the hands of multiple Dou Huang. Eventually, he was rescued by the Inner Academy’s Grand Elder and brought back.

However, the consequence was that the Grand Elder, Su Qian, was gravely injured, and the soul fragment was captured.”

”Oh? That kid’s actually pretty lucky. He managed to escape even under those circumstances.”

Learning that Xiao Yan had escaped left Lin Feng slightly surprised.
