People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

160: Chapter 160 The onlookers get the real juicy gossip! Han Feng breaks down.Hiss!

At this moment, most of the top experts in the Black-Corner Region had gathered around, and they were all startled upon hearing Xiao Ting’s words.

Some were startled because it was their first time hearing of Han Feng’s teacher, ”Venerable Yao”; just by the title, they knew he was a Dou Zun.

Indeed, for Han Feng to be such a young Sixth-Rank Alchemist capable of occasionally refining Rank 7 medicinal pills, and a Peak Dou Huang, it was only natural for him to have a powerful teacher.

However, those who were well-informed already knew of Han Feng’s background, so they were shocked that Xiao Ting actually dared to provoke him.

”So, you are not giving me, Han, any face?” The three words ”Venerable Yao” made Han Feng’s expression darken instantly.

Complex emotions like guilt, annoyance, anger, confusion, and apprehension swirled in his heart.

”I already told you that your face isn’t worth anything.” Xiao Ting scoffed, beginning to attack his heart.

”I have a question I don’t understand. If you, Han Feng, can answer it for me, I might just give you some face.”

”Oh?” A bad premonition rose in Han Feng’s heart, but driven by curiosity, he asked, ”What question?”

”I actually know quite a bit about your situation.” Xiao Ting said with a chuckle, ”The current Maple City used to be called Han Family Village, the place where your parents and clansmen lived. It was slaughtered by a group of horse bandits, and it was Venerable Yao who happened to pass by, saved you, and even avenged your parents by killing the horse bandits. Right?”

Han Feng’s eyes trembled, his lips moved, but he couldn’t speak.

The surrounding onlookers secretly envied him; Han Feng’s luck was too good, to be able to become a disciple of a Dou Zun.

”When you were a child, Venerable Yao specifically developed the Foundation Establishment Elixir to help you forge a perfect foundation for alchemy and cultivation talent. His assessment of you was that your talent was superior to his own. Right?”

The onlookers: So envious! So envious!!

Han Feng’s chest began to heave, his expression shifting uncertainly.

At this moment, Xiao Ting revealed his true intentions, asking directly, ”So, why did you betray Venerable Yao, collude with the Hall of Souls to ambush him, and try to kill him?”

The onlookers: ???

Holy crap, we’re eating real melons!?

Han Feng actually...

Hiss, is this real?

Would anyone be this stupid?

People say self-amputation, but isn’t this chopping off one’s entire body until only a dog’s brain is left?

”What kind of idiot is this? What benefit is there in betraying a Dou Zun who treated him so well?”

Hu Gan’s voice rang out across the world.

This was to tell Xiao Ting that he had arrived, and also to play along.

”It’s not that simple.” Xiao Ting said loudly with a chuckle, ”Venerable Yao is no ordinary Dou Zun, but a Peak Dou Zun who has reached the Nine Transformations to Sainthood. Some people might not know what that is, so let me introduce it to everyone.”

The onlookers: We aren’t qualified to understand that far; Dou Zun is a realm we don’t even dare to imagine.

”Dou Zun experts are also divided into one to nine stars, with the strongest being the Nine-Star Peak. Strictly speaking, the Peak Dou Zun has already stepped into another realm, known as the Nine Transformations to Sainthood, which are the nine steps one must take before becoming a Dou Sheng expert.”

”Each transformation is equivalent to re-cultivating from one-star to nine-star Dou Zun once. Therefore, a Peak Dou Zun who has reached the Nine Transformations to Sainthood, if there were a way to distribute his strength equally, could create nine Nine-Star Peak Dou Zuns.”

Everyone: !!!

”So,” Xiao Ting crossed his arms, his tone shifting again, ”to be able to ambush such an expert, it must be someone he absolutely trusted and had no defenses against.”

”Such a good teacher who genuinely cared for you, didn’t need you to do anything, and just by following his arrangements, you could reach the level of a Dou Zun and a Grade 8 Alchemist.”

”Why on earth did you betray him? Can you explain that to me!?”

But clearly, Han Feng could not answer.

Firstly, he was unwilling to expose information about the Burning Technique.

Even if he did expose it, he would only be despised, making people feel even more that he was hopelessly stupid.

After all, who would abandon a bright, wide road to walk on a single-plank bridge that might not even exist?

But while he remained silent, Xiao Ting had no intention of letting him off, speaking again, ”I remember you reached the Peak Dou Huang and became a Sixth-Rank Alchemist in your early twenties. How is it that after ten or twenty years, you are still the same?”

”Is being a piece of trash who doesn’t rely on top experts, and even wastes his own talent, your goal?”

Pfft.

Laughter rang out across the world.

Han Feng’s face was so gloomy it could drip water, and he spoke coldly, ”Nonsense! Do you think that just because you know a little bit of surface-level information, you can just spout some gibberish and call it the truth?”

”The person who killed my teacher was the Hall of Souls, it was Mu Gu Old Man.”

”Just as you said, my teacher was a Peak Dou Zun who had reached the Nine Transformations to Sainthood.”

”Even if he trusted me one hundred percent, do you think I could have ambushed him?”

Han Feng’s words actually sounded somewhat reasonable.

”Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Xiao Ting scoffed again, effectively ending the argument, ”You can only fool those who don’t understand you or the situation. You can’t fool me with your nonsense.”

”If you weren’t feeling guilty, even if Venerable Yao had gone missing or fallen, would your treatment in the Starfall Pavilion have been any worse?”

”Who in the entire Fighting Qi Continent doesn’t know that Wind Venerable and Venerable Yao of the Starfall Pavilion had a bond of life and death, willing to die for one another?”

”As long as you remained in the Starfall Pavilion, Wind Venerable would have looked after you like his own son, cultivating you to avoid betraying the friendship of Venerable Yao.”

”Yet, you ran away to the Black-Corner Region in the Northwest Continent, which is quite far from the Starfall Pavilion in the Southern Region of the Central Plains, and hid yourself.”

”If not for guilt, why hide?”

”How about this? I’ll find someone to send a message to Wind Venerable saying that you, Han Feng, are here. How about that?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Feng’s mentality instantly shattered.

He knew very well the status Wind Venerable and Venerable Yao held in each other’s hearts.

If Wind Venerable found him, unless he completely joined the Hall of Souls to be their dog, and one day possibly become expendable material, there would be no other way to survive.

”Nonsense! Using my teacher’s name to slander me, you are courting death!”

Han Feng shouted angrily, summoning the Sea Heart Flame and attacking directly.

A massive blue wave of flames, dozens of zhang in size, appeared and surged towards Xiao Ting.

”What a coincidence, I also think this stupid ingrate deserves to die!”

Xiao Ting didn’t hold back at all, raising his hand to summon the Purple Heaven Flame, imbuing it into the thunder flame cauldron, which then flew out.

Wherever the Purple Heaven Flame passed, the Sea Heart Flame retreated three steps, and Han Feng’s attack dissipated instantly.

”What!?” Han Feng’s eyes showed shock.

This was a move he had created himself using the strongest Dou Technique left behind by that old thing, combined with his Heavenly Flame; it had once even harmed a low-level Dou Zong.

Faced with Xiao Ting’s attack, it actually retreated!?

”Heavenly Thunder Attraction!”

Xiao Ting cast a Soul Technique once again.

This time, the momentum was even more immense; he was using his full strength, supplemented with the power of the Purple Heaven Flame.

”Boom!”

Countless bolts of thunder fell, carrying the might of the purple heavenly fire.

Faced with this situation, Han Feng was exhausted and finally understood why the Gold and Silver Elders had been suppressed despite joining forces, and nearly perished.

”I am an Alchemist, I am not good at fighting.” Han Feng said coldly, ”Kid, you don’t know the true power of an Alchemist!”

Xiao Ting: ?
