”Uh…”

Lin Feng’s expression stiffened slightly when he heard the question. He was just about to explain, ”She’s my—”

”We already have a child together,” Medusa cut him off firmly before he could finish.

”What?!”

The moment the words left her lips, Xiao Yixian’s grayish-purple eyes were immediately flooded with a murderous gleam.

She had spent five long years struggling and fighting outside, finally clawing her way to her current status and strength and when she looked back, her man had been stolen right from under her nose!

Just imagining that Lin Feng’s first time had been taken by someone else sent a wave of fury crashing through her. A dark green, searing flame slowly rose from her delicate white palm.

Eyes ice-cold, she stared at the woman who had stolen her man, ready to make her pay the price.

”Wanna fight? You think this queen’s afraid of you?”

Medusa’s eyes turned just as cold upon seeing that dangerous emerald Heavenly Flame, not backing down in the slightest.

”Wahhh... so scary…”

Seeing the two about to go head-to-head, Zi Yan shrieked and immediately ran behind Lin Feng, clearly startled.

”You two, that’s enough! We’re here to deal with the Hall of Souls!”

Seeing the smoke of battle already rising between them, Lin Feng had to raise his voice and shout sternly.

”Hmph!”

Both women snorted coldly in unison and turned their heads away, refusing to look at each other.

Seeing them finally settle down, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief and asked,

”Xian’er, you mentioned the Xiao Clan brothers earlier. Have you captured them already?”

”Yes. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were caught by our Poison Sect a few days ago. I’ve already sent them to Protector Tie.”

Xiao Yixian nodded slightly, then asked with a hint of suspicion,

”Don’t tell me... is there something special about the two of them?”

Having risen to her current position, she obviously wasn’t naive. From Lin Feng’s reaction, she could tell there was something deeper behind this.

Hearing her words, Lin Feng’s heart sank. He knew the time had come—he would have to face Xiao Yan head-on.

After all, Xiao Yan wasn’t some weakling. Once he learned that his two elder brothers had gone missing, even if he couldn’t be certain it was Xiao Yixian behind it…

He would definitely suspect her, especially given the timing of her invasion of the Jia Ma Empire.

With a solemn expression, Lin Feng replied,

”Yes. Their younger brother, Xiao Yan, is now the disciple of a high-ranking alchemist. He himself has already reached the level of a sixth-tier alchemist.”

”But there’s no need to worry. Right now, he can’t threaten us.”

Seeing Xiao Yixian’s troubled look, Lin Feng reassured her gently.

Afterward, the group agreed that Xiao Yixian would withdraw her troops.

Lin Feng also gave her a large amount of pills to calm public sentiment.

After all, they had fought for so long—if they pulled out with nothing to show for it,

even if the soldiers didn’t say anything on the surface, they’d definitely feel discontent in their hearts.

As for the gold needed to compensate the lower-ranked soldiers—there was no concern. The Poison Sect had never lacked for resources.

From Xiao Yixian’s account, Lin Feng also learned that the person who had encouraged her to invade the Jia Ma Empire was none other than Protector Tie.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate was currently vying with the Poison Sect for control over the Chu Yun Empire.

So Lin Feng decided—he would settle the Jia Ma Empire first.

After that, he would help Xiao Yixian unify Chu Yun, making it the foundation of the Poison Sect’s power.

After settling these matters, Lin Feng took Medusa with him and flew out of the main command tent, heading straight for the Jia Ma Empire’s military camp.

He already knew that the Yun Lan Sect and the Jia Ma Imperial Family were now working together to resist Chu Yun Empire’s invasion.

As the Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun was almost certainly there as well.

At that very moment, Yun Yun, who was resting on a lounge chair in her tent, suddenly sensed another presence in the room—her heart jolted violently.

Mistaking it for a sneak attack from the Chu Yun Empire, Yun Yun immediately stood up and called out, ”Who’s there?”

”It’s me, Yun Yun.”

Seeing that Yun Yun was about to call for backup, Lin Feng quickly interrupted her. He was worried that if chaos broke out, it would require a lot of explaining afterward.

”Lin Feng?!”

Hearing his voice, Yun Yun gasped in surprise. She quickly tidied her robe slightly.

Even though she was in her nightgown, she still radiated a noble and graceful aura, completely undiminished.

”You’re back?!”

She stepped forward, asking with a mix of delight and disbelief.

But that graceful and elegant face soon turned a bit angry.

This man had only sent her a few gifts over the past four years—never once did he return to see her personally!

Though the gifts were rare and valuable—Mighty Huang Pills and other sixth-tier medicinal pills—even so, she couldn’t help but wonder if he had lost interest in her with age.

Looking at that charming face, which hadn’t changed in the slightest over the past four years aside from her Dou Qi level reaching the peak of Dou Huang, Lin Feng naturally understood her dissatisfaction.

So, he first soothed her anger with sweet words and flattery.

Only then did he cut straight to the point—revealing that the war was a conspiracy of the Hall of Souls.

He also told her that her teacher, Yun Shan, had been secretly controlled by the Hall.

To prove it, he produced a Soul Bag, showing that the Hall of Souls had instigated the conflict to make all the major powers slaughter each other, giving them an opportunity to harvest souls.

Hearing this, Yun Yun immediately led Lin Feng and his group to her teacher’s residence.

After all, she had been raised by Yun Shan since childhood. The thought that he had been secretly controlled filled her with anxiety.

The next day, both the Chu Yun Empire and Jia Ma Empire halted their war—as if under some strange, mutual understanding.

Even more shockingly, the Chu Yun Empire voluntarily relinquished all the cities and villages it had occupied, withdrawing to the original border between the two nations.

What was even more unusual was that the military officers and soldiers showed no signs of dissatisfaction at all.

As for Lin Feng and Yun Yun’s group, they did not return to the Yun Lan Sect.

Instead, they headed to a remote mountain.

In a secluded valley, Lin Feng looked at the seated Yun Shan and asked,

”Senior Yun Shan, are you ready?”

”Go ahead.”

Yun Shan’s firm reply came without hesitation.

Ever since learning that Protector Wu had secretly planted a soul-controlling technique inside his body, Yun Shan’s eyes occasionally showed a flash of cold venom.

If Lin Feng hadn’t told him, he would still be gratefully thanking that so-called Protector Wu for using secret techniques to help him break through to Dou Zong.

Whenever he thought of this, Yun Shan felt a chill run through his heart.

That was why he had no objections at all to Lin Feng’s plan.

Seeing that Yun Shan was prepared, Lin Feng raised his hand, curving his fingers slightly toward his palm.

Boom—

A glassy flame appeared in his hand.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng flicked his fingers.

The Glazed Lotus Core Flame instantly shot toward Yun Shan’s back and entered his body.

Lin Feng had already studied the secret technique carefully. He knew that when it was cast, it would leave a black mark deep within the victim’s soul.

That mark allowed the caster to forcibly pull out the victim’s soul at any time.

So once the Heavenly Flame entered Yun Shan’s body, Lin Feng immediately guided it toward his soul’s core.

The terrifying heat of the Heavenly Flame caused intense pain in Yun Shan.

But he clenched his teeth and endured it.

Lin Feng was extremely cautious in controlling the Glazed Lotus Core Flame.

Even though Yun Shan was a Dou Zong, if his soul got scorched by a Heavenly Flame, the damage would be severe—if not fatal.

The emerald flame searched through Yun Shan’s body for more than half an hour before Lin Feng finally found the jet-black mark.

Gazing at the mark—almost completely fused with Yun Shan’s soul—Lin Feng warned, ”Senior Yun Shan, this thing is deeply integrated with your soul. When I burn it, you’ll feel excruciating pain. You must hold on!”

”Do it.”

There was no hesitation in Yun Shan’s voice.

He absolutely could not allow this wretched thing to keep lurking in his soul, robbing him of peace.
