Chapter 119: Four Dou Emperors Rush to the Black-Corner Region!

"Please accompany me to the Black-Corner Region to kill someone."

Yun Tianming's eyes glinted with determination. Gathering four powerful Dou Emperors to assassinate Han Feng was a plan he had been preparing for a long time!

"Black-Corner Region? Coincidentally, our Heavenly Snake Mansion has a branch there."

"Who do you want to kill?"

Lu Man's eyes flickered. The Heavenly Snake Mansion wielded immense power, with its eyes and ears spread across the continent.

"This person's name is Han Feng," Yun Tianming replied.

"Han Feng? The Sixth-grade Alchemist known as Medicine Emperor Han Feng?" Lu Man was instantly astonished, evidently having heard of this name before.

"What? You want to kill a Sixth-grade Alchemist," Hai Bo Dong exclaimed, a look of horror on his face, swallowing hard.

Although he had vaguely sensed that Yun Tianming's summoning of four Dou Emperor powerhouses at once meant the target was undoubtedly significant, he didn't expect it to be a Sixth-grade Alchemist!

In the entire Jia Ma Empire, apart from Gu He, no one else held the esteemed title of a Sixth-grade Alchemist.

Moreover, the network of a Sixth-grade Alchemist was vast. If they failed to strike decisively and the target recovered, rallying a wave of powerhouses for retaliation, even Dou Emperor powerhouses would struggle against the furious reprisal of a Sixth-grade Alchemist!

Queen Medusa didn't react much. Her agreement with Yun Tianming was always about killing, and she didn't care who the target was.

"After the deed is done, I will persuade Qing Lin to return to the Heavenly Snake Mansion with you."

"Do you plan to use force to coerce the Saintess? Aren't you afraid of her retaliating against you once she grows up?" Yun Tianming pointed out a key issue bluntly.

Lu Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor exchanged a glance, realizing the truth of his words!

Although they were Dou Emperor powerhouses, in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, they were merely at the level of "super soldiers."

The potential of Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was immense. In the future, they could become Dou Ancestors, Dou Venerates, or even Dou Saints!

If Qing Lin harbored resentment towards them, she could easily crush them, mere "Dou Emperors," with a flick of her finger in the future.

"Alright, we'll do as you say!"

With their inferior strength and being at a disadvantage during negotiations, Lu Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor had no choice.

After reaching an agreement in negotiations, Yun Tianming arranged for Qing Lin's safety and had the Fifth Rank Magic Beast, Wind Sand Python, protect her closely.

Before leaving, they conveniently wiped out the Mo Family in Yan City!

With the four Dou Emperor powerhouses making their move, the outcome was never in doubt.

Overnight, the Mo Family, which had dominated the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, was completely uprooted and eradicated!

The destruction of the Mo Family caused quite a stir in the Jia Ma Empire. Various major forces speculated on which powerhouse the Mo Family had offended to be wiped out overnight.

At this moment, Yun Tianming and his group had already set off for the Black-Corner Region.

The four Dou Emperors all possessed Dou Qi Wings. Yun Tianming relied on the Flying Dou Technique. Although his speed was not as fast as the others, his powerful endurance ability from the Earth Rank Qi Method ensured he didn't fall too far behind.

Between the Jia Ma Empire and the Black-Corner Region lay a distance of over ten thousand miles. One had to pass through several small countries before reaching the outskirts of the Black-Corner Region. Such a vast distance meant that without walking or riding flying beasts, it would take at least three to five months or even half a year to reach the destination.

...

Seven days later.

Gazing into the distance, at the end of their sight, lay a pitch-black plain. It seemed like a black line, completely dividing the outer world from the inner one.

"Is that the legendary Black-Corner Region?" Yun Tianming asked with curiosity written all over his face. Although he hadn't been there personally, he had heard rumors about the chaos in the Black-Corner Region.

"Hiss~"

"Just as rumored, the air here carries a strong scent of blood."

At this point, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor had already shrunk its body to avoid attracting attention as a massive creature.

"Let's find a place to rest and recover our Dou Qi first."

"We'll soon be facing a fierce battle."

Yun Tianming was drenched in sweat. The days of continuous travel had been draining his Dou Qi, despite the recovery provided by the Nourishing Divine Wood Qi Method. However, such intense expenditure had its benefits; he could already faintly sense fluctuations in his Dou Qi, hinting at a breakthrough to the level of a 4-Star Dou Grandmaster.

"I've already used a Secret Technique to transmit a message to the nearby branch of the Heavenly Snake Mansion. They'll arrange for someone to receive us soon."

Lu Man held a snake-shaped jade token in her hand, emitting a faint glow, seemingly a communication tool.

After a while, a Dou King from the Heavenly Snake Mansion flew over to handle the reception.

Yun Tianming and his group arrived at the branch of the Heavenly Snake Mansion without any intention of enjoying the local scenery, entering their respective rooms to rest early.

The next day.

Everyone's spirits were high, their Dou Qi restored to its optimal state.

"This is the information collected by the management of the Heavenly Snake Mansion branch about Han Feng."

Despite past conflicts, after reaching a cooperative agreement, Lu Man took the initiative to undertake the task of gathering intelligence.

"Han Feng's headquarters are in the southern part of the Black-Corner Region, in a city called Feng City."

"The defense there is very tight, with a flight restriction barrier set up in the sky and Dou Qi detection techniques at the entrance."

"Sneaking into Feng City won't be an easy task."

Lu Man frowned.

"It's alright. Leave the infiltration to me," Yun Tianming replied dismissively. He could use Soul Power to cover the group, rendering detection techniques useless against his soul barrier.

"Infiltration is just the first hurdle. The second challenge lies within Feng City, where two Dou Emperor powerhouses and five Dou Kings are stationed. The third challenge is said to be Han Feng himself, a high-level Dou Emperor who possesses Heavenly Flame, with combat prowess far surpassing that of his peers," Lu Man relayed the gathered intelligence.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong and Queen Medusa couldn't help but furrow their brows. The enemy's overall combat strength was no less than theirs! Coupled with home-field advantage, Han Feng's status as a Sixth-grade Alchemist in the city commanded great respect, capable of rallying a large number of cultivators to his cause.

"Can we handle this? While we try to kill him, we might end up getting killed instead," the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor expressed doubt.

"Don't worry, while the enemy operates in the light, we thrive in the shadows. The advantage is ours!"

"When the time comes, all you need to do is hold off Han Feng and deplete his strength as much as possible."

"At the last moment, I will personally kill Han Feng."

Yun Tianming's calm tone sharpened as he spoke the final words, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

The plan to assassinate Han Feng had been brewing for a long time. It could even be said that when he was just a small Dou Practitioner in the Misty Cloud Sect, he had already begun plotting Han Feng's assassination. Today, he could finally put it into action!

"Yun Tianming, you want to personally kill Han Feng?"

At these words, the four Dou Emperors present all showed expressions of astonishment. With their strength, they weren't even sure they could take down Han Feng. Yet, you, a Dou Grandmaster, claim to have the means to kill a high-level Dou Emperor?
