"Ancestor, what brings you here?"

Zhang Xun, an elder of the Huangfeng Valley Law Enforcement Hall, quickly came in from outside.

“Not far from our Yellow Maple Valley, there are several disciples from a small sect from Lingzhou, whose cultivation levels are between the late Core Formation stage and the early Nascent Soul stage.”

"Send a few more men over there and kill them all. Then hang their heads in front of the Yellow Maple Valley gate."

Han Feng was still furious, and a murderous aura emanated from him.

“Ancestor, this is probably not a good idea. Killing them is not a problem, but hanging their heads in front of the Yellow Maple Valley gate may provoke the wrath of the sects in Lingzhou.”

Zhang Xun could feel the terrifying killing intent, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

He understood that Han Feng was quite angry, but he had no choice but to say it.

In the six months that Han Feng was in, the entire Tiannan region underwent earth-shattering changes.

The arrival of countless sects from Lingzhou has put all the sects in Tiannan in a state of constant fear.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact!

Because of its previous bad reputation, no sect from Lingzhou dares to visit Huangfeng Valley for the time being.

However, the disciples of Huangfeng Valley also frequently suffered humiliation.

There was a beautiful female disciple who was originally from the Purple Moon Sect. She met a disciple from Lingzhou in the market.

The disciples of Lingzhou belong to a sect called the Joyful Sect, which is similar in concept to the Joyful Union Sect.

The Hehuan sect practices absorbing yang energy to replenish yin, while the Huanxi sect practices absorbing yin energy to replenish yang.

However, the methods of the Joyful Sect are much more cruel than those of the Harmonious Sect. Apart from excessive sexual exploitation, the Harmonious Sect does not harm people's lives.

The Joyful Sect primarily recruits female disciples, but very few of them manage to leave alive.

Even if some female disciples leave, they are basically no different from useless people.

Unlike the Joyful Union Sect, the Joyful Sect doesn't cultivate its own talent to some extent.

They only plunder female disciples from other sects, and almost none of the female disciples they plundered came out alive.

Even if someone is rescued, they will probably never be able to cultivate again.

The Huanxi Sect in Lingzhou was attacked by a coalition, and it was only by choosing to retire that the sect was not destroyed.

Now that the passage between Tiannan and Lingzhou is open, the people of the Huanxi Sect have reappeared.

After arriving in Tiannan, the Joyful Sect began to abduct beautiful female disciples to take back for cultivation.

Most of the Tiannan sects that were robbed chose to turn a blind eye.

This undoubtedly fueled the arrogance of the Joyful Sect, who would not let go of anything they set their sights on.

The female disciples of the original Purple Moon Sect would definitely not agree, so the disciples of the Joyful Sect wanted to use force.

Not only did he fail, but he was also seriously injured.

The Joyful Sect then approached Huangfeng Valley, demanding that Huangfeng Valley hand over the female disciple who originally belonged to the Purple Moon Sect.

Since Han Feng was in seclusion, this matter was not reported to him.

The final solution was to compensate the Joyful Sect with a large sum of spirit stones, but without handing over the beautiful female disciple.

The Joyful Sect did not give up and continued to cause trouble for Yellow Maple Valley from time to time.

Now that Han Feng has emerged from seclusion, Zhang Xun has finally found a pillar of support.

However, he still felt that Han Feng's methods were too extreme and that there was no need to make Huangfeng Valley a target of public criticism.

"Just do it. Don't overthink it. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong. If the people of Huangfeng Valley were afraid, they would have been wiped out long ago." Han Feng didn't blame Zhang Xun.

Given the current situation in Tiannan, Zhang Xun's reaction is not surprising.

"Yes, sir! I'll arrange it right away!"

Zhang Xun felt like he'd been injected with adrenaline, the memory of the previous sect's destruction still vivid in his mind.

Just as the patriarch said, if Huangfeng Valley were afraid and dared not take the initiative to attack, Huangfeng Valley would likely have already been destroyed.

Having overcome such a difficult situation, what are these current challenges?

Following Han Feng's orders, Zhang Xun killed all the disciples from the minor sects in Lingzhou outside the main sect.

These disciples from minor sects in Lingzhou assumed that Zhang Xun had come to welcome them.

It wasn't until Zhang Xun killed someone that everyone realized what had happened.

These people initially warned Zhang Xun that if he killed them, he would face retaliation from the Lingzhou sect behind him.

But Zhang Xun seemed determined and showed no intention of holding back.

All the disciples of the minor sects in Lingzhou were killed, and their heads, at Han Feng's request, were all hung above the mountain gate.

After dealing with this matter, Han Feng gave everyone another set of instructions.

No matter who dares to come to Huangfeng Valley to extort money or blackmail, no matter how powerful their backing is, they will all be killed.

If anything goes wrong, he, as the patriarch, will be the first to take the blame.

With Han Feng's words, everyone's previous gloom was swept away.

During this period, Huangfeng Valley has been more assertive than other sects.

However, they dared not be too forceful, as the foundation of these Lingzhou sects was far superior to that of the Tiannan sects.

With Han Feng's words, everything was completely different; I instantly felt much more confident.

After the people from Huangfeng Valley left the main hall, he also prepared to take a look at the Gold-Eating Insects.

As soon as Han Feng entered the secret chamber where the Gold-Eating Insects were being cultivated, two beams of light, one dark and one golden, attacked him.

He immediately activated his Azure Light Shield for defense, but unexpectedly, the incomparably defensive Azure Light Shield was instantly gnawed through with two large holes.

"Does this mean it's going to devour its master?"

Han Feng instantly understood what those two beams of light were.

He quickly activated the master-servant contract and finally managed to subdue it after a great deal of effort.

Han Feng reinforced the master-servant contract and only released the two gold-devouring insects after confirming that everything was in order.

At this time, the Gold-Eating Insect had reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the black Gold-Eating Insect was slightly different from the golden one.

The black gold-devouring insect has a harder body, with strength comparable to a semi-finished spiritual treasure.

The golden gold-devouring insect has a unique feature: it can actually devour divine consciousness.

Han Feng then placed the two gold-devouring insects together, hoping that they would devour each other again.

If it can devour something again, the Gold-Eating Insect will definitely evolve again.

Unfortunately, both of these gold-devouring beetles were very strong, and neither could defeat the other.

"Let me look around and see if I can let them continue to devour each other."

Han Feng conducted another life simulation and obtained the naked fruit from it.

After the two gold-eating insects devoured the red fruit, they did not devour each other.

Presumably because the two Gold-Eating Insects were of similar strength, the Red Fruit was divided equally.

He then let one of the gold-eating insects devour the red fruit, but they did not devour each other.

"These two Gold-Eating Insects must be at a very high level; ordinary things can hardly affect them," Han Feng concluded.

There were many gold-devouring insects ahead, and their cultivation levels were much lower.

When they devour the red fruit, they will inevitably swallow more than they will eat.

The naked fruit contained elements of violence, which caused the gold-devouring insects to begin devouring each other.

These two gold-devouring insects are no longer what they used to be; the red fruit has no effect on them at all.

Han Feng conducted two or three more life simulations in search of even more precious materials for the Gold-Eating Insects to devour.

Aside from devouring other creatures, the two gold-devouring insects only slightly strengthened themselves, without undergoing any major changes.

"Forget it, let's not do it for now."

Han Feng did not continue the life simulation; finding materials was no longer an option.

If this continues, it will simply be a waste of time.

He reinforced the master-servant contract and then put away the two gold-devouring insects.

An enticing aroma wafted in from outside, and Han Feng knew immediately who it came from.
