"Mm, what you said makes a lot of sense, I'll send her out of Holy Pill City in a moment."
Hearing that, Lin Feng nodded approvingly and spoke calmly.
"???"
Xiao Yan was instantly stunned. He had expected that once he brought this up, Lin Feng would stubbornly deny everything. He had also imagined that Lin Feng might take out some treasures, hoping he would keep it a secret.
But what he never expected was that the moment he opened his mouth, Lin Feng acted like he truly intended to send that white-robed woman out of Holy Pill City. With that reaction, Xiao Yan suddenly didn't even know how to continue.
However, when he thought about it carefully, if Lin Feng really sent that white-robed woman away, then he would have the chance to kill her on the road. He could cripple one of Lin Feng's arms metaphorically, and at the same time seize the Heavenly Flame that woman carried.
Immediately after, Xiao Yan put on a "I'm doing this for Holy Pill City" face and said with satisfaction, "Since you're willing to send the bearer of the Woeful Poison Body away and remove the potential danger she poses to Holy Pill City, then I have nothing more to say. Just make sure you're not all talk and no action."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan cast a sideways glance at Lin Feng, pretending to look concerned for the greater good.
"No worries, once you leave, I'll contact an acquaintance of mine from the Ancient Void Dragons and have Xian'er stay in their small world for a while. That way, even if her constitution flares up, she won't harm Holy Pill City in the slightest."
After saying that, Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yixian beside him and asked, "Xian'er, what do you think?"
"No problem, I think that place is pretty nice anyway. I'll just stay there for a few decades and see how things go."
Xiao Yixian knew perfectly well that he was doing this intentionally to anger Xiao Yan, so she cooperated fully.
"What, live in the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's small world?!"
Hearing Lin Feng's proposed solution, Xiao Yan's body suddenly stiffened, and then he cried out in shock.
If that white-robed woman went to live in the Ancient Dragon Clan's small world, how was he supposed to attack her?
After all, he definitely didn't have the ability to locate the coordinates of the Ancient Void Dragons' small world.
"Relax, she'll be living there, she won't cause any trouble for Holy Pill City, there's no need to act so frightened."
Seeing Xiao Yan panic the moment he heard the plan, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh secretly. He had already guessed most of Xiao Yan's intentions.
Since Xiao Yan gave up on blackmailing so quickly, it was obvious he had other schemes in mind. Among all the possibilities, Lin Feng felt the most likely was that Xiao Yan wanted to assassinate Xiao Yixian and seize her Heavenly Flame.
Because aside from the Heavenly Flame, Lin Feng really couldn't think of what else on Xiao Yixian would attract Xiao Yan so greedily. Lin Feng was amused, but Xiao Yan's expression looked like he was badly constipated.
If Lin Feng were unwilling to send the white-robed woman away, he could still pretend he didn't know her Woeful Poison Body had already been sealed. He could then use the public's fear of the Woeful Poison Body to extort Lin Feng for hush money, or force that woman to leave the city.
But now? The moment he brought it up, the other party willingly offered to send her to the territory of the Ancient Void Dragons. How was he supposed to continue from here?
"Alright, the matter is resolved. If you've got nothing else, you can go now. I don't have time to chat with an enemy who keeps thinking about stealing my Heavenly Flame."
Seeing Xiao Yan silent for so long, Lin Feng directly issued a dismissal.
Hearing that, Xiao Yan's brows twitched. His attempt to blackmail Lin Feng using the Woeful Poison Body had collapsed completely. He thought for a moment, then remembered there was still another "piece of information" he could use.
His expression instantly relaxed, and he smiled, "Hehe, sometimes I really do envy your good luck with women. Based on my understanding, that Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan girl beside you seems to have quite an unusual relationship with you, doesn't she?"
Then his tone carried a subtle threat as he continued, "However, from the information I received, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan cares very deeply about their bloodline. What you've done may cause them to explode in anger and send someone to 'settle' this matter."
"Is this even worth mentioning? Compared to you—who stole the Fallen Heart Flame from Jia Nan Academy with nothing but a Dou Wang cultivation back then—this is nothing."
"Not to mention, you also absorbed the Sea Heart Flame, the Mysterious Yellow Flame, and the Fire Mountain Rock Flame."
Hearing the threat from the other side, Lin Feng replied calmly.
"Compared to someone who's already absorbed four kinds of Heavenly Flames and can still hop around full of energy, what I've done hardly counts as anything."
Since he knew Xiao Yan was already preparing to rescue Yao Chen, he didn't want any unexpected variables. So he didn't mention Flame Mantra for now—he only stated the fact that the other party possessed multiple Heavenly Flames.
But even so, when Xiao Yan heard him mention what he had done back at Jia Nan Academy, as well as the secret that he possessed four Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan's heart instantly sank.
At this moment, he understood clearly that his plan to use Feng Qing'er's identity as a member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to threaten Lin Feng… had just completely fallen apart.
"This guy is really troublesome…"
Thinking of Lin Feng's tone—which carried subtle hints of threat as well—Xiao Yan gritted his teeth. For a moment, helplessness flooded his heart. Even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare ignore the other's threat by exposing each other's secrets.
After all, he was currently at odds with Hall of Souls and had lost the protection of the Pill Tower.
If it were revealed that he carried four Heavenly Flames inside his body, then the very next moment—countless experts would rush over, either to seize his Heavenly Flames or to force him to reveal how he managed to absorb four flames without them conflicting and exploding.
"Am I really going to leave empty-handed this time?"
Seeing that the two pieces of information he revealed failed to make Lin Feng panic, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"Wait… how did I forget about that?!"
He suddenly remembered something his teacher had once told him.
Gritting his teeth, he decided to give it a try. Although he didn't know the specific details, it might still have some effect. Then Xiao Yan spoke again: "Speaking of the Woeful Poison Body… I recall something my master once mentioned. When he was young, he traveled to many places."
"Once, by complete accident, he discovered the tomb of a powerful expert who also possessed the Woeful Poison Body. And according to him, that Woeful Poison Body expert had reached the Ban Sheng realm before his death!"
Saying this, Xiao Yan intentionally paused, his gaze sweeping sideways to observe Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian's expressions. Upon hearing it, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity—clearly, he had piqued her interest.
As for Lin Feng, when he heard Xiao Yan bring this up, he immediately began searching through the original story in his mind, trying to find any clues.
