"Bodhisattva Seed."
Han Feng murmured, looking at the seed that appeared in his hand.
He didn't expect the Bodhisattva Seed to be hidden within the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. This was really...
If the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was just comparable to a Rank 7 spiritual medicine, then the Bodhisattva Seed was a proper peak Rank 8 spiritual object, bringing significant benefits for a peak Dou Venerate to advance to Half-Saint.
The legendary Bodhisattva Heart was illusory, but the Bodhisattva Seed truly existed. Every Bodhisattva Seed that flowed out from the Mang Huang Ancient Region was hyped to a sky-high price.
If Mo Tianxing knew that the Bodhisattva Seed was hidden in the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, he probably wouldn't have offered this treasure so generously.
A smile curled up on the corner of Han Feng's mouth.
Last time it was the Heaven Demon Phoenix skeleton, and this time it was the Bodhisattva Seed. Sect Leader Mo had misjudged twice.
However, one thing he said made sense. Whether it was the Heaven Demon Phoenix skeleton or the Bodhisattva Seed, he, a mere Dou Ancestor, did not have the ability to keep them.
The Heaven Demon Phoenix skeleton was from a peak Rank 7 magical beast, and the Bodhisattva Seed was a peak Rank 8 spiritual object. Unless Mo Tianxing was willing to take a risk and bet his cultivation foundation, these things would sooner or later become the culprits destroying him.
Of course, if he successfully refined the Bodhisattva Seed, Mo Tianxing's gains would definitely be extremely generous, and there would be great hope for advancing to Dou Venerate in the future.
Unfortunately, he didn't have such luck, nor did he have such boldness.
Choosing to protect himself wisely was a reflection of Mo Tianxing's fear.
Holding the Bodhisattva Seed in his hand, Han Feng activated the "Bodhisattva Sutra" and found that the Dou Qi in his body resonated with the Bodhisattva Seed.
"As expected."
Han Feng looked delighted.
When practicing the Buddhist "Bodhisattva Sutra", Han Feng had speculated whether this secret technique was related to the Bodhisattva Tree.
Trying it now, it actually reacted.
Han Feng closed his eyes and carefully felt the vast energy fluctuations within the Bodhisattva Seed.
This energy was incredibly powerful, but in front of the cultivation of a mid-stage Four-Star Dou Saint, it was not enough to stir up tempestuous waves.
Han Feng firmly controlled this energy, and his soul power trembled slightly. In a trance, he seemed to see a towering ancient tree. Its thick trunk connected heaven and earth, and the verdant leaves rustled. Every soft murmur stimulated infinite Dao rhymes.
This is... the peak of Nine-Star Dou Saint, Di State Soul!
In the next instant, Han Feng's soul vision returned to the main hall.
The scene he saw just now seemed not to be reality.
"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is actually also a Half-Step Dou God powerhouse."
Han Feng's tone was shocked.
In his previous life, he did not participate in this opportunity, nor did he see this ancient giant tree with his own eyes.
Now, getting a glimpse from the Bodhisattva Seed, he realized how powerful the other party was.
"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, perhaps it can also become my aid in the future."
Han Feng pondered.
This extremely pure energy was simply a natural weapon against evil Qi.
If he could get the help of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, then Han Feng's pressure in the future would definitely be reduced a lot.
Maybe in ancient times, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had already helped the Four Divine Beasts resist extraterrestrial demons.
"This Mang Huang Ancient Region, it seems I really have to make a trip."
"And it's best to go alone to find it before the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree appears in the world."
Han Feng remembered that for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree opportunity in his previous life, the eight ancient clans and the three major magical beast families all sent people.
If too many people were present, it would definitely be inconvenient for Han Feng to act.
After deciding on this matter, Han Feng added a note to his future itinerary.
It must be said that Mo Tianxing gave him a big surprise.
As the sun set in the west, Feng City showed its brightly lit side to the guests visiting today.
A light source was lit every dozen meters, and the various shops were even more colorful.
Feng City at night was more charming than during the day.
Mo Tianxing came to the gate of the dinner banquet. At this time, many City Lords had already entered the venue.
Seeing Mo Tianxing arrive, they all stepped forward to greet him.
"Sect Leader Mo!"
"Long time no see, your elegance remains the same!"
"Exactly, exactly. Sect Leader Mo's aura is even deeper than a few years ago. Presumably, your cultivation has improved again."
A group of people flattered Mo Tianxing, making the already unhappy Sect Leader Mo feel even heavier in his heart.
Brainless fools, do you think pushing me to the front will keep you safe and sound?
This old man will report all of you later!
If we die, we die together!
Looking at this group of ruddy-faced City Lords, Mo Tianxing forced a smile and greeted them one by one.
A moment later, everyone entered the venue and took their seats according to their respective ranks.
A melodious voice sounded, and Han Feng walked from the backstage and ascended to the main seat.
Today, he was wearing a black robe, his long hair tied up, with a white cloud shirt inside, looking somewhat lazy and casual.
Everyone's eyes focused on Han Feng, observing this Alliance Leader who had not appeared in public for a long time.
"Everyone, how have you been these past few years?"
"Alliance Leader, the Black-Corner Region has been peaceful and stable these years, and the frequency of battles has been greatly reduced. The lives of subordinates are much easier than before. We no longer have to worry about being assassinated by certain forces. All this is thanks to the laws formulated by the Alliance Leader that allow us to enjoy the peace today."
A City Lord stood up first and flattered Han Feng.
"Good, good. This is exactly what I expected. However, for the Black-Corner Region to achieve what it has today, I still have to thank everyone for being willing to abide by the rules I set. Without your cooperation, the Black-Corner Region would probably still be full of blood and chaos like before. For this, I want to thank you."
Han Feng raised his wine glass.
"Thank you all for your support today. I hope that in the days to come, we can advance hand in hand and create a better future together."
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and they raised their wine glasses one after another.
After drinking, Han Feng clapped his hands. The carefully selected dance troupe began to dance gracefully, and the accompanying band also played magnificent movements.
Everyone was immersed in the beautiful performance, not noticing at all that the smile on Mo Tianxing's face was slowly fading.
The banquet program was very good, and Han Feng's smile was also very gentle, making many City Lords who originally had doubts relax at this moment.
But only Mo Tianxing knew clearly in his heart that the beauty now was all fake.
As the banquet continued, the smiles on everyone's faces became more presumptuous, and Mo Tianxing became more anxious.
Han Feng showed no sign of tearing off the mask, which meant that the task of tearing off the mask now fell entirely on him.
Once he did this, it would be him, Mo Tianxing, who would bear everyone's fire next.
But Mo Tianxing had no way to refuse such a calculation.
Even the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was given away; bearing the anger of some weaklings didn't matter.
Mo Tianxing suppressed his inner impatience and waited for Han Feng's order.
Finally, when the banquet was coming to an end and the wine on the table was almost finished, Han Feng smiled and clapped his hands.
"Today's gathering was very pleasant. I am very happy that everyone could open their hearts at the banquet. Unfortunately, happy times are always short."
"Before the banquet ends, I have some words I want to say. Please listen carefully."
Han Feng's eyes changed, and a torch-like gaze swept across every City Lord in the audience.
"I heard that recently some people feel that I haven't appeared for too long, so they have become somewhat slack, indifferent to the laws, and returned to their old trade?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone woke up instantly. Some City Lords who had drunk too much old wine broke out in a cold sweat on their backs but still chose to pretend to be dizzy and fell onto the table drunkenly.
Han Feng's gentle voice became like a sharp blade in the cold wind at this moment, hurting everyone's skin.
"If these people step forward voluntarily, I can consider a lighter punishment."
"After all, you are all old timers in the Black-Corner Region. I won't go too far."
Everyone sat in their seats, not moving a muscle.
What kind of joke is this?
Surrender voluntarily?
Just say this kind of thing to a three-year-old child.
The atmosphere in the venue dropped to freezing point instantly, and the previous cheerful laughter disappeared just like that.
Just as the pent-up silence was about to rise to a critical point, Mo Tianxing stood up.
"Alliance Leader, I voluntarily admit my mistake. The Black Emperor Sect has indeed done some wrong things in the past few years. I didn't stop them in time. I am guilty!"
At this moment, everyone on the field hadn't figured out the situation yet.
Why did Mo Tianxing suddenly expose his own background?
Is he really stupid enough to think that if he says it, Han Feng will let him go?
"Oh? Does Sect Leader Mo have proof for these words?"
"Naturally!"
Mo Tianxing took out the scroll Han Feng gave him before and handed it back to Han Feng.
The corner of Han Feng's mouth twitched slightly as he reached out to take it.
He spread out the scroll, pretended to look at it, then furrowed his brows.
"What great courage!"
Han Feng closed the scroll directly and smashed it on Mo Tianxing's head.
Bang!
A wisp of blood flowed down from Mo Tianxing's forehead. His originally upright body looked a bit wretched at this moment.
"Mo Tianxing, you are an old timer in the Black-Corner Region and one of the few Dou Ancestors. Even you committed such evil deeds that destroy the laws of the Black-Corner Region. Do you really think I won't punish you?"
Mo Tianxing fell to his knees with a thud.
"I am guilty. Please punish me, Alliance Leader!"
"Hmph, tell me yourself, how should I punish you?"
Han Feng said coldly.
"I am willing to resign from the position of one of the Ten Great Elders of the Black-Corner Region, resign from the position of City Lord of Black Emperor City, and obey the Alliance Leader's dispatch. I will capture the guilty people on the scroll one by one. Even if it is my own son, I will bring him to Feng City and hand him over to the Alliance Leader for disposal!"
Mo Tianxing kowtowed heavily, blood staining the ground red.
"I hope the Alliance Leader will give me a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Han Feng sighed heavily.
"Alright, since you have the determination to change, then I will give you another chance."
Mo Tianxing stood up immediately and bowed with hands clasped.
"Thank you, Alliance Leader."
"Sit down."
However, Mo Tianxing seemed not to have heard Han Feng's words and still stood straight.
"Did you not hear my words?"
Han Feng's voice became a bit stricter.
"Alliance Leader, subordinate still has important matters to report!"
Mo Tianxing raised his face, a trace of bloodlust and pleasure flashing in his eyes.
"I want to report!"
"Blood Sect Leader Fan Lao! Privately searched for hundreds of women with extreme Yin blood Qi to draw blood and suck marrow, just to improve his technique cultivation."
Bang!
Fan Lao slapped the table and stood up directly.
"You are farting!"
"I have never done what you said!"
"I, Fan Lao, do like to suck blood, but under the Alliance Leader's call, my Blood Sect members only use beast blood for cultivation."
Fan Lao turned to Han Feng, bowed with hands clasped, and said, "Alliance Leader, Mo Tianxing is spitting blood on people. You must see clearly!"
Han Feng frowned.
"Mo Tianxing, do you have evidence for what you said? If you falsely accuse others without reason, I will convict you again."
Mo Tianxing glanced at Fan Lao with contempt, then bowed to Han Feng and said, "Alliance Leader, I have preserved all this evidence. Back then, he took away a daughter of an ordinary family from my Black Emperor City. I still have a witness for this matter!"
"Mo Tianxing, don't go too far! That time it was clearly you and..."
Fan Lao stopped halfway through his sentence. He noticed Han Feng's gaze looking at him, and cold sweat instantly seeped out of his back.
"It was clearly you and... and your subordinate framing me!"
Mo Tianxing continued: "Alliance Leader, I am also guilty of this matter. That time happened to be a transaction between me and the Blood Sect. I bought a batch of Yin Blood Paste to refine pills. Fan Lao loves petty gains. He took away an ordinary woman. I didn't want to sour the relationship between the two sides because of this, so I didn't pursue it."
Fan Lao panicked completely.
He didn't expect that Mo Tianxing would rather expose his own shortcomings to expose him.
"Moreover, it is very easy to confirm this matter. I think with a greedy person like Fan Lao, the women in the sect should not have been used up yet, right?"
Han Feng's expression grew cold. He waved his hand, and a figure instantly flew out from the shadows, stepping on the air and speeding towards the direction of the Blood Sect.
"Dou Ancestor!"
Fan Lao's face turned pale instantly.
Han Feng actually sent a Dou Ancestor to the Blood Sect. It was over now...
"Mo Tianxing, you harmed me!"
Endless anger spread in Fan Lao's heart. A mass of blood Qi rose from his body. He raised his hand and shot a blood spear at Mo Tianxing.
However, before the attack arrived, a puppet descended from the sky, shattering the flying blood spear with one kick and capturing Fan Lao at the same time.
Mo Tianxing let out a breath of bad air in his heart.
At first, he was very uncomfortable that only he was punished, but now that he dragged someone down with him, Mo Tianxing instantly felt a burst of comfort in his heart.
Shared joy is better than solitary joy. Let's go to hell together!
"I report..."
Mo Tianxing's voice sounded again, like a heavy hammer, hitting hard in the heart of every City Lord.
Among the people present, how many had a clear conscience?
Half an hour later, more than half of the people in the venue were kneeling on the ground.
Han Feng looked at the unsatisfied Mo Tianxing, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
I asked you to report someone with weight, but you dragged them all down. Truly worthy of being you, Sect Leader Mo!
Never disappointed me.
"You have disappointed me greatly!"
Han Feng looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground with complex eyes.
"I gave you great power to let you continue managing your cities, but the result? You failed my trust!"
At this time, a City Lord with clean conduct stood up and said, "Alliance Leader, although the laws you promulgated did not completely prohibit these evil deeds, they have greatly reduced their occurrence. I think the efforts of these years are meaningful."
Han Feng nodded.
"That being said, punishment is still due. Those kneeling, stay in the Feng City prison for a while."
Han Feng said in a deep voice.
"I will make a decision after I investigate the charges clearly."
