— Chapter 252 —

Han Yuan, Queen Medusa, Yafei, and Hai Bodong flew under the beautiful moonlight. Their destination is the Crimson Death Desert at the border of the Black Corner Region and the vast Tager Desert, which is ‘naturally’ separated by a massive ravine spanning countless miles.

Crimson Death Desert is a dead zone to many adventurers, as this place is not only devoid of water, but also maintains an extreme climate for over a thousand years because of how dry it is.

However, once in a blue moon, a massive storm swept the Crimson Death Desert. And according to the legend, a rare and precious treasure might be born after that same storm.

Of course, that is no mere legend now that Han Yuan and others knew the birth of Heavenly Flame had happened in the Crimson Death Desert.

“This ravine is deep, I can’t see the bottom of it.” After flying for a while, they finally arrived at the separating line between two deserts, and Yafei couldn’t help but comment about it.

“Can you see how deep it goes, Xiao Yuan?” She asked, knowing Han Yuan had cultivated Heavenly Demon’s Eyes to a greater realm than her.

Han Yuan looked down curiously before commenting, “Hmm, this ravine is weird. It is actually not as deep as you imagined, maybe a few kilometers deep, but the real problem is the spatial power and chaotic space at the bottom.”

“It’s probably a wormhole, or an entrance to a small realm.”

“Are you saying there is a small realm below?” Hai Bodong’s eyes lit up in excitement.

Han Yuan chuckled, “Yeah, but I don’t know what kind of small realm, as my eyes can’t see anything behind the spatial veil.”

As overpowered as the Eyes of Truth can be, there are still limitations. If the observable object is not within his range, getting information about it is tough.

“My tribe might have some records about this ravine. I will look for it for you later.” Queen Medusa chimed in with a smile.

Han Yuan smiled back, “Thanks.”

“We can explore this again in the future.”

“For now…”

“Let’s focus on getting the Heavenly Flame.” His silver eyes flashed with a cold glint.

“They are here,” said Yafei.

Five masked figures appeared in the sky, landing before Han Yuan quietly and then kneeling.

“Young Master.” 5x.

Each masked figure is a Dou King Expert affiliated with Martial Union, and their mask is unique and symbolized in animal-like relief. There is a cat, an owl, a snake, a mouse, and a ghost.

Han Yuan nodded and waved his hand, “Get up, how are Han Feng and his friends?”

The cat-masked Dou King responded, “Han Feng and his people entered the Crimson Death Desert an hour ago. They are currently setting up a barrier to contain the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame.”

“As the Young Master ordered, we have observed them from afar, and so far, they haven’t made their moves yet.”

“Good,” Han Yuan nodded calmly. “Ghost, have you confirmed the Dou Ancestor Expert that Han Feng brought with him?”

The ghost-masked Dou King replied, “I’ve only identified one Dou Ancestor Expert in their whole journey, and it was none other than Old Tiger Demon.”

“Old Tiger Demon?” Han Yuan was unfamiliar with this name, maybe because he hadn’t remembered much detail of the plot and side characters.

The ghost-masked Dou King nodded and continued, “Old Tiger Demon is an old monster in the Black Corner Region, and he recently broke through to the 1-Star Dou Ancestor Realm with Han Feng’s help.”

“However, I can’t confirm if there are any more Dou Ancestor Realms in their group.”

“The only exception is Mister Silver and Mister Gold, the twin peaks of the Dou Emperor Experts. When fighting together, their strength rivaled that of the Dou Ancestor Realm.”

“Mister Silver and Mister Gold.” Unlike the Old Tiger Demon, Han Yuan found these two names much more familiar.

“There is also an implication that a well-known Dou Ancestor Expert, Mo Tian Xing, from the Black Emperor Sect might help Han Feng tonight, but I can’t confirm this matter either.” The ghost-masked Dou King finished his reply helplessly.

Queen Medusa, Yafei, and Hai Bodong, who had been listening quietly, couldn’t help but voice out their thoughts, “Counting the Mister Silver and Gold, that’s three Dou Ancestor Powerhouses.”

“Isn’t that good? More people to fight?” Han Yuan gave them a harmless smile.

“…” Hai Bodong.

Queen Medusa snorted, “Don’t tell me you’re afraid, puny ice emperor? As expected of a pussy!”

“Who did you call pussy!” Hai Bodong was angry. “Hmph, so what if the other side has three Dou Ancestor Experts? My Frost Dragon Halberd will slay them all!”

Queen Medusa smirked wickedly, “Very well, then you deal with two, no, three of them while I fight the strongest one myself.”

“Uh…” Hai Bodong fell into awkwardness. “Well, I think we can plan this a little bit more.”

“Oh, so you wanted to fight the strongest Dou Ancestor Enemy?” Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes.

“I…” Hai Bodong knew he was fucked.

“Leave the newly advanced Dou Ancestor and that silver-gold fellows to me!”

Queen Medusa harrumphed, “I thought so.”

Han Yuan shook his head at their childish banter before commenting, “We haven’t confirmed everything yet. Don’t forget our enemy isn’t only the Dou Ancestors.”

“Han Feng also has many Dou Emperor Powerhouses on his side.”

“This…” Realizing this, Queen Medusa and Hai Bodong fell into silence.

Yafei giggled, “But with your current prowess, a bunch of Dou Emperors shouldn’t be a problem, right, Xiao Yuan?”

“At the end of the day, you can always use that!”

Unlike Queen Medusa and Hai Bodong, who had only known Han Yuan for over a week, Yafei knew many of Han Yuan’s qualities.

One of them is his ability to refine deadly poison, even more lethal than Xiao Yixian’s current Woeful Poison Body could produce.

While it is dirty, it gets the job done efficiently and quickly.

Han Yuan caught what Yafei meant and replied, “I can refine poison that could kill Dou Emperor, but creating it in bulk and with limited time is not possible.”

“Y-You can make poison that can kill Dou Emperors?” Hai Bodong gulped in fear.

‘Just how much secret did you have exactly, Han Yuan?’ Queen Medusa couldn’t help but lick her lips.

Han Yuan nodded, “Given enough time. It’s not that difficult.”

Since Han Yuan owned the Sky Poison Pearl and half of the Divine Throne of Immortal Scourge, creating and manipulating nearly all types of poison wasn’t so difficult.

“Unfortunately, our enemy is Han Feng. His ‘Medicine Emperor’ title is not for nothing because he really has the skills to back it up. He should have some high-level detoxification pills.”

“Then, again, he shouldn’t have enough for all his partners, right?” Yafei raised a point.

“Mm, that’s why I would make a poison that can weaken their Dou Qi and body instead.” Han Yuan glanced at the five-masked figures. “Cat, owl, snake, mouse, ghost, you five will participate in the fight.”

“But not directly. Once I clashed with Han Feng, your job is to spread the poison I made.”

“Then, protect Yafei.”

“Understood!” 5x.

The five-masked figures didn’t question Han Yuan’s decision. They have a blind trust in him. It’s not only because they are grateful for Han Yuan’s help in their darkest day, but also because they had witnessed Han Yuan’s miracle-like powers themselves.

If there is someone on the Dou Qi Continent who could make a miracle happen, then it must be their Young Master!

“Let’s continue our journey.” Han Yuan snapped his finger. “I will make the poison on the way there.”

Then, under Han Yuan’s lead, they continued their journey deep into the Crimson Death Desert.
