Fatherly Love and Filial Piety

After the Earth Demon Puppet beat the Black-Robed Protector to death, Xiao Feng retrieved a specially crafted soul-sealing artifact to imprison the protector's soul.

As for the Black-Robed Protector's twisted and deformed corpse, Xiao Feng decided to keep it as a material for reviving Venerable Tianhuo.

Since establishing the Supreme Alliance, Xiao Feng had been fully dedicated to acquiring the materials needed to refine the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill. Now, he had finally gathered all the ingredients.

For the seventh-tier magical beast essence blood, Xiao Feng had already chosen his target: the dried corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix that appeared in the original story.

During its lifetime, the Sky Demon Phoenix had reached the peak of the Dou Ancestor realm, and its beast bloodline was perfectly preserved, making it an ideal material for Venerable Tianhuo's revival.

In any case, Xiao Feng's ambition to dominate the Black-Corner Domain would inevitably lead to a confrontation with the Black Emperor Sect. It would be a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

After storing the Black-Robed Protector's corpse, Xiao Feng summoned his Imperial Armament, Dimensional Matrix, and teleported himself and the Earth Demon Puppet back to the Demon Flame Valley.

When Xiao Feng reunited with Qing Lin and the others, Eagle Mountain Old Man and his men had already been subdued.

Eagle Mountain Old Man, a Four-Star Dou Ancestor expert and an unrestrained loner, was nearly impossible to subdue.

Thus, Xiao Feng didn't bother wasting time and killed him outright, obtaining millions of merit points from his death. Additionally, Eagle Mountain Old Man's corpse and soul could be used to refine a new Earth Demon Puppet, so it wasn't a total waste.

After dealing with Eagle Mountain Old Man, Xiao Feng turned his attention to Han Feng and his group.

Without hesitation, Xiao Feng severed Han Feng's head with a single wave of his hand and then used Curse Spirit Manipulation to forcibly enslave his soul.

Although Han Feng's character was despicable, his alchemy skills were undeniably exceptional as the personal disciple of Yao Lao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hailed as the "Number One Alchemist of the Black-Corner Domain."

With his expertise as a peak sixth-tier alchemist, Han Feng could easily refine the Sovereign Pill and Breakthrough Pill.

In the original storyline, Han Feng had even managed to craft a seventh-tier pill, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, through unconventional means!

Since the newly established Supreme Alliance lacked high-tier alchemists, Xiao Feng wasn't about to let Han Feng go.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng's acquisition of Freddy's Nightmare allowed him to strengthen his soul every night by absorbing the fear of others. This granted him a soul strength comparable to a peak sixth-tier alchemist, enabling him to subdue Han Feng's soul.

After successfully enslaving Han Feng's soul, Xiao Feng turned to the gravely injured Golden and Silver Elders and others.(Mister Golden and Mister Silver)

Given that Xiao Feng's current cultivation level was only at Three-Star Dou Emperor, he couldn't use the Ghost King Bloodline to control the Golden and Silver Elders. Instead, he directly employed the Devouring Beast's power to drain their life essence.

Thanks to the life essence contributed by the Golden and Silver Elders, Xiao Feng no longer had to worry about his own vitality. He transformed all the strong fighters below Three-Star Dou Emperor into ghosts.

Seeing everyone turned into ghosts, only then did Little Fairy Doctor cure Fan Lao and the others of their poison, awakening them from their unconscious state.

Under the absolute suppression of the Ghost King Bloodline, everyone quickly accepted the reality and knelt on one knee, exclaiming in unison, "Greetings, Alliance Leader!"

"You may rise."

Xiao Feng's eyes flashed with a trace of brilliance as he raised his right hand in a casual gesture. "There's no need to be overly anxious. While your lives are indeed within my control, as long as you remain loyal, I won't cut off my own arm.

"The spiritual blood I've bestowed upon you not only imposes certain limitations but also grants you considerable benefits.

"You now possess regenerative powers comparable to those of magical beasts and extended lifespans rivaling theirs. In the future, advancing to Dou Ancestor, or even Dou Venerate, won't be out of reach."

Hearing this, the initially reluctant group felt somewhat comforted.

After skillfully placating everyone, Xiao Feng began assigning tasks.

First were Fan Lao, Yin Bone Elder, Iron Crow, Su Mei, Yan, and Yuan Yi. As the heads of various major factions, they held absolute authority within their respective groups, minimizing potential issues.

As long as Fan Lao and the others pledged allegiance, their subordinates naturally wouldn't dare object.

Xiao Feng didn't plan to interfere much with their factions, only requiring them to rebrand their forces as branches of the Supreme Alliance.

For example, Fan Lao's Blood Sect would be renamed the Supreme Alliance Blood Sect Branch, or simply "Blood Sect Branch."

Similarly, Su Mei's Rakshasa Gate would be renamed "Rakshasa Branch."

Next came the Golden and Silver Elders, Han Feng, and Ban Lao's subordinates, which proved more complicated to handle.

Although Han Feng's trusted Dou King followers had been subdued, they alone couldn't reclaim their leaders' territories.

When Han Feng and the others attended the auction, they wouldn't have left all their powerhouses behind, but enough would have stayed to guard the headquarters.

Thus, Xiao Feng decided to personally visit their territories, turning any Dou King and Dou Spirit experts he encountered into ghosts to prevent rebellion.

Several days later

Black Emperor City

Led by Mo Ya, the Young Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect, Xiao Feng and his group swaggered into Black Emperor City.

Mo Ya was fortunate; his cultivation level of Two-Star Dou Emperor allowed Xiao Feng to control him with the Ghost King Bloodline. Instead of killing him, Xiao Feng intended to use him as an inside agent to subjugate the Black Emperor Sect.

After entering the bustling Black Emperor City, Xiao Feng didn't linger to shop with Little Fairy Doctor and the others but went straight with Mo Ya to meet Mo Tianxing.

Mo Tianxing, the Black Emperor Sect's leader, was a Four-Star Dou Ancestor expert, slightly weaker than Eagle Mountain Old Man.

Without wasting words, Xiao Feng summoned the Earth Demon Puppet to instantly kill Mo Tianxing.

Seeing his father slain, Mo Ya felt a mix of sorrow and delight.

After all, Xiao Feng had promised to support Mo Ya as the new leader of the Black Emperor Sect after eliminating Mo Tianxing.

In a long-standing faction like the Black Emperor Sect, the position of Sect Leader was more prestigious than even that of the Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire.

The relationship between Mo Tianxing and Mo Ya mirrored that of an emperor and crown prince.

For the crown prince to ascend the throne, he must wait for the emperor to die.

But with Mo Tianxing, a Dou Ancestor expert, his lifespan far exceeded that of Dou Emperor cultivators. It wouldn't be surprising if Mo Ya died of old age while Mo Tianxing still lived!

Who could endure being a crown prince for seventy years?
