"Want to escape? That's a bit too naive."
At that moment, Rofu appeared in front of Duan Huan, blocking his path to escape, his eyes filled with hatred as he stared at Duan Huan. Concerned that Huo Feng might notice him, Duan Huan hurriedly summoned his Contract Beast, Blazing Blade Fire Lizard, sending it charging towards Rofu while he took the opportunity to flee.
Meanwhile, Huo Feng and the others were focused on observing Duan Chongyang's condition and had not noticed Duan Huan's attempt to escape. At that moment, after being attacked by Zhao Alliance Leader on the head and chest, Duan Chongyang was kneeling on the ground with a pained expression, as if struggling against something.
Huo Feng looked at Zhao Alliance Leader and asked in confusion, "Teacher, what's going on with him? Why is he like this?"
Zhao Alliance Leader gazed at Duan Chongyang, his expression somewhat perplexed. He slowly said, "This person seems to have been subjected to the long-lost technique of Soul Transfer. Moreover, he possesses the abilities of the former Xiaoyao Fortress, which is quite strange."
Huo Feng was left confused by Zhao Alliance Leader's words; terms like "Soul Transfer" and the former abilities of Xiaoyao Fortress completely baffled him.
Zhao Alliance Leader continued, "When Xiaoyao Fortress eliminated the previous power, that faction was wiped out overnight by their enemies. Duan Huan's predecessor, Duan Lie, was a high elder of that faction. He dismantled that faction and renamed it Xiaoyao Fortress, publicly declaring that they would not continue any previous rules or practices and would have no further ties to that faction."
"Looking back now, it seems things were not as they appeared. Duan Lie must have plotted treachery and secretly orchestrated their destruction. I suspect the Duan Family has some special means to extract their souls and preserve them outside their bodies, then used their Soul Transfer technique to create puppets."
"Fortunately, Medicine God had extensive connections. His records mentioned methods to counteract their near-immortal techniques known as Combat Techniques; otherwise, we would truly be helpless against him."
Just as Zhao Alliance Leader spoke, Duan Chongyang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably. At that moment, a shadowy figure began to emerge from his body.
The shadow gradually became clearer, taking the form of a thin old man. The old man looked at Huo Feng and Zhao Alliance Leader while they cautiously observed the movements of this Ethereal Old Man.
Suddenly, the Ethereal Old Man spoke in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for freeing me."
Then his voice filled with regret and unwillingness: "But my kin's souls are still being tormented by those bastards. I am sorry for them; I was deceived by that bastard Duan Lie. You must remember never to enter that forbidden place; if you go there, you will surely not return."
Just as Huo Feng was about to inquire about the forbidden place, the old man's voice grew fainter and his form increasingly ethereal until he completely vanished.
Huo Feng and the others refocused their attention on Duan Chongyang, who suddenly appeared transformed—his hair and beard were white, his face covered in wrinkles resembling tree bark.
At this moment, he was aimlessly crawling in one direction on the ground, his gaze vacant, occasionally letting out a silly laugh of "heh heh."
Just then, Huo Feng walked in front of Duan Chongyang, blocking his path. Huo Feng looked at the dazed Duan Chongyang, who was grinning foolishly at him, and pointed to himself, asking, "Duan Chongyang, do you remember who I am?"
Duan Chongyang remained on the ground, staring at Huo Feng with a silly smile. Seeing Duan Chongyang's aged and wrinkled face up close suddenly filled Huo Feng with a sense of desolation.
After all, they had arrived here together. Thinking about how Duan Chongyang once commanded respect and was feared by all, yet now had become so pitiful upon arriving here; this made Huo Feng even more determined that only by possessing absolute power could one avoid being toyed with and trampled upon by others.
At this moment, Zhao Alliance Leader approached Huo Feng and said, "He shouldn't have much time left. Generally speaking, once the 'Soul Transfer' is undone, the host body is doomed to die."
Looking at Duan Chongyang's current pitiful state, Huo Feng felt a pang of compassion. He turned his back and pointed his right hand towards Duan Chongyang.
"Star Blade"
A silver-white Origin Force Starlight Blade instantly pierced into Duan Chongyang's forehead, leaving a bloody hole on his brow.
Only then did Huo Feng look in the direction where Duan Huan had been earlier and realized that Duan Huan was already gone. At this moment, Zhao Alliance Leader also noticed that Rofu was missing and worriedly said, "That kid Rofu wouldn't have gone off alone to chase after Duan Huan, would he? I hope he doesn't act impulsively."
Then Zhao Alliance Leader turned to some members of the Free Alliance who had come along and said, "You all quickly send out signals to let everyone try to locate Rofu."
Huo Feng went alone to the icy surface and summoned the Ice Puppet. He then spoke to the ice, "Ice, I'm leaving the Ice Puppet here to help you. You all quickly take care of them and wait for me here."
"Big Brother, where are you going?" Ice looked at Huo Feng with concern, knowing that he would be facing Duan Huan alone.
Huo Feng smiled at Ice and said, "Don't worry, trust me."
Without paying them any more mind, he soared into the air towards Xiaoyao Fortress.
At this moment, Zhao Alliance Leader hurriedly followed him into the air and came beside Huo Feng with a smile, saying, "What's this? You’re leaving your teacher behind? Do you think I'm holding you back?"
Huo Feng already knew that the forbidden area of Xiaoyao Fortress was peculiar, and this time the shadowy old man emphasized it again. Huo Feng did not want Zhao Alliance Leader to take risks as well, but since he had followed, Huo Feng knew it was pointless to stop him and could only smile, saying, "Master, let's have a race."
Huo Feng kept Zhao Alliance Leader slightly behind him as they flew over Xiaoyao Fortress.
Sure enough, Rofu chased Duan Huan back to Xiaoyao Fortress, where Rofu was surrounded by a group of people. However, Huo Feng and Zhao Alliance Leader did not stop to help him, as they had not found Duan Huan here, and Rofu was more than capable of handling those people alone.
At this moment, Huo Feng led Zhao Alliance Leader towards the top-level forbidden area. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the eleventh level. Huo Feng and Zhao Alliance Leader both halted.
Zhao Alliance Leader looked at the black-and-white scene inside and couldn't help but furrow his brows. He sensed intuitively that this place was not simple; he had never seen such a sight in the forbidden area of Xiaoyao Fortress.
However, Zhao Alliance Leader was curious about how Huo Feng knew about this place. Just then, Huo Feng suddenly spoke up, "Master, I have been inside before. It’s very strange; it can control a person's mind and has many unknown things. I think it would be better if I go in alone while you keep watch outside. What do you think?"
"How can that be? A teacher shouldn't let their disciple take risks! Besides, you're still young. I'm much older; let me go instead," Zhao Alliance Leader firmly rejected Huo Feng's suggestion.
With no other choice, Huo Feng had to compromise, but both sides needed to make concessions. Huo Feng said, "Then how about this? We go in together. After all, I have some experience from my previous visit, but I need to go first."
After repeated requests from Huo Feng, they finally reached an agreement and proceeded according to his suggestion.
With Huo Feng in front and Zhao Alliance Leader behind, they entered the mysterious forbidden area together.
Not long after entering, Huo Feng felt a strong and inexplicable will pressing against his own. He quickly resisted with all his might and also had Vankun assisting him from the shadows.
At this moment, Huo Feng's main focus remained on Zhao Alliance Leader as he cautiously led him toward the center of the forbidden area.
About halfway through their journey, Zhao Alliance Leader suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled, nearly falling over. Huo Feng immediately supported him and noticed that Zhao Alliance Leader was reaching his limit. A gentle Origin Force flowed through Huo Feng's hands as he pushed against Zhao Alliance Leader's waist, sending him out of the forbidden area.
Now Huo Feng could fully unleash his strength and quickly headed toward the altar.
When Huo Feng arrived at the altar, he discovered that a hole had opened up in it, with four tiger-shaped statues surrounding the opening.
Outside, all the black and white plants and rocks seemed to be absorbing the Origin Force, flowing into the cave in either black or white.
Huo Feng tried to slowly approach the cave entrance. When Huo Feng was about five yards away from the four black tiger-shaped statues, the statues moved, turning to face Huo Feng directly.
Seeing this scene, Huo Feng immediately stepped back and assumed a defensive posture. At that moment, the four statues charged towards Huo Feng, spewing black flames from their mouths.
Huo Feng was worried about what Duan Huan might be doing inside and didn't dare to delay. He pressed his hands down toward the ground.
"Star Domain Clone"
Four black Star Domains trapped the four statues inside, and at that moment, Huo Feng quickly darted into the cave.
As soon as Huo Feng entered, he felt a chilling dark aura. He immediately activated the light from three Star Spirit Fragments on his body to resist this dark energy.
At that moment, deep within the cave, Duan Huan was channeling Origin Force into a silvery fragment. Countless black shadows swirled around him, and suddenly, the White Fragment in front of him began to glow intensely, giving off a sense of wanting to escape.
Duan Huan's heart jolted, and he quickly applied Origin Force to suppress it. However, the White Fragment's glow only intensified, far exceeding Duan Huan's expectations.
