After half a month of recuperation, along with the Worms of Spirit's repairs to their bodies, the four sixth-tier magical beasts parasitized by Amon finally recovered most of their combat strength.
These four magical beasts were the Tiger Wolf Beast, Gale Eagle, Lightning Turtle, and Tiered Water Rabbit.
While recuperating, many Amon also infiltrated Maple City, parasitizing and controlling some people.
Amon had originally wanted to try the Flame of Destiny's ability to burn destiny and replace some people, but it failed and even suffered a backlash.
The clone that attempted the replacement was directly erased by an unknown force.
This made Amon even more cautious about the Domain of Destiny. The rules of the World are different, and existing experience cannot be directly applied here.
This was just a small interlude and did not affect Amon's preparations against Han Feng.
On a dark and windy night, Amon's main body swaggered into Maple City with the four magical beasts.
However, the surrounding guards and the few scattered pedestrians on the road seemed not to notice them at all.
If someone observed carefully, they would find that the people around them unconsciously made a gesture of pinching their right eye socket. As Amon brought the four magical beasts into the city, their lips curled slightly, revealing a restrained smile.
The risk of ambushing Han Feng was not great, but it required sufficient power support. To maximize the success rate, Amon decided to go in person with his main body.
In the original work, Xiao Yan, with the strength of a peak Dou King, used the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, formed by the fusion of two different Heavenly Flames, to directly defeat Han Feng, who had improved further in strength five years later and had one foot in the Dou Ancestor realm.
Amon was stronger than Xiao Yan at that time; his main body was Dou Emperor strength, and his full-level clone, at its maximum volume, was equivalent to a peak Dou King. He also possessed two different Heavenly Flames, controlled four sixth-tier magical beasts to hold the line, and had made thorough preparations, intending to ambush rather than confront directly...
If he still couldn't take out Han Feng, then it could only be said that it was the arrangement of Destiny.
Han Feng, who had been drawn by the huge explosion earlier and went to investigate in the deep mountains around Jia Nan Academy, confirmed from the residual aura at the scene and his own Sea Heart Flame's perception that the person who caused such a commotion also possessed a Heavenly Flame.
This ignited his intense greed. However, since he hadn't identified the specific person, there had been no further action.
Nevertheless, he had already sent messages to the Sect Masters of Sects such as the Blood Sanctify Sect, Earth Flame Sect, and Eight Gates, indicating that he might need their assistance after some time and asking them to prepare to help.
In addition to this, even the top two experts on the "Black List," Gold and Silver Elders, had temporarily come to Maple City to stay for a period at his invitation.
Amon received news from the clone lurking beside Han Feng and felt a little troubled.
Gold and Silver Elders were both peak Dou Emperor experts. Due to the special cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques they practiced, which complemented each other, the two could fight a Dou Ancestor expert when working together.
However, Amon did not change his plan because of them. Two peak Dou Emperors, even if they were in sync, were ultimately not Dou Sects. Their reaction speed and ability to handle sudden situations would be significantly inferior.
As long as he quickly killed Han Feng before they could react, it would be fine. Gold and Silver Elders would not fight to the death with him for a dead Han Feng.
Moreover, Amon only worried about Han Feng escaping; in terms of combat power, he was not afraid of Gold and Silver Elders.
After a brief thought, Amon decided to use a clone to stall these two Black List experts.
No need for combat, just needing to chat a bit, slightly distract them, so that they would be a few seconds slower in reacting when Han Feng was attacked.
To be safe, it's better to be prepared to fight them simultaneously... Thinking this, Amon placed one Worm of Spirit carrying the Azure Lotus Core Flame and one carrying the Flame of Destiny on the clone that was going to talk to Gold and Silver Elders.
If necessary, the two Worms of Spirit could aggregate at any time and unleash the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus to force them both to defend themselves.
This Amon took out a black robe with a large hood from his space ring, put it on, chuckled, and walked towards Gold and Silver Elders's residence.
Amon's main body, meanwhile, walked towards a large mansion in the city center.
For powerful individuals like Gold and Silver Elders who could threaten him, Han Feng also maintained a certain level of caution, so he arranged their living quarters at a certain distance from his own mansion.
Gold and Silver Elders were also very satisfied with this arrangement. Han Feng was wary and vigilant of them, but why shouldn't they be wary of Han Feng?
Maintaining a certain distance, leaving appropriate space for both sides, was the proper arrangement.
...
In an ancient-style pavilion, an old man in a golden robe and an old man in a silver robe were each sitting on a futon, meditating and resting.
The energy of the World gathered with their breathing. A faint current circulated between the two of them.
After completing a cycle, they simultaneously opened their eyes and looked in a certain direction.
"Who?"
"Hehehe... Are you the Gold and Silver Elders, rumored on the Black List to be able to fight a Dou Ancestor?"
Accompanied by a sinister laugh, a figure in a black robe, enveloped in a faint black mist, appeared before them.
Around him, the space had an extremely faint, almost imperceptible ripple.
The two who were on the verge of breaking through to Dou Ancestor naturally knew that it was distorted space.
A Dou Ancestor expert! This black-robed man who appeared before them was actually a Dou Ancestor expert!
Gold and Silver Elders's muscles tensed, and their eyes were filled with solemnity.
Gold Elder spoke with a heavy tone, "What business do you have with us brothers?"
The black-robed man seemed not to notice Gold and Silver Elders's faint hostility and wariness, saying in a relaxed tone:
"I'd like to ask you two, how long have you been stuck at the peak Dou Emperor realm?"
Gold and Silver Elders's pupils contracted, and they had some guesses about what the other party was going to say next, their breathing quickening slightly.
Indeed, as they expected, the black-robed man continued: "Do you want to become Dou Sects?"
The two exchanged glances, and Old Yin replied, "Among those stuck at this step, who doesn't want to cross over? You bring this up... do you have a way to help us?"
"Of course..." Under the black robe, Amon curved a smile.
As long as they were interested in the topic he brought up and focused their attention on it, then a little later, when his main body made a move on Han Feng, their speed in going to rescue would be a beat slower.
It might not be much slower, but often, an instant's difference can be the distance between life and death.
"Have you heard of Soul Hall?"
Soul Hall... This organization, with a great reputation in the Central Continent, was not well-known in some remote areas, but the Black-Corner Region had people from various places, and Gold and Silver Elders had also received some news from the Central Continent.
"Are you from Soul Hall?" Gold Elder grew even more wary.
"That's right. Don't be so wary. Our Soul Hall does have a bad reputation, and what those rumors say is basically true... However, that's for outsiders.
"Once you truly become one of us, you'll find that joining Soul Hall is a pretty good choice...
"If our organization didn't offer generous treatment, how else could we attract one expert after another to join?"
Amon imitated Protector Xiao's tone, speaking with a hint of pride.
