Han Feng's soul remained conscious and rational. He looked at the person in front of him, clad in a black classical robe, and suppressed his anger, asking in a calm voice:
"Who are you? Are you from the Soul Hall? I also have a collaboration with the Soul Hall. If you have any requests, you can just state them directly; there's no need to go this far."
"Soul Hall? Hmm... I suppose so. I'm still an intern at the Soul Hall, actually," Amon replied with a light chuckle.
Han Feng said somewhat urgently, "Elder Mu Gu, an Honored Elder of your Soul Hall, is my Senior Martial Uncle. Furthermore, I have often cooperated with the Soul Hall's actions, so I can be considered half an insider.
"So, please release me. I can pretend that what happened before didn't occur, and I can give you benefits. I am a Six-Rank Alchemist. As long as you release me, I will refine medicine for you for free for life.
"With your strength and status, you absolutely don't need to worry about me seeking revenge or anything like that."
"Senior Martial Uncle? Cooperated with actions?" Amon raised his right hand, pinched his monocle, and revealed a slightly mocking smile:
"The cooperation you speak of, does it refer to cooperating with our Soul Hall to ambush and kill your teacher, Venerable Yao?"
Han Feng's pupils constricted, his mind shaken, and he spoke with a hint of disbelief:
"You know about that connection? Then why are you still detaining my soul? My relationship with the Soul Hall isn't bad. If you need anything, we can discuss it completely."
"It has nothing to do with the Soul Hall. I want to use your soul to make a deal with Yao Chen. I imagine he'll be quite surprised to see you like this," Amon's lips curved slightly upwards.
"Yao Chen? That old immortal is still alive?"
"Yes, his condition is pretty much like yours now. He's alive, I suppose, and he's even found a junior disciple for you."
"Heh, junior disciple? If he hadn't prevented me from cultivating Flame Mantra back then and restricted my development, it wouldn't have come to this. Wait..."
A thought suddenly flashed through Han Feng's mind.
The person in front of me used a cyan flame and another special, unknown flame when he attacked me earlier.
The cyan one was, without a doubt, the Azure Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame list. As for the golden flame, although the Sea Heart Flame didn't give me feedback, that illusory and unreal feeling suggests it should also be a special flame no weaker than a Heavenly Flame.
How could two powerful special flames exist within one person's body?
There is only one possibility: he also cultivated Flame Mantra!
"You... you are my junior disciple?" Han Feng asked, his voice dry.
Amon's brow twitched, guessing the reason for Han Feng's speculation. He didn't explain, only said with interest:
"Surprised? Unexpected? There's an even bigger surprise coming."
He watched Han Feng's expression slowly turn to despair, a pleased smile on his face.
Han Feng made a final struggle: "You joined the Soul Hall because that old immortal wanted revenge, so he incited you to oppose the Soul Hall, right?
"Trust me, Senior Brother, this is absolutely a road of One Goes Without Return. The Soul Hall's power is immense, far beyond what you can contend with.
"Senior Brother can introduce you to Senior Martial Uncle Mu Gu. We can go seek refuge with him together. He is also an Eight-Rank Alchemist and can give us guidance no worse than that old immortal.
"I can also give you the Sea Heart Flame. I've thought it through; Flame Mantra is too dangerous. I've given up on it. I'll switch to cultivating other cultivation methods in the future... Also, regarding Flame Mantra, Senior Brother, I will absolutely not reveal a single bit of information."
"Is that so? Alright then," Amon nodded, forcing a smile.
Han Feng was slightly stunned, not expecting Amon to agree so readily. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, which immediately turned into decisiveness.
"Good, good, good, Junior Disciple. I'll give you the Sea Heart Flame right now."
A blue flame, like flowing water, slowly seeped out from Han Feng's soul.
Seeing Amon staring intently at the Sea Heart Flame, completely unguarded, a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
"Go to hell!"
He controlled the Sea Heart Flame to attack Amon.
Han Feng would not entrust his life to Amon's trustworthiness. At this point, it was a fight to the death between them.
The Sea Heart Flame was his last power; if it was stripped away, he would have no chance of recovery.
So, even though he felt Amon wouldn't be so easily convinced, and his unguarded appearance was very suspicious, he could only bite the bullet and go for it.
The Sea Heart Flame suddenly surged, its scorching temperature making the air in the cave become scorched.
Han Feng's expression changed because the Sea Heart Flame had completely left his soul. Not only the flame power, but even the original fire had left with it!
The detachment of the Sea Heart Flame severely injured him, and his soul appeared much weaker.
A strange sensation arose, and Han Feng discovered in horror that something was competing with his consciousness for control of his spirit power!
If his soul had not been damaged, he might have been able to resist a little, but now, with the Sea Heart Flame forcibly detaching and him suffering a backlash, he was simply unable to resist and could only become Amon's puppet in unwillingness and despair.
Amon seemed to be talking to himself, yet also explaining to Han Feng:
"Why do you think I wasted so much time talking to you? Naturally, it was for this Sea Heart Flame!"
Han Feng had no ability to destroy the Sea Heart Flame, so Amon could forcibly seize it, but that would mean completely destroying Han Feng's soul.
This was not what Amon wanted to see; his soul was still useful.
As early as when Han Feng's soul was extracted from his body, Amon had already Parasite him.
However, Han Feng's soul was powerful, not much weaker than Amon's main body, and he understood how to use spirit power. Therefore, the Worm of Spirit merely integrated into his soul, and like Yao Chen, it was somewhat difficult to completely seize control in a short time.
Afterward, Amon deliberately chatted with him to distract him and cause intense emotional fluctuations.
The Worms of Spirit then took the opportunity to secretly Parasite the Sea Heart Flame and seize control of it.
Although the Sea Heart Flame had been refined by Han Feng, it was ultimately not a soul. Amon's Parasite did not alert him.
When Han Feng mobilized the Sea Heart Flame to attack Amon, the Worms of Spirit seized the opportunity and brought out the original fire seed of the Sea Heart Flame.
The stripping of a Heavenly Flame causes great harm to its original owner, and Han Feng's soul was severely damaged as a result.
But it did not lead to soul collapse.
Thus, Amon successfully seized the Sea Heart Flame and preserved Han Feng's soul!
The Sea Heart Flame, controlled by Amon's Parasite, quietly floated in mid-air, calm like a puddle of water, showing no hint of its wildness as a Heavenly Flame.
Amon smiled, starlight twinkled in his monocle, and a Worm of Spirit rushed towards the Sea Heart Flame, Parasite it.
Before the Worm of Spirit had completely merged with the Sea Heart Flame, Amon, who controlled the Sea Heart Flame, immediately separated a wisp of the Heavenly Flame's origin and severed it along with the not-yet-fully-merged Worm of Spirit.
The Worm of Spirit integrated into the separated Heavenly Flame origin, becoming the Spirit of the Heavenly Flame.
An existence that was both the Sea Heart Flame Heavenly Flame and Amon was born!
