228: Chapter 228 A wise person knows when to yield! Ultimate Temptation

"Jie jie jie!"

Han Feng swallowed a seventh-grade pill, and his strength skyrocketed to the Dou Zong level.

He knew his current situation well; it would be difficult to leave Yunmu City alive.

The sudden despair filled him with resentment, and to his ears, the words of Xiao Yan and Old Yao sounded like nothing more than a dog's barking.

"My life is mine to command, not the heavens'! If you want me dead, come and take it yourselves." A look of madness appeared in Han Feng's eyes. "Old man, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not giving me the 'Burning Technique'. Everything you have belongs to me, and such a miraculous Cultivation Technique is naturally no exception."

"Enough!" Gu Han frowned in disgust and interrupted. "Senior Old Yao, and Brother Xiao, those words are useless against a true ungrateful wolf."

"He has no conscience at all and will never reflect on his actions. He only ever thinks of himself. Even if Old Yao had helped him back then, he would still be dissatisfied over something else."

"Preaching to this kind of person is a waste of breath. He fears power but does not respect virtue. It's better to just clean out the sect directly."

While speaking, Dou Qi surged within Gu Han's body, pouring into the formation core that had long been prepared in the courtyard.

The Dou Qi in his body merged with the barrier created by Colorful Glass and the other three, completely reinforcing and even isolating the surrounding space.

"Senior, do it yourself. Consider this a gift from me."

Gu Han raised his hand to open a crack in the spatial barrier, allowing Old Yao to enter alone.

Five Dou Zongs against one; moreover, Old Yao could now exert the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Zong. It would be hilarious if he couldn't defeat Han Feng.

Of course, he had to guard against Han Feng using some means to summon the Protectors or even a Venerable from the Hall of Souls, so he had already made thorough preparations.

"Little friend Gu Han, I thank you. If you need any Medicinal Pills refined in the future, just ask." Old Yao raised his hand and summoned chains. His soul body became increasingly solid as he entered the spatial barrier.

Today, he would personally clean out the sect.

"Boom!"

A one-sided beatdown of a battle began.

With five Dou Zongs acting simultaneously, Gu Han didn't even have the interest to take a second look.

He turned to the Gold and Silver Elders, a smile appearing on his handsome, cool Face. "Seniors, I have a business proposal to discuss with you. I wonder if you are interested?"

The expressions on the Gold and Silver Elders' Faces remained unchanged, but they were speechless in their hearts.

Beside them, five Dou Zongs were simultaneously dealing with Han Feng; would they dare say no at a time like this?

The Gold and Silver Elders didn't know if Gu Han was intentionally killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, but as the "two chickens," they were certainly frightened.

"I wonder what business Grand Elder Gu would like to discuss?" Old Man Gold asked.

"I am quite interested in your Combined Attack Secret Technique." Gu Han pointed toward the sky. "As you can see, my two wives are also twin sisters. If I can obtain your Combined Attack Secret Technique, it would certainly be like giving a tiger wings."

A look of realization flashed in the eyes of the Gold and Silver Elders. In fact, they had already guessed as much when they saw the appearances of Cai Die and Colorful Glass.

"This Combined Attack Secret Technique is an earth tier mid-rank technique. Although cultivation requires the special condition of being connected by blood—and the closer the Bloodline, the better—its effect is indeed significant. It allows the two of us to contend with Dou Zong powerhouses and is the foundation upon which we have established ourselves in the Black-Corner Region," Old Man Gold spoke again.

Old Man Silver followed up, saying, "In principle, it is impossible to trade this secret technique to others."

But now, being in Gu Han's territory, he was the principle.

If those five above were willing, they could easily make them follow in Han Feng's footsteps.

Thus, Old Man Gold immediately added, "But since Grand Elder Gu has brought it up, we are willing to give you this Face. We wonder what you would like to exchange for it?"

As long as what Gu Han offered wasn't too insulting, they planned to swallow their pride and agree even if it meant breaking their teeth and swallowing them.

Who told them they had to come and join this mess?

"You two Seniors are straightforward; I naturally won't disappoint you." With a thought, Gu Han took out a jade bottle from the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm and opened the stopper.

A medicinal fragrance wafted out, and the expressions of the Gold and Silver Elders, as well as Su Qian nearby, all changed.

"This is!" Old Man Gold gulped, his gaze burning with heat. "A Break-Sect Pill?"

"That's right, inside is a Break-Sect Pill." Gu Han pointed upward again. "It was personally refined by Venerable Yao. Its quality is even better than an ordinary Break-Sect Pill. Not only does it increase the chance of breaking through to Dou Zong, but it also ensures that your Realm won't drop even if you fail."

Exchanging this Break-Sect Pill for the Gold and Silver Elders' Combined Attack Secret Technique was definitely not a losing deal.

Not to mention that an earth tier mid-rank secret technique was priceless in itself, the fact that this technique could be passed down indefinitely made it worth having.

Besides Colorful Glass and Cai Die being able to Cultivate it, the sisters Yao Ye and Princess Yao Yue, as well as the sisters Han Xue and Han Yue from the Central Plains—though not twins—could also try to Cultivate it; at most, the effect would be slightly worse.

"Deal!" Old Man Gold agreed without hesitation.

A secret technique is static, but a Medicinal Pill can increase their strength—that was the fundamental truth.

"Senior Gold is a bit too hasty." Gu Han chuckled, his tone teasing. "You are twin brothers, so one Break-Sect Pill isn't enough. I was originally prepared to take out two to exchange with you."

Old Man Gold: ?

Old Man Silver shot him a look full of resentment.

Since Old Man Gold had already agreed, they couldn't go back on their word.

More accurately, they didn't have the courage to do so in front of Gu Han; perhaps he was just joking.

"I have recently gathered the ingredients for the second Break-Sect Pill, and I will need Senior Old Yao to refine it." Gu Han appreciated the way the Gold and Silver Elders understood the situation and stopped teasing them.

"I can give you this second pill as well, but I need you to agree to one thing."

"What is it?" Old Man Silver asked impatiently.

With only one Break-Sect Pill, for the sake of harmony, neither brother would take it. But with two, there would be no such concerns.

"Become Guest Elders of my Yunmu City and provide protection for the next ten years. If anyone blind enough comes to cause trouble in Yunmu City, you will need to help. If the situation exceeds your strength, you don't have to get involved."

"After ten years, if you feel we've gotten along well and are willing to stay, you can become Supreme Elders of my Cloud Mist Sect. If you want to leave, you may do so. How about it?"

In ten years' time, Gu Han was confident that even if Yunmu City tried to drive the Gold and Silver Elders away, they wouldn't want to leave.

Only those who have rested under the shade of a great tree know how good it is.

"Fine!"

The Gold and Silver Elders looked at each other, and after communicating with their eyes, they readily agreed.

Given the foundation the Cloud Mist Sect had displayed today, just having a friend like the former Venerable Yao was enough to sway them.

Su Qian: "..."

His heart was shocked again and again.

The Gold and Silver Elders, known as the two strongest Dou Huangs below the Dou Zong level in the Black-Corner Region, were actually joining Yunmu City.

And they would soon receive two Break-Sect Pills, which might allow them to break through to Dou Zong.

At that time, even if all the other forces in the Black-Corner Region combined, they probably wouldn't even be their match!?
