Loulan Kingdom.
"Damn it!" Zi Manlou's face was filled with anger. His handsome face was somewhat ferocious.
His subordinates stood on both sides submissively. Seeing Zi Manlou's rare rage, no one dared to say anything. No one was willing to anger the 'dragon face' at this time. Clenching his fists, Zi Manlou sat on the purple bench. His deep eyes kept flashing, containing many secrets.
"Master." Outside the door, a man with flowing hair in purple martial attire cupped his hands.
"What did you find?" Zi Manlou frowned.
"This disciple has met with Great Elder. Lin Feng did meet with Patriarch Zi Yuan." The man with flowing hair cupped his hands.
"Do you know what they talked about?" Zi Manlou's eyes flashed coldly.
"I don't know. They talked in a secret room. Even Great Elder doesn't know, but …" The man with flowing hair paused and said slowly, "According to Great Elder, after Patriarch Zi Yuan and Lin Feng had a secret meeting, he personally sent Lin Feng away. The two talked and laughed, and their relationship is very close. I'm afraid … they have reached some kind of tacit understanding."
"Tacit understanding?" Zi Manlou sneered.
"What a good Zi Yuan. He is a person who forgets righteousness at the sight of profit."
"Previously, he tried to curry favor with me to get to the top. Now that he is in a stable position, he wants to drive the wolf to chase the tiger and swallow me?"
…
The man with flowing hair had a serious expression. "Then what should we do now? Should we eliminate Zi Yuan first?"
"No rush." Zi Manlou's eyes flashed coldly. "Eliminating Zi Yuan is just a matter of moving a finger. We can do it sooner or later. Furthermore, this person is two-sided. He is not a threat. If we eliminate him now, we will be alerting the enemy. Let's strike first and get rid of Lin Feng and Zi Yao. Otherwise … "
"There will be endless trouble!"
The man with flowing hair's expression changed slightly. "Master, didn't you say that Lin Feng and Lin Yun are one? Lin Yun is strong enough to kill Old Monster Yin Ze. With our strength, I'm afraid …"
"If we can't win with force, we will win with intelligence." Zi Manlou sneered. "Everyone has a weakness. Old Monster Yin Ze is like that. Lin Feng is also like that. If he couldn't overcome the hurdle of love at such a young age, he would definitely suffer. How difficult would it be to deal with a mere sentimental person like him? "
The man's eyes immediately lit up.
"Zi Yong!" Zi Manlou suddenly shouted.
"Yes!" The man with flowing hair, Zi Yong, cupped his hands and stood up.
"Now, immediately mobilize your men to do something for me." Zi Manlou's eyes were bright and filled with malevolence.

The Northern Hades Palace.
"Demon Underworld Lock?" King Yama's golden eyes lit up as he nodded.
He naturally knew the famous treasure of Old Monster Yin Ze. Moreover, the name of the 'Demon Underworld Lock' was so resounding. As one of the 'Dou Ling Sovereigns', even if it was the last of the thirteen, it was still high and mighty.
"Lin Feng, you are quite lucky to have obtained the Demon Underworld Lock," praised the King of Hades North.
Lin Feng smiled indifferently. "Sir, you must be joking. You can see it, you can touch it, but you can't use it. What's the use of it?"
"So you mean …" King Yama nodded in realization.
Lin Feng asked, "King Yama, do you have a convenient way for me to refine the 'Demon Underworld Lock' in the shortest time possible? Normally, I would need at least a year to refine it. That's a little too long. Now that the flames of war are raging, the southern region might be affected at any time. "
King Yama fell into deep thought. His white hair was brimming with vigor.
He closed his eyes as if he was recalling something. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, which shone with golden light.
"There are indeed many ways to refine a heaven-grade treasure," King Yama said slowly. When Lin Feng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
"Compatibility is the most direct method. However, Lin Feng, you have already proven that compatibility is not possible. Basically, this method is blocked," King Yama said slowly. "There is another common method, which is' borrowing strength. 'Borrowing strength. Borrowing strength from others to refine the heaven-grade treasure. The moment the refinement is complete, another cultivator will take over."
"Borrowing strength!?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
King Yama's words were simple and easy to understand. Refining a heaven-grade treasure was like a battle between a cultivator and the treasure's spirit. The treasure's energy would be depleted bit by bit. When the treasure's energy was exhausted, another cultivator would take over. This was called 'borrowing strength.'
"However, there is no one in the world who can refine the Demon Underworld Lock in such a short time, let alone the Hades Emperor. Even the Witch King Jiang can't do it." The King of Hades of the North poured cold water on Lin Feng. Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.
Indeed, this method was suitable for red-grade and orange-grade heaven-grade treasures.
However, it was useless for blue-grade heaven-grade treasures like the Demon Underworld Lock, which was also a Battle Spirit Supreme. Moreover, he couldn't find any experts to help him. The closest person he knew was King Yama, but his strength was only on par with his clone.
"Of course, there's a third shortcut." King Yama's eyes were deep. "The so-called refining is a battle with the treasure's spirit. If a cultivator is confident in his or her soul, he or she can directly battle with the treasure's spirit, bypassing the heaven-grade treasure's strength. As far as I know, a Sage King-level Heavenly Soul Master has succeeded. Of course …"
"It's very risky. From my standpoint, I don't recommend you to do this."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he nodded.
This shortcut was indeed very risky. Moreover, he was fusing with his clone, not his main body.
The clone's soul wasn't strong.
"There are fourth and fifth shortcuts. For example, you can destroy the structure of the 'Demon Underworld Lock' or forcefully attack it with external force. However, these are all methods that cross the boundary. Even if you can forcefully fuse with the treasure, the heaven-grade treasure won't have the same spiritual power as before. Most of them will be directly damaged and difficult to repair," King Yama said seriously.
Listening to a wise man's words was better than reading for ten years.
After hearing King Yama's words, Lin Feng understood a lot.
This method was too wasteful and not suitable. At most, he could slowly refine the 'Demon Underworld Lock' when he had the time. Moreover, there were many ways to increase his combat strength in a short period of time. Perhaps it wasn't as simple as refining the 'Demon Underworld Lock', but didn't he do it step by step before?
Cultivation could not be rushed in the first place.
"Take it slow." King Yama's eyes flashed. He could see Lin Feng's anxiety. He smiled faintly. "After all, we're not like Starry Sky cultivators who can easily refine heaven-grade treasures. Sage King-level cultivators are far from enough in terms of their souls and bodies. "
"Starry Sky cultivators?" Lin Feng was slightly stunned.
As soon as he thought about it, King Yama continued, "By the way, Lin Feng, I have something to talk to you about."
"Hmm?" Lin Feng raised his head and looked at King Yama.
King Yama's eyes lit up. He smiled meaningfully. "The Hades Emperor asked me to inform you that if you're free, you can go to Emperor Yan's Hall."
Emperor Yan's Hall?
When I'm free?
Lin Feng thought to himself. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "The Hades Emperor didn't specify a time?"
"No." King Yama smiled faintly and shook his head.
Strange!
A curious look appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.
"Don't think too much. You'll know when the time comes," King Yama said slowly. His golden eyes sparkled. He seemed to know many things.
"I understand." Lin Feng nodded and cupped his hands. "Thank you for your guidance. I'll take my leave now."
"Alright," King Yama said.
…
He left King Yama's Hall.
Along the way, Lin Feng's eyes kept changing as he pondered.
It was very strange!
Why was the Hades Emperor looking for him? He wasn't summoning him, but asking him to go to Emperor Yan's Hall when he was free. Why?
"When I'm free …" Lin Feng murmured thoughtfully.
If it was a formal summon, then there was no harm in going now.
But according to King Yama's words, he was pressed for time. It wasn't a good time to go. Lin Feng thought to himself as he nodded. He had already made his decision. Since he wasn't in a hurry, there was no need to rush. It wouldn't be too late to go after everything was settled and he dealt with the Purple Man Pavilion.
However, he paid attention to King Yama's last sentence.
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it seriously.
"It's easy for a Starry Sky expert to refine a Heaven-grade treasure!" Lin Feng thought to himself.
Was it because of the difference in strength?
Or was it something else?
Was it possible that he could refine a Heaven-grade treasure like a Starry Sky expert? Perhaps he couldn't compare to a Starry Sky expert in other aspects, but there was one thing that was the same. That was the physique of his doppelganger. His seven souls combined into one. He wasn't much different from a Starry Sky expert!
Was it possible?
"I'll know when I try." Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he thought to himself.
Then, he looked at the compass in his left hand. It was already noon, the time he had agreed to meet Yi Lian.
"I wonder how the investigation is going," Lin Feng thought to himself.
He had to deal with things one by one.
The matter at hand was the most important to him.
Zi Man Pavilion!
…
Yulong Tea House.
"I didn't disappoint you." Yi Lian smiled and handed over a thick stack of documents.
Lin Feng reached out and took it. His eyes sparkled. He thought that Yi Lian was very efficient and careful. In less than a day, she had investigated Zi Man Pavilion thoroughly. He flipped through the documents page by page. Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as he read clearly. He instantly understood a lot about Zi Man Pavilion.
This person was a ruthless person!
In order to achieve his goal, he would never give up. He looked gentle on the surface, but he was actually like a poisonous snake.
Sinister, cunning, and vicious!
"Zi Yuan is right. With Old Monster Yin Ze's brain, he wouldn't be able to think of such a scheme."
"Zi Man Pavilion knows Zi Yao very well. Zi Yao was manipulated and controlled by him. Her defeat … was not unjustified!"
…
Pa! Lin Feng's eyes were cold.
The more it was so, the more pain he felt in his heart.
He could completely imagine Zi Yao's helplessness and pain at that time. Every step she took was painful. It was as if she was betraying herself at every moment. A knife stabbed into her heart!
"Bastard!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and shouted.
Looking at this stack of documents, his hatred for Zi Man Pavilion could not be any greater.
He would not let this scum off!
"When I was investigating his background, Yi Lian accidentally heard a piece of news. I wonder if you are interested to hear it?" Yi Lian blinked and revealed a charming smile.
Lin Feng looked over. Seeing Yi Lian's expression, his heart trembled.
It did not seem to be good news!
"Speak," Lin Feng said solemnly.
