Han Feng

Han Feng is Yao Lao's adopted disciple and betrayer, a tier-six alchemist whose pursuit of Heavenly Flames makes him Xiao Yan's recurring rival. His regional prestige creates the Black Alliance, while successive defeats drive him into a destructive bargain with the Hall of Souls. (Chapters 592–660, 858–921, 1433)

Biography

The Fallen Heart Flame Catastrophe

Han Feng rules Feng City as the Black-Corner Region's famed tier-six 'Medicinal Emperor' and Yao Chen's estranged former disciple. He covets Heavenly Flames and the Flame Mantra, values power over teacher-disciple loyalty, and wants the academy's Fallen Heart Flame without becoming trapped in a costly institutional war. He uses alchemist prestige to gather Black-Corner factions, waits for the academy and flame to weaken each other, attacks for the flame, and fights Xiao Yan with the Sea Heart Flame. (Chapters 592–660)

Yao Chen recognizes the disciple who betrayed him; Xiao Yan becomes Han Feng's junior fellow disciple and direct rival. Xiao Yan defeats him, his Black Alliance loses momentum, and his possessions—including the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron—fall to Xiao Yan. His public authority is exposed as dependent on transactional allies and ruthless appetite. (Chapters 592–660)

Black-Corner Reckoning and the Road East

After losing his body, Han Feng survives as a spirit and bargains with the Hall of Souls. He wants continued life, revenge on Xiao Yan, and restored power. He surrenders the Sea Heart Flame to a Hall expert, receives a captured Dou Zong body with only a limited lifespan, returns to organize another coalition, fights Su Qian and Xiao Yan, murders a supposed ally to gain advantage, and abandons most of his spirit in a final escape attempt. (Chapters 858–921)

His Hall of Souls relationship is a predatory exchange, not loyalty; his readiness to kill Protector Tie confirms that allies are disposable to him. Xiao Yan destroys his restored body, detects the escaping spiritual thread, and captures him, ending his ability to return independently. Defeat intensifies rather than corrects his betrayals, reducing him from regional ruler to captive spirit. (Chapters 858–921)

The Pill Gathering and the Star-Realm Flame

Han Feng no longer acts independently, but his stolen flame and betrayal remain important to Yao Chen and Xiao Yan. No new motivation is established after capture. His prior Sea Heart Flame transfer is traced through Hall of Souls possession, and Yao Chen later reflects on having raised him from an abandoned orphan like a son. (Chapters 1151, 1433)

Yao Lao's grief reframes Han Feng's crime as betrayal of parental as well as instructional trust: he had raised the abandoned orphan like a son before being attacked by him. Xiao Yan's loyal discipleship supplies the direct contrast. The flame and memories persist after Han Feng's defeat, leaving his final narrative function as a warning and an unresolved wound within the master-disciple lineage. (Chapters 1151, 1433)

Appearance and personality

A prestigious, commanding alchemist whose city and coalition are built around his reputation. (Chapter 592)

Patient and calculating when waiting for academy and flame to weaken each other, but ruthlessly self-preserving and willing to betray companions. (Chapters 603, 860, 921)

His restored body appears older and is inherently temporary, expected to crack apart within roughly a decade. (Chapter 860)

Abilities and cultivation

Alchemy

Origin and mechanics. Taught by Yao Chen, who raised Han Feng and transmitted extensive knowledge. Uses spiritual strength, flame control, medicinal ingredients, and high-ranked cauldrons to refine pills. His tier-six production earns enough political influence to summon many Black-Corner experts. (Chapters 592, 653, 660, 921)

Applications and interactions. Pill refinement, coalition-building, wealth, and bargaining. Uses the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and Sea Heart Flame. Representative evidence includes his status and summons in Chapter 592 and the medicinal stores and cauldron recovered in Chapters 653–660. (Chapters 592, 653, 660, 921)

Limits and development. His alchemy does not guarantee loyalty; allies join for promised benefits, and Xiao Yan and Yao Lao can identify or surpass parts of his legacy. He reaches tier six before his introduction, but the evidence establishes no reliable later tier increase. At the latest confirmed point, he is a captured spirit with no demonstrated capacity to refine independently. (Chapters 592, 653, 660, 921)

Sea Heart Flame combat

Origin and mechanics. He possesses the fifteenth-ranked Heavenly Flame before his attack on the academy; acquisition details are not supplied in the cited corpus. A deep-blue Heavenly Flame used for alchemy and combat. It supports peak-Dou-Huang fighting power and flame attacks strong enough to contend with other Heavenly Flames. (Chapters 598, 611, 860, 1151)

Applications and interactions. Attempts to seize the Fallen Heart Flame and fights Xiao Yan. Clashes with Xiao Yan's Green Lotus Core Flame and reacts to the Fallen Heart Flame. Representative uses include Chapters 598–611. (Chapters 598, 611, 860, 1151)

Limits and development. The Fallen Heart Flame can target him as another flame bearer, and he later relinquishes the Sea Heart Flame for Hall protection. It thus changes from his signature power into a surrendered bargaining asset. At the latest confirmed point, he no longer possesses it after completing that Hall of Souls bargain. (Chapters 598, 611, 860, 1151)
