The Legend of the Demon Hunter

The sloppy old man sat on the ground under the thatched shed, and Xiao Zhu, Xia Shi, and Yu Han sat beside him. The sloppy old man looked at the three young people and showed a gratified look on his face.

Finally, his eyes fell on Yu Han, and he said with admiration: "Han'er, it's only been five years, and you have already completed the sixth blood awakening and become a hunter king. Your aptitude is really good, even compared to Ruqing back then, I'm afraid it's not much worse."

“You’re too kind, old dean. Dean Ruqing is a genius. Looking at the entire academy, only the founding seniors can be compared with him. The students are far inferior to him.” Yu Han said modestly.

"I haven't been the president of Novan College for decades. I have long changed my name to Fanyin Jushi. You can just call me Fanyin!" said the sloppy old man, waving his hand.

"Yes, I will call you Senior Fan Yin!" Yu Han answered obediently.

"Yes." Hermit Fan nodded and continued, "Although Ruqing is gifted, she is too obsessed with strength and bravery, otherwise she wouldn't have caused such a huge disaster. In comparison, Chu Enze and you are much more calm. By the way, have you heard any news about Ruqing in these years?"

Yu Han shook his head and said with regret on his face: "We have been looking for the whereabouts of Dean Ruqing for many years, but after so many years, there is no news."

"Ruqing is also a poor child. The separation of mother and child for so many years has dealt a heavy blow to her mentally. Although she recognized the boy named Guchuan as her child on the day when the Warcraft invaded the academy, whether this is true or not remains to be investigated. Also, what is her current health and strength like? Does she have the ability to protect herself? We cannot be sure of these, so you still have to keep looking and never give up easily." said Master Fan Yin, recalling events from the past long ago.

"I have remembered what the senior taught me." Yu Han answered seriously.

"I heard that you went to Yanhui Peak during your trip to the south. What's the situation there now?" asked the hermit.

"Yes, a month ago, Dean Chu ordered students to go to Yanhui Peak, mainly to deal with some remaining affairs after Yun Zhonghe's rebellion five years ago. After Yun Zhonghe and others went to Huanling Country, Yanhui Peak was leaderless and the people's morale was low, and soon the entire sect was completely destroyed. Over the years, most of Yanhui Peak, a Feng Shui treasure land, has become the territory of monsters, and a small amount of rugged terrain has been occupied by some bandits and robbers. It is really a sigh to think about it. Dean Chu ordered me to go this time to drive out the local bandits and monsters. This place is rich in spiritual energy, and it can also be used as a training and cultivation place for the academy and association's monster hunters in the future." Yu Han answered truthfully.

"You have done a good job. After you finish your work here, you can go back to the academy! The relationship between the royal family and the academy has become increasingly worse in recent years. Now that you are one of the four elders of the Elders' Council of the Novan Academy, it is not convenient for you to stay away for a long time." Master Fan Yin looked to the north and said leisurely.

"The matter at Yanhui Peak has been dealt with. After paying a visit to our seniors today, we will immediately return to Nuowan College." Yu Han said.

Hermit Fan turned his gaze to Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi, and a loving smile appeared on his face, as if he was looking at his own children. He said, "Xiao Zhu, Shi'er, you have grown up very fast in these years. Now Xiao Zhu, you are already a hunter spirit, and Shi'er has reached the critical point of the fourth blood awakening. If I hadn't been worried that her fourth blood awakening would break through the seal of the earth soul, so I forcibly restricted her spiritual power, she should have broken through to the hunter spirit realm a year ago. But relying on the seal to restrict the earth soul body is just a delaying tactic, you must find a way to solve it after all."

"Teacher, do you have a plan for the next step?" Xiao Zhu asked doubtfully.

"That's right. I hope you two will go to Huanling Country in the north next." Fan Yinjushi said confidently.

"Going to Huanling Country? The Demonic Cult?" Yu Han asked excitedly, "Senior, is it too dangerous for the two of them to go there?"

Hermit Fan shook his head and said, "I have thought about this for a long time. If we want to find a cure for Shi'er's earth soul body, I am afraid we can only go to Huanling Country. I heard many years ago that there is a kind of soul-related demon hunters living there. They hide in the dark and have reached the pinnacle of research on souls. In addition, with the current strength of the two of you, as long as you keep a low profile, you will have no problem protecting yourselves."

Hearing what Master Fan Yin said, Yu Han frowned slightly and nodded. From his expression, it can be seen that he is still full of worries about Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi's trip to the Demon Sect.

Huanling Country... Hearing these three words, the figure of a tall woman in black emerged in Xiao Zhu's mind. She was taken to Huanling Country by Yun Zhonghe that year, and there has been no news of her since then.

So many years have passed, is she doing okay?

"Okay, the three of you pack up and set off! To go to Huanling Country from here, you have to pass by Nuowan College. The first half of the journey is just along the way for the three of you. Xiaozhu and Shier, you can also stop by the college." After saying this, Hermit Fan stood up and walked towards a bamboo house behind him.

Two days later.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi returned to Nuowan College. They visited Chu Enze and learned that Bai Hao, the monitor of Yunling Academy, had stayed in the college as a teacher. Xiao Zhu met Bai Hao in the illusion of nothingness, and went to visit him when he returned to the college. Bai Hao has now completed the fourth blood awakening and became a spirit hunter. Bai Hao has long been famous inside and outside the college for his Sanqing blood and unpredictable Taoist techniques.

Following the epic war five years ago, the situation in Novan City has undergone earth-shaking changes. The original three-way balance of power has been broken, the royal family has shown its claws and completely stood on the opposite side of Novan College. In order to resist the power of the royal family, Novan College and the Demon Hunter Association formed an alliance.

Novan City is no longer as peaceful as it used to be. Conflicts between the royal family and the association's demon hunters often occur in the city. Fortunately, the two forces are evenly matched and both sides have restrained themselves. No one dares to start a war first. What's more, there is another more powerful force behind them, which is the millions of magical beasts that surround Novan City and hide in the mountains and forests. The battle that year allowed the demon hunters of Novan City to see the true strength of the magical beasts.

Even when the city is surrounded by monsters and everyone is in danger, the struggle for interests between people will not stop.
