The man's face was agonized, his already pale face now distorted even more. He bit his lower lip tightly until it bled, his eyes filled with fear and grief, as if he were back in that horrific scene.

"I... I'm from the Qingxuan Sect..." The man spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling and hoarse, and every word seemed to be spoken with all his strength.

"Earlier... I heard that some civilians were tragically harmed. The scene was truly horrific. After the sect learned of this, they sent us to investigate. But who could have imagined... that the other party was actually from the Shadow Cult..."

At this point, the man's body began to tremble violently uncontrollably, and tears burst out like a dam breaking, flowing freely down his cheeks.

"Those Shadow Cult members... were truly too powerful. My senior brothers and sisters... all died... right before my eyes to protect me. I was powerless to do anything but watch them fall one by one. That scene... I'll never forget it..."

The man's words were gradually drowned out by his sorrowful cries. He was immersed in endless pain and self-blame, and his body was twitching slightly due to the excessive emotional fluctuations.

Upon hearing this, Chen Han's previously calm face was instantly shrouded in anger, his eyes glaring red as if about to spit fire. His chest heaved violently, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.

"You said they are a force called Shadow Cult, right?" Chen Han shouted loudly, his voice filled with endless hatred and anger, shaking the air around him so much that it seemed to tremble slightly.

At this moment, the Yuan force in his body surged uncontrollably, and strands of Yuan force flickered around him, sometimes surging violently, sometimes circling madly, as if echoing Chen Han's anger that was almost exploding at the moment.

Chen Han clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his body trembled slightly.

This sudden loud shout was like thunder out of the blue, instantly scaring everyone around.

Everyone in the convoy was terrified, and they involuntarily took a few steps back. The others also froze in their places, not daring to breathe, staring at him with eyes filled with fear.

The man who was asked was also stunned. He was already immersed in grief, and was frightened by this shout.

His body shuddered violently, and the fear in his eyes became even more intense. He tried to speak tremblingly, but it was as if something was strangling his throat. He couldn't utter a complete word for a long time. He could only nod desperately, and the nodding movement seemed a little mechanical due to excessive fear and tension.

Chen Han's eyes were red, and he said through gritted teeth, "When we get out, you lead the way!" His voice was fierce with anger, as if every word was filled with the determination to tear the Shadow Cult member into pieces.

Hearing Chen Han's harsh words, the man opened his mouth, wanting to respond, but his words faltered and he couldn't utter a single complete sentence. He felt as if he had escaped a tiger's den and entered a wolf's mouth, and his body trembled even more violently.

Seeing this, Chen Yue frowned tightly. Without caring about anything else, he quickly reached out and pulled Chen Han away.

"Calm down. Now is not the time to act on impulse!" She said to Chen Han with a serious face, her words carrying an unquestionable tone.

After she finished speaking, she quickly turned to look at the man, her eyes filled with concern and comfort. She quickly took over the conversation and said softly, "Slow down and talk slowly. Don't be afraid. We won't hurt you."

After hearing Chen Yue's words, the man slowly raised his head, his eyes still filled with fear and hesitation, and looked at Chen Han cautiously.

Seeing this, Chen Han slowly sat down beside him, leaned forward slightly, covered his forehead, frowned and sighed.

Not long after, the man mustered up his courage, his voice still trembling and choked with sobs as he uttered those few words with difficulty: "I can't take you with me. I can't let any more people die."

"What did you say?!" Chen Han's voice was filled with suppressed anger and disbelief, and he stood up suddenly.

"Are we just going to let those guys called the Shadow Cult continue to do evil and harm more innocent people? Are you just going to watch and do nothing?!"

The man listened to Chen Han's angry questioning, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he slowly shook his head.

"No, it's no use, brother." His voice was helpless.

"You were able to kill all those gray-robed guys, so you must have reached the Yuan Bing realm. Reaching the Yuan Bing realm at such a young age is indeed rare. But the Shadow Cult is far more powerful than you think. Their leader has a cultivation level of late Yuan Bing, and there are two early Yuan Bing cultivators."

The man continued, his voice filled with bitterness, "Our sect has been very thoughtful this time. To deal with the Shadow Sect branch, we've dispatched three Yuan soldiers, one at the early and one at the middle stages of their cultivation. We thought that even if we couldn't defeat them, with our strength and coordination, we wouldn't be unable to escape."

His lips trembled slightly, the grief in his eyes became more intense, tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

"But who could have imagined... that the other party's strange trinity formation was so bizarre..."

"Once that formation is unleashed, not only is its power astonishing, but it also coordinates perfectly with each other, as if multiplying the strength of the three of them."

"We...we simply couldn't resist. Under the attack of that formation, we quickly fell into a desperate situation. This led to...led to the situation of our senior brothers and sisters..."

Having said this, the man could no longer hold back, and tears as big as beans welled up in his eyes and slid down his cheeks. He sat there slumped as if all his strength had been drained away.

Chen Han was interrupted just as he was about to say something.

Chen Yue's face was solemn, and he said in a serious tone, "What he said is indeed correct. Chen Han, don't be impulsive. I have heard some related news when I was in the palace before."

"This Shadow Sect seems to be just a branch of the Flower Shadow Sect. The leader of the Flower Shadow Sect is a true mid-stage Yuan Dao Emperor. The forces under his command are intertwined and extremely powerful."

"Just this branch of the Shadow Sect alone is already so difficult for us to deal with. If we really face the main force of the Flower Shadow Sect, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, we must act even more cautiously."

Chen Han's face darkened when he heard this, with anger still lingering in his eyes.

He had seen the power of the Yuan Dao Emperor, which made him think of the fairy sister that day...

He snorted coldly, stomped his feet hard, turned around and walked aside, crossed his arms over his chest, and sulked alone.
