Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 690 Sunset Glow (Part 6)

“If I die before her, at least I can scout ahead and light a way,” the red-haired man said with a shake of his head and a laugh. “You don’t understand… she’s afraid of the dark…”

His tone was relaxed and his expression was calm, showing no signs of being on the verge of death or dying.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that even if he arrived, he wouldn't be able to save Jin Xia.

To be honest, his strength lies in protection, not combat.

If Jin Xia is no match for her opponent, then he will also be no match for her.

Therefore, all he could think about was dying on the same day, in the same month, in the same year. "..."

Han Yi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said helplessly, "Your Excellency, may you have a safe journey."

His passion had cooled, and he had no fighting spirit left.

There is nothing to do with such a person but to show respect.

Knowing full well that one will die is utterly futile; one is wasting a life for the sake of others.

Ask yourself.

He absolutely could not do it.

"Thank you. Compared to Chun Rongrong's domineering nature... you're much better..." the red-haired man smiled. "It seems she has good taste; she has indeed found a successor..."

Before he could finish speaking, he closed his eyes and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Old Han, how are you feeling?"

The three arrived at this moment, carrying a corpse in their hands. It was none other than Jin Xia, who had committed suicide with her lover.

After Jin Luo used sorcery to send her away, if she were determined to survive and carefully hid herself, she might not be discovered for a while.

Unfortunately, when Jin Luo died, she sensed it at the same time, took the initiative to appear, and, wanting to die, committed suicide.

"...It's hard to say...sigh..." Han Yi sighed, his face grim.

He couldn't quite describe how he felt, but he felt worse than if he had swallowed a fly.

This time it was a resounding victory, and the goal was achieved.

The ending... seemed to suggest that he had lost...

They lost to those two.

This was the first victory he had ever felt so frustrated with.

"This is the power of love..." He patted Han Yi on the shoulder and sighed, "Speaking of which, you're not getting any younger, you can't live without a woman. You see, you just don't understand when it comes to this kind of thing."

Han Yi said nothing, his gaze deep, and gently placed the two corpses together.

A magical scene happened.

The moment the two corpses came close together, they spontaneously embraced each other, as if two opposing poles had collided.

Faint golden light emanated from it.

The frequency is getting faster and faster, and denser and denser.

Soon the two corpses disappeared completely, leaving only countless dense golden specks of light.

Golden specks of light converged into a gust of wind, whistling and propelling the airflow rapidly into the sky.

From time to time.

Within the golden aura, the figures of a man and a woman could be seen, appearing and disappearing. At this moment, they stood at the pinnacle of love, mocking the incompetence of the world.

"Let's clean up this mess and get out of here!"

The group from the Myriad Beasts Sect slowly disappeared into the distant dense forest...

……………

……………

Black Miasma Mountain, Dark Valley.

The miasma was like a sea of ​​clouds, leaving no one untouched.

Layers of thick, white miasma created the treacherous geographical environment of the mountains, while also keeping most of the dangers out.

"Speaking of which... this is my first time visiting your Ten Thousand Beasts Sect..."

Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's territory, **followed behind Han Yi, looking around with curiosity.

As for the two bodyguards in black, their bodies were tense and their expressions were wary.

What is this place?

It should be noted that Han Yi is known as the "Beast Demon" in the outside world.

The shadow of a famous tree.

After his various misdeeds were exposed, most outsiders perceived him as a ruthless killer.

Consequently, the impression of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect became similar to that of a demonic organization.

Of course, as the official righteous force, the government army was opposed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and had a life-or-death conflict with them, so it could not be considered a prestigious and righteous sect.

Led by Han Yi, the group gradually ventured deeper into the heart of the encampment.

Inside the camp, many disciples stopped what they were doing and looked at the three of them with great interest.

Within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, what is most precious? Strangers are the rarest of all.

Normally, the area is heavily guarded, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to enter. Moreover, given its location deep in the mountains and forests, encountering a stranger is not easy.

At first glance, they saw strangers following the sect leader in.

Naturally, I felt curious.

Having weathered many storms, he remained calm and composed in the face of this situation, showing no particular emotion, and even politely greeted those around him.

Those two men in black were no match for them.

Feeling the scrutinizing gazes around him, and hearing the occasional howls of wolves and the faint smell of blood, he felt somewhat similar to being in a slaughterhouse.

The two immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, ready to strike at any moment.

Soon, nothing happened along the way, and they arrived at their destination without incident.

"Have some tea. Conditions are tough in the mountains, and we picked all the tea ourselves. Young Master Hu is an honored guest, so please don't find it offensive." Inside the sect leader's building, Zhong Han skillfully picked up the tea set, poured in hot water, and brewed the wild tea.

"Not at all. This stuff is common in the mountains; it's not cheap in the market outside." He replied politely.

"If you like it, take a few pounds home later. I can't finish it all myself anyway," Han Yi said with a smile.

The three of them sat down around the tea set and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Of course, the two men in black beside him had already been greeted by others and taken to other rooms.

After all, one's level isn't high enough to get involved in certain matters.

"Those two from Baimai destroyed a granary. What's the reaction from the government troops?" Han Yi asked.

"What else can we do? The higher-ups haven't made a decision yet," he said helplessly. "At most, they'll issue a warrant, launch a nationwide manhunt, and kill anyone on sight. If they can't find the person in the end, they'll just find someone to take the blame."

Besides, while this granary was important, the garrison had more than one in the entire Yunzhou region. The main point of interest was Kou Lie's death.

"Why?"

"Kou Lie is the most likely person to take over Kou Hu's faction, which has attracted the attention of many people. If he were alive, many of the old Kou Hu loyalists might gather under his banner and form a group to protect themselves."

Now that he's dead... I believe the traces Kou Hu left behind will soon vanish. Just like the saying goes, "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter..."

He sighed.

"If that's the case, then the opposition within the government army will decrease, so won't the new commander-in-chief be taking office soon?" Han Yi asked.

"Indeed, it is said that soon..." He took a sip of hot tea and smiled, "The new commander of the government army... his name is Fan Hongchou, and the candidate has been decided... the first stop... is our Huayang."

Huayang City, as a successful example of the early reforms of the government army, has now become the second most important place for the government army after the prefectural city, and is therefore highly valued.

"Are you sure?" Han Yi paused. "What kind of person is this? If he wants to resolve the trouble caused by the Myriad Beasts Sect, what are the chances of success?"

He didn't speak, but his expression was solemn as he gently raised a finger.

"One in ten percent chance?" Han Yi frowned immediately. "Then what's the point of trying to clear our names? We might as well just turn ourselves into a criminal organization. That would be better than living a life of mediocrity in the mountains right now."

Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was implicated by him and its reputation suffered.

However, it is not without its advantages.

Reputation is like a mirror. When the mirror is intact and clear, once it is stained, one will want to wipe it clean in time and cherish one's reputation.

But once the mirror is shattered and broken, and you no longer care, you stop caring. Just like the current Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, which already has a bad reputation, it's only natural for them to do things that violate common morality.

Not caring about reputation and giving up burdens means having no bottom line and using any means necessary.

For this reason, during this period, many shady forces in the Huayang area have come to us to discuss cooperation and help us deal with some troublesome matters.

They acted as if the Myriad Beasts Sect were a gang leader.

Of course, Han Yi has not yet agreed to these things.

After all, being able to clear one's criminal record and return to the right path is far better than simply remaining a gangster.

"Not just one in ten." He chuckled and shook his head. "I'm telling you to rest assured, this matter will absolutely succeed!"

He continued, "Fan Hongchou, I've inquired about him. He's ambitious and has a lot of drive. He's on his way to take up his post, hoping to turn the government army into an impregnable fortress."

The Huayang area, as the main base of the government army, was of particular importance to him. However, he was, after all, an outsider, unfamiliar with the place and its people. How could he establish his own faction?

"Then Jing Tian Manor, which was previously suppressed by Kou Hu, is your Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Isn't that the perfect target?"

"If this succeeds, we will offer you three large toasts." Han Yi said earnestly, "Our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect doesn't ask for much. As long as we can return to Jing Tian Manor, we don't care about losing anything else. There's one more thing."

He said seriously, "Our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will remain as it is, and no matter who comes, they cannot interfere with our internal affairs."

"This..." He looked somewhat hesitant, unable to agree immediately.

It's true that the Myriad Beasts Sect can return to the open, but what's indispensable is the restraint and management of it.

This is also why he cannot make a commitment.

Han Yi stared intently into his eyes, and the atmosphere fell silent.

"Alright, alright. Things have to be done one step at a time." Zhong Han broke the silence with a smile.

"Some things can wait until the Myriad Beasts Sect successfully emerges into the world before we discuss them. It's too early to discuss them now; who knows how the situation will develop in the future?"

She spoke softly, trying to comfort the two of them.

"That's right, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect hasn't returned yet. I was a bit too hasty." Han Yi smiled, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"It's good to plan ahead. As the sect leader, you have to think one step ahead. It's not your fault." He replied with a smile.

The two raised their teacups and drank them down in one gulp.

Seeing this, Zhong Han acted like the hostess and promptly poured tea for the two of them.

Since Han Yi became the sect leader, apart from practicing martial arts, Zhong Han has been in charge of most of his daily life and meals.

Moreover, Zhong Han handles most of the various trivial matters within the sect that don't involve major changes. Therefore, calling her the Vice Sect Master isn't an exaggeration.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly a disciple knocked on the door and called out softly.

"Sect Master, everyone is here. The elders sent me to call you."

Han Yi said, "Alright, Lao Hu, let's go take a look together. You deserve a lot of credit for being able to collect all seven true skills of Jingtian Manor."

The Dancing Willow Heart Sutra of Mingfeng Academy and the Imperial Dragon Heavenly Fire Manual of Yangzhi Academy were originally stolen by the government army. The fact that they were able to be recovered was largely due to the mediation and maneuvering of the government forces.

"Really? This is, after all, a closely guarded secret of your Jingtian Manor..." **He hesitated.

"The Mingfeng Academy's true skills, the Yangzhi Academy's true skills. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how long it would have taken to find them." Han Yi advised, "Besides, weren't you planning to offer your family's true skills and the Yixing Cave's true skills in exchange?"

"It's nothing. Just consider it a reference, a chance to brainstorm. Perhaps your ideas will also be helpful in the deduction of the Seven Transformations of Heaven."

“Okay…” She nodded slowly and followed Han Yi toward the door.

Chamber.

Light shines through the wooden window carved with flowers, birds and fish, casting shadows on the floor.

The brass incense burner with its dragon-head spout emitted wisps of blue smoke, stirring the air in the hall and releasing a faint fragrance.

"I have gathered everyone here today for one purpose only."

Han Yi sat in the main seat at the top and spoke loudly.

The audience members glanced at them one by one.

Grand Secretary, Elder Fu, Zhong Yunxiu, Zhang Ruoning…

Besides the high-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect in Kaiyuan, Lechang Town, Zhang Lan, Lan Mei, and ** were also included.

"Everyone knows who the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was before, so I won't go into details. You should also be familiar with the reputation of the Heavenly Evolution Seven Transformations Profound Technique."

Han Yi continued.

"I have invited everyone here today for no other reason than to witness the Seven Arts of Jingtian and to jointly deduce and comprehend the Seven Transformations of Heaven! Senior Sister."

He turned his gaze to Zhong Han, who was standing to one side.

Under Zhong Han's arrangement, seven women soon entered gracefully and set up seven tables, each covered with a red cloth.

Han Yi slowly walked off the stage.

A powerful surge.

The seven pieces of red cloth were immediately pulled down.

It was none other than the Seven Academies of Jingtian, containing all their true skills.

The Dragon-Controlling Heavenly Fire Manual of Yangzhi Academy.

Jin Xiagong of the Institute of Printing.

The Dancing Willow Heart Technique of Mingfeng Academy.

The Nine-Bend Palm of the Nine-Bend Courtyard. The Cloud-Piercing Palm of the Snowdrift Courtyard.

The true skill of the arc cinema's three-dimensional fixation technique.

The Lotus Leap Technique of Fuguang Temple.
