Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 696 Revenge (Part 3)

“No. Within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, there is no suitable candidate other than me.” Han Yi quickly shook his head and refused. “Don’t worry, Senior Sister, I am not a reckless person. I will definitely make thorough preparations.”

Before Zhong Han could speak, he flashed away and sped off into the distance.

Even though he knew it was a trap, Meng Ren had to go and save him.

Meng Ren had followed him for many years. They had met and become acquainted almost as soon as they entered Jingtian Manor, and their relationship was quite close.

If we stand idly by and let them be hunted down, it will be disastrous.

Then the hearts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, which had been painstakingly united, would crumble again.

Not to mention that Meng Ren's side is now the only channel through which the Myriad Beasts Sect can replenish a large number of new disciples from the outside world.

Once Meng Ren's boxing gym disbands, the future development of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will likely be a question.

Therefore, both morally and logically, he had to save Meng Ren.

It's estimated that the other side also figured out the secrets of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and found Meng Ren, a key figure, before they openly pursued and killed him, forcing Han Yi to save him.

But how do we rescue them? And who will go to rescue them?

That's another topic.

Within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, there are those who are confident that even if they are surrounded, they can still escape and survive, even if they are outmatched.

Apart from Han Yi himself, there was no one else.

"Really...!" Zhong Han was left standing there, stamping her foot in anger and helplessness.

She knew Han Yi was right, but the urge surging within her always made her want to ask. Han Yi leaped over the wall, rushed out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and glided away at an incredible speed, like a great bird in flight.

However, he was heading in the direction of Huayang, not Linqiu City.

Meng Ren had been chased for so long without incident, and it was only through Ying Tang's discovery that a letter was sent back.

This means that either the opponent is not strong enough, or the two of them combined can only be on par with Meng Ren, who is at the peak of martial arts master level.

Alternatively, it means that the other side has set a trap to lure people in.

Firstly, it's unlikely.

If there is a real grudge, several people will definitely launch a joint sneak attack, putting the other side in a desperate situation and besieging them.

If they fail to succeed the first time, they will definitely flee and look for the next opportunity.

After all, no one would willingly be targeted by a martial arts master at their peak. Such a blatant display, showing no fear of being discovered, is quite unusual.

It was clearly an attempt to lure people over.

Therefore, upon careful consideration, the latter is undoubtedly more likely.

The other party has been chasing for so long without succeeding. If it were an ordinary person, they would have retreated long ago and looked for a later opportunity.

They did it so openly and with such fanfare, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know about it.

Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on?

Since the other party's real target is not Meng Ren, his life and safety can be disregarded for the time being.

Soon, Han Yi arrived at a secluded manor on the outskirts of Huayang City.

"I received your message, what's wrong?" **, who had been waiting for a long time, asked anxiously.

He held a cage of silkworms in his hand; the small green insects inside had stopped chirping and were on the verge of death.

Since joining the Grandmasters' Guild and coming into contact with Gu worms, combined with his previous experience in poison, he has made significant breakthroughs.

This was a dead insect, a discovery he made unintentionally during his research.

One male and one female.

Yang alone cannot exist, nor can Yin alone produce life.

If any one of the insects dies, the other one will quickly lose its life as well.

It may seem a bit useless, but it's perfect for delivering urgent messages.

Therefore, before setting off, Han Yi sent a message to ** and arrived at the agreed meeting place.

"It's like this..." Han Yi quickly and concisely recounted the events.

"Do you remember the other day you reminded me that Mingyu Sect... and Wanhua Palace were making some unusual moves... I suspect that this time, they're targeting us?"

He added at the end.

“Wanhua Palace… Zhang Qiong… Mingyu Sect… Sect Master…” ** Her brows furrowed.

"Is the source of this information confirmed?"

"No." Han Yi shook his head slightly. "Even the two who were chasing Meng Ren only vaguely saw traces of the Myriad Flower Palace in their moves. But such a blatant trap must be designed to lure people in."

Last time, you and I joined forces to kill two people from the Mingyu Sect, and then I tricked Zhang Qiong from the Wanhua Palace again. So I guess there's no other possibility besides these two families.”

“That makes sense. There have been some unusual movements within the Mingyu Sect before, which seem to be related to the Wanhua Palace.” ** nodded in agreement. “This time, it’s highly likely that the two sides have joined forces to deal with us.”

"That's why I came to find you. They know our strength and background, so the people who came this time must be extraordinary," Han Yi said.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Perhaps even a master of the Mingyu Sect's level will appear. We shouldn't delay; I'll go back to my family and get some reinforcements. Since they've set a trap, we might as well turn the tables and surround and kill them."

“Alright. You know that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has always been short-handed. Three Grandmasters, plus dozens of Martial Masters, and over a hundred elite disciples equipped with wolf beasts are the limit of what I can spare.

Han Yi responded, "However, the fact that they are so brazen suggests that they probably anticipated our reaction. The lineup they have secretly set up must be beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"..." He paced back and forth a few times, then sneered, "They have a trump card? Don't we?"

He paused, as if making up his mind: "My Hu family is about to take power, and many forces have already shown their goodwill. Among them, there are a few people we can use. There is also a small number of troops from the government army that can cooperate with this operation. In addition... I will inform my father to take action personally!" "What? Your father is also going to risk his life?" Han Yi was surprised.

**Father, Hu Liuyun. Also from the Huayang region, he once shared the same name as Zhao Ziyang of Shangqinglong, and was known as Hu Liuyun, the "Shadowless Divine Distraction Master," a famous expert of the previous generation.

Although Hu Liuyun has worked behind the scenes for more than a decade since becoming the head of the Hu family, the fact that he shared the same name as Zhao Ziyang in his youth suggests that he was no ordinary expert, even in his old age.

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. This time, we must wipe them all out and eliminate any future trouble!" A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. "We'll split up and see you later!"

He flashed out like a ghost, rushing forward at lightning speed.

Han Yi glanced at the location, then channeled his energy and quickly disappeared.

Huayang City, the Hu family.

"How sure are you?"

After listening to the story, Hu Liuyun frowned and asked, "Not much. About sixty or seventy percent." The man said frankly, "Father knows that the Mingyu Sect Master is a major threat to me. If we can eliminate him in one fell swoop this time, it will be enough to make up for the deficiencies in my martial arts."

His breakthrough to the Grandmaster level was due to the Nirvana Demonic Art he acquired during his time at the Mingyu Sect.

This skill is quite powerful, can be cultivated at a rapid pace, and is extremely compatible with **.

That's why he was able to obtain the true manual of the Nirvana Demon Art in just a few years and be trained as the next generation of Mingyu Sect successor.

However, after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, he discovered that although he was indeed practicing the authentic manual, the technique was incomplete. The only clue to the complete manual was held by the sect leader of the Mingyu Sect.

"Sixty or seventy percent..." Hu Liuyun's face was serious as he pondered for a moment.

"Hesitation will only lead to more trouble. Regardless of whether the Mingyu Sect Master shows up or not, it's worth doing the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect a favor. Ping'er, I'll make the arrangements now to bring in reinforcements," he said decisively.

"Father is wise!" he laughed. "I will go ahead and keep watch over there to prevent any accidents from happening."

"No rush." ​​Hu Liuyun shook his head slightly. "Go and tell the old man that we'll go together."

"What?" ** was startled.

The old man, Hu Guangxiang, was able to fight his way up from the bottom of the Hu family to become the head of the family and secure a place for himself in the city. He was certainly no ordinary person in his youth.

"Wouldn't that be making a big fuss?" he quickly asked.

Hu Liuyun was, after all, a master from the same era as Zhao Ziyang, and his reputation still exists. He was not far removed from the present day.

He had personally experienced some of these events, so he had a good understanding of his father's level of strength.

But when Old Master Hu Guangxiang became famous and powerful, this guy wasn't even born yet. "Not only will Old Master have to come out of seclusion, but the imperial guards, the experts from Shouyi Temple… I'll summon them all," Hu Liuyun sneered. "It just so happens that the granary caught fire not long ago, killing Kou Lie. We're not worried about who will take the blame… and the Wanhua Palace and Mingyu Sect have jumped out on their own…"

"This..." He was startled and his heart skipped a beat. He had only wanted to help his friend, which was why he thought of asking his father for help.

I never expected my father to be even more ruthless than me. Just for some information that wasn't even confirmed yet, he was willing to give everything to completely eliminate any potential threats.

Hu Liuyun seemed to see through her thoughts and chuckled, "Ping'er, it's better to be safe than sorry. If we don't go all out and a flaw appears, we might be defeated by the other side. Then we'll have nowhere to cry."

"I'm just a little worried. The old man hasn't fought in all these years. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes..." he hesitated. It's said that the old man was indeed very strong in his youth, but so many decades have passed without him fighting. What if something happens to him? How will we explain it?

"Don't worry. The old man's strength is no less than yours now. At the very least, it will take you a few more years to catch up," Hu Liuyun said with a smile. "Besides, the old man is just there to keep things in check and act as a backup. The chances of him encountering danger are not high."

"Alright, I'll follow Father's arrangements." He nodded in agreement, then got up and left.

……………

……………

The sunlight was slanted, and the sky gradually darkened.

The pale golden afterglow scattered across the mountain path, as if a layer of golden sand had been laid out.

Snapped!

Heavy footprints broke the silence, swiftly sweeping across the path. "Meng Ren, stop obediently and surrender." The man with the mustache moved lightly, following closely behind.

"Surrendering willingly will spare you some suffering. Otherwise..."

Meng Ren ignored him and continued running forward.

“Stubborn to the end…” The man with the mustache shook his head.

Swish swish!

Three darts shot out suddenly, incredibly fast yet silently, hidden in the shadows of the trees, like scorpion venom, striking Meng Ren from the side.

By the time he realized it, it was too late to dodge.
