Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 783 Descending the Mountain (Part Two)

Han Yi carefully put away the Emerald Hidden Dagger and gently placed it in his bosom.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Hu Ping. After all, Hu Ping had come all this way, and it would be an insult to refuse any kindness from him.

Click click...

Suddenly, a series of light footsteps came from the steps on the side of the city wall.

Upon hearing the sound, Hu Ping looked over and a strange smile immediately appeared on his face.

"With such a beautiful woman by my side, I won't be the bad guy and bother Brother Han any longer..." His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. "The martial arts school in Huayang... I'll arrange for it to be taken good care of..."

Hu Ping's voice gradually faded into the distance, becoming somewhat inaudible. "Wait a minute!!" Upon hearing this, Han Yi frowned and shouted loudly to stop him.

The footsteps on the steps stopped abruptly.

"Huh?" Hu Ping was also taken aback, and blurted out, "What? Is there something else?"

Han Yi shook his head and advised, "Huayang's situation... involves the martial arts school of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect... so your Hu family... shouldn't interfere."

It's one thing to rely on external aids like the Emerald Dagger.

No one will be able to see its origin.

But if Hu Ping were to use his family's influence to directly cover up the members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect stationed within the martial arts school...

That's a bit too conspicuous.

The scope is too broad, and the target is too large.

If danger occurs, Yuanmiao Sect could very well trace the problem back to the Hu family. "Does that mean we won't run into trouble if we don't help?" Hu Ping sighed. "At this time, at least we can earn a reputation for being grateful."

"We can't offer much direct help, but we can do some odd jobs. Don't worry, the Hu family has connections within the Yuanmiao Sect. We might not be able to solve the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's crisis, but protecting the Hu family won't be a problem."

"Hmm... what you said makes sense..." Han Yi said thoughtfully.

Only then did he realize that he had underestimated others.

Recalling Hu Ping's educational experience in his youth, he also studied at the Yuanmiao Sect for a period of time.

suffice it to say.

The Hu family has considerable connections and influence within the Yuanmiao Sect.

Come to think of it, the Hu family is one of the three major families in Huayang, and the patriarch of the Hu family has been cultivating his influence in the prefectural city for many years. Given the Hu family's tendency to bet on multiple fronts...

How could they not have a relationship with Yuanmiao Sect, the actual overlord of Yunzhou?

Looking at it this way, it seems he was overthinking things.

"That's all for now. Don't forget to call me next time you're drinking..." Hu Ping's voice faded into the distance; this time, he was really gone.

The sound of footsteps on the side steps then resumed.

"Hanhan, you've come at just the right time. You should leave with your master tonight. I've already had Tao Yaohui prepare a mansion in the prefectural city as our future residence in seclusion."

Han Yi turned around, looked at the woman in front of him, and smiled.

At this moment, Zhong Han carried a long sword on her back, her jet-black hair was tied up high, and she wore a pair of dark gold leather boots, revealing the curves of her long legs. She was dressed in a simple black outfit, which made her look heroic and dashing.

"When are you leaving?" She looked at Han Yi with a worried expression. "I...?" Han Yi was silent for a moment, "You go first, I'll be there soon."

"Are you going to have to face it all alone again, like last time, or the time before that?" Zhong Han stared intently at Han Yi.

"..."

With his inner thoughts exposed, Han Yi chuckled dryly, speechless for a moment.

He paused for a moment: "It's not something I can face alone. The vast Ten Thousand Beasts Sect can't be completely disbanded overnight. Someone has to stay behind to take charge. And I, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, am the most suitable candidate."

Han Yi's words were not without basis.

The Myriad Beasts Sect is such a large sect.

It's clearly impossible to disband the organization in just one sentence and complete it in a day.

Moreover, Han Yi's actions, which were ostensibly a disbandment but were actually a relocation, naturally took longer. As the sect leader, he left before everyone else.

To put it bluntly, this is called desertion in the face of battle.

Zhong Han naturally understood this principle and remained silent.

The two gazed at the brightly lit inner city, where many disciples were still busy, and remained silent for a while.

"Do you think...they...will come?" Zhong Han suddenly asked.

"...I don't know..." Han Yi shook his head, "If they didn't want to push things to the extreme, they wouldn't have come. If they really wanted to drive someone to their death..."

"They" naturally refers to Emperor Yuanmiao.

If they don't come, the matter is over.

Han Yi made a mistake and disbanded the sect, which can be considered as showing full sincerity and giving face.

He's gone to such lengths... let's assume he still won't let it go...

Han Yi had nothing to say.

"How strong... are they?" Zhong Han asked softly.

Her long-held, rigid mindset regarding the Yuanmiao Sect led her to be extremely worried about Han Yi's safety.

"...I can't figure it out..." Han Yi shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

He wasn't just saying this to comfort me; there was genuine evidence behind it.

Based on intelligence gathered from various sources, it is clear that the Venerable-level experts of the Yuanmiao Sect do not easily descend the mountain.

So even if Yuanmiao Sect continues to send people, it is highly unlikely that they will send people directly from the Venerable level of the Upper Three Peaks.

Moreover, in terms of details, this is a sordid conflict between the Yuanmiao Sect's Sword Mansion and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Han Yi guessed that the most likely person to arrive was...

It was Yan Xuanji, the head of the Sword Academy, who personally led the team to arrive.

According to various clues, the head of the Lower Six Peaks is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, he will not exceed the Venerable level.

Otherwise, he would have entered the Upper Three Peaks Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land much earlier, instead of staying below as a mere head of the academy.

In this way, Han Yi's life safety was greatly guaranteed.

It's nothing more than taking the initiative to apologize.

Even if the entire Sword Academy comes, if they still don't accept it, then we'll have a fight.

Anyway, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has disbanded and left nothing behind.

Even if it causes a huge upheaval, we are not afraid of losses.

They can't beat him, but unless a Venerable-level expert intervenes, they can't possibly capture Han Yi.

He'll say a few harsh words and then make a quick getaway.

He secluded himself in a pre-arranged mansion, recuperating and using the panel to search for demonic energy, rapidly increasing his strength. Once he was strong enough, he would take revenge and that would be the end of it.

Therefore, there is no use in keeping Zhong Han here; on the contrary, it would require a lot of effort and distraction to protect her.

"I knew I couldn't win an argument with you..." Zhong Han said helplessly. "Yes, yes, I'll do as you say. Everything you say makes sense."

Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had successfully persuaded them.

"You led Master away and successfully transferred the resources and supplies; that's the most important thing," he said with a smile. "You'll probably have to put in a lot of effort along the way, hiding and dodging."

“What’s the big deal… My only regret is that I’m not strong enough to fight alongside you…” Zhong Han sighed and stepped forward gently.

Han Yi was about to say a few comforting words to console him when his expression suddenly changed and his body abruptly stiffened.

He felt a soft, warm body hug him tightly, pressing against his back.

The night wind was a bit chilly, blowing in gusts through the observation holes on the city wall, carrying a faint whistling sound.

Soft strands of hair gently brushed against her face, as smooth and silky as the finest satin.

I feel a slight itch.

A delicate fragrance lingered around my nose, while a warm breath wafted from my earlobe onto my cheek, hot and soft.

Perhaps there was some tension, or perhaps some worry.

Or it can evoke all sorts of emotions.

Zhong Han's delicate body trembled slightly, and a trembling voice, filled with extremely suppressed emotions, rose softly.

"Remember, you can't die, and you can't be injured or disabled. You promised me you'd marry me properly and have two big, healthy sons. You must keep your promise..."

Yuanmiao Sect, Sword and Talisman Academy.

Under a bright, cloudless sky, sunlight streamed through the window lattice, faintly forming a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) symbol on the yellow wooden table.

Click...

A slender finger extends, and a ball of white light slowly gathers at its tip.

hiss hiss hiss...

As the finger moved slowly, a thin layer of jade dust appeared on the wooden table with a rustling sound.

Horizontal stroke, vertical stroke, then pause with your finger, and finally a dot.

There was a snap.

Suddenly, the entire jade talisman lit up with a ball of white light, with tadpole-sized dots constantly moving and floating on it.

"The Ten-Jun Talisman... is complete! By infusing it with true energy, its power can be amplified tenfold in an instant. If there are enough of them, it is not impossible for a Grandmaster to contend with a Venerable."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and gently put down the jade talisman that was shimmering with light.

He was white-bearded, wore a tall hat, and a blue Taoist robe, giving him a rather otherworldly and ethereal appearance.

What's most eye-catching are his hands.

Delicate, slender, and clean.

She was so beautiful that she didn't look like a man, but rather like a well-bred lady who had never lifted a finger.

"Junior brother, what skillful techniques! The title of 'Masterful Hand Liu Miaoxuan' is truly well-deserved." Yan Xuanji, standing to the side of the room, clapped his hands lightly, his eyes full of admiration.

"Oh, what are you saying? How can such a trivial skill compare to Senior Sister's unparalleled swordsmanship?" Liu Miaoxuan said with a smile.

“I still remember your move back then, the Flying Star Nine Spirit Sword technique, it was so skillful, even the Grand Elder praised it highly.” “Hehe, it’s been so many years, it’s amazing that you still remember it.” Yan Xuanji immediately smiled. “Junior brother, you are not bad either. Master’s Nine Wilds Talisman Making Technique… I think you have completely mastered it, and you may even surpass your master.”

“It’s just the surface. It’s only the surface. It’s not even close to Master’s level…” Liu Miaoxuan shook his head and looked up at Yan Xuanji. “The last batch of spirit talismans… has also been completed. According to the ancestors’ predictions, it seems… it’s about to begin.”
