Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 830 Hide and Seek (Part Two)

"Wait!"

Tantai Xunzhen's expression was solemn. He held a bright, ruby-like jade bead in one hand and raised the other hand to stop the woman.

“If your sister is still alive… then a little earlier or a little later… it won’t matter.”

"But..." The woman's eyes were full of pleading, her gaze constantly drifting towards the courtyard.

“There are no ‘buts’,” Tantai Xunzhen said coldly. “If your sister is already dead… then there’s even less reason to rush.”

"..."

The woman was speechless, her eyes filled with sorrow and pleading as she looked at Tantai Xunzhen. Her hair was disheveled, rainwater streaming down her wet strands, leaving her looking utterly wretched. "..."

Tantai Xunzhen was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Let's go back first. Your sister... I will do my best. She's restless and listless... If you stay here... it will only alert her and have the opposite effect."

"...Alright...I'll leave everything to Lord Xunzhen..." The woman had no choice but to retreat for the time being.

Within the vast Tantai family, there was a strict hierarchy with clear distinctions of status and rank.

As a true direct descendant and core member of the family, Tantai Xunzhen is one of the few people who can influence Tantai Sheng's decisions.

So even if the woman was unwilling, she had no choice but to obey Tantai Xunzhen's order and reluctantly retreat.

Standing in front of the courtyard gate, gazing into the courtyard.

Tantai Xunzhen raised his hand and looked at the Spirit Jade in his hand. He couldn't help but sigh again.

The disappearance of ordinary tribesmen was not originally her responsibility.

With such a large family and so many members, it's perfectly normal for some members to go missing or have accidents.

It was only through the layers of reporting that certain characteristics emerged, coupled with the subtle warnings from the Spirit Jade, that she finally paid attention.

"My lord, we..." A trusted aide stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Tantai Xunzhen remained silent.

Instead, he carefully examined the situation in the yard.

The courtyard was shrouded in a hazy, gray mist, with fine rain lines like black cloth. The outlines of the buildings were faintly visible in the darkness, and the silence was eerily quiet.

"Big...Big brother...has done all he could...so...I..."

. "

Tantai Xunzhen took a deep breath, recalling the various mistakes he had made in his youth, and couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

The reason she fled her family and the capital, enduring a long and arduous journey through several large states, including Pingzhou and Yunzhou…

Isn't it just because of the so-called family destiny that they want to break free from the shackles that have been weighing them down since birth?

Although she had many brothers and sisters, she had none who shared her ideals and beliefs, and whom she could trust and rely on.

Tantai Xunzhen once thought in despair.

Apart from her, there would be no other awakened person in the family who wanted to change the fate they were burdened with and break free of their shackles.

She was the only one on this lonely road.

Tantai Xunzhen never expected this.

Among all members of the Tantai family, he is the one who values ​​the family's interests most, the most steadfast supporter of the family, and also the greatest beneficiary of the family's destiny...

The eldest brother, Tantai Sheng, also wanted to break free of his shackles and change the family's destiny.

His methods were simply more subtle, more sophisticated, and more successful.

If you don't do anything, you will be a surprise when you do.

In a short period of time, before the brothers and sisters could even react, their power was completely swallowed up.

For the sake of appearances, they even sent out pursuers to relentlessly hunt down Tantai Xunzhen.

The ruthlessness, decisiveness, and formidable strength he displayed...

no doubt.

Tantai Sheng's outstanding performance led the family elders to designate him as the family heir at a young age.

Tantai Sheng naturally ascended to power, taking control of the world and dominating his family...

The result was a series of reform policies...

This surprised many people.

“Red Mansion… Jade Pavilion… Brother’s methods… are truly brilliant…” Tantai Xunzhen sighed, feeling inferior.

Her petty acts of resistance, at most resulting in the death or injury of a few people.

Compared to Tantai Sheng, they are simply not up to par.

Setting up the Red Mansion and Jade Pavilion, increasing population, extracting bloodlines, amplifying concentration...

Starting from the root cause, the solution lies in resolving the infighting among the Tantai people, separating them from their bloodline, and maintaining the destiny of the sealed passage.

Tantai Xunzhen learned all of this.

I understand many things that I didn't understand before.

After reuniting with several family members she had mistakenly believed to be dead.

Only then did he understand his elder brother's good intentions. As a result, Tantai Xunzhen completely forgave Tantai Sheng's actions from the bottom of his heart and resolved to do everything he could to help him achieve his goal.

“I just promised my elder brother… I would be in charge of the family affairs… I never expected…” A shadow slowly crept into Tantai Xunzhen’s eyes. “Let’s go. Let me see… who… dares to cause trouble in my Tantai family!”

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head. Even through the veil, a hint of determination could be seen on her face.

Da da da…

Lift your foot and clench the magic jade.

The group followed Tantai Xunzhen and slowly stepped across the threshold.

The boots slammed into the ground, splashing raindrops all around.

The group of figures slowly disappeared into the gray mist.

creak...

A gust of wind blew by, and raindrops began to fall.

The gate slowly closed, leaving only a crack, as if it could be pushed open at any moment.

……………

……………

"The demonic energy at the core... is truly extraordinary..."

Han Yi wandered around the vast, dark space and soon discovered seven or eight large monsters that resembled minotaurs.

However, these monsters were different from the minotaurs; they had no intelligence whatsoever and charged at them with howling screams.

Having realized this, Han Yi lost his patience and instantly killed the opponent in one move.

Even though they are all demonic energy that can be absorbed.

The difference between these monsters and those imprisoned in the upper stone chamber for a long time, their life force almost completely extinguished, is that the demonic energy within these monsters is incredibly pure and active.

After absorption and transformation, there is almost no loss.

Therefore, Han Yi became even more interested in exploring this environment.

thump thump thump...

Another layer of rock wall blocked our way.

Han Yi knocked very politely.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

Although the space here is large, you will often encounter rock walls that separate you from one another.

It seems someone is deliberately creating obstacles to lead people in a particular direction.

The echoing tapping sound lingered for a long time, but no one answered.

"Excuse me." Han Yi took a step back, his face seemingly apologetic. Boom!!!

With a lightning-fast punch, a solid rock wall at least five or six meters thick collapsed and crumbled like tofu.

Still nothing...

A dark glint flashed in Han Yi's eyes, and he shook his head and sighed.

As the first intelligent being he encountered, he found much of what the minotaur said very interesting.

Listen to what it means.

It seems that the former Yuanmiao Sect was just one of the members under the rule of the Great You.

The magic array here was also built and sealed by Yuanmiao Sect under the order of Emperor You.

The kingdom fell, and dynasties changed.

It's not a strange thing.

The key is.

Such a vast empire, ruling over all the hundred races, including the human race.

It perished just like that, without a sound.

Even relics, heritage, and records are extremely rare.

At most, some incomprehensible text and obscure accents remain.

Even the true reason for the destruction of the Great You Sect, the Yuanmiao Sect, the Great Xuan Royal Family, the Demon Saint Palace... all those who knew the truth back then remained silent, destroyed records, and tried their best to cover up the facts...

That's intriguing.

"Inner core... Divine infant..." Recalling the words the minotaur had uttered, Han Yi became even more interested.

"Damn damn damn!!!"

The minotaur hid in a dark corner, his face turning almost green with fear.

His explanation to Han Yi was deceptive; he lied and lied about some things. But some things were indeed his personal experiences.

For example, at the beginning, he really was the guard who was in charge of the sealing formation here.

They had been there for far too long, and reinforcements were slow to arrive, leaving no one to replace them.

Mental breakdown, coupled with the shattering of the magic array,

Finally, the leaked demonic energy corrupted and mutated, eventually turning it into a member of the demon race.

Using the remaining magic array, the minotaurs continuously created roadblocks and barriers, attempting to isolate Han Yi and lure him into the most dangerous area.

What he didn't expect was...

The opposing team completely defied common sense, overcoming all obstacles and building bridges over all obstacles.

They don't turn at all when they walk; they walk in a straight line.

"This guy...this guy...and he claims to be human?!" The minotaur's face turned green with fright. "A human with such power? Just with his physical body? I'm afraid that demon is trying to trick me."

Han Yi charged recklessly through the crowd, ignoring dozens of obstacles as they rushed straight towards him.

What terrifies the Minotaur even more is...

He was already panting heavily from manipulating the magic array, but the other side was completely unharmed and didn't even utter a sound.

It's as easy as eating and drinking.

Terrifying strength, boundless endurance, and an almost superhuman defense…

The minotaurs racked their brains but couldn't figure out which legendary race possessed such a characteristic.

therefore.

He simply didn't believe what Han Yi said—that it was just a human's opinion.

What a joke. In his mind, humans... are only good at logistical work like craftsmen, doctors, and forgers.

Combat and fighting... that would be a bit difficult.

"It seems... we have no choice but to take the risk..."

As Han Yi drew ever closer, the minotaur gritted his teeth and made a decision.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to do that.

The risk is extremely high.

It could even be described as risking one's life.

If the other side continues to act so recklessly, it probably won't be long before they find him.

The seal is about to be broken.

Finally, there was hope of seeing the light of day again.

He doesn't want to die.

Especially to die at the hands of the other party. He had seen everything clearly along the way Han Yi had just arrived.

All the monsters it killed were completely devoured, leaving not even a trace, let alone their corpses.

"what?"

Han Yi, who seemed to be wandering aimlessly, suddenly raised his head and grinned.

"Got you!!!"

A bright, undisguised aura, like a mouse spotting an old cat, was rapidly moving away from him.

"Want to run?!"

Han Yi suddenly unleashed a large amount of black gas from his legs, shooting into the sky like a rocket.

*Sizzle*

A black meteor, carrying terrifying heat and a bright trail of fire, vanished in an instant.

With a deafening roar, as if a meteorite had fallen, countless fragments of rock flew everywhere, instantly igniting the air and filling the entire space with the acrid smell of smoke and fire.
