“Han Yi, that’s a good name.”
“Alright, Heavenly Will Sect, Heavenly Will… hmm?”
The gentle voice paused abruptly, as if choked, before squeezing out another sentence.
“Not bad, you can go.”
Han Yi bowed and turned to leave.
Other cultivators who had come out of the Cave Heaven all memorized his name.
“Han Yi of the Heavenly Will Sect.”
Only Shen Yuan of Tai Xu Sect and Jiang Bo and Cui Xingchen of the same Xuandan Sect showed puzzled expressions.
Han Yi quietly retreated, but a resentful gaze fell upon him, causing him to pause.
Following the gaze, he met Fu You’s bloodthirsty eyes.
Han Yi withdrew his gaze.
This person harbored no small hostility towards him, and Han Yi could roughly guess the reason. In the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, he and Fu You competed for the Yujing Order, and in the end, he won by a single move, leaving Fu You with resentment in his heart.
This time, he had inflicted heavy damage on Fu You again, deepening the enmity.
However, Han Yi was not afraid. If they met again, he would kill Fu You.
After that.
He no longer paid attention to Fu You and walked towards the back, only to find Master Tian Xin, who had been sitting at the last banquet seat earlier, had disappeared without a trace.
A thought crossed Han Yi’s mind, and he naturally followed Jiang Bo and Cui Xingchen back to the Xuandan Sect’s cultivators.
“Junior Brother Han, weren’t you at Xuanxue Peak? How are you here, and why did you say you’re from the Heavenly Will Sect?”
Cui Xingchen asked in a low voice, but was stopped by Han Yi, who nodded in understanding and did not bring it up again.
In Daqian Immortal Palace, even if they whispered quietly, Han Yi was afraid of being overheard by others. Those Spirit Transformation stage experts and Nascent Soul Monarchs might be able to hear even telepathic messages, let alone whispers.
Cui Xingchen changed the subject.
“By the way, Junior Brother Han, how many Spirit Jades did you get? Elder Qin said that a fist-sized Spirit Jade is worth one Foundation Establishment Pill. Unfortunately, I almost got one, but it was snatched away by a cultivator from the Chixiao Sword Sect. They are too hateful!” Cui Xingchen grumbled a few words.
Jiang Bo’s face was joyful, “Junior Brother Cui, when entering the Treasured Jade Heaven, Elder Qin didn’t care about us getting Spirit Jades, but told us to protect our lives first.”
“The foundation of those sacred lands, the three great sects, and the old Nascent Soul sects isn’t comparable to our Xuandan Sect.”
“However, 1 had good luck and got one without being robbed.”
Han Yi was silent.
Because in his storage bag, there were nearly sixty scattered Spirit Jades alone, not to mention the two skull-sized Spirit Jade pieces.
That huge Spirit Jade piece could already be called a treasure.
Of course, he wouldn’t take it out, and he had made up his mind that once he returned to the Xuandan Sect this time, he would close himself off and refine the Spirit Jades first to improve his realm.
Next.
The eighth celebration began, this time it was for cultivators at the Foundation Building Middle Level.
During this seven-day and seven-night banquet, the entire Immortal Court seemed no different from daytime due to the Heavenly Creations by the Tiangong Ministry, one of the Daqian Six Ministries.
After more than a dozen celebrations, the grand finale was a debate between Duke Dingguo of Daqian and a Daoist from Yujing Mountain on the Immortal Palace’s stage. Even if one couldn’t understand, Han Yi felt that his whole body had undergone a special baptism.
Seven days later.
After the celebration ended, Han Yi followed everyone back to the collapsed courtyard of the Xuandan Sect, only to realize that the courtyard of the Heavenly Will Sect and the courtyard of the Xuandan Sect were actually next to each other. If it weren’t for Master Tian Xin’s Hunyuan Ruyi Array, he would have gathered with the Xuandan Sect members long ago.
When Qin Wuxian appeared again and dismissed everyone else, leaving only Han Yi behind, he learned what had happened to Han Yi.
However, Han Yi did not elaborate on his two fights with Lu Zhi and Yuan Changtian, but glossed over the matter, simply saying that he had been hunted down and happened to meet Master Tian Xin, who took him on the Immortal Boat to Immortal City.
When he heard that the Xuandan Sect’s Immortal Boat had been attacked by the Blood God Sect, a flash of killing intent appeared in Qin Wuxian’s eyes.
In fact, the time when Qin Wuxian led the people of the Xuandan Sect out of the Mountain Gate to Daqian Immortal City was earlier than the time when Han Yi was attacked; he didn’t know that more than 60 inner disciples and eight Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the Xuandan Sect had been attacked.
“Hmph, the remnants of the Blood God Sect are hiding quite deep.”
“A year and a half ago, Master Yuan wasn’t absent from hunting down the remnants of the Blood God Sect, as well as Feng Wusheng of the Heavenly Soul Sect, but after scouring Shu State, he only killed a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who had exposed themselves.”
“I didn’t expect that there would still be more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage Blood God Sect remnants lurking in Nanyang County.”
“No, not necessarily; those Blood God Sect remnants that attacked you might have fled from Daqian and then returned. That could explain it.”
“It seems that after we return this time, 1 will have to take action myself and eradicate the remnants of these two sects.”
After finished speaking, Qin Wuxian suppressed his killing intent and looked at Han Yi, frowning slightly.
“Master Tian Xin is actually targeting you, there must be a reason for this. Han Yi, you need to be cautious and careful.”
“Monarch cultivators are not easy to deal with, and they are not as simple as they seem.”
“Forget it, this time you follow us, and once we return to the sect, even if it’s a Nascent Soul Monarch, they wouldn’t dare come to Xuandan Sect and forcibly take you as a disciple, right?”
Han Yi nodded furiously. Elder Qin had spoken his mind.
“You rest first. With me here, even if Master Tian Xin comes in person, he won’t be able to take you away from me.”
“According to the plan, the birthday reward will be handed out in three days. However, those rewards are usually given to the descendants of the Daqian Emperor, the three dukes, and the disciples of the two sacred lands and the three great sects; they have little to do with us.”
“After three days, we will set off to return to the sect, even a Monarch wouldn’t be able to pinpoint and intercept us.”
Qin Wuxian added.
Han Yi nodded again, his face showing relief as if he had escaped a catastrophe.
Throughout this journey, he had been genuinely worried and scared, especially after hearing the two disciples of Master Tian Xin recounting their ‘great achievements’ and deducing that Master Tian Xin had offended all the three Dukes of Daqian, and made countless enemies. Han Yi couldn’t wait to escape from his clutches at once.
Being able to return to the Xuandan Sect and get back on the right track of cultivation was naturally what he desperately hoped for.
Three days later.
A list of Daqian’s rewards was handed over to the cultivators of various sects who had attended this birthday celebration by the Immortal Courtesy Department, one of the Daqian Six Ministries.
Among them.
There was a cultivator whose sect affiliation drew everyone’s attention.
The Daqian Emperor bestowed upon Han Yi of the Heavenly Will Sect a magic treasure, the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword, a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, and the position of the Department of Punishment’s Fourth Rank Patrol Envoy..
