Chapter 592: Chapter 280: Emperor’s Son Qin Yao, Qing Ping Divided Sword_2

“The cultivator who came knocking this time has a clear goal. More than likely, he is here for these two Sword Tools.”

Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock, but they quickly fell silent.

…

Elsewhere.

Han Yi was now seated in a cultivator’s tavern, silently congratulating himself.

Earlier.

He had made a split-second decision to strike first. Within a distance of ten meters, he struck Liang Shen hard and fast, catapulting him away and causing the courtyard to collapse in a wave of shock.

At the same time, when he critically injured Liang Shen, he quickly grabbed the two jade boxes in the meditation room, each containing the Sword Tools he sensed. He then left Tan Su, originally kept inside the Qiankun Ring, at the scene to create confusion.

Next, using the Disguise Technique, he hid his presence to the max. Unless one caught sight of him, they would never know he was there. Then, he swiftly fled through a hole in the wall.

However, as his aura fluctuated, he was detected by Cang Kuang in mid-air. Had it not been for Xu Meng, a bona fide disciple who held the Formation’s power and blocked the attack, Han Yi might have had to reveal his strength and presence.

After that.

Taking advantage of the standoff between Cang Kuang and Xu Meng, Han Yi moved stealthily to the edge of the Formation, used the Demonic Dagger to break the Formation, and quietly left the scene.

This time, if not for Cang Kuang’s interference, Han Yi’s slight disturbance when he broke the Formation might have been noticed by Xu Meng, who was holding the Formation disk and controlling the Formations of the establishment.

Calling it a coincidence would be inappropriate. More accurately, Han Yi’s astonishing set of skills allowed him to find opportunities in the crisis and escape accordingly.

Of course.

Even if he were discovered, he could still leave with full power. If someone tried to stop him, he could kill them. However, this would inevitably cause additional damage to his still-recovering body.

Therefore, if he could cleverly acquire what he needed now, there was no need to forcefully seize it.

Han Yi took out the two Sword Tools and carried them on his back. They were part of his strength. Having them readily available could reduce the time it took to retrieve them from the Qiankun Ring when he suddenly encountered enemies.

A moment later.

Seated in the tavern, Han Yi was struck by a thought, recalling the two lines uttered by Cang Kuang in the lightning-flint instant. One word had caught his attention.

“The battle for the Supreme Order Token?”

“The Supreme Order here must be the one that Bao Zhe Sheng was obsessively seeking.”

Han Yi became intensely interested in this token, for its allure was too hard to resist.

The Supreme Order was a token made by the Daqin Emperor himself. It was a precious treasure with magical properties. You could embed it in your body when breaking through to True Monarch. It could increase your chances of success by thirty percent.

This was tantamount to defying the heavens. It increased the success rate for Golden Core Peak cultivators trying to break through to True Monarch by thirty percent on top of the existing rate.

Of course, such treasures were usually given to official cultivators of Daqin. This included those in the Emperor’s lineage, many cultivators employed by the Daqin Immortal Country, as well as those from the Supreme Pavilion.

As such a treasure, even with the Daqin Emperor’s power, only three could be forged every hundred years. It was incredibly rare and highly precious.

Other than official cultivators, some others also had the chance to obtain it. However, the chances were slim. In the last three hundred years, only a Sword Species from Luofu Mountain obtained a Supreme Order and broke through to True Monarch with its help.

Of course, if one did obtain the Supreme Order, one would then owe a huge karmic debt to the Daqin Emperor, which would need to be repaid.

However, the repayment would only be considered after reaching the Spirit Transformation Level.

Therefore, to Golden Core Peak cultivators, this Supreme Order was an irresistible temptation.

“It seems that the new Supreme Order contention battle is near. Even someone as powerful and confident as Cang Kuang, a Half-step Nascent Soul, is doing everything possible to increase his combat power.”

“If there’s a chance, I must participate in this battle. I’m incredibly drawn to this token.”

Han Yi was not the timid cultivator he used to be. When he needed to fight, he would. Especially since this Supreme Order could increase the success rate of a Golden Core Peak cultivator’s Nascent Soul formation.

He was now facing the verge of forming a Nascent Soul, naturally, he had to prepare sufficiently for the breakthrough.

Han Yi stayed at the tavern for an hour before leaving. This time, he changed into the appearance of a cold, middle-aged man, lowering his aura to the Early stage of Gold Core. He then headed in a different direction, where he sensed the presence of the Demonic Broken Sword and the Demonic Inner Armour.

He was grateful.

His four magical items lost outside had not been taken into the Qiankun Ring, but left out, allowing him to sense them. If they were taken into the Qiankun Ring, he wouldn’t be able to sense them and would have to write it off as bad luck. Searching for them in the vast Taijing Immortal City without a specific target would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

A moment later.

Han Yi, disguised as a middle-aged man, stopped in front of a loft.

He looked up at the signboard in front of the loft, his eyebrows furrowed in irritation. The words ‘Supreme Pavilion’ were glaringly visible. This was the local branch of Taijing Immortal City’s Supreme Pavilion.

Just as Han Yi was contemplating the difficulties, the Demonic Inner Armour he was sensing suddenly started moving. It didn’t move towards the sides or the outside – instead, it shot upwards, fleeing into the sky.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Han Yi also flew upwards.
