"It's nothing," Han Yi smiled and answered honestly. "I just feel it's a bit of a pity."
Or perhaps the lotus seed reacted too quickly.
Just one step away.
This would successfully bewitch and completely confuse the old man's mind, causing him to attack his own young lady.
At that time, Han Yi only needs to provide some support from the side and guide the conversation when appropriate.
There's a high probability that they'll both perish together.
Thus.
All three—master and servant—were dead, killed in fratricide; a near-perfect murder was thus born. Afterwards, no one would bother Han Yi, nor would anyone obstruct the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's caravan.
Everything is back on track.
What kind of oath can provide such complete, silent insurance?
No.
The dead cannot speak, making them the best keepers of secrets.
"Senior brother?" Lianxin asked cautiously again, her body involuntarily taking a step back.
The atmosphere on the field changed in an instant.
Even the divine sense felt somewhat difficult to penetrate the body. This suffocating feeling was like stepping on sticky riverbank mud. The ground seemed solid, but it was actually incredibly soft, and you could sink into the mud at any moment and never be able to escape.
"If you wanted to make peace, you should have said so from the beginning. Saying it now... is too late." Han Yi grinned. "The people are dead... so it's meaningless!"
"not good!!!"
Lianxin's vision blurred, and she made hand seals, leaving afterimages as two talismans flew out of her hands like lightning.
rumble…...
Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, and dozens of ancient trees burst forth from the ground, each tree like a sharp giant sword covered with spikes, guarding the lotus heart like stars surrounding the moon.
boom!
A dark shadow descended from the sky, violently smashing through a series of large trees before landing in the middle.
call…...
Han Yi did nothing but open his arms. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over him, and in an instant, trees shook, beasts fled, and birds took flight. "This... how is this possible?!"
Using her demonic power, she created leaping lotus hearts that appeared among the trees, hoping to buy some time. However, what she saw when she turned around completely changed her expression.
A fierce wind swept through the entire artificial forest, turning green leaves yellow and trees withering in its wake. At a visible speed, the entire forest seemed to have lost all its vitality, as if all its life force had been sucked away.
"Jump!"
Without any choice.
Lotus Heart can only summon its companion creatures to temporarily avoid the enemy's attacks.
Two large green leaves, resembling rabbit ears, suddenly sprouted from the ground. Using this as leverage, Lianxin shot into the sky like an arrow. Her clothes fluttered in the wind as she retreated over a hundred meters in an instant.
Those two Myriad Trees Supporting the Sky Talismans were life-saving items given to her by her teacher. It is said that once activated, even a powerful expert at the Sun Travel Realm could be trapped for a time.
If even this can't do anything to the other party, then she has even less hope.
"Jump!!"
Lianxin's expression changed again, her divine will revealed, and she frantically called out.
A fierce wind swept in from behind, creating a massive airflow that resembled a vast ocean, where a single wave could easily engulf her.
Lianxin knew without thinking that the other party had caught up.
The large green leaf appeared at just the right moment, landing perfectly on the lotus heart. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and suddenly launched herself into the air at incredible speed.
But the wind was even faster, and before Lianxin could catch her breath, she immediately felt a dangerous gust of air brush against the back of her head.
"Jump!!"
"Jump! Jump!!"
"Jump, jump..."
Lianxin's forehead was covered in sweat. She darted around frantically like a rabbit, using all sorts of methods—spells, talismans, and array flags—but to no avail. She was on the verge of collapse.
"Jump…..."
Even her companion creatures require a considerable amount of mental and demonic energy to summon each time.
The Ten Thousand Trees Sky-Supporting Formation she had just activated had already consumed a lot of her power, and this escape had basically depleted it.
Lianxin didn't take any of her essential life-saving items with her on this trip.
No one expected that a simple exploration of the Central Plains would provoke an enemy of this caliber...
"It should be about time."
Han Yi's eyes narrowed, anticipating Lian Xin's next move.
If no one had died, and if Lianxin and the other two hadn't provoked him in the first place, he wouldn't have had to kill them.
After all, the Ronghua lineage behind the three is now the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, an existence that cannot be offended.
But since someone has already died, there's no need to worry about offending them.
Eliminate as many witnesses as possible; the slower the news gets out, the better.
Wisps of gray energy flowed from Han Yi's palm, mixed with many emerald green crystalline light spots. This was his talent unfolding, absorbing all the life force and vitality in that forest.
The green light spot spun rapidly, and the air around the fist was instantly sucked out, turning into a sharp vortex that flowed into it.
Swish! ! !
Just then, a green light shot over at a speed that even Han Yi couldn't react to. When it landed next to Lian Xin, the green light was like a green silk ribbon, suddenly wrapping around her and then flying high into the sky and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Bang! ! ! !
With only a millisecond's difference, Han Yi's arm slammed into the ground like a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, sand and gravel swirled, and mud and weeds shot into the sky, creating a crater several feet deep.
Han Yi looked into the distance with some surprise.
The green light swept over the lotus heart and disappeared without a trace; even he could only sigh in despair at its speed.
"Interesting. There are quite a few trinkets in the North. A mere Tongxuan-level little guy can't even keep up with my speed." A strange smile appeared on Han Yi's lips.
He slowly turned around and saw Li Feibai and Ye Jindie's bitter smiles.
……………
……………
call out…...
High in the sky, Lianxin lay sprawled like a dead dog, utterly unconcerned about her appearance, on a shimmering green-blue spirit boat, panting heavily. "Teacher, thank goodness you arrived in time... otherwise..." After resting for a while, color finally returned to her delicate face, and she smiled bitterly, her heart filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.
Who could have imagined that Qingzhou, which was considered its own backyard and was known as Little Northern Land, would encounter such danger?
Not only were her two childhood sweethearts, who had followed her for many years, lost, but they also used all their most treasured life-saving methods. They almost didn't make it back.
Thinking back to her near-death experience, the feeling of being just one step away from death, Lianxin still felt a lingering fear.
"We were still a step too late, and Miss was frightened." On the spirit boat was a short old man with wise eyes. He wore a wide blue robe, and his hands occasionally flashed with a blue light.
A bluish light, like smoke, flowed into the small, leaf-like boat beneath its feet. The entire spirit boat momentarily stopped, then its speed increased dramatically, breaking through the air currents and rapidly heading into the distance.
"Upon receiving Miss's plea for help, I immediately set off at breakneck speed. The person's aura was concealed, and although I couldn't discern their strength, their leisurely demeanor clearly indicated that they possessed other methods."
Therefore, I dared not delay and immediately activated the family's airship to take Miss away. It's just a pity for Qingmei and the other two; we were simply unable to manage it." The old man explained the reason while maintaining the operation of the spirit boat.
"Teacher, there is no need to blame yourself. The two elders of Qingmei voluntarily sold themselves into slavery. It is only natural that they stayed behind to delay at the critical moment."
Lianxin offered a few words of comfort, showing no concern whatsoever for Qing Lao's life or death.
Of course, in her eyes, being in the hands of a vicious person like Han Yi made no difference between being alive and dead.
She hesitated for a moment, organizing her thoughts: "I also felt that person... seemed a bit off... Standing in front of him, I always felt a deep-seated fear..."
Their performance was mediocre... but that overwhelming, suffocating sense of pressure... I only ever felt that in those few individuals..."
“Miss, you are unaware of this…” The old man’s face was solemn; as an observer, he could see everything clearly.
That person was more than just strange; he was completely abnormal.
His expression was calm, and his movements were relaxed, as if he were at home, teasing a child, completely disregarding Lianxin's attack.
Each time he blocked an attack, he would let Lianxin continue jumping around. Compared to a real fight, it was more like a master instructing a disciple on skills, without actually getting serious.
When Lianxin ran out of tricks and couldn't come up with anything new, her opponent finally chose to deliver the fatal blow.
“In other words…” Lianxin frowned. As the person involved, she only felt the crisis of losing her life at any moment and did not consider much else.
Now calm down and think about it carefully.
Indeed, she had several instances where her demonic power was depleted, clearly revealing significant weaknesses. Instead of taking advantage of the situation to pursue her, her opponent waited for her to recover before pretending to chase after her.
The opponent's final punch.
Power is concentrated, and strength is gathered.
The mere force of the punch distorted the light, swirled the air, and caused the surrounding air to subtly churn and change like flowing water.
Such terrifying power, even a mere glancing blow could cause the body to explode, the soul to burst open, and death on the spot.
It was just a hair's breadth away. If the teacher had been even a fraction of a second slower, Lianxin would be nothing but bones by now.
Lianxin couldn't believe that a master of this level could miss the flaw she had revealed, given that she could achieve such an effect with a casual move.
There can only be one explanation: this was done intentionally.
"If we consider it from this perspective..." Lianxin seemed to have thought of something, her expression changing, "Could it be... that they want to find out my background... and then find out the background of our Ronghua Mansion?!" "Not the background of Ronghua Mansion..." the old man's voice was deep and mysterious, "I think... it's more like a stranger trying to understand the background of the entire Hundred Veins of the Northern Lands..."
"what?!"
Lianxin was startled, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
"It is said that the demon realm is stirring and may descend upon the mortal world again to start a war... Could it be..."
Clearly, she suspected that a powerful demon was in disguise, attempting to invade the northern lands.
"I don't know. I'm just guessing." The old man shook his head. The power of that punch from behind was still chilling to the bone, even for someone of his level.
"If he is truly a member of the Hundred Veins and possesses such strength, he is definitely not an unknown figure."
And no matter how low-key or secretive this person is, someone of their level couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with our Ronghua Manor. After all... the existence of our Ronghua Manor is no secret..."
Lianxin immediately fell silent.
The entire spirit boat fell silent.
Only the high-speed airflow from both sides hits the cyan protective shield, making a whooshing sound.
