Chapter 861 - 766: Clash with Hui Taoist

The sky gradually darkened.

Yet, the abnormal phenomena in the void appeared even more dazzling amidst the darkening sky.

Insight into cultivation is not something achieved overnight.

The people who came here naturally didn’t expect to comprehend the scene before them in just three days.

The surroundings were fairly calm and peaceful. Every five days or so of contemplation, everyone would gather to discuss their thoughts.

Shen Han looked at those phenomena in the sky, seemingly not gaining much insight into cultivation.

But he did have some curiosity about what such a mirage truly signified.

After observing here for nearly a month, it seemed that everyone had limited gains, although they were very interested before coming here.

However, now each one appeared somewhat impatient.

People near Qingtian Mountain came in waves.

Coming with great interest, leaving with little interest.

For the younger generation from Five Immortals City who came along, their biggest gain was having the opportunity to exchange cultivation insights closely with Shen Han.

Although Shen Han practiced the old method, he achieved the strength to assassinate an Illusion Realm expert at such a young age.

The experience he shared was undoubtedly highly beneficial for the younger generation.

Half a month had passed here, but Song Xiaobing still hadn’t spoken to Shen Han again and it was unknown what grievances lay in her heart.

The people here waited for a little over a month, and the disciples from Five Immortals City became somewhat impatient, feeling it was a waste of time.

Dean Boliang didn’t say much, and instructed everyone to get ready to leave.

Back and forth, it seemed other sects’ younger generation also stayed for about a month before returning to their sects.

A group of people left together, with Shen Han walking at the back, occasionally glancing back.

The surroundings were still bustling, with people leaving and others arriving.

However, Shen Han felt something was amiss, with a few added notes of vigilance in his expression.

Suddenly, a circle of dark green poisonous fog rapidly rose.

Directly separating Shen Han from the other Five Immortals City disciples.

This circle of dark green poisonous fog surrounded the disciples from Five Immortals City.

Shen Han, instead, was isolated outside.

This method of poisoning, Dean Boliang could tell at a glance, was a usual method of Tiger Peak Manor.

In a flash, two figures appeared, surprisingly You Wanying and Hui Taoist.

Not far away was Shen Ao, who had previously fled.

Dean Boliang had a serious expression, with a broad barrier preventing the poisonous fog’s invasion.

"You Wanying, do you think these poison skills are enough to suppress this old man?"

Upon hearing the words, You Wanying’s gaze didn’t fall on him, but rather on Shen Han, not far away.

"I’m well aware of King Boliang’s reputation. I never thought I could block you with my strength alone.

All I, You Wanying, intend to do is to hold you back."

As she spoke, Hui Taoist leapt forward, holding a duster, slightly saluting everyone present.

"Shen Han, you’re truly cautious, it’s been over two years.

And still haven’t found a trace of you.

If not for some news from Qilin Valley, knowing you once went by an alias, Shen Yun, we’d have thought you escaped to a different realm.

These thirty days, we’ve been constantly looking for an opportunity to strike.

Fortunately, you’ve finally shown some weakness."

You Wanying’s face carried some malice, merely seeing her expression, one could feel her hatred.

"The revenge for my three disciples, regardless of how talented you are, regardless of who supports you.

The promises I, You Wanying, made back then, I will still fulfill.

Today, I will leave you maimed, making you kneel before my disciples’ graves in eternal repentance."

You Wanying’s tone seemed laced with a hint of relief, as if her deep vendetta had been avenged.

"King Boliang, if you intervene, don’t blame me if your disciples behind you get poisoned.

You Illusion Realm experts might withstand it, but I doubt these young ones all possess divine skill to resist the poisonous fog I summoned."

Dean Boliang’s expression grew fierce, having let down his vigilance somewhat.

The overwhelming aura of many strong experts had caused him to lower his guard a bit.

"You Wanying, are you planning to become a full enemy of us, Five Immortals City?

With Five Immortals City flourishing, if you harm those under my protection, do you think you can still be safe?"

Confronted with these threats, You Wanying merely chuckled.

"No matter what, I, You Wanying, am still of Illusion Realm strength.

Though I can’t defeat you, King Boliang, if I wish to escape, can you stop me?"

As she spoke, the poisonous fog around her became denser.

Holding a long spear, You Wanying’s task today was not to deal with Shen Han,

but to block King Boliang.

As for Shen Han, Hui Taoist would take care of him.

"Shen Han, haven’t you already gained the strength to ambush me?

Today, we’ve found you a stronger opponent.

Standing before you is Hui Taoist, whose strength exceeds mine by far.

And he has extensive insight into swordsmanship.

Put on a good show, there are quite a few people here, Southern Heaven Continent’s cultivators can behold.

Let’s see how formidable you, who practice the old cultivation method, truly are."

As she finished speaking, You Wanying glanced at Shen Ao beside her.

"The thing I, You Wanying, regret most in this life was accepting a disciple like you.

After dealing with him today, go, kneel with him before your senior siblings’ graves.

Considering our mentoring bond, no further harm will come to you.
