Chapter 391 - 304: Water Evil

Han Yuan could understand Situ Hui’s actions.

After all, this was a legacy Martial Art of the Great Demon Palace, so of course they wouldn’t just let Han Yuan take it so easily.

"In addition, you must not reveal the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill to anyone."

"Otherwise, the Great Demon Palace will hunt you to the ends of the earth."

Situ Hui added.

"Don’t worry, Master. I’m not that foolish."

Han Yuan said with a smile.

Only then did Situ Hui hand the three booklets to Han Yuan.

Seeing the Cultivation Technique he had been searching for so long finally in his hands, Han Yuan was incredibly excited, despite it only being the first three layers.

But with Situ Hui still in front of him, he could only suppress his excitement, calmly opening the three booklets to begin studying them.

The Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill required a Cultivator to absorb the Five Elements Evil Qi to temper their entire body, gradually transforming their Innate Great Demon True Qi into Five Elements Great Demon True Qi.

Thus, the first difficulty of this Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill was the need to gather the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Evil Qi.

Furthermore, due to the constant absorption of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Evil Qi, a Cultivator’s Heart Spirit would gradually be tainted by the Evil Qi, which was highly likely to cause a series of personality changes.

Han Yuan had already encountered this when he was practicing the Innate Great Demon Skill.

However, the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill was far more intense and placed even higher demands on one’s Heart Spirit.

After committing the contents of the three booklets to memory, Han Yuan returned them to Situ Hui and asked, "Master, where can I gather this Heaven and Earth Five Elements Evil Qi?"

Situ Hui smiled slightly. "The Great Demon Palace itself has some in storage..."

"But according to the rules, only those who have made great contributions to the Sect can use it."

"So, you must gather it yourself."

’You shouldn’t have even mentioned it,’ Han Yuan grumbled inwardly.

As if knowing what Han Yuan was thinking, Situ Hui chuckled. "Although I can’t give you the Five Elements Evil Qi from within the Great Demon Palace, there are places in Changming Province that nurture Fire Evil, Water Evil, and Wood Evil."

"I will tell you the locations of these three places."

"As for the Earth Evil and Gold Evil, you will have to find those on your own."

He then took out a map and handed it to Han Yuan.

It was a map of Changming Province with three locations marked on it.

"Then I thank you, Master."

Han Yuan said, cupping his fist.

"Alright... now get out of the Great Demon Palace."

Situ Hui said with a wave of his hand.

Han Yuan didn’t linger, bidding farewell and leaving.

After returning to Mo Xuan Courtyard, Han Yuan fell into contemplation.

’That old fox Situ Hui gave me a Cultivation Technique and provided me with locations... he’s definitely not up to any good.’

’But I can’t see his motives yet.’

’Is he trying to use me to put his two disciples in their place, or does he have some other goal in mind...’

A glint flashed in Han Yuan’s eyes.

He pondered for a long time but still couldn’t find an answer.

But the fox would show its tail eventually.

Han Yuan wasn’t worried.

From the look of things, he had gained quite a lot.

’I shouldn’t overthink it. Since we haven’t turned on each other yet, I should fleece Situ Hui for all he’s worth.’

’I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.’

Han Yuan made up his mind.

It seemed he already felt that a falling out with Situ Hui was inevitable.

...

Soon, news that Han Yuan was being transferred from the Great Demon Palace to Changming Province spread throughout the Great Demon Palace.

"This Han Yuan killed Elder Li in less than a day. It looks like even the Palace Master is afraid of him."

"Seriously, I’ve never seen anyone so vicious. Even Brother Dong and Brother Zheng wouldn’t dare to strike a killing blow against an Elder, but he did."

"Well, you have to have the skill to back it up."

"Exactly! You all know what kind of strength Elder Li had, right?"

"I’m afraid Han Yuan’s strength is even more terrifying than we imagined."

The disciples of the Great Demon Palace were all discussing this matter.

In a dark, secret chamber.

Dong Senwang said helplessly, "It seems even the Palace Master doesn’t dare to keep Han Yuan here anymore."

"I guess Elder Li’s death had some value after all."

The horse-faced man hesitated for a moment before saying, "But Elder Li was on your side."

Dong Sen sneered. "That old fox was just having his idiot son get close to me... In reality, he always kept a certain distance. How could a fence-sitter like him pick a side before the final outcome is decided?"

He thought for a moment, then added, "Do this: send someone to Changming County Town to keep an eye on Han Yuan’s every move. But make sure not to alert him, understand?"

The horse-faced man nodded. "Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I’ll arrange it right away."

Meanwhile.

Zheng Xi was also instructing Ding Ling to do the same thing.

After all, Changming Province City was the Great Demon Palace’s most important territory.

With Situ Hui sending Han Yuan there at this time, no one knew what kind of arrangements were being made behind the scenes. Naturally, they couldn’t afford to be careless.

「The next day.」

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Han Yuan left the Great Demon Palace, heading to Changming Province City alone to assume his new post.

He would be serving as the Supervisor of the Great Demon Palace’s branch in Changming Province City.

As for Song Chen, after seeing Han Yuan off, he heaved a huge sigh of relief.

In any case, they had finally sent this god of slaughter on his way.

There should be some peaceful days ahead.

But Song Chen also knew that Han Yuan would eventually return one day.

And when that time came, his nightmare would begin all over again.

So, he could only pray in his heart that Han Yuan wouldn’t return anytime soon.

...

"Meeow~ It’s so much better outside."

"Inside the Great Demon Palace, there’s no sunlight at all. Lord Meow was about to get depressed."

The Orange Cat complained, standing on Han Yuan’s shoulder.

"I agree, that place was pretty oppressive," Han Yuan nodded.
