"Enough! With your strength, it's a bit much to bully the weak!"
Lianxin flashed and stood firmly in front of Elder Qing, her expression indifferent, her voice cold and shrill, and invisible waves emanated from her body to the surroundings.
Immediately, both Elder Qing and Han Yi heard a harsh, grating sound, like the grating sound waves produced by fingernails rubbing against the surface of a blackboard, making them want to vomit.
Han Yi was alright, he just felt the voice was a bit unpleasant. With his physical strength, let alone this little bit of noise, even if Lian Xin shouted at full power, it wouldn't have much of an effect on him.
But Elder Qing was different. His mind was already on the verge of collapse, almost losing control, and on the verge of going berserk. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if the sound waves had penetrated him from the inside out. He clutched his head, collapsed to the ground, and howled in pain.
After a few breaths, he was in so much pain that he fainted.
Just before she lost consciousness, she seemed to faintly hear a strange giggling sound in her ear.
The voice sounded like laughter, a kind of regretful laughter.
"Who exactly are you?" Lianxin's flippant smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Phoenix Perch Palace? Ice Nether Sect? Or the Middle Yi School?"
The families she mentioned were all among the top in the Hundred Clans and had significant conflicts with the Ronghua Mansion.
She clearly suspected that hostile forces were interfering and deliberately sending people to obstruct her.
"An ordinary person. I am just an ordinary person, of humble status and humble origin, an ordinary person in every way." Han Yi said calmly, "Saintess Lianxin is overthinking it." "An ordinary person?" Lianxin gave him a deep look, her expression hard to describe. Would an ordinary person dare to oppose their Ronghua lineage, or even directly kill someone?
Despite activating her divine soul several times and using all her divine sense to sense Han Yi's background, she still couldn't detect anything.
Breathing, heartbeat, blood circulation... he seemed to be just an ordinary person, the kind of ordinary human without any trace of cultivation.
This is an extremely ordinary mortal.
If it were anywhere else, Lianxin would have glanced at it and wouldn't have paid any attention to it.
It can be placed in the present.
This is the biggest anomaly.
He was able to roam freely between the North and the Central Plains on his own, and even capture hundreds of slaves to bring back.
In any case, he couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.
not to mention…...
Lianxin slightly raised her head, her divine sense dispersing and slowly seeping into the space above Han Yi.
A giant, human-faced snake, emitting eerie chuckles, swirled and slithered through the air, howling back and forth above the other's head, its long tail hanging down naturally and coiling around the arm.
Seemingly sensing her attention, the human-faced snake slowly raised its head, revealing a pale, enormous human face covered in patterns.
The face suddenly grinned, a strange, fake smile stretching from the corners of its mouth to its ears, and let out a silent roar at Lianxin.
Upon closer inspection, this enormous human face is clearly composed of a mosaic of terrifying human faces. It's impossible to know how many people died, or how many eyes, noses, and mouths were used to create such a colossal face that would give anyone a nightmare.
"An ordinary person?" Lianxin slowly closed her eyes, quickly withdrawing her divine sense to prevent damage to her mind. "Capable of raising demonic pets..."
Will he be an ordinary person?
"We've been discovered?" Han Yi raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. This was the first time in so long that someone had seen through the Night Wanderer's existence and revealed its true nature in a single sentence.
With just a little illusion and some verbal provocation, a powerful expert at the Tongxuan level was killed so easily, without the expert lifting a finger.
Tongxuan is a cultivation term in the Hundred Meridians system.
In the context of Yunzhou martial arts, he is roughly somewhere between a Grandmaster and a Venerable.
Such power is utterly ineffective against the mind-erosion of those who wander at night; it only requires a moment of gentle bewilderment.
Suddenly, Qing Lao's target changed from Han Yi to his good sister.
Faced with the all-out attack from his relatives, Mr. Mei was completely unprepared and never even considered it.
Therefore, the ending was predetermined from the start. "Aside from those lunatics of the Nine Yin School, there aren't many people among the Hundred Meridians with this ability." Lianxin pursed her pale lips, her face grim. "Unfortunately, I've had dealings with you... a few times..."
"I see." Han Yi said thoughtfully, his interest in the Hundred Meridians growing stronger.
Before we even truly arrived in the North, one surprise after another appeared before our eyes.
His first encounter with several members of the Hundred Meridians revealed a cultivation system that was clearly different from the martial arts of Yunzhou.
It's all about Soul Vessel Star Essence, nurturing demons, and a whole host of other new terms.
With the few words left by Chun Rongrong, Han Yi was already able to vaguely sketch out the scenery of the Northland in his mind.
It was a vast and colorful territory, rich in beauty, inhabited by demons and monsters, humans and demons, completely different from the Great Xuan.
"This time, it was my Ronghua family that was at fault first. May I ask which senior brother of the Nine Yin School you are? It was just a small conflict, there is no need to make it a deadly feud." Lianxin secretly probed Han Yi's background several times with her divine sense, but she failed each time. She simply gave up and treated Han Yi as a member of the Nine Yin School.
Among the many forces in the North, there are those who dare to risk a backlash at any time to raise demons and even use them as their main means of fighting enemies.
There is only one school of thought: the Nine Yin School.
But what about the people of the Nine Yin School?
The best approach is to show weakness and lower your stance.
The members of the Nine Yin Sect, who are constantly exposed to demonic energy, cultivate demonic bodies, and dance with demons, are all short-tempered and eccentric, and are ready to fight to the death at the slightest disagreement.
The Nine Yin Madman, who is prone to self-destruction of his soul, experiments with human-demon fusion, or even engages in human-demon romance, is best avoided.
This is common knowledge shared by all the local people in the North.
After all, he's been called the Nine Yin Madman. What logic can a madman possibly have?
Although Lianxin was in the caravan, she immediately took a liking to Zhong Yunxiu, a beautiful young woman with a gentle and generous temperament.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and submit.
"This isn't considered a blood feud?" Han Yi was taken aback and looked to the side. "Does someone's death not constitute a blood feud?"
The two old women who attacked him just now.
Needless to say, Old Mei has long since turned into a pile of black ash.
Old Qing was kneeling blankly before the black ash, his eyes lifeless and his face vacant. Clearly, he was also deeply saddened and his spirit was broken.
The person is dead, and that doesn't mean they've become enemies...
Han Yi was not used to the northern way of doing things for a while.
"It's just returning to the mother tree, not a true death," Lianxin explained simply. "Back then, they signed a slave contract, and it was our Ronghua family that resolved a major problem for them."
Otherwise, these two would have perished more than a decade ago for offending someone. They've lived a carefree life for so long, and to die for the Ronghua family is a glorious death indeed.
There was one thing she didn't say.
Even if Elder Mei could be resurrected, with his completely shattered soul and insufficient strength, the resurrected person would only look similar but be a completely different person in terms of thoughts, inner qualities, and personality.
of course.
Lianxin had her reasons for saying that.
Try to downplay major issues and make things sound calm and unassuming. When things are small, they are easier to resolve.
It is true that Qingmei and her two elders are Lianxin's servants, but servants of this strength are few and far between, even within the Ronghua family.
"So... since the responsibility lies with me, I will offer generous compensation as an apology." Lianxin's tone was sincere. "I've disturbed your business and caused you trouble. If you wish, I can personally apologize afterwards, and this matter will be over. What do you say, Senior Brother?"
Han Yi's eyes were calm, revealing no emotion.
This lotus heart... I guess he mistook it for some kind of Nine Yin School person.
That's why their attitude made a complete 180-degree turn.
After Han Yi achieved the Hunyuan Tianluo Dao, he concealed his aura, and all his true strength, spiritual seeds, and internal energy merged into Hunyuan gray energy, which was hidden in the Netherworld Pearl.
Simply observing the surface.
In reality, all that remains is a strong physical body, with no discernible energy flow within. Even the legendary founder of the Yuanmiao Sect, upon personal examination, could not discern any specific clues. This situation, at least in terms of characteristics, corresponds to the Nine Yin School, which specializes in cultivating demonic bodies and raising demonic creatures.
In particular, the eerie, human-faced giant snake that roams at night can be mistaken for the real thing even in front of genuine members of the Nine Yin School.
It's no wonder that Lianxin made a mistake.
The key is.
Han Yi is not!
Afterwards, Lianxin only needed to inquire a little... without asking anyone else, just by asking Li Feibai and the other two, she could easily find out Han Yi's identity.
What if there's some retaliation later...?
Han Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed.
"Why are you sighing, Senior Brother?" Lianxin seemed to sense danger and forced a smile. "Are you still worried about the trouble afterward?"
"Senior brother, please rest assured. I, Lianxin, swear in the name of the Mother Tree that I will absolutely not cause you any trouble in any form afterward, neither directly nor indirectly." "In that case... Senior brother, can you rest assured?"
The vow seemed to be made with great weight. After Lianxin finished speaking, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if Han Yi would have no doubts as long as he heard those words.
only…...
What Lianxin saw was when she looked up.
Han Yi, however, had a strange expression on his face.
If swearing an oath were effective, what would be the point of breaking an oath?
Aren't vows meant to be broken?
As a materialist, he even used the statues of gods in the Taoist temple to chop firewood in his time of need, so why would he care about these things?
Han Yi could only trust himself.
Only by becoming strong can one truly and eternally continue to exist.
That is the guarantee that the oath will remain in effect.
And now…
The Ronghua Mansion's power clearly surpasses that of Han Yi...
"..." Han Yi sighed again.
"Senior brother?" Lianxin asked cautiously, like a frightened little animal.
