Han Yi didn’t say anything, but bowed in respect.
“No need for formalities. Where is Yuan Shun?” Tan Xiao asked softly, her face gentle.
Qin Wuxian raised his head, explaining that Yuan Shun was in poor health and was currently in secluded cultivation at the Xuandan Peak.
Tan Xiao and the three Monarchs sitting next to her didn’t say anything when they heard the words “Xuandan Peak”, only their gazes flickered slightly.
Then, Tan Xiao turned her eyes to Han Yi.
“I’ve heard that a remarkable Golden Core cultivator has emerged from the
Xuandan Sect in this generation.”
“No wonder you’ve earned the Emperor’s favor, you’re really something.
“Alright, you can leave now.”
Han Yi was slightly startled and before he could react, he was already being led away by Qin Wuxian.
Before leaving, he bowed to Song He, who was standing at the back. Song He nodded in response.
After Qin Wuxian left, the other three Monarchs sitting there all looked at Han Yi, but didn’t say anything. One of them, however, had a shimmering gaze.
Han Yi didn’t recognize this person, but Qin Wuxian did.
This person was none other than the Deputy Head of the Wanfa Sect, Monarch Yuanlong.
The Wanfa Sect, one of the eight great Nascent Soul Sects, had two Monarchs. One was the Sect Head, Monarch Wanfa; the other was the Deputy Head,
Monarch Yuanlong.
However,
Monarch Yuanlong’s gaze didn’t reveal any emotion. He simply looked at Han Yi normally, but the gears in his mind were already turning.
On the other side,
Qin Wuxian pulled Han Yi away from the hovering carpet, his eyebrows knitted together in concern.
“You’ve offended the Duke of Zhennbei?”
Han Yi was startled and shook his head, but Qin Wuxian only gave a cold snort.
“The Duke of Zhennbei praising you in public is not a good thing, it’s a trap.
“Do you know who the three Monarchs sitting with the Duke of Zhennbei were?”
Not waiting for Han Yi’s answer, Qin Wuxian began explaining himself, “The one on the left was Tan Li, the Commander of the Duke’s Residence. He’s Tan Xiao’s right-hand man, and all three major powers under the Duke report directly to him.”
“The one on the right was Monarch Liu Su from the Southern Dipper Divine Palace. You saw Jiang Jiuge standing behind him. Monarch Liu Su is Jiang
Jiuge’s master.”
“The second one on the right was Monarch Yuanlong from the Wanfa Sect. Of course, I don’t need to tell you about the relationship between the Wanfa Sect and our sect.”
By the time Qin Wuxian finished speaking, he was sneering continually.
Meanwhile, Han Yi felt a chill run up his spine.
The Wanfa Sect and Jiang Jiuge were either overt or covert enemies of the Xuandan Sect. Having caught the eye of their Monarchs was a terrible thing to happen.
“But you don’t have to worry. This time, not only the Duke of Zhennbei, but also the National Guardian Duke, the Champion Marquis, the Sacred Land and other major sects are here. Even the Monarchs won’t dare to act in public.” “However, you’ll need to be careful not to fall into their traps.
Qin Wuxian launched the Immortal Boat, allowing it to float normally, sustained only by Spirit Stones and without the need for control by his thought. Then, he just stopped bothering, sat down to meditate, leaving everything else to the Duke of Zhennbei’s arrangements. The other sects gathered nearby did the same.
Just after he sat down to meditate, Han Yi, who was standing on the Immortal Boat, did not use his Qi Observation Skill to look around. Just as Qin Wuxian had said, at the outer fringes of the Blood Sea that had exploded, Golden Core cultivators were the lowest level. There were not a few Nascent Soul Monarchs, and even the Spirit Transformation Lord, the National Guardian Duke had arrived.
What he needed to do now was to keep as low a profile as possible.
However,
Although he wanted to keep a low profile, someone wasn’t making it easy.
“Ha-ha, Heavenly Will, my disciple, you are not easy to find.”
A carefree voice echoed through the air, and a cultivator with an austere and immaculate demeanor in a Daoist robe approached swiftly, landed on the Immortal Boat, and walked towards Han Yi.
“My good disciple, let’s go. Your master is taking you back to our sect.”
Han Yi looked at the Daoist who had landed on the Immortal Boat and was walking towards him. His heart pounded rapidly.
This Daoist was none other than Master Tian Xin.
It wasn’t long ago that Han Yi had returned to the sect from the Blood Sea, had been attacked by the remnants of the Blood God Sect, and after killing Yuan Changtian, had been taken to Qian Du by Tian Xin.
Seeing Tian Xin again now, Han Yi couldn’t help but feel an ominous premonition.
However,
Back then, he was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and was severely injured. Now, he had formed his Core and was many times stronger than he was then.
As Han Yi’s strength grew, his mindset changed accordingly.
Qin Wuxian had already gotten up and was bowing respectfully to Master Tian Xin, “Junior Qin Wuxian of the Xuandan Sect pays respect to the Monarch.” Master Tian Xin nodded his head and was about to speak, but there was another Sword Cultivator right behind him, landing on the Immortal Boat.
“Junior Uncle, is this your third disciple?”
“However, he doesn’t seem to have the favor of Heavenly Will.”
This cultivator was a young man, and compared to the indifferent Master Tian Xin, his presence was more like mountains and oceans. His aura was even stronger than Jiang Jiuge’s, which startled Han Yi.
A name came to his mind.
Lv Bai.
Master of Heavenly Secrets, ninth on the Master List, Master Lv Bai.
He is a Golden Core Peak cultivator of the Heavenly Will Sect, just one step away from becoming a Monarch. He even has a record of fighting Monarchs without losing.
“However, the favor of Heavenly Will may not be accurate on other cultivators. If you can survive my one sword strike, then it’s considered as the will of Heaven.”
Han Yi shivered. How could he block a sword from the ninth-ranked in the Master List with his head?
Fortunately, Lv Bai didn’t draw his sword right then and there, but just shook his head.
“What a pity, Junior Brother, you’re too weak. Let’s talk again when you reach the late-stage Golden Core. By then, I might have formed my infant. That’s also a problem. Well, we’ll see.”
Listening to Lv Bai’s mutterings, Han Yi was scared stiff.
The expression on Qin Wuxian’s face changed as well.
Han Yi might not know how powerful Lv Bai was, but Qin Wuxian knew it all too well. In terms of combat power, Lv Bai could even be ranked in the top three of the Master List. It’s just that his somewhat neurotic behavior had limited his ranking, which was why he could only be ranked ninth.
Even Qin Wuxian couldn’t take Lv Bai’s one sword strike, let alone Han Yi.
Qin Wuxian didn’t dare let the two of them keep talking and hurriedly intervened:
“Monarch, and Cultivator Lv, you’re joking.”
“Han Yi is a disciple of our Xuandan Sect. We have records of everything since he joined at the age of eighteen. If you have any doubts, you can check the archives of our sect.”
“In addition, our Sect Master Yuan Shun has mentioned the Monarch not long ago, expressing his gratitude for the Monarch’s help to Han Yi. If you are not bothered, you are welcome to visit Xuandan Peak after the Blood Sea catastrophe.”
Master Tian Xin didn’t show any expression when he heard the name ‘Yuan Shun’, but when he heard ‘Xuandan Peak’, his eyes gleamed and he gulped. Suddenly, his eyes shone with a bright light, and he said with a smile, “No problem. The disciples of our Heavenly Will Sect are not necessarily limited to our sect.”
“So, Han Yi is both a disciple of your Xuandan Sect and my disciple.
“There’s no conflict between these two. What do you think?”
