Chapter 685: Chapter 663: At This Moment, Tiger Peak Manor
Tiger Peak Manor.
In the manor, white banners are hung everywhere.
Throughout the entire manor, no one has a smile on their face.
Yu Yan’s unexpected death has shocked the entire manor.
For many years, not even the guards of Tiger Peak Manor have been injured.
But this time, a Core Disciple has died directly.
Two guards, one of whom perished.
The other is severely poisoned.
The guards of Tiger Peak Manor, known for their expertise in the Poison Path, have been poisoned, and their days are numbered...
This time, Tiger Peak Manor not only suffered damage but also humiliation.
And Shen Han’s actions completely disregarded Tiger Peak Manor.
Fifteen miles south of Tiger Peak Manor.
This is the manor’s cemetery.
In the Southern Heaven Continent, fifteen symbolizes remembrance and nostalgia.
Many visiting the cemetery choose to walk fifteen miles.
Thus expressing their remembrance and longing in their hearts.
Today is the day of burial.
There is a vast difference in the funeral rites between those who die tragically and those who pass away from natural causes.
The coffin holds Yu Yan’s remains.
But the spiritual lid of this coffin remains half-open.
After a tragic death, to be laid to rest, the lid must be closed.
In Tiger Peak Manor’s tradition, only after avenging the enemy can the lid be closed.
Before avenging, the lid cannot be closed, and the earth cannot cover.
The coffin can only remain open in this cemetery.
Several guards carry the coffin, walking to the cemetery on foot.
You Wanying and her disciples follow behind the pallbearers.
"Ao’Er, tell your master about that day’s events again, I want to hear it..."
In these days, You Wanying’s face seems to have lost expression.
No matter what she says or does, her face remains cold and indifferent.
Shen Ao paused, hesitated, and recounted the scenes of that day bit by bit.
There was no intention to conceal anything, even Shen Han’s clothing, the words of those around...
Everything Shen Ao remembers, he shared with his master.
You Wanying listened without interrupting or asking questions midway.
She just listened on the side.
When she heard that Yu Yan’s body was pierced by Shen Han’s sword, You Wanying’s expression finally changed.
Moreover, after Shen Han struck once, he followed up with another stab at Yu Yan...
Two consecutive strikes, meaning Shen Han had no intention of sparing Yu Yan.
To ensure she could not survive.
After describing the events of that day, the marching procession was left in silence.
You Wanying’s breathing was heavy, so heavy that everyone around could hear it clearly.
Fifteen miles is nothing for practitioners.
Before long, they arrived at the cemetery.
The coffin is placed in the grave.
For those who died tragically, before the grievances are resolved, the earth does not cover, the coffin lid does not close.
You Wanying cut down several trees nearby.
She dragged them to the grave and shaped them by hand.
It seemed she was crafting something.
Behind her, her senior disciple Ban Wu couldn’t help but step forward, gently pulling her.
"Master, you should go back and rest; we can handle it here."
You Wanying, hearing this, did not directly respond but simply explained.
"I want to make a penitential tool to place in front of Yu Yan’s grave.
Ban Wu, the task of avenging Yu Yan is entrusted to you.
You are the senior brother of our lineage.
People say that an elder brother is like a father; you should protect Yu Yan as a father would."
Hearing this, Ban Wu lowered his head: "I understand my mistake, it was my failure to fulfill my duty."
"The task of revenge is entirely in your hands.
Don’t let anyone from Tiger Peak Manor die again, understand?"
"Disciple will diligently follow the master’s command."
After saying this, You Wanying continued to carve the wood, the formerly thick trees being whittled into round logs piece by piece.
"When you capture Shen Han, do not kill him, but leave his life.
I’ve thought it over; once he’s captured, make him kneel at Yu Yan’s grave every day.
Let him guard her spirit here for the rest of his life.
Kneel on the penitential tool I made.
Hopefully, this can comfort Yu Yan’s spirit."
Hearing this, senior brother Ban Wu also nodded.
"Moreover, I’ve heard that Shen Han still has some living close ones.
Capture them all as well.
Then every ten days or so, kill one in front of Shen Han.
To ensure he knows to cry while guarding Yu Yan’s spirit."
After saying this, You Wanying said no more.
She waved her hand, signaling her disciples to leave.
She sat in front of the grave.
Continuing to craft her so-called penitential tool.
The other disciples, urged by her, could only choose to leave.
The occurrence of such an event at Tiger Peak Manor indeed shocked the entire sect.
Under You Wanying’s command, along with Shen Ao, there were only four.
Ban Wu is the senior brother, now with the strength of the 7th Layer of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.
Roughly comparable to the Peak of Second Grade in the Immortal Realm.
After him is the second senior brother Wu Ke, newly entered into the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.
Beneath Wu Ke was the now deceased Yu Yan.
Tiger Peak Manor, even if all the disciples are gathered, there are only a little over twenty people.
Now, with one person dead, the impact is indeed significant.
The key is, there is also an implicit impact.
The world says that Tiger Peak Manor is a sect that fiercely protects its own, and moreover, it is a sect that uses sinister poison.
Previously, the Southern Heaven Continent was all afraid of Tiger Peak Manor.
They feared provoking the madman that is Tiger Peak Manor.
But if Shen Han killed Yu Yan and they couldn’t take revenge,
Then the oppressive power of the name Tiger Peak Manor might very well vanish.
Forces with grievances against Tiger Peak Manor would likely begin plotting revenge.
Therefore, this revenge is absolutely impossible to dismiss.
Yu Yan is dead, and You Wanying’s line of disciples has only three left.
On the way back, Ban Wu patted Shen Ao on the shoulder.
"Don’t worry too much, with senior brother here, this matter will be resolved."
Hearing this consolation, Shen Ao’s face still showed considerable anxiety.
"If senior sister hadn’t come that day, this wouldn’t have happened.
Or, if I hadn’t let senior sister get involved, it wouldn’t be like this..."
Shen Ao was good at speaking, taking the blame upon himself, pretending to be regretful.
"If your senior sister hadn’t come, then the person who died would have been you.
As your senior brother, it is my duty to protect her.
As a senior sister, she should also protect you.
Even so, I believe if it happened again, Yu Yan would still protect you."
Senior brother Ban Wu spoke gently, comforting Shen Ao.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ao nodded.
It seemed that he was persuaded and pacified by Ban Wu.
"The ultimate fault of this matter does not lie with us, the brothers.
The one who should repent, the one who should be punished severely, is that Shen Han.
From today on, don’t burden yourself with unnecessary worries.
Focus all your thoughts on capturing Shen Han, that’s the right path."
After the words fell, both Wu Ke and Shen Ao nodded.
After returning to the manor, senior brother Ban Wu had already started making arrangements.
First, the passage, the passage between the Southern Heaven Continent and Great Wei, was directly guarded.
Without the permission of Tiger Peak Manor, no one is allowed to go to the Southern Heaven Continent.
Shen Han wants to return, wants to go find Five Immortals City, he cannot.
This action can also completely cut off the people of Great Wei from going to the Southern Heaven Continent to cultivate and improve.
Because of Shen Han, Tiger Peak Manor should have grudge against the entire world.
The plans of Tiger Peak Manor have begun.
The old methods they looked down upon, now pose some trouble for them.
People cultivating old methods can easily hide themselves.
Concealed in deep mountains and forests, hiding in bustling cities.
As long as they don’t act, they are really hard to be found out.
This is far superior to those practicing the new system of cultivation.
After Ban Wu gave the instructions, the Manor Master of Tiger Peak Manor was also taking action.
In the backyard of the manor.
The Manor Master of Tiger Peak Manor called Shen Ao and his two brothers together.
"Ban Wu, I’ve heard that You Wanying entrusted you, the senior brother, to make decisions on the subsequent plans?"
"Reporting to the Manor Master, Master has recently been low in spirits.
Still in the sadness of Yu Yan’s departure.
The three of us brothers naturally will take over these matters and handle them properly."
Hearing Ban Wu’s words, the Manor Master of Tiger Peak Manor nodded with some relief.
"Seeing your growth today, your Master would be quite gratified as well.
Then plan well, decide for yourselves what measures to take.
If you encounter any obstacles that are hard to overcome, talk to this Manor Master, I will fully support you.
Furthermore, I’ve heard that this Shen Han has some connection with Five Immortals City.
He is some kind of direct disciple of Five Immortals City.
But don’t worry, I have personally written a letter and sent it there.
No matter what kind of disciple he is, this time, he won’t survive.
Feel free to act, make him suffer a fate worse than death to restore the prestige of our Tiger Peak Manor."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ao and his brothers seemed to gain more courage and confidence.
...
Over in Five Immortals City, they have already received the letter from the Manor Master of Tiger Peak Manor.
In fact, aside from the letter, they also sent some gifts.
For Tiger Peak Manor, this is called "preceding war with gifts".
A warning to Five Immortals City not to intervene or shelter Shen Han.
But also sending a gift to express their sincerity, to show they are targeting Shen Han,
And not Five Immortals City.
Tiger Peak Manor is sinister and domineering, but not foolish.
Five Immortals City doesn’t want to provoke them, but it’s not that they can’t.
This way, it’s directly giving Five Immortals City a way out.
And this news quickly spread in Five Immortals City.
The Vice Sect Leader, after receiving the gift, immediately presented it.
Brought this gift to Song Xiaodie and Song Xiaobing.
"Xiaobing, Xiaodie..."
Elder Sizhi walked into the courtyard, calling the sisters’ names.
But the sisters’ expressions were indifferent, as if they didn’t see anyone else.
They continued cultivating by themselves.
Ever since Five Immortals City decided to abandon Shen Han, the sisters haven’t spoken to Elder Sizhi.
Not only Elder Sizhi,
Even Dean Sixin, the Vice Sect Leader, they didn’t show any kindness.
"These are gifts sent by Tiger Peak Manor, the Vice Sect Leader passed them to me..."
Upon hearing it’s a gift from Tiger Peak Manor, the sisters’ faces showed even more anger.
