Chapter 762 - 716: Claiming Lu Yao’s Life (Part 2)
Chapter 762: Chapter 716: Claiming Lu Yao’s Life (Part 2)
Shen Han commanded the maid named Ping’Er.
Yet, upon hearing the words, she remained immobile.
In an instant, Ping’Er’s gaze froze, and she collapsed straight to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, her breath was gone, her life already forfeited.
"If she won’t fetch it, then you go fetch it."
Shen Han’s gaze fell on the Tributor.
With a soft command, the Tributor wasted no time.
Turning his head, he immediately searched Qianye Shun for the Heart-piercing Pill.
Qianye Shun, who was previously clawing at his own body, suddenly froze, allowing the Cangye Tributor to search.
This land is scarce in resources, and craftsmanship is rudimentary.
Just as Shen Han thought, there wasn’t even a single Storage Ring.
From a medicine pouch, the Heart-piercing Pill was extracted.
Seeing the Tributor holding the Pill before him, Shen Han pointed towards Lu Yao.
"Feed it to her."
Upon hearing this, the Tributor visibly hesitated.
After all, feeding this Pill meant making an enemy of the Qianye Sect.
This thought was quickly dismissed.
If Lu Yao wasn’t fed the Pill, a life might soon be lost.
The Qianye Sect hadn’t been offended, as the life had already been taken.
With the Heart-piercing Pill clutched in hand, he indeed forced it into Lu Yao’s mouth.
Lu Yao realized, with just a wisp of pressure from Shen Han, she couldn’t even move.
The title of Immortal, given for transcending power, is why the Immortal Realm is so named.
Being merely at the Fifth Grade, First Snow Realm strength, she couldn’t withstand the pressure of an Immortal Realm.
Once the Heart-piercing Pill was swallowed, the stabbing pain surged up in just a moment.
The effect of the Pill she ingested wasn’t as potent as Qianye Shun’s.
Seemingly, her reaction wasn’t as intense as Qianye Shun’s.
Witnessing their miserable states, the Cangye Country people were greatly frightened.
Each buried their heads, not daring to glance at Shen Han.
Fearing his resentment would fall upon them.
Their previous arrogance had completely faded away.
Within a quarter of an hour, Lu Yao had fainted from the pain.
Qianye Shun, on the other hand, seemed more resilient to the pain, yet still not fainting.
After a moment of hesitation, Shen Han thrust his long sword forward, a fierce Sword Qi pierced through Lu Yao’s chest.
This beautiful woman met her end at that moment.
The intense pain roused her, and as her life force diminished, she lost the ability to feel pain.
Even in her final moments, Lu Yao couldn’t quite believe it.
Killing her meant making a complete enemy of the Lu Family Courtyard and Qianye Sect.
There was no room left for conciliation.
Yet, Shen Han still ended her life, not bothering to ponder further.
Pain-ridden, Qianye Shun also noticed.
Daring to kill the Lady of the Qianye Sect, could he still survive?
The next moment, a burst of energy struck his abdomen.
Severe pain assaulted him as his internal organs were all damaged.
The strength he painstakingly cultivated over the years dissipated in an instant.
With this strike, his very foundation was almost destroyed.
Qianye Shun of the Melting Furnace Realm lost all his strength.
Shen Han didn’t kill him, merely destroyed him.
"Once you come to, quickly report to your sect.
Bring along your Qianye Sect’s Cultivation Technique Manuals, I’d like to give them a look.
If you wish for revenge, remember to bring those Cultivation Technique Manuals.
I’ll be waiting for you at Prince Cheng’s Mansion, if I don’t see the Cultivation Technique Manuals in five days.
Then I’ll have no choice but to fetch them myself."
After leaving these words, Shen Han turned to head back inside.
Just before entering, he glanced again at Prince Cheng.
"Please tidy up the courtyard, it’s a mess."
With that, Shen Han lightly waved his hand, also destroying the mystery Tributor’s strength.
After finishing everything, he closed the door.
As the door shut, everyone felt as if shackles on their bodies were lifted.
Their stiff, immobile bodies seemed to relax at that moment.
The tension in their hearts seemed to finally ease.
In the courtyard, Qianye Shun and the Tributor were still howling in pain.
Meanwhile, Cangye Country people looked at each other in dismay.
The Sovereign of Cangye and the National Preceptor exchanged glances.
Their backs were drenched in sweat.
Recalling their earlier words, they couldn’t help but slap themselves.
Luckily, they had kept some restraint, otherwise their ends might not have been better than the Tributor’s.
Prince Cheng, watching the door tightly shut by Shen Han, had different thoughts.
He felt deep regret, immense regret.
If only he had firmly stood by Shen Han this time, upon realizing the Qianye Sect’s brewing trouble, he immediately informed Shen Han.
Persuading Shen Han to flee, helping him to hide.
Although Shen Han didn’t need this favor, he surely would have remembered his goodwill.
He surely would have gained Shen Han’s support.
With such a powerful backer capable of effortlessly handling Qianye Sect’s people.
As long as he didn’t cause any great disaster, he shouldn’t face any more trouble.
Such a tremendous opportunity, he failed to grasp.
Heart filled with regret, yet it was meaningless, things had already come this far.
Shen Han hadn’t blamed him, which was already a blessing for Prince Cheng.
After Shen Han returned to his room, the surviving Sovereign of Cangye and the Cangye National Preceptor left Prince Cheng’s Mansion without delay.
Their accompanying Tributor now had a crippled foundation.
The Sovereign of Cangye was already displeased with the Tributor’s behavior today.
This Tributor, wanting to outshine the host, tried taking the spotlight right before him.
Anyway, he was crippled, so the Sovereign of Cangye had no reason to care for him further.
Watching the chaotic courtyard, Prince Cheng felt a headache.
The Lady of the Qianye Sect’s body lay on the ground, breathless.
A Tributor lay like a dead dog, sprawled on the ground.
His strength completely destroyed, though alive, the rest of his days would be miserable.
Another Qianye Sect’s Law Enforcement Envoy was also left powerless, now unconscious.
Under Prince Cheng’s insistence, a group of guards from the Prince Mansion acted together.
They carried the three out of the courtyard, finding a desolate place, and dumped them there.
Today’s events were witnessed by many.
Hiding the news would be almost impossible.
It might have even spread the moment things happened.
Prince Cheng’s Mansion was now at the center of the storm.
With anxiety and fear in his heart, Prince Cheng felt powerless, left to endure and await the unfolding events.
Inside his room, Shen Han finished reading all the manuals from Prince Cheng’s Mansion.
For him, it certainly provided some insight, bringing many benefits.
But that’s where it ends, taking even a step further seemed challenging.
Truthfully, Shen Han didn’t hold much hope for the Qianye Sect’s techniques.
From his encounter with Qianye Shun, he already sensed.
Their understanding of the Laws wasn’t any more advanced than others.
Only in terms of cultivation strength improvement and technique complexity were they superior.
It was about time he returned.
Shen Han communicated with Master Xingchuan, but there had been no updates on what was previously instructed.
If asked to find someone, at least some conditions should be provided.
Yet, Master Xingchuan gave up in his response.
No longer asking Shen Han to seek.
After so many years, past loves have turned to dust.
There was no point in searching further.
Hearing Master Xingchuan’s words, Shen Han remained silent.
Some things remain beautiful when kept in the heart.
Instead, delving further may lead to disappointment.
Since Master Xingchuan no longer wished for further pursuit, Shen Han knew it was time to return.
Having gained from this, after being out for so long, he should return.
Regarding those from Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak, Shen Han had arrangements in mind.
Hiding in Great Wei, was even more dangerous.
After all, Great Wei wasn’t vast, making acquaintances more likely.
Better to move to the Southern Heaven Continent, where the vast world would make them harder to find.
