Chapter 773: Chapter 722: Moving to the Southern Heaven Continent
In the courtyard, although Shen Xiang was no longer the Vice Sect Leader, he seemed to get more enthusiastic as he talked.
He looked towards Elder Si Zhi, waiting for Elder Si Zhi to argue with him.
"You Wanying has already lost three direct disciples, and now she’s like a madwoman.
People who go mad don’t reason.
If you provoke her and she causes trouble in the Five Immortals City, releasing a cloud of poisonous mist, none of us will be able to bear it."
After a pause, Shen Xiang looked at the two and continued speaking.
"Who wouldn’t want to be someone righteous and emotional, able to protect that child, that would naturally be best.
But he provoked the Tiger Peak Manor, provoked You Wanying.
You Wanying has consecutively lost three disciples; this is a deep, irreconcilable hatred.
Even if we protect Shen Han, how long can we protect him?
Is it three years?
Or five years?
What kind of talent or potential does he have that makes our Five Immortals City help him like this?"
Hearing this, Elder Si Zhi’s face also turned somewhat grim.
"Shen Han is a direct disciple of our Five Immortals City, and protecting him and allowing him to grow is our responsibility.
Moreover, the potential he has shown right now is almost the most outstanding among young people.
Even the Poisonous Mist Incarnation of You Wanying has been defeated by Shen Han.
Isn’t such talent and potential enough for us to take him seriously?
In the end, you’re still speaking out of personal grudge."
Hearing this, Shen Xiang’s face turned serious.
"I don’t like him, but those words I just said did not come from any personal resentment.
Don’t forget, this young man Shen Han seems quite impressive, but he’s cultivating the Old Method; the Rainbow-Devouring Realm is his peak.
He simply cannot take another step forward.
He is a young man without hope, and in this life, he has no chance of reaching the Illusion Realm.
And against an enemy like You Wanying, all he can do his whole life is hide and run.
If you really want to protect him, then be prepared, because this protection, you may need to protect him for a lifetime.
Can we protect him for a lifetime?
And that’s not even considering how many resources we’ll use up."
Elder Si Zhi wanted to argue, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he didn’t know what to say.
The pinnacle of those who cultivate the Old Method is the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.
The texts clearly record that entering the Illusion Realm, also a First Grade Immortal Realm through the Old Cultivation Method, exists only in legends.
Shen Han now seems dazzling, but his limit is right there.
Elder Si Zhi didn’t know how to refute, as what Shen Xiang said was indeed a well-known fact.
"If we want what’s best for the Five Immortals City, we shouldn’t meddle in this matter at all.
The news we received today should be quietly buried, without even informing Shen Han.
This is his calamity; whether he overcomes it or not, it has nothing to do with us.
These are my views, Shen Xiang. If you’re not afraid of offending You Wanying, not afraid of the sect members all perishing, and insist on protecting a junior with no prospects, then fine.
After all, I am no longer the Vice Sect Leader; do as you wish."
Elder Si Zhi’s gaze turned to Nalan Xing, unwilling to continue the discussion with Shen Xiang.
No matter how he argued, in his view, Shen Han was not worthy of the protection of the Five Immortals City.
"Sect Leader, what do you think?
Could it be that you also believe that Shen Han should no longer be protected?"
Hearing Si Zhi’s question, Nalan Xing stood up slowly.
"Disciples of the Five Immortals City, unless they have committed heinous deeds, must naturally be protected by the sect.
Although what Junior Brother Shen said is reasonable, when it comes to protecting our disciples, we must do so.
Si Zhi, you first relay the news to Shen Han, let him be aware of the lurking danger.
If he’s willing, let him return to the Five Immortals City.
Even against You Wanying, what needs to be done must be done."
Hearing Nalan Xing’s words, the expression on Elder Si Zhi’s face finally relaxed: "Understood, I will handle it immediately."
On the side, Shen Xiang couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.
"When the time for regret comes, don’t say you didn’t hear my warning.
Causing trouble for the sect, yet not knowing how much benefit it actually brings to the sect.
In my view, we should now think about how to deal with Hui Taoist and You Wanying’s revenge."
With his sarcastic remarks, Shen Xiang was clearly dissatisfied with the decision.
In his mind, he was already thinking about how to blame the two later.
In Shen Xiang’s opinion, this so-called righteous act would only bring enormous trouble to the Five Immortals City, with only a slight improvement in reputation at the end.
Apart from that, there was only Shen Han’s gratitude.
But is that gratitude useful?
The higher-ranking elders of the Five Immortals City all have Illusion Realm strength; can Shen Han reach that level?
After leaving the sect leader’s courtyard, Elder Si Zhi immediately communicated with Shen Han through voice transmission.
First, he informed Shen Han of You Wanying’s plan.
He also explained the identity and strength of Hui Taoist to Shen Han.
You Wanying and Hui Taoist are both likely to search for Shen Han and those around him in the Great Wei once more.
Previously, the manpower from the Tiger Peak Manor was large, and the search seemed substantial with carpet-style hunting.
But in reality, many people were just fooling around, not really searching earnestly.
This time, You Wanying and Hui Taoist are doing it themselves.
It’s slower, more tiring, but as long as they catch even a small thread, the two of them can dig deeper.
In addition to conveying this, Elder Si Zhi also told Shen Han about the decision of the Five Immortals City.
The sect is willing to protect Shen Han, and if Shen Han is willing, he can come to the Five Immortals City.
Shen Han expressed his gratitude for this.
Whether sincere or not, being able to say such words is already quite good.
However, Shen Han did not intend to accept their kindness.
