Chapter 777: Chapter 724: You Wanying’s Astonishment
"Elder Si Zhi, we know you have some feelings for that kid Shen Han, but what do you want us to do today?
He’s already had a confrontation with You Wanying. Are you still thinking of protecting him?
Even if we take a step back and agree with you, even if the Sect Leader agrees to protect him,
is it still too late for us to go now?"
Shen Xiang looked at Elder Si Zhi; everything had already been decided. All they could do now was watch.
Beside them, Sect Leader Nalan Xing didn’t refute Shen Xiang’s words this time.
"Nearby, only a few Guardians are stationed.
Even if they all act together, it’s still unlikely they can protect Shen Han.
This You Wanying is practically insane right now. Without intervention from the Dean, it’s impossible to stop her."
Nalan Xing furrowed his brows, his heart also weighing the options.
"The Sect Leader is correct; traveling to Five Immortals City takes at least seven days.
Even with the intention to rescue, it’s fundamentally too late.
We can’t possibly fail to save him and offend You Wanying either.
Our intention to save him is already good enough."
Elder Si Zhi stood to the side, not knowing what to say.
As they said, even if there’s a will to rescue Shen Han, it’s too late.
If they insist on going, not only will they fail to save Shen Han, they’ll also offend You Wanying.
After some hesitation, Elder Si Zhi looked conflicted but finally spoke up with a tone of blame.
"To put it plainly, you all think Shen Han isn’t worth protecting.
Otherwise, you’d try even if there’s a sliver of hope."
The surrounding crowd remained silent, somewhat tacitly agreeing.
Even Nalan Xing didn’t think much of Shen Han in his heart.
He felt more that as a disciple of Five Immortals City, the sect was obliged to protect Shen Han.
But it wasn’t a matter of importance.
Given the current situation, they all believed Shen Han was as good as dead.
Even attempting a rescue seemed meaningless.
Elder Si Zhi could only sulk alone, as there was nothing else he could do.
Meanwhile, news of Shen Han’s confrontation with You Wanying continued to come in.
The messages conveyed that Shen Han was still running.
The news left not only the people of Five Immortals City surprised, but even You Wanying herself a bit unexpected.
The Poisonous Mist Clone and her actual strength are worlds apart.
The fact that Shen Han could obliterate her Poisonous Mist Clone was indeed impressive among young people.
But no matter how impressive, he couldn’t possibly be a match for her, a strong Illusion Realm practitioner.
However, You Wanying’s face was already solemn.
She had initially thought she could easily capture Shen Han.
At first, she hadn’t even exerted her full effort.
Only when Shen Han started widening the distance did she rush to increase her body technique, catching up.
Even though she was prepared for it, seeing Shen Han in person still shocked You Wanying.
Behind You Wanying were several pursuers, following closely.
Luckily, You Wanying’s powerful aura guided them; they tracked her aura.
Had they been tracking Shen Han, they might have already lost sight of their target.
At this moment, Shen Han continued his frantic escape with no pause.
Despite his full effort, shaking off You Wanying proved difficult.
But You Wanying was equally perplexed that a mysterious force seemed to hold her back each time she got close to Shen Han.
It slowed her down, making it hard to catch up with Shen Han.
After a round of pursuit, You Wanying tried attacking but was avoided by Shen Han.
Shen Han could sense that some of You Wanying’s techniques were within his ability to counter.
After comprehending the Power of Laws, Shen Han could discern the power in the attacks of Illusion Realm practitioners.
But at the moment, Shen Han’s goal was to distance himself as much as possible.
He needed at least a half-day’s journey to buy Shi Yuezhu and the others enough time.
As long as there were no disturbances from someone like You Wanying, Xiaoyao Peak still had Immortal Realm experts; even if there were minor issues, they could easily resolve them.
After a pursuit lasting over a two-hour period, You Wanying was growing anxious.
This was far from her expectation; she should have easily taken care of Shen Han with a mere wave of her hand, yet she was engaged in a chase.
Moreover, despite several attacks, Shen Han remained unharmed, deftly avoiding them all.
With a heavy heart, You Wanying no longer held back her strength.
With a deep breath, her physical speed accelerated further.
Seeing this, Shen Han didn’t hesitate either and immediately activated the Divine Abyss Formulas.
He used the Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step to its extreme.
Those who cultivated the Old Method have inherently stronger physiques than those practicing the New Method.
Though his Realm level fell short, Shen Han’s escape speed was still remarkable.
Near the entrance to the Great Wei passage,
The people of Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion wore expressions of grave seriousness.
More than a two-hour period had passed, each day feeling like a year.
If Shen Han died, You Wanying would likely seek revenge against everyone for her three lost Direct Disciples.
This was a gamble, and one that didn’t feel favorable.
In terms of cultivation, Shen Han’s performance was impressive.
He was the youngest Immortal Realm expert of Great Wei.
Upon entering the Immortal Realm, he reached Second Grade within five years.
But such impressiveness was still insufficient in the face of an Illusion Realm expert.
An Illusion Realm expert was close to the level of a First-Grade Immortal.
Faced with rumored power, how could one confront it...
Even with pessimism in their hearts, they didn’t voice it, still waiting, anticipating.
At the exit of the Southern Heaven Continent, the Shen Family members wore expressions of slight relief.
