Chapter 781 - 726: He Escaped
Chapter 781: Chapter 726: He Escaped
After Elder Sizhi’s remarks, his gaze shifted to Nalan Xing, who wasn’t far away.
"Sect Leader, today’s outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations.
But it further proves Shen Han’s talent and potential.
We all thought Shen Han would not escape this disaster, yet he still did.
Such a young individual, even practicing the Old Cultivation Method, is still extraordinarily talented.
To push him outside the sect would be an immense loss for us."
At this moment, Elder Sizhi no longer seemed the same as he was moments ago.
He had gained confidence.
Shen Han’s exceptional performance had provided Elder Sizhi with ample reason to protect him within the sect.
Even Shen Xiang did not speak out against it at this moment.
"Shen Han’s performance this time was indeed unexpected; none of us saw through his potential...
Perhaps by following the Old Method, he too could step into the realm of the Illusion."
The surrounding elders also began to change their tone.
Previously, they echoed Shen Xiang’s words; now, they turned to support Elder Sizhi.
Nalan Xing, upon hearing this, had a helpless and guilty expression.
"When others faced crises, we in the Five Immortals City hid, trying to sever any association with them as much as possible.
Now, when they showcase their strength and amaze everyone, we shamelessly try to attach ourselves to them.
Honestly, in my opinion, this behavior is somewhat disgusting."
Nalan Xing was genuinely dissatisfied with the reaction of the elders.
Last time, in front of everyone, he had already severely criticized this situation.
But unexpectedly, the Five Immortals City remained unchanged, lacking in loyalty.
It takes longer than a day to freeze three feet deep; Nalan Xing desired to change this situation, but he also understood it wasn’t something that could be resolved in one or two days.
Hesitating, Nalan Xing turned back to look at Elder Sizhi.
"Now, that child already has the ability to escape from You Wanying.
In the future, You Wanying’s threat to him will be much smaller, and he no longer needs our protection like before.
Our current overture is like giving cotton clothes and steamed buns to someone who wants for nothing.
For Shen Han, it doesn’t matter if he has it or not.
Perhaps, that child doesn’t even bother to pay us any attention."
Nalan Xing wore a look of regret.
The world isn’t full of such good things; trying to take all the advantages isn’t that easy.
All the elders involuntarily turned their faces away, fully aware that Nalan Xing was hinting at them.
"Sect Leader, I still have some friendship with that child Shen Han; maybe I can go talk to him.
Indeed, Five Immortals City hasn’t provided Shen Han with much assistance or protection.
Fortunately, we haven’t harmed him either.
Let me go and ask him, and see what Shen Han says.
If he is willing to return to Five Immortals City, we will gain an extremely potential disciple."
After Elder Sizhi finished speaking, Nalan Xing glanced at the people around him, letting his gaze rest on Shen Xiang.
Pausing for a moment, Nalan Xing nodded.
"Go, go and talk to the child.
Even if he’s unwilling to come back, send some things to him.
Consider it an apology from our Five Immortals City."
Sizhi nodded, then quickly turned around and left.
Today’s performance by Shen Han, even though Elder Sizhi had always been optimistic about him, was unexpected.
To put it simply, it’s just that Shen Han himself impressed everyone.
In these two-hour periods, the news spread wildly across the Southern Heaven Continent.
It was initially thought to be the conclusion to You Wanying and Shen Han’s conflict; unexpectedly, it was a new beginning.
On the side of Qianjin Hall, Elder Ding had already sent a message to Qianmu Fan.
Instructing him to immediately return to the sect and stop assisting You Wanying in searching for Shen Han!
Today’s events spread, Tiger Peak Manor and You Wanying’s reputation will take a significant hit.
Tiger Peak Manor, known for protecting their own, combined with their poison skills, most sect forces on the Southern Heaven Continent prefer to avoid them.
You Wanying’s ferocity further amplified her reputation.
However, after this incident, sects in the Southern Heaven Continent will completely change their perception of her.
Unable to capture even a young person, her strength is perceived by others as inflated.
In contrast, Shen Han is continually boosting his reputation.
Among young people, most cannot withstand even a move from You Wanying.
But Shen Han managed to escape from her grasp.
Qianjin Hall understands well that no longer is it simply a matter of not provoking Shen Han.
Certainly, many forces will seek to make friends with and recruit Shen Han.
Opposing Shen Han from now on will mean facing more than just an isolated individual.
Behind Shen Han, there might be a major sect providing protection.
Song Xiaodie and her sister also heard the latest news, leaving with a bit of joy.
Still waiting at the passage exit for the Shen Family, they remained unaware of the news.
Even Shen Ao seemed somewhat impatient.
"It’s been nearly seven two-hour periods, and the sky is completely dark..."
The speaker was Shen Ao’s cousin, Shen Fu.
Feeling a bit impatient, she wanted to voice some complaints.
However, Shen Fu was also aware of her own status and position, only daring to complain about the late hour.
Everyone felt something was amiss.
You Wanying should not take this long to deal with a single Shen Han.
Madam He handed some food to Shen Ao.
"Have something to eat, Ao’er.
Take it easy, Venerable Wan Wanying is as powerful as an Immortal God; that menace surely won’t escape.
Perhaps by now, he is already in a miserable state, begging for mercy."
Madam He’s words indeed comforted Shen Ao a bit.
To be honest, Shen Ao was truly a bit uneasy.
