Chapter 782 - 726: He Escaped (Part 2)
Chapter 782: Chapter 726: He Escaped (Part 2)
Previously, when Yu Yan and Ban Wu faced Shen Han, they were all confident.
However, the results were quite terrible.
If he hadn’t escaped quickly, Shen Ao might have already met his demise.
"Mother, do you think anything might go wrong..."
Shen Ao swallowed a mouthful of food, chewed it, and couldn’t help but speak up.
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen, who was beside him, proactively walked over.
"Previously, this old woman was a bit anxious and worried, but now, I’m not that concerned.
We all know Venerable Wan Wanying’s strength.
Even Xiaoyao Peak was forced to leave the sect territory, let alone dealing with a troublesome rebellious child."
Shen Ao, who was hearing these words, only felt irritated.
He now increasingly dislikes Madam Shen.
Always talking about useless nonsense.
He casually ate a few more bites of food, trying to put his mind at ease.
Shen Ao was somewhat aware of his master’s strength.
If You Wanying were serious, no one in Great Wei should be able to escape from his master’s hands.
This thought indeed brought him much peace of mind.
The sky was growing darker, torches were lit, crackling noisily beside them.
The news had spread all over, yet the Shen Family knew nothing, still immersed in their fantasies.
At 3:00 AM.
You Wanying returned.
When people saw her, everyone stood up to greet her.
You Wanying returned alone, without Shen Han captured.
It was unlike what they expected, but not much of an issue.
Shen Han should be dead.
People thought You Wanying would bring Shen Han back and torture him, not letting him die easily.
But You Wanying returned so late, meaning Shen Han resisted and had already been killed.
The surrounding Shen Family members thought this but noticed something unusual about You Wanying’s expression when they looked at her.
Although the torchlight didn’t show it clearly, her face was visibly cold.
The Shen Family people exchanged glances but dared not ask.
"Ao’Er, come with me, back to the villa."
You Wanying spoke coldly, her tone like the chill of winter.
This tone seemed extremely angered.
The Shen Family people looked at each other, afraid to say a word.
Feeling that speaking one more word would bring them bad luck.
Shen Ao didn’t speak either.
You Wanying had shown this side before.
It showed only when she heard the news of his three senior brothers and sisters’ death.
Shen Ao had already guessed something.
Very likely, his master’s actions had failed this time...
When this thought emerged, Shen Ao was somewhat unwilling to believe it.
But You Wanying’s expression seemed to tell him the result was indeed as he thought.
Watching the two prepare to leave, the surroundings were silent.
They hadn’t walked far when You Wanying turned back and glanced at everyone.
"I know what you want to ask."
After a pause, You Wanying spat out three words: "He escaped."
He escaped.
These three words were like sharp spikes instantly piercing everyone’s heart.
Leaving these words behind, You Wanying lost interest in dealing with these Shen Family folks and left with Shen Ao.
At that moment, the Shen Family members were still in a daze.
"Even Elder Wanying couldn’t capture him..."
Madam Shen’s lips trembled slightly as she spoke hesitantly.
Even after arriving at the Southern Heaven Continent, she hadn’t expected that the descendant she disliked most would still be so outstanding.
The emergence of the Southern Heaven Continent had actually reshuffled the order of Great Wei.
But now, Madam Shen realized that even in this new world, Shen Han remained exceptional...
You Wanying had already left with Shen Ao.
At the passage entrance, only endless silence remained, with no one speaking.
Madam Shen, previously vigorous, suddenly seemed to grow much older.
Madam Shen had always been in denial, refusing to acknowledge Shen Han’s excellence and extraordinary talent.
But through her denials, she eventually convinced even herself.
Covering her eyes and blocking her ears, just trying to deceive herself.
At this moment, Madam Shen completely gave up.
The child she looked down upon, whom she never valued, had already reached heights she could only look up to.
Whether she admits it or not, the facts were laid out before everyone.
Shen Han likely no longer cared about her opinion.
Heading east, they didn’t seek lodgings in any city.
Although Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak didn’t have many people, they still numbered nearly forty.
Suddenly appearing in a city would attract attention.
According to the prepared plan, they were now seeking a refuge in the mountains.
Then, scattering individually, they began to settle in the cities.
After a night of searching, they found several broken houses at the foot of a mountain.
This must have been a village before but had since moved away, leaving only a few dilapidated houses.
The mountains were intricate, making this spot hard to detect from In the Void.
Together, they started to organize and clean up, first creating a livable space.
With their experience of moving multiple times, everyone worked efficiently, each doing their job.
After a few two-hours, Shi Yuezhu received the message and went to fetch Shen Han.
Everyone’s face was filled with smiles.
Sweetness follows hardship; the Southern Heaven Continent’s terrain is complex, with many forces.
You Wanying wouldn’t dare to act recklessly here.
Even entering big cities would be difficult for her.
Others rejected cultivators of the Poison Skill like them.
Those big sects didn’t want to provoke You Wanying, rather than not daring to provoke her.
If she dared to touch the core interests of these big sects, they would take action against her.
Though they still needed to be low-key, at least they could live somewhat normal lives.
Few knew them here, and even if they showed their faces, no one knew who was who.
Following Shi Yuezhu, they headed back to the camp.
When people saw Shen Han, they were excited but didn’t know what to say.
After a day of work, the dilapidated houses had been restored.
Shen Han also helped with his ability to extract items.
The previously shabby place now seemed somewhat renewed.
After placing the brought food, people wished to drink and celebrate the day.
Unfortunately, they didn’t bring wine.
Shi Yuezhu and Shen Han sat together, neither avoiding the others anymore.
They were candid in front of people.
Having gone through so many difficulties together, they fully acknowledged each other.
After some celebrations, they started discussing future plans.
Yun Mansion should be open for business now, selling Pills in the Southern Heaven Continent, leaving almost no trace.
Previous Pill vendors could also continue doing business with them.
They just needed to spend more time traveling farther.
Overall, Yun Mansion would have a new development after arriving in the Southern Heaven Continent.
As for Xiaoyao Peak, wanting to re-establish their sect might still be a long journey.
For Xiaoyao Peak, they now needed to choose between the Old Method and the new cultivation system.
The Old System had slow progress; many spent a lifetime to reach the Immortal Realm.
At best, many couldn’t even reach the Third Grade.
The new system, however, made Realm advancements much easier, but Xiaoyao Peak had little understanding of this new cultivation system.
To establish a sect in the Southern Heaven Continent may take years of study.
Xiaoyao Peak’s Sword Technique was mysterious, but lacked compatibility with the new system.
After dinner, Shen Han conversed with everyone at Xiaoyao Peak.
The path for Xiaoyao Peak ahead was for them to decide.
During discussions, Shen Han found the elders more open-minded than himself.
Xiaoyao Peak was dedicated to the Sword Dao, gathering for the art, not for personal gain.
Now with no more insights into the Sword Dao, and no swordsman needing Xiaoyao Peak’s protection.
Unexpectedly, Shen Han found the elders had no strong attachments.
For them, their hope was for their disciples to have good futures.
Rather than rebuilding Xiaoyao Peak, enduring a lifetime of toil.
