Chapter 784: Chapter 727: The Tiger Peak Manor Master’s Guidance (Part 2)
After all, he hasn’t yet stepped into the Illusion Realm, he can escape from under Elder Wanying’s hands, but he doesn’t have the capability to harm you.
You might miss many opportunities to eliminate him, but as long as that villain Shen Han makes one mistake in front of you, he will meet his demise.
There is still a long time ahead, every time he encounters you, he will face a life and death crisis."
The words of the Tiger Peak Manor Master indeed had a comforting effect.
You Wanying thought about it and realized it was true.
The Southern Heaven Continent is vast, but there is still plenty of time.
As long as Shen Han encounters her once, he will have one more worry for his life.
"During this time, Shen Han should stay completely hidden, impossible to show a trace.
Elder Wanying, don’t waste your time searching out of spite.
Wait a little, after three years, he might think that the danger has passed.
Then strike to take his life, everything would be assured."
This speech made You Wanying’s face look much better.
"In these years, just focus on cultivating and improving steadily.
Most likely you won’t see him, for now, resuming the peaceful life of the past is paramount."
You Wanying did not reply, but judging from her face, she seemed persuaded by the Tiger Peak Manor Master.
At present, there doesn’t appear to be a more certain response.
The Southern Heaven Continent is vast, but finding everyone in the Great Wei still held a glimmer of hope.
After all, the world of Great Wei isn’t too large, and with some incentives, many people can be mobilized to help gather information.
But it’s different in the Southern Heaven Continent.
Here, numerous sects prohibit outsiders from probing into certain areas.
Seeking help from cultivators in the Southern Heaven Continent would require resources that are hard to bear.
Unlike in the Great Wei, where offering the opportunity to cultivate in Tiger Peak Manor would have many clamoring for it.
But in the Southern Heaven Continent, not many would care much for such an offer.
No matter how angry or resentful, You Wanying knew she had completely lost the initiative.
In this period, everyone from the Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak was setting up their residence.
And began gathering information about the surrounding regions.
To see if there were any towns nearby.
On everyone’s faces, the previous worry had dissipated.
In Great Wei, it seemed safe on the surface.
But danger could arrive unexpectedly.
In the Southern Heaven Continent, it’s different, there are more restrictions for Illusion Realm experts.
Some areas don’t allow others to pass through.
Everyone acted more freely and relaxed, began attending to their own matters, no longer hindered by caution.
Shen Han also rested for a few days, not concerning himself with other matters, just sitting and enjoying the mountain scenery with Shi Yuezhu.
In his mind, he recalled what Prince Qingyuan had said to him before.
Living in comfort and ease sounds easy to say, but how many can truly attain it?
After resting adequately, Shen Han began addressing the serious matters.
Previously, when Elder Sizhi sent messages for him, he declined, asking Elder Sizhi to wait a while longer.
Elder Sizhi understood, given that he had just escaped from a dangerous situation and needed some time for a smooth transition.
Now that he was free, Shen Han voluntarily invited Elder Sizhi for a meeting.
Truth be told, he was quite grateful to Elder Sizhi.
It was he who provided the information, which allowed Shen Han to become aware of everything.
The meeting place was set in the nearby Snowfield City.
It was about half a day’s journey from everyone’s residence, being the closest town.
Having agreed on the date, Shen Han once again met Elder Sizhi in a restaurant in Snowfield City.
"Are you injured?"
Upon seeing Shen Han, a smile appeared on Elder Sizhi’s face as he gently inquired.
Shen Han also smiled and shook his head.
"I wasn’t hurt by her, I escaped safely."
As they conversed, both gave a relieved smile.
In the restaurant, the young servant was quite perceptive.
Seeing that Shen Han’s guest had arrived, he immediately started serving the dishes.
"In your heart, you might hold some resentment towards Five Immortals City.
Although you are a sect disciple, when it came to you and You Wanying, Five Immortals City stood by and did nothing."
A hint of apology appeared on Elder Sizhi’s face.
The apology was mixed with regret.
Elder Sizhi regretted that the sect hadn’t heeded his advice.
If they had followed his suggestion and fully protected Shen Han.
Then by now, Shen Han would likely have closer ties with Five Immortals City.
"Elder Sizhi, please don’t say that, the sect as a whole has to consider the bigger picture.
You mentioned before that Tiger Peak Manor is extremely protective.
Protecting me might mean completely offending You Wanying, offending Tiger Peak Manor.
Under such considerations, the sect’s decision wasn’t wrong."
Shen Han spoke without a trace of complaint.
Yet, the lack of complaints made Elder Sizhi feel uneasy.
This revealed that Shen Han didn’t regard himself as a disciple of Five Immortals City.
Therefore, he was indifferent to their lack of protection for him.
It could be said that from the start, Shen Han likely had no expectations from Five Immortals City...
Realizing this, a hint of sadness inexplicably appeared on Elder Sizhi’s face.
Perhaps it was because of this that Shen Han had fewer grievances against them.
There was no need to comfort Shen Han needlessly.
Yet for some reason, Elder Sizhi only felt more dejected.
"This time, firstly, I came to see you, and secondly, to bring you some things.
I heard from Song Xiaobing and her sister that you’ve brought everyone around you to the Southern Heaven Continent.
Indeed, this is correct, in the Southern Heaven Continent, You Wanying encounters more restrictions.
In your world, Tiger Peak Manor seems to be unrestrained.
So many people here, the consumption will surely increase.
Take these resources, they should at least help you through the current challenges."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han, without hesitation, accepted the resources directly.
"Additionally, the Sect Leader mentioned, if you are willing, you can return to Five Immortals City..."
This time, before Elder Sizhi could finish his words, Shen Han smiled and shook his head.
"Thank you for the Sect Leader’s kindness, but given the current situation, I’m not in a position to leave.
Moreover, as of now, I can handle things myself."
With these words, Shen Han directly declined Elder Sizhi’s offer.
Before coming, Elder Sizhi had already anticipated this.
For Shen Han, he had clearly needed the sect’s protection earlier, but Five Immortals City showed no intent to assist.
Now, Shen Han had demonstrated his strength.
With his abilities, he managed to escape from You Wanying.
The so-called protection lost its intended significance.
Much like banks being cautious about unpaid debts, lending money only to those who don’t need it, for why would someone who doesn’t need money borrow it?
Shen Han was already self-sufficient, requiring no protection.
Providing protection now serves little purpose.
"Alright then, if you need anything, feel free to let me know at any time.
Also, should I receive any news about You Wanying, I’ll inform you right away.
While you can escape her safely, such risks should be avoided in the future.
After all, You Wanying is an Illusion Realm expert, so carelessness isn’t an option.
Currently, without a means to obtain information, should you wish to know anything, you can always ask me."
Shen Han nodded and thanked Elder Sizhi for his assistance.
They both tried the dishes in the restaurant, which, while not particularly excellent, were acceptable.
Upon parting, it was evident that Elder Sizhi had much more to say.
However, observing Shen Han’s demeanor, he held back.
What Five Immortals City could offer Shen Han, he couldn’t think of anything further.
It’s no longer possible to draw Shen Han closer to Five Immortals City.
After parting, Elder Sizhi returned with some regret.
Before coming, he had already anticipated such an outcome.
Yet, actually facing it left him somewhat disheartened.
The ten-day journey brought Elder Sizhi back to Five Immortals City.
Without lingering, he immediately sought Sect Leader Nalan Xing to report these matters.
Before returning, Elder Sizhi had roughly informed the Sect Leader of the result.
Today, he planned to present the details.
In the courtyard were not only Nalan Xing but also Shen Xiang and several Elders.
There were no reservations; he openly shared everything with everyone present.
