Chapter 2064: Han Shouyi Protects His Own, the Holy Sect Rekindled!
Chapter 2064: Chapter 2064: Han Shouyi Protects His Own, the Holy Sect Rekindled!
The arrival of Han Shouyi revitalized everyone.
However, what caught their attention even more was.
The Holy Sect mentioned by that blood shadow just now... what kind of force is it?
Anyone bold enough to use the character "Holy" for their name must be something else if not the Holy Court.
Chu Ran looked at Yang Shao and Qin Zhao, snorting lightly, "Could it be related to your Supervisory Temple?"
Qin Zhao didn’t turn his head or look at Chu Ran, simply crossing his arms with a sword and saying, "Second Young Master of the Chu Family, think before you speak. Can you bear the consequence of slandering the Supervisory Temple?"
Chu Ran raised an eyebrow, stepping forward, "What, do you really think my Chu Family is afraid of you?"
Ye Qiubai questioned in confusion, "Is he just biting whoever he sees?"
Yang Shao was also puzzled, "That’s odd, ten years ago Chu Ran used to be very low-key and modest, but ever since being taught a lesson by Han Shouyi, he changed."
Hmm?
Could it be because of some psychological blow?
That doesn’t seem right either, does it?
Born into a top family, would his psychological endurance be so weak?
The gray-clothed elder didn’t stop them, but seeing this scene behind Chu Ran, he shook his head and sighed.
Seeming both helpless and disappointed.
At this moment, Han Shouyi turned in the sky, eyes cast down, overlooking Chu Ran.
His gaze was as calm as lake water, yet Chu Ran’s expression started to look unnatural, his cheeks twitching at times, while his hands switched between clenching and relaxing.
Han Shouyi grinned, "Kid, moments ago you had the nerve to speak rudely to my two treasured junior brothers. Why are you scared facing me now?"
Chu Ran stiffened his neck, "Scared?! How could I, the second young master of the Chu Family, be scared of you?"
Han Shouyi nodded, "You’d better not be scared."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shouyi’s figure disappeared from the spot, and in an instant, he was close to Chu Ran!
At that moment, no one present reacted.
Not even the gray-clothed elder behind Chu Ran!
The gray-clothed elder’s expression tightened, with a gray vortex appearing in his palm once more.
Han Shouyi was almost face to face with Chu Ran.
Han Shouyi slightly tilted his head, looking at Chu Ran’s side profile, a smile hanging on his face... but this smile made Chu Ran’s heart shiver continuously.
"If I see you troubling my junior brothers again... even if you hide in the Chu Family, I’ll personally take a trip to drag you out and give you another beating," Han Shouyi said, with a chuckle, patting Chu Ran on the shoulder.
Even Chu Ran himself hadn’t noticed that his face was already stiff; every time Han Shouyi patted his shoulder, his body flinched.
Yang Shao and the others were already accustomed to it.
Han Shouyi always had this protective nature... no, one could say the entire Qingcheng Mountain is protective of their own, but Han Shouyi is even more arrogant.
Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, and Xu Yeming all nodded.
The Qingcheng Mountain, which Junior Brother Ning joined, indeed seems good!
After finishing all this, Han Shouyi came before Ning Chenxin, laughing, "I’ve heard about your endeavors, I’ve been observing in the dark just now, as expected, the old man’s judgment remains as sharp as ever! Having you as the True Inheritor is more than suitable!"
Ning Chenxin smiled, cupping his hands, "Senior Brother Han, you overpraise."
"What overpraise!" Han Shouyi said, patting Ning Chenxin’s shoulder, "Speaking so formally, that’s a bad habit you need to change! Our Qingcheng Mountain sect always does what they want, where Dao techniques naturally follow one’s thoughts!"
Lu Mingyuan explained from the side, "As per Senior Brother Han’s interpretation, it means doing as one pleases."
Han Shouyi laughed heartily, "Alright, follow me, for soon the Banan Border might become turbulent."
Seeing Han Shouyi about to leave.
Ba Xiyue hurriedly said, "Senior Han, we may still need Qingcheng Mountain’s assistance for subsequent matters!"
Han Shouyi waved his hand, saying, "You all first figure out why the enemy set up an evil formation here, and why no one has discovered it for so long, then contact us once you understand what on earth the Holy Sect is!"
Saying this, not waiting for Ba Xiyue to speak again, he disappeared from the scene with Ning Chenxin and Lu Mingyuan.
Indeed.
Setting up an evil formation here to extract blood and seize souls... but then why bother to inject evil blood to self-destruct and cause them trouble?
The other side should also know that such attacks wouldn’t cause much casualty to them.
It would only infuriate them further, making Ba Xiyue and others more wary in the future.
Why engage in such a thankless act?
When trapped in the Blood Refining Soul Stealing Array earlier, Ba Xiyue didn’t think much.
Now that Han Shouyi mentioned it, it indeed seems strange.
Why, for over thirty days, such a massive evil formation within the border went unnoticed by anyone in the City Lord Manor?
Ba Xiyue glanced at Huo Xiedao in confusion, but did not question him at this moment.
As for the Holy Sect...
Ba Xiyue said, "Let’s return too, we need to report today’s events and inquire about what kind of force the Holy Sect is."
Saying this, Ba Xiyue looked towards the Mystic Armor General, "After returning to the city, deploy all Moon Shadow Guards to fully investigate border forces, not even a small sect should be overlooked!"
Hearing this, the Mystic Armor General straightened his body and said, "Understood, your subordinate will follow the order!"
The group returned to the City Lord Manor.
After the incident at Wind Chime Valley.
Whether it was the City Lord Manor or the Moon Shadow Guards, they began patrolling the entire city, with a heavily tense atmosphere.
Moreover.
Three days later,
everyone was shocked to find hundreds of figures in white mystic armor appearing in the air above the City Lord Manor!
"Those are the Imperial Guards of the Divine Country!"
"Oh my! What on earth has happened for the Divine Country to send the Imperial Guards here?"
"Haven’t you heard? Those evil cultivators!"
"But isn’t mobilizing the Imperial Guards overdoing it..."
Hundreds of Imperial Guards in white mystic armor spread out around the city, with only one entering the City Lord Manor.
Ba Xiyue and others once again gathered in the main hall of the City Lord Manor.
The Imperial Guard in white mystic armor did not kneel respectfully upon seeing Ba Xiyue, merely cupping his hands slightly before directly saying, "Matters concerning the Holy Sect are classified, but to be brief, the Holy Sect had never appeared in the Fuyao Realm. It was personally suppressed to extinction by the Saint Master of the Holy Court."
The Saint Master of the Holy Court personally intervened?!
Everyone was utterly astonished!
The Saint Master stands at the pinnacle of the World Tree, yet this Holy Sect was personally suppressed by the Saint Master?
Just how large was the Holy Sect at that time?
The commander of the Imperial Guards continued, "Specific details cannot be disclosed, but the Holy Sect was indeed entirely destroyed... however, given that kind of force, leaving behind a legacy is quite normal, perhaps a legacy was left behind in the Fuyao Realm and someone obtained it."
Hearing this.
Ba Xiyue asked, "Are we able to locate the site of the legacy?"
The Imperial Guard commander... Jiang Yi said, "The Imperial Preceptor has made a move to divine, but it’s not easy."
"Then why did Commander Jiang personally come?" Ba Xiyue queried, "Shouldn’t Commander Jiang be stationed in the Imperial City?"
Jiang Yi said, "The Imperial Preceptor, after divination, speculates this resurrected Holy Sect might be no small matter. His Majesty then instructed me to come... Moreover, I fear this place has already been infiltrated."
