Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: If You Have No Shame Yourself
In order to make Han Yan and the others suffer, he had started preparations several days in advance. The prohibition hidden within the Pill Furnace had cost him several days and nights of effort, to the point where his eyes were swollen from exhaustion. Last night, he even had to deliver Elixirs to each peak and valley through the middle of the night without even a moment’s rest. But after all these days of hard work, this was the result.
Anticipating, anticipating, and in the end, even he had lost hope, leaving only confusion and unwillingness in his heart.
"Alright, the hour is almost upon us, let’s go," Mu Hanyan finally finished refining the last Elixir, and said to Zhuang Ping’an and the others around noon.
Zhuang Ping’an and the others admired Mu Hanyan to the utmost, with no objection at all. They followed her with smiles blooming on their faces.
"Well, Young Master Han, you’ve seen my skills now, aren’t you satisfied?" Before leaving, Mu Hanyan did not forget to provoke Han Yutang a little.
Lady Mu was not the type who would respond with a smile to someone’s slap in the face. If someone slapped her, she would certainly return it, and with more force.
"Hmph, it’s just luck; what’s so great about it," Han Yutang retorted unwillingly.
"Luck, you say? Why don’t you try it yourself and see if you’re so lucky," Mu Hanyan shot him a disdainful glance and turned to leave.
Han Yutang was at a loss for words, choked by Mu Hanyan. Once could be luck, twice could also be luck, but Mu Hanyan refined over a hundred Elixirs, and the Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace didn’t explode. How could that still be luck?
Could there be something wrong with this Pill Furnace? No, if there were a problem, it should have exploded more fiercely. Could it be that someone fixed this Pill Furnace? But who could have such skill? Han Yutang couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
"Come here, help me figure out what’s going on with this Pill Furnace," Han Yutang shouted to his sidekick.
Despite his notoriety as a playboy, Han Yutang could arrange the Thousand Illusion Demon Suppressing Array and clandestinely set up prohibitions within the Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace. He had some merits; always digging to the bottom of things and seeking thorough understanding. Unless he clarified things today, he probably couldn’t sleep.
"Young Master, why not just let it go, this Pill Furnace should be fine, maybe Mu Hanyan was just really lucky," the sidekick slowly approached, reluctantly uttering.
For some reason, when looking at the Pill Furnace, an intense unease welled up inside him.
"Nonsense, why don’t you try it yourself and see if you have such good luck," Han Yutang rebuked him, echoing Mu Hanyan’s words.
Seeing Han Yutang burst into anger, the sidekick dared not say anything more and obediently followed him, squatting next to the Pill Furnace to inspect it carefully.
The sidekick had helped in setting up the prohibitions a few days earlier, so both were familiar with the Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace.
"Eh, isn’t this the prohibition set up by the Young Master? Why does it seem a little different?" the sidekick suddenly remarked.
"Where is it different?" Han Yutang leaned over.
"This poor fellow, hasn’t he heard that curiosity killed the cat?" Mu Hanyan sighed in pity as she heard the movement behind her.
Just as Han Yutang leaned closer, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and the entire Pill Furnace trembled violently. Instantly, a terrifying aura permeated the air.
"Watch out!" a guard cried out in shock from not far away.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The thunder roared and azure lightning appeared, like an enraged Thunder Dragon, roaring as it charged toward Han Yutang and his companion. The entire Sacred Pill Peak shuddered with the thunder’s might; its power was immense.
"Ah..." Han Yutang and his companion cried out in agony, collapsing to the ground.
"I knew it, I knew this would happen..." The sidekick was charred black, foaming at the mouth, twitching with limbs spasming, his eyes filled with helplessness, muttering remorsefully, in a miserable state just like during the Thousand Illusion Demon Suppression Array.
Beside him, Han Yutang was also entirely charred, coughing up blood, his hair exuding wisps of smoke, and his left hand twisted in a bizarre position, clearly indicating fractured bones and injured internal organs, with more severe injuries.
"Young Master Han, Young Master Han!" Everyone in the hall was stunned, only snapping back to reality after a while, hurriedly rushing to support Han Yutang, feeding pills and setting bones, bustling with activity.
Zhuang Ping’an and the others had turned their heads to witness the shocking scene, and then simultaneously turned to look at Mu Hanyan.
Only then did they realize the immense power contained within the Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace and how much risk Mu Hanyan had taken to refine those Elixirs for them.
Beyond admiration, they felt endless gratitude towards Mu Hanyan.
"Mu Hanyan, what tricks did you play inside that Pill Furnace?" An elder suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at Mu Hanyan.
This elder was from the Divine Elder Peak, accompanying Han Yutang. His name was Han Minggao, and he had reached the Sword Saint Realm.
Mu Hanyan refined over a hundred Elixirs without a hitch, but as soon as Han Yutang approached, it exploded. Anyone with a little intelligence could guess that Mu Hanyan must have done something to it.
"Tricks in the Pill Furnace? No wonder I felt something was off earlier. Who is so despicable? Isn’t this clearly causing harm? But I don’t know where the trick was done. Would the elder mind pointing it out, so I can witness the methods of such a despicable person?" Mu Hanyan mocked.
Anyway, the prohibition inside the Pill Furnace was Han Yutang’s own doing, and she only made slight modifications while refining. Even if discovered, it was Han Yutang’s doing, having nothing to do with her.
Han Minggao hesitated slightly, his expression becoming uncertain.
Mu Hanyan sneered coldly. The prohibition Han Yutang set was extremely intricate, not the work of a day or two, nor could it escape everyone’s eyes. The elder probably knew about it, yet dared to accuse her, downright shameless.
"Elder, if there’s no solid evidence, you’d better not talk nonsense. Don’t think being older allows you to act outrageously. If you have no shame, don’t blame me for showing you none," Mu Hanyan said mercilessly.
Han Yutang acted wantonly, one could say due to being spoiled and ignorant, but this old man, at his age, was utterly unreasonable, clearly disrespecting his age.
If he were a true moral elder, Mu Hanyan would naturally treat him with respect, but towards those who disrespect their age, she wouldn’t be polite at all.
Han Minggao, scolded thoroughly by Mu Hanyan, was white with anger but did not dare to present any evidence. Others may not have seen the prohibition laid by Han Yutang, but he had seen all the unique methods of Ao Fangchen used. If he pointed it out, wouldn’t that be a confession?
