"Should we..." Lianxin whispered, "test it again? No need to go to trouble, just ask Li Feibai and the other two, and we can find out more or less about that person's identity."
She understands completely now.
The Nine Yin School might just be a disguise for that person; there's clearly a bigger conspiracy targeting the entire Northern Regions.
As one of the hundred meridians.
She has a responsibility, an obligation, and a necessity...
"Have you forgotten what I usually say?" Lianxin's thoughts were interrupted, and when she looked up, she saw the old man's strange expression.
“If the sky falls, tall people will hold it up. If there are external enemies, naturally the people of the Demon Saint Palace will handle them.” The old man’s voice was deep. “Our Ronghua Mansion’s motto is just four words… Miss, you should remember it.”
“Harmony brings wealth…” Lianxin said weakly.
“That’s right.” The old man nodded. “Ronghua, Ronghua, doesn’t it just mean wealth and prosperity? The reason why Ronghua Mansion has accumulated such enormous wealth and is richer than a country is because the principle it always follows is the four words: harmony brings wealth.”
So what if the demon realm invades? Our Ronghua Manor has friends there. As long as we use money, no matter how dire the situation, Ronghua Manor will always find a way out.
"Teacher, what do you mean..." Lianxin asked helplessly.
"Let's leave it at that." The old man clasped his hands together, and the high-speed spirit boat suddenly veered off course. "Since you've already sworn an oath, and you're the highest-level Mother of All Spirits at that, just breaking that oath would be a huge hassle. Besides…"
He paused, his gaze turning serious: "I think... that person is not someone our Ronghua Mansion can afford to offend..." "That look... that look..." A hint of tension flashed across the old man's face, and Lianxin tensed up as well.
“Miss may not have noticed…” the old man sighed, “That person… before I appeared and after I appeared, his eyes never changed… they were like a calm, stagnant pool, like the eyes of someone looking at a dead person.”
“You mean…” Lianxin felt a chill run down her spine, “that person had already discovered the teacher’s presence, but he didn’t care… or rather, he didn’t take us seriously at all. Killing us or not killing us wouldn’t affect the overall situation.”
The old man didn't speak, but his expression was somewhat gloomy.
He recalled what had just happened.
He had a feeling.
It wasn't that the other side couldn't stop the two of them; they just didn't make a move out of some hesitation.
"Remember, pretend today's events never happened... Don't tell anyone, lest... you get yourself into trouble..."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and focused all his energy on controlling the spirit boat to fly.
Lianxin nodded helplessly in agreement.
Actually, there was another question she didn't mention.
What kind of trouble could it cause?
There is the Demon Saint Palace, and there are so many old monsters from the upper, middle, and lower levels.
There are hundreds of scattered forces, large and small, all together. Are they afraid of just one person?
Although she really wanted to speak, Lianxin held back and remained silent.
Because she knew that even if she asked, there would be no answer.
Everyone should take care of his own business.
That's just how things are in the North.
Otherwise, they would have a far greater power than humans.
Whether it's the number of experts, the strength of mid-to-low-level martial arts, or the various techniques, secret arts, and magical artifacts... Baimai is a cut above.
However, the Baimai, who were stronger, could only occupy the northern lands, sharing the spoils with the human race, and were evenly matched.
There may be some reasons for this.
Lianxin knew the answer to the question, and in fact, everyone in the Hundred Veins knew the answer.
No one can change that.
All Lianxin could do was sigh deeply.
……………
……………
Sanlingqu Canal.
Beneath the tall statue, in front of a small red-tiled building.
Han Yi sat calmly in front of the building, his expression indifferent, seemingly lost in thought.
Standing nearby were Li Feibai and Ye Jindie, one serving tea and water, the other fanning himself. Both of them had big front teeth showing and were all smiles.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that both of them have a layer of fine sweat on their foreheads, cheeks, and necks, and their smiles look forced and stiff.
"Alright, no need to be so attentive," Han Yi suddenly said.
"Since we're going to die either way, wouldn't it be better to just show it outright?"
Boom!
Li Feibai lost his grip, and the tea lid collided with the teacup, making a crisp sound.
He hurriedly put down his teacup, wanting to say something, but his knees buckled and his waist slammed against the table with a thud.
Click! !
Suddenly, the teaware on the table began to shake and rattle, some even falling to the ground and breaking in two, spilling tea everywhere, creating an extremely messy scene. "I..." Li Feibai stammered, his face contorted with grief, his eyes wide with terror, his mind blank, completely forgetting what he wanted to say.
Ye Jindie, standing next to her, wasn't much better off.
After listening to Han Yi's explanation.
His body trembled violently, the soil beneath his feet seemed to have turned into a highly elastic sponge, he swayed unsteadily, his hands mechanically fanning himself, his face deathly pale, he had no idea what he was doing.
"What are you panicking about?" Han Yi found it somewhat amusing. "Could it be... that you have a better plan?"
"Brother Han... no, Lord Han!" Li Feibai's face was ashen, his hands and feet were ice-cold, and his waist and knees went limp. He suddenly knelt on the ground. "Those three, Lianxin and the others... I didn't know they would come. It was purely an accident, and I am an innocent victim. Please, have mercy on me. I swear, no matter who it is, even if I die, I will not reveal a single word about what happened today!" He remained calm and composed.
How could he not panic?
I witnessed firsthand how Lianxin and the other two were toyed with like children by Han Yi, and killed one by one.
Even the dignified young lady of Ronghua Mansion, the Lotus Heart Saintess, despite using all her methods and exerting all her strength, was still rescued in a sorry state and fled in panic.
Li Feibai was filled with regret.
He regretted that he shouldn't have been greedy.
I regret that I shouldn't have come.
He regretted taking on Han Yi's job in the first place.
but.
It's too late to regret.
Li Feibai knew very well that knowing too many secrets... could kill someone!
"Swear an oath?" Han Yi laughed upon hearing this.
If he believed in his oath, he would have released Lianxin long ago instead of taking action.
"Don't call me heartless. Choose a method that you find comfortable: poison, fire, suicide... Don't try to escape, that will only lead to a more gruesome death. If you really can't decide, I can help you." Han Yi said casually, glancing at the two of them indifferently.
Pfft...
A faint sound came from Ye Jindie. This middle-aged beauty was so frightened by Han Yi's gaze that she lost control of her bladder and bowels.
After witnessing Han Yi's strength firsthand, she had no doubt about the truthfulness of his words.
Nothing else is needed.
That devastating punch was enough to crush any possible thoughts in one's mind. "...Can...Is it possible to survive?" Li Feibai was also in poor condition, on the verge of collapse, but as a former genius of his family, he had seen some big scenes before. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and asked palely.
"Undying?" Han Yi laughed again. "Do you think... you can keep the secret after the people from Ronghua Mansion come knocking on your door? How can you keep it a secret if you're not dead?"
He was unaware that, after being persuaded by her teacher, Lianxin had actually given up the idea of revenge afterward, and was still subconsciously considering the worst possible outcome.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
The fact that Lianxin was rescued means that this matter will be exposed sooner or later.
Sooner or later.
So the most urgent task is...
The task is to reach the Myriad Manifestations Cave as quickly as possible, settle the members of the Myriad Beasts Sect, and confirm their identities. They must be officially recognized as members of the Hundred Veins and are forbidden from killing each other.
At least within the jurisdiction of the Demon Saint Palace, this rule must be followed.
With peace of mind to stay in the city and not worry about everyone's safety, Han Yi will have the energy and time to deal with Ronghua Mansion again.
On the surface, the two elders' deaths were due to two different causes: one was accidentally injured by a companion, and the other committed suicide because she couldn't bear the blow.
They all turned into a pool of black ash.
The ending is the same.
This has nothing to do with Han Yi.
I believe that as long as we provide sufficient compensation, the other party is unlikely to make a big fuss over the mere two servants and insist on a life-or-death struggle.
Of course, even if Ronghua Mansion insisted on making a fuss, Han Yi didn't care.
After all, he had already offended the Yuanmiao Sect to the death, so why would he be afraid of a mere lower third-level branch? Even if the other party was ranked higher.
There are too many lice and they are not itchy.
Fearing that Han Yi might provoke him and launch a bloody revenge, they decided to do the same.
With his current strength, if he were to launch a full-scale operation, no force would be able to withstand such a blow.
“Uh… I think…” Li Feibai glanced at Han Yi’s expression and answered cautiously, “The Ronghua Manor wouldn’t deliberately cause trouble for you, sir, just because of Qingmei and the other girl… After all, the Ronghua Manor’s consistent approach is to make money through harmony…”
"Hmm? Tell me more." Han Yi became interested and looked over.
In a panic, Li Feibai blurted out a string of words: "First of all, Lianxin swore an oath in the name of the Mother of All Spirits, it's not just empty talk. Once sworn, the oath must be fulfilled..."
"I see." Han Yi said thoughtfully. The Mother of All Spirits, to put it simply, plays a role similar to a creator god in the Hundred Veins.
Legend has it that all living beings in the world are born from the Mother of All Spirits, including humans, beasts, demons... even the demon race is no exception.
The mother of all spirits, who nurtures and protects all things, and is the source of all life.
Legend has it that the true form of the Mother of All Spirits is a colossal tree that stretches to the heavens and the earth, its verdant canopy as vast as the sea, towering majestically against the sky. Its sprawling canopy casts endless radiance, illuminating all things in the world.
Therefore, many people affectionately call it the mother tree or the tree mother.
The people of the Hundred Veins swore an oath in the name of the Mother of All Spirits, representing the highest level of commitment and a promise they would absolutely keep.
