Chapter 849 Relocation (Part 1)
“In other words…” Han Yi pondered for a moment, looking slightly tired, “There are two routes: either go through Yunzhou Prefecture, or detour through the prefectural city and bypass Pingyuan.”
Unlike the Myriad Flower Palace, the Three Mountains Sect's secret realm does not contain any demon king-level beings.
Moreover, the magic array there is intact and functioning normally. Most of the demons they encountered have already been drained, so the amount of demonic energy they can absorb is naturally much less than that of the Myriad Flower Palace.
With the addition of the treacherous Night Wanderer, Han Yi had basically wiped them all out in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
After wiping out the Three Mountains Sect, Han Yi quickly rode off and took the opportunity to travel around Yunzhou.
It mainly refers to the area where the Six Wonders of Yunzhou are located. These are the so-called Six Wonders of Yunzhou.
Compassionate Hand Master Yuanjue, Flesh Dragon Hong Jiaojiao, Thousand Hands Xu Feihong, Spirit Sword Zhao Ying, Yin Yang Poison Wen Huang, Form and Shadow Flowing Clouds Mu Piaomiao.
In other words, aside from Han Yi, these are the so-called six strongest people in Yunzhou.
The six corresponding major forces are Shouyi Temple, Wanhua Palace, Sanshan Sect, Tianjian Sect, Heiyan Society, and Yunxiao Sect.
Of course, this ranking does not include Yuan Miaozong.
Most of the six factions had participated in the pursuit and killing of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
The fates of the Three Mountains Sect and the Myriad Flowers Palace are self-evident.
Among the remaining forces, there are the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Black Flame Society... which are the forces of Zhao Ying of the Spirit Sword and Wen Huang of the Yin-Yang Poison Sect.
Han Yi didn't even give prior notice before visiting.
However, these two forces have only recently risen to prominence; previously, they were just ordinary second-rate powers.
Han Yi, naturally, did not find the demonic essence he longed for here.
He was not disappointed, after all, Zhao Ying and Wen Huang were also among his targets.
The Yin-Yang Poison Wen Huang still wanted to feign surrender and secretly poison Wen Huang.
Han Yi was speechless.
With that little bit of poison, like a sugar pill... and you still resisted?
A single thought caused Ye You to swallow both the poison and himself in one gulp.
After dealing with these matters, Han Yi didn't dare to linger outside any longer.
With his concerns on his mind, he immediately returned to the convoy.
“That’s a fair understanding.” Zhong Han nodded. “The former is shorter and takes a straight line, so it’s naturally the fastest. The latter takes a longer route and goes in a circle, so it’s definitely more discreet.”
“In my opinion, we should just leave from the prefectural city,” Old Fu interjected. “Actually, at this point in time, talking about secrecy is just self-deception. The faster we go, the better. The sooner we leave Yunzhou, the less danger we will face.”
His words were met with agreement and agreement from the people around him.
If Yuanmiao Sect hadn't discovered them at the beginning, and hadn't sent anyone to stop them, the Wanshou Sect's caravan would have continued on its previous route, taking back roads and proceeding stealthily.
The situation is now clear.
Thanks to the powerful rise of Sect Master Han Yi, he single-handedly repelled the pursuit of the Yuanmiao Sect.
The group from the Myriad Beasts Sect have temporarily escaped the shadow of death.
Safety was ensured in a short period of time.
In this situation, there's no point in hiding anything.
The faster the speed and the shorter the time, the safer it would be to leave the Yuanmiao Sect's territory. This is where the divergence in routes arises.
A group of high-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, represented by Elder Fu, proposed to speed things up and take the official road directly to leave Yunzhou as quickly as possible.
“But…” Zhong Yunxiu hesitated, “Yuanmiao Sect’s mountain is not far from Yunzhou Prefecture… If we swagger through the prefectural city… wouldn’t that be too provocative?”
"Will there be less trouble in Pingyuan?" Old Fu shook his head. "Taking a detour through Pingyuan will add two days to the journey. And if you go through Pingyuan, you can't avoid a certain powerful force."
He moved his finger and tapped a point on the map.
“You mean…” Zhong Yunxiu’s pupils contracted slightly, “…Shouyi Temple?!”
“That’s right.” Old Fu nodded. “Shouyi Temple’s attitude is ambiguous. It’s unclear whether they are friend or foe. If we rush in and confront Shouyi Temple… it will be a very dangerous situation.”
His concerns were not without merit. Shouyi Temple, once a martial arts powerhouse on par with Yuanmiao Sect, was still the best in Yunzhou, even in its current decline, second only to Yuanmiao Sect.
In particular, some of the forces chasing the convoy also discovered traces of Master Yuanjue, the abbot of Shouyi Temple.
Under this premise.
They even rashly entered the area where Shouyi Temple is located.
It's not much different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
When Shouyi Temple unleashes its full power, its 108 Golden Arhat Formation is hailed as the most powerful formation in Yunzhou. Even the strongest experts from the main peak of Yuanmiao Sect find it extremely troublesome.
Everyone was talking at once, each saying their own thing, and no one could convince anyone else.
In such crucial decisions, the slightest misstep can lead to complete defeat.
Therefore, no one dared to confidently say that there would be absolutely no problem. After discussing for a while, everyone's voices gradually lowered.
He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Han Yi, who was deep in thought.
He was the only one who could make the final decision.
"Any news from the Yuanmiao Sect?" Han Yi asked in a deep voice, his gaze falling on Zhong Han.
Zhong Han shook his head, a bitter smile on his face: "No. All the intelligence channels we established in the prefectural city are now unreachable. Now, let alone the Yuanmiao Sect, we can't even get any news about the Three Mountains Sect or the Myriad Flower Palace..."
The intelligence network of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was painstakingly built by her and Han Yi.
At its peak, even unusual movements within the Yuanmiao Sect could be detected immediately.
Unfortunately.
These channels, along with the disbandment of the Myriad Beasts Sect and the pursuit and destruction by the Yuanmiao Sect, have long since vanished.
The number of people who left with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was ultimately limited. The caravan could only spare a group of people to investigate the movements within a ten-mile radius, which was already the limit.
"We can't blame them. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Besides, we've offended the Yuanmiao Sect. Cutting off contact to protect ourselves is only human nature."
Han Yi comforted him, "Let's leave the Three Mountains Sect and the Myriad Flowers Palace aside for now. The focus should be on Yunzhou Prefecture, keeping track of the Yuanmiao Sect's movements."
Fortunately, the Beast Clan's intelligence network has been cut off, and the convoy is constantly on the move, so information is not readily available.
If they find out...
It only took most of the day.
Myriad Flower Palace, Three Mountains Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, Black Flame Society...
With four top-tier forces in Yunzhou successively defeated by Han Yi, some people are bound to start speculating wildly. The more they try to explain, the worse it gets, and who knows what they might portray Han Yi as.
“Understood. I’ll figure something out,” Zhong Han said helplessly. “But since it involves the Yuanmiao Sect, we’ll have to rebuild the channels… so the timeliness can’t be guaranteed.”
"Okay, let's do our best. After all..."
Han Yi stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.
"You guys discuss this first. I need to go out for a bit. I have some things to take care of."
After a moment of distraction, Han Yi's figure flashed, and he flew out of the carriage in a whoosh.
The others were used to it and didn't pay any attention, continuing their discussion about route selection.
Inhale, pause, move upwards, break through the air, exhale.
Han Yi's figure soared into the sky, and the true energy under his feet condensed into steps for him to step on and gain momentum.
With each push, he propelled himself dozens of meters upwards.
In the blink of an eye, Han Yi arrived in the sky above the convoy.
Standing hundreds of meters in the air and looking down, the massive convoy of the Myriad Beasts Sect was moving forward slowly, like ants carrying food.
All around were thin, sparse clouds, with white clouds changing shape with the airflow, appearing fierce and menacing.
"Tell me. What's the situation over there...?" Ripples spread through the air behind Han Yi as Ye You suddenly leaped out.
The Beast Sect's intelligence channels were cut off, but fortunately, they had Night Wanderer, the Night Demon King who specialized in intelligence gathering, and his role became apparent in this situation.
"We can't get in. All the shadowy gaps are blocked; we can only observe from a distance." A helpless human face appeared on the Night Wanderer's body.
After following Han Yi's slaughter, his condition had clearly recovered well. His face was lifelike, and even the subtlest expressions could be clearly seen. "Besides... the demonic aura I'm carrying..." His face visibly wrinkled, his expression full of bitterness.
Ye You was originally captured and sealed away by the Yuanmiao Sect, but now Han Yi has sent him to investigate the Yuanmiao Sect's intelligence up close...
Just looking at it from a distance is enough to make one's heart tremble.
It felt like standing on the crater of a volcano, where one wrong step could send you tumbling down.
Although I was extremely unwilling.
Unfortunately, he had no choice but to obey Han Yi's order.
"That is..."
Han Yi had no time to offer comfort; his mind was filled with the images transmitted by the Night Wanderer, and his expression gradually became serious.
He hadn't paid much attention to the fleeting glimpse he'd just caught in the train carriage.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that something was clearly wrong.
At the location of the Yuanmiao Sect's mountain gate, a sky full of red light blotted out the sun, dazzling and blinding.
A massive red volcano slowly rotates in the sky, its twisted, eerie flames enveloping the surroundings. Its imposing presence makes it seem as if the sky itself is ablaze, a terrifying sight of mountains burning and seas boiling.
That wasn't real fire.
Rather, it's because the heat emitted is too high, and the spontaneous radiation affects the surrounding environment.
With its astonishing brightness and terrifying heat, even the sun appears slightly dimmer in comparison.
It looked as if two golden crows were hanging high in the sky, continuously radiating light.
"It seems... I have no choice but to change course..." Han Yi slowly exhaled and looked into the distance.
The location of Yuanmiaozong was still quite far from where he was now. Even so.
Look into the distance.
Han Yi could still sense a terrifying energy fluctuation, lurking and brewing, slowly spreading throughout Yunzhou, centered on Yuanmiao Sect.
He originally intended to pass directly past Yunzhou Prefecture.
There are still a few things to do in Yunzhou Prefecture.
Qingtang and Yaohui, siblings, were still in the prefectural city when the caravan passed by and picked them up.
His two senior brothers also frequented the city.
As the true successors of the Green Robe Alliance after its destruction, these two senior brothers should return to the North this time to acknowledge their ancestors and return to their roots.
besides…...
Han Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a layer of gloom appeared deep in his eyes.
