"..."
They fell silent again, speechless.
He and Han Yi had been friends for many years and had a close relationship, which also extended to the entire Hu family and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
No one expected it.
The Myriad Beasts Sect has come to this point.
The Yuanmiao Sect, which lies overhead over Yunzhou, is the true God of Heaven.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.
He wanted to help Han Yi, but he was powerless to do so.
If they were to incur the wrath of the Yuanmiao Sect, the lives of hundreds of members of the Hu family would be at stake. Therefore, even speaking up for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and saying a few kind words was not an option.
This pale, powerless, and indescribable pain.
He hadn't felt it for a long time.
He looked up and glanced at his father, Hu Liuyun.
Whether this warning was meant for him or a reminder to cut off contact with Han Yi and be careful not to get burned, is unknown.
Think about it.
The latter is probably more common...
Tap tap…
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
The two looked up at the sound.
But then they saw the abbot, Master Huizhao, walking briskly towards them.
"Master, what is this...?" Hu Liuyun asked, frowning. To keep Hu Youyou's secret, the Hu family had booked the entire area within a ten-mile radius of Fenghua Temple.
Most of the people in the temple were temporarily dispersed to other places.
They even brought out a batch of valuable items, their purpose being to silence the gossip.
Abbot Huizhao came to see him again... Could it be that he thinks the money is too little?
"Young master, there is a letter for you."
Unexpectedly, Master Huizhao didn't even glance at Hu Liuyun, but walked straight up to him with a respectful tone.
"What is it? Master, please speak frankly." Hu Liuyun frowned even more deeply and said in a low voice with a sullen face.
Huizhao just kept shaking his head.
"I specifically instructed that this letter... can only be opened by **Young Master."
"Even I can't know?" Hu Liuyun's face darkened. "I'm his father."
“Um…no.” Huizhao hesitated for a moment. “Even if his grandfather came, it wouldn’t work, except for Young Master **.”
Perhaps noticing Hu Liuyun's bad expression, he added quietly at the end.
"This is what the master said himself. If Lord Hu has any objections, he can go to Shouyi Temple to find Brother Huiwu and ask for an explanation."
"Shouyi Temple?" Hu Liuyun was taken aback, but did not ask any further questions.
The Hu family is already affected by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and is worried that the Yuanmiao Sect will be implicated, leading to internal turmoil and external instability, leaving them vulnerable and adrift.
If we offend Shouyi Temple, the second most powerful force in Yunzhou, again...
I'm afraid the Hu family... really won't even know what happened when they died.
"At a time like this... someone would still write to me?" He was somewhat bewildered, but also intrigued. Surrounded by wolves, they were eager for the Hu family to fall so they could pounce and tear off a piece of their flesh, taking a slice of the spoils.
While others would avoid him like the plague, someone actually went out of their way to deliver a letter to him?
The secret letter, lacquered in red, was delivered to me very quickly.
Without much thought, I quickly tore out the letter.
He wasn't afraid of being plotted against.
For a martial arts master like him, especially one skilled in poison, possessing a kind of demonic secret technique... he's a cultivator with a fully stacked buff.
There is no way in the world to harm him silently and secretly with poison.
not to mention.
If they really wanted to harm him, there was no need to go through the Shouyi Temple's channels to send a message.
"My friend **..." The letter unfolded, revealing the handwriting in an instant.
The above content immediately made **'s eyes widen.
After quickly reading the contents, his expression turned strange. He stared blankly into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
"Ping'er?"
Hu Liuyun couldn't contain himself any longer and asked in a low voice.
"What...did the letter say?"
Coming to his senses, he shook his head slightly.
"It's nothing... Perhaps we don't need to worry about Youyou anymore." He seemed somewhat dazed. "Even our Hu family... doesn't need to worry about the Yuanmiao Sect anymore..."
"...What?!" Hu Liuyun's face showed a hint of astonishment. "Ping'er...is...is this really true?"
"...Naturally...it's true..." **He kept staring into the distance, his expression strange.
The letter was sent by Han Yi. It didn't contain anything special, only saying that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would soon leave Yunzhou for the North, and that the Hu family could take them with them if they wished.
Of course, if they don't leave, then if the Hu family encounters difficulties in the future, they can go to Shouyi Temple for help on their own.
Master Yuanjue and the eminent monks of Shouyi Temple will provide their full assistance…
There were also some things that Han Yi had specially prepared, which would be delivered by people from Shouyi Temple in a few days...
Although the tone was calm, the meaning was extraordinary.
If we were to rank the various forces within Yunzhou.
At the summit, there must be the Yuanmiao Sect, whose glory surpasses all other mountains.
Located on the mountaintop is Shouyi Temple.
The rest are ranked down to the so-called major powers, etc.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad Shouyi Temple is, it is still the second strongest in Yunzhou, a behemoth capable of arguing with Yuanmiaozong on a level playing field.
After all, the status of the martial arts holy land is gone, but Shouyi Temple still has the status of a Buddhist holy land.
Take the abbot of Fenghua Temple right now, for example. If Shouyi Temple were to issue an order, he would not hesitate to go against Yuanmiaozong.
so…...
The Hu family, with Shouyi Temple as their backing…
As long as it's not excessive.
sit back and relax.
Moreover, it is not difficult to discern the underlying meaning in Han Yi's words from the letter.
It was as if Shouyiji was a subordinate to be assigned at will, whom he could easily command and order around.
This is where my feelings are truly complex.
It was a bit strange, a bit peculiar, and I couldn't quite describe the feeling.
Looking back, when I first met Han Yi, he was a deliveryman who spent his days looking for part-time jobs to earn money.
Their strength is even more negligible.
Poison alone can easily incapacitate someone.
I don’t know when it started.
Han Yi is starting to become a monster.
His poison resistance was incredibly strong, his body was as hard as stone, and he possessed both powerful bloodlines and true energy... His strength soared like a rocket.
Now, even after offending the Yuanmiao Sect, he can still live a carefree life, and with a single word, he can keep the entire Shouyi Temple busy.
"To have such a good friend in this life... I... I am truly blessed beyond measure..."
Looking into the distance, his tone was filled with emotion.
He felt a strange sense of loss, but also a sense of relief.
Han Yi's side, including the Hu family... are all safe.
But the words that were once spoken...
The idea of one day catching up with this friend... has truly become just empty talk.
It is something that can be hoped for but not reached.
"It seems... the rumors that the Three Mountains Sect and the Myriad Flowers Palace were both destroyed by one person... are true..."
Hu Liuyun, who had finished glancing at the letter in a few breaths and then read it carefully again, looked horrified, equally startled by the contents of the letter.
He didn't believe any of these things at all originally.
In front of hundreds of people, he charged in alone, brutally killed Xu Feihong and Hong Jiaojiao, crushed the entire sect, and still came out unscathed. What a mess!
Those so-called eyewitnesses are all crazy, talking nonsense. They're just a few lunatics who've lost their minds, spouting rubbish and raving insane nonsense.
One person... could destroy a huge sect?
What a joke.
The secret was only mentioned briefly in the letter...
And the way he arbitrarily ordered around Shouichiji Temple...
“Ping’er… your friend… has probably transcended the realm of ordinary martial artists… a Venerable One… a supreme martial artist… no longer merely a suspected one…” Hu Liuyun said with a complicated expression.
The Venerable One is the dream of countless martial artists.
True transcendence.
Reborn.
To step into that realm is no ordinary feat. Han Yi did indeed have the record of defeating two masters from the Yuanmiao Sect.
But this battle.
There were no witnesses.
Neither side announced the match publicly.
The specific situation is unclear, and it's hard to say whether any third party has intervened.
Therefore... it can only be considered a suspected case.
Far inferior.
The massacre of the entire Wanhua Valley family that happened nearby had a great impact on Hu Liuyun.
"He's heading north... I'm afraid he won't be back for a long time..." he sighed softly.
“It’s alright that he’s gone…” Hu Liuyun sighed.
A long sigh, containing countless thoughts and sorrows.
Han Yi's existence was already a thorn in the side of Yuanmiao Sect that couldn't be left unaddressed; now, with him completely removed...
It's good for the Myriad Beasts Sect, the Yuanmiao Sect, and the Hu family...
He didn't reply, but his eyes dimmed.
His figure soared into the sky like a great bird, and with a light leap, he arrived at a high point of Fenghua Temple.
"Brother Han... I'm sorry I can't see you off any further. This cup... I'll offer you tea instead of wine..."
He raised his teacup, gazed into the distance, and looked solemn.
Raise a glass.
Head up.
Drink it all in one gulp.
"Though mountains are high and roads are long, we will surely meet again. Wishing you... a safe journey!"
The teacup is turned upside down.
It was spotless inside. Not a drop was left.
……………
……………
The border of Yunzhou.
A massive boundary marker stands.
The black, square rocks stand silently, lonely and indifferent, like statues of gods hanging high, looking down on the world.
"Alright, Master, that's enough for now. If it goes any further... you can just leave with us and head to the North."
The two groups stood facing each other. Han Yi stood in front, smiling, and made a joke.
Behind him, a convoy slowly moved toward him from the distant official road.
After making an alliance with Yuanjue and Jiamo.
With the full cooperation of Shouyi Temple, the rest of the journey for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was much wider and more comfortable, and their speed was also much faster. They encountered no trouble whatsoever.
In just a few days, they passed the first hurdle ahead of schedule and arrived at the border of Yunzhou.
"The North...this old monk's bones...the journey is too far...I can't take it..." Yuanjue said with a wry smile, then changed the subject, "However...I'll have to trouble the sect leader to take care of them along the way..."
Behind him, a group of young monks carried large and small bags, their faces showing deep sorrow.
The man leading the group was none other than Han Yi's old acquaintance, the Venerable Huiwu.
