Chapter 673 - 651: Is Living in a Cave All We Can Do Now?


Chapter 673: Chapter 651: Is Living in a Cave All We Can Do Now?

Shen Han sat on the side, listening to the group’s discussion.

The two brothers, Shen Ye and Shen Ao, are the same kind of people.

What they think about in their hearts is only themselves.

The grievances they suffered in the past are naturally going to be returned one by one.

"What I’ve told you about Shen Ye is just child’s play.

The real revenge from Shen Ao is definitely aimed at Shen Han.

He harbors extreme hatred towards Shen Han.

He has been humiliated several times at the hands of Shen Han.

There was a period when Shen Ao was somewhat deranged, all because he was frightened by Shen Han.

I heard that Shen Han has stepped into the Immortal Realm; he feels that he will be oppressed for life.

His whole mindset collapsed.

Look at the outcome of the forces that are now close to Shen Han?

I think, perhaps Shen Han won’t come back for a year or two; he’s definitely hiding out there."

At this point, Shen Han stopped listening to the chatter of a group of tea-drinkers.

He continued on his way according to the location given by Shi Yuezhu.

During the journey, Shen Han thought a lot.

One thing is very certain.

Shen Ao is incredibly vengeful, and he won’t give up until he gets revenge.

Even if he hides, Xiaoyao Peak and the Yun Mansion are still constantly in danger.

It’s no surprise that the Shen Family has probably already promised some benefits to outsiders.

Anyone who can find Xiaoyao Peak or the hiding place of the Yun Family will gain some benefits.

Shen Han moved forward constantly giving himself psychological hints.

The fact that Xiaoyao Peak and the Yun Family chose to leave their residence shows that the problem must be very serious.

The millennia of heritage at Xiaoyao Peak had to be abandoned to leave the sect.

This shows how perilous the crisis is.

Shen Han is actually a bit worried, worried that they are having a very hard time now.

It is precisely because of this worry that during this period, Shen Han and Madam Yun communicated silently, as did Shi Yuezhu.

He never asked about their situation.

They probably wouldn’t describe their difficulties completely.

But at the same time, he did not dare to listen...

The location that Shi Yuezhu mentioned was getting closer and closer.

The surroundings were all farmland from peasants, looking like a village.

Shen Han actually knows that place.

It used to be the Yun Family’s herbal garden, where many Pills were grown, and many peasants were hired to work on it.

If the Yun Family didn’t have these gardens back then, they would lose money by selling those low-grade Pills at the very beginning.

However, over the years, these gardens have long become desolate.

Though the herbal garden is not far from Anyang City, it’s quite remote, except for those peasants back then, not many would know.

According to what Shi Yuezhu said, when Shen Han arrived at the appointed place, he still could not see any houses to live in.

Walking a bit further ahead.

In front of him was a rather desolate mountain range.

The mountain range stretched endlessly, the mountain was lush but all with overgrown weeds.

While searching, Shen Han finally found a cave entrance.

Walking inside, the cave was somewhat deep.

Even though it was summer, it was still slightly cold inside.

Walking all the way into the cave.

As if hearing some noise, a figure wielding a long sword blocked Shen Han’s path.

The two looked at each other, and everything around seemed to have stopped.

"I’m back."

Shen Han said softly.

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yuezhu gently stepped forward...

And embraced Shen Han...

Her whole face buried in Shen Han’s shoulder...

Seeing the surroundings, Shen Han already knew how difficult it was.

"How many people are in the cave?"

The two embraced, feeling the warmth in their arms, but Shen Han couldn’t help but ask.

"Less than a hundred people came together...

Many disciples of Xiaoyao Peak have already been disbanded, only some core disciples came here together.

On the Yun Family side, apart from the core family members, others have also been dispersed."

Shi Yuezhu spoke softly, without mentioning the casualties to Shen Han.

But Shen Han understood that in such a great calamity, it’s impossible for there to be no casualties.

The two talked softly, walking step by step into the cave.

The cave used to be a place where the Yun Family stored herbs.

The temperature here is relatively low and quite dry, making it very suitable for storage.

But how could a place for storing herbs be suitable for living?

Shen Han followed Shi Yuezhu deeper inside.

How could the living environment here match what Madam Yun said was not bad...

"Xiaoyao Peak encountered some trouble, but in fact, other forces are not doing well either.

Various forces have intersected for hundreds of years, all having enemies.

If the enemy side gains power in the Southern Heaven Continent, the crisis of great transformation will also come."

While speaking, Shen Han couldn’t help but stop and turn to look at Shi Yuezhu.

"Yuezhu, have you fought with the people from Tiger Peak Manor?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuezhu’s expression turned solemn.

The incident actually happened not long ago; Shen Han had only heard the news from Qianmu Fan when it happened just a few days prior.

Up until now, it hasn’t been a month yet.

Moreover, Shi Yuezhu remembered it deeply, how could she not recall clearly.

"The oppression that person displayed has never been seen in Great Wei.

It is completely different from the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm.

Even the aura when raising a hand, it would take several Immortal Realm strong individuals to barely withstand."

Shi Yuezhu didn’t want to make things sound too difficult.

But what was encountered that day was definitely more perilous than she described.

"In front of that person, only she is worthy of being called an Immortal.

We are too insignificant..."

If she hadn’t experienced it firsthand, Shi Yuezhu would never say such dispirited words.

They walked through the cave all along the way.

On the uneven mountain walls, quite a few oil lamps were hung.

The light was dim and gray, but it was still possible to borrow a bit of brightness.

The former storage room for piled-up medicinal herbs now had dry grass spread on the ground, serving as a temporary bed.

On the dry grass lay the injured.

Gu Simin, Cen Yunzi...

These Immortal Realm experts of Xiaoyao Peak, even Cen Yunzi who already possessed the strength of Second Grade of the Immortal Realm, were heavily injured.

"Having benefited from the ’Unceasing Skill,’ my injuries, though severe, are healing rapidly.

But my senior brothers and sisters, they..."

With the robust vigor of Immortal Realm, heavily injuring them in Great Wei was nearly impossible.

However, this time, almost everyone was significantly injured.

They might have even been hurt at the core.

"Was it Master Xingchuan who saved everyone?"

"Master burned his own Essence Qi, barely holding off that person..."

Among the strong of Great Wei, Master Xingchuan’s strength was undoubtedly among the best.

The powerful figure behind the Imperial Family of Great Wei had strength comparable to Master Xingchuan.

But even reaching such a level of strength, facing those from Tiger Peak Manor, he could barely resist...

Two people walked to an empty room.

Master Xingchuan lay fatigued, his eyes tightly closed.

Compared to the last time I saw him, I couldn’t tell how much he had aged...

Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu quietly backed out without disturbing anyone else resting.

"The Yun Family’s cave on the southern side is much more damp, the environment way worse.

They gave all this space to us..."

Looking at everyone’s conditions, Shen Han could already imagine the danger at that time.

Perhaps, it’s already quite fortunate to have survived.

The cave was very dark, making it difficult to distinguish day from night.

Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu walked out of the cave, cautiously heading south.

"The Shen Family provided many benefits in exchange for our information."

Shi Yuezhu gently explained, and Shen Han understood the reason, nodding his head.

The two walked in silence towards the cave where Yun Mansion was located.

The ceiling of this cave would often seep water during the plum rain season.

The entire cave felt cold and damp, quite unsuitable for human habitation.

Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu entered together.

Upon seeing Shen Han, the Yun Family was stunned.

Madam Yun and Cailing paused, then suddenly rushed forward.

"How stubborn you are, I told you not to come back, yet you insisted..."

Though she hugged Shen Han tightly, tears almost couldn’t be held back, but her words were full of reproach.

The remaining members of Yun Mansion gathered around.

Shen Han glanced left and right, and there were only a few dozen people left.

"Come in and sit, come in and sit."

As she spoke, Madam Yun led Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu inside.

There was no tea, only some plain water to drink.

Several places in the cave were leaking.

Even the living areas were still quite damp.

Everyone sat down together and chatted.

While walking around, Shen Han noticed the expressions of many in the Yun Family.

Their faces carried a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment towards him.

Shen Han understood, the reason Shen Ao attracted strong enemies to attack the Yun Family and Xiaoyao Peak.

Everyone actually knew it was Shen Han’s fault.

It was because of the feud between Shen Han and the Shen Family.

These peripheral members of the mansion didn’t have much emotional connection with Shen Han.

Actually, even if it was Yun Shuang himself, a member of the Yun Family, who caused such a great calamity, they would still feel resentment.

Shen Han could understand their feelings.

From a prosperous life to the current situation.

No longer living well, even basic safety was hard to guarantee.

Who knows if one day a strong enemy might descend from the sky and easily obliterate them in a single move.

Constant threat of losing life hangs over, nerves remain highly tense.

Resentment in hearts, nurturing hatred, is too normal.

Found a somewhat fresher place to sit down.

Several people sat down and conversed.

Shen Han looked around, extracting a few [damp] words.

The first thing Shen Han inquired about was the current situation.

The maternal grandfather from the Yun Family had no intention of hiding things and directly spoke the truth.

The biggest difficulty now is the lack of security guarantees.

Everyone lives under constant threat, anxious all day.

The Yun Family has managed well for so many years, and now, they are just above starvation.

But whatever is done, it must be done with caution.

If discovered by that powerful enemy, people might lose their lives in an instant.

Last time, there was Master Xingchuan desperately protecting them, but now Master Xingchuan is heavily injured.

Who else can come to protect...

Seeing everyone’s anxiety, Shen Han mentioned a slightly better news.

"Actually, you don’t need to worry too much about these things.

Those of us practicing the Old Method have strength hidden within our bodies.

If we don’t reveal our strength, we can conceal ourselves like regular people.

I thought, we should find a new place.

Where no one knows us, and others see us as strangers."
