Chapter 694: Chapter 672: Not Skilled at Concealment, But Far Stronger Than Everyone Else

In the courtyard, the Jin Mansion Master’s heartrending screams echoed.

And he’s considered lucky, still able to scream, still able to comprehend what pain feels like.

In contrast, the National Preceptor of Lingxiu looked far worse.

His body was pierced by the Sword Shadow, his vitality draining away.

He tried to speak, but his mouth was blocked by streams of blood.

What flowed from his mouth was bouquet after bouquet of fresh blood.

"Does anyone else want to give it a try?"

Shen Han stepped leisurely forward, walking to the center of the courtyard.

Seeing Shen Han rise and walk over, those who had previously been high and mighty quietly distanced themselves.

The Lingxiu Sovereign, who had been sitting in a chair, unconsciously stood up.

Seeing this, Shen Han didn’t hesitate either and pulled the chair to his side to sit down.

"Does anyone else want to spar with me?"

Receiving no answer, Shen Han asked again.

This time, everyone was more terrified, not daring to make the slightest sound.

The Jin Mansion Master and the National Preceptor were among the top experts here.

But what was their outcome?

Both attacked Shen Han together but to no avail; could anyone else succeed?

Now, they should have realized.

Shen Han is not particularly skilled in concealment.

Rather, Shen Han’s prowess far exceeded theirs in both stealth and sheer power.

"Lingxiu Sovereign, let me clear up some things for you now.

Previously, when I spoke to you, you might have doubted my words.

But now, you should be able to feel I wouldn’t deceive you.

You neither have the standing nor the power to warrant deceit from me."

Shen Han spoke softly, yet those present remained silent, not daring to refute a word.

The power demonstrated at this moment seemed to truly render the Lingxiu Sovereign unqualified.

"Today’s events, without exception, ought to be schemed by this Third Prince here.

If it weren’t for these disruptions brought by me, his plan might have succeeded."

As he spoke, Shen Han turned his head to look at the Third Prince.

"Right, Third Prince?"

Previously, he spoke of punishing Shen Han with the most brutal penalties.

Now, he didn’t even dare to face Shen Han directly.

"Am I correct? You should at least respond."

Pressed by Shen Han, the Third Prince stammered, "Yes..."

Admitting to his scheming today.

"So, Bai Zijing, who appears to be your elder brother’s person, is actually yours?"

"Yes..."

In the face of absolute power, the Third Prince dared not even lie.

He feared that a single lie would cost him his life from Shen Han.

The Lingxiu Sovereign hurriedly signaled, instructing someone to immediately capture Bai Zijing.

"Originally, I had no desire to use force to pressure everyone here.

But I didn’t expect that a simple request for benefits would encounter so many troubles."

Having said this, Shen Han no longer added more words.

Since everything was laid bare, there was no need to remain humble.

With a wave of his hand, he inscribed a pattern on the ground.

"Come take a look, have you seen this pattern before?

If you can provide some concrete clues, perhaps you can face less punishment today."

Upon hearing Shen Han’s words, everyone’s hearts sank.

This indicated that Shen Han would certainly punish them...

Thinking of this, the Lingxiu Sovereign immediately stepped forward, followed by several personal guards to observe.

A group of people racked their brains, striving to recall anything.

Watching this, Shen Han rose from his chair and left, allowing space for everyone to view.

It didn’t take long before Bai Zijing was brought in.

When she was brought in, she thought her plan was exposed, and everything was over.

Entering the courtyard, upon seeing Shen Han, Bai Zijing wore a hint of guilt on her face.

"Young Master Shen, I’m sorry to you..."

In her view, regardless of the plan’s success or failure.

Shen Han was doomed.

This apology had been pent up in her heart for a long time.

Bai Zijing, at this moment, still hadn’t realized the truth.

Upon hearing her speak, Shen Han couldn’t help but look her way.

"Yes, you should indeed apologize.

People like you, ungrateful and treacherous, are indeed rare."

Shen Han spoke directly, not hiding his disgust for her.

But upon hearing this, Bai Zijing instead raised her head high.

"A general’s success is built on countless bones; even if I had another chance, I’d make the same choice.

Sacrificing you, Young Master Shen, for immeasurable gains.

Although the scheme failed this time, I, Bai Zijing, have no regrets."

Shen Han snorted lightly, unwilling to waste words on her.

He took two steps forward, approaching the Jin Mansion Master of Tongzi Prefecture.

With a single thought, the Sword Shadow pinning him vanished.

"You must want revenge, right?

I’ll give you the chance; whatever you have, direct it at me.

To spare you people from venting your frustrations on common folk."

As he spoke, Shen Han waved his hand lightly, completely destroying the Jin Mansion Master’s prowess.

At that moment, blood gushed from his mouth.

"I’ll give you three days; I’ll be waiting for you here."

Having lost all his power, the Jin Mansion Master glared with hatred in his eyes.

Releasing a tiger back to the mountain is a major taboo.

But Shen Han just did it.

After confirming that Shen Han let him go, the Jin Mansion Master fled with his severely wounded body.

As for his wife, he didn’t even consider collecting her body.

"Venerable, he is the son-in-law of the Treasure Moon Palace..."

"Oh? Is there a problem?"

Shen Han calmly retorted, and the crowd around trembled even more in their hearts upon hearing this.

Daring to let the Jin Mansion Master go back and report, could it be that even the Treasure Moon Palace isn’t taken seriously?

Those present looked at Shen Han, their fear in their eyes greater than before...

For Lingxiu Country, the Treasure Moon Palace is overwhelmingly powerful.

Each of the twelve guardians of the Treasure Moon Palace has the strength of the Lingxiu National Preceptor.

And above the guardians is the immensely powerful Palace Master.

For other sects, the Treasure Moon Palace is an entity they dare not provoke.

But for Shen Han, it seemed to be of no concern.

The crowd didn’t know whether it was the ignorance of the fearless, or if Shen Han was truly as strong as an Immortal God.

However, right now, no one dared to raise their head in front of Shen Han any longer.

Before long, the Eldest Prince, with some excitement on his face, walked over to Shen Han.

"Venerable, I saw this mark once a few years ago at the sect of the River Mountain Sect."

Upon hearing this, Shen Han also became more serious.

"Are you sure?"

"It has been several years, and I only have a vague impression.

But it seems to be this mark.

I will immediately send someone to verify it, so there’s no need for you to waste time going."

The Eldest Prince spoke respectfully, having even considered the solution in advance.

Not far away, Bai Zijing, watching this scene, widened her eyes.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Your Highness, why do you..."

She didn’t understand why the Eldest Prince would speak to Shen Han with such an attitude.

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Prince just glanced at her without responding.

Shen Han also ignored her.

Hearing the Eldest Prince’s words, Shen Han nodded.

"You seem to understand the situation well."

"Serving under you, Venerable, is my honor."

Shen Han looked up at the Eldest Prince; he didn’t need anyone’s loyalty, just people to help him do things.

This world, to him, was merely a passage.

Thinking this way, Shen Han didn’t bother to worry whether this Eldest Prince was sincerely submitting.

He took a step forward, walking up to the Sovereign of Lingxiu Country.

"From today, you will abdicate.

The position of the Sovereign of Lingxiu Country will be passed on to your Eldest Prince, any questions?"

Shen Han spoke softly, and around him, it was silent.

No one echoed, yet no one dared to oppose.

After waiting for a moment, Shen Han turned to look at the Eldest Prince.

"It seems the Old Monarch is not very willing to pass the position of the Sovereign to you, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Prince directly knelt before Shen Han.

"Your words are above everything, Venerable. Since you say I should be the Sovereign, naturally, I am the Sovereign."

Shen Han nodded: "Very well, I will first erase their powers.

Afterward, handling it will be up to you."

As he finished speaking, Shen Han turned his gaze to the Third Prince.

With just a glance, the Third Prince began to spit blood.

And the Sovereign of Lingxiu Country, with just a wave of his hand, started crying blood continuously, just like his third son.

If one’s strength hasn’t reached the Immortal Realm, the gap would be very apparent.

Around Fourth Grade strength, there’s absolutely no resistance in front of Shen Han.

The Old Monarch, with his strength destroyed, suddenly gained some courage.

Previously, he was concerned for his life, but now, his courage rose.

"On the day the people of Treasure Moon Palace arrive, you will not live. Don’t be arrogant..."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Han didn’t refute them.

He merely let the Eldest Prince handle these troublesome matters and get results on his matters as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Prince stepped forward, helping his father.

Seemingly holding him up, he was actually dragging him away.

The Sovereign of Lingxiu Country, with a vicious look in his eyes, glanced at Shen Han and then at his son.

"When the Treasure Moon Palace comes, you won’t survive either!"

This made the face of the Eldest Prince change slightly.

But at this moment, Shen Han interjected: "Let’s talk about it when they come. Today before I acted, you all thought I wouldn’t survive either."

As he spoke, Shen Han pointed to the courtyard.

"This place is for my temporary stay, clean up this courtyard."

After speaking, a group immediately began to sensibly tidy up.

The already dead Lady of the Tongzi Prefecture Mansion was also dragged away.

It seemed like a lot of work, but it was cleared up in no time.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zijing was utterly stunned.

With a wave of Shen Han’s hand, the power of the Sovereign of Lingxiu Country was obliterated.

That was the Sovereign of Lingxiu Country...

She seemed to only now slowly come to her senses.

Shen Han didn’t excel at concealment, but his strength far surpassed others.

Others could hardly discover Shen Han...

Originally, she could have obtained a tremendous opportunity.

But now, whether she could keep her life was uncertain.

Look at her Young Master, that Third Prince.

Years of cultivated strength, directly destroyed.

The Eldest Prince might eliminate future troubles...
