Chapter 768: Chapter 719: Just Rest Assured

Just as she was about to turn and leave, an old man with a long beard appeared behind her, holding a duster in his hand.

"Every time you come, it’s always to ask this poor Taoist to leave the mountain to kill someone.

Can’t there be a time when you just come to see this poor Taoist and have a cup of tea with him?"

The white-bearded old man in front of her spoke with a hint of complaint in his words.

From the tone of their conversation, it seemed that their relationship was somewhat unusual.

"Help me this time, and I can drink tea with you for a year, no problem for once."

You Wanying quickly made a promise.

But this promise did not satisfy the Hui Taoist.

"Such benefits in exchange for help have long deviated from one’s true heart.

Being forced to drink tea would only make it taste bitter and astringent."

The Hui Taoist continued to speak, but upon hearing these words, You Wanying pursed her lips.

"Don’t say these rambling, strange things to me.

Just tell me whether you, the Hui Taoist, will help me or not. If you won’t help, I’ll leave right away."

Seeing You Wanying getting a bit anxious, the Hui Taoist could only sigh.

"Why did I have to get involved with you...

If I hadn’t met you, there would be much less on my mind to repent for."

Seeing that the Hui Taoist still didn’t give a direct answer, You Wanying pushed him aside and prepared to leave.

But the next moment, a duster held her back.

"When did this poor Taoist ever say I wouldn’t help..."

With that, his attitude softened immediately.

"Tell me, who do you want to take action against this time?

Considering your character and the temper of your Tiger Peak Manor, is it a strong adversary that makes you come to this poor Taoist for help?"

The Hui Taoist pulled the duster and brought You Wanying back.

Then with a slight raise of his hand, the wooden table and chairs floated down in front of them.

He poured two cups of clear tea from the teapot.

"Do you really know nothing about the outside world?

Ban Wu... that child is dead..."

You Wanying looked at the Hui Taoist, with what seemed to be hatred in her eyes.

It was as if she hated him for being unaware of these things.

"When did it happen?"

Upon hearing these words, the Hui Taoist was also taken aback.

"Yu Yan and Wu Ke, those two children are also dead."

You Wanying didn’t answer the Hui Taoist’s question and spoke again.

Three of her four direct disciples had already perished.

"Who is so ruthless to strike such a deadly blow?"

The previously nonchalant Hui Taoist now also showed a hint of anger, his brows furrowing.

"Do you still blame me for coming to you?"

"This poor Taoist only blames you for not coming to me sooner, allowing three children to fall victim to such cruelty, yet you could still remain calm until now.

Tell me, which power is so arrogant!"

The Hui Taoist’s mind had already targeted those major sects and some individual powerful loose cultivators.

But at this moment, You Wanying’s face showed even deeper resentment.

"Have you really not heard?

My Tiger Peak Manor encountered such a major upheaval, and your people from Chaomu Mountain know nothing of it?"

"In Chaomu Mountain, we only see the changing of the day; matters of the outside world, there’s no one here to convey them.

Besides, this poor Taoist doesn’t enjoy idle talk with others."

You Wanying was a bit helpless, but she also knew he wasn’t speaking falsely.

"That person is not from any big sect or prestigious family.

He’s a cultivator from a remote place, where they still cultivate using the old system.

It’s still body refining and refining the heart realm with the old methods..."

The Hui Taoist’s brows furrowed even more upon hearing this.

"A person who practices the old cultivation method, taking the lives of three children?"

The Hui Taoist’s face showed disbelief.

However, he knew very well that You Wanying would never fabricate lies about her precious disciples.

She wouldn’t falsely claim her disciples had perished.

"Previously, I had the same thought as you, just thinking how capable could someone from a remote place be?

Yu Yan was the first to die at his hands; at that time, I thought he resorted to conspiracy to take Yu Yan’s life.

Besides, Yu Yan’s strength was only at the peak of the Grotto Heaven Realm, not yet entering Rainbow-Devouring."

You Wanying stood up from her chair, reflecting on her previous foolish decisions.

"After Yu Yan’s death, I thought that Shen Han’s strength was at most at the peak of the Grotto Heaven Realm.

At the time, many people present saw it and said Yu Yan fell victim to a treasure in that person’s hand.

That Shen Han’s longsword was extremely poisonous, even Tiger Peak Manor struggled to withstand it.

Afterward, I sent Ban Wu to act as a guardian.

After all, I was worried about retaliation and the threat it might pose to others in the manor.

But it was unexpected that he didn’t lay a hand on the guards who served as bait; instead, he targeted Ban Wu.

That Shen Han was not merely at the Grotto Heaven Realm; he had long entered the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.

Ban Wu... that child also died under his poison sword..."

The Hui Taoist, upon hearing this, understood the depth of this hatred.

In fact, the Hui Taoist knew that this kind of grudge definitely had a starting point.

And this point of origin was likely caused by You Wanying and her people.

Tiger Peak Manor was always strong; not many sects on the Southern Heaven Continent dared to provoke them.

Let alone a cultivator from a remote place.

But it didn’t matter, the Hui Taoist didn’t care who was at fault.

Anyone who offended You Wanying, he would take action.

"So based on the information gathered now, this person’s strength is at the 4th to 5th layer of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm, and he holds a strange poison sword, right?"

Hearing this, You Wanying still shook her head.

"In fact, I suspect that his strength is beyond the 5th layer of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.

He might have already stepped into the 6th layer or even the 7th layer.

Previously, I attempted to attack him with my Poisonous Mist Incarnation, but he shattered my incarnation..."

"He shattered your incarnation?!"

At this moment, even the Hui Taoist showed astonishment on his face.

"A person who practices the old cultivation method could match your Poisonous Mist Incarnation?

And even shattered your incarnation?"

You Wanying nodded, pondering for a moment before speaking:

"Actually, I have some regrets too. If I hadn’t been so reckless back then, so many troubles wouldn’t have arisen.

But as things stand, this hatred, this vendetta must be avenged."

This was likely the first time You Wanying admitted her regret so openly before others.

The strength and intensity of Shen Han’s revenge indeed overwhelmed her.

In the past, others feared Tiger Peak Manor, but now, she began to feel fear too.

"Besides these, do you know if he has a sect? Any direct disciples?

Since he struck Ban Wu and the others mercilessly, we can cut off his lineage too.

Slaughter all his descendants."

"That Shen Han is not yet thirty; how could he have established his own sect, disciples surely don’t exist.

As for his sect and family, I destroyed them the first time I went there.

Now he has only a few people left by his side."

You Wanying’s explanation left the Hui Taoist momentarily stunned again.

Previously, upon hearing You Wanying’s words, he instinctively imagined Shen Han as someone of their age.

"That person is not yet thirty?"

Even though You Wanying felt uncomfortable in her heart, she still nodded.

"Being not yet thirty and yet able to break your Poisonous Mist Incarnation, this talent..."

The Hui Taoist’s expression also became much more serious.

"To deal with such a genius, it absolutely can’t be delayed; the longer we delay, the more variables there will be.

Given the strength he has already demonstrated now, I’m afraid he will be even more troublesome in the future.

Let’s make a firm decision, and we’ll start without delay from this moment."

Hearing this, You Wanying also showed determination and nodded.

"We’ve handled stronger enemies before, and this time, we can also overcome this difficulty."

With their resolve set, You Wanying began to outline the plan she had previously devised.

"Earlier, we received some information indicating that Shen Han’s close ones are still in that remote place, in a place called Wei Country.

Even though they’ve relocated, they’re still in that vicinity.

Moreover, I’ve heard that in Wei, people have begun selling Pills needed for the new system.

Ao’Er mentioned that among Shen Han’s close ones, there are quite a few Alchemists.

It’s not certain, but it’s a clue we can investigate further."

The Hui Taoist nodded.

"The three children’s tragic deaths sadden this poor Taoist as well; I will surely help avenge them.

You, just be at ease."
