Chapter 63: Tianyin Laoren Breaks Through

Sound Valley.

"Heavenly Venerable, you truly are as wise as a god; Tianyin Laoren has indeed gone to Langya Pavilion."

Yin Xian, the Second Elder of Sound Valley whom Tianyin Laoren hated to the bone, was currently flattering the Great Heavenly Venerable of Soul Hall.

"Very good." The Great Heavenly Venerable was in an extremely pleasant mood; the progress of events was exactly as he had anticipated.

"Now it just depends on whether that Tianyin Laoren has the ability to invite the Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion out."

The Great Heavenly Venerable was not worried about his scheme being seen through; this was an open plot.

Even if he knew that he was being lured out, what could the Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion do? Sound Valley was on the verge of destruction, and as long as Langya Pavilion did not want to chill the heart of this life-and-death ally, he could not afford not to come.

As long as he comes, hehe...

The Great Heavenly Venerable gave a ghostly smile.

With such foolproof preparations, he did not believe he would lose.

If he could be defeated by that one-star Dou Sheng junior even under these circumstances, even if the Hall Master did not hold him accountable, he would have no face to live in this world.

After receiving the sound transmission from Xiao Han, Yi Huang quickly arrived at Xiao Han's room. She handed a deep cyan jade bottle to Tianyin Laoren, who received it in a flustered manner.

Tianyin Laoren held the jade bottle with trembling hands.

"Can this really help me break through to Dou Sheng?" Perhaps feeling it was somewhat unreal, Tianyin Laoren asked again, his voice trembling.

"Naturally, I guarantee you will break through!" Xiao Han laughed.

"You can break through before leaving. This will also increase your chances of success." To put Tianyin Laoren at ease, Xiao Han offered his suggestion.

After all, the target of Soul Hall was very likely him, the Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion; as long as Xiao Han did not show his face, Sound Valley would not be in any immediate danger.

Breaking through to Dou Sheng would also happen to relieve a heavy burden on Tianyin Laoren's mind, even if Xiao Han did not need his help.

"That is also fine, then many thanks."

Tianyin Laoren had exactly that intention; he was already somewhat impatient. The Saint Realm! He could finally become a Dou Sheng, instead of this damn Advanced Half-Saint!

After Tianyin Laoren left to go to the Cultivation Secret Realm of Langya Pavilion to break through to Dou Sheng, Yi Huang asked with a frown:

"Why did you give Tianyin Laoren an Entry-to-Saint Pill? Are you not afraid of the news leaking out?"

One must know, the secret of the Entry-to-Saint Pill had been kept tightly by the three of them, yet it was just given away like that...

It was just that, since Tianyin Laoren was present earlier, Yi Huang did not want to slight Xiao Han, and she believed Xiao Han was not a reckless person.

"Rest assured, this old man is very clear-headed." Xiao Han, however, was unconcerned; those who eat others' food are soft-mouthed, and those who take others' gifts are short-handed.

Faced with the temptation of breaking through to Dou Sheng, Tianyin Laoren would not be so unable to see the situation clearly.

In fact, Tianyin Laoren was just as Xiao Han thought, deciding to take this secret to his grave.

He had never heard of a Medicinal Pill that could allow someone to break through to Dou Sheng in his entire life.

Even the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree, which could allow one to become a Saint on the spot, only gave others a vague and ethereal chance to become a Saint; how could it have such an immediate effect?

Such a secret was actually told to him by Xiao Han just like that; what a great trust this was!

Naturally, he was not some ungrateful wretch; since the other party helped him solve his heart's pain and even wanted to help Sound Valley deal with Soul Hall.

Great kindness needs no thanks; from now on, Sound Valley would be the firmest ally of Langya Pavilion.

As for how he broke through to Dou Sheng? Could it be difficult for a Dou Sheng powerhouse like the Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion to help an Advanced Half-Saint break through?

Tianyin Laoren indicated it was not difficult at all; it was not difficult at all.

A month later, Xiao Han looked at Tianyin Laoren, who was radiating an obscure fluctuation and had a face full of joy, and could not help but smile.

"How is it? The feeling of breaking through to Dou Sheng is not bad, right?"

"Many thanks, Pavilion Master Su. In the future, whenever Langya Pavilion has a need, just give this old man a word, and I will absolutely be duty-bound!"

Tianyin Laoren cupped his hands and bowed, saying quite solemnly; the grace of helping him attain the Dao was worth repaying with his life.

"Call me Xiao Han from now on!"

Since Tianyin Laoren was already in their camp, naturally he could no longer be kept in the dark.

Xiao Han still had a relatively good understanding of his character.

Moreover, now that Langya Pavilion's wings were gradually becoming full, he was not too worried about his identity being leaked; no one could be certain he was a Xiao Clan Member, and even if they were certain, so what?

Now his own strength was sufficient for self-preservation, unless the Soul Clan was willing to expose their hidden power.

"Xiao Han? Is this your real name?" Tianyin Laoren was stunned, his whole person calming down from the joy of breaking through to Dou Sheng.

Tianyin Laoren was also a person who had lived for several hundred years; suddenly learning that Xiao Han had been hiding his identity until he reached Dou Sheng.

Naturally, he deduced his identity very easily, his tone full of surprise.

"Are you a Descendant of the Xiao Clan?"

Regarding that earth-shattering battle between the Xiao Clan and the Soul Clan in the past, all forces in the Central Plains with a relatively long history had records.

It was just unexpected that, after a thousand years, the Xiao Clan, whose bloodline had been abandoned and had disappeared without a trace, had actually given birth to such a heaven-defying descendant.

Xiao Han smiled and said nothing to Tianyin Laoren's words.

"Then it seems this old man is really going to be dragged into the water by you, kid."

Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Tianyin Laoren, a shrewd person, naturally understood the significance of Xiao Han revealing his true identity to him. This was treating him as a true ally.

And whether it was helping him break through to Dou Sheng or saving Sound Valley from fire and water, these were the costs, or rather the benefits, of him becoming an ally of Langya Pavilion.

But conversely, if he dared to leak the secrets of Langya Pavilion...

Tianyin Laoren knew the consequences clearly; the other party was fully capable of wiping out him and Sound Valley before they died, and this fellow Xiao Han might not even die!

For a moment, Tianyin Laoren felt somewhat restless and uneasy in his heart.

However, in the end, Tianyin Laoren thought it through; why bother? The other party had not treated him and Sound Valley poorly, and when traveling the continent, the more friends, the better.

Moreover, an ally like Langya Pavilion, who was both affectionate and righteous and had strength, was hard to find even with a lantern!

He was senile and pushing his friends away!

"How many people in your Langya Pavilion know your true identity?"

Once Tianyin Laoren had thought it through, he naturally had a clear impression of this Xiao Han who was well-versed in the way of lying low.

Just how cautious must a person be to endure until reaching Dou Sheng without revealing their identity!

"Only Huang'er, Lao Ye, and a few founding elders know."

Since the two had already been frank with each other, Xiao Han would not hide anything; after all, he had plenty of backup plans.

Hiss—

Tianyin Laoren took another deep breath; so cautious, far too cautious!

You really are something! Tianyin Laoren could not help but give Xiao Han a thumbs-up in his heart.

As expected, a fellow who could cultivate to Dou Sheng could not be judged by conventional logic.

However, that was a digression, and Tianyin Laoren quickly remembered the main business. Forget about the matter of Xiao Han's identity; if Sound Valley could not be preserved this time, everything else was just empty talk.

Suddenly, his advancement to Dou Sheng no longer felt so sweet.

But after a short while, Tianyin Laoren regained his confidence; this fellow was so cautious, yet he dared to make such bold claims, clearly having the strength to back them up.

Although he was very curious, Tianyin Laoren did not continue to ask; he had already been shocked enough for today.

After pondering for a moment, Tianyin Laoren spoke: "Pavilion Master Xiao, when shall we set out?"
