Chapter 836

Jiang Han slowly rose, extended his right palm, and gently patted the Old Ancestor Refining Soul on the shoulder: "Why are you so flustered? We are all our own people; I would not do anything to you. Moreover, what does your subordinates' failure have to do with you?"

The Old Ancestor Refining Soul lowered his head, cold sweat streaming down his entire body: "Yes, you... you are right."

Jiang Han smiled: "Speak then; just what He Fangshensheng is that power, that it has left you all with nowhere to start..."

If the other party could resolve this matter, they naturally would not speak out, risking provoking his wrath.

Thinking thus, the matter suddenly became much more interesting.

After all, every top-tier demonic power had been personally swallowed up by his own hands.

Where did this small-to-medium power derive the strength to leave the Four Saints of the Demon Alliance at a loss?

Could it be...

The Moonlight Imperial Dynasty?

Jiang Han's eyes flickered; a guess instantly formed in his heart.

Just then, the Old Ancestor Refining Soul's voice sounded as well: "That power is named the Yin Corpse Sect, founded over nine hundred years ago by a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm; they specialize in the Dao of refining Yin corpse puppets and were once at the height of their power, but six hundred years ago, the Yin Corpse Sect's founding ancestor failed in their breakthrough, was injured by the Primordial Spirit Dao Tribulation, damaging their divine soul and true spirit, and died from the incurable wounds..."

"After this incident, the Yin Corpse Sect rapidly declined; up to the present, there are no Myriad Phenomena experts within the clan, only a sect master at the third level of the Sun Wheel Realm."

Jiang Han pondered aloud: "A mere Sun Wheel expert, and that is enough to make you all stop in your tracks?"

The Old Ancestor Refining Soul wore a strange expression, looking deeply at Jiang Han with an extremely complex gaze.

What did he mean by 'a mere Sun Wheel'?

Wasn't it precisely by relying on a Sun Wheel cultivation base that you beat us all up back then?

Jiang Han's expression remained unchanged, ignoring the grievance in the other's eyes.

Seeing this, the Old Ancestor Refining Soul first sighed, then slowly explained the reason: "If it were merely this Yin Corpse Sect, with our cultivation base, we would naturally have no fear; destroying them would be a matter of a single thought."

"However, although this sect's strength is weak, its background is extraordinary; secretly, it has long surrendered to the Evergreen Hall..."

The Evergreen Hall?

Jiang Han thought to himself that it was indeed so, and his expression grew solemn.

He had heard of this Hall's name before.

The Evergreen Hall, a newly risen Heaven-Man level power entrenched within the territory of the Moonlight Imperial Dynasty, its Hall Master possessing the strength of the first level of the Heaven-Man Realm.

Although founded only a few decades ago, the number of powerhouses within the Hall is surprisingly large.

Its entire path of rise has been utterly incredible.

Furthermore, every cultivator within the Hall wears a mask, hiding their identity, their origins unknown.

This Hall has always acted mysteriously, leaving no trace, yet it turns out to be connected to the Yin Corpse Sect...

Jiang Han vaguely felt that he was touching upon some enormous conspiracy.

Suddenly, the Old Ancestor Refining Soul's voice sounded again.

"Because multiple dispatches of manpower all ended in failure, I personally went to that Yin Corpse Sect yesterday, and within the Shanmen of that Yin Corpse Sect, I encountered a cultivator from the Evergreen Hall; the other party's cultivation base was terrifying, possessing a cultivation base of the first level of the Primordial Spirit Realm, so naturally I was no match."

"Fortunately, the other party seemed concerned about trouble and did not take my life; after heavily injuring me, they chose to stop and let me leave."

"At the moment of parting, he once said..."

Speaking to this point, the Old Ancestor Refining Soul's voice paused slightly.

He cautiously glanced at Jiang Han; seeing the other's expression was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger, and merely gesturing for him to continue speaking.

The Old Ancestor Refining Soul swallowed, forcing himself to calm down.

Then, with an expression of throwing caution to the wind, he mimicked that Evergreen Hall cultivator's tone and said:

"If your Demon Alliance knows what is good for you, do not interfere in this matter; the Yin Corpse Sect, you absolutely must not touch, nor do you have the qualification to touch!"

"Heh, if you truly wish to take a touch, I will personally go meet your so-called dog master, and while I am at it, break two dog legs to see just how hard the bones are, daring to bark so recklessly before my Evergreen Hall; of course, I also do not mind conveniently letting your worthless alliance vanish into smoke and scatter..."

At these words, the Old Ancestor Refining Soul was already drenched in sweat, extremely nervous!

He knew well just how domineering his own Alliance Master's character truly was.

Influenced by the Evergreen Hall cultivator's mocking words, there was no guarantee he would not act impulsively.

However, contrary to his expectations, Jiang Han did not fly into a rage.

Even quite the opposite, he maintained an unprecedented calm.

Under the Old Ancestor Refining Soul's gaze, Jiang Han first fell silent for over ten breaths, then laughed: "Threatening me? Interesting..."

"It has been a long time since anyone threatened me like this; let me think, the last person who threatened me like this seems to have long since been lit as a heavenly lantern by me, yes?"

The Old Ancestor Refining Soul was startled with horror.

He subconsciously wanted to say something.

But Jiang Han raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I know the worries in your heart, and I also know that with our current strength and foundation, we are still far from being able to contend with the Evergreen Hall; for the sake of stability, let us set this matter aside for now..."

The Old Ancestor Refining Soul's expression eased, and a sigh of relief immediately arose in his heart.

If they could avoid conflict with the Evergreen Hall, that would naturally be best.

After all, the Evergreen Hall has many powerhouses; merely dispatching a single Primordial Spirit expert at random would be enough to destroy the entire Demon Alliance.

Unless absolutely necessary, it is better not to provoke them.

But the next moment, as Jiang Han's voice sounded, the heart of the Old Ancestor Refining Soul, which had just settled, was suddenly yanked up again!

"However, although the reasoning is sound, that fellow indeed made me feel slightly displeased..."

"But I still need time, so let him be arrogant for one last year."

"After one year, I will personally lead the Demon Alliance to step foot in Moonlight and meet with this Evergreen Hall."

"At that time, I want to see whether it is my Demon Alliance that vanishes into smoke and scatters, or this Evergreen Hall that vanishes into smoke and scatters!"

As soon as the words fell, a domineering intent full of confidence immediately surged forth!
