Chapter 27: Liu Ruyan's guess, does Han Yu really have a big background?
Ji Yanling also saw that the surrounding disciples were not right, but she didn't perform the Wind Listening Technique, so she didn't know what those people were talking about.
However, looking at the expressions of these people, it seemed they were discussing her Senior Brother.
"Could it be that these people know Senior Brother's cultivation? Hmm, it should be like this. This Youxian Sect at least has an Emperor sitting in town, so Senior Brother's cultivation can't be hidden."
While Ji Yanling was thinking, Han Yu was also thinking.
"According to common sense, even if the matter that day couldn't be hidden, it wouldn't be so noisy, right? Behind this, there must be someone pushing it."
Han Yu narrowed his eyes and had figured out the reason.
"It seems the sect wants to create a mysterious background for me to deter all kinds of villains!"
"This is not a bad idea, I just don't know if it can bluff those people."
Han Yu knew very well that major sects fighting over geniuses was a common occurrence.
He displayed combat power that day, and anyone could see his extraordinary talent. Without the blessing of a strong physique, it was absolutely impossible to kill an enemy two levels above him.
Although Han Yu didn't stimulate the Wine Sword Immortal Body that day, those Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouses couldn't withstand the power of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, but others didn't know that. They only thought Han Yu possessed a powerful physique.
For a genius with such extraordinary talent, if there was no strong enough background to support him, it would definitely cause battles among various forces.
No one wanted a threat to their own status to appear in their own range in the future.
Either take him for their own use, or strangle him in the cradle. Apart from this, there was no other ending.
A Saint Body genius could definitely be kept by the Youxian Sect, but an Immortal Body genius was not something the Youxian Sect could control.
After figuring out these joints, Han Yu understood why someone was spreading rumors for him. This must be the masterpiece of Tianji Peak.
"Although this kind of fanfare makes it seem a bit like 'there is no silver three hundred taels here', if someone really has ulterior motives toward me, they wouldn't dare to gamble. Once they gamble wrong, they simply can't afford to lose."
After figuring it out, Han Yu didn't dwell on it anymore, leading Ji Yanling to exchange for many cultivation resources at Tianbao Peak, costing him tens of millions of Spirit Stones.
Han Yu didn't feel distressed at all. Anyway, these Spirit Stones were all snatched. However, this extravagant appearance, in the eyes of other disciples, confirmed those rumors.
"My god, tens of millions of Spirit Stones spent just like that? Even the Peak Masters of each lineage aren't this arrogant, right? Truly worthy of being a genius from a big family in the Shangzhou, awesome!"
"Wuwuwu, I'm really envious of Uncle-Master Han's Junior Sister, being able to have such a generous Senior Brother. That's tens of millions of Spirit Stones, enough to cultivate to the Primordial Spirit Realm if spent slowly!"
"I'm also envious to death. Eh, if only I could join Tianjian Peak, but unfortunately, Uncle-Master Han said that Tianjian Peak is not recruiting people for the time being, sigh..."
A group of disciples discussed, especially those female disciples, whose gazes toward Han Yu were full of heat. If it weren't for Han Yu's seniority as an Uncle-Master, they would have probably been unable to hold back and would have definitely recommended themselves to be Han Yu's Daoist companion.
Seeing the gazes of those female disciples, Ji Yanling was very dissatisfied. However, for Han Yu's generosity, Ji Yanling was both moved and a bit guilty.
She possessed a Saint Body and did cultivate very fast, but her consumption was far beyond ordinary people.
Especially since she had to polish her Extreme Realm at every realm, which consumed even more resources.
"If it weren't for Senior Brother's help, I absolutely couldn't have cultivated so fast. Sigh, this favor is owed more and more, I don't know how to repay it!"
"Forget it, don't think so much, just work hard on cultivation!" 【27-
After purchasing various resources, Han Yu took Ji Yanling and left, returning to Tianjian Peak to continue living his leisurely life.
Meanwhile, at the Youxian Sect, Zongzhu Peak.
Liu Ruyan was handling various affairs; she had been away from the sect for several years and had many things to sort through to ensure the sect would not encounter any developmental problems.
Being the Sect Master is not an easy task; the hundreds of thousands of people in the Youxian Sect all require his concern.
After finishing the miscellaneous tasks, Liu Ruyan stretched, revealing her perfect curves.
She beckoned with her hand, and her spiritual power lifted the intelligence regarding Han Yu; her beautiful eyes narrowed instantly.
"Where did this kid get so many Spirit Stones? Tens of millions—that is not a small amount."
"Could it be that the story I had Tianjian Peak make up for him has come true? Does this kid really have some mysterious background?"
The more Liu Ruyan thought about it, the more she felt something was off. Connecting the intelligence reports she had seen previously, a flash of insight suddenly struck her.
"Could the death of those people from the Dayan Imperial Family earlier have been the work of this kid?"
The more Liu Ruyan thought about it, the more possible it seemed. She recalled a matter she had handled previously regarding the deaths of several outer sect disciples, where their disciple tokens had gone missing.
However, the Tianzhan Peak, which manages the sect's grand array entry and exit records, had information of the other party's disciple tokens entering, and there were only records of entry, with no records of exit.
This kind of thing had happened twice recently. Tianji Peak suspected that someone had killed the outer sect disciples and then smuggled themselves into the sect's territory. Because of this, they had even imposed martial law for a period, but they found no traces of the enemy and could only let the matter drop.
These were just two insignificant little matters, but Liu Ruyan combined them with two other events and suddenly discovered the mystery.
That is, the Five Poisons Sect and the Qingshan Sect, two of the five major sects of Qingzhou, were destroyed; the timing of these events happened to be just about right.
Combining all the various events at Tianjian Peak during this period, in an instant, a thread of logic was deduced in Liu Ruyan's mind.
"It seems that the Dayan Imperial Family didn't just start setting their sights on Ji Yanling now, but had sent people to take action long ago, and these enemies were all neutralized by Han Yu without a trace!"
"And he even traced the source and destroyed both of those major sects!"
"This kid is interesting; he doesn't even wait overnight to take revenge!"
A beautiful arc appeared at the corners of Liu Ruyan's mouth, her delicate fingers pressed against her pretty chin, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.
"If that's the case, that mysterious body cultivator isn't working for the Sixth Prince, but is the handiwork of my good junior nephew!"
"No wonder, no wonder he acted so decisively; he doesn't move if he doesn't have to, but once he does, he kills and destroys the sect. Tsk tsk tsk..."
"I didn't expect that just preparing to throw out some smoke bombs to confuse those people and give myself some peace would actually hit the mark by accident."
After Liu Ruyan figured it out, she was even more curious about Han Yu.
She had been wondering why Han Yu's growth speed was so fast and his cultivation method so special; if there were a mysterious background, everything would be more reasonable.
"Junior sister, oh junior sister, I said that with your strength, how could you just find any disciple to fob me off? Interesting, it's truly too interesting!"
"Originally I was still thinking about how to deal with the probing of the Dayan Imperial Family; now it seems there is no need to worry."
Liu Ruyan glanced at the open document on the table, which recorded the recent movements of the Dayan Imperial Family.
The general content was that the Dayan Imperial Family was secretly supporting the Chihuo Dynasty's First Prince in ascending the throne and taking action against the Zhao Family General Mansion.
This Zhao family is the direct lineage force of Ji Yanling's biological mother, which has been seeking to bring Ji Yanling back to be the Queen of the Chihuo Dynasty.
Originally, the First Prince considered many things and would not have taken action against the Zhao family at all. Now, with the Dayan Imperial Family supporting him from behind, he had no hesitation at all; he simply surrounded them without attacking, waiting for Ji Yanling to come to the rescue.
After Liu Ruyan received this news, she immediately sealed it, not wanting it to reach the ears of Ji Yanling or Han Yu.
The Youxian Sect did not want to tear its face with the Dayan Imperial Family for the time being, nor did it want to let Ji Yanling fall into danger, but now Liu Ruyan felt there was no need for that.
She would directly lift the seal and let Han Yu know, to see how he would choose.
"Hehe, the Dayan Imperial Family, is it? You want to probe, don't you? This Emperor wants to see if you will end up playing with fire!"
In the following time, Han Yu continued to live his own little life, drinking and sleeping on Tianjian Peak.
However, after living the same life for too long, it became a bit boring. Han Yu suddenly thought that he hadn't gone down the mountain to play for a long time.
The reason he had stayed on Tianjian Peak during this period was not only out of concern for Ji Yanling's safety but also because he had gone out to destroy two sects and the First Prince's party; the killing was too much and he needed to slow down.
Han Yu did not have any psychological problems, but because he had killed too many people, it seemed that in the dark, some things were entangling him.
Han Yu knew that in this cultivation world, the concepts of merit and sin existed, and they were not just some ethereal things.
He felt that he must have become tainted with some karma; only by possessing an Immortal Grade top-tier physique could he perceive the existence of these things.
Furthermore, because he had killed so much, he had also become tainted with a lot of killing intent, baleful aura, resentment, and other negative things, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
The only thing to be thankful for was that drinking could alleviate these uncomfortable feelings, which is why Han Yu had been drinking and sleeping during this period.
Now that a few months had passed, these things had been mostly alleviated, and Han Yu was missing the courtesan young lady again.
"Junior sister's strength is now enough to protect herself; even if some petty people sneak in, they won't pose any threat to her."
"And now that the sect has the Senior Uncle sitting in charge, no one should dare to send people to sneak in like before."
"Since that's the case, then I'll go down the mountain. Nothing to do today, go to the brothel and listen to music!"
