Chapter 28

Han Yu rubbed his hands, summoned the Green Lotus Immortal Sword, transformed into a streak of sword light, and flew toward the city outside the mountains of the Youxian Sect.

After having fun down the mountain for a while, in addition to drinking and enjoying the dancing, Han Yu would occasionally cast the Wind Listening Technique to listen to the anecdotes circulating among the common people.

He would also cast the "Bright Eye Technique," lean against the window, and look at the scenery.

Han Yu liked this kind of life very much; it was leisurely and relaxed enough. Compared to the busy and anxious life of a beast of burden in his previous life, this was now a paradise on earth.

"Hey, have you heard? The neighboring Chihuo Dynasty is in chaos. I heard they are fighting a war recently, and many people have died!"

"Yeah, I know. It seems to be because the newly ascended King started a massacre and took action against several families. One of them is the famous Zhao family. They have been loyal for generations, yet they were framed as traitors. Some cultivators of the Zhao family couldn't bear it, so they simply rose up in rebellion."

"I've been to the Chihuo Dynasty. These few Kings are not good things. All kinds of harsh taxes are so numerous that it makes one's scalp tingle. They don't treat us ordinary people and bottom-level cultivators as human beings at all!"

"Hi, don't even mention the Chihuo Dynasty; other dynasties are the same. Even that Dayan Imperial Family is about the same. None of them treat the bottom-level people as human beings. Fortunately, we are directly under the Youxian Sect here, and there are no miscellaneous taxes!"

"Hehehe, the Youxian Sect is a major sect; they don't look down on our little bit of money. However, many people have fled here over the years, and they have all been accepted by the Youxian Sect. The Dayan Imperial Family is very dissatisfied. I don't know if they will take action against the Youxian Sect. I don't want to fight a war!"

People were discussing it, but Han Yu narrowed his eyes. After hearing more details, his thoughts couldn't help but fly.

"The Zhao family, is that Zhao Hongying's family? That girl seems to have quite a connection with Junior Sister!"

Han Yu was a bit curious. After returning to the Youxian Sect, he simply went to Tianjian Peak to request some intelligence.

Han Yu is the Senior Brother of Tianjian Peak. Now that Peak Master Mu Bingyao is away, he has the Peak Master's authority after acting on her behalf.

Therefore, he could freely access intelligence with most levels of authorization.

"Junior Uncle Han, this is the relevant intelligence you requested. You can take it away and read it slowly."

A Tianjian Peak disciple respectfully handed a stack of books to Han Yu. Han Yu nodded and thanked him with a smile.

The disciple was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly to show he didn't dare.

Han Yu didn't stand on ceremony anymore, put the books into his storage ring, and returned to Tianjian Peak to read them carefully.

This recorded the relationship between the Chihuo Dynasty's Zhao family and the royal family, as well as the various entanglements between the Dayan Imperial Family and the Chihuo Dynasty.

After Han Yu finished reading, his heart suddenly sank.

"It seems the grudge between Junior Sister and the Dayan Imperial Family is even deeper than I imagined. Forget it, after she comes out of seclusion, let's see how she chooses."

Han Yu was too lazy to pay attention to these things anymore. If it weren't for Ji Yanling, he wouldn't care about the grievances between these dynasties at all.

Junior Sister is his treasure; he must protect her well.

Now it seems that the Dayan Imperial Family still hasn't given up on Ji Yanling, just changed the method.

As long as the other party doesn't come to provoke him, Han Yu is actually too lazy to entangle with them.

But if something happens to Ji Yanling, he certainly cannot sit idly by.

"Wait for Junior Sister to come out of seclusion."

Time passed like a white horse passing a crack; in a flash, another two and a half months passed.

During this period, Han Yu still played when he wanted to play, ate when he wanted to eat, and drank when he wanted to drink, living a free and loose life.

As for Ji Yanling, she practiced hard day and night, easily breaking through to the ninth level of the Core Condensation Realm. The next step is to polish her Fire Phoenix Golden Core until she enters the Extreme Realm of Core Condensation.

And as Han Yu lay there, he received several pieces of feedback from the system.

【Ding! Detected that investment target Ji Yanling has reached the ninth level of the Core Condensation Realm, target favorability 94%, current status "Like", ten-thousand-fold return has been activated.】

【Ding! Endless Core Condensation power is surging in your body. Your natal Golden Core has undergone thousands of refinements and has completed 666 refinements. Your Golden Core power is incomparably pure. If you activate self-detonation, it is enough to easily kill an Emperor!】

Seeing the system's introduction, the corners of Han Yu's mouth twitched wildly.

Why the hell would I self-detonate for no reason?

Relying on his body refining cultivation, plus the Qi refining cultivation that has undergone countless polishings, even if he faces an Emperor, he is not afraid at all. Only a fool would self-detonate.

Han Yu thought there would only be cultivation feedback, but he didn't expect the system to send another report of success.

【Ding! You have triggered a special return and obtained one extraction opportunity. Please choose the extraction type: Martial Skill, Spirit Technique, Divine Weapon, Immortal Treasure...】

"Oh? Another special return. For martial skills, I have the Blood Demon Heaven-Shaking Fist; for spirit techniques, I have the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin; for immortal treasures, I have the Green Lotus Immortal Sword and the Universe Gourd. Then let's have a Divine Weapon?"

Han Yu knew that Divine Weapons are weapons for body cultivators, and Immortal Treasures are weapons for Qi cultivators.

Body refining becomes a god, Qi refining becomes an immortal.

He is currently missing a Divine Weapon. With a Divine Weapon, just relying on his body refining cultivation, he could probably easily kill an Emperor.

【Ding! Extracting Divine Weapon for you...】

【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Divine Weapon "Chaos Demon God Halberd", Quality: God Grade Top Tier!】

【Introduction: The Chaos Demon God opened the heavens and earth, the giant axe slashed through the chaos energy, the divine axe scattered and fell into ten thousand worlds, one of which transformed into the Demon God Halberd!】

A magnificent Divine Weapon appeared in the system space, looking ancient and mysterious. The long handle was engraved with countless ancient fierce beasts, exuding a heavy aura.

"Not bad, a weapon for wide-open attacks, very suitable for body cultivators, I like it!"

Han Yu grinned, very satisfied with this Divine Weapon.

A weapon like a great halberd, except for body cultivators, no other cultivator can control it.

Han Yu couldn't wait to practice in actual combat and test the power of this Divine Weapon.

Just as he was worried about having no test subject, Ji Yanling came out of seclusion and also proposed that she wanted to go out for some training.

She had been practicing spiritual power hard recently and had broken through too quickly; she needed time to settle down.

Han Yu certainly wouldn't stop her, taking Ji Yanling to Tianzhan Peak, where one can receive missions for fighting outside.

This kind of mission reward is particularly generous, usually going to some place to kill demon beasts.

Ji Yanling glanced at it and locked onto a mission.

"Hunt down the flower-picking thief Ji Bochang, reward one million low-grade Spirit Stones, and a bottle of sixth-rank Fire Soul Pill. This mission is not bad, I'll take it!"

Ji Yanling didn't hesitate and took this mission.

Many disciples saw that Ji Yanling dared to take this mission and looked at her more.

Although this mission has generous rewards, the difficulty is also very high. That Ji Bochang is a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator, and most disciples do not have the strength to dare to provoke him.

However, when everyone saw that the person standing beside her was Han Yu, they understood in a second.

This is the super prodigy who killed a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator at the Immortal Platform Realm; this kind of mission is not a problem at all.

Looking at the mission Ji Yanling took, the corners of Han Yu's mouth curled up slightly.

"Junior Sister, you took this mission, it wouldn't be just because the reward is relatively high, right?"

Ji Yanling paused for a moment, smiled, and said: "I saw that this flower-picking thief had appeared in the Chihuo Dynasty recently, and I wanted to go see Zhao Hongying by the way. She is a good person."

Han Yu nodded and touched Ji Yanling's head.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother will protect you."

Ji Yanling showed a bright smile, and the two of them transferred to take the spiritual power flying boats of various merchant associations, heading toward the Chihuo Dynasty.

Not long after they left, letters were sent back to Yan Jing City.

Inside the imperial palace.

Dayan Imperial Family Emperor Ji Huamao saw the letter and showed a smile.

"Waited for you for so long, finally went out. This Emperor wants to see if this trick played by the Youxian Sect is true or false!"

"If it's false, daring to kill my son Ji Huamao, I must make you pay the price!"
