As Han Mingye unleashed his full power, his spiritual might surged forth. Without even making a move, the overwhelming spiritual might sent Wang Yangshan flying backward, crashing heavily onto the array barrier, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Han Mingye hadn't even made a move yet; he had only unleashed his full spiritual power, and it was already so formidable.
With just his spiritual power, he simply mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and sent a peak Purple Mansion stage expert flying.
The power of a Golden Core cultivator is terrifying.
Han Mingye raised his hand, as if gathering boundless spiritual energy upon it. In just a moment, he gathered an incredibly powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.
However, just as Han Mingye was about to suppress the formation and let Han Hai enter it to kill Lin Xiuyuan.
An even more terrifying aura of a Golden Core cultivator suddenly descended.
It directly blocked the aura of Han Mingye and Han Hai, two Golden Core cultivators.
They were evenly matched against two opponents.
Then a streak of light appeared before them in the blink of an eye.
As the light faded, a withered old man appeared, dressed in a gray robe, looking like an ordinary old man. His aura was faint and ethereal, like a candle flame flickering in the wind.
However, the spiritual energy emanating from him was exceptionally powerful, pressing back and directly resisting the auras of the two Golden Core cultivators in front of him.
Although he only managed a weak resistance, his ability to fight two opponents at once was truly remarkable!
At this time.
Lin Xiuyuan, who was in the cave, also felt the fluctuations of the Golden Core cultivator's energy at this moment.
This made Lin Xiuyuan's anxiety lessen somewhat.
"Very well, I just hope everything goes smoothly from now on... Sigh, the Han family!!"
A glint flashed in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes, and he sighed and murmured.
However, soon after, the aura of a fourth Golden Core cultivator appeared...
This brought a touch of relief to Lin Xiuyuan's solemn face, and the unease in his heart dissipated.
"How dare you attack one of our sect's stewards without even asking what happened? You deserve to die!"
A chilling glint flashed in the eyes of the Zhou family patriarch, along with a surge of murderous intent, but it vanished slowly after a moment.
"It's you? You old codger, you can still come out and walk around!"
When Han Mingye and Han Hai saw the newcomer, a hint of apprehension flashed in their eyes. The former snorted coldly and spoke without any politeness.
Han Hai's expression turned slightly cold as he calmly said from the side, "You're getting old, and your mind isn't quite right anymore. The Second Elder is apprehending a wanted criminal, and it's you who's obstructing us without any regard for the facts. Get out of the way immediately, or you'll be hindering the Enforcement Hall's actions."
"Heh, who's the wanted criminal? Or is Steward Wang some kind of wanted criminal? Has the Enforcement Hall issued any arrest warrants recently? How come I didn't know?!"
"You think you can represent the Enforcement Hall? Ridiculous! Shouldn't we hold a meeting and go to the Elders' Council to have this discussed?"
The Zhou family patriarch stood with his hands behind his back, a cold smile on his face. The smile quickly vanished, replaced by an even colder expression. The spiritual energy emanating from him surged even more violently and turbulently. He then spoke:
"Furthermore... if I don't move aside, what can you do?"
"As a law enforcement patrol officer, I have the power to make decisions. Do you have the right to question me?"
Han Mingye said something, emphasizing the obvious excuse.
There is a very important excuse for doing this, after all, they are in the sect.
Then, Han Mingye grinned, his smile chilling and filled with murderous intent, and said coldly, "What can we do? Do you think it's like back then? Now your energy is weak and your time is coming to an end."
"How much of his cultivation can he actually utilize?"
"Do you think you can stop me now?"
Han Mingye pondered the matter, and after much deliberation, he felt that there was still a chance to take action.
The Zhou family patriarch is nearing the end of his life. Although his cultivation level is slightly higher, he is so old and frail that he can no longer exert much fighting power.
The longer this matter is delayed, the less chance there will be.
Lin Xiuyuan, if not killed, will surely become a major threat!
Han Mingye saw it very clearly: with a prodigy like Lin Xiuyuan, it wouldn't be enough for the Zhou family patriarch to intervene...
Han Mingye's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he prepared to send a telepathic message to Han Hai, intending to make a move.
If successful, it will resolve a major concern.
If that doesn't work, we can at least probe the condition of the Zhou family patriarch, to see if he's like a candle in the wind, flickering and about to go out, or if he still has a breath left and can hold on for a little longer...
But just as Han Mingye had this thought, another streak of light descended from the horizon.
"Hehe, you are all fellow disciples, why do you all look so tense?"
A thin, kind-faced middle-aged man said with a smile.
Immediately, he seemed to notice Wang Yangshan's injuries, and his smile vanished, replaced by a slightly gloomy expression. He said, "I wonder how my uncle has offended you all? In the sect, to act like this, isn't it a bit too much?"
In an instant, his aura faintly connected with that of the Zhou family patriarch, and he began to contend with the two Golden Core cultivators of the Han family.
Although his aura doesn't seem strong, it's only relative. While he's weaker than Zhou Clan Ancestor and Han Mingye, he's stronger than Han Hai!
Combined with the energy of the Zhou family patriarch, this directly created a situation of overwhelming pressure.
Such words and such posture make their stance quite clear.
However, it was also quite clear that the fourth Golden Core cultivator from the Wang family who arrived did not want to escalate the conflict, but rather wanted to quell the situation.
As if just passing by, he made a special trip to ease the tense atmosphere, only to seem to notice that Wang Yangshan had been drawn into the matter and had no choice but to step in...
Although they could see that this Golden Core cultivator was expressing the Wang family's intention not to stand against the Han family, this sudden turn of events caused the opportunity to slip away.
Han Mingye's expression darkened, and he had no choice but to suppress his impulse. He glanced coldly at Wang Xinglang before his gaze turned gloomy and focused on the Zhou family patriarch.
"Are you determined to obstruct the actions of my Deacon's Hall today?"
"Alright, I'll be frank then. Han Chenhua, the prodigy of the Cloud Realm, has disappeared without a trace in the secret realm, and this is closely related to Junior Nephew Wang's disciple. We need to take him back for investigation and find out the reason."
"Even if this matter were brought before the Council of Elders, it should be investigated. At most, you can only hinder me temporarily; ultimately, you cannot stop it!"
Han Mingye and Han Hai looked grim, knowing that they would likely not be able to take Lin Xiuyuan away today, and that they had almost missed their chance to kill him.
But there's still a slim chance!
At this point, Han Mingye had no choice but to bring the matter to the forefront and have the Elders' Council discuss and make a decision.
In this way, although they can forcibly target Lin Xiuyuan, the matter has already been brought to the forefront, making it difficult to pull any tricks.
But at least, they can still wait for an opportunity to act.
After all, two Golden Core cultivators have stepped in, so this is the only way to do it!
Otherwise, returning defeated and releasing a tiger back into the mountains would be even worse!
