"The pills are good, but they were made too cruelly. It would have been fine if they had just let him get into trouble, but in the end not only did they plunder all his pills, they also let him sneak into a dog hole. This grudge is quite serious." At this moment, an old man walked slowly down from the Holy Sword Peak, saying with a wry smile as he walked.
The old man's hair was as white as snow, but his face was as rosy as a baby's. He truly had white hair and a youthful face, making it hard to tell how old he was. He was wearing a simple, coarse linen shirt, but he naturally exuded a sense of detachment that seemed to see through the world.
"Junior greets senior." Seeing that the old man had an extraordinary demeanor and came down from the Holy Sword Peak, Zhuang Ping'an and others guessed that his background was not simple, and they hurriedly bowed to him.
"No need to be so polite. I am Jian Wuchen, and I have come to greet you all in the name of the Holy Lord." The old man waved his hand and said kindly.
"Thank you for your help, senior." Everyone said politely.
"You are Mu Hanyan, right?" Jian Wuchen didn't exchange too much greetings with them, but turned around and asked Mu Hanyan.
"I am Mu Hanyan," Mu Hanyan replied. Although Jian Wuchen had just said that her methods of dealing with Han Yutang were somewhat extreme, he clearly had no intention of scolding her. Instead, he showed a bit of the concern and helplessness of an elder towards a younger one. This made Mu Hanyan curious. Could he be acquainted with her elders? Thinking of this, her attitude became particularly respectful.
"I've heard of you, but after seeing you today, I know the rumors are true. You're so young, yet you have such strength and means. He was right about you." Jian Wuchen said with emotion.
"I was reckless. Actually, I was also..." Mu Hanyan said a little embarrassedly.
It sounded like he had a past with his elders, just as he had guessed. If he saw his tactics, he'd probably look just like those of the rich and powerful.
However, Mu Hanyan was actually somewhat helpless. If she wanted to make these arrogant guardian gods submit to her, she had to use some means. Han Yutang just happened to come to her at this time, and he was so arrogant and domineering. Mu Hanyan herself felt it would be unreasonable not to use him to establish her authority.
What's more, Mu Hanyan has seen too many examples of people who failed to kill the tiger but were injured by it. She either didn't take action, or if she did, she would not show mercy. At the very least, she had to let Han Yutang see how powerful she was so that he would not easily harbor the desire for revenge.
"I understand your difficulties. You're not to blame for this. Han Yutang has been arrogant since he was young, relying on the influence of his ancestors and the support of Ao Fangchen. It's time he learned a lesson. Besides, if you don't teach him a lesson harshly enough, today's incident will never be resolved peacefully. You've made such a fuss, and he might be able to keep quiet for a few days, hahahaha." Before she could finish, Jian Wuchen interrupted her with a soothing smile, completely understanding Mu Hanyan's intentions. The protective meaning in his words was self-evident.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, senior." Hearing him say that, Mu Hanyan felt even more embarrassed.
As he spoke, Jian Wuchen had already led everyone towards the Holy Sword Peak.
"By the way, Senior Jian, what is Han Yutang's origin?" Mu Hanyan couldn't help but ask.
The others also pricked up their ears, this was a common question for all of them.
"What's the use of senior or not? It's too formal. Just call me Uncle Jian from now on." Jian Wuchen waved his hand and then talked about Han Yutang's origins.
"Han Yutang is the last disciple, and only disciple, of Ao Fangchen, the Seventh Elder of Shenlao Peak. The Holy Court consists of nine peaks, seven gorges, and twelve valleys, as well as eighteen caves and thirty-six blessed lands. Shengyun Peak is the place where successive Holy Lords have practiced and resided, so I won't go into detail. Each of the other peaks, gorges, and valleys has produced renowned masters of their time, and in the past thousand years, the most celebrated have been the Seven Elders of Shenlao Peak.
All seven of them were incredibly talented and gifted. At their peak, except for the Holy Lord, no one else could rival them. These seven were also known as the Seven Elders of Divine Peak.
Seven hundred years ago, the Holy See and the Divine Temple clashed in a great battle on the Beiyuan Mist Plain. In that clash, both sides unleashed their mighty warriors, a battle so fierce that it shook the heavens and dimmed the sun and moon. At the height of the battle, the Holy Lord and the Divine Priest, the master of the Divine Peak, were both wounded, and only survived thanks to the combined efforts of the Seven Elders of Divine Peak.
To save him, six of the Seven Elders of Divine Peak died on the spot, leaving only the Seventh Elder, Ao Fangchen, alive. Because he had saved the Holy Lord's life, his status became even more transcendent, and everyone revered him as the Divine Elder.
Han Yutang is not only Ao Fangchen's only disciple, but his father is also the grandson of the Great Elder of Shenfeng, and his mother is the granddaughter of the Fourth Elder of Shenfeng. "At the end of his speech, Jian Wuchen gave another bitter smile.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others were secretly astonished. They had long suspected that Han Yutang had a prominent background, but they had never imagined it to be this powerful. His great-grandfather, his great-great-grandfather, and his master were the most powerful masters in the Holy Court in the past thousand years, aside from the Holy Lord. They had even saved the Holy Lord's life. No wonder he was so arrogant. Even the Holy Lord was probably powerless to deal with him.
Although they are all descendants of famous families, or even royal children, their backgrounds are still far behind Han Yutang's.
"So, it seems I've gotten myself into quite a bit of trouble." Mu Hanyan also gave a wry smile. It was just a way to establish my authority, but why did it feel like I had stirred up a hornet's nest?
"You don't have to worry too much. The Holy Court has its own rules after all. Not to mention Han Yutang, even when the Seven Elders of Divine Peak were alive, they couldn't break the rules. If you stay at Holy Sword Peak, even if you give Han Yutang a hundred guts, he won't dare to come here and cause trouble." Jian Wuchen said.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan and others looked at Jian Wuchen in confusion.
"This Holy Sword Peak is the place where the first Holy Lord practiced, and it is also a forbidden area of the Holy Court. From ancient times to the present, only those who have made great contributions to the Holy Court, or saints who are preparing to succeed the Holy Lord, can come here to practice meditation. No one else is allowed to enter. I am lucky to be sent by the Holy Lord to settle you, so I have this opportunity. Otherwise, I would not be qualified." Jian Wuchen explained.
Mu Hanyan and the others finally understood why the Holy Court disciples, including Han Yutang, had such deep hostility towards them. This must be one of the main reasons.
"But you still have to be careful when you leave this Holy Sword Peak. After all, Han Yutang has Ao Fangchen's support and has been spoiled since childhood. It will be difficult for him to swallow this humiliation. He will definitely look for trouble with you, especially you." Jian Wuchen was afraid that they were too careless, so he reminded them again.
Mu Hanyan certainly wouldn't take it lightly. Although Jian Wuchen had only spoken a few words about Ao Fangchen, and it wasn't clear if the legendary Elder was protecting him, Han Yutang was, after all, his only disciple and the descendant of an old friend. There was no way he'd just let it go. A minor incident would be fine, but if it got too serious, he'd definitely intervene.
Just based on his life-saving grace to the Holy Lord, I'm afraid even the Holy Lord would not be able to show up.
