At this point, some people sensed that something was wrong.
Shangguan Linglong frowned and said, "Elder Han, the Han family summoned us here, not just for this so-called Spirit Valley Sect, right?"
They said they were looking for the murderer who shot the Han family, but nothing happened along the way, and instead they found this place.
The leader of the Crimson Cloud Hall also had some doubts.
Han Chao paused for a moment, then quickly said, "No, no, everyone, please don't misunderstand. We came here to protect our Han family disciples from being assassinated and to investigate the matter of the demons."
"As for the Linggu Sect, that is the task of us disciples who have entered here."
He sighed and said, "You may not know this, but my Han family has some records of this place, though only a few. Even the cultivation techniques of our ancestor have been lost for a long time."
His expression turned sad and helpless: "As everyone knows, our Han family is a family that rose to prominence after the war between gods and demons. We have our own unique cultivation techniques that have been passed down to this day."
"However, these cultivation techniques did not originally belong to our Han family. Our Han family's ancestor was an ordinary person who married a disciple of the Spirit Valley Sect, resulting in the birth of a descendant with spiritual roots and exceptional aptitude."
"The cultivation methods of Linggu Sect are not actually very suitable for people in our central region. Therefore, by chance, the two ancestors of my Han family obtained a more advanced cultivation method, which led to the Han family's current success."
"But because of this, the cultivation techniques of our Linggu Sect's ancestor were not passed down, and her existence is only mentioned briefly in historical records."
At this moment, he took out a very simple map and placed it in front of everyone, saying with a regretful expression, "This is the only simple map of Linggu Sect that I have left."
The history is told in a very moving way, but the problems are also quite obvious.
Shangguan Linglong said, "Since the Linggu Sect's techniques are not suitable for the Han family, and are not even very good techniques, why do you Han family members still come to explore the Linggu Sect?"
Han Chao said with a wry smile, "I'm sure everyone knows about our Han family's young lady, right?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
The young lady of the Han family... is none other than Han Yueji, the youngest daughter of Han Shuo, the current head of the Han family.
Shangguan Linglong asked hesitantly, "Could it be that... young lady who was born without spiritual roots?"
As a family of cultivators, the Han family has produced many talented individuals over the past five hundred years, especially its direct descendants. Every young master and lady born with extraordinary spiritual talent is considered to be exceptional.
However, five years ago, an exception occurred.
The youngest daughter of Han Duo, the eldest son of the Han family, was born. Because the day of her birth was the Han family's ancestral worship day, it was a grand occasion and she became very famous.
Sects and families that wanted to make connections would also go and join in the fun.
I originally thought that this little girl, who was born on the same day as my ancestor, would surely be blessed by him and become a person as talented and brilliant as him.
But no one expected that the little girl didn't have any spiritual roots.
Han Chao nodded: "That's right. Originally, our young master thought that our young lady was just an ordinary mortal, but unexpectedly, two years ago, our young lady suddenly developed spiritual roots."
This caused quite a stir among those present.
"Suddenly possessing a spiritual root? How is that possible?" The Crimson Cloud Hall Master felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Han Chao said helplessly, "Hall Master Chiyun, please calm down. In fact, the creation of spiritual roots out of thin air is not a magical thing for the Linggu Sect. Our ancestor was like that."
"Therefore, our family believes that our young lady may have experienced a reversion to her ancestral state, and that our current cultivation method is no longer suitable for her. That is why we sent so many people from the Han family into the Poison Mist Forest to search for the lost Spirit Valley Sect."
These words caused an uproar in the room.
Which of the sects and families present hasn't existed for longer than the Han family? In fact, there is a hierarchy of contempt among sects and families as well.
The first is the length of time they have existed. Long-established sects and families, feeling that they have a long and rich history, look down on those who suddenly rise to prominence.
Second is strength.
Strength can subdue others, but contempt cannot.
The Han family has always been viewed with suspicion by many cultivation sects and families because of its short existence and its transformation from a mortal ruling family.
Although the Helian family's Xiaoshanyou was established relatively late, the three families of Xiaoshanyou had long existed in history.
That's something the Han family can't compare to.
But now the Han family actually wants to find their ancestor's cultivation technique.
Wouldn't that push the history of the Han family back many, many years?
That's incredible!
A cultivation technique that existed before the war between gods and demons, and a child with a primal form.
In any sect or family, this seems to be a kind of omen.
The Han family was naturally willing to talk about this, as it was equivalent to sending a signal to the entire Ninth Generation.
A new era for the Han family is about to begin.
To be honest, none of the sects and families present were in a very good mood.
However, no one will show it in a particularly obvious way.
Shangguan Linglong said, "It seems that the Han family has a promising future, which is cause for celebration. However, since we are here, let's finish what we have left. In principle, we are only here to find someone, not for the cultivation technique, so the Han family is not exactly deceiving us."
She looked at the Crimson Cloud Hall Master: "Crimson Cloud Hall Master, what do you think?"
Chi Yun said coldly, "Miss Shangguan is right."
However, the dissatisfaction in his tone was still clearly audible.
But Han Chao didn't care. He smiled and continued to look at the inscriptions carved on the stone tablet.
Meng Wanwan and the others, who were standing not far from them, watched this scene, and Meng Wanwan smiled.
He's lying.
They were standing inside a barrier set up by Shangguan Liuyue. They couldn't fathom Shangguan Liuyue's strength, but this barrier was truly powerful.
A group of people stood right next to them watching, while the other side, with so many people, couldn't see them.
Helian Xiao nodded slightly: "Yes, according to the information you provided, the spiritual root appeared out of nowhere. It was clearly the woman who was rescued by the sect leader. When did it become a Linggu Sect technique? This is too far-fetched."
Meng Xiuyi said calmly, "Haven't you realized that the most absurd thing is for spiritual roots to appear out of thin air?"
Meng Wanwan asked in confusion, "Father, is there really no way to cultivate spiritual roots in this world?"
“Yes!” Before Meng Xiuyi could answer, Shangguan Liuyue walked to her side, fanning herself with her fan, and used the fan to touch her chin: “Ah… let me think… um… it’s been too long, I just remember, um… it was a forbidden technique.”
Shangguan Liuyue tapped her head with her fan, a fierce glint flashing between her brows before disappearing.
Memories seem to fade even faster these days...
"Forbidden technique?" Meng Wanwan blinked at him.
Shangguan Liuyue looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Little girl, do you know what kind of cultivation technique is contained in the Seven Stars Flowing Moon sword in your hand?"
Meng Wanwan's eyes widened immediately: "How do you know my weapon is called Flowing Moon Seven Stars?"
Shangguan Liuyue winked at her and said, "Come on, let your brother teach you how to use the 'Seven Clouds Formation'?"
Meng Wanwan's mouth opened slightly, but before he could speak, Shangguan Liuyue suddenly tapped her little red fan with her own fan.
Seven rays of light instantly flew out of the barrier, arranged from top to bottom, and in an instant, the dark forest seemed to darken even more.
"What happened?"
"What's this?"
"A glow of dawn? How could there be a glow of dawn here?"
Han Fei bit her lip; the glow of the sunset looked very familiar.
In the dark and gloomy space, the seven-colored rays of light descended from above, forming a vertical array resembling the Big Dipper.
When the pattern was formed, everyone felt as if their bodies were being restrained by something.
Han Fei bit her lip and shouted angrily, "The Meng... Meng family..."
Han Chao recognized the formation and immediately turned pale.
However, this is not the end.
Meng Xiuyi and the others were stunned. They watched as Shangguan Liuyue opened her fan, placed the fan horizontally, and then suddenly lifted it upwards.
It seemed as if some terrifying force had pulled the vertical Big Dipper horizontally above everyone's heads.
"Open!" The fan suddenly drooped down.
The radiant light from the seven points immediately transformed into seven swords that plunged fiercely into the ground, and the massive array plate encompassed everyone within it.
The moment the seven swords hit the ground, a violent tremor came from beneath everyone's feet.
Then suddenly the ground beneath their feet gave way, and everyone felt as if they had fallen into an abyss.
Meng Wanwan stood there, stunned, her mind filled with the alarm she had been hearing.
"Master, master, data updated! The creator of the Seven Stars of Flowing Moon—Shangguan Liuyue!"
