Since she claims to be a guardian of the Heavenly Dao's rules, there must be a reason for her existence.
Jun Tan pondered for a moment, "For example, someone like Yu Hui, who can influence the laws of heaven, or someone or something that can bring irreversible damage to this world."
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "I understand."
At this moment, Jun Tan suddenly said, "You have the power left behind by Yu Hui in your body. You make me very uneasy. Perhaps, you have the opportunity to become the next her."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was still unaware of the seriousness of the problem, but he could clearly feel the coldness in Jun Tan's tone.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I am not Yu Hui, and I will not be Yu Hui."
Jun Tan shook his head, said no more, and continued walking forward.
The two continued on their journey without saying another word. How far were towns, villages, rivers, ancient roads, and the ends of the earth? It seemed that it was nothing more than that.
They would occasionally exchange a few words, but most of the time they remained silent. However, even when they were together without saying a word, there was no sense of awkwardness. It was as if only they could see each other when they looked up, and everything felt so natural.
Xiao Yuhan kept watching her back. It seemed familiar, yet strange, but a feeling of affection was growing in his heart.
Several months later, the two arrived at a small town in front of the Northern Heavenly River. This was the only town they had seen along the way that still had a decent number of people, and their arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Because the two of them were indeed very conspicuous, as soon as they arrived at the village, they sensed a strange aura emanating from the City God Temple at the village entrance. Just as they were about to go and take a look, they were stopped by a little child. "Brother and sister, don't go near the City God's temple. There's a madman inside!"
Xiao Yuhan found it strange. Even standing this far away, he could feel the malevolent aura emanating from inside. Hearing what the child said, he became even more puzzled. "Madman? What madman?"
"Actually, he's not a bad person. The madman in the temple isn't a bad person. He even saved us once. But he has a bad temper and likes to beat people. Last time, several people dressed like you came here, and he beat them up and drove them out."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan became even more curious. "It's alright, little brother. Look, this sister is a top-notch expert. She will protect us!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yuhan smiled happily at Jun Tan, "Right, Miss Tan!"
"Hmph! My name is Jun Tan, not some Miss Tan. Watch your words!" With that, Jun Tan walked forward with a cold face, heading straight for the dilapidated City God Temple.
Walking past the courtyard wall that seemed destined to collapse at any moment, and pushing open the half-broken temple door, Jun Tan slowly walked forward. Xiao Yuhan patted the little boy's head: "Kid, want to come inside with us and take a look?"
"No, no, I'll wait for you here. If you get beaten up, I'll go and call the villagers to come and save you!" The child hid behind the crumbling mud wall. Xiao Yuhan smiled, thinking that this kid was quite clever. He immediately prepared to follow Jun Tan to check.
But they had only taken a couple of steps when suddenly a terrifying aura swept over them. A man shrouded in black energy charged out. His appearance was obscured, but his tall and imposing physique suggested he was a man. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and he looked quite wretched. He wielded a large sword and attacked Jun Tan with overwhelming killing intent.
Jun Tan simply raised his hand and grabbed the blade, then turned and kicked the man back into the City God Temple, where he crashed onto the broken statue of the City God.
Jun Tan still held the madman's knife in her hand. She gradually frowned and stared at the knife in her hand for a moment. "This knife looks familiar. It's a bit like Nanmen Linjiang's knife. Han Yue, is this kid Nanmen Yihen?"
As soon as Jun Tan finished speaking, the man inside rushed out again. His face was ferocious, and he roared as he charged forward like a madman without reason. Jun Tan frowned and said coldly, "If you seek death again, I will kill you today!"
But the other party ignored him completely, as if they hadn't heard Jun Tan's words at all, and continued to rush forward madly.
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan had no recollection of Nanmen Yihen, so he simply stood far away to the side, knowing that even if this madman was quite strong, he would not be a match for Jun Tan.
As expected, the madman was now without his knife, and with Jun Tan's use of the laws of magic, he was defeated in less than three moves. Jun Tan stepped forward, knife in hand, intending to end his life, but the little boy from before rushed out and blocked Jun Tan's path, crying out, "Sister! Don't hurt him, he's not a bad person!"
Jun Tan stared at the little boy's face and said coldly, "Whether he is a good person or a bad person is none of my business. Since he dared to attack me, he should pay the price for his actions."
"Sister, no! He's just not thinking straight! He saved the people in our village and fought off those monsters!"
Jun Tan snorted lightly, "If I can't beat him today, will I have died for nothing? Little brat, get out of the way, or you'll die too!"
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan stepped forward and examined the man. He found that the man was indeed mentally unstable. So he slowly approached Nanmen Yihen and suddenly realized that Nanmen Yihen did not have any intention to kill him. Instead, he was staring straight at Jun Tan. He seemed to understand something and walked up to Jun Tan. "Miss Tan, he must have sensed the demonic aura on you, which is why he attacked you."
"So what? Are you saying that demons can be killed for no reason?"
Xiao Yuhan said helplessly, "I mean, he might not have wanted to hurt you, it was just instinct, because he was no longer thinking straight at that moment. By the way, you seem to know him too?"
