The last two paragraphs of the previous chapter have been revised.
At this moment, Elder Qiu was almost there. Cui Chengshan and Peng Fei exchanged a glance. For Han Zhen's sake and for their status in the Han family, they had no choice but to fight.
The two men, one on each side, forcefully broke through the formation. A thunderous explosion rang out, and although the cage formation was broken, their bodies were charred black. Holding on to their last breath, they carried the unconscious Han Zhen and fled into the depths of the forest, quickly disappearing from sight.
Cui Chengshan and Peng Fei were both at the Core Formation stage, and they acted swiftly and decisively. Elder Qiu had no choice but to let them escape.
"They got off too easy!" Han Chen gritted his teeth.
Han Chen's hatred for Han Zhen was like a raging river; he wished he could kill his enemy with his own hands.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was simply not good enough, so he could only endure it.
This time, I thought I could kill Han Zhen, but I didn't expect him to get away again.
“They are seriously injured,” Mu Zihan comforted. “The cage formation is set up with eight thousand talismans. Even if two Core Formation cultivators forcibly break the formation, they will suffer serious injuries.”
Su Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Whether they survive or not depends on luck. I sprinkled a packet of demon-attracting powder on Han Zhen."
The Demon-Attracting Powder is a powder concocted by alchemists to lure demonic beasts.
This powder smells very good and has a strong attraction to monsters. Moreover, if you sprinkle it on your body, the fragrance will linger for more than ten days. Even if you change your clothes or take a bath, you cannot get rid of the fragrance.
In the snowy forest, there are many monsters, some of which are even high-level monsters. If you are sprinkled with monster-attracting powder, it is almost like a death sentence.
If Cui Chengshan and Peng Fei, both Core Formation stage cultivators, hadn't been injured, they could have saved Han Zhen. Now, with both Cui Chengshan and Peng Fei severely injured, it's likely that all three of them will meet a grim fate and never leave the Snowfield Forest.
"Junior Sister, it has to be you. I admire you so much!" Han Chen said excitedly, and as he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
Han Chen was heartbroken.
Despite his cheerful demeanor at the Xuanling Sect, he has shed countless tears when he is alone.
The Han family is an ancient cultivation family on the Wuyuan Continent.
Although they have declined somewhat, the Han family is still among the top twenty cultivation families in the Wuyuan Continent because of the presence of their patriarch, a Nascent Soul stage master craftsman.
Han Chen's mother, Lu Xuanxuan, is a member of the Lu family.
The Lu family was originally on par with the Han family, but after the Lu family patriarch's lifespan ended, the Lu family's status plummeted.
Since the passing of the Lu family patriarch, Lu Xuanxuan's position in the Han family has become somewhat unstable.
After giving birth to Han Chen, Han Chen was only a dual-spiritual-root child and was disliked by the Han family.
Later, when the Han family acquired Han Zhen, who possessed only the fire elemental root, they became even more disgusted with Han Chen.
When they were children, Han Zhen often bullied Han Chen. Han Zhen's mother, relying on the fact that she gave birth to Han Zhen, who had only one spiritual root, did not take Lu Xuanxuan, the head of the household, seriously at all and often picked fights with Lu Xuanxuan.
Han Chen and her son had a very difficult time living with the Lu family.
Later, the Han family sent Han Chen, who was only eleven years old, to the Xuanling Sect, focusing solely on cultivating Han Zhen, an outstanding member of the Han family.
When the Lu family acquired a new spiritual vein, the news reached the ears of the Han family, who then began to have designs on it.
Han Zhen's mother framed Lu Xuanxuan, saying that Lu Xuanxuan was not a virtuous woman. The Han family wanted to divorce Lu Xuanxuan and the Lu family came to the house to demand an explanation, but they only found Lu Xuanxuan's dead body.
That wasn't the end of it. The Han family also secretly leaked information to the Lu family's enemies, resulting in the Lu family's members all perishing during their training.
After that, the Lu family was gradually devoured by their enemies. At this time, the Han family took the opportunity to propose that the Lu family hand over the spiritual vein, and they would consider protecting the Lu family.
The head of the Lu family, who was also Han Chen's maternal grandfather, refused on the spot. In fact, Han Chen's father had long been colluding with the Lu family's enemies, and the Lu family was destroyed just like that.
Han Chen was only twelve years old when he learned about these things.
He was in the Xuanling Sect, and countless times he woke up in nightmares, thinking about wiping out the entire Han family.
But how could a disciple who had just joined the sect possibly stand against the entire Han family?
Han Chen cultivated diligently, but due to his limited aptitude, he still couldn't match Han Zhen's cultivation speed.
"Cultivate diligently! Within a hundred years, we will definitely be able to destroy the Han family," Su Qing said, patting Han Chen on the shoulder.
Within a hundred years?
Han Chen felt bitter. Could he become a Nascent Soul cultivator within a hundred years? And if so, would he be able to defeat the Han family patriarch?
"What? You don't believe me?" Su Qing raised an eyebrow. In her previous life, she cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years, and she even perished together with the Demon Lord.
What were her qualifications? Back then, she only had three spiritual roots.
Han Chen is far better off than her, and he has the backing of the Xuanling Sect.
"I believe you!" Han Chen took a deep breath and said, "I will definitely cultivate diligently, and I will avenge my mother and maternal grandfather's family."
The deeper you go into the snowy forest, the more monsters you'll encounter.
Cui Chengshan and Peng Fei were filled with regret!
In their panic, they ran headlong into the depths of the snowy forest.
They ran for a hundred miles before stopping to rest.
Han Zhen, that useless fellow, had already fainted. He was thrown on the ground and given a few pills to keep him alive.
Only then did Cui Chengshan and Peng Fei have time to check their injuries.
Peng Fei lost an arm, but he didn't have any medicine that could make the arm grow back.
As for Cui Chengshan, his limbs were intact, but he suffered severe internal injuries, especially from the palm strike reflected by Su Qing's Xuan Lei Zi Golden Shield, which dislocated his internal organs.
The two hurriedly took the medicine and sat cross-legged to heal their injuries.
But less than half an hour later, a monster attacked!
Fortunately, it was only a fourth-tier demonic beast, which I easily dealt with, and then I continued to heal my wounds...
Who would have thought that this was just the beginning?
One monster after another interrupted the two of them from healing, and what's more, the monsters that came were not only third and fourth-tier monsters, but also a sixth-tier monster!
Monsters of the sixth rank and above all have territories in the Snowfield Forest, and they generally do not leave their territories.
Such provocations, which come knocking on your door, are extremely rare.
"Something seems off!"
Both of them were already severely injured, and after barely managing to kill the sixth-tier demon beast, they felt as if their bodies were about to fall apart.
“Normally, we wouldn’t see a single demonic beast for three days, but now, in just three hours, there are more than a dozen demonic beasts?” Cui Chengshan frowned.
Peng Fei sniffed and asked, "Can you smell a fragrance?"
Cui Chengshan also sniffed; the faint fragrance seemed rather pleasant...
The two of them suddenly realized what was happening, and their faces turned pale.
"Demon-attracting powder!"
The two of them looked at Han Zhen, who had fainted and was lying on the ground.
"Despicable!" Cui Chengshan gritted his teeth.
But there was no other way; they couldn't just leave Han Zhen here.
If Han Zhen dies here, and they are still alive, the Han family will not let them live long.
However, in the snowy forest, this demon-attracting powder is going to kill them!
If they had known they would have to serve this spoiled brat Han, they wouldn't have joined the Han family. It wouldn't be worth losing their lives for a little bit of salary as a guest elder.
