Whoever Killed My Han Household Member, Kill Yourself in Apology
[Before the Azure Cloud Sect Envoy's Cloud Boat even landed, the Cloud Boat Nascent Soul pressed down on the Main Hall.]
[The Mountain-Protection Grand Formation the Greenwood Sect was pressed down layer by layer, its Array Patterns creaking and rattling against the stone pillars of the Mountain Gate.]
[You are standing on the steps of the Main Hall.]
Behind you, Qi Cangshu and a group of elders and Deacons had already bowed.
Several lower-level Deacons buckled at the knees and immediately knelt on the stone steps.
[The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was sweating, but he secretly raised his head slightly.]
[He was waiting, waiting for the Azure Cloud Sect's envoy to question him.]
[Wait until Qi Cangshu and you, this puppet Sect Master, get slapped to death.]
[The Cloud Boat hovered in mid-air, and an old man in a green robe landed on its bow.]
[His hair was half-white, his figure thin, his cuffs embroidered with the cloud patterns of the Azure Cloud Sect's External Affairs Hall, and a jade pendant bearing the Han Household hung at his waist.]
[His hair was pulled low, making him appear to stand upright in mid-air, and even the wind from the Greenwood Sect seemed to stop.]
The visitor's name was Han Shishan.
[The Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Han Household, one of the Four Great Lineage of Qingyang City.]
[At the same time, he also held the position of Elder of the External Affairs Hall of the Azure Cloud Sect.]
[It is highly unusual for Nascent Soul Grandmaster to personally visit a Border Region sect.]
[You learn from Han Changqing's memories that the Han Household is currently in a precarious situation within the Azure Cloud Sect.]
The Han Household appears powerful on the surface, but is actually weak.
[Han Household truly had the resources, they wouldn't have needed their Nascent Soul ancestor to personally make a trip to the Greenwood Sect.]
This is a classic case of being outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
The weaker Lineage, the more it needs to demonstrate its strength.
[In the previous simulation, Han Changqing died because he colluded with the Demon Race.]
[The Azure Cloud Sect will undoubtedly use this opportunity to suppress the Han Household faction.]
[Therefore, the Han Household never caused trouble again.]
[Of course, this is also because the interests of small sects in Border Regions are too small.]
[It's gone, so be it.]
[Han Changqing was originally from a minor, unimportant branch of the Han Household.]
[Han Shishan didn't even bother to step into the Main Hall; he hovered in mid-air, looking down at everyone, and began to speak.]
"Whoever killed Han Household, commit suicide to atone for your sins."
[As soon as the words were spoken, the pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator descended once more.]
The members of the Greenwood Sect lowered their heads even further.
The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was secretly delighted.
[This is the moment he's been waiting for.]
Qi Cangshu and that puppet Sect Master are finally going to be in trouble.
The Mining Hall elder subtly shifted half a step to the side, already plotting how to demonstrate his loyalty to the Han Household.
[The External Affairs Hall Deacon pressed his head to his chest, wishing he could turn into a floor tile on the spot.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Insist on Han Changqing's claim of Qi Deviation.]
[B: Trick Han Shishan into the Main Hall, let him experience the Han Changqing package—first rape, then murder, then steal his Storage Ring, thus completely shedding his identity as a poor True Person.]
[C: Tell Han Shishan that I killed Han Changqing, but your Han Household has to pay me a service fee of 320,000 yuan. After all, cleaning up your own house is for your own good.]
Lu Ping looked at B and sighed inwardly.
Little B, I really like him.
The Storage Ring of the Nascent Soul Ancestor.
In the last simulation, Law Treasures, top-grade Cultivation Method, and tens of thousands of mid-grade Spirit Stones were extracted from the Storage Ring of the Household Ancestor Zhao.
Han Shishan, also a patriarch of the Aristocratic Clan, is probably not much less wealthy.
As long as Lu Ping destroys Han Shishan's Storage Ring, he can instantly escape poverty and become rich.
But the problem is also quite simple.
The elder of the Azure Cloud Sect's External Affairs Hall died at the Greenwood Sect.
Even if the Azure Cloud Sect doesn't care about the Border Regions, it's impossible for them to let Nascent Soul Elder die without a trace.
Let's play it safe at the start of the game.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[This is effective on Salty Fish.]
[The Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula is activated.]
[The pressure of Nascent Soul cultivator pressed down on you, causing only a slight ache to your shoulders.]
[You did not back down.]
[You raise your hand and take out the Greenwood Sect Master's Token.]
"Sect Master Han forcibly broke through the barrier, causing his Spiritual Power to flow in reverse, his Divine Sense to backfire, and his Dantian to collapse."
"When Elder Qi entered the hall, it was already too late to save him."
"Those within and outside the Greenwood Sect can all testify."
[Han Shishan stares at you coldly.]
"Can all of them testify?"
[He suddenly raised his hand, and a giant Spiritual Power palm formed instantly above everyone's heads, pressing down bit by bit, seemingly to crush them all.]
[The terrifying power caused ripples to spread through space.]
"This is my final question."
"Who killed members of my Han Household?"
The Greenwood Sect's senior members behind you were all terrified.
[But you remained completely unperturbed.]
[Just a minor Nascent Soul.]
[Whether it's using "I'm the Client" to confront them directly, using "I’ll Make Three Points" to stall, or using "Early Leave" to back down.]
[Han Shishan is not enough to pose a fatal danger to you.]
[Even using only the Spirit-Winding Threads, you can escape unscathed.]
You just feel a little regretful.
[In the previous simulation, you and Si Wangshu collaborated several times, achieving mutual benefits.]
Even if you're only at the Qi Refining Stage, Si Wangshu is willing to compensate you with the incomplete Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill.
[You are willing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Si Wangshu, so your first move was to provide the complete and revised formula for the Heaven-Mending Lesser Rejuvenating Pill.]
[Even though Han Shishan has pushed things to this point, Si Wangshu still hasn't made a move.]
[What a pity, you originally wanted to be a good person.]
[Thinking this through, you were already preparing to utter those four words, and your finger lightly tapped to retrieve the medicine bottle from your Storage Ring.]
Just then, an old and cold voice rang out.
"The Han Household, what a powerful force they are!"
The moment the voice faded, Han Shishan's large hand, which had been hovering above the crowd, suddenly stopped.
[Han Shishan turned his head abruptly, his face unusually grave.]
[An old woman wearing a veiled hat, her figure hunched over, had somehow appeared at the edge of the square.]
She stood there quietly, as if she had always been there.
[Han Shishan noticed a subtle, inconspicuous pattern on the old woman's simple linen dress, and his pupils contracted sharply.]
[Han Shishan recognized the old woman's origin.]
The old woman ignored Han Shishan's surprise and doubt, and simply spoke slowly.
"Three days ago, there were indeed signs of uncontrolled Spiritual Power emanating from the direction of the Main Hall."
"I was just passing by and glanced at it."
"This is indeed a sign of forcibly breaking through the barrier, resulting in a backlash of Spiritual Power."
"Then, the person died."
[After the old woman finished speaking, without waiting for Han Shishan's reply, she turned and left, her figure blurring several times before disappearing into the depths of the bamboo forest.]
[She seemed to have just come out for a walk and casually said something fair.]
Han Shishan stood frozen in place, his hand still suspended in mid-air, unsure whether to grab it or retract it.
[An old face, pale and ashen.]
The Han Household is already in dire straits; offending an unfathomable behemoth would be tantamount to courting their own destruction.
[Options pop up.]
[A: Give Han Shishan a way out, so he can smoothly register the change of Sect Master.]
[B: Taking advantage of the Si Clan's influence, they demanded exorbitant prices and squeezed a considerable sum out of Han Shishan.]
[C: Produce the employment contract on the spot and announce that the old woman from the Si Clan is the honorary security captain of the Greenwood Sect.]
