"How much does the elders value the younger ones? Could it be that Deacon Zhao has forgotten how the Tu Zhangyuan 'took care' of me when I, Fang Han, was in Shen Courtyard? Those 'cares' are still fresh in Fang's memory."
Fang Han raised his eyes, and his gaze was like two rays of cold electricity, directed at Zhao Kun.
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! The method of running the college was originally for the purpose of exams, and there was absolutely no malice..."
Zhao Kun was stung by this gaze and felt a chill in his heart, and forced a smile.
"No malicious intent?"
Fang Han raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, interrupting Zhao Kun's words.
"If suppressing and excluding me and cutting off my resources is not malicious, then what is?"
"The actions aimed at destroying me and ruining my future can be canceled out with just a 'misunderstanding' and a gift?"
His tone was not passionate, but his words were cold and hit Zhao Kun's heart.
"What's more, if Tu Zhangyuan really wants to ease the situation, why not come in person? Send a deacon to deliver gifts, just to settle the past grudges. This sincerity... is too frivolous."
"Fang True Disciple, what happened before is in the past. We should look forward to everything. After all, Tu Zhangyuan is Shen Courtyard, the real power of the sect, Elder, and holds the power to allocate resources and evaluate disciples."
Zhao Kun's face turned blue and white. He took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and tried to persuade him from another angle.
"Although you are a proud True Disciple and have a respected status, one more powerful Elder friend is always one more powerful Elder enemy."
"Within the sect, people are so sophisticated. Sometimes... they need to be a little more harmonious. Why bother with some old grudges to only cause trouble in the future? Leave everything open so that we can meet each other easily in the future."
These words were soft but hard at the same time, and they already contained an implicit warning and threat.
It implies that if Fang Han insists on refusing, he will completely break up with Tu Baichuan, and will inevitably be restricted in the sect in the future.
Fang Han heard this, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
"Wonderful? Leave a thin line?"
He stood up slowly. Although the breath around him did not explode, there was an invisible pressure that filled the air, making Zhao Kun feel suffocated.
"I, Fang Han, act with a clear conscience. In the past, when he Tu Baichuan tried his best to suppress me, did I ever think of 'leaving a thin line'? Did I ever have any sense of humanity?"
"As for the trouble?" Fang Han snorted coldly.
"I was an ordinary disciple back then, and I was never suppressed by him, let alone today? If Tu Zhangyuan still wants to act like before, he might as well give it a try."
The confidence and determination in his tone made Zhao Kun's heart tremble.
The Fang Han at this time is completely different from the young man who practiced silently in Zi Courtyard and could rub it and manipulate it at will.
The confidence derived from strength and status is by no means a bluff.
"Bring the gift back, I've said it, Qui Lan, see you off!"
Fang Han waved his sleeves and turned his back, his voice was cold to the bone.
The most important reason why he rejected Tu Baichuan's reconciliation was that Chen Xuan Elder spoke up for him and did not hesitate to confront Tu Zhangyuan.
If he reconciled with Tu Baichuan today for a few gifts, where would he put Elder Chen?
Maid Qui Lan responded and made a "please" gesture to Zhao Kun. Although he was respectful, his eyes were firm.
Zhao Kun looked at Fang Han's tall and determined back, knowing that anything he said would be in vain.
He put away the jade box on the table with an ugly expression, and reluctantly held it in his hand. "In that case... I'm going to excuse you. If Fang True Disciple says it, Zhao will definitely bring it to you."
He turned around and left quickly, his back showing a bit of embarrassment and panic.
Inside Living Room, in front of the independent window of Fang Han, I looked at the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window with deep eyes.
Rejecting Tu Baichuan's reconciliation means that there is no possibility of rectifying the grudge with the powerful Elder.
But there was no regret or fear in his heart. There were some bottom lines that could not be traded, and some grievances that could not be easily written off.
On the road to martial arts, one must advance bravely and diligently. If one compromises due to fear of power and does not have clear ideas, how can one climb to a higher peak?
He believed that with the potential and strength he had shown now, the sect's senior leaders would never sit back and watch Tu Baichuan blatantly retaliate.
As for the secret means... the soldiers will stop it, and the water will cover it with the earth.
Now he has enough confidence to face these storms.
Shen Courtyard, Zhangyuan Quiet Room.
"Master, that Fang Han has an extremely resolute attitude. Not only did he refuse to accept the gift, he also left no room for change in his words. His subordinates are incompetent."
Zhao Kun lowered his head and stood in the hall, reported the experience he had just had at No. 35 Annex, and finally said in a low voice.
There was a dead silence in Quiet Room, and the aftertaste of Sandalwood Incense seemed to be stagnant.
Tu Baichuan was sitting on the Taishi chair, his face was so gloomy that it could drip water, and the veins on the back of his thin hands were slightly raised.
He never expected that he would lower his body and take the initiative to show his kindness, only to receive such a merciless rejection and slap in the face!
"Okay! What a Fang Han! What a genius True Disciple!"
Tu Baichuan squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, his voice was hoarse and cold, with extremely suppressed anger.
"It's so shameless!"
A violent breath escaped from his body uncontrollably, the temperature inside Quiet Room suddenly dropped, and the tables and chairs trembled slightly.
Zhao Kun was so frightened that he dared not express his anger and lowered his head deeply.
Tu Baichuan's chest heaved violently several times, and he wished he could immediately take action to teach that ignorant boy a lesson.
But reason told him that he couldn't do this.
Today's Fang Han is no longer Wu Xia Amen, but a talented disciple who has ascended to Prodigy Ranking and has attracted much attention from the sect.
If someone takes action against him without justifiable reasons, the sect master and Elder will never let him off lightly.
This anger that had nowhere to vent burned his internal organs, making him feel humiliated and depressed.
For a long time, he forced his surging breath down, and the terrifying aura around him slowly subsided, but his eyes became increasingly sinister and cold.
"This matter... this court is aware of."
Tu Baichuan's voice returned to calmness, but it was even more heart-stopping than before.
"You go down."
Zhao Kun As if he had received an amnesty, he quickly bowed and retreated, not daring to stay for a moment longer.
Inside Quiet Room, only Tu Baichuan is left again.
He slowly leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, his face looking a little distorted in the shadows.
"Fang Han..."
He whispered to himself in a low voice, his voice like a poisonous snake spitting a message.
"Let you be arrogant for a while... when you show your flaws, you will regret it!"
Outside the window, the sky had darkened at some point, dark clouds were gathering, and there was a faint sound of thunder rolling across the sky, indicating that a storm was coming.
The grudge between Fang Han and the headmaster Shen Courtyard has been completely exposed, and there is no possibility of easing it.
Under the undercurrent of the sect, a new contest is inevitable.
The moonlight is like blood, splashing in the sky above "Lin Family Manor".
The night that was supposed to be silent was torn apart by short, piercing screams, the crisp sound of broken weapons, and some kind of creepy "gurgling" sucking sound.
Fires ignited sporadically in the village, reflecting a hellish scene.
Bodies were scattered across the ground, and the ground was soaked with blood. Each body was extremely shriveled, as if it had been drained of all moisture and vitality.
A figure, his face covered with a ferocious evil ghost mask, his eyes flashing bloodthirsty red behind the holes in the mask, it is Chu Feng.
He looked like a ghost, walking through the village, with a strange blood glow lingering on his fingertips.
Wherever he passed, no matter the villagers who stood up to resist or the women and children who fled in panic, they were all wrapped in blood and turned into mummies in an instant.
The strong blood flowed into his body like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, making the aura emanating from his body become more cold and violent, but there was also a morbid sense of satisfaction in the violence.
When the last weak wail ended abruptly, Lin Family Manor fell completely into deathly silence, with only the crackling sound of burning flames and the overwhelmingly rich smell of blood filling the air.
Chu Feng stood on the roof of Zhuangzhong Ancestral Hall, took off his mask, and took a deep breath. The blood in the air caused a twisted look of intoxication and excitement to appear on his face.
"Huh..."
He slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that smelled of blood, feeling that the blood rushing in his body Internal Qi had filled to a critical point, impacting the invisible barrier.
"Fourth Grade... is within reach!"
Chu Feng clenched his fists hard, his knuckles turned white with excitement, and his eyes flashed with a fanatical light.
"Destroy one or two more... Just destroy one or two more subordinate Lineage of this size and draw enough blood to make a breakthrough!"
He seemed to have seen the scene where his strength skyrocketed after breaking through Fourth Grade, trampling Fang Han under his feet, humiliating and killing him wantonly.
Not only to defeat them, but also to look for opportunities to completely eliminate them without anyone noticing when they go out!
Thinking of Fang Han's calm face twisting in despair, Chu Feng felt an almost trembling pleasure.
"Fang Han... Just wait, your death is not far away!"
He chuckled in a low voice, put on the evil ghost mask again, and blended into the night like a real evil ghost, sneaking towards the next potential target.
Leaving behind a lifeless ruins.
The early morning sunshine dispersed the silence in the Azure Profound Sect No. 35 Annex.
In the courtyard, the aura around Fang Han is mellow and restrained, and he is savoring <Void-Sundering Nine Swords>'s closer connection with the wind of heaven and earth after entering the "Proficiency Realm" level.
There were slight but hurried footsteps outside the hospital, and an attendant came quickly and respectfully reported:
"Senior Brother Fang, please Law Enforcement Hall Zhou Jin Elder. Please go to the Law Enforcement Hall immediately."
Fang Han opened his eyes, and a ray of green light passed through his eyes.
Zhou Jin Elder?
His heart moved slightly.
He had some impressions of this Elder.
A year ago, Spirit Iron, who was transported back to the sect by Spirit Iron Mine, was turned into a stone. He and several escorting disciples suffered unjust injustice. It was this Zhou Jin Elder who presided over the investigation and finally cleared them.
He was an old man with a solemn face, sharp eyes, and fair dealings.
"Got it."
Fang Han spoke calmly, straightened his robe, hung it up Flowing Wind Sword, then left the other courtyard and walked towards the Law Enforcement Hall.
The Law Enforcement Hall main hall is still as solemn and solemn as in memory, and the air is filled with a faint Sandalwood Incense and an invisible pressure.
Zhou Jin Elder is sitting on the big rosewood chair at the top. Although his hair and beard are all white, his face is rosy, his eyes are warm and deep, and his aura is deep and deep, which makes people feel awe.
"Disciple Fang Han, see Zhou Elder."
Fang Han took a few steps forward, stood still at the foot of the steps, bowed and saluted, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Brother Fang, there is no need to be polite. Sit down."
Zhou Jin Elder's eyes fell on Fang Han, and he looked at it carefully. Deep in the gentle eyes, there was a trace of exclamation and emotion that was extremely difficult to detect.
He spoke slowly, his voice calm but dignified.
"Thank you Elder."
Fang Han sat down on the next pear wood chair as instructed, with a calm posture.
"Master Nephew Fang, this is the second time we have met. It is unimaginable that it has only been more than a year."
Zhou Jin Elder stroked his beard and sighed, his eyes seeming to penetrate time.
"You have gone from an ordinary disciple of Zi Courtyard to Prodigy Ranking and become a pillar of the sect."
There was some real emotion in his words, and he was not just being polite.
In more than a year, from an ordinary disciple to a prodigy True Disciple who is equal to Elder, the real power of the sect, this kind of leap can be called a legend.
"Elder is too praised, and the disciple is not worthy of it. If Elder hadn't clearly understood everything back then, the disciple might not be where he is today. I wonder what Elder's instructions are when he calls the disciple here today?"
Fang Han looked as usual and bowed slightly.
"I'm calling you here because there is indeed an urgent matter. Recently, the sect has received emergency reports one after another. Three small affiliated forces of the sect have... been destroyed by warriors who practice magic skills."
Zhou Jin Elder restrained his emotion, his face turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice.
"Destroy the whole family?"
Fang Han's eyes narrowed.
Although he had already heard rumors about the reappearance of the magic power from Yun Qianyue and others, he was still shocked when he heard the word "annihilate the clan" and it was directed at the affiliated forces of the Azure Profound Sect.
This has touched the bottom line of the Azure Profound Sect and can be called a provocation to the Azure Profound Sect.
"That's right, if you don't leave any chickens or dogs alive, you'll kill them all."
Zhou Jin Elder spoke with a heavy tone and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The traces on the scene were tragic. All the deceased's energy and blood had dried up. They were obviously devoured by evil spirits."
"Based on the clues from all parties, it is most likely the work of an evil warrior cultivating <Blood Demon Technique>."
Fang Han frowned slightly.
"How can magic warriors be so rampant that they dare to directly attack the forces affiliated with the sect?"
This is tantamount to disturbing Tai Sui's head. It can be seen that he is either powerful and has no scruples, or he is completely crazy.
"The sect must strike back with thunder to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhou Jin Elder's voice turned cold.
"The sect has decided to send elites to secretly investigate and pursue the murderer. We must find out the mastermind behind the scenes and eliminate the evil atmosphere. And the leader of this investigation..."
He looked directly at Fang Han.
"I have decided to choose you, of course it depends on your own wishes."
Fang Han met Zhou Jin Elder's gaze, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
The risks of the mission are self-evident. Being able to destroy three affiliated forces in a row with such brutal methods means that the opponent will definitely not be easy to deal with.
But on the other hand, this is also a rare opportunity to gain experience, and it is also an opportunity to accumulate the sect's contribution and exchange it for Grandmaster Martial Art in the future.
Moreover, System Panel, a "gold-swallowing behemoth", requires a huge amount of wealth, and it is too slow to rely solely on the accumulation of sect monthly fees and affiliation shares.
He has practiced diligently in the sect for nearly a month, and has made progress in his cultivation, Sword Technique, and Body Movement. He really needs to go out and look for Opportunity to verify what he has learned.
"Such demons have brought trouble to Qingyang and harmed fellow disciples. As Azure Profound Sect True Disciple, I have no shirk from my responsibilities."
Fang Han hesitated for a moment, then answered loudly.
"I just don't know what the sect's specific arrangements are for this trip. How much information is there on the opponent?"
Seeing Fang Han's straightforward answer, Zhou Jin Elder explained with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
"Since the sect has entrusted it to you, it will have its own thorough considerations. You don't need to worry too much about the investigation. The sect will arrange for the best experts in tracking and investigation to assist. They are good at this and can provide you with the most accurate intelligence support."
"What you need to do is judgment, decision-making, and when necessary... a thunderous strike!"
He paused and continued.
"As for the other personnel involved in this operation, except for the core investigators, you can choose those who are trustworthy and cooperative."
"After all, dealing with those who practice magic skills is extremely dangerous, and teamwork is crucial."
This has given considerable autonomy to Fang Han, and also reflects respect for Tianjiao True Disciple.
If it were an ordinary disciple, the sect would just give the order and assign him directly, and there would never be any discussion.
Fang Han already had some concerns in his mind and quickly spoke.
"Thank you Elder for your trust. If the disciples choose, I hope that four people, Yun Qianyue, Li Feng, Huang Ling'er, and Shi Meng, can go together."
These four people are geniuses among their peers, and their strength is not weak.
More importantly, they are both from Zi Courtyard, and they know each other well with Fang Han. They know each other deeply, have high trust, and naturally work together in a tacit understanding.
Especially Yun Qianyue and Li Feng, both of which are as strong as Seventh Rank, are extremely powerful boosters.
"Yun Qianyue, Li Feng, Huang Ling'er, Shi Meng..."
Zhou Jin Elder nodded slightly. These four people are indeed the younger generation disciples in the sect who have the closest relationship with Fang Han and are also outstanding enough.
"Yes, I will immediately give an order to dispatch them to act with you. The investigators dispatched by the sect will join you soon, and all relevant files and intelligence will be delivered to you at that time."
"Yes, disciple understands."
Fang Han stood up and handed over his hands.
"Go back and get ready for life."
Zhou Jin Elder waved his hand, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
"This trip is dangerous. You must be careful to find out the real culprit. If you are unable to catch it, call the sect in time. Don't show off."
"Disciple, please remember Elder's teachings and do your best to live up to the sect's trust!"
Fang Han solemnly agreed, saluted again, turned around and exited the Law Enforcement Hall hall.
