"Why leave in such a hurry?"
Fang Han shouted coldly, and Cloudsplitter Sword turned into a blue sword light, slashing Yuan Ye's back.
Yuan Ye punched out with his backhand, the fists and swords met, and a dull loud noise erupted.
"Boom!"
He took advantage of the counter-shock of this punch, and his body accelerated and drifted backwards, putting some distance between him and Fang Han.
Wu Zheng held on to his injured body and chased for a few steps, punched out with both fists, and struck Yuan Ye with two ice-blue fist seals.
Yuan Ye turned sideways to avoid it, and the fist mark brushed against the corner of his clothes.
Hitting an ancient tree behind him, the ancient tree froze and then shattered into countless ice crystals.
"Fang Han, I will kill you next time!"
Yuan Ye's body had swept dozens of feet away, and his voice came from afar, carrying uncontrollable anger and unwillingness.
His body swayed, disappeared into the dense forest, and soon disappeared from sight.
He is not the opponent of Fang Han and Wu Zheng who joined forces, but Fang Han and Wu Zheng will separate sooner or later.
When the two are separated, get rid of Wu Zheng first, and then deal with Fang Han.
"I'm afraid you don't have the strength!"
Looking at Yuan Ye who was escaping quickly, Fang Han and Wu Zheng did not pursue them. The two of them joined forces and were able to gain the upper hand in the fight with Yuan Ye.
But it is simply impossible to get rid of Yuan Ye, the Second Grade warrior.
"Fang True Disciple, are you okay?"
Wu Zheng stood with his fist closed, his eyes falling on Fang Han's left shoulder where he received a punch from Yuan Ye. There was a lot of blood leaching out through the soft armor.
"It's a flesh wound, it's not a problem."
Fang Han shook his head, Cloudsplitter Sword returned to its sheath, and looked towards the direction where Yuan Ye disappeared.
"I didn't expect that Yuan Ye actually broke through Second Grade."
Wu Zheng looked pale and his voice was a bit solemn.
After the fight with Yuan Ye just now, his injuries that had already recovered aggravated again.
There was a dull pain everywhere in the body.
"What I didn't expect is that Fang True Disciple's strength is actually enough to compete with Yuan Ye, who is already a Second Grade warrior."
"Wu Elder is serious, I can barely cope with it."
Fang Han looked away.
His family knew his own situation, so even if he tried his best, compared with Yuan Ye, the Second Grade warrior, he could at most barely be on par.
If the fierce battle continues, with the consumption of Internal Qi, the amount of Internal Qi is far inferior to that of Yuan Ye, and it is very likely that I will lose.
"Fang True Disciple, in your opinion, how will Yuan Ye behave after he retreats?"
Wu Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"He will never give up."
Fang Han was silent for a moment and said slowly.
"I agree with Fang True Disciple."
Wu Zheng paused and continued.
"Yuan Ye is here with two goals - to kill True Disciple and take back the gold mine. Now that he has returned defeated, he will definitely not stop there."
"I'm worried that he will take advantage of us and defeat us one by one."
Yuan Ye is Second Grade warrior. If the two of them, especially him, meet Yuan Ye alone, they will definitely be in trouble.
"What does Wu Elder mean?"
Fang Han asked.
"Abandon this gold mine for now."
Wu Zheng suggested.
"Fang True Disciple will lead his people to withdraw to my side. You and I will join forces to prevent Yuan Ye from taking advantage of it."
He paused and looked at Fang Han with a hint of inquiry.
"As for this gold mine, we will take it back after the sect sends us a helping hand."
"Just do as Wu Elder said."
Fang Han nodded in agreement.
The two of them really cannot be separated, and Yuan Ye cannot be given a chance to defeat each other.
As for the gold mine, just as Wu Zheng said, we can take it back after the sect's help arrives.
"I'll go back and take the people back."
"Okay, I'll wait here for Fang True Disciple."
Wu Zheng showed a bit of relief on his face and said with a cup of his hands.
Fang Han said no more, unfolded Body Movement, and swept towards the original Nether Pavilion Gold Mine Site.
When he returned to his original Nether Pavilion Gold Mine Site, more than ten Deacon disciples were gathering at the door, and their faces were not very good.
They could clearly hear the news of the fierce battle just now in the mine.
Seeing him come back now, his clothes on his left shoulder were torn and stained with blood, and everyone looked stern.
Given the strength of Senior Brother Fang, he was actually injured. One can imagine the strength of the attacking enemy.
"Pack it up, let's retreat to Wu Zheng Elder."
Fang Han glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Everyone looked at each other, and although they were a little surprised, no one asked any questions.
They had all heard the news of the fierce battle just now, and they were definitely not able to deal with an enemy that could injure Fang Han.
Senior Brother Fang must have a reason for making this decision.
Everyone dispersed to pack their bags.
Not long after, everyone finished cleaning up, and more than ten figures left the mine under the leadership of Fang Han.
Meet Wu Zheng and head towards Azure Profound Sect Mining Site.
Of course, they also took away the gold mined during this period.
The journey of only ten miles was quickly reached at their speed.
When Azure Profound Sect Mining Site returned, Wu Zheng asked his subordinate Deacon to arrange food and lodging.
Fang Han was led to a relatively neat wooden house deep in the mine.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch, Fang Han took a Jade Dew Pellet which can heal wounds and detoxify, and then took out a cloth strip to re-bandage the wound on his left shoulder.
The wound is not deep, and with <Black Tortoise True Art>'s recovery power, it will heal in three to five days at most.
He closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing, recovering the Internal Qi consumed in the battle, and using Internal Qi to speed up the recovery of his injuries.
The next day, after breakfast, Fang Han quietly left the Azure Profound Sect gold mine without disturbing anyone.
After leaving the Qingxuanmen Gold Mine, he swayed, deployed <Windcloud Escape>, and swept away in the direction that Yuan Ye retreated yesterday.
"Buzz--"
Increase the consumption of Internal Qi and run <Thousand-Mile Soul Lock> at full capacity.
The smells remaining in the air were complex and chaotic, including the fragrance of vegetation, the fishy smell of earth, and the bloody remains of yesterday's fight.
Yuan Ye did not practice Breath Concealment Secret Technique to restrain his aura, but only relied on his powerful cultivation to forcibly restrain it.
It was easy to find his breath.
"Whoosh!"
He followed the breath.
Suddenly--
A quarter of an hour later, his steps suddenly stopped.
Yuan Ye appeared in his perception.
Cold, violent, with a familiar sense of oppression from fighting during the day.
"Buzz--"
Fang Han holds his breath, <Return to Ruin Essence Concealment Art> operates with all his strength, suppressing his breath to the extreme.
He followed the direction of the breath and approached quietly. After a while, the outline of a manor appeared in his field of vision.
The manor occupies a large area, with blue bricks and black tiles, high walls and a deep courtyard. Two wind lanterns hang in front of the door, swaying gently in the night wind.
Judging from the regulations, it should be the property of a wealthy businessman in the city.
The aura of Yuan Ye is deep in this manor.
Fang Han did not get close, but remembered the location of the manor and the surrounding terrain from a distance.
After a while, he quietly retreated and returned to Azure Profound Sect Mining Site.
Instead of going back to his cabin, Fang Han went straight to Wu Zheng's residence.
"Come in."
Hearing the knock on the door, the voice of Wu Zheng came from inside the house.
Fang Han pushed the door open and entered.
"Fang True Disciple, is there something wrong?"
Wu Zheng was sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch. When he saw Fang Han coming in, he asked.
"Wu Elder, I found Yuan Ye's hiding place."
Fang Han Get straight to the point.
"Did you find Yuan Ye's hiding place?"
Wu Zheng was slightly startled, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Hmm."
Fang Han nodded and roughly described the location of the manor and the surrounding terrain.
"This is an excellent opportunity to get rid of Yuan Ye. Unfortunately, with the strength of you and me, even if we join forces, we can't kill Yuan Ye."
Wu Zheng After listening, he was silent for a moment, stood up, and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands.
He spoke slowly, his voice a little helpless.
Fang Han was silent, he knew that Wu Zheng was telling the truth.
In yesterday's battle, he and Wu Zheng teamed up, and although they had a slight upper hand, that was all.
Yuan Ye If you are determined to escape, they won't be able to keep you.
As for the people in the mine, except for him and Wu Zheng, the one with the highest cultivation level is only Fourth Grade Deacon, who can't get involved at all.
There is only a big gap between Fourth Grade and Third Grade, but it involves the span from Middle Third Grade to Upper Third Grade.
The gap in strength is far greater than the gap between other realms.
Just then--
Fang Han's brow suddenly moved slightly.
He raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the mine.
"Fang True Disciple?"
Wu Zheng noticed the change in Fang Han's expression and asked aloud.
"What did you find?"
Fang Han did not answer immediately.
He just looked in that direction quietly, and in <Thousand-Mile Soul Lock>'s perception, a powerful aura was approaching the mine from a distance.
Calm, thick, and a little... familiar.
He retracted his gaze, raised the corner of his mouth with a slight arc, and said.
"Wu Elder, a sect member Elder has arrived."
"Zongmen Elder?"
Wu Zheng was slightly startled, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Who is Elder?"
"The person coming is still several miles away. I can only sense that the aura is somewhat familiar. It should be someone Elder in the sect. I don't know who it is specifically."
Fang Han shook his head slightly.
"But with this Elder here, the plan to surround and kill Yuan Ye might actually be successful."
"Let's go out and greet you."
Wu Zheng straightened his robe and strode outside the house.
Fang Han follows closely.
The two came to the entrance of the mine, stood with their hands clasped, and looked towards the road in the distance.
Not long after, a figure appeared at the end of the road.
The visitor came closer, and his figure became clearer in the morning light.
He was an old man, with a thin figure and slightly convex cheekbones, but a pair of eyes that were particularly bright and restrained.
He was wearing a dark blue Elder robe, with cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs with gold thread, and a Plain Longsword hanging from his waist. He exuded a calm and sharp aura.
It is Second Grade Elder, Zhao Mai.
Because Zhao Mai has almost no interaction with him, Fang Han only feels familiar, but does not know who the person is.
"Elder!"
Wu Zheng was the first to come forward and bowed his hands, with a sincere look of joy on his face.
Fang Han also handed over. "Disciple Fang Han, I have met Zhao Elder."
Zhao Mai nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the two people who greeted them in advance, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You know I'm coming?"
He spoke, his voice low and steady.
"Zhao Elder doesn't know. Fang True Disciple has practiced a very clever secret art of smell perception. He can already detect your breath even when you are several miles away."
Wu Zheng glanced sideways at Fang Han and explained with a smile.
"Fang True Disciple."
Hearing this, Zhao Mai turned his eyes to Fang Han, and a trace of scrutiny and surprise appeared in those bright and restrained eyes.
He spoke slowly, with a hint of undisguised appreciation in his voice.
"The strength has improved rapidly. Sword Technique has profound attainments. I didn't expect you to be so involved in the secret arts."
"Elder is so complimentary."
Fang Han looked calm and held his hands slightly.
Zhao Mai didn't say anything more, but the look of approval in his eyes became a little stronger.
Wu Zheng said with a smile, "Elder Zhao came at the right time. There is one thing that needs you to decide."
