When Yan Wuji swallowed up the essence of the last Deacon in the Nether Pavilion branch, it had only been an hour since he started taking action.
Yan Wuji stands in the courtyard of the Nether Pavilion branch, shrouded in a faint blood-colored mist.
That is the phenomenon of swallowing up a large amount of essence and not being able to completely refine it for a while, causing it to overflow.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The rich smell of blood made him feel a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
"Sixty-three people... this is the largest number here."
Yan Wuji whispered to himself.
Including the people from the previous five branches, nearly three hundred Seven Sects warriors died under his hands overnight.
This allowed the energy accumulated in his body to reach a considerable level.
If it is refined and absorbed, it will be enough to increase his cultivation level.
"This... is just the beginning."
Yan Wuji spoke in a low voice, his voice hoarse, with a frightening chill.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure swayed and flew toward the city wall like a ghost.
The city wall, which was more than ten feet high, was useless in front of his master.
With just a slight movement, he crossed the top of the city and fell into the darkness outside the city.
The night wind blew by, blowing the corners of his gray cloth robe and making a hunting sound.
He didn't look back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Leaving a city in panic in White Glow City.
And the mummy that was completely disfigured and drained of essence and blood.
noon.
Fang Han slowly stopped the exercise, and the mysterious aura belonging to <Nether Guide> in his nose gradually calmed down.
After several days of hard training, with the help of Spirit Nose Pill, this top-notch Tracking Secret Technique has made great progress.
It is getting closer and closer to Minor Accomplishment.
In a day or two at most, we should be able to break through to Minor Accomplishment.
He stood up, stretched his aching muscles, and pushed open Quiet Room's door.
The bamboo forest in the courtyard rustled in the breeze, and a few yellowed bamboo leaves swirled and fell.
Fang Han took a deep breath of the crisp air and was about to go to the Side Hall for dinner when he saw Qui Lan running quickly from the direction of the courtyard gate.
Her steps were hurried and her face was a bit nervous. When she came closer, she hurriedly bowed and said:
"Senior brother, the sect master is here to visit and has arrived outside the courtyard gate!"
Fang Han was slightly shocked.
The sect leader actually came in person?
Without any hesitation, he quickly walked towards the courtyard gate.
The mountain breeze blew the corners of his green robe, and the moment he stepped across the threshold, he happened to see a familiar figure standing outside the door.
Chen Tianyuan was dressed in a dark blue robe, with an elegant face, and stood in front of the door with his hands behind his hands.
His expression was as usual, but there was a hint of depression and tension between his brows.
"Sect Master."
Fang Han quickly bowed and saluted.
"If you have anything to do, just let me know to the disciples. Why don't you bother the sect master to come in person?"
Chen Tianyuan waved his hand, his voice gentle but with unquestionable solemnity:
"<Nether Guide>'s cultivation is the most important. I can walk a few steps without getting in the way."
He paused and his eyes fell on Fang Han, with a hint of expectation:
"How have you been practicing these past few days?"
Fang Han straightened up, met Chen Tianyuan's gaze, and said in a steady voice:
"Back to the sect leader, my disciple has already practiced <Nether Guide> to Beginner stage, and now he is not far from Minor Success Stage."
"Beginner stage? Almost Minor Accomplishment?"
Chen Tianyuan's warm eyes suddenly lit up with a cluster of light.
The tense brows quietly relaxed a little at this moment, as if a heavy stone in my heart had been removed.
He nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his voice:
"Okay, very good. In just a few days, you have mastered a top secret technique to the point where you are almost Minor Accomplishment. This understanding is really amazing."
Fang Han was keenly aware that there was a lingering shadow between the sect master's brows, and he asked:
"Sect Master, what happened?"
Chen Tianyuan was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Go in and talk."
He stepped across the threshold.
Fang Han led the way sideways and introduced Chen Tianyuan to Living Room who was waiting in another hospital.
The furnishings in the hall were simple. Fang Han invited Chen Tianyuan to take a seat and poured a cup of tea with his own hands before taking a seat on the pear wood chair at the bottom.
Chen Tianyuan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and put it down.
He didn't look at Fang Han, and spoke slowly, his voice a little deeper:
"Just last night, Yan Wuji attacked White Glow City."
Fang Han's heart suddenly sank.
"My Azure Profound Sect branch in White Glow City... was destroyed."
Chen Tianyuan's voice was very steady, but underneath that calmness was suppressed an undercurrent of anger.
"From bottom to top, disciples, Deacon, Elder, including Zhao Mai Elder who is a Second Grade warrior, a total of fifty-three people, no one is spared."
Fang Han's pupils suddenly contracted.
Fifty-three people, no one spared?
Even Second Grade warrior Zhao Mai Elder was not spared?
Although he and Zhao Mai are not close friends, they have met several times.
Someone you knew died like this?
Died under the magic power of Yan Wuji.
Fang Han The fingers holding the armrest tightened slightly, and the knuckles turned white.
He raised his eyes and met Chen Tianyuan's gaze. His voice was as steady as possible, but still contained a trace of uncontrollable anger:
"Yan Wuji stopped hiding and started attacking the Seven Sects branch. Could it be that his injuries have recovered?"
"He should have recovered. His injury was not as serious as we expected, otherwise he would not have recovered so quickly."
There was a hint of heaviness in Chen Tianyuan's voice.
He paused and continued:
"It's not just me Azure Profound Sect, last night, White Glow City among Vajra Temple, Tyrant Blade Sect, Lingyun Sword Sect, Rain Listening Tower, Hundred Flower Valley, and Nether Pavilion's branches were all attacked and all were bloodbathed by Yan Wuji, leaving no one alive."
Fang Han's breathing stagnated slightly.
Overnight, all branches of Seven Sects in White Glow City were wiped out.
"The sect leaders of the other six sects sent letters of inquiry, asking about your cultivation progress."
Chen Tianyuan said.
"Asking whether you have the ability to track Yan Wuji now."
Fang Han was silent for a moment, weighing it quickly in his mind for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"Back to the sect master, although the disciple has not yet tracked <Nether Guide> Minor Accomplishment, his tracking ability is already above Perfection Realm <Thousand-Mile Soul Lock>. You can try to track Yan Wuji, but..."
He paused, met Chen Tianyuan's gaze, and said truthfully:
"The disciple is not completely sure."
Chen Tianyuan's eyes stayed on Fang Han's face for a moment and said.
"Being targeted by a master who practices magic, Seven Sects is under great pressure... Since you can try to track it, let's give it a try."
Fang Han stood up and solemnly handed over:
"Disciples must do their best."
Chen Tianyuan nodded slightly, his voice low and solemn:
"When you go here, you must be careful and put your own safety first."
He paused, and there was a hint of helplessness and solemnity in his voice:
"I originally wanted Supreme Elder to go with you to prevent unexpected events, but... if Supreme Elder leaves the sect, Azure Profound Sect will have no grandmaster to take charge. Yan Wuji is a cunning and ruthless person. If he takes this opportunity to attack, the consequences will be disastrous."
Fang Han felt a chill in his heart.
He understood the sect leader's concerns.
If Supreme Elder Gu Changqing leaves Azure Profound Sect, and Yan Wuji happens to strike at this time, Azure Profound Sect will probably suffer heavy losses even if it is not destroyed.
"Disciple understands."
Fang Han Gongshou Dao.
"Disciples will act within their capabilities and never put themselves in danger."
Chen Tianyuan took out a palm-sized jade talisman from his sleeve. It was light cyan in color, and its surface was engraved with fine and complex lines, exuding a soft luster.
"Please keep this thing."
He handed the jade talisman to Fang Han with a solemn voice.
"This is Message Jade Talisman. It can be used to send messages over long distances. Even if it is thousands of miles away, the message can arrive instantly."
"The method of use is simple, just inject Internal Qi into it, read the message you want to convey, and the message will be conveyed to another jade talisman."
Fang Han took the jade talisman with both hands, the tentacles were warm, and there was a faint mysterious wave coming from inside.
This is not the first time I have seen this object. I have seen Seven Sects Sect Master use this object before.
Seeing this thing again, I can't help but be surprised. It's hard to believe that this is something that can be possessed in the world of martial arts.
It is completely inconsistent with the inherent impression that he knows how to fly pigeons to carry messages and horses to deliver urgent reports in the world of martial arts.
Chen Tianyuan withdrew his gaze, looked at the autumn sky outside the hospital, and said in a solemn voice:
"If you find traces of Yan Wuji, be sure not to get close. Send a message with a jade talisman immediately. I will contact the other six sects immediately. By then, the master Seven Sects will arrive. No matter how Yan Wuji has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape even if he has wings."
"Disciples must remember this."
Fang Han responded with his hands raised.
Chen Tianyuan said no more, nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the hospital.
The green robe fluttered slightly in the autumn wind, and the steps were calm, yet somewhat composed.
Fang Han stood in front of the steps, watching the figure disappear at the end of the bluestone path, and then looked away.
"Qui Lan."
He spoke, his voice steady.
"Prepare meals as simply as possible and as quickly as possible."
"Yes, senior brother."
Qui Lan bowed in response and walked quickly to the kitchen.
After a while, Fang Han sat down at the Side Hall.
On the table are a plate of beef with soy sauce, a bowl of steaming Blood Rice rice, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
The dishes are indeed simple, but they are exquisitely cooked and fragrant.
Fang Han picked up the chopsticks and ate quickly, but chewed every bite carefully to ensure that the food could be converted into physical strength as quickly as possible.
In less than one stick of incense, he put down the bowl and chopsticks.
He stood up, returned to Quiet Room, hung Cloudsplitter Sword around his waist, and took out a few bottles of Danyao that healed and restored Internal Qi.
Then he went to the kitchen, got some dry food and water, and wrapped it in blue cloth.
Qui Lan was standing in the corridor. When he saw him coming out, he quickly bowed and said:
"Brother, be careful all the way."
Fang Han nodded slightly, without saying anything, and in a flash, he had already swept away several feet.
After a few ups and downs, he disappeared outside the courtyard gate.
After leaving the mountain gate and walking along the official road for several miles, after confirming that no one was around, Fang Han thought slightly, and the package in his hand disappeared out of thin air and was put into Storage Ring.
"Whoosh--"
<Wind God Step> is activated, and the figure in green robe is like an invisible wisp of wind, rushing past in the autumn wilderness.
The scenery on both sides retreated rapidly, and the fields, hills, villages... turned into blurry ribbons around him.
The wind whistled in my ears, bringing with it the dry cold and desolation unique to late autumn.
White Glow City is not close to the Azure Profound Sect. If he were to travel at full speed, even his current Internal Qi would not be enough to support him.
He did not push the speed to the extreme, but maintained an efficient and long-lasting rhythm, which could advance quickly without excessive consumption of Internal Qi.
"Buzz--"
While on the road, Fang Han cast <Nether Guide>.
Although I have been practicing <Nether Guide> in Quiet Room these days, in fact, <Nether Guide> is not a secret skill that can be practiced statically.
As Tracking Secret Technique, it can still operate even when you are in a hurry.
