Inside the courtyard, Mu Han's face was gloomy. He took a deep breath of the cold air, put away the jade bottle in his hand, and then his venomous eyes instantly fixed on Mo Zhai, causing the latter to feel a chill run down his spine.
A withered hand, resembling a ghostly claw, suddenly appeared out of thin air, its palm surging with suction. Mo Zhai was not far away, was immediately thrown out of control, and then the former grabbed his neck.
"Tell me! Where is Yan Xiao now?!"
Mu Han's tone was icy, and every word carried immense killing intent. If Xiao Yan were in front of him right now, he would probably have already been torn to pieces and reduced to ashes.
But this murderous intent was exactly what Mo Zhai wanted.
With great effort, Mo Zhai clung to Mu Han's hands, which were gripping his wrists. He had gestured for the latter to release him, but the result was the same; Mu Han remained cold and indifferent. Therefore, Mo Zhai could only hold on tightly to Mu Han's wrists to barely manage to speak.
"Uh... Xiao Yan... is... in... the Wilderness..."
"Bang!"
Before Mo Zhai could finish speaking, his body was violently thrown out by Mu Han, crashing through the courtyard wall and scraping along the ground for a distance before finally stopping after smashing a boulder.
The terrifying force shattered nearly a third of Mo Zhai's bones. Although this did not cause any real serious injury to the Three-Star Half-Emperor, it still made Mo Zhai's face turn pale.
"Snort!"
Mu Han narrowed his old eyes slightly, slowly shifting his gaze from Mo Zhai. With Mu Han's shrewdness, no matter how much Mo Zhai said about Wu Mohui's death, he would never fully believe it. Although he believed that Xiao Yan was the one who killed him, Mo Zhai was also implicated, and Mu Han would naturally not let him off easily.
Mu Han was well aware that what he had just done could not cause Mo Zhai much harm, but he would not let Mo Zhai go. For him, this was just the beginning. He believed that Mo Zhai would still ask him for help in the matter of Yan Xiao. So he would play along and, after eliminating Yan Xiao, he would personally kill Mo Zhai as well, to avenge his beloved disciple!
When Yan Bing and the other two saw Mu Han looking at them, Zhang Hao, being the weakest, naturally hid behind Yan Bing. Although Old Monster Hu was also terrified by Mu Han's gaze, he couldn't rely on anything like Zhang Hao. As cold sweat poured down his body, he also stole a glance at Yan Bing from the corner of his eye.
Compared to Old Monster Hu, Yan Bing truly lived up to his reputation as Peak of the Late Eight-Star Half-Emperor Stage, practically a step into the Nine-Star realm. When he looked at Mu Han, he exuded some confidence, though it was far better than Old Monster Hu's. Yet, his deep solemnity once again surprised people with Mu Han's strength.
"You lot, take me to find Yan Xiao! Today, I will avenge my disciple!"
Mu Han stared coldly at Yan Bing and the other two, completely ignoring the expression on Yan Bing's face, and spoke in a tone that seemed to be a command.
As the strongest person in the arena, he had the power to say such things, and no one would refute him, nor would anyone dare to, not even Yan Bing.
Right now, in Mu Han's mind, Xiao Yan has become the number one person he must kill. At this moment, he is acting swiftly and decisively, and as soon as he speaks, he is eager to make Xiao Yan appear in front of him so that he can kill him.
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Hu and Zhang Hao were slightly surprised, while Yan Bing remained expressionless. None of the three reacted to Mu Han's words.
Old Monster Hu frowned slightly. Mu Han's desire to kill Xiao Yan was something everyone wanted to see, but Xiao Yan wasn't so easy to kill. With the Alchemist Guild and the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion at their disposal, even if Mu Han was Third-Tier Formation Master and Nine-Star Half-Emperor, these things were still useless against the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
Not enough!
Now that Xiao Yan is under their protection, who among them can possibly harm Xiao Yan?
Not to mention, Xiao Yan also has the connection of Elder Luo behind him!
Although Mu Han was unaware of these matters, Mo Zhai could have easily used this opportunity to have Mu Han directly attack Xiao Yan Xiao Yan eliminate him as soon as possible. However, doing so would have resulted in all of them losing their lives along with Mu Han.
The authority of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion cannot be violated, even if Mu Han is Nine-Star Half-Emperor.
Although Mu Han is known as the second strongest person in the Ancient Wilderness City by the people of the Wilderness, that is without mentioning the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
"Ahem... Master Mu, I'm afraid we cannot grant you this request..."
Mo Zhai was like an unkillable cockroach, knocked down time and time again, getting up again and again, only to be defeated by Mu Han in the end.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Mo Zhai uttered those words, he felt a sudden gust of cold wind sweep past him, and then, Mo Zhai's body was once again uncontrollably blasted away.
"If you say another word, I'll kill you first!"
"Can..."
As soon as Mo Zhai opened his mouth, Mu Han flashed forward, his withered hand grabbing Mo Zhai's entire head. With a burst of force, he left five deep finger marks on Mo Zhai's head. If Mu Han exerted force again, Mo Zhai's entire skull would explode like a watermelon.
"You're courting death! Don't blame me for being ruthless..."
Mu Han's eyes were icy cold. Apart from Yan Bing, everyone else present was useless, and he didn't need to care about anyone.
" Elder Luo..."
Mu Han's expression finally changed the moment those two words were uttered. "Elder Luo," that was an absolute name.
"With Elder Luo behind Yan Xiao, none of us can touch him before entering the Void Lightning Pool. None of us can kill him, nor would we dare to."
At this moment, Mu Han's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yan Bing. These words were spoken by him.
With a disdainful look, Mu Han glanced at Mo Zhai in his hand. His eyes were full of contempt. He loosened his grip slightly, and just as Mo Zhai's body was about to fall, Mu Han suddenly slammed his arm into Mo Zhai's abdomen.
With a loud thud, Mo Zhai's figure completely turned into a puddle of mud, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to get up.
Then, Mu Han looked at Yan Bing again. Although his tone was still cold, it was a clear change compared to his attitude when facing Mo Zhai.
"Tell me everything you know about Yan Xiao, the most complete information possible, including his exact identity. You should understand how important that is..."
"You're also wary?"
Yan Bing looked at Mu Han, a cold smile playing on her lips, and said.
"Some people, even those backed by powerful figures, are still untouchable..."
Mu Han narrowed his eyes slightly and warned in a deep voice that he had not gotten to where he was today by being reckless.
"Heh... You can rest assured, he doesn't have any special identity. He just befriended Elder Xuan of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion and incidentally gave Elder Luo a piece of Xuan Iron as a token of respect. That's all. Their relationship has always been purely transactional."
Mu Han's eyes lit up slightly. He was somewhat skeptical of Yan Bing's words, but ultimately nodded and said calmly:
"That would be best..."
