Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat, revealing a surprised expression on his face: “Master Yuan?”

Fu Canghai nodded: “Let’s go. Judging by your direction, it seems you’re heading to Tong City. If you have important matters in Tong City, do take care of them. But if not, you might as well return to the sect with me.”

Han Yi was originally planning to return to Nanyang County through the Immortal Ship of Tong City. Hearing Fu Canghai’s words, he immediately replied: “For this trip, I plan to return directly to the sect.”

“Good.”

Fu Canghai gave a casual flick of his wrist and an Immortal Boat appeared in his hand. He tossed the boat about three meters into the air. It looked no bigger than an ordinary small boat. He then stepped onto the void and took his place on the Immortal Boat, which was only four meters in length and about two meters in width.

Han Yi gently leapt and landed at the back of the Immortal Boat.

The Immortal Boat soared into the sky, accelerated, then accelerated again. In less than three breaths, the boat had already reached its maximum speed.

What surprised Han Yi was that even though the Immortal Boat was moving extremely fast, there was no trace of the howling wind. Standing on the Immortal Boat, he didn’t even feel it shake. It felt as if he were standing on solid ground.

The colorful mountains and rivers were crossed in an instant.

“Such a precious treasure,” Han Yi desired in his heart.

As if sensing Han Yi’s interest in his Immortal Boat, Fu Canghai chuckled.

“This is the Bitter Sea Immortal Boat produced by the Immortal Pavilion. It’s a mid-grade magical artifact and is quite pricey. No amount of silver-grade magic weapons you sell will be enough to buy such a boat.”

Upon hearing the term ‘silver-grade’, Han Yi’s eyelids twitched. He had long known that Fu Canghai was the patron behind the Nine Dragons shop. Naturally, Fu Canghai would know about his transactions there.

“Master Fu, I have some doubts and I humbly request your guidance,” Han Yi requested with his hands held in a salute.

Fu Canghai nodded, and Han Yi began to voice the doubts he had during this trip, especially about the actions of the Gu family.

Fu Canghai had guessed Han Yi’s doubts and was intending to tell him anyway.

“This matter is complicated.”

As the first sentence came out of Fu Canghai’s mouth, Han Yi’s heart pounded. Something even Fu Canghai found complicated, must indeed be a major problem.

After listening to the explanation, Han Yi’s face had grown extremely grave.

All of this started with the policy of the Supreme Elder of the Xuandan Sect.

Ever since the Xuandan Sect issued this policy, more and more cultivators, especially those from the cultivation families in Nanyang County, Luofeng County, and Taibai County, were tempted. More and more Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators joined the Xuandan Sect.

Consequently, the ones who felt the pressure were naturally the enemies of the Xuandan Sect, the Blood God Sect.

As the twenty-year deadline approached, the Xuandan Sect had taken many actions, and naturally, the Blood God Sect responded frequently.

The root cause of this crisis in the Gu family was the infiltration of the Blood God Sect. However, they didn’t directly lure the Gu family. Instead, they used a corrupt cultivator to sell the Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pill and its raw materials to the Gu family.

The Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pill is a kind of evil pill, with its main effect being to extend one’s lifespan.

However, as Gu Zhijing was at the end of his Immortal Path, he was willing to risk taking this evil pill. According to the evil cultivator, after taking the Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pill, Gu Zhijing could maintain his peak combat strength for another thirty years.

If Gu Zhijing fell, and the Gu family lost a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it would absolutely tumble down. Moreover, due to the pressure from the other two Foundation Establishment cultivator families in Nanhuai City, the Gu family could fall into a serious crisis.

Provided an extra thirty years, he could persist until the Gu family produced another Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

So, he went for it.

As for why they needed a Qi Cultivation Stage Alchemist from the Xuandan Sect to refine the pill, it was just one of the conditions that the evil cultivator made. According to him, he had a grudge against the Xuandan Sect and wished all the disciples of the Xuandan Sect dead.

No matter who the visiting alchemist was and whether or not they helped the Gu family refine the Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pill, this Xuandan Sect disciple who came to the Gu family would, in the end, meet a certain death.

The Gu family knew this reason was a bit far-fetched. They vaguely guessed that there must be deeper reasons behind this. However, for the sake of Gu Zhijing, the Gu family had to take this risk.

Additionally.

When Han Yi had just set foot in the Gu family, Gu Zhijing was actually there. However, as soon as Han Yi arrived, Gu Zhijing left immediately. Additionally, he disguised his physique and aura to be identical to Han Yi’s.

Then, he left Nanhuai City and went straight to Tong City. He intended to create an accident under Han Yi’s identity in Tong City, where he perished and even his corpse was destroyed, in order to cover up the real cause of Han Yi’s death.

This was also what Gu Tongxuan had meant when he said that the Gu family would make Han Yi’s death appear seamless and ensure that the Xuandan Sect couldn’t trace it back.

However, they didn’t expect Han Yi to be more than an ordinary Qi Cultivation beginner. He had killed three Qi Cultivation Peak members of the Gu family with a single sword strike. When Gu Zhijing had finished crafting the false evidence of Han Yi’s death in Tong City and rushed back to Nanhuai City, he was shocked and enraged to find that three members of the Gu family were dead and the Xuandan Sect disciple named Han Yi was nowhere to be found.

From then on, he used his Soul Chasing Skill and followed Han Yi’s trail to this place.

This, then, was the course of events.

The person who was originally supposed to deal with the Gu family’s case was another inner sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator. After all, the issue with the Gu family, being Gu Zhijing being a bit difficult to deal with, was not considered a big deal.

The Blood God Sect secretly caused a lot of trouble, so a matter like the Gu family’s couldn’t possibly be handled personally by Supreme Elder Fu Canghai.

However, due to a twist of fate, Han Yi was given this task. Yuan Shun, who had been attentively following Han Yi’s progress, found Fu Canghai and requested him to descend the mountain and follow Han Yi for this mission.

At first, Fu Canghai didn’t think much of it. But when he saw Han Yi kill three Qi Cultivation Peak cultivators of the Gu family with a single sword, and then, just now, he saw how Han Yi had shattered Gu Zhijing’s top-grade Smiting Tool with a single sword strike, forcing Gu Zhijing to sever his finger….
