Liu Ruyan was even more straightforward, the shock on her face couldn’t be more apparent.

“Junior Brother Han Yi, your strength is truly astonishing, befitting of someone who ranks ninth on the Qian Long List, capable of killing Yuan Beast Sect’s Que Chen, and even his contracted demon, the Golden Beast. It’s simply against the heavens.”

“We also once guessed that it was you, Junior Brother Han Yi, who killed Que Chen, but we didn’t have any concrete evidence.”

A thought crossed Han Yi’s mind.

“How did Senior Sister Liu guess that?”

“Did the Yuan Beast Sect already find out about this as well? Oh right, the withdrawal of Profound Immortal Pavilion from Jinyun Immortal City, was it related to me killing Que Chen? What exactly happened?”

Liu Ruyan glanced at Qin Wuxian, who signaled her to speak. She then told Han Yi about the events of the past year.

A moment later, after Liu Ruyan finished speaking, Han Yi couldn’t help but feel his heart sink.

He hadn’t expected that during this past year, so much had happened in the Xuandan Sect. Some of these events were predictable, while others were completely unforeseen.

More than a year ago.

When Han Yi was cornered and could only flee outside the city, the Daqian Six Ministries in Jinyun Immortal City began a thorough investigation of the cultivators who triggered the chaos.

However, Han Yi used a fake name and appearance, so they couldn’t find any trace of him.

But near the damaged Myriad Immortals Inn, they found the corpse of a dead Golden Core demon cultivator, which was confirmed to be Que Chen’s contracted demon, the Golden Beast.

However, although the Golden Beast was dead, Que Chen had disappeared.

The next day, the Yuan Beast Sect announced that their Supreme Elder Que Chen’s soul tablet in the sect had been shattered, confirming Que Chen’s demise.

As for the cause of Que Chen’s death.

The reason given by the Yuan Beast Sect was that Que Chen had secretly pursued a loose cultivator who had infiltrated their sect, and followed him to Jinyun Immortal City. However, he was unexpectedly ambushed and killed by the loose cultivator. As a result, they offered a bounty for the disguised Han Yi.

From an outsider’s perspective, Que Chen’s death seemed unrelated to the incident at the Profound Immortal Pavilion.

Even the Yuan Beast Sect, in reality, did not know how Que Chen had died.

But since Que Chen was originally in Jinyun Immortal City to sabotage the Profound Immortal Pavilion, and now that he was dead at the same time as the Pavilion’s owner disappeared and the cultivators went mad, they had no choice but to cover up his death with an excuse and secretly send other Gold Core cultivators from the sect to investigate.

This time, the Yuan Beast Sect directly suffered a loss, losing a Master Golden Core.

On the other side.

When Zhuge Wu You arrived at the Profound Immortal Pavilion in Jinyun Immortal City ten days after Han Yi, he negotiated with the Daqian Six Ministries to lift the ban on the Pavilion. Then, from the hidden compartment, he saw the messy papers left by Zhuo Qun.

Yuan Beast, Que Chen.

Later, he questioned the inner sect disciple Tian Chengxu stationed at the Profound Immortal Pavilion in Jinyun Immortal City and learned that Han Yi had appeared that night and asked him some questions.

Considering Han Yi’s appearance that night, his disappearance, the fighting in Jinyun Immortal City that same night, the death of Que Chen’s contracted demon, and the subsequent announcement of Que Chen’s death by the Yuan Beast Sect, a most reasonable guess was born.

It was:

That night, Han Yi changed his appearance, killed the Golden Beast, pursued and killed Que Chen, and afterwards, severely injured, he fled to some place to heal himself.

This was Liu Ruyan and the other high-ranking members of the Xuandan Sect’s guess about the events that transpired that night.

What they didn’t expect, however, was that their guess only covered half of what happened to Han Yi. The second half was even more dangerous, causing Han Yi to be on the run for more than a year, which was simply astonishing.

Furthermore.

After confirming that the Yuan Beast Sect was likely involved, Zhuge Wu You didn’t immediately take action but reported it to the sect’s higher-ups. In the end, after being discussed by several Supreme Elders, they decided to withdraw the Profound Immortal Pavilion’s branch in Jinyun Immortal City.

Not only that, but they also withdrew from the other locations in Qianzhou and Shu State, only keeping the Profound Immortal Pavilion branches in Qian Du and Shu Du.

“So, since the stationed elders withdrew, what about the other senior brothers and sisters?” Han Yi asked after understanding the situation.

This time, Qin Wuxian answered.

“The arrangement of the stationed elders was just an attempt by us to break the deadlock. After Zhuo Qun’s disappearance, we also knew that spreading out and trying to create influence in multiple locations might divert the enemy’s attention but also make us more vulnerable to being individually attacked.”

“There are gains and losses, but at the moment, the losses outweigh the gains.”

“So, after some discussions, the decision to withdraw the stationed elders was made. This decision has already been voted on by the elder council of the Xuandan Sect.”

“In Qian Du, Bai Wanqing and Fei Chao remained, while the other three elders have returned to the sect. In Shu Du, it’s the same – some people stayed, and some returned to the sect.”

Han Yi raised his eyebrows: “Elder Bai also stayed behind?”

Liu Ruyan nodded: “Yes, Bai Wanqing and Fei Chao both happened to have something to do in the Pavilion today and were sent to handle it. They should be back in three days.”

Han Yi nodded, as he had a good relationship with Bai Wanqing. He didn’t want to hear any news of her disappearance. At least, by staying together in Qian Du, they could relatively ensure their safety by grouping together.

“Right, what about the Yuan Beast Sect? Furthermore,” Han Yi looked at Qin Wuxian, hesitated, and continued, “Wanfa Sect is definitely involved in this as well.”

When describing his experiences earlier, Han Yi had already mentioned chasing after Que Chen, eventually catching up with him at the Wanfa Sect’s stationed location and killing him.

For Que Chen to flee to the Wanfa Sect, Han Yi couldn’t believe there was no connection between the two..
