Chapter 51 Insecurity (1/2)

Yin Hanjiang had been buried in the snow for over three months, but his genuine Qi didn’t recover much. He emptied his genuine Qi when he used Burning Sky Drum to counter the heavenly tribulation. If he had ignored the people living near the Wanli ice field and forcibly absorbed the heaven and earth Qi he would have been able to recover to seven or eight points but Yin Hanjiang wasn’t able to do it.

He flew slowly in the air, for more than half a month before arriving at the Underworld Blood Sea.

He discovered that he could absorb chaotic Qi when he wreaked havoc in the Underworld Blood Sea a few months ago. If he wanted to recover his strength, it was best to come here.

Yin Hanjiang slowly climbed up the cliff and looked down, the dark red color made his eyes feel dizzy. He sat weakly at the edge of the cliff, with countless Wen Renhe appearing before his eyes, they jumped down one after another, and gently waved at him asking Yin Hanjiang to accompany them down.

“Without Patriarch Yin, this Venerable is lonely.” One Wen Renhe sat beside him and said gently, “Doesn’t Patriarch Yin want to follow this Venerable for the rest of his life?”

Yin Hanjiang looked at Wen Renhe focused expression and shook his head: “My lord, I would like to accompany you down, but I can’t, you didn’t allow it.”

“Now I do.” “Wen Renhe” said.

“This subordinate still has something left to do.” Yin Hanjiang said softly.

He took out the cracked ghost mask from his storage back and looked at it as if he was looking at his past self.

The “Wen Renhe” beside him also looked at it with him.

“Venerable, do you still remember this mask?” Yin Hanjiang asked.

Naturally, no one answered, because the person next to him was just a figment of Yin Hanjiang’s imagination.

“Do you think your subordinate is a loyal person? Not like Zhong Liqian who is a gentleman, but at least he is upright and quiet?” Yin Hanjiang touched the crack in the mask, his voice extremely restrained: “Not…”

How could a child whose whole family was slaughtered at the age of five and who had been lying in a sea of ​​corpses and blood for several days, just to be picked up by Wen Renhe and then ignored for more than ten years, how could he be open and honest and not resentful?

Before the age of eighteen, Yin Hanjiang had been living a very twisted life. He knew he was saved by a very powerful man, with whom he had very little contact. That person wanted him to be a sword cultivator and he understood that he had to please that person if he wanted to live, so he concentrated on sword training.

But Yin Hanjiang had never said he liked swords.

Before he turned eighteen, he wanted to live, wanted to get stronger, and tried to please that man. After he turned eighteen, he returned to his hometown, met the man who had saved him, and learned that he was called Wen Renhe.

He watched quietly as Wen Renhe led the soldiers to guard his hometown, then the feelings of longing, worship and respect appeared in his heart. Yin Hanjiang longed to be a person like Wen Renhe but he could not do it. Eighteen years had already passed and his character had been formed, he was a dark and twisted person after all.

What Wen Renhe didn’t know was that after each battle, the defeated soldiers who had escaped were captured by Yin Hanjiang one by one, and stabbed to death by him.

He found the mass graves from that year and buried his family members who could no longer be identified by bones and set up monuments. He dragged the bodies of soldiers to the front of the cemetery and burned them one by one, illuminating the whole cemetery.

In the light of the fire, Yin Hanjiang’s expression was dark and even the fiery flames could not warm his body.

After Wen Renhe led the soldiers to drive out the invaders, he drank with many surviving soldiers while Yin Hanjiang secretly hid in the corner to watch him.

All of the people around Wen Renhe were drunk, and he who had sealed his cultivation was also drunk. He drunkenly looked at him who was the only person not drunk and pulled him to drink with him.

Yin Hanjiang blushed after taking a sip of wine from Wen Renhe’s cup, then he fled in confusion. To cover his blush, he took a ghost mask hanging on Wen Renhe’s waist. This was the custom of the border town, to wear a ghost mask to pray for blessings after the battle, to prevent the evil spirits of the invaders from hunting you. During the celebration, Wen Renhe also followed this custom and wore a mask to pray for blessings.

After putting on the mask, Yin Hanjiang suddenly felt relieved that no one could see his expression at this moment and he didn’t have to pretend to be upright anymore.

He hid the mask and secretly wore it whenever he couldn’t fit in.

After pretending for a long time, he really thought that he had become the kind of person that his lord expected him to be and only the presence of this mask kept reminding Yin Hanjiang that he was not.

Now, there was no need to pretend anymore, the person he wanted to hide from had already left.

Yin Hanjiang let go of the mask and the mask full of cracks fell into the sea of blood, turning into nothingness.

He no longer paid attention to the illusion of his lord around him as he summoned the Burning Sky drum, laid down a defensive formation, and sat down on the drum to adjust his breath.

The people of Xuanyuan sect had always thought that the Burning Sky Drum was a top-level immortal weapon, but it was not, it was a divine weapon.

Yin Hanjiang originally did not know this either. Even after cultivating on the Burning Sky Drum for three months he didn’t discover this matter. It was not until the war between the demonic and righteous path when he tried to arouse Wen Renhe’s battle spirit by forcefully drumming the Burning Sky Drum that the Qi in his body was connected with the Burning Sky Drum.

During the 30 years of the sect was closed to outsiders, Shu Yanyan was rewarded with a year of cultivation on the Burning Sky Drum, at the end of that one-year period, Wen Renhe still had no come out of seclusion, and it was Yin Hanjiang that went to the forbidden place to awake the right protector from seclusion and drove her away.

After Shu Yanyan left, Yin Hanjiang jumped into the valley and stood on the Burning Sky Drum, the sound of the battle drums echoing in his ears. He wanted to improve his strength quickly, and cultivated on the drum hoping to hone a more severe sword intent and become the strength of his lord.

Unexpectedly, this time he was unable to improve his strength.

Yin Hanjiang didn’t understand why, when he used the sword cultivation before he was still able to cultivate but now he couldn’t switch to Alkaid sword.

He stared at the Alkaid sword and a voice in his heart seemed to be telling him that this weapon was not right.
