Chapter 1150: The son-in-law of I, Han Chen (2/2)

Bai Yanqing’s reaction was highly exaggerated. He struggled as he attempted to brea free of the vines gagging him. Seeing this, Gu Qishao hesitated before freeing his mouth.

Bai Yanqing instantly shouted at Han Chen, “Just who are you? You’re lying! All priests of the Snow Wolf Clan were female. In the past, those priestesses married into the Poison Sect. The Snow Wolf Clan has long since stopped existing, so there’s nothing but the Poison Sect in this world! Only the Poison Sect!”

Han Chen finally deigned to look at Bai Yanqing. He was neither angry nor amused, his tone flat. “You’re the direct bloodline descendant of the Poison Sect?”

“Exactly! This old man has inherited the poison storage space!”[2] Bai Yanqing proclaimed loudly.

Han Chen suddenly laughed. It was only a soft chuckle, but that proud and light sound made others feel instantly inferior. Bai Yanqing looked at him as his heart began to waver with dread.

“The Snow Wolf Clan has both Light and Dark priests. The Light Priests worshipped the snow wolves while the Dark Priests worshipped Heaven and Earth. The Light Priests were in charge of all affairs related to the Blood Wolf Tribe while we Dark Priests never got involved with matters of the secular world. When the Snow Wolf Clan was annihilated, our Dark Priests departed to the Mysterious Continent to track down the origins of the Lustbite energy. After generations of hard work, we have already staked out our own territory in the Mysterious Continent and established the Wolf Sect. In comparison, the useless Light Priests were reduced to intermarriage with the Poison Sect and lost everything.”

Han Chen looked at Bai Yanqing before his lips quirked into a smile. In a flash, he was standing in front of the man and bending down to grab him by his collar. Coldly he declared, “Your bloodline is already tainted, so you have no right to holler at this Honorable One. If you don’t shut up, I have ways to kill you even without the Lustbite energy.”

A formless energy emanated from his hand gripping Bai Yanqing, stunning the man into silence. He could clearly sense the invisible power threatening his life. Behind him, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi were equally dumbfounded. Whatever power Han Chen possessed was clearly superior to the Lustbite energy, which was why he could kill Bai Yanqing if he wished.

Gu Qishao croaked, “The Mysterious Continent is located beyond the Ice Sea north of the Wintercrow Clan. It’s a world where martial prowess takes precedence...”[3]

Han Yunxi had never heard of that continent, but Long Feiye had. He once wondered whether the Lustbite energy came from such a place, but now it seemed his guesses were right.[4] In Cloud Realm Continent, Lustbite energy was already considered the strongest form of power, but it probably didn’t even touch the higher ranks of strength on the Mysterious Continent. At most, it’d take a middling rank. Since Han Chen referred to himself as “Honorable One,” he had to hold a high rank in the Mysterious Continent’s Wolf Sect.

Bai Yanqing was so shellshocked that his heart began to tremble, but he couldn’t help but ask, “What is your relationship with Mu Xin?”

Could it be that she betrayed me long ago for this man? That’s why she used the excuse of enmity between the nations to reject me?

Bai Yanqing couldn’t accept such a truth! Back when he was with Mu Xin, he had done his share of crooked deeds, but Mu Xin said she forgave him already! Had she been lying to him? With methods like these?

Bai Yanqing felt like an idiot. Unresigned to the possibility, he hollered, “What’s going on? When did you and Mu Xin meet? Speak!”

“Heheh, earlier than you,” Han Chen replied expressionlessly.

Bai Yanqing froze. Before he could speak, Han Chen hauled him up by the collar and threw him aside. He crashed against the wall and slumped down, unconscious. The simple toss belied the massive strength that Long Feiye and the others could sense.

“What a racket. Take him away,” Han Chen said icily.

A few black-robed men immediately appeared to drag Bai Yanqing out of sight. He might have been nearly insane with rage, but Han Yunxi was still rational. She asked, “You’re lying. You just said meeting my mother was a coincidence, but now you’re claiming you knew her long ago. Which one’s the truth?”

If they knew each other before, why didn’t this guy save Mu Xin if he was so strong? And why didn’t he ever look for me over the past few years?

Han Chen ignored Han Yunxi and walked to a tea table. Puzzled and angry, Han Yunxi chased after him and asked, “What’s going on? If you’re my father, why would you let mother marry into the Han family? Why didn’t you bother with me for all these years? Are you still a man? You have the face to call yourself my father? Were you enjoying yourself, watching Bai Yanqing bullying us?”

Han Chen looked at the woman before him. It was a long time before he finally said, “You’re nothing like me and even less like your mother.”

“You sound as if you know my mother very well,” Han Yunxi said. Her mocking words were meant to probe him for answers.

But Han Chen remained unaffected. He simply said, “Lass, you can consider to have passed the Wolf Sect’s test. Leave now. Find me again in ten years.”

Han Yunxi was going to ask him more questions, but his words thoroughly incensed her. She coldly retorted, “If you don’t tell me what’s going on now, I’ll go to the Mysterious Continent myself. I’m sure the Wolf Sect members know the truth!”

Han Chen’s gaze grew frosty. “Lass, are you threatening me?”

“No, I’m giving you a warning!” Han Yunxi shot back.

1. Han Chen (韩尘) - Chen means “of the mortal coil,” more or less.

2. There’s a bit of Chinese here that doesn’t make sense, talking about “three orders” or “three levels,” so I decided to leave it out. Whatever he meant, he wouldn’t impress Han Chen anyways.

3. In other words, a very typical male MC cultivation kind of power-struggle world!

4. This seems to be a continuity error because GQS clearly suggested the group all run away to the Mysterious Continent while HYX was being threatened by General Mu to become a voluntary hostage. HYX didn’t seem surprised by the mention of the continent then.
