Chapter 92: Primary Medicine
Elder Han did not become angry and was unflustered as he continued to pour himself a cup of tea, moving aside the white hair covering his face, lifting the tea cup to gently sip.
In this moment, Ye Fan felt a bone-chilling cold.
Elder Han’s fingers were like strips of iron, dried up and only old skin was wrapped around his finger bones. As he shifted the hair from his face, the exposed face made one’s goosebumps stand on end, like a piece of waste paper that was kneaded and wrinkled, many creases without any lustre. What was most eerie were his gums and teeth that were exposed from his thin lips, completely black without any sign of blood or life, even his tongue was dried up.
“Follow me and let’s head off together.” Elder Han finished the cup of tea before gently placing it down, talking in an unflustered manner, his voice not containing a single ounce of vitality.
Ye Fan really wished to send the golden book flying out but he did not act rashly, he knew deep down that the difference between cultivators of different realms was simply too wide.
“Elder Han, acting in this manner aren’t you afraid of the wrath of heaven? Using a living person to make medicine, even if it were people from the same sect, I’m afraid they would not be able to tolerate this……” Ye Fan talked while trying to think of a plan to cope with the situation, if he really fell into the others’ grasp, that would certainly be more frightening than death.
“I’ve long made preparations, no one will know of this.” Elder Han was like a piece of dried up wood as he silently sat opposite him, his calm demeanour seemed to become more sinister and frightening.
Ye Fan took out the jade pendant that elder Wu Qing Feng had given to him and replied: “If you kill me, elder Wu Qing Feng will know.”
Elder Han gently waved his finger and a sinister aura pressured down, thereafter the piece of jade disintegrated with a ‘Bang!’, the piercing cold did not disperse for a long time.
Elder Han said indifferently: “This place is thousands of miles from the Ling Xu immortal sanctuary, I’ve destroyed the jade but elder Wu Qing Feng will not have any inkling of this.” Having said this, he laughed sinisterly: “Thinking about it, you’re actually quite astute for a young fellow, back then I lightly patted you and secretly left a mark on you, wanting to catch you in the future. Who knew that you would actually take off so quickly and run out of my perception radius, only being found by me today.”
“You damned old fogey……”
“We should leave.” Elder Han stood up, the people in the restaurant avoided him like a malicious spirit as they opened a path for him.
Ye Fan was as nimble as a panther and wanted to escape from the window.
“Why bother doing such useless actions.” Elder Han stretched out a dried up palm as he restrained Ye Fan, using an immense amount of force to drag him down the restaurant.
Different realms were separated by a chasm that was a moat between heaven and earth, simply impossible to overcome and Ye Fan’s heart was in shock, the other party had restrained him and he could not gather any strength in his body.
Arriving outside the city, elder Han mumbled: “I’ll go visit an old friend first, he previously agreed to help me collect various spiritual medicines, now that I think about it the timing is about right. Since I’ve found the primary medicine, once I’m back I can sacrifice it in the cauldron to refine the medicine.”
Ye Fan quietly gazed at the sky, he was looking for the figure of the Jiang Family horseman, he would rather be killed by the Jiang Family than be refined into medicine while alive.
Half a day passed and the sun was setting, elder Han brought Ye Fan into a mountainous region and they were almost reaching their destination.
“Why isn’t the horseman from the Jiang Family appearing……” Ye Fan was feeling extremely anxious.
“The enemy is here……” Elder Han rushed into a valley as he shouted, the rumbled noise reverberated through the mountains.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the sky as it swiftly rushed to this area. The horseman of the Jiang Family had always been within the area, attracted by the noise he swiftly rushed over.
The horseman was extremely strong and released a frightening killing intent and battle hunger, his entire body was covered in armour and the ferocious beast he was riding on rushed down, causing a gale to form which sent the surrounding vegetation flying away.
“Who goes there?” Elder Han pulled Ye Fan as he swiftly retreated.
At the same time, from the valley came an old man with flowing white hair whose face looked treacherous, one look and a person could tell he was not a good person.
“Leave this youth behind!” The horseman of the Jiang Family was extremely cold as his gaze swept past elder Han and the old man who walked out from the valley.
Elder Han could feel the strength of the other party but he still decided not to let Ye Fan go as he rushed towards the old man at the entrance of the valley shouting: “Quickly, assist me!”
“Chi!”
The horseman of the Jiang Family acted decisively as a streak of bloody light slashed through the air, it was a blood coloured metal spear that released a bloody light, it was unknown how much blood it had soaked from countless cultivators as it released a frightening energy fluctuation.
“Klang!”
Elder Han released a green wooden ruler as a jade light flashed, colliding but instantly being sent flying away. His entire person trembled as he pulled Ye Fan and swiftly retreated, rushing towards the entrance of the valley.
At this moment, the old man at the entrance of the valley acted, releasing a bronze mirror as it shone, dazzling lights emitted from the mirror and shot towards the horseman of the Jiang Family.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
At the same time, Elder Han released twelve green wooden swords which flew out in a profound manner, locking down all directions and trapping the horseman within.
“Child’s play!” The horseman did not have any fear on his face as he urged his mount into the sky, dodging the rays from the mirror as the blood coloured metal spear swept away the twelve green wooden swords.
“This person is too strong, don’t hold anything back, get rid of him!” Elder Han was extremely nervous and sealed Ye Fan’s abilities while tossing him into the valley.
