Volume 2, Chapter 52 — Wind, Lightning and Fire, Resisting Three Treasures
After having heard Han Ji, Zhang Yan looked at him and said with a smile, ”Senior Brother Han unexpectedly has this Profound Blood Pill. Could it be that you've planned it long ago? Or, you have long known that this place has Blood Soul Sect disciples?”
Han Ji said with a wry smile, ”Senior Brother Zhang has misunderstood. My cultivation has been bogged down for 6 years. And I know it's hopeless for me to advance further in this life. So I have long had the intention to cultivate the Demonic cultivation method. I've spent huge efforts and considerations to obtain a manual from the Demonic Sects. So my original plan was to take this chance to enter the Demon Hole to capture evil spirits and cultivate. Then taking up this pill would increase my cultivation again. But truly, I didn't expect that the Blood Soul Sect's disciple would be here beforehand.”
As if it was to increase his persuasiveness, he took out a book from his sleeve. Holding it by both of his hands, he handed it to Zhang Yan, ”Senior brother, take a look at this. This is the manual.”
Zhang Yan took a glance and read the three words of ”Seeking Essence Cla.s.sics”. He nodded and knew that this cultivation law and technique in the Demonic Sects was of the equal status and comparable to ”Oneness Purifying Breath Manual.”
However, in order to practice this cultivation method, it was necessary for one to completely discard his cultivation from his previous cultivation method and start again from the scratch. For this reason, Zhang Yan could not help but look at Han Ji with some appreciation.
After all, throwing everything overnight for 2 or 3 decades of suffering and hards.h.i.+ps in cultivation for naught, after all, only a few people could harden and steel their hearts to do it.
A trace of a sour expression was revealed on Han Ji's face as he said, ”Now, there are a lot of disciples from the Blood Soul Sect. If I say that I'm of the same origin as them, they won't do anything excessive and make things difficult for me.
Zhang Yan thought and he could say that it was indeed true. If Han Ji were to seek refuge in the Blood Soul Sect, even if they did not accept him, they also temporarily won't do anything to him.
Firstly, The Han Family was one of the Five Great Family in Azure Ocean Sect. Its status was special and could be used in a lot of places. Secondly, Han Ji was familiar and had knowledge about the Azure Ocean Sect's inside story, and even a lot of secrets of the large and influential families which were not easy to inquire about. Thirdly, he and the Han Family had grudges and resentments, he was willing to go as far as discard his own profound cultivation. He also had a Profound Blood Pill to send. These causes and effects were really too big, and people would have to pay for these.
And more to say the least, even if Han Ji's apprentices.h.i.+p was not successful, they also would be unable to receive Profound Blood Pill. And since the Demonic Sect's disciples were able to improve their cultivation base with this 'Evil' pill, those disciples would not be able to resist this temptation. And for Zhang Yan, this premise was but extremely advantageous.
If there was no Dan Transformation Realm cultivator came to this place, Zhang Yan had the confidence that if he lost to anyone in this place, he also had the ability to withdraw promptly. But he did not know how many disciples from the Blood Soul Sect were here and how strong they were. Fortunately, the 15th day of middle of the month would soon come, and Fang Zheng, Xie Zongyuan, and the others would rush toward the Demon Hole's entrance in a group.
He believed that those Blood Soul Sect's disciples also had protection, and they certainly had long prepared to mobilize the disciples. And they certainly would be present there. By that time, both sides will have a fierce and arduous life and death battle.
At that time, he could go to probe and explore. If there was no powerful cultivator amongst the enemies. He can rest peacefully in this place. If there was, then at the worst he would have to desperately struggle at the risk of his life. Whether he could run out of this Demon Hole, he could only see his own good fortune.
When he thought about this, Zhang Yan looked at Han Ji and said, ”Senior Brother Han, are you really determined to do this?”
A firm look was cast on Han Ji's face as he said resolutely, ”Senior Brother Han, you're of a commoner's background, but you can get into the Lower Court, and then become a true disciple. Your feat is a hard to come by incident for hundreds of years. Although I'm inferior compared to you, Senior Brother, but I also have the will and it buoys me up. So how could I not try it instead of resigning myself?”
At this time, a someone snorted coldly outside of the cave, ”Well, well, who was this? It's originally Zhang Yan! You this thief b.a.s.t.a.r.d who plays tricks from behind! And there's also Han Ji. You obediently resign yourself to die, so as to avoid causing more troubles.”
Along with this voice, a middle-aged cultivator with a long and narrow face stepped into the cave.
Han Ji suddenly stood up with eyes full of flare and shouted, ”Han Quande!”
Zhang Yan was sitting still as he saw this person. There was no slightest change in his face. He only said with a sigh, ”You've already left, but why should you come back and throw your life away?”
Upon hearing this, Han Quande burst into laughter and snapped with a stern voice, ”Zhang Yan! You also dare to meddle in the Han Family's matter? No wonder that Junior Brother Feng said that you will be the stumbling block for Ancient Families. It seems like what he said are true, but it’s only half right since you will die here and the obstacles will naturally be gone.”
Junior Brother Feng?
Zhang Yan's eyes squinted. A spiritual light suddenly flashed across his eyes as a Sword Bullet in his hand moved vigorously.
Han Quande turned toward Han Ji and pointed at him, saying, ”Han Ji, it turns out that the Profound Blood Pill is in your hands. Wasn't that stolen by your d.a.m.ned ghost mother? Well, well, someone who comes from small sect and small family background is truly p.r.o.ne to stealing.”
Han Ji's eyes turned bloodshot as he pointed back and bellowed, ”Han Quande, you are only a lowly slave that was bestowed with a surname! What rights and qualification do you have to speak like that to me? You've disgraced my Mother. I vow that today I'll kill you!”
After the inside of the cave was exposed, Han Quande was unable to restrain the changes in his face and was startled as he saw that the 2 people seemed to be ready to strike. The cave was narrow and small, and fighting here would be inconvenient to fully open. He promptly receded backward and directly flew out of the cave and shouted, ”Junior Brothers, let's attack together! Kill these 2 and get the merits when we got back. Master will give us a heavy reward for this.”
2 voices replied from the outside. Zhang Yan and Han Ji went out of the cave together and found 3 men stood mid-air. The man on the left was holding a Wind and Thunder Fork. It was as if crackling electrical flashed on its surface. The man on the right was holding a heavy wooden bowl outlined in gold design trace, and it also looked extraordinary.
