Looking at this group of high-ranking warriors, Shen Han had a strange feeling.
Back in Great Wei, he survived under the hands of Immortal Realm enemies.
After coming to this region, he still maintained that cautiousness.
Yet those arrogant, conceited people, their strength is only this...
That Sect Leader of Taihang Sect, Spiritual Harmony Realm, 5th Layer, the pressure emanating from him.
At most, he’s only a Fifth Grade First Snow Realm.
If it were just the First Layer of the Spiritual Harmony Realm, it might be sowhat like a Sixth Grade Fruit Realm.
The top powerhouses of the Seven Sects and Sixteen Countries, their ability is only this...
If it’s the younger generation with this ability, it’s not bad.
When Taihang Sect Leader Sun Qing appeared, the tension on the face of the Sovereign of Jiuxiao eased considerably.
Spiritual Harmony Realm, 5th Layer, in the Seven Sects and Sixteen Countries, it’s already considered upper-tier strength.
Facing Blood Moon Sect, there should be so say.
In the back of the crowd, Yan Yun looked anxious and tugged at Shen Han’s sleeve.
"Young Master Shen, we should leave here first...
If father can’t find us later, we might escape punishnt..."
Her expression carried a hint of pleading, but Shen Han shook his head: "You can leave first if you want, I want to observe for a while."
Seeing Shen Han unwilling to leave, Yan Yun hesitated for a mont but still didn’t leave.
Only her eyes still filled with anxiety.
Taihang Sect Leader Sun Qing walked to the front and gently stroked his white beard.
Seemingly aware of his immortal deanor.
"Blood Moon Guardian, the Seven Sects and Sixteen Countries have existed in the Northern Mountain Domain for over a hundred years. Though occasional conflicts occur, we shouldn’t force Jiuxiao Country’s collapse.
Listen to my advice, take so benefits and let’s drop this."
Upon hearing Sun Qing’s words, Blood Moon Guardian chuckled softly.
"I knew Sect Leader Qing would intervene, but I’m sorry, this ti, we have allies.
Those wanting to destroy Jiuxiao Country are not just us."
As they spoke, a middle-aged woman with a sword arrived, stepping on a peculiar magical artifact.
Seeing her arrival, everyone’s expression subtly changed.
The face of the Sovereign of Jiuxiao instantly paled: "National Preceptor of Jincheng Country, Pu Chunchun..."
"Sect Leader Qing, Jiuxiao Country now has lost its significance.
Lacking Spiritual Harmony Realm strongholds, the country’s defensive magical artifacts are damaged.
Letting them occupy such a vast, fertile land is a waste, isn’t it?"
National Preceptor Pu Chunchun’s strength had already reached the 6th Layer of the Spiritual Harmony Realm years ago.
With her intervention, the matter beca several tis more troubleso.
But for Sun Qing, he couldn’t accept swallowing Jiuxiao Country.
If that happens, Taihang Sect would neighbor Blood Moon Sect and Jincheng Country.
He wouldn’t be as relaxed as he is now.
"National Preceptor Pu, Qing reiterates my previous stance.
We can demand more benefits from Jiuxiao Country, Qing has no objection to that.
But to swallow Jiuxiao Country, Qing really cannot accept it."
Pu Chunchun listened to these words and waved her hand dismissively.
"It seems, I must exchange a few moves with Sect Leader Qing."
For a mont, it felt tense as if poised for conflict.
Sun Qing knew he might lose slightly to Pu Chunchun, but in the duel, he could make Pu Chunchun understand his resolve.
Realizing her potential losses could outweigh her gains, Pu Chunchun would reconsider.
As tension rose, a robust man suddenly leaped from afar.
When he landed, the ground seed to tremble.
Lion King Sect Leader, Hu Kuang...
Already filled with strong figures, one more joined in.
"Lion King, what, are you also interested in Jiuxiao Country?"
Pu Chunchun frowned; if Hu Kuang from Lion King Sect contested as well, she planned on retreating imdiately.
Hu Kuang, Seventh Layer of the Spiritual Harmony Realm.
His strength ranks second among the experts of the Seven Sects and Sixteen Countries.
Lion King Sect also stands as an Upper-Rank Influence.
If he planned to swallow Jiuxiao Country, the Sovereign of Jiuxiao wouldn’t even dream of resistance.
"Lion King, Lion King Sect is three thousand miles away, Jiuxiao Country’s territory, you likely cannot manage it?"
Hu Kuang stepped forward, his current mood seed unusual.
"I, Hu Kuang, had a child late in life. My wife endured hardships to birth Hu He.
For this, she truly suffered.
Jiuxiao Country, I, Hu Kuang have no interest.
I co only to seek justice for my child.
To unearth the villain who hard him and let them experience how Lion King Sect tornts people."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized.
The Young Master of Lion King Sect died.
Likely within Jiuxiao Country.
As these words fell, a guard behind Hu Kuang dragged a middle-aged man to the front.
From a distance, the face of the Sovereign of Jiuxiao instantly turned pale.
This man was clearly the guard of Jiuxiao Country, Shan Qin...
"My son Hu He left Lion King Sect three days ago, and I heard he bought a woman from this man.
After arriving at your Jiuxiao Country, since yesterday, there’s been no trace of him.
An hour ago, I found my son’s corpse.
His death was grueso, his expression terrified, seemingly tortured to death.
Debts have culprits, I, Hu Kuang, am domineering but will not harm innocents."
Hu Kuang extended his foot and stomped on the hand of Guard Shan Qin.
With one step, his hand was crushed.
The hand bones shattered, blood splattered.
"It’s the Sixteenth Princess, I sold her to Young Master Hu He and then left straight away...
Lion King, please see, I’m truly not the one who hard Young Master Hu He."
Upon hearing about the Sixteenth Princess, the Sovereign of Jiuxiao hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly bring that troublemaker Yan Yun here, hurry, hurry!"
Since Hu Kuang appeared, Yan Yun had already panicked.
Seeing her in distress, Shen Han instructed her to escape.
But with her limited strength, she had just barely entered the Eighth Grade.
In less than a quarter of an hour, she was captured and brought back.
The guards threw Yan Yun to the ground.
The Sovereign of Jiuxiao imdiately approached: "Lion King, this troublemaker is yours to handle as you please, whatever you want to do with her is up to you.
We, the others in Jiuxiao, are truly unaware of this incident.
We absolutely have not interfered..."
The Sovereign’s face was anxious; he even thought of awarding Yan Yun imdiate execution.
But Hu Kuang, the Lion King, slowly crouched down and gently brushed Yan Yun’s hair.
"My son Hu He may be incompetent, but he has the strength of the Spiritual Qi Realm; you don’t have the capability to assassinate him.
Moreover, he had guards with the Peak of Spiritual Qi Realm strength by his side.
Speak up, who was it that acted?
If you don’t tell, the Jiuxiao royalty will perish together."
Hu Kuang spoke coldly, confident in his ability to destroy the entire Jiuxiao royal family.
Upon hearing this, the Sovereign beca even more frantic.
He wanted to kick Yan Yun, but fearing her wrath that could drag everyone down to death with her, he began to speak softly.
However, Yan Yun seed sowhat Desperate Intent: "I killed Hu He, the fatal wound on his chest was from my stab."
Upon hearing this, Hu Kuang looked down at Yan Yun.
"His hands and feet were pierced by swords, pinning him to the ground.
Even if you attacked my son, it was with the help of a strong person.
Speak up, who was it?
Tell , and I’ll make your death swift, I won’t torture you."
Hu Kuang’s persuasion seed futile, as Yan Yun stubbornly claid she killed Hu He.
"It seems I’ll have to resort to torture."
The Lion King Hu Kuang slowly stood up, ready to take action, prepare for punishnt.
At this mont, Sun Bufan from Taihang Sect stepped forward.
"Lion King, earlier there was a man nad Shen Han by the Sixteenth Princess’s side.
She casually ntioned that Shen Han is her savior, and his strength has entered the Spirit God Realm."
Upon hearing this, Hu Kuang’s expression turned solemn.
The possibility of soone in the Spirit God Realm being responsible for his son’s tragic death increased significantly.
"It wasn’t him, he has nothing to do with it..."
Yan Yun knew her fate was sealed; she didn’t want to drag Shen Han down with her.
After all, she had seldom received kindness...
Yet at this mont, the Lion King paid her no mind.
He stepped forward.
"Who is nad Shen Han? Step forward!!"
A shout of anger surprised everyone.
Those with weaker strength even had their ears deafened by the roar.
The Sovereign of Jiuxiao imdiately went to search.
This ti, he didn’t exert much effort.
Shen Han was right among the crowd, watching everyone’s performance.
Without waiting for the Sovereign to capture him, Shen Han had already stepped forward.
Ignoring everything else, he helped Yan Yun up: "In the future, you can trust a bit more."
Shen Han spoke calmly; the big shots in front of him didn’t exert any pressure on him.
Seeing Shen Han’s tranquil deanor puzzled the crowd.
"Was it you who hard my son?"
"Yes, I can’t stand such vile acts, they’re rather disgusting."
Shen Han took Yan Yun aside, with her entirely bewildered at this mont.
She couldn’t understand how Shen Han dared to speak that way to the Lion King.
That was a Spiritual Harmony Realm powerhouse.
The Sect Leader of the Lion King Sect, Hu Kuang, was enraged beyond reason, yet he chuckled.
"If you can’t stand such deeds, you should gouge out your own eyes, not lay a hand on my son.
You know, even if you died a hundred tis, it wouldn’t bring my son back."
Hu Kuang’s anger had reached a peak.
"The only option is to let you suffer a year of tornt to honor my son’s spirit."
As he spoke, Hu Kuang made his move.
Though he appeared robust, his movents were exceptionally agile.
"I want you to wish for death rather than a life!"
The Lion King’s wrath was too much for mortals to bear.
Onlookers couldn’t help but show a trace of fear.
Such was the oppression of the Seventh Layer Spiritual Harmony Realm, seeming to weigh a person’s body down.
Not far away, the Sovereign of Jiuxiao looked more tense than ever.
Now he only hoped that Hu Kuang’s anger would dissipate after dealing with Shen Han and Yan Yun.
Please, may it not involve others from Jiuxiao.
With a swipe of the hand, a fierce claw appeared, as fierce as a lion.
In his rage, even the Sect Leaders, National Preceptors, and Guardians present unconsciously took several steps back.
As the claw attacked, Hu Kuang believed he controlled his strength well.
He wouldn’t let Shen Han die imdiately; he wanted to tornt Shen Han.
But suddenly, as the claw attack flashed.
The imagined scene of Shen Han pinned to the ground did not occur.
Instead, a Sword Shadow with a blue glow directly pierced Hu Kuang’s claw.
Just like his son, pinned to the ground.
The scene before the viewers made them wonder if they were seeing things...
Rubbing their eyes, Lion King Hu Kuang remained pinned by the sword shadow...
