Han Shaolin still smiled subtly, but disciples of the Han Family like Han Jie shuddered in fear.
They felt Han Shaolin’s intent to kill.
“Dear guests, please wait a moment.”
The restaurant owner immediately went to prepare.
Han Shaolin said to several disciples of the Han Family, “I’ll bet with you. If his beef noodles come with green onions, I’ll kill his entire family.”
Sweat.
Han Jie and the other Han Family disciples wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Han Jie thought he was already not a good person, but he didn’t expect Han Shaolin to be even more ruthless.
To annihilate the entire family over a simple disagreement.
Han Jie spoke, “Cousin, during your recent seclusion, a genius emerged in the Immortal Realm who even defeated an Emperor’s Son in the Heavenly Court. Unfortunately, I have some past grievances with him, and I fear he may trouble our Ancient Han Family.”
Han Shaolin was dismissive, “No matter how exceptional his talent, he hasn’t cultivated for long, and he dares to trouble our Han Family? Watch me take his life.”
“Cousin, you don’t know. This person is about to take charge of the Mount Taihua Sacred Land, and moreover, his Dao companion is the Holy Maiden of Guanghan Palace. The heritages of the two Sacred Lands are not something our Han Family can contend with. Not to mention two Sacred Lands, even just Mount Taihua Sacred Land alone has a stronger foundation than our Han Family, otherwise, our ancestor wouldn’t have dared not to kill Lu Changsheng when he was protected by the Taihua Holy Maiden. I heard that Guanghan Palace was also one of the divine palaces in the Ancient Heavenly Court during Ancient Times, with an even more profound heritage…”
“What’s your plan then?”
Han Shaolin, upon hearing that Lu Changsheng was backed by Mount Taihua Sacred Land and Guanghan Palace, had a stern look in his eyes.
No matter how arrogant he was, he knew that a cultivator clan couldn’t provoke two Sacred Lands.
Just Mount Taihua Sacred Land alone had the support of the Lin Family, Jiang Family, Ye Family, and other cultivator clans.
As for Guanghan Palace, being one of the divine palaces of the Ancient Celestial Court, its heritage was unfathomable.
The Ancient Han Family, among the cultivator clans in the Immortal Realm, belonged to a second-tier clan, completely unable to contend with a Sacred Land.
Speaking in a low voice, Han Jie said, “Recently, the Evil Extreme Sect is recruiting strong individuals from the Immortal Realm. Why don’t we join the Evil Extreme Sect in secret? By doing so, we will have a formidable backer.”
Han Shaolin and the other disciples of the Han Family were taken aback.
A disciple of the Han Family said uneasily, “The Evil Extreme Sect? I heard that it’s a demon sect on par with the Blood Sea Palace, its members committing all sorts of evil deeds, attacking various sects everywhere, even daring to strike at the Sacred Lands. Our Han Family, after all, is among the Orthodox Sects, directed by the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Court knows we’re secretly communicating with the Evil Extreme Sect, we might face a calamity.”
Han Jie didn’t think much of it, “Since ancient times, the strong have always prevailed, the law of the jungle. Our Han Family can safely bet on both sides. If the Heavenly Court prevails, our Han Family can still maintain our current status. If the Demon Realm and the Evil Extreme Sect win, our Han Family might even seize the opportunity to expand our power. Why wouldn’t we want that?”
“Han Jie makes a good point.”
Han Shaolin, more audacious, approved Han Jie’s idea.
With the support of Han Shaolin, Han Jie was bolder, “The Evil Extreme Sect is stronger than we imagined. It is said that there are several Demon Lords backing it. In my view, the Immortal Realm might be changing hands, and our Han Family should board the ship early. Otherwise, with our Han Family’s power, it will be hard to be valued by the Evil Extreme Sect.”
“This matter probably needs to be reported to the various ancestors for them to decide.”
“With your current cultivation level, cousin, you’re bound to take over the family soon. Why bother consulting the ancestors? I know people in the Evil Extreme Sect, I can do the introductions.”
“Alright, then it’s up to your arrangements.”
Han Shaolin drank a cup of fine wine, his gaze fierce.
Secretly aligning with the Evil Extreme Sect, though risky of being discovered by the Heavenly Court, was also a chance.
If the Demon Realm won, the Han Family could still use their relationship with the Evil Extreme Sect to strengthen themselves.
“Dear guests, the divine beef noodles are here.”
The owner personally brought up a bowl of divine beef noodles.
The divine beef noodles, worth ten thousand Immortal Stones per bowl, were fragrant and steaming.
Several disciples of the Han Family fixated on the divine beef noodles.
This bowl of divine beef noodles, it had no green onions.
Han Jie smiled and said, “Cousin, looks like you have to hold back this time.”
With a cold snort, Han Shaolin flipped over the mahogany table and the divine beef noodles with a palm, “I don’t eat beef.”
Boom!
With another palm strike, a mountainous force destroyed nearly the entire restaurant, turning hundreds of cultivators and mortals into ashes.
The disciples of the Han Family shuddered with fear.
Han Shaolin was truly ruthless, immediately finding an excuse to kill everyone here except for the Han Family.
All those who spoke ill of Han Shaolin died in unfortunate ways.
Han Jie was sweating profusely, thinking that the Evil Extreme Sect might place great importance on Han Shaolin.
The Evil Extreme Sect was originally established by a group of demons who committed all kinds of evil and took pleasure in wrongdoing. They felt uneasy if they didn’t do something bad in a day, and would even kick a stray dog they encountered on the road.
Those in Blood Sea Palace were either demon chiefs bent on quick success or traitors from various Holy Lands, whereas the Evil Extreme Sect embodied pure evil-doers.
As if nothing had happened, Han Shaolin led Han Jie and several disciples away from Astonishing Dragon City to the secret headquarters of the Evil Extreme Sect.
“Sister, how did that tavern get destroyed?”
Ning Qianqian pointed to the collapsed tavern.
She and her sister Lu Qinglian had descended the mountain to wander and do good deeds. Upon arrival in Astonishing Dragon City, they detected a strong burst of energy that had leveled the tavern to the ground.
“There must have been someone committing crimes and misdeeds; we should follow them.”
Lu Qinglian, holding a skewer of candied hawthorn, was eager to join the excitement upon seeing something happen.
Although Lu Qinglian was fond of creating trouble, after years of cultivation with Lu Changsheng, she had also acquired some skills.
Using a Stealth Talisman, she led Ning Qianqian and stealthily followed behind Han Shaolin, Han Jie, and the disciples of the Ancient Han Family.
The members of the Ancient Han Family did not realize they were being followed; instead, under the lead of Han Jie, they came to a mountain range shrouded in mist and clouds.
Within this mountain range, there were actually thousands of Demon Palaces.
“The power of the Evil Extreme Sect is so formidable; they even have branches within the territory of our Ancient Han Family, and we knew nothing about it.”
Han Shaolin was secretly shocked.
Han Jie laughed and said, “This is just the tip of the iceberg for the Evil Extreme Sect. The Hall Master here is merely at the Great Accomplishment in the Immortal Emperor Realm. Some of the more powerful branches are even overseen by Divine Kings.”
Han Jie brought Han Shaolin to the main hall.
Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian, courageous and skilled, quietly followed these people, infiltrating the branch of the Evil Extreme Sect.
Each of the Evil Extreme Sect’s palaces bore the Black Flame Qilin Totem.
“This is the symbol of the Evil Extreme Sect. My fourth junior brother was once chased by the Evil Extreme Sect and almost lost his life… Hmph, they dared bully my juniors, Lu Qinglian. Watch me level this place.”
Lu Qinglian warmed up, ready to take action.
Ning Qianqian held back Lu Qinglian, “Sister, they have the advantage in numbers, and there might even be a Mountain Protection Array. Let’s observe a bit longer first.”
Over the years, Ning Qianqian had grown into a slender and elegant young woman with long purple hair, resembling a Human Race girl, except for her light purple pupils.
As members of the Dragon Clan grow with their long lifespans, they develop not only their cultivation but also their intellect.
Ning Qianqian was even more level-headed. If she hadn’t held back Lu Qinglian, Lu Qinglian would have gone on a killing spree.
“Don’t worry, I have the treasure bestowed by master.”
Lu Qinglian patted her left arm, where a device designed to launch Storm Pear Flower Needles was strapped.
Indulging his beloved disciple, who was like his child, Lu Changsheng temporarily lent the Storm Pear Flower Needles to Lu Qinglian when she left the mountain.
The Storm Pear Flower Needles were among the rare magical treasures that could exert most of their power even at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
With the Storm Pear Flower Needles, Lu Qinglian could trap and kill opponents even at the Divine King Realm.
However, given Lu Qinglian’s trouble-making nature, Lu Changsheng only provided her with silver needles that were not contaminated with Devouring Heaven Demon Poison.
Even without Devouring Heaven Demon Poison, the Storm Pear Flower Needles were still Fourth Grade Taoist Instruments, enough to kill most formidable enemies.
While Lu Qinglian and Ning Qianqian were talking, Han Shaolin succeeded in meeting the Hall Master of the Evil Extreme Sect here.
“So, it’s the eldest young master of the Han Family, a very warm welcome.”
The Hall Master of the Evil Extreme Sect, seeing Han Jie bringing Han Shaolin, was overjoyed.
Han Shaolin’s reputation was widespread; even this Hall Master of the Evil Extreme Sect felt inferior to his deeds.
In the Evil Extreme Sect, the more heinous a person was, the more respected they were, completely reversing conventional moral values.
With Han Shaolin’s temperament, he even had the potential to become the Vice Sect Master.
Suddenly, the expression of the Hall Master of the Evil Extreme Sect changed: “How did two little rats follow us in?”
