Shen Yuan heard what he said and said to Han Qingyu, “Shall we head out and see what he has to say?”
Han Qingyu nodded her head and stood up from her chair together with Shen Yuan. They walked slowly towards the exit of the gate when Shen Yuan suddenly said to her,
“No matter what happens, don’t leave my side. I have a feeling this place won’t be peaceful for long.”
Han Qingyu nodded her head heavily as she walked closer to Shen Yuan than before.
Soon they reached the gate and looked outside, there were a lot of clan disciples gathered outside together with around half a dozen elders.
Shen Yuan looked at the line-up and said with a smirk, “Wow, I’m honored that the esteemed Han Clan would send so many people to welcome my visit to their clan.”
The Han Clan members’ faces darkened as they heard what he said, one of the elders, who was stronger than Elder Han Yun stepped forward and said,
“You should leave, young man. This is the internal matter of the Han Family. Outsiders need not meddle in it.”
He spoke with a heavy tone looking directly at Shen Yuan. Who only smiled upon hearing him.
He patted Han Qingyu’s head and said, “You see, Han Ming was my sworn brother. So what happens to her sister does matter to me. And from the looks of it, you guys won’t treat her nicely even if I left her with you lot.”
He then turned his head to the side and asked in a gentle tone to Han Qingyu, “Do you want to leave with me, Qingyu?”
Han Qingyu was put in a tough spot as she heard what Shen Yuan said, the elders also glared at her.
She didn’t want to leave the clan as this was the place where she grew up and had made all the memories.
She struggled internally as she looked conflicted, Shen Yuan smiled gently looking at her, and said, “You don’t need to worry about missing this place. You can return here whenever you want, else this place will just remind you of your painful past.”
He stopped patting her head and said in a serious tone, “Sometimes it is better to let go than to hold on to something that will only hurt you.”
Han Qingyu regained clarity in her eyes but before she could reply, the Grand Elder of Han Clan stepped forward, his voice thundered as he said, “Enough! Hand over the Ancestral Seal of the Han Clan before discussing anything further.”
All the other Elders also got ready for a fight as they looked at Shen Yuan warily.
Shen Yuan looked at them with a light smile as his eyes glinted with a hint of coldness, “You think you can order me around? I was being polite before because I wanted to know how you treated Han Ming and Han Qingyu, so don’t give me another reason to send you all to hell.”
All the elders’ faces dropped as they released their cultivation bases, the Grand Elder said, “Young Man, you might be from a prestigious clan but our clan is also a part of Saber Mountain Sect, don’t think that you are untouchable just because of your clan here.”
Shen Yuan brought out a saber as he looked toward the Grand Elder and said, “I alone am enough for a small clan like you, and I don’t belong to any clan.”
The elder faces didn’t change as they couldn’t believe that such a talent could be raised outside of a prestigious heritage.
The Grand Elder coldly spoke, “So be it, if death is what you want, then we will grant you your wish.”
Shen Yuan pulled Han Qingyu to his back and softly said to her, “Just watch how I beat them up.”
He stepped forward with a saber in his hand and said, “Come at me, all of you!”
“Don’t be so arrogant, Young Man!” Elder Han Yun stepped forward, releasing his 5th Stage Origin Core Creation Realm cultivation base.
But his eyes flashed with surprise as he saw Shen Yuan withstanding his pressure without any signs of struggle.
But he attributed it to some of his treasure to withstand pressure. A lot of the Clan’s Successors possess such treasures to not embarrass the clan in front of some seniors.
He brought out his saber and spoke in a heavy tone, “Speak your final wish, brat. You won’t be leaving this place alive.”
He didn’t mince his words like the Grand Elder and spoke his mind. Shen Yuan chuckled lightly hearing his words, he raised his saber and said, “You aren’t worthy enough to kill me.”
Elder Han Yun’s facial muscles twitched as he roared and lunged to attack Shen Yuan, “How dare a mere junior talk back to me?!”
Shen Yuan smirked slightly and thought, ‘So easy to provoke, fucking retard.’
He stepped forward, “Let’s see what you have got for me.”
Shen Yuan also slashed with his saber towards the incoming Elder Han Yun. Their sabers clashed as Elder Han Yun was pushed back from the first exchange while Shen Yuan moved forward to continue attacking him.
He slashed at his waist but Elder Han Yun swiftly moved his saber downward and struck Shen Yuan’s sword again.
‘Should I kill him?’ Shen Yuan thought with a cold expression as he didn’t want to kill Han Ming’s relatives, but after hearing how they treated him and their killing intent towards him, Shen Yuan stopped hesitating and his eyes became firm.
‘Earth Cutting Saber!’ he shouted in his mind as his sword became coated with a dark murky qi as he slashed toward Elder Han Yun’s neck.
Elder Han Yun moved his saber to block the incoming attack. But as soon as his eyes landed in Shen Yuan’s saber, he felt a hint of fear forming in his heart.
Shen Yuan’s sword sliced through Elder Han Yun’s sword and neck like a hot knife through butter.
Elder Han Yun’s decapitated head fell in front of the other elders as they took a step back, even if Han Yun was among the weakest of the elders in the Han Clan, none of the other Elders could kill him this easily except the Grand Elder.

They all looked back towards Shen Yuan with a solemn gaze, when Grand Elder spoke, “Young Friend, we just need the Ancestral Seal of our clan. We don’t want to form any grudge with you.”
His tone became polite when he saw his martial strength, he didn’t want to make an enemy out of such an extraordinary genius. That’s why he even ignored the death of one of the Elders.
Shen Yuan also stopped and began contemplating his decision, but before he could arrive at a conclusion, another voice echoed out from the depths of the Han Clan.
“Who dares to cause a ruckus inside my Han Clan!?” With the voice came a robust middle-aged man.
His body seemed to be filled with strength as his presence felt regal.
He was none other than the current Clan Leader of the Han Clan.
All the Han Clan members kneeled in his direction as they said in unison, “Greetings, Patriarch!”
