Han Yi nodded, his impression of Guan Di was already a silhouette in his memory.
Moreover, thinking of Guan Di reminded him of Guan Sheng, Guan Di’s uncle, whom he had met more than twenty years ago when he was sent on an external mission to Mengshan City.
At that time, he had just arrived in Mengshan City after traversing through space, and went to the Xuandan Sect’s Pill Shop. Looking back now, Guan Sheng’s attitude towards him was too friendly, and there must have been an ulterior motive. However, Han Yi had reached a point in his life where he was no longer interested in pursuing the matter.
Looking back, it was the events in Mengshan City that established his cautiousness and low profile.
After talking about the recent events in the sect, Han Yi got up and left.
After Han Yi left, Zheng Hai’s relaxed expression faded, and his calm face showed a hint of complexity.
Although he already understood that he and Han Yi were now from two separate worlds, he had refused to accept his fate. However, when Han Yi offered him resources, Zheng Hai suddenly felt a sense of relief.
“Han Yi, the Immortal Path is long and arduous, and I truly wish 1 could see how far you can go with my own eyes.”
With a light sigh, Zheng Hai finally resumed walking.
On the other hand…
Han Yi descended from Little Lingxu Peak and returned to Azure Dragon Peak, only to meet a familiar face as he walked up.
He Fengdi.
He Fengdi was dressed in a dark robe and had just left Azure Dragon Palace. When he saw Han Yi, his eyes flashed.
“Junior Brother Han.”
Seeing that it was He Fengdi, Han Yi replied, “Senior Brother He.”
He Fengdi noticed that Han Yi didn’t seem too formal and didn’t address him as Elder He, but rather as Senior Brother. He smiled, indicating that their relationship hadn’t changed due to He Fengdi’s Foundation Establishment stage advancement.
Indeed, more than two years ago, He Fengdi was already listed among the ten disciples of the third escort plan batch. That time, he successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage and became an elder of White Tiger Peak.
“Junior Brother Han, 1 went to your courtyard some days ago, but found out that you were in closed-door cultivation, so 1 didn’t disturb you.”
“Do you have any important matters, Junior Brother Han? If not, would you like to accompany me to the Ascending Immortal Pavilion for a drink?”
Considering that he had nothing else to do, Han Yi agreed.
A moment later…
The two of them entered the Ascending Immortal Pavilion. He Fengdi even booked a private room, and the private room was on the third floor of the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, which usually catered to Foundation Establishment Elders.
This was Han Yi’s second time entering the Ascending Immortal Pavilion and his first time in the private rooms.
“Today, 1 have the honor of Senior Brother He’s presence to catch a glimpse of the true splendor of Ascending Immortal Pavilion. This is truly an extraordinary honor.”
Han Yi opened the window, and outside, the Cloud Sea was as mesmerizing as ever, with Immortal Qi traces everywhere. A gentle breeze brushed past, revitalizing his spirit.
However, though the Ascending Immortal Pavilion was built on the edge of Azure Dragon Peak, it was protected by formations and, therefore, would not be affected by strong winds.
“What a beautiful view. From here, one can take in the splendid scenery of Xuandan Sect’s vast landscape, with White Tiger in the east, Vermilion Bird in the south, and Black Tortoise in the north. Further away, the peaks of Zhu Rong, Golden Court, Red Sun, Overturned Sea, and Sword Core spread across, competing with one another.”
He Fengdi smiled, knowing that Han Yi’s earlier comment was just a tease.
“Junior Brother Han, your strength is no less than mine. It’s Ascending Immortal Pavilion’s honor to have you here.”
“By the way, Junior Brother Han, your vanquishing of a demon cultivator with a single sword strike in the Stars Sea has already become known among the Foundation Establishment Elders in the sect.”
Han Yi’s expression didn’t change. Two and a half years ago, when he returned to Xuandan Sect, he knew that his demon-slaying feat would certainly spread, at least to the elders of the sect, and perhaps even to most of the inner disciples at the Qi Cultivation Peak stage who might learn about his legendary Qi cultivation strength.
But with his current strength, he no longer feared being coveted by others.
“Senior Brother He is overestimating me.”
Han Yi didn’t say much, only half-closing the window before sitting back down and suddenly having a thought.
“Senior Brother He, I’ve heard that the sect has been rather peaceful in the past two years, with no major events taking place. Do you have any news on this?”
Though Han Yi didn’t mention it explicitly, He Fengdi knew what he was referring to.
His expression turned serious.
“Junior Brother Han, you don’t know the whole story.”
“Although the sect appears peaceful on the surface, strife has been brewing behind the scenes..”
