Chapter 701: Chapter 679: The Impact of the Incident
When Elder Ding said this, Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang’s eyes lit up for a moment.
"Is the Sect going to act against Shen Han?"
Seeing their excited expressions, Elder Ding tapped their heads.
"Focus on your cultivation; don’t ask what you shouldn’t.
Even if the Sect decides to act, it won’t be merely to vent anger.
Think about it, if Tiger Peak Manor comes to seek our help, and we then aid them.
Wouldn’t that be far better than you rushing to assist?
The Sect’s actions must definitely bring benefits."
Hearing Elder Ding, the two young men smiled and nodded.
They were indeed quite young and hadn’t thought of these things at all.
On the Five Immortals City side, upon hearing that Shen Han had once again slain several members of Tiger Peak Manor, the Sect was somewhat astonished.
The Vice Sect Leader of Five Immortals City actually felt quite guilty.
No matter what, Shen Han held the title of a direct disciple of Five Immortals City.
Yet, experiencing such calamities, Five Immortals City provided no assistance whatsoever.
He had previously thought, if Shen Han were caught by Tiger Peak Manor, he would petition for leniency.
Perhaps he could lessen Shen Han’s sufferings, but only by a small measure; saving Shen Han’s life was certainly impossible.
But this news came as quite astonishing.
Though Tiger Peak Manor’s members were few, their strength generally surpassed other sects.
Even Tiger Peak Manor’s guards were stronger than most others.
Yet, four guards were slain this time.
It seems Shen Han is becoming increasingly adept at handling Tiger Peak Manor!
Moreover, the Vice Sect Leader of Five Immortals City gained a deeper understanding of Shen Han.
This disciple practicing the old cultivation method was no weaker than other youths.
He even started to change his views on the old method.
Most sects in the Southern Heaven Continent had actually heard these news.
Once the news spread, those who traveled from Great Wei to the Southern Heaven Continent would naturally pass it back to Great Wei.
Previously, when Shen Han killed Yu Yan before a crowd, it made many people less fearful of the Southern Heaven Continent.
Now another piece of news spread, that Shen Han alone again killed four Tiger Peak Manor guards.
The notorious reputation of Tiger Peak Manor in Great Wei seemed to be further diminishing.
Those who protect their own sects, those sinister and ruthless, it all sounded ludicrous.
A serious crisis arose for the Shen Family.
Shen Qingshan and Shen Ye had both left and didn’t return to Yun’an City.
Currently, Yun’an City was under Madam He and Madam Shen’s control.
They had always believed that with Junior Brother Ao over there to rely on, no one dared provoke the Shen Family.
But Shen Han’s repeated dispatching of four guards made them even more uncomfortable.
Shen Han’s actions demonstrated his complete disregard for these guards, utterly unafraid of Tiger Peak Manor.
This news also impacted people in Great Wei.
Previously, people from Yun’an City and Great Wei were very afraid of the Shen Family.
Now, it seemed many started to question the Shen Family.
Some even had intentions of provocation.
Perhaps thinking Junior Brother Ao was still over there, along with the powerful master, there wouldn’t be any excessive gestures.
But if Shen Han again acted against Tiger Peak Manor, when Tiger Peak Manor was occupied with its own troubles, whom would the Shen Family rely on?
Thinking of this, Madam Shen and Madam He considered relocating.
Otherwise, when the day came, they wouldn’t even have the chance to flee.
...
The Southern Heaven Continent was too vast.
In Great Wei, Tiger Peak Manor might dare to search bit by bit.
Yet in the Southern Heaven Continent, it’s simply impossible.
Not to mention the immense size of the Southern Heaven Continent, who knows when they would ever find their target.
The main issue is the Southern Heaven Continent has many powerful sects.
Tiger Peak Manor couldn’t casually search on others’ territory without the stature.
Others may not provoke it out of concern for trouble.
But once Tiger Peak Manor seeks trouble, others’ attitudes could vastly differ.
If Shen Han hides in the Southern Heaven Continent, practicing the old method without leaking his aura.
Finding Shen Han could prove extremely difficult for Tiger Peak Manor.
Two days passed.
In the courtyard.
Ban Wu called Shen Ao and his junior brother Wu Ke together.
Wu Ke, the second junior brother, had strength equivalent to his own, both at the first layer of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.
Ban Wu’s combat strength exceeded Wu Ke.
But the difference wasn’t substantial.
"The situation is getting more complicated, and that Shen Han clearly is humiliating our Tiger Peak Manor.
This time he killed four of our guards; once it happens, it could likely happen again.
If we allow him to act wantonly, the Sect’s guards may find it difficult to perform external duties in the future."
Tiger Peak Manor has few people, with many chores handled by the Sect’s attendants and guards.
Because of Shen Han, guards feared going out, causing significant discomfort.
Ultimately, they couldn’t have everything managed by Elders or top core disciples.
"Yesterday, the Manor Master approached me, expressing that Shen Han had made the manor’s people anxious.
Many guards developed some cowardice.
Numerous tasks became challenging to push forward.
The Manor Master asked us brothers to first discuss and propose a solution.
He would comply with our plan as much as possible."
Wu Ke and Shen Ao both provided identical answers.
Currently, the only solution seemed to be luring Shen Han to appear.
The current situation is Tiger Peak Manor in the open, Shen Han in the shadows.
Aside from luring, no other strategy seemed plausible to find Shen Han.
"Junior Brother Ao, would you be willing to act as bait?"
Ban Wu’s abrupt question startled Shen Ao, whose expression instantly turned grim.
Wu Ke glanced at Shen Ao, then turned back to his senior brother.
"Junior Brother Ao only entered the Grotto Heaven Realm recently; if he acts as bait, we may struggle to protect him, so let’s not.
It’s not long after Yu Yan had an incident; if Junior Brother Ao encounters trouble, this branch might indeed wither."
Wu Ke’s words allowed Shen Ao to breathe a sigh of relief, for if pushed.
He might have to seek help from You Wanying.
Even if branded a coward, Shen Ao didn’t want to risk his life.
In truth, Shen Ao felt a certain fear towards Shen Han.
His senior sister, Shen Han dared to eliminate.
Let alone Shen Ao.
Currently, nothing could restrain Shen Han; he wasn’t about to become the scapegoat.
If left unprotected, Shen Han would undoubtedly take his life.
Hearing his junior brother’s words, Ban Wu nodded.
"Now it seems we can only use the guards as bait.
After this, arrange a follower to shadow guards during their outings.
If trouble arises, the follower will immediately intervene."
The three discussed a general plan, which Ban Wu noted down, preparing to consult You Wanying and the Tiger Peak Manor Master.
Currently, Shen Han’s influence was indeed quite significant.
