Chapter 702 - 680: Striking at Tiger Peak Manor Once More
Chapter 702: Chapter 680: Striking at Tiger Peak Manor Once More
The plan to deal with Shen Han, You Wanying and the Tiger Peak Manor Master also agreed.
After all, they couldn’t think of a better way.
"In the future, whenever the guards go out on missions, ensure to assign someone at the Rainbow-Devouring Realm or higher to accompany them.
If a sudden situation arises, take action immediately."
Ban Wu finished explaining the plan, and You Wanying added some details.
Upon hearing this, the Tiger Peak Manor Master frowned slightly, still somewhat worried.
You Wanying, standing by his side, guessed what his Manor Master was thinking.
"Manor Master, how about this, when we’re handling matters far away, we can also ask sects along the way for help.
Consider it a favor, and after dealing with the troublemaker, we can repay it."
Hearing You Wanying’s words, the Tiger Peak Manor Master nodded, his expression slightly relaxing.
However, Ban Wu seemed a bit puzzled.
"Manor Master, Master, is it necessary for us to go to such lengths...
With a Rainbow-Devouring Realm expert protecting us, that should be sufficient.
The most peculiar thing about that person lies in the sword he wields.
As long as we’re not wounded by that sword, he can’t match a Rainbow-Devouring Realm opponent."
Upon hearing this, the Tiger Peak Manor Master paused as well.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly got up and began pacing in the courtyard.
"Logically speaking, that should indeed be the case.
Those who have seen him in action have claimed his power is about the 7th Layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm.
However, consider this, wasn’t Yu Yan, a Peak of Grotto Heaven Realm expert, also defeated by him?
Perhaps he’s still hiding his true strength, so it’s better for us to be cautious."
As the Tiger Peak Manor Master spoke, his previously relaxed expression turned into a frown again, as if suddenly reminded of something.
"For some reason, I have been feeling uneasy this time.
That Shen Han seems very peculiar.
In fact, I feel dealing with a major sect would be easier than dealing with him."
You Wanying stepped forward slightly, gently offering comfort.
"Sometimes, dealing with a tiger is indeed easier than eliminating a flea.
The tiny flea is weak but can annoy you, leaving you irritable and uneasy.
It doesn’t cause substantial damage but keeps biting us frequently."
This method of harassment truly makes the entire Tiger Peak Manor feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Tiger Peak Manor Master turned to look at You Wanying and nodded.
"Elder Wanying’s words are indeed accurate. It’s a small flea, yet it causes us such distress.
Enough, saying more is pointless.
Wu’Er, go make the arrangements. As for asking sects along the way for help, I and the other Sect Leaders will handle it."
Hearing the two elders speak like this, Ban Wu naturally had no objections and left after saluting.
Tiger Peak Manor has a total of four Elders, each of whom has entered the Illusion Realm like You Wanying.
Each Elder commands a maximum of eight disciples.
Adding those in the manor who are already independent and capable,
there are fewer than sixty people with Rainbow-Devouring Realm strength or higher.
Among these sixty, some are in seclusion or are busy with more urgent matters.
Those who can spare the time to handle these tasks are likely only twenty-odd people.
Ban Wu found the protection work for the guards to be quite a heavy task.
In Five Immortals City.
Shen Han had already settled in the city, having earned so many Contribution Points back then that they would last a long time.
He had not informed anyone of his presence in Five Immortals City, except for Shi Yuezhu.
Not even Elder Sizhi or the Song Xiaodie sisters were told.
It’s not a matter of trust.
If he didn’t tell them, they wouldn’t have to lie, thus avoiding any slips.
Of course, the main reason was that this Five Immortals City was not his stronghold.
When encountering trouble, Five Immortals City’s decision was to distance themselves from him.
After all, Tiger Peak Manor would direct their grudge towards them.
He couldn’t rely on such a Five Immortals City.
Usually, Shen Han lived in an inn within Five Immortals City, having changed his appearance.
He emitted no discernible aura, presenting as a very ordinary businessman.
There were many businessmen in Five Immortals City, so he didn’t attract attention.
Besides stabilizing his current strength and realm through cultivation, Shen Han occasionally enjoyed some tea and snacks at the inn.
He listened to people talk about major events happening in the Southern Heaven Continent.
Even if he didn’t hear the information he wanted, he could buy or seek it out.
Information regarding his dealings with Tiger Peak Manor was relatively cheap.
Since the matter was purely about a vendetta, not involving any treasures or benefits.
Others who heard it were just amused.
Truly valuable information usually revolved around treasures.
For instance, someone acquiring a treasure that could unlock a constraint.
Such information was extremely expensive.
To buy out such information would be a fortune.
Regarding how Shen Han is, and how Tiger Peak Manor is, dozens of contribution points might be enough to buy that information.
Every once in a while, Shen Han would go and buy some news.
Over there in Great Wei, Tiger Peak Manor has already called their people back.
It seems my methods have taken effect.
Suddenly launching a surprise attack on Tiger Peak Manor’s guards in the Southern Heaven Continent, Tiger Peak Manor probably can’t figure out where I and my companions are now.
In this way, Shi Yuezhu and the others should be safe.
Tiger Peak Manor also knows that such a carpet-style search is of little significance.
Besides this news, it’s about Tiger Peak Manor’s recent actions.
If outsiders hadn’t been involved, the information might not have leaked.
But over on the side of the Tiger Peak Manor Master, they sought help from other sects.
In some far places, Tiger Peak Manor wants to help, but the journey takes ten days to half a month.
They have to seek assistance from sects along the way.
In making such a request, more people know, and the news becomes very hard to hide.
Shen Han also heard some news. Although the information was somewhat incomplete, he roughly understood it.
To prevent himself from attacking Tiger Peak Manor’s guards again.
Whenever the guards go out on missions in the future, strong experts from the Rainbow-Devouring Realm will be secretly protecting them.
After receiving this news, Shen Han carefully contemplated.
The information he received may not necessarily be true.
There’s also a possibility that Tiger Peak Manor deliberately leaked it to the public.
If he believes it and gets frightened, then the guards of Tiger Peak Manor would be safe.
Thus making himself dare not attack Tiger Peak Manor’s guards again.
The news could be true, false, or half-true and half-false.
Shen Han calculated in his heart, regardless of the truthfulness of the news, he still planned to make a move against Tiger Peak Manor.
Recalling those past tragedies.
When You Wanying attacked Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak, how many people perished at her hands?
Several Peak Masters, and even Master Xingchuan was seriously injured by her.
Besides, if Tiger Peak Manor continues to have such power, he and the people of Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak would never be able to appear in public.
Once they show up, they are always vulnerable to Tiger Peak Manor’s ambush.
This enmity has reached a point where it’s hard to let go.
Unless Tiger Peak Manor is completely subdued and fallen into decline, he and those beside him would have no peace.
As things stand, the news of him stepping into the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm is still unknown to the outside world.
Arranging people of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm to protect over on Tiger Peak Manor’s side clearly shows their lack of understanding about him.
The Second Grade of the Immortal Realm had already surpassed the strength of those just entering the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.
They thought he would still go after the guards.
If so, then his next step would be to leave those guards alone and instead target those sent to secretly protect them.
As long as their elders don’t show up, he would be very confident.
Thinking of this, Shen Han continued to gather related information.
There are quite a few who’ve stepped into the Rainbow-Devouring Realm in Tiger Peak Manor, and Shen Han thought, even if he were to make a move, he would first target the disciples of You Wanying’s lineage.
Didn’t she make a move against Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion?
He wanted her lineage to wither away.
Shen Han spent more contribution points to find those professional informants to buy news. If there was none temporarily, he’d let them think of more ways.
Shen Han’s offered price was pretty good, already considered high for such information.
As long as it doesn’t involve treasure-related interests, these message brokers going to gather information, seeking relevant people, actually wouldn’t cost much.
These message brokers are actually quite professional, coming to trade, they absolutely wouldn’t be overly curious.
Questions they shouldn’t ask, they absolutely won’t ask.
They would even avert their gaze, trying their best not to look at the customer, maintaining a state of unfamiliarity with the customer.
It’s no wonder these message brokers can keep doing business, understanding and adhering to rules is the key to long-term business.
During the waiting period, Shen Han drank a drop of spiritual liquid again when he had free time at the tavern.
Although his body would still be tempered painfully by the spiritual liquid, at least, after entering the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm, he would not be fainted by it.
His spiritual power and physical strength indeed received a lot of improvement after stepping into the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm.
At the same time, he also paved his own path.
When facing those who draw upon the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum, he would no longer be suppressed.
About ten days later, the message brokers obtained some information.
They even came up with a map.
The map detailed who is going to protect the guards when, and where they are heading for their duties.
Amazingly, it even listed Shen Ao’s name.
However, the person going for this guardian task is not Shen Ao, but his senior brother Ban Wu.
Taking Shen Ao along is probably also for training purposes.
Furthermore, it’s likely to silence others.
After all, the most fundamental reason for the grudge against Shen Han is because of Shen Ao.
If Shen Ao did not contribute any help or effort in this matter, other people in the manor might have complaints.
After confirming Shen Ao would also be on the same route, Shen Han no longer hesitated and began preparations to set out.
For those who attack me, even leaving them a crippled life can be permissible.
But for those who attack the people beside me, I truly cannot tolerate them.
Now, with all this trouble encountered, in the end, it is all because of Shen Ao.
Even if Tiger Peak Manor has paid the price, he cannot escape.
