Chapter 634: Chapter 293: The Mysterious Dan Dilemma, Cultivating the Flying Thunder Tribulation_3

However, in the next instant, that voice rang out once more.

“It’s me, Han Yi, I have indeed returned.”

Zhuge Wu You’s face showed a surge of ecstasy, even becoming flushed due to excessive excitement.

He flew off the ground, looking at Han Yi, who was slowly approaching, his heart throbbing with excitement. Unconsciously, tears welled up in his eyes.

“He’s… back, he’s really back.”

In just a blink of an eye, his expression became serious, as if the previous scene was just an illusion, but Han Yi knew that this elder of Xuandan Sect must have taken on too much responsibility, and his own appearance caused him to lose control of his emotions in an instant.

This was the Xuandan Sect, Zhuge Wu You, who, despite his name, couldn’t be carefree himself, but devoted his utmost to ensure that the Sect could be worry-free.

Han Yi’s inner heart held deep respect for him.

A moment later.

Xuandan Hall.

Han Yi declined Zhuge Wu You’s suggestion and didn’t sit in the first seat on the right but instead the first seat on the left, with Zhuge Wu You still in the main seat.

Over the years, when he sat in that position, the heavy burden on his shoulders caused this elder’s eyebrows to become more and more aged.

What made Han Yi’s heart sink was that, aside from Zhuge Wu You, there was only one other Golden Core-stage cultivator in the sect, Si Hongxue.

Si Hongxue sat opposite Han Yi.

Compared to fifteen years ago, her strength had increased several times, and she had already advanced to the late-stage Golden Core.

Han Yi’s eyes swept over Zhuge Wu You and Si Hongxue, and both could see the excitement in each other’s eyes.

After all.

During the Stars Sea battle fifteen years ago, Han Yi had already made a name for himself in Daqian, ranking fifth on the official demon extermination list in Daqian, among the Golden Core Peak cultivators.

Now, fifteen years later, Han Yi would undoubtedly make progress, and perhaps, in the near future, he would form a Nascent Soul. By then, the Xuandan Sect would truly be a well-deserved Nascent Soul Great Sect.

The two never thought that Han Yi had already returned to the sect with a Nascent Soul Body, because although fifteen years was not short, it was truly incredible for a cultivator who had just advanced to the late-stage Golden Core to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Inside the hall, Han Yi’s brows furrowed, with only two Golden Core-stage cultivators in the sect today and only a third of the disciples remaining, prompting him to make an ominous guess, and he asked solemnly:

“Brother Zhuge, where are the other senior brothers? Brother Huo Ming, Brother Shen, Brother Lian, and Brother Zhu, Brother Fei?”

“In addition, why are there so many fewer disciples in the sect? What happened over the years?”

Prior to Han Yi’s departure, the Golden Core-stage cultivators within the sect were not few. Apart from him, there were seven others: Zhuge Wu You, Si Hongxue, Huo Ming, Shen Ping, Lian Tingxi, Zhu Siyuan, and Fei You.

At this moment in the sect, only Zhuge Wu You and Si Hongxue were present, with no trace of the other five.

After a quick survey, only a third of the sect’s disciples remained, and even the thirty-three outer peaks established after their relocation had begun to show signs of neglect at the outermost periphery.

This situation couldn’t help but make one think of the worst-case scenario.

As soon as Han Yi asked the question, the hall suddenly quieted down, and Zhuge Wu You sighed lightly before saying, “Don’t worry, junior brother, let me explain everything to you.”

“Fifteen years ago, after the Eastern Sea’s Evil chaos ended, we returned to the sect only to discover that your Soul Lamp had extinguished, which greatly alarmed us. However, only the Golden Core cultivators within the sect knew about this.”

“Afterward, junior brothers Shen Ping and Lian Tingxi went back to the Eastern Sea to retrieve your body but searched in vain for half a year before returning.”

“Following that, the sect remained peaceful for several years.”

“Ten years ago, the Sumeru Valley, located to the east of the sect, instigated conflict with our sect by preaching, forcing us to fight several battles and suffer casualties.”

“Although both sides eventually backed down, it did create resentment between us.”

“Four years ago, a group of Robbery Cultivators appeared in the Evil Mountain to the north of our sect. These Robbery Cultivators were numerous, with more than four hundred people, and their strength was immense. There were nearly ten Gold Core cultivators among them, as well as hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the others were all mid-to-high stage Qi Refiners.”

“These Robbery Cultivators gathered in Feilei Mountain, deep within the Evil Mountain, so they were called Feilei Mountain Robbery Cultivators by the outside world.”

“The Robbing cultivators from Feilei Mountain have been rampant around the Evil Mountain, and even…”

As he said this, a trace of uncontrollable murderous intent flashed in Zhuge Wu You’s eyes.

“Even two years ago, the Robbing cultivators from Feilei Mountain escaped from Evil Mountain and attacked our sect. Although our sect’s large array forced them to retreat, we suffered heavy losses. More than half of the inner and outer disciples and Foundation Establishment elders were lost.”

“Junior fellow apprentice Zhu SiYuan, Fei You, and Su Sheng, who had advanced to the Golden Core stage ten years ago, also lost their lives in that calamity.”

“Junior fellow apprentice Lian managed to escape the catastrophe by staying in Qian Du’s Profound Immortal Pavilion.”

“Not long ago, there was a disturbance in the Sumeru Valley to the east. Junior fellow apprentices Huo Ming and Shen Ping, as well as another junior sister Fu Lan, who had advanced to the Golden Core stage three years ago, went to the east and confronted Sumeru Valley. A great battle may be looming.”

“However, with Junior brother Han’s return, I believe that all the problems in our sect will be resolved.”

In his last sentence, Zhuge Wu You looked at Han Yi with shining eyes, and even the worries of the past days seemed to have disappeared.

Han Yi nodded, his face calm, but his heart was chill. He didn’t expect so many things to happen in just fifteen years.

Zhuge Wu You glanced at Han Yi, seeing that his face was calm, and continued to speak.

“However, although Junior fellow apprentices Zhu, Fei, and Su have perished, the hardships our sect has faced over the years have also allowed our remaining members to make substantial breakthroughs in their strength.”

“Sister Si Hong advanced to the late-stage Golden Core twelve years ago, and Junior brother Shen also advanced to the middle Golden Core stage last year.”

“It’s a pity about Junior brother Huo Ming. His body has suffered too much internal damage, and he is still in the middle Golden Core stage. Otherwise, with his talent, it’s possible that he could have advanced to the late-stage Golden Core by now.”

“As for Junior brother Lian, although he has not participated in the sect’s fights and has been staying in Qian Du’s Profound Immortal Pavilion, he has the best talent. Through hard cultivation, he advanced to the late-stage Golden Core seven years ago.”

“Although Junior brother Lian wanted to return to the sect, I rejected him strictly. After your Soul Lamp was extinguished, it was the most hopeful for him to break through to the Golden Core Peak and even Nascent Soul stage among those in the sect. However, unlike Junior brother Han, his fighting power is strong but still limited, and taking risks is not an option.”

Hearing this, Han Yi already had a general idea in his heart, but he also had many doubts.

“By the way, Senior brother, there are also three late-stage Golden Core cultivators in our sect now, in addition to Shen and Huo Ming who are in the middle Golden Core stage. How is the strength of Sumeru Valley? Why would they dare to provoke a fight?”

Zhuge Wu You raised his eyebrows and shook his head: “This is what makes me curious too.”

“The strength of Sumeru Valley is not that strong. Ten years ago, their strength was not much different from our sect’s. The Valley Lord of Sumeru Valley and one of the Supreme Elders are late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and the rest should be two middle-stage Golden Core and five late-stage Golden Core cultivators.”

“For the Golden Core cultivators, ten years is not considered long, and it is absolutely impossible for the two late-stage Golden Core cultivators of Sumeru Valley to break through to Golden Core Peak. So there must be some hidden reasons for their aggression.”

Han Yi asked again, “In the Evil Mountain Range, have there been any changes with the Robbing cultivators of Feilei Mountain in the past two years?”

Zhuge Wu You shook his head: “No.”

“Two years ago, the Robbing cultivators of Feilei Mountain invaded our sect. Although our sect suffered heavy losses, nearly half of the Robbing cultivators’ corpses were left behind. Two years is too short, and Feilei Mountain should not have recovered yet.”

Han Yi asked again, “Since these Robbing cultivators are so rampant, why not ask for help from Zhenbei City to exterminate the Robb…?”

As he said this, he shook his head as he already knew all the reasons.

Nowadays, the Xuandan Sect still bears the name of a Nascent Soul Great Sect. If they really asked for help from Zhenbei City, wouldn’t they be announcing to the world that there’s a problem with Sect Master Yuan Shun?

After that, not only the threat of the Golden Core Kalpa cultivators, but also the surrounding Golden Core Sects may personally go into battle, dividing and devouring Xuandan Sect.

So, the disappearance of Yuan Shun cannot be mentioned.

Thinking of this, Han Yi smiled and said softly, “Zhuge Senior brother, Sister Si Hong, you definitely wouldn’t have guessed who I met during my journey.”

“Who?” Zhuge Wu You asked in confusion, then his face changed slightly, followed by a drastic change, and even his pupils were shaking uncontrollably.

Si Hongxue’s reaction wasn’t much better.

Because both of them already had a guess – if there was someone who Han Yi would say ‘definitely wouldn’t have guessed,’ then there was only one person.

Han Yi didn’t beat around the bush and put on a serious face.

“That’s right, I met our Sect Master.”
