Han Yi walked at a normal pace towards the city gate.

Just as he opened the door, in a dark, secluded corner outside the gate, a figure suddenly shuddered.

"He's finally out! This guy has finally come out!"

This person was so excited that he almost cried. He had been squatting for two months, and the master of this courtyard had only ventured out today. Such bitter cultivation was simply outrageous.

Remembering Guan Sheng's instructions, he thought about immediately returning to inform Guan Sheng about this matter at the Xuanhuo Pill Shop. Still, second thoughts led him to suppress the idea and quietly follow Han Yi instead.

"Hmph, I'll see what shady business this guy is up to."

After a quarter of an hour, the man watched Han Yi walk through the city gate and stopped hesitating. He pondered whether to continue following or go back.

After some thought, he decided to return. As a Qi Refining third stage cultivator, he might not be able to stop Han Yi even if he followed him.

He regretted not directly going to Xuanhuo Pill Shop earlier to report this matter. Fortunately, nobody knew about it, and as long as he didn't say anything, Guan Sheng wouldn't know either.

That's how it should be done.

Upon reaching this conclusion, he quickly returned to the Xuanhuo Pill Shop to inform Guan Sheng about Han Yi leaving the courtyard.

Guan Sheng listened and narrowed his eyes, revealing a sinister smile.

"So he actually went out. I thought I'd have to wait until the one-year deadline before he'd leave."

"Hmph."

"Let's see what little tricks he can play."

"The plan has changed, and we missed the perfect opportunity two months ago, but at least it can still continue."

Suddenly, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"But where could he be going? He's not heading towards the Xuanhuo Pill Shop, but in the opposite direction?"

"There are no other markets in that direction, just the city gate."

"That's not right."

Guan Sheng suddenly stood up, the wide-eyed expression of horror on his face.

"He's trying to escape!"

The person standing in front of him shivered, fearing that his decision to follow Han Yi would be exposed. He pretended to be puzzled: "Running away?"

Guan Sheng left the counter and walked out.

"Don't worry about it, just watch the pill shop for me. I'll be back soon. If anyone asks, just say I went to pick up the goods."

His voice gradually softened, and by the time he finished speaking, Guan Sheng was already twenty meters away from the pill shop, disappearing around the street corner.

The man guarding the counter breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I wasn't discovered for acting on my own accord."

"But, it's amazing how accurate Guan Lao's guess is. He is truly a seasoned schemer."

"Hehe, that guy trying to escape the city won't get far. He's definitely heading for a dead-end."

On the other side.

After Han Yi left Mengshan City, he looked back at the bustling city gate and let out a bitter smile. It seemed that he was just overthinking things.

Perhaps there was no danger after all, and that it was all just in his head. f reeweb novel.com

But safety was more important than anything else.

Han Yi recalled that he had messed up Guan Sheng's big plan, believing that Guan Sheng must still hold a grudge in his heart.

However, he didn't regret it and thought that once he became more powerful in the future, he would compensate Guan Sheng tenfold for this misunderstanding.

Han Yi no longer lingered and continued on his way.

Moreover, the path he took was not the nearly straight route to the sect that he had taken when he came down from the mountain.

Instead, he purposely made a detour, going far away from Xuandan Sect's direction and then circling back towards Xuandan Mountain Range.

This was part of the plan that he had devised before leaving.

As a cultivator, his Qi Refining third stage body made his physical strength and endurance far superior to ordinary people. Walking at a brisk pace, he was even faster than some horses, without feeling tired at all.

It was at least twice as fast as his previous trip down the mountain. Although the journey was longer, the time was roughly the same as the last time he descended the mountain.

This was also part of the plan.

Mengshan City was a city within Nanyang County.

And Nanyang County was one of the thirteen counties in Shu State of Daqian Immortal Country.

Xuandan Sect was located in Xuandan Mountain Range, which stretched across Taibai, Nanyang, and LuoFeng, the three counties, and was also the core area of the Xuandan Sect's influence.

The nearest city to Mengshan City towards Xuandan Mountain Range was Lin'an City, while the nearest city away from Xuandan Mountain Range was White Snake City.

But when Han Yi arrived at Lin'an City, it was already late, so he found an inn specially designed for cultivators, with separate rooms and protective formations, and spent three Spirit Sand to stay the night.

On the second day, they continued their journey, turning right and taking a detour towards Xuandan Mountain Range.

What he didn't know was:

Far behind him, Guan Sheng, who had left Mengshan City after him, had arrived in Lin'an City earlier than him before Han Yi reached White Snake City.

He squatted outside the gate of Lin'an City for five days and five nights.

The thoughts in his heart went from, "I didn't meet him on the road, this guy must have entered Lin'an City."

"I'll wait."

to the second day, "Why hasn't he come out yet? This guy wouldn't be staying in Lin'an City, would he?"

Then on the third day, "Damn it, what's this guy doing in Lin'an City?"

By the fourth day, "Should I go inside and look for him? No, Lin'an City is too big, it's unrealistic to find him. Just keep waiting, I can't believe you belong to a turtle."

On the fifth day, "You're killing me, making me so angry!!!"

Guan Sheng left, carrying with him a deep resentment and helplessness towards Han Yi.

On his way back, he reviewed all his previous actions and even all his facial expressions and movements in front of Han Yi.

It all seemed flawless.

But in the end, he still couldn't trap this kid, which was a pity.

Right now, he had to rush back to erase some key pieces of information from the arrangements he had made earlier, just in case anything went wrong.

He was scared.

Of course, he had thought about going directly to the small town below Xuandan Mountain Range and waiting for Han Yi there, just to kill him.

But as soon as this idea came up, it was extinguished.

That place was heavily guarded, and even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the Immortal Path were stationed there all year round.

If he got caught, it would be over.

His own backer in the sect was just a manager of the outer sect, and his backer was just a peak master of the outer sect, with a cultivation base also at the Foundation Establishment stage, so it wasn't realistic that the two layers of relationships were united to protect him at any cost.

He hated Han Yi so much that he wanted to kill him, but it wasn't necessary to die together.

Five days later.

When Guan Sheng returned to Mengshan City, it was also when Han Yi set foot on Xuandan Mountain Range again.

As he entered the territory of Little Lingxu Peak, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Finally, he had returned without any surprises or danger.

Then he went straight to the management hall of the outer peak of Little Lingxu Peak.

Every outer peak had such a management hall, handling affairs of the peak.

Han Yi presented the outer sect disciple's identity token he had kept, and then under the surprised gaze of the manager in the Great Hall, he paid ten Spirit Stones and received a certificate, heading straight to the cultivation chamber behind the Great Hall.

After entering the corresponding cultivation chamber, he activated the formation in the chamber using the array that had been placed in the chamber earlier.

Han Yi took a deep breath.

Second-stage Spirit Vein, main node location, rich spirit energy poured into his nostrils, flowed smoothly around his body, and the fatigue from the journey disappeared instantly.

"The cultivation chamber is indeed extraordinary."

"This concentration of spirit energy is so effective."

"It's expensive, but it's worth it."
