Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Taking the sound transmission magical artifact, he sent away the last person.

The once crowded cave now seemed somewhat empty.

Shen Han sat idly for a moment, then began to busy himself.

Array formation, mechanisms.

In this place, he had set a trap for them.

Tiger Peak Manor, so what if they are protective?

He was even more protective than they were.

Over the years, he had accumulated so many entries.

After setting up the array, he placed all the entries like "Stealthy," "Intricate," and others on it.

The array was his stable backing.

Besides, the "Poisonous Longsword" was already prepared.

They had already made moves against Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak.

With just a flip of the hand, they wanted his life and the lives of those around him.

Since that was the case, his strikes would undoubtedly be lethal.

Any talk of not harming Tiger Peak Manor’s people could be ignored.

Shen Mansion.

At this moment, they had already received Shen Han’s information.

So many people, each with different thoughts.

That day, Shen Han spoke sincerely; some of those who went to expose Shen Han also comforted themselves accordingly.

They told themselves that since Shen Han said so, their revelation was justifiable.

Moreover, some worried about missing out on rewards if they delayed.

So some people, less than half a day after leaving the cave, went to Shen Mansion to expose Shen Han’s location.

Shen Han had actually anticipated this in his heart; people in the world are diverse.

The existence of such people was quite normal.

After receiving the news, Shen Ao almost showed no hesitation.

He dispatched his two guards to the designated location.

One to verify, the other to monitor.

Shen Han could not be allowed to escape.

The territory of Great Wei wasn’t vast, and after confirming the news, the two guards immediately, under guidance, reached the outskirts of the cave.

After confirming that Shen Han was still there, Shen Ao increased the manpower.

Some forces who wished to ingratiate themselves with Shen Ao, upon hearing the news, all wanted to take this opportunity to connect with him.

Some of these forces even had Immortal Realm experts; they got the chance to help guard Shen Han, preventing his escape.

Of course, they only needed to guard; they didn’t need to take action.

Within Shen Mansion.

Shen Ao had already started preparing.

Even though he had a decent talent in the new cultivation system, his cultivation time was still short.

In comparison, Shen Han had already stepped into the Immortal Realm.

This time Shen Ao wanted to confront Shen Han himself, and he had treasures given by his master.

With the help of absolute-grade treasures and Tiger Peak Manor’s poison skill.

He didn’t need to surpass Shen Han.

Just being on par with Shen Han would dispel the fear that had lingered in his heart.

At worst, he could make Shen Han a servant.

Over at Qianmu Fan, Shen Ao promptly relayed the message.

This struggle among the younger generation of the Shen Family spread across Great Wei within half a day.

One was once the strongest of Great Wei, with extraordinary talent.

Not yet thirty, he had entered the Immortal Realm.

The other, having joined Tiger Peak Manor on the Southern Heaven Continent, leveraged their influence to sweep away Xiaoyao Peak—Shen Ao.

Today in Great Wei, Shen Ao was undoubtedly the most famous.

The shock he brought to all powers in Great Wei left many still processing.

The foundation of the sect at Xiaoyao Peak—how many sects in Great Wei dared to claim superiority?

Yet, such a powerful sect was expelled in a day by the forces of the Southern Heaven Continent.

Let alone other smaller powers.

After the news spread, many from different forces prepared to witness for themselves.

In Great Wei, many had never encountered the new cultivation system.

This time, they intended to see the strength and methods of those from the Southern Heaven Continent.

Those who received the news rushed toward Anyang City.

And Shen Ao, coming from Yun’an City, also needed some time.

This gave others the chance to gather and watch.

Two days later.

The outskirts of the cave saw more and more people arriving.

Shen Han continued his preparations and arrangements.

Unfazed and calm about the arrival of others.

Both outside and inside the cave, Shen Han had made some preparations.

The plants, which originally posed no threat, had been imbued by Shen Han with "Highly Poisonous" traits.

After adding the entries, the nature of those plants changed accordingly.

They now exuded a hint of aggression.

If one were near the Land of the Far South, even a fool would know to avoid such plants.

But here, on the outskirts of Anyang City,

Many wouldn’t expect there to be highly poisonous plants.

Using poison-related entries extracted from the Land of the Far South, he deployed them fully.

All the plants around the cave had been transformed into poisonous flora.

With these highly poisonous plants, accompanied by protective arrays.

Shen Han did not worry about his escape route.

Even if it was difficult to succeed, he could surely escape.

Amidst the gathering crowd, Shen Ao, the main character of this event, had finally arrived.

And it wasn’t just him who came; apart from some servants, most of the Shen family were here.

Last time, Shen Ao was humiliated in front of others.

This time, he wanted Shen Han to lose face before even more people, even kneel and beg for mercy.

As soon as Qianmu Fan arrived, he immediately walked over with the two of them.

Facing Qianmu Fan, Shen Ao was still quite polite.

After all, Qianmu Fan, like him, was a direct disciple of the Southern Heaven Continent.

Qianjin Hall was also a major sect, much larger than Tiger Peak Manor.

Of course, it was worthy of Shen Ao’s respect, and in the future, it would also be one of his connections.

After all, in the future, they all needed to cultivate and advance in the Southern Heaven Continent.

"Ao’er, this is Elder Ding from Qianjin Hall, and this is Tang Chenyang, Senior Brother Tang."

Upon meeting, Qianmu Fan immediately introduced Shen Ao.

Hearing that he was an elder from Qianjin Hall, Shen Ao became even more respectful.

He continuously addressed him as elder, and behind him, Tang Chenyang, he naturally could tell.

His strength was even higher than Qianmu Fan’s, presumably also a direct disciple of the sect.

The way Shen Ao spoke was completely different from how he talked with the Shen family.

It turned out he hadn’t changed his temper or forgotten how to respect elders.

But now the Shen family depended on him, Shen Ao, so he didn’t need to respect the Shen family’s elders.

"Senior Brother Tang also has some grudges with Shen Han. Today we’re all here to watch you, Ao’er, take action.

See how you torture him, and hopefully help us vent our anger too."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ao smiled and nodded.

Seeing him like this, Qianmu Fan was somewhat worried.

"Ao’er, although we have achieved a little with the new cultivation method, Shen Han is still in the Immortal Realm.

When taking action, you still need to be a little cautious."

As soon as he said this, Elder Ding nodded in agreement.

"No matter who the opponent is, always carry caution in your heart.

The old saying goes, ’A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit.’

Chenyang, this is what you should be most wary of.

Arrogance is your biggest obstacle to improvement."

After Elder Ding said this, the three young people nodded quickly.

And there was still a faint smile on Shen Ao’s lips, as if he was still confident.

As the four of them talked, the eyes of the people around them were on them.

In the crowd, Shen Ye felt more and more uneasy inside.

Once wherever he went, Shen Ye was the center of the crowd.

He used to find it extremely annoying, but now he feels down and out...

"However, you disciples of Tiger Peak Manor don’t need to worry too much.

Who knows, Tiger Peak Manor is known for being protective. If he hurts any of you, it might be worse than death."

Elder Ding said with a smile.

Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang also nodded.

In just a moment, Qianmu Fan looked at Shen Ao again.

"Ao’er, do you think that Shen Han may not have heard of the fierce reputation of your Tiger Peak Manor?"

Shen Ao smiled: "That’s possible. Our Tiger Peak Manor has few disciples. If one doesn’t specifically learn about it, they might really not know.

If he’s able, let him come and hurt me. Then he can experience firsthand how protective our Tiger Peak Manor truly is."

As the two conversed, some people in the crowd already started cursing at the cave entrance.

They wanted to force Shen Han to come out.

After all, without Shen Han’s appearance, it would be hard for today’s big show to go on.

The number of onlookers around the scene continued to grow.

Almost all the major forces of Great Wei arranged for people to come and watch.

Different words were constantly being passed around in the crowd.

Some people who had been to the Southern Heaven Continent began to explain the characteristics of Tiger Peak Manor to everyone.

Learning about Tiger Peak Manor’s temperament, people knew that Shen Han was likely going to have a hard time getting past this ordeal.

"I once heard people mention, there was a disciple from a certain sect who hurt a guard from Tiger Peak Manor.

In the end, his entire sect was slaughtered.

And this was when Tiger Peak Manor didn’t take it too seriously, and that sect had some strength.

Otherwise, the whole sect might have been wiped out..."

In the crowd, those who knew some information were surrounded by people.

Now, the forces of Great Wei were no longer the focus.

Everyone’s eyes were on the sects of the Southern Heaven Continent.

Such as this Tiger Peak Manor, which is so protective.

If one could rely on them, who knows how much benefit they would gain.

"Let me reveal a bit more, the cultivation techniques of Tiger Peak Manor are quite sinister.

Not to mention the techniques are unpredictable, but the people of Tiger Peak Manor are also skilled in using poison.

Today, if Shen Han actually dies in the confrontation, it would be considered light.

If he harms Shen Ao, Tiger Peak Manor definitely won’t let him die easily.

By then, he might have only one thought in his heart, which is to beg for death..."

In the crowd, these words kept spreading.

News spread, and people felt more sympathetic toward Shen Han.

Once a genius disciple, the youngest Immortal Realm expert in Great Wei, now facing such a tragic end.

Spring is beautiful, but deep autumn can be cold...

"No matter how well things were before, no matter how extraordinary the talent...

In the crowd, many people sighed.

"Shen Ye is now reduced to a discarded child of the family, heard to be humiliated in various ways at the mansion.

The once celebrated geniuses of the Shen family, what has become of them now..."

There were increasing sighs among the people present.

Many people still had a good impression of Shen Han.

But their recognition was of little use, as the strong ones from the Southern Heaven Continent had come, leaving no room for a turnaround.
