Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

As Shen Han was leaving, the sword in his hand injured the pursuing guard.

In that instant, the wound began to grow numb and uncontrollable.

Seeing this scene, everyone reacted.

Shen Han not only injured the people of Tiger Peak Manor but also intended to escape!

When the long sword pierced through Yu Yan’s body, everyone present thought Shen Han intended to fight desperately to the death, dragging someone down with him.

He might cut his throat before he gets caught to avoid humiliation.

But now it seems that Shen Han not only wanted to end Yu Yan’s life but also planned to escape safely.

Seeing this scene, Shen Ao began to shout loudly.

"Help me capture Shen Han, and the sect will surely reward you!!"

A single guard could not catch Shen Han.

If no one else came to help, Shen Han was likely to escape.

"Elder Ding, we implore Elder Ding for assistance; Tiger Peak Manor will definitely remember this kindness!"

Shen Ao turned his head, looking towards Elder Ding of Qianjin Hall.

His words were full of pleading.

Adding flowers to the brocade is far less useful than sending charcoal in the snow.

Acting now is indeed a great favor for Tiger Peak Manor.

But Elder Ding still hesitated...

After all, he was a person of Qianjin Hall, stepping in might not be suitable.

Beside him, Tang Chenyang and Qianmu Fan both looked up at him.

"Elder, why not intervene..."

"He is just a practitioner of the Old Method. If you step in today, Tiger Peak Manor will definitely remember your grace."

The two persuaded like this.

After hesitating for a moment, Elder Ding considered and finally decided to take action.

Elder Ding’s strength was at the peak of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm, one step away from entering the Illusion.

Yet this one step marked a significant difference in strength.

In Great Wei, he was roughly at the Peak of Second Grade in the Immortal Realm.

Possibly slightly stronger than Master Xingchuan.

At this moment, his strength was the most formidable.

If anyone could stop Shen Han, among all these people, Elder Ding had the greatest possibility of success.

His figure flashed past, and Elder Ding directly pursued to the front of the cave.

He also thought he could easily control Shen Han.

But as he reached the cave entrance, a feeling of various restrictions suddenly hit.

Inside the cave, paths crisscrossed.

Moreover, Shen Han had set arrays with every step to cover them.

Whether one’s cultivation is in the New Method or the Old Method, it doesn’t matter to the arrays.

Hesitating momentarily, Elder Ding waved his hand, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently.

He wanted to use this to break the arrays.

His action indeed had effect, but not every array could be destroyed by a wave of his hand.

Especially since many arrays had the "solid" keyword added by Shen Han.

These arrays were more difficult to break.

The mountain shook incessantly, and many places had already shown collapses.

But what could this accomplish, as it still couldn’t force Shen Han to reveal himself.

The next moment, Elder Ding of Qianjin Hall emerged from the cave.

Floating in the air, the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum around him was all drawn by him.

The majestic aura condensed into a mass, and suddenly, this terrifying power burst forth among the mountains.

The entire mountain instantly collapsed.

Yet even with the mountain’s collapse, there was still no sign of Shen Han...

Having escaped into the cave for nearly a quarter of an hour, Shen Han might have fled somewhere.

The caves within, who knows where they lead.

He might have escaped to a distant place or hidden deep within the caverns...

But now, it’s completely unclear.

Simply put, Shen Han has escaped.

The dust from the collapsed mountain took a long while to settle.

Yet there was still no trace of Shen Han.

Those who practice the Old Method are not so easily detectable...

This attempt to eliminate Shen Han ended with an unexpected result before everyone.

Previously, the much-acclaimed Tiger Peak Manor allowed Shen Han to fatally strike their core disciple.

And he successfully escaped...

Protecting their own, sinister and unscrupulous...

Somehow, now it sounds a bit absurd.

At this moment, everything has been completely settled.

Elder Ding, a mighty figure entrusted with the task, took action but was of no help.

It even made him look a bit embarrassing.

For him, perhaps it would have been better not to intervene.

The operation against Shen Han utterly failed.

At this moment, Shen Ao had already entered the battlefield where the fight took place.

He initially wanted to check on his senior sister’s condition.

But the condition of Fairy Yuyan caught him off guard...

Fairy Yuyan’s body looked like a withering tree.

Centered around the sword wound on the chest, the closer to that sword wound, the more severe the withering.

Even the chest part of the body had become fragile...

Her physical body seemed to have turned into dried, decayed wood.

And this Fairy Yuyan had no chance of survival.

Not only her but also the guard who had just chased after Shen Han.

He was also injured by the sword edge.

The wound was also withering, decaying...

If he immediately excised the injured area, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

But now, with the poison having entered his body, even a god could hardly save his life.

Many of those who came to watch the spectacle began to leave, departing from this place of trouble.

With such an incident, Tiger Peak Manor is sure to launch a massive retaliation.

To avoid getting into trouble, the crowd naturally knew not to linger here.

Both Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang were pulled away by Elder Ding.

This elder clearly intended to be friendly, but failed to capture Shen Han.

These gestures of goodwill turned out to be in vain, and might even provoke much resentment.

Sitting on Elder Ding’s flying magical artifact, the three of them remained silent.

Especially Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang, their brows were furrowed even tighter.

It was only after flying for a long distance that Qianmu Fan seemed unable to hold back.

He looked towards Elder Ding and asked:

"Elder, do you think he’s powerful..."

Previously, Elder Ding had not seen Shen Han in action.

Initially, he thought Shen Han was just a young man practicing the old method, with decent strength.

Back in Five Immortals City, Shen Han had defeated Tang Chenyang in a duel.

Perhaps it was because Tang Chenyang was lacking in skills, somewhat arrogant, and self-assured.

But today, after Elder Ding witnessed Shen Han’s actions with his own eyes, his thoughts changed.

Shen Han truly possessed strength.

Suddenly, he understood something.

When visiting Five Immortals City, why Elder Si Zhi was so biased towards Shen Han.

Why would a disciple practicing the old method receive preferential treatment?

He even expelled Tang Chenyang because of Shen Han.

But at this moment, Elder Ding fully understood.

Indeed, Shen Han practiced the old method.

But from today’s exchange with Yu Yan, his strength far surpassed his peers.

Moreover, although Shen Han practiced the old method,

his realm wasn’t low.

His techniques had at least the power of the 7th layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm.

Even at the moment of ending Yu Yan’s life, his actions were close to the 10th layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm.

This level of strength and realm, many who practice the new method, at Shen Han’s age, find it hard to reach.

Yet Shen Han reached such a realm with the old method.

Beside him, seeing Elder Ding’s silence, Qianmu Fan knew the answer.

Sitting next to him, Tang Chenyang hung his head lower.

He felt uneasy, even a bit scared.

He suddenly realized Shen Han seemed much more powerful than imagined, and even more ruthless.

Yu Yan, the core disciple of Tiger Peak Manor.

Shen Han not only had the strength to defeat her, he actually dared to make her die on the spot.

If it were him, Tang Chenyang, in that position, he felt he wouldn’t have such courage.

Moreover, Shen Han dared to kill even Yu Yan.

What would it matter if he eliminated Tang Chenyang?

In his thoughts, Tang Chenyang was already afraid, even deeply regretting.

Regretting why he provoked Shen Han in the first place.

Brought nothing but trouble upon himself.

Clearly, he had no grudge against Shen Han...

The flying magical artifact continued to speed on.

In Qianmu Fan’s heart, he was filled with despair.

He tried to unravel the shackles of his heart demon, hoping to see Shen Han, who once humiliated him, suffer the same fate.

Or even face a worse fate.

But after all that effort and thought,

Qianmu Fan felt not only did he fail to dissolve this heart demon shackle, but he also felt increasingly uncomfortable.

His fear of Shen Han even outweighing what it was before.

"Today, seeing Shen Han’s actions, gave me a feeling.

That even if I practice this new system, I wouldn’t be his match.

Elder, might I never surpass him in this lifetime..."

Though he asked this, Qianmu Fan was hoping Elder Ding would console him.

Today, his confidence truly took a massive hit.

However, for some reason, hearing these words, Elder Ding remained silent for a long time, only after a while did he softly say, "Possibly, but you still have some chances."

This single sentence further shattered Qianmu Fan’s confidence.

Even Elder Ding no longer had much faith in him.

As if realizing he said something inappropriate,

Elder Ding paused, then added: "You two need not worry too much.

Today, Shen Han dealt a fatal blow to Fairy Yu Yan.

This Fairy Yu Yan was You Wanying’s disciple, a core disciple of Tiger Peak Manor.

Shen Han’s life won’t last long."

In a way, these words served as consolation.

But upon closer thought, it was more implying that Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang were no match for Shen Han.

Even far beyond reach...

The battlefield just moments ago was now a scene of devastation.

Yu Yan’s body had been removed, in just a few hours, her corpse shriveled into a dried husk.

The other guard, wounded by the sword, also seemed a bit off.

People around had already left.

The disciples of Tiger Peak Manor, today, had died just like that.

Died in Great Wei, in a distant place despised by the Southern Heaven Continent...

Shen Ao sent a message to You Wanying.

Hearing the news of Yu Yan’s death, You Wanying remained dazed for a long time, even collapsing to the ground.

After a long while, she slightly recovered.

Once she regained her senses, she immediately arranged for the closest disciple to come.

At least, first to ensure Shen Ao’s safety.
