Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Unable to Even Make a Move
Jiuxiao Capital City.
It hadn’t been peaceful for a few days, and the whole capital city was once again bustling.
The succession ceremony originally scheduled for tomorrow changed due to the chaotic events.
In the Imperial Palace, a large group of people began packing their things to leave.
Including those guards, who just a few days ago, were pledging their loyalty to Shen Han.
They became like this…
The Yan Family members, apart from the Sovereign of Jiuxiao who was thrown into the dungeon, all fled the Imperial City.
The city’s citizens have also escaped in recent days, waiting in the wilderness outside the city.
Waiting for the storm to pass before daring to return.
The Imperial City was somewhat quiet.
In the courtyard, Yan Yun’s face was full of anxiety.
“Young Master Shen, we really have to escape this time.
The ultimatum was delivered not by the people from the Seven Sects and Sixteen Countries, but by the Domain Master himself!
We have not even heard of his specific realm…”
Looking at the anxious Yan Yun, Shen Han felt much calmer.
“Did you remember those books on the Military Array Technique I asked you to read?”
“Young Master Shen, at a time like this…..”
“Don’t find excuses to slack off, go read if you must.
As for this Domain Master, I know how to deal with him myself.”
Shen Han’s expression was calm, with no sign of tension.
During this time, Shen Han had already thoroughly studied the cultivation methods of the Northern Mountain Domain.
Starting from the Basic Cultivation Method, it was filled with restlessness.
Body and Spirit Dual Cultivation, yet the cultivation path was quite chaotic.
Even if this method increases strength, whether it’s incredibly slow or not.
Even when the cultivation realm improves, its foundation is loose.
Shen Han had his own estimation of this.
Two days passed, and two figures floated from the horizon.
Behind the figures, streams of white fire fell from their sides.
Anything and anyone along the way, upon contact, burned to ashes completely.
The next moment, the two were already stepping into the Jiuxiao Imperial Palace.
The elder in plain clothes stood there silently, unmoving.
And the person beside him began to shout loudly: “A quarter of an hour, if you don’t come out, I’ll burn down your Jiuxiao Imperial Palace.”
Above the buildings, strongmen from the Northern Mountain Domain gathered.
They seemed somewhat fearful of the Domain Master’s methods, keeping their distance.
A few brave ones began to cling to the palace walls to peek.
Perhaps, beyond this, they might never witness it again.
“Half a quarter of an hour left!”
The loud call echoed throughout the entire palace.
A moment later, the garden gate on the southeast side was pushed open.
Shen Han walked out.
Yan Yun followed behind Shen Han, and it was evident how frightened she was.
The man before them was the Domain Master.
Someone even Sect Leaders and Sovereigns rarely see.
Seeing Shen Han appear, the elder in plain clothes stepped towards Shen Han one step at a time.
With each step, a few white flames would fall from the places he tread.
Rocks stained with white flames seemed unable to withstand the burning, soon turning into a pile of black debris.
“A few days ago, as I sat atop the mountain, I felt a sense of unease.
Just yesterday, I heard that four Spiritual Harmony Realm experts from the Northern Mountain Domain fell in a single day.”
The elder in plain clothes was quite polite, his words and actions courteous.
“Why is the young friend so violent, taking life so casually?
Even with fortunate encounters or opportunities, one should maintain a kind heart.”
Hearing this, Shen Han not only didn’t refute but nodded.
“To be honest, I initially didn’t intend to end their lives.
It’s just that when those sect leaders dealt with me, they held lethal intent.
And their methods were venomous. I truly feared that if I spared them, I might face worse retaliation.”
Shen Han answered calmly, neither hasty nor impatient.
Not far away, other experts of the sect couldn’t help but laugh.
“Does he think that by speaking politely, he can get away with it?”
Upon hearing this, they shared understanding smiles.
Not far off, the elder in plain clothes stepped forward again.
“Those sect leaders in the Northern Mountain Domain are highly respected.
When the young generation opposes them, it’s natural to feel resentment.
But the young friend should be guided by benevolence. I find it hard to ignore these methods.
If I do not intervene as a lesson, the Northern Mountain Domain may fall into chaos in the future.”
Upon hearing the elder’s words, Shen Han couldn’t help but laugh.
“So, according to the senior, they can aim for my life, but I must not retaliate against them, is that it?”
Shen Han chuckled and reiterated.
The elder in plain clothes looked slightly stern: “The young friend’s understanding is narrow; the violence in your heart is evident from your words.
Today, I will use the Immeasurable Flame to burn away the violence surrounding you.
This matter will be resolved here.”
As he spoke, the elder in plain clothes already pinched a wisp of white flame.
But the next moment, just as he was about to launch the flame, it suddenly extinguished.
As the flame extinguished, the power within the elder in plain clothes seemed to vanish completely…
Moreover, his body became difficult to move.
“Domain Master… Domain Master, what’s wrong?”
The attendant who was always by his side sensed something amiss.
He spoke and even reached out to push him, yet received no response.
Shen Han walked over and took the bronze cauldron that the elder in plain clothes was toying with.
Looking at the entry, [Excellent Magical Artifact].
This seemingly toy-like bronze vessel turned out to be a Magical Artifact.
With a thought, in the next moment, the entire bronze cauldron quickly enlarged.
The surrounding crowd’s faces turned pale upon witnessing this.
Especially the sect leaders who invited the Domain Master, their bodies began to tremble.
That bronze cauldron was the lifeblood of the Northern Mountain Domain’s Domain Master; such a precious item, how could he allow Shen Han to handle it casually?
But now, he stood motionless.
Clearly, he couldn’t even make a move in front of Shen Han…
Once they came to their senses, a few individuals hastily fled.
The death of the Lion King could mean turbulence for the Northern Mountain Domain.
But today’s severe defeat of the Domain Master means the Northern Mountain Domain is due for a change.
“Go let others know, the farce is over, and they can return.”
Shen Han glanced at the Domain Master before him, destroying his cultivation with a casual motion.
Blood spurted from his mouth, and the Domain Master of the Northern Mountain Domain didn’t even have a chance to retaliate.
Those peeking from atop the palace walls lacked judgment on the situation.
But upon seeing the Domain Master spit blood, they finally realized the outcome of the match.
The fleeing crowd soon started to return.
This time, they looked at Shen Han with eyes filled with reverence akin to viewing an Immortal God.
Shen Han invited the Domain Master to sit with him in a nearby pavilion.
“Why not kill me…
Your strength is truly unexpected; the Northern Mountain Domain hasn’t seen a genius like you for years…”
Saying this, the Domain Master actually smiled.
“Senior seems… relieved?”
Shen Han didn’t mock the Domain Master; he did have some questions for him.
As the Domain Master of the Northern Mountain Domain, he probably knew more than others.
This Northern Mountain Domain is likely unsuitable for his cultivation.
