Chapter 399: Chapter 398: Zheng Changye’s Stern Mindset
Beside Shen Han, the former Domain Master Wei Qun quietly offered words of comfort.
“Don’t be stubborn. Venerable Changye strikes extremely hard. Don’t think about seeking trouble.”
Perhaps over these days, having found Shen Han to be quite good, Wei Qun already risked danger to advise him.
But unfortunately, Shen Han wouldn’t listen.
“I’m sorry, but I really have no interest in being treated like cattle.
Besides, this path of cultivation that you take, we also take.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you are definitely superior to us.”
Shen Han’s expression remained unchanged, still looking calmly at Zheng Changye.
Upon hearing what Shen Han said, Zheng Changye shook his head helplessly.
“Third Uncle wasn’t wrong; every time there’s a change of people, it’s absolutely impossible for them to submit without some lesson.
No wonder the old saying goes, people can’t learn from others teaching them; one experience is lesson enough.
Only by experiencing such torment yourself can you understand how blissful it is to be free of calamity and pain.”
As he spoke, Zheng Changye opened a folding fan in his hand.
Not far away, a woman looked at Zheng Changye: “Senior Brother Changye, we have urgent matters. Please hurry.”
There was a hint of impatience in her words.
This Jiuxiao Imperial City had nothing to attract her, making her feel somewhat bored.
“Junior Sister Ying, please wait just another moment. It will be done soon.
These people from the rural area always lack understanding.”
Upon hearing Zheng Changye’s explanation, Junior Sister Ying still seemed as if she hadn’t heard, glancing around.
Seeing Zheng Changye about to strike, Shen Han’s eyes turned slightly stern as he summoned a long sword with a wave of his hand.
“It seems, you truly are arrogant to the extreme.
Daring to wield a sword in front of me, you really have some nerve.”
As he spoke, a powerful force suddenly surged toward Shen Han.
The force was invisible; Shen Han couldn’t even see it being executed.
This wasn’t mere pressure, nor was it a mental technique meant to disturb the mind.
Shen Han could ascertain that this was an attack that appeared out of nowhere in an instant.
It seemed as if there was a phantom behind him.
With a slightly serious look in his eyes, the Zheng Changye before him was indeed far stronger than those in the Northern Mountain Domain.
With just this move, it was quite evident.
And Shen Han, evading this move, also slightly surprised Zheng Changye’s heart.
How could someone from the Northern Mountain Domain possibly dodge this move of his?
In his shock, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and that strange power attacked Shen Han once more.
But this time, Shen Han did not stop to defend.
His figure began to move, the Lonely Peak Snow-Treading Step initiated.
The long sword in his hand was also as elusive, with sword shadows rising around him, the blade shining with brilliance.
With just this move, even the gaze of that Junior Sister Ying not far away was drawn over.
It was the first time they had seen such sword shadows.
The Lonely Peak Snow-Treading Step movement was incredibly agile; even Zheng Changye hadn’t anticipated Shen Han would have such strength.
With Junior Sister Ying watching beside him, it made him extremely vigilant.
In his considerations, Zheng Changye’s expression turned serious, waving the folding fan in his hand, turning wind into blades.
Using blades to meet Shen Han’s summoned Heaven-Filling Sword Shadows.
And in the next moment, Shen Han was already in front of him.
The sword shadows shattered, tiny sparks converging onto Shen Han’s long sword.
The Power of Laws also imbued onto it.
Sword and Man Unity!
A single slash even startled Zheng Changye.
But the long sword in Shen Han’s hand was restrained by an invisible force.
The blade did not touch Zheng Changye, but was already blocked.
It was that phantom!
At the same time, a force of qi from the phantom struck out of nowhere.
This formless power, Shen Han could only judge by the Wind Force and the movements of the phantom.
Even with his form shifting, he was still grazed by the qi at his side.
The exchange left both slightly wounded.
Zheng Changye’s face turned extremely unpleasant.
He could feel that the person in front of him was not weaker than he was, something definitely outside the capability of people from the Northern Mountain Domain.
That body technique was dazzling.
The Heaven-Filling Sword Shadows he had never seen before.
And Shen Han’s expression also turned slightly serious.
This Zheng Changye before him, in terms of speed of body technique and power of techniques, was weaker than himself.
But the bizarre ability truly left Shen Han a bit exhausted.
From nowhere, just the flicker of a phantom could launch attacks.
At first, Shen Han suspected it was a Scholar’s Technique, an intangible abnormal phenomenon seeking to catch opponents off guard.
Yet when he used the Power of Laws, this strange thing was not swallowed by the Laws.
For a moment, Zheng Changye was somewhat hesitant, not daring to strike rashly again.
Worried if he were to be defeated by this person from the Northern Mountain Domain, he wondered how Junior Sister Ying beside him would view him…
Hesitating, that Junior Sister Ying gracefully stepped closer.
“Senior Brother Changye, we’re pressed for time. Let’s not concern ourselves with these matters today.
Moreover, this person is quite interesting; when free, invite Senior Brother Changnian to have a look as well.
That Full Sky Sword Shadows technique of his is quite the spectacle~
Let’s leave it at that for today; when we come with Senior Brother Changnian next time, we should bring him along to see~”
Upon hearing the words of the woman, Zheng Changye’s face remained unsightly, but he also put away the folding fan in his hand.
After shooting a cold glance at Shen Han, he turned and left with Junior Sister Ying.
On the high platform, the former Domain Master Wei Qun slowly stood up.
He still hadn’t recovered his senses.
Zheng Changye was the most malicious and ruthless among the Zheng family members.
Any slight defiance from Wei Qun would lead to his torment.
But today, Shen Han was able to hold his ground against Zheng Changye.
In the next moment, Shen Han walked up to Wei Qun, lifting the cloth tied around his neck.
The collar instantly revealed itself.
“If you can’t take it off, one day a slave, a lifetime a slave to the Zheng family…”
Before the words finished, Shen Han had already extracted a tag and tossed a [damaged] tag onto it.
In an instant, the collar shattered.
At this moment, Wei Qun already regarded Shen Han as an Immortal God-like figure.
“Domain Master, today this old slave sincerely addresses you as Domain Master.”
Shen Han waved his hand.
“In their faction, what level does Zheng Changye’s strength equate to?”
Upon hearing Shen Han’s question, Wei Qun pondered for a moment.
“Over the years, among the young generation that the Zheng family sent, he is one of the top in terms of strength.
Even if this old man enhances his strength four or five times, he might barely be able to fight him.
And he has many mystical Magical Treasures, utterly unpredictable…”
Wei Qun introduced with words but could only give a rough estimation.
He didn’t know Zheng Changye’s true strength either.
“So, you mean, the elders of the Zheng family are much stronger?”
“This old slave truly doesn’t know; the elder generation of the Zheng family has no interest in coming to the Northern Mountain Domain.
They leave it all to the younger generation to handle.”
Shen Han nodded, indicating he understood.
From this exchange, it seemed that the cultivation strength of the Zheng family’s Divine Land might not be weaker than that of Great Wei.
The Northern Mountain Domain, where he came from, might be somewhat reminiscent of a small nation like Yexuan.
“In my exchange with Zheng Changye, I vaguely felt he had an invisible technique.
Does Senior Wei Qun know what this method is?”
Upon hearing Shen Han’s question, Wei Qun showed a wry smile.
“How could this old slave have the skills to face Zheng Changye…
He needs only to think slightly, and that collar would tighten.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Han decided not to inquire further.
“Domain Master, are you thinking of venturing into the Divine Land?”
“I have that intention.”
Shen Han nodded, not hiding this intention.
His journey here was originally for the sake of enhancing his strength.
The Northern Mountain Domain was desolate, and there was no reason for him to remain.
