The Ancient Sovereign

0With a creak, Han Yan pushed open the courtyard door. At this moment, time seemed to have returned to his childhood, to the time when he was living with his parents. The past was like a river flowing through his mind. The familiar face, the familiar voice, would never be forgotten. Unknowingly, Han Yan's face was covered in tears.    

    

As his gaze fell upon the courtyard, Han Yan was slightly startled. The courtyard was abnormally clean, without even a single leaf could be seen, and there were traces of sweeping on the ground. Han Yan frowned, his divine sense spread out, enveloping the entire courtyard, and did not discover anyone. Then, he quickly walked forward.    

    

After he opened the door, he saw that the room had the exact same layout as when he left that year. The only difference was that there were two spirit tablets on the long table in front of him. Seeing his parents' spirit tablet, Han Yan choked up and cried out: "Father, Mother …" His legs bent and he knelt on the ground. He kowtowed three times, and his forehead was completely red.    

    

After a long while, Han Yan finally stood up and walked towards his own room. His gaze suddenly fell onto a nearby desk. There was a small tablet placed on top of it, but the name on the tablet made his body shiver, "She's dead?"    

    

The person on the tablet was Liu Xihan, who frowned and walked out of the room.    

    

Han Yan took a deep breath of cool air as soon as he arrived in the courtyard. His body flashed as he flew away. After a while, they arrived in front of a yard. The door was covered with fallen leaves and the door was locked. It was obvious that no one had come for a long time. At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over. Seeing Han Yan standing there, he asked, "Little brother, are you a relative of his?    

    

Han Yan nodded and did not reply.    

    

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Little brother, I advise you to leave this place!" "The Liu Family offended the Royal Family and was executed."    

    

Han Yan's brows twitched, and said: "You offended the imperial family?"    

    

The middle-aged man clearly did not want to continue to talk about these things, so he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and go! If someone finds out that we are staying here, they will definitely take us into the government. " As he spoke, he glanced around to make sure no one was passing before letting out a sigh of relief. Then, she gave Han Yan a look, indicating for him to leave quickly before leaving in a hurry.    

    

After the middle aged man left, Han Yan looked at the courtyard door deeply. He patted the storage bag at his waist, took out the green small sword and flew straight to the north. His speed was extremely fast, and in just the time it took half an incense stick to burn, he had already arrived at the Tianming Sect's borders. Just as he arrived at the mountain range, two disciples flew over, blocking Han Yan's way.    

    

Qian Chao and Zhang Ye had already been sect guarding disciples for more than thirty years, and their cultivation had broken through from the Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage to the Eighth Stage of Qi Refining Stage as well. If it was in the past, Eighth Stage of Qi Refining Stage would have long since become a core disciple. For some reason, even after the two of them had reached the eighth level, they still arranged to guard the mountain and were depressed for a long time.    

    

After the two stopped Han Yan, they subconsciously snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that it is impossible to fly on the main mountain?"    

    

When Han Yan flew, he did not reveal the aura of a foundation-building stage cultivator. The two of them thought that he was just an ordinary disciple. Other than the disciples of the sect, the nonnative cultivator could not even come to the main peak. Therefore, the two of them did not think much about it, but when they saw Han Yan's appearance, their eyes immediately widened.    

    

Qian Chao's body trembled as he cried out involuntarily, "Fourth Senior Brother …"    

    

Zhang Ye's face was also filled with disbelief, and he said: "Han Yan, you're actually not dead?"    

    

It was unknown if the duo's luck was too good, or if their luck was too bad, but when it was their turn to guard the mountain, they actually encountered Han Yan. One must know that among the inner sect disciples that were at the Qi Training stage, there were not many that knew of Han Yan. In these 30 years, many disciples had broken through the Foundation Establishment Stage and become elders of the sect. As for disciples who had not broken through, most of them were cultivators who had only recently joined the sect for a dozen or so years. They had only heard of Han Yan's mighty name, but had never seen him in person.    

    

Han Yan was also a little surprised to see the two of them. He did not say any unnecessary words, and went straight to the point, "Tianming Sect of the Tianming Sect, are we really lucky?"    

    

The two did not dare to make a sound and simultaneously said, "Yes, or indeed, Daoist Master Hong Dao." Although they had not participated in the action of surrounding and killing Han Yan, but from the disciples that had returned, they heard that Han Yan was someone who would kill without blinking an eye. 30 years ago, with just the power of a single person, Han Yan swept through hundreds of cultivators. After many years, both of them dared not even think about how powerful Han Yan was now.    

    

Han Yan's gaze hardened, and turned into a streak of flowing light, rushing straight towards the Hall of Daylight.    

    

After a long while, Qian Chao and Zhang Ye recovered from their shock. They glanced at one another in shock.    

    

Qian Chao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said with lingering fear, "Did you clearly see his speed just now?"    

    

Zhang Ye shook his head, his eyes became dull, as if he had lost his soul. He then said mechanically: "No, his speed is too fast, even the elders of the sect are unable to display such speed."    

    

Qian Chao took a deep breath and said thankfully, "Luckily, he didn't make a move earlier. Otherwise, both of us would have died long ago."    

    

Zhang Ye nodded his head in agreement and said: "That's right. This time, when he returns, who knows how many people will die in the sect!" After saying that, he thought of something and hurriedly said, "Brother Qian, should we ignite the Sentinel Talisman?" The warning talisman was a type of technique that made sounds. Once it was burned, it could be heard clearly within a 100 kilometer radius. The disciples of the sect would know that someone had barged into the sect.    

    

Qian Chao's body trembled as he said harshly, "Are you stupid? If he finds out that we are notifying the sect, we won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."    

    

Zhang Ye did not know what to do, so he asked, "What do we do now?"    

    

Qian Chao glared at Zhang Ye and reminded him, "If you don't want to die, then pretend that nothing happened."    

    

"But …" Zhang Ye frowned and said worriedly, "If the Sect Leader finds out about this, wouldn't we …"    

    

Hearing these words, Qian Chao's anger rose again as he gloomily said, "We don't know if Sect Leader will live until tomorrow. If we were to inform everyone, we definitely wouldn't be able to live past tomorrow." Saying this, he looked down the mountain and continued, "If my guess is right, perhaps even the Supreme Elders will make their move. If we were to fight a battle of that level, the aftermath would be enough to kill us.    

    

Zhang Ye said worriedly, "That's not good!"    

    

"If you don't want to die, then come with me." Qian Chao didn't even look at Zhang Ye as he flew down the mountain with his magical equipment.    

    

Zhang Ye hesitated, in his mind, he could continuously hear and hear the legends of Han Yan, and the more he thought, the more afraid he became.    

    

Inside the Sky Heaven Palace, there were more than 10 clan elders present, including Zhang Daoqing and the rest. As he sat in the middle, he looked much older. His gaze swept across everyone and then said, "I believe you all should know the news that came from State of Zhao. If that cultivator is really Han Yan, he will definitely come back to take revenge."    

    

Zhou Tong's face sank, and said anxiously: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, is Han Yan really back?"    

    

Spiritual Master Hong Dao said, "Whether that person is Han Yan or not, we do not know, but regarding his situation, you all should be very clear, right? If he comes back, how many of us can hold him off? "    

    

Zhou Tong's face became even uglier, and immediately said: "I think we should ask Martial Uncle Chu to take action! Didn't he say that after he returned from the Nine Heavens Mountain Range? If Han Yan comes back, we will be the first to notify him. "    

    

Spirit Master Hong Dao's face was filled with hesitation, he did not reply to Zhou Tong's words.    

    

Zhou Tong continued to speak, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, since we have already offended Han Yan, the hatred between us cannot be resolved.    

    

Spiritual Master Hong Dao also understood this logic. He was worried that if they really fought, not only would they not kill Han Yan, most of the disciples in the sect would also be injured. The Tianming Sect's thousand years of history would be completely ruined. He was only thinking about the Tianming Sect's future and not the surface.    

    

At this time, a person walked out from a side door of the hall. It was the Wang Meng who brought Han Yan to Tianming Sect.    

    

Wang Meng walked to the center of the hall and said to the crowd, "Fellow disciples, I, Han Yan, am here to join the sect. If he really does return, I am willing to take all responsibility."    

    

Hearing that, Zhuge Long could not help but snort, and said: "Senior Brother Wang, can you take responsibility? If you really want to take responsibility, when we killed Han Yan back then, why didn't you appear? "    

    

Zhou Tong also said: "That's right, Senior Brother Wang, don't stay here and be a good person. Even if Han Yan comes back, he will not kill you, but what should we do?"    

    

Wang Meng's face sunk, he glared at the two people and asked coldly: "Could it be that if you continue to speak like this, you will be able to kill Han Yan?" Seeing the two of them being silent, Wang Meng continued to speak, "Don't forget, Han Yan was able to severely injure some people thirty years ago and during the battle of seven day mountain range twenty years ago, he was able to kill a golden core stage Ranker. Do you think we can survive his attacks?"    

    

Zhou Tong realized the severity of the problem and his tone softened, "Then tell me, what do we do now?"    

    

Wang Meng's brows twitched as he said in a deep voice, "We have yet to confirm whether or not the cultivator that appeared in State of Zhao was Han Yan. We should first send someone to the State of Zhao to investigate.    

    

Hearing that, Zhuge Long was still a little worried, and said: "Senior Brother Wang, have you thought about it? State of Zhao is only three days away from here, with Han Yan's cultivation, it should be very soon!"    

    

Wang Meng said: "Everyone, don't forget, it has already been three days. If that person was really Han Yan, he would have arrived long ago."    

    

Adept Hong also revealed a puzzled expression. "Then why is he still not coming?"    

    

Wang Meng thought for a while, then said: "I think something must have happened midway, or maybe that person is not Han Yan at all."    

0

    

After everyone heard this, they nodded their heads, and Zhang Daoqing said: "With Han Yan's character, it is indeed impossible for him to take so long, maybe we were just overthinking it."    

    

Spiritual Master Hong Daozi stood up and quickly walked in front of everyone. He said seriously, "Junior Brother Wang Meng, arrange for a few reliable disciples to go to the State of Zhao and inquire about the situation there. If they are certain that the person is Han Yan, crush the sound transmitting within a thousand kilometers and it will explode." Then he said to the four people next to him, "Junior brother Zhang, junior brother Guo, junior brother Liu, junior brother Zhu. The four of you will go to the four great summits and start the great sect formation. Besides the disciples who carry out missions, no one is allowed to step foot into the sect. "    

    

"Yes." The five of them simultaneously raised their hands and said in unison.    

    

Daoist Master Hong looked up and saw the sky outside the great hall. His face suddenly darkened as he cried out, "Not good …"    

    

Everyone revealed a puzzled look. They didn't know what was going on with the Sect Leader. Just as everyone was prepared to ask the reason, a familiar and frightened voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "You guys don't need to look for me, I'm already here." This voice was cold and emotionless. Upon hearing it, one couldn't help but tremble with fear.
