Although the top-tier warrior of the Tiger Peak Manor did not come.
This time, Shen Ao only has to deal with Shen Han.
He has two guards from the Southern Heaven Continent by his side.
With these two guards, it is sufficient to deal with Shen Han.
Everyone present probably thinks this way.
In the crowd, amidst all the noisy sounds.
Shen Han finally appeared.
Before the cave, Shen Han’s face remained indifferent, still composed.
Recalling his original intention, it was just to seek some peace and ease.
As he ascended higher, he seemed to be getting closer to the goal, but troubles also increased.
With Shen Han’s appearance, the noisy sounds immediately ceased.
Everyone’s gaze shifted from Shen Ao to Shen Han.
The people of the Shen Family also stared intently at Shen Han.
As the patriarch of the Shen Family, Shen Qingshan frowned at Shen Han.
He didn’t seem too pleased. Instead, his emotions were somewhat peculiar.
In contrast, Madam Shen’s face was full of pride.
"This old life of mine survived just to see this rebellious son in distress.
Heaven still cares for an old woman like me.
Although Ye’Er is not as good as him, this rebellious son couldn’t have imagined that our Ao’Er would be so powerful."
The old dowager Shen’s face was full of smiles, and her words made her feel very comfortable inside.
Originally feeling uncomfortable in his heart, Shen Ye’s hatred intensified upon hearing these words.
And seeing Shen Han appear, Shen Ao’s eyes brightened for a moment.
At first, there was a trace of fear hidden within, but it was completely concealed in just a breath.
"I thought you would hide in the Five Immortals City forever, but you really came back.
I even thought, at least I’d have to capture Yun Shuang from the Yun Family and Shi Yuezhu to make you return~"
Shen Ao’s language was frivolous, being not yet twenty years old.
However, his tone and words gave the impression of a scoundrel.
"The youngest Immortal Realm warrior in Great Wei, this title indeed sounds impressive.
But you probably never thought you’d end up like this, right?"
At this moment, Shen Ao felt a sense of clarity and comfort.
Just like when he first tested his talents and unlocked eight bindings.
The joy he felt back then was extremely similar to what he felt today.
Facing Shen Ao’s provocations, Shen Han remained silent, indifferently staring at him.
In his heart, he constantly pondered the right moment to act.
After practicing the new cultivation system, his strength became hard to conceal.
Shen Han immediately saw that Shen Ao’s current strength was only about Fourth Grade Half-Step Realm.
In the new cultivation system, it’s roughly at the Peak of Binding Realm.
Shen Han tried to think if he had the chance to directly attack Shen Ao.
But today’s situation might indeed be quite troublesome.
There are still many other Immortal Realm warriors from various factions around.
The people from Tiger Peak Manor have already displayed their formidable strength.
If he suddenly launched an assault on Shen Ao, these people might get involved to gain a favor, seizing the opportunity.
Shen Han understood that in the current situation, with him practicing the old method, he was no longer favored by the public.
In the eyes of others, he had no future.
Soon enough, Shen Ao, Qianmu Fan, and those young people valued on the Southern Heaven Continent would easily surpass him.
In his contemplation, Shen Han became clear.
Striking today, his purpose is not just for revenge or counterattack.
He also has to make the people of Great Wei understand that practicing the new method does not mean being undefeatable.
The old method facing the new method doesn’t necessarily mean the old method will lose.
At this moment, Shen Ao was already holding a treasure in his hand.
No one around had seen what kind of weapon this was.
It looked like a club, but one end had an elliptical object.
It should be a weapon unique to Tiger Peak Manor.
"Young Master Ao, please hold off for now. Let us probe his depth for you.
If you get injured..."
The two guards suggested.
Shen Ao’s talent was good, but his cultivation time was really short.
The two guards were still somewhat worried about him.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ao smiled.
"If he’s bold enough to injure me, let him come.
As long as he has a bit of sense, I don’t think he’d dare to harm me."
Shen Ao’s words were full of confidence.
As if facing him, Shen Han could only be passively on the receiving end.
Not daring to counterattack at all.
These words were said with poise.
If others said this, one might think they were dizzy.
But those around felt that Shen Ao’s words made perfect sense.
Having heard of Tiger Peak Manor’s deeds, such an insidious sect, uses poison, and protects its own...
If one injured a core disciple of Tiger Peak Manor, they would truly suffer more than death.
"Young Master Ao, it’s best to be cautious.
When a dog is pushed to the wall, it will jump over it. If he bites you, how would torture help?
You’re still injured."
The guard’s words were indeed reasonable.
In their view, if Shen Han was really desperate.
With a death wish, he’d just try to disgust Shen Ao somehow.
If such a thing really happens, it could indeed be troublesome.
Beside him, Elder Ding took two steps forward.
"Shen Ao, what your guard said makes sense.
You are now a core disciple of Tiger Peak Manor. If you were to damage your foundation, wouldn’t it be a waste of your talent and potential?
For your own good, it’s a responsibility to yourself.
In my opinion, anyone who can engage in combat should at least have stepped into the Grotto Heaven Realm.
Only after strengthening yourself with the Heaven and Earth Creation to elevate your physical capabilities.
Only then would you have some self-protection power during a fight."
Elder Ding is not from Tiger Peak Manor.
But here, he is the strongest.
When he advised, Shen Ao had to consider it to some extent.
While speaking, Elder Ding’s gaze turned far to look at Shen Han.
His voice rose considerably:
"Remembering our past acquaintance, Shen Han, I have some advice for you.
The people of Tiger Peak Manor, do not harm them.
Even if it’s the manor’s guards who attack you, it’s best to hold back and not hurt them.
Tiger Peak Manor always protects its own, so you couldn’t even seek death if you wanted.
If you really have the skills, escape."
It was obvious that Elder Ding was biased in his speech.
But these were the only things he dared to say.
Even though Shen Han practices the Old Cultivation Method, he certainly isn’t valued by Five Immortals City.
But Elder Ding didn’t want to give Five Immortals City an excuse to find trouble, as Qianjin Hall had already seized two genius disciples from Five Immortals City.
Attacking Shen Han would only cause more trouble for Qianjin Hall.
While speaking, one of the guards stepped forward.
He intended to attack first and test Shen Han’s strength.
During their conversation, Shen Han had been watching them all along.
Tiger Peak Manor is a sect that uses poison, and for those who are constantly around toxins, they must have ways to protect themselves.
When Shen Han looked at Shen Ao and the others, he noticed their methods.
His own defense against poison relies on the "Unceasing Skill".
But Tiger Peak Manor does not possess such mysterious techniques.
The clothes they wore were items with purple inscriptions.
[Poison-Resistant Robes]
While they were busy showing off, Shen Han had already extracted the purple inscriptions from Shen Ao’s robe.
However, once the inscription was removed, the form and texture of the entire robe changed visibly, making the problem obvious at a glance.
Shen Ao seemed to notice something was wrong and immediately changed into another robe.
Seeing this, Shen Han was determined to deal with the guard.
The inscription on the guard’s robe must not be removed prematurely.
Removing it in the middle of battle, poisoning him, might be a good strategy.
Suddenly, the guard began to attack Shen Han.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth’s Momentum was instantly drained, and several blades appeared as if out of nowhere.
And Tiger Peak Manor seemed to have some unique tricks.
On the several blades, the guard took out his peculiar weapon, and with a wave of his hand, it seemed to have contaminated the blades with something.
This was not all; the ambient Heaven and Earth’s Momentum seemed to form a barrier, enclosing the center.
On his person, the "Unceasing Skill" had begun to operate.
Shen Han understood that what had just dissipated was poison.
The barrier formed by the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum was meant to contain the spread of the poison.
Meanwhile, the guard did not hesitate in his attacks on Shen Han.
Gripping his weapon tightly, he launched his assault on Shen Han.
This guard was likely just shy of reaching the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm.
There was no overpowering difference in realm strength between him and Shen Han.
But facing this guard, Shen Han chose to feign weakness from the very start.
Feigning that he was no match for the guard, that he didn’t even dare to attack, for fear of harming the guard and provoking more vicious retribution.
Yet in truth, Shen Han seized the opportunity to appear weak to remove the inscription from the guard’s robe.
[Poison-Resistant] inscription has been extracted.
Next, the poison here would not only target him.
Furthermore, Shen Han intentionally led the battleground to the ground.
Amid the techniques exchanged, quite a few plants were trampled and cut down.
The more this happened, the more the poison from these plants spread.
After about a quarter of an hour of combat, Shen Han appeared to be gasping for breath.
His demeanor seemed somewhat weakened.
Showing signs of poisoning, the guard wore a smug look.
Little did he know, he too had already been penetrated by the poison.
The poison was infiltrating through his skin into his body.
The guard sensed something but didn’t realize he was poisoned.
Seeing Shen Han’s condition, he thought the time was right.
He then stood firm, ceasing his attacks.
"Young Master Ao, this person’s strength is average, as is his courage.
He has now been contaminated with our Tiger Peak Manor’s poison, and now, Young Master Ao can test his skill against him."
With that, the guard backed out of the fight.
Seeing this, Shen Han kindly returned the [Poison-Resistant] inscription to him.
The guard probably didn’t expect to have been poisoned himself.
The onlookers from Great Wei were all whispering among themselves.
The one thing everyone was sure of, Shen Han was truly scared.
If he didn’t dare take on a guard, let alone anyone else.
