The elder before him was actually from the royal family during the time when the seven nations of the Eastern Continent vied for supremacy thousands of years ago.

Of course, they’re now completely in decline. If they’re not, it would prove that Great Qin is in decline.

As a branch of the royal bloodline not to be underestimated, the Han family from Zeyang City fell into their current woeful state.

The family’s main lineage had cultivators gifted with talents, but through the long passage of time, accidents befell them one after another. Even the old man encountered his enemies while attempting to break through to the Cut-off Realm, ultimately failing at the last moment.

Now, within the Han family of Zeyang City, the only direct descendant left was the old man’s sole granddaughter, Han Xinyue.

Han Xinyue was incredibly talented, possessing the treasured Moon God Physique, and had cultivated to the fifth level of the True Person Realm at just the age of twenty. To avoid any mishaps, the elder raised her in seclusion, sought out esteemed teachers for guidance, and poured all his heart and effort into nurturing his granddaughter.

He had everything arranged, including his granddaughter’s future after his death. However, just a few days ago, within the greatly fortified Han residence, his granddaughter disappeared without a trace—neither alive nor dead to be found.

Yi Chen: "....."

"Forgive my bluntness, but the reason Great Qin has tolerated your Han family was just to use you as a mascot, to pacify the populace under its rule. Do you think it’s possible that your exceptionally talented granddaughter has been killed by someone from Great Qin?" Yi Chen was candid, feeling that this Han Xinyue’s fate was similar to that of Young Master Li; she probably met a grim end.

Ah, fellow Daoist, allow me to explain. Zeyang City is one of the eight Great Qin cities and has a Cut-off True Monarch in residence. Although I failed when trying to ascend to the Cut-off Realm, with a treasure passed down from my ancestors, I could barely hold my own against a True Monarch who just entered the Cut-off Realm," the elder said.

"When my granddaughter disappeared, I didn’t feel a thing. Moreover, her life soul lamp has not been extinguished, clearly indicating she is still alive."

In addition to that, that Cut-off True Monarch of Zeyang City is also quite distressed. There have been messages occasionally that many cultivators are disappearing in the nearby regions. Our Han family has fallen to such a state; even an old man like me can taste the bitterness," he continued.

"As long as our Han family doesn’t produce a Cut-off True Monarch, someone with the stature of Millennium Emperor wouldn’t resort to such actions. Hidden Dragon Taoist has unparalleled strength and can even battle the Wusheng Sword Mother. Frankly, I sought to establish a good relationship with you previously, but now I have no choice but to brazenly ask for your help to save us."

Yi Chen stroked his smooth chin, already weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

The single piece of Ice Jijade wasn’t ranked very high on the list of heaven and earth treasures, falling after the twentieth place, and the same was true for the Fire Jijade.

But these jades are natural creations and extremely rare. Being able to put together such a pair of ice and fire jades, Yi Chen had to acknowledge that the Han family’s wealth came from a rich ancestry, cleaning out a rift could feed a medium-sized sect for decades.

"Now that the stimulus from the Thunder Jijade on my body is reaching its limit, I can hardly make out any progress in a month. It might be worth trying the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens. The stimulation from earthly treasures is far stronger than Ruan’er’s."

"Anyway, I’ve now cultivated the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit. With my Primordial Spirit’s illumination, so long as my spirit isn’t extinguished, my body can be rekindled once, returning to its peak. The risk isn’t too great, so why don’t I give it a try? After all, there’s still some time before the Great Qin Legal Assembly."

With his thoughts racing, Yi Chen immediately made up his mind. He was in.

Ice Jijade and Fire Jijade didn’t matter to him. What bothered him was people opportunistically stirring trouble during the Great Qin Legal Assembly when various powers were realigning and shuffling.

Moreover, this brazen looting of cultivators gave Yi Chen an intense sense of déjà vu.

Perhaps he could kill two birds with one stone.

"Han Daoist friend, I will take on this matter," Yi Chen said.

"As the World-Shaking Pure Yang, I cannot abide such nefarious heresy bringing disaster into the world. I share one quarter of a connection with Zeyang City."

"Give me the Ice Jijade and Fire Jijade first, and I can set off right now!"

Yi Chen grinned, stretching his large hand out in front of Han Jiyue immediately.

There were rules in the Hidden Dragon Temple. Starting from Yi Chengzi’s generation, besides the Sect Leader not having to chant scriptures and attend early classes, one must receive payment before going out to work!

As the Sect Leader of the Hidden Dragon Temple, he couldn’t be the one to break these rules.

The elder looked at Yi Chen’s big white teeth and steeled his heart, immediately taking out two jade boxes. As he opened them, two jades—one white and one red—lay inside.

At this point, he had no other choice but to take a gamble.

The entire wealth of his Han family, besides these Ice Jijade and Fire Jijade, consisted only of the treasured heirloom of their clan. The clarity of the situation in Zeyang City was evident to the discerning eye. He had sought out other Cut-off cultivators, but if they didn’t quote an exorbitant price, they outright refused.

Left with no choice, he then thought of Yi Chen, who had recently emerged with a fairly good reputation, was not only strong in cultivation but also had a powerful background. Not long ago, Yi Chen had even slain the Wusheng Sword Mother of the Jianxie Sect.

"Old Han, you’re lucky to have encountered me, the Hidden Dragon Taoist," Yi Chen said as he snatched the two jade boxes from the elder, glanced at them, and then tucked them into his storage ring. "However, forgive my candidness, I have some understanding of destiny,

If your granddaughter can return safely this time, I suggest you change her name. For instance, Han Li would be a good choice. If she truly manages to stand firm, your Han family will flourish! Xin Yue is no good, it has the look of a frail destiny, prone to an early demise."

Han Jiyue looked at Yi Chen’s big face, his mouth twitching twice, but ultimately he said nothing, only sighing inwardly.

"Old Han, I’m pressed for time, let us hurry and fly away," Yi Chen said.

As soon as his words fell, the sky turned pitch black, and that familiar feeling descended once again.
