"How unfortunate." Han Jue sighed.

What else could he say when Fairy Xi Xuan mentioned this?

Fairy Xi Xuan stared at him and asked, "Senior Guan said that he happened to encounter Huang Jihao coming out of the Jade Pure Sect. A forest near the sect was destroyed. It's suspected to be some kind of sword Qi. Did Huang Jihao want to challenge our Jade Pure Sect but was repelled by you?"

Han Jue nodded and said, "Yes."

Fairy Xi Xuan sighed. "I didn't expect the famous Huang Jihao to be defeated by a junior like you."

Han Jue gestured for her to sit down.

Fairy Xi Xuan sat on a nearby chair and continued, "I came to find you because I hope that you can help me suppress Senior Guan."

Suppress Guan Yougang?

Han Jue was confused.

"Sect Master might not be as powerful as Senior Guan, but he has done his best for the sect. For the Jade Pure Sect's sake, he even delayed his cultivation. It would be a pity to take him down from the position of Sect Master. Besides, this Senior Guan of mine is only seeking revenge and not really considering the sect. When his injuries are healed, I'll let him challenge you first. If he can defeat you, he can become Sect Master. How about it?" Fairy Xi Xuan said softly, her tone and gaze unchanged.

Han Jue hesitated and said, "Yes, but it's best to quietly carry out this battle. If it's spread in the sect, it will definitely spread in the cultivation world. I don't want to be in the limelight too much. Otherwise, it will attract endless trouble. Previously, I helped the Jade Pure Sect deal with the Viridescent Nether Cult and made a name for myself. This is also why Huang Jihao came."

"Of course. This will save Senior Guan some face."

Han Jue nodded.

Fairy Xi Xuan suddenly looked at the Black Hell Chicken in the corner and asked in surprise, "How did you raise this chicken? It looks extraordinary."

The Black Hell Chicken raised its head and snorted. "I'm a phoenix. Master told me that I will become a phoenix sooner or later."

Fairy Xi Xuan smiled.

A chicken wanted to become a phoenix?

"I got it from a farmer from the sect. It's quite boring to cultivate normally. It's not bad to have company," Han Jue explained with a smile.

He said nothing about the Black Hell Chicken's origins.

Even if he did, who would believe him?

The difference between a chicken and a phoenix was like that between a snake and a dragon.

Fairy Xi Xuan looked at him again and said, "The Immortal Domain Meeting that happens once every hundred years is about to begin. I have the Immortal Domain Token and can give it to you. This meeting is a rare event, you can obtain all the equipment, pills, treasures, and even cultivation techniques you want there, as long as you have enough resources."

Immortal Domain Meeting?

It sounded very impressive and lively.

If this was in a novel, it would definitely be a grand occasion for the protagonist to show off.

if he wasn't careful, he might gain new enemies!

He couldn't go!

Han Jue refused politely. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Master. I just want to enter seclusion. With my potential, I don't need to go out and take risks for the time being."

Fairy Xi Xuan nodded.

She then stood up and left.

Han Jue stood up to send her off.

After Fairy Xi Xuan left, he returned to the bed and started cultivating.

"Immortal Domain Meeting… tsk tsk, when I reach the Mahayana Realm, I can go take a look!"

Han Jue thought silently as he circulated his Qi.

…

The Vermilion Bird Sword Sect.

As a righteous sect in the cultivation world of the Great Yan Dynasty, there were nearly ten thousand disciples in the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect. Most of them cultivated in the way of the sword. The strongest sword cultivators in the Great Yan Dynasty were all from the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect.

…

Within the Sect Master's chambers, Huang Jihao sat on a mat, his expression extremely ugly.

Seated at the head of the table was the Sect Master of the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect, Tang Han.

Tang Han looked to be in his thirties or forties. He was also considered handsome. Under his sharp brows, his eyes were sharp. A sword floated on both sides of him. He also exuded an extremely sharp aura.

"You couldn't even take a single strike from him?" Tang Han asked with a frown.

Huang Jihao gritted his teeth. "Although I don't want to admit it, it's true. His spirit energy is extremely overbearing. This is the first time I've encountered such spirit energy. It's not a common attribute, nor is it a rare spirit root. I can't say for sure."

Recalling the scene when he faced the Heavenly Punishment Ghost Deity Sword, he couldn't help but shiver.

"Also…"

"Also what?"

"This person is extremely good-looking. In terms of looks, no one in our Vermilion Bird Sword Sect can compare to him."

"Is that important?"

"Well, not that important…"

Huang Jihao sighed. For some reason, there was a hint of pity in his tone.

Tang Han frowned.

He didn't expect the Jade Pure Sect to have such a figure!

In the outside world, Huang Jihao represented the highest combat power of the Vermilion Bird Sword Sect!

Although he felt that he was stronger than Huang Jihao, he was not that much stronger.

Huang Jihao continued, "That's right, the Raincoat Sect has appeared and is still targeting the Jade Pure Sect. After I recover, I plan to challenge them."

Tang Han nodded and said, "Although the Raincoat Sect started to decline a thousand years ago, its foundation can't be underestimated. Previously, the Great Grand Elder of the Jade Pure Sect came to me, hoping that the righteous path would join forces to fight against the Raincoat Sect. I didn't agree. If that person doesn't die, the Raincoat Sect can't perish."

"Who is that person?"

"The leader of the Raincoat Sect. This person was like you when he was young. He was high-spirited and by chance, he fell into the demonic path and became the leader of the Raincoat Sect. I heard from Grandmaster that in his generation, the leader of the Raincoat Sect was the strongest. This time, you can test his strength, but don't be reckless. If you can't defeat him, quickly retreat."

"Don't worry. I may be arrogant, but I'm not stupid."

"Of course."

…

Seven years passed quickly after Fairy Xi Xuan visited him.

Han Jue's cultivation level had reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm, and he was already chasing after the eighth!

Besides training, Han Jue had been paying attention to other people's situations through the interpersonal relationships function and emails.

After Yang Tiandong and Zhou Fan were caught by the Raincoat Sect, their cultivation levels increased.

In the past few years, they had not been attacked by the Raincoat Saint either. It seemed like they had given in.

However, their identities didn't become disciples of the Raincoat Sect. Han Jue guessed that they were only pretending to give in.

Li Qingzi, on the other hand, was frequently attacked by the Raincoat Sect and was frequently injured.

This Sect Master was really working too hard.

For the sake of his disciples, he had been running around everywhere. He was injured all the time and would continue to be injured when he recovered.

In addition, Guan Yougang had never come to find Han Jue.

Han Jue could understand.

Even Huang Jihao was no match for him. How could this fellow dare to challenge him?

It was worth mentioning that the Black Hell Chicken had grown faster and faster recently. Its strength was already equivalent to an eighth-level Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.

Not to mention a chicken, even if it was a cultivator, very few could achieve this speed.

The more it grew, the more curious it became about the outside world.

Han Jue had to brainwash it.

It's very dangerous outside!

Many people want to eat you!

You must be invincible before you can leave. Otherwise, you will definitely die. Even I, your master, don't dare to leave either!

As time passed, the Black Hell Chicken no longer dared to think about leaving. It only wanted to cultivate.

One fine day, Li Qingzi visited again.

Han Jue noticed that his aura was weak and his expression was not good. It seemed that he was seriously injured this time.

Li Qingzi gritted his teeth and said, "Something terrible has happened. Maple Leaf Valley has been destroyed by the Raincoat Sect. The next target is most likely our Jade Pure Sect. Before Maple Leaf Valley's Sect Master passed away, he sent a message to me. He said that there are ten Soul Formation cultivators in the Raincoat Sect, and they are enough to sweep through the cultivation world of the Great Yan Dynasty!"

When Han Jue heard that, he asked, "Then, why aren't we running?"

Li Qingzi was stunned.
