Chapter 176 The Death of Han Lan
In the third month after Lin Zhao went into seclusion, the door to imprison Han Lan was opened silently.

Han Lan, who was once prominent in the Lin family, did not lose his prestige as a master alchemist. He remained calm and composed.

Seeing the dark and gloomy surroundings, the newcomer chuckled.

"Han Lan, Han Lan, look at yourself! If only you had agreed to cast the reincarnation curse on Lin Zhao back then, Lin Zhao would be dead. Who else could have taken over the Lin family? You wouldn't be in this state now. Tsk tsk tsk, a dignified fifth-grade alchemist reduced to a prisoner."

Han Lan slightly opened her eyes, saw who it was, and chuckled, "Do you think you stray dogs can have a good life for long? You're laughing at me now, but little do you know you'll be in a worse situation than me soon."

Before the person could even process what Han Lan meant, he tried to take a step forward, but his feet became immobile.

He looked down and saw a patch of ice beneath his feet. This method...

"Cold mist over the South China Sea?"

In the shadows of the prison cell, unnoticed by anyone, a slender and petite figure slowly walked into the light; it was none other than Han Yan, a teacher from the South China Sea Academy.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Han Yan threw out the Immortal Binding Rope, blocking the other party's spiritual energy circulation before they could commit suicide: "Say what you have to say before the Three Venerables' joint trial."

Han Lan's lips twitched as he watched this scene. He knew that after this person appeared, he could no longer hide the fact that he had long been colluding with the Ancestral Dragon Continent, and he would inevitably die.

As one is about to die, the fears of the past are no longer so great. He sat in the corner and said to Han Yan with some malice, "Teacher Han Yan, I didn't expect that even after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, you would still be willing to be a small teacher at the South China Sea Academy. It seems that the death of your fellow disciple back then had a great impact on you."

Han Yan looked at him coldly.

Han Lan seemed oblivious to Han Yan's icy gaze, laughing maniacally to himself: "Why do you hate Immortal Venerable Xuanji? Even if you had let your severely injured junior sister board the escape ship back then, her injuries would still have led to her demonic fall. Rather than letting her live a life worse than death, it would have been better to let her be devoured by the demons there and leave us a way out, hahahahahaha!"

Han Yan clenched her fists and turned to strike Han Lan's vital point.

"Teacher Hanyan, calm down!"

The girl's voice brought Han Yan back to her senses. Han Yan closed her eyes, gritted her teeth for a long time, and finally reached out and placed her hand on Han Lan's shoulder.

“I will seek revenge on Tong Que for her death. As for you… you have wasted your life.”

Han Lan, who still had courage in the face of death, felt his cultivation gradually dissipate under Han Yan's palm strike. His pupils shrank, and he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

But no matter how much he begged for mercy, Han Yan still did not remove the hand that was dissipating his cultivation.

He could only kowtow to Lin Zhao, who appeared behind him.

"Master, Master, save me, save me! I held you when you were little, do you remember? When you were little, I even asked my master to treat your injuries!"

Looking at the disheveled old man before him, whose age was now evident due to his declining cultivation, Lin Zhao said to Han Yan, "Teacher, let's preserve his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Han Yan transformed her palm into a finger and tapped Han Lan's shoulder. When his cultivation level dropped to the Foundation Establishment stage, it stopped falling.

Han Yan led the people of the Ancestral Dragon Continent away, and before Han Lan could even breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that his spiritual energy had been completely sealed by Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao was no match for him in the past, but now Lin Zhao is a cultivator in the Fusion stage, while he is in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Such a difference...

Lin Zhao could kill him with a single breath.

"Ask whatever you want. After that, just consider my past with the Lin family and give me a quick death. Don't cripple my cultivation. I would rather die than return to being an ordinary person at the mercy of others." Han Lan said numbly, his face ashen.

Lin Zhao said, "You were behind the Reincarnation Poison given to Ning Wengui."

Han Lan nodded: "The Grand Preceptor of the Youlan Empire is from the Qing Dynasty of the Ancestral Dragon Continent. He is loyal to the Third Prince of the Qing Dynasty. I don't know what the Ancestral Dragon Continent is planning to do. I only know that the Grand Preceptor is a very strong Spirit Talisman Master. He gave me a lot of things with the Netherworld Python Soul, and taught me how to refine the Reincarnation Poison and how to put several special pill imprints on the poison."

Lin Zhao's eyes flickered: "Could you draw that pill mark for me?" Han Lan was silent for a moment, then said: "Give my grandson a quick death too, he knows nothing."

Lin Zhao nodded: "Okay."

Han Lan reached out and took out a scroll. Because his spiritual energy was sealed, he could only write with ordinary pen and ink.

With the brush down and ink flowing, Han Lan shook his head and handed the scroll, along with the ring on his hand, to Lin Zhao.

"I know that all things will be in vain as I depart, so I'm giving these things to you as well. Little girl, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lin Zhao squatted down to take the item and looked him in the eye: "What did you mean when you said you'd give me the Rebirth Poison as well?"

Han Lan curled his lips: "What I said before was just nonsense. The Reincarnation Poison Curse uses the resentment of the Netherworld Python as a catalyst. You have the Phoenix Luck, so the Reincarnation Poison Curse can't harm you."

“But my Phoenix Luck was initially very weak, so it might not be unaffected,” Lin Zhao said. “Besides, you were the one who most supported my annulment of the engagement with Ning Wengui. At that time, you wanted to ensure that I wouldn’t be affected by the Reincarnation Curse in the future, right?”

Han Lan smiled and said, "Maybe."

He didn't leave when the Lin family was at its lowest point, so he must have some feelings for the family, especially since Lin Zhao was a little girl he watched grow up. Within his power, he naturally didn't want to harm her.

Unfortunately, his ambition had been out of control ever since he began cooperating with the Ancestral Dragon Continent out of greed.

When Lin Zhao was still an infant, he still had affection for her, but when Lin Zhao rose to a high position, all he cared about was using and scheming.

They have only themselves to blame for ending up like this.

Lin Zhao finally asked him, "Whose child is Ning Wengui?"

Han Lan didn't answer directly, but pointed to the tiger-head lock on the door, and Lin Zhao instantly understood.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but dragons might.

A sharp glint of light flashed, and Han Lan collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"Collect Master Han's body."

After seeing Han Lan off, Lin Zhao saw that the elders had handled most of the other matters of the Lin family. Reassured, she established the rules according to Grandma Honghu's previous instructions and then prepared to take her leave.

"Is the patriarch going to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent?" the First Elder asked.

"No, before we go there, there are some things we need to clarify and give to the Three Venerables."

……

Yulan Empire.

Returning to the familiar place, Lin Zhao had no interest in appreciating it.

This time, she sent an invitation directly to the Emperor of the Yulan Empire and soon met with him.

Lin Zhao, who once had to show respect to the Emperor as a junior, is now above Emperor Youlan in status.

Emperor Youlan was not a narrow-minded person; he was just slightly moved when he bowed to Lin Zhao.

This young girl, who could have been his daughter-in-law, was pushed away by him.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I have come here to ask some questions about the fate of the Yulan Kingdom."

She wanted to know whether Emperor Youlan himself knew that Ning Wengui was not his son.
