Several Nascent Soul cultivators trembled with fear, yet dared not disobey, and walked over in a shaky manner.

Han Jianghe took a deep breath and forced himself to calmly step forward.

The two elders, Han Sanguan and Han Changye, who were at the Refinement Void Realm, also dawdled as they approached Han Jiangchen's side.

The two were extremely nervous and didn't dare to breathe.

They knew all too well how terrifying someone like Gu Xinghe was.

They were even more afraid that Han Jiangchen would throw them out as scapegoats to protect his family.

Just then, someone no one expected made a move.

Suddenly, a figure leaped up from the crowd below and landed steadily beside Han Jianghe.

The man held a long sword, the tip of which was pointed directly at Gu Xinghe in mid-air. His face was full of anger, and he looked indignant.

This person was none other than Lin Feng.

Han Jianghe was taken aback at first, then his expression suddenly changed.

He inwardly cried out in alarm.

This idiot, he won't do anything reckless, will he?

However, before Han Jianghe could stop him, Lin Feng had already started yelling and cursing.

"Where did this old dog come from, daring to run wild in my Han family!"

My Han family is the number one family in Nanhua County, why would we be afraid of you!

I'm not afraid to tell you, the body in that jade coffin was burned by us!

I remain true to my name and surname; I am Ji Canghai, a guest retainer of the Han family.

"Today I will kill you, you old dog, for the Han family, and rid the Han family of this great scourge!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

The Han family members gasped in shock.

Han Jianghe's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

He froze, his mind going completely blank.

At that moment, he finally understood a sentence.

Bad people are certainly hateful, but stupid people are even more deadly.

The entire place was eerily quiet.

It was a deathly stillness more unbearable than death itself.

The air seemed to freeze, throughout the entire Jiuyuan Mountain.

Thousands upon thousands of eyes were now focused on Lin Feng.

All eyes turned to Lin Feng.

Gu Xinghe reacted the most strongly.

He turned his head abruptly, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his face.

He stared intently at Lin Feng, a low, hoarse roar escaping his throat:

"What did you say? The body was burned?"

The sound was like a thunderclap, making everyone's ears ring.

The killing intent emanating from Gu Xinghe was almost tangible; the black longsword trembled violently in his hand.

The air seemed to scorch because of his anger.

Before Lin Feng could reply, another, even more violent aura exploded out first.

Han Jiangchen gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.

His lips trembled slightly, and he looked like a volcano about to erupt.

He stared intently at Lin Feng, spitting out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to frame my Han family!"

You deserve to die!

Before he could finish speaking, Han Jiangchen had already made his move.

He showed no intention of holding back, and didn't even want to say a single unnecessary polite word.

An extremely terrifying aura erupted from his body, carrying a destructive power capable of crushing everything.

It hurtled towards Lin Feng.

Wherever that strike passed, space itself was slightly distorted.

The spiritual energy was instantly drained, turning into a blinding white light.

He wanted to silence them in that instant.

This strike contained all the anger and killing intent of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Han Jiangchen's position as the head of the Han family wasn't solely due to his bloodline.

If this palm strike lands, not to mention a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, even a Void Refinement Realm cultivator would have no chance of survival.

If we kill this rambling guest and pin the blame on him, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

At the very least, we can't let Gu Xinghe hold the Han family responsible for this.

Therefore, this "Ji Canghai" must die, and he must die immediately.

However, just as that world-destroying power was about to touch Lin Feng...

What happened next shocked everyone.

Lin Feng's figure simply vanished into thin air.

There was no warning, and no fluctuation of spiritual energy.

He vanished into the world as if he had never existed.

The speed was so fast that even Han Jiangchen's divine sense couldn't lock onto it in time.

Han Jiangchen's attack, which was powerful enough to turn a mountain into dust, also missed its mark.

A terrifying burst of energy exploded in mid-air, but the place was already empty.

The feeling was like punching cotton; all the force was completely neutralized, without causing the slightest disturbance.

Han Jiangchen's pupils suddenly contracted.

He disappeared at almost the same instant.

He then released his divine sense without reservation.

How terrifying is the divine sense of a mid-stage Integration Realm cultivator?

Like a giant net that blots out the sky, it instantly covered the entire Jiuyuan Mountain.

Even the entire city of Haicheng was enveloped by it.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every brick, and every tile is subject to his perception.

Even so, he searched and searched again, but found nothing.

No, there's nothing at all.

The person named "Ji Canghai" seemed to have been completely erased from this world.

There was no aura, no trace, not even a trace of spiritual fluctuation.

It was as if this person was just an illusion from beginning to end, a shadow that did not exist in this world.

Such a terrifying escape technique caused everyone present to gasp in astonishment.

To be able to escape right under the nose of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

Moreover, it happened so silently, which is beyond the scope of what "escape techniques" can explain.

This is clearly some kind of supernatural power involving the laws of space.

Those who can achieve this level, even if their cultivation is not at the Integration Realm, are definitely not to be trifled with.

Han Xiangting stood below, trembling with anger.

He had suspected there was something wrong with this "Ji Canghai" before.

A rogue cultivator, faced with a treasure as precious as the White Jade Token,

It's illogical to be willing to give it up so easily.

He had previously thought it was just stupidity.

But looking back now, how could that have been stupid?

That was clearly premeditated!

That was an elaborate trap!

This person first feigned joining the Han family to gain their trust, and then used the news of the White Jade Token to attract various forces.

Finally, he said those words in front of Gu Xinghe.

This is clearly a move to drive the Han family to their doom!

But now, the person has already run away.

They ran away without a trace, running with unparalleled grace.

And what about the Han family?

But he has to face Gu Xinghe alone, who has completely gone mad.

Han Jianghe's mind went completely blank at this moment.

It was as if his soul had been ripped out.

He stood there in mid-air, his face ashen.

His lips trembled incessantly, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He knew he was doomed.

Damn it, this isn't some perfect guest advisor, he's clearly a death knell for the Han family!

He's a jinx that's going to drag the Han family into utter ruin!

He opened his mouth, as if to say something to Han Jiangchen beside him.

But when he tried to speak, his lips trembled and he couldn't utter a single word.

Gu Xinghe's face was now indescribably ugly.

His hand holding the black longsword trembled slightly, not from fear, but from extreme anger.

"The Han family...they've got guts!"

He whispered, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, "How dare you burn my wife's body... You all deserve to die. You all deserve to die!"
