Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle

The sharp, golden aura swept across his skin, causing the leopard to tremble and lose its previous toughness.

"This place is actually Linjiang County. Could it be that I have wandered so far away?"

He tried to recall his experience of arriving here, but his mind was so foggy and he was in a dull ache that he could only remember the general outline.

"I was being chased by several people from the Tuchi tribe and was being pursued by blood bees. In desperation, I jumped into the river."

"They couldn't catch me, so I drifted downstream. As soon as I came out, I smelled some witchcraft. I followed the scent and found several people practicing Qi cultivation in the forest, performing witchcraft and driving monsters westward."

"I dared not make a sound, fearing that these people would find out. But when I turned around, I encountered a beast tide and was forced to use my escape technique to flee for my life."

"Finally, exhausted, he fled into the territory of a celestial clan and casually hid in the home of an ordinary person."

Han Jieyu saw that Hu Erbao's expression changed, and knew that these barbarians were afraid of power but not morality, so he chuckled inwardly.

Immediately, a sharp aura condensed again on his neck, and Han Jieyu revealed an unfriendly expression, asking...

"You barbarian! Since you are from a tribe near Donghe County, how did you get here and sneak into my home?"

"Strange movements... Could someone be behind this? If you can't explain why, this will be your fate."

With that, he waved his hand, and the restrained golden energy pulverized the bone jade on the ground.

Hu'erbao had finally reached the late stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm and was a powerful figure in his tribe, so naturally he was unwilling to die easily.

Seeing that the threat seemed genuine, he tensed up, fearing that Han Jieyu might actually send him to meet the celestial witch.

So he didn't hold back at all and revealed the whole process, even giving his own name.

Seeing this, Han Jieyu shook his head.

"You want to kill me or torture me? I'm ready to die. I've never seen such a cowardly barbarian."

"But there is indeed a Yangtang River a dozen miles away from my Han family's place, which connects to the depths of that Dasuyuan. What they say seems to be true..."

Han Jieyu discerned the truth in his words, while Han Chiting, as if realizing something, frowned and asked.

"Do you still remember what the person who cast the spell looked like?"

Seeing that the people in front of him had not made a move, Hu'erbao was about to sigh and think that what the shaman said seemed to be wrong.

Aside from the vicious stranger who had bound him and brought him up the mountain, the people outside didn't seem too scary.

Especially the black-haired man standing at the back who didn't say a word, who didn't care at all about his barbarian identity.

Hu Erbao suddenly heard Han Chiting ask him a question and quickly answered.

"I couldn't recognize a few of them, but I could see the leader clearly. Those cultivators not only had the magic of [shamans], but also the ability to manipulate soil and shake the earth's veins."

Hu Erbao described the leader's appearance. After listening, Han Chiting's face turned extremely gloomy, clearly having recognized his identity.

"Yuan Chengchi... So that's how it is. This beast tide was actually a scheme by the Yuan family..."

This piece of information is almost like a snake thread, connecting all the past events together.

Han Jieyu also heard it, and after a moment's thought, he realized what was happening and gritted his teeth.

"They've gone too far! Such low tactics! How dare the Yuan family act like this..."

Han Chiting shook his head, stopping Han Jieyu.

"Stop discussing it, let's think about how to deal with this barbarian first."

After Hu Erbao finished delivering the news, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the conversation had shifted to other matters.

Hearing this, he was startled again, noticing that the black-haired man with a calm expression had spoken up.

"This barbarian knows too much and his cultivation is too weak, so we might as well kill him."

Although Han Jieliu was not at home in the past, judging from the actions of the Yuan family, these things were enough to sort out a clear line of information, and he knew that the Yuan family had been the mastermind behind the beast tide.

Seeing that the Yuan family would drive their own people to slaughter like cattle and sheep every now and then, they naturally felt a cold hatred in their hearts.

Hu'erbao was on the verge of tears, never expecting that the cultivator he trusted most would be so heartless.

"Never mind, the information he shared might still be useful. Let's wait for the clan chief to return before making a decision. For now, let's put him in the clan prison."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Han Shediao walked in from outside the door, seemingly having received prior notification.

He bowed to everyone and then led Huerbao away.

After the two men left completely, only three people remained in the courtyard.

Han Chiting's expression returned to calm. Those who could survive the trials and tribulations of the cultivation world and achieve Qi Refining were certainly not fools.

Their performance just now was merely an act for that barbarian's benefit. After all, his origins were unknown, and he was very likely sent by the Yuan family to lure them out with this information.

He turned to Han Jieyu and asked.

"Jieyu, how credible do you think Huerbao's words are?"

Han Jieyu pondered for a moment, then his expression darkened.

"What this barbarian said is indeed true; he has the stench of a demon on him, and the timing matches up."

"If what he said is true, and it is indeed the Yuan family's doing all along, then their actions can be described as... a fight to the death with my family."

Han Chiting's gaze was also heavy.

"Given the past dealings with the Zhuang family, the three families in Huannan have always harbored a relationship of mutual desire to eliminate the other two families, though it hasn't been made public."

"But the Yuan family's methods are truly despicable and hateful, and utterly contemptible."

Han Jieliu, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but just thought silently, until Han Chiting spoke again.

"Once the clan chief returns home, he will have that barbarian lead the way to that place to investigate the spirits, and then we will know the answer."

"That Huerbao Dao was detected through the aura of witchcraft. Since no one in my family practices this witchcraft technique, we couldn't detect it, and it took us so long to discover it."

Thinking of this, he looked down the mountain. The corpses of mortals who had perished in the beast tide had not yet been completely moved and were being transported by cart.

Hands and feet were still twitching in the blood, but due to the severity of the injuries, they could only be hastily buried. Occasionally, mournful cries could be heard.

Meanwhile, his cousin is still seriously injured and lying in the ancestral hall.

The memories from twenty years ago and the recent experience of the beast tide intertwined, causing a surge of heat to rise in Han Chiting's chest and abdomen, almost bursting out.

But he forced himself to swallow it, calmed down, and looked at Han Jieliu and Han Jieyu.

"The Yuan family is powerful now. Even if that's true, my family shouldn't act rashly. We should just pretend we don't know anything."

"Whether the Yuan family member can succeed is still unknown. If he really becomes a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, Jie Liu will have the Xue family's favor and a powerful backer, so he certainly won't dare to be too presumptuous."

"The patriarch is quite talented. If he cultivates sword qi and wields Shangluqing, he may not be afraid of Yuan Yingtuan in the Zhuqing Heqi Formation."

"Both of you have the potential to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. You should stay in seclusion and focus on your cultivation. My Han family will eventually rise to prominence."
