"There are so few people like him. Every one who dies is one less. If only I could help." Today, he could only watch helplessly as Elder Zuo fought to protect him and his brother, unable to do anything to help. Wu Xie's desire to become stronger grew even stronger.

Looking at the intense desire shining in Han Wuxie's eyes, Hua Qianye's lips curled up slightly.

It seems I should take her to see more of the world in the future; I think she'll gain even more from it!

He was very satisfied with the light in Han Wuxie's eyes today. He knew that because of today's events, this child had understood the cruelty of battle. In battle, there is no good or bad. Whether it is using poison or trickery, only those who win can be considered heroes. If they lose, they will be doomed and their lives will be hanging by a thread.

"Before you think about saving him, shouldn't you consider your own situation? That guy is still outside the manor, waiting to arrest people!" Hua Qianye raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Wu Xie rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and snorted, "Isn't there still you? If you had given it your all, Elder Zuo and Elder You wouldn't be in this mess!"

"Hey! And you're blaming me now!" Hua Qianye said with a wry smile, "Is it my duty to save you? I could have chosen not to!"

"If you don't save me, are you just going to wait for me to die and let the ring fall into the hands of that bad guy?" Wu Xie didn't back down at all, staring straight at Hua Qianye, who instead felt a little guilty under her gaze.

"Forget it, you're more pleasing to the eye than that guy!" Hua Qianye stretched his neck and two medicine bottles flew out of his sleeve and landed in Wu Xie's hand. Hua Qianye said smugly, "The white one is a longevity elixir, and the green one is an antidote."

"An elixir of immortality? You have this? Why didn't you take it out sooner?" Wu Xie was somewhat incredulous that such a precious item could fill such a full bottle.

"Take it out earlier? To save the Tian family patriarch?" Hua Qianye chuckled strangely. "I'm the one who turned him into that state. Why would I use my medicine to save him? Wouldn't I be just asking for trouble?"

"What do you mean by turning him into that?" Wu Xie's brows furrowed slowly.

"I'll tell you all about it when I get back! I'm going to 'visit' that guy outside the manor!" Hua Qianye's figure flickered and disappeared in a flash of blue light.

……

The Boundless Sea was calm, without any trace of the war between immortals and demons.

But the calmer things were, the more worried Han Mengxiao became.

"Brother, there are many islands on the Boundless Sea. Shall we split up and search for them separately?" Wan Li Cang seemed to be asking Han Mengxiao, but in reality, he was reminding him that it was time for him to take charge and that he couldn't lose his composure.

Han Mengxiao took a deep breath, nodded, and instructed, "The seven elders will split into two teams. Four will protect Rou'er and search the eastern islands, while three will protect Yu'er and search the northern islands. Shi'er is not well, so he will go with your Uncle Wan to search the southern islands, and I will search the western islands."

"Father, how can you go alone? The guards aren't with you!" Han Yu nudged the two elders beside her, saying, "You two protect my father!"

"Yu'er, your father is already a celestial being in the heavens. If anyone can threaten me, what use are they? They're just fodder for me!" After saying this, Han Mengxiao didn't wait for her son to say anything more before she sped off towards the western island.

……

Wu Xie wanted to quickly give Elder Zuo the antidote and the longevity elixir, but when she poured out the precious longevity elixir, she became troubled.

If Elder Zuo were to wake up and ask me how he woke up and how he was cured of the poison, how should I answer him?

Just as Wu Xie was troubled, Hua Qianye slowly approached the old man guarding the entrance of Yunrou Manor.

"Healing your wounds? Your healing elixir is of a pretty good grade!" Hua Qianye made sure the other person could hear him, but he deliberately changed his tone, making his voice sound like that of a sinister old man.

The white-clad man, disguised as an old man, was sitting cross-legged healing his injuries when he heard the voice. He tensed up and instinctively jumped up, making a defensive move.

"Are you afraid of me?" Hua Qianye's voice carried a hint of disdain. "You're just a Golden Immortal, and you've suffered such serious injuries. You should indeed be afraid of me."

"Who are you? Show yourself!" The old man knew his injuries were too severe, so he spoke politely. Normally, he might have attacked without saying a word.

"Show yourself?" Hua Qianye said in the arrogant tone of an elder, "Boy, do you think you are qualified to see my true face? Let me remind you, those who have seen my true face have all been reduced to ashes. If you want to be reduced to ashes, I can grant your wish."

The old man froze, then shook his head vigorously.

He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He couldn't see who was coming, but the voice was right next to his ear. The oppressive aura emanating from the other person made it hard for him to breathe.

Could he be a Celestial Lord? But how could a Celestial Lord appear here?

He tried to calm himself down and said humbly and politely, "Senior, I don't understand why you would appear in front of Yunrou Manor, but if you are just passing by, I beg you not to meddle in my affairs today."

Others might see this person's humble and polite demeanor and think he's a good person, but in Hua Qianye's eyes, the other person is a hypocritical little man. His constant use of "this humble one" is so pretentious that it makes Hua Qianye feel disgusted.

"Mind your own business?" Hua Qianye repeated these four words with amusement. With a slight raise of his hand, a fierce wind howled and rushed towards the other party. Due to the immense power, the invisible wind rapidly transformed into a tangible object, resembling a giant palm.

"Slap slap slap..." Before the old man could react, his face was already burning hot, having been slapped more than a dozen times.

The slaps continued to relentlessly strike his face. The other man spoke in a languid yet chilling voice, "Whether I meddle or not is none of your business! Don't put on airs in front of me. You'd better hide your disgustingly hypocritical act!"

"Senior...Senior...Please stop hitting me! I...no, I, I dare not do it again! Please, senior, have mercy! If you spare me, I will grant you any request!" The old man mumbled as he coughed up blood. His face was swollen and red like a pig's head.

"Any requests?" Hua Qianye's lazy, playful tone carried a hint of hesitation, as if he were genuinely considering the question.

Hearing that the other party seemed willing to continue the conversation, the old man breathed a slight sigh of relief and said humbly, "Senior, a master like you wouldn't meddle in other people's business, you're probably just curious, curious as to why I launched a surprise attack on Yunrou Manor, right?"

"Indeed! Everyone in the immortal realm knows that Yunrou Manor is the residence of Han Rou, the third young lady of the Han family. The Han family is notoriously protective of its own. How dare you launch a surprise attack here, disregarding the Han family's interests? Besides, you're just a Golden Immortal; for you to be so bold, there must be an immense temptation to take such a risk, right?" Since the other party considers him a reclusive master, it might be wise to play along. It might even be possible to uncover this person's background. After all, it's unlikely that someone would dare to launch a surprise attack as soon as a Han family master leaves the Han family.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. If the initial purpose of setting up this scheme was for Hongbao, then after learning that Han Mengxiao had given Hongbao to the useless child, everything had turned sour due to jealousy, and his goal had become killing that child.

Now that such a master has appeared before us, why not make good use of him? The treasure is so precious that even a Celestial Lord would probably find it hard to resist its allure!

"Senior's abilities are far beyond my reach, and I dare not deceive you. Indeed, there was an immense temptation that made me so bold as to take such a risk!"

"Oh?" Hua Qianye asked with feigned curiosity, "Then I'd like to hear carefully what kind of wonderful thing could make you take such a risk?"

The old man said candidly, "It's a rare treasure, and a top-grade one at that!"
