Longevity: Start with the farming game!

When Han Xuanyu faced the imposing auras and seemingly transcendental silhouettes of the two divine beasts,

the pressure and feeling of being overwhelmed by a powerful enemy couldn't help but rise within him.

"They're strong! Even if I used my innate divine ability to draw spiritual energy from spirit stones and cast powerful spells against them both,"

"I'm afraid I could only seriously injure them, but not kill them..."

"But thinking about it, that makes sense. These two are able to hold high positions in the Listening Heaven Pavilion."

"Without some strength, they wouldn't be able to keep people in check. Their cultivation aptitude and physique are both top-tier!"

"Moreover, these kinds of prodigies likely all have the idea of polishing each layer of their cultivation to perfection."

"After all, the pursuit of the strongest is not just a few individuals' idea..."

Thinking of this, Han Xuanyu looked at Zhang Zhentian and Liu Jing, who had respectful expressions, and calmly said:

"You may dispense with the formalities. Which of you is Zhang Zhentian?"

Zhang Zhentian and Liu Jing were relieved when Han Xuanyu finally spoke.

They were definitely nervous when Han Xuanyu stared at them without saying a word.

On one hand, Han Xuanyu came with the Vermilion Bird Token, so they had to take him seriously.

On the other hand, they couldn't discern Han Xuanyu's cultivation level or appearance.

And after being intimidated by Han Xuanyu's aura, Zhang Zhentian and Liu Jing couldn't help but be shocked and doubtful:

"Could this senior also be a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

The more they thought about this possibility, the more awe they felt!

Now, after hearing Han Xuanyu's question, Zhang Zhentian stepped forward and bowed even more respectfully:

"Senior, this junior is Zhang Zhentian!"

Seeing this, Han Xuanyu only glanced at him slightly before saying in a low voice: "Now that you've seen the Vermilion Bird Token,"

"you should know my purpose, right?"

Zhang Zhentian instantly understood upon hearing this, and he still bowed respectfully and meticulously: "This junior understands!"

"The sinner Ji Gao has been imprisoned in the Blazing Water Prison. Senior, please follow me!"

As Zhang Zhentian spoke, he smoothly took out a small flying ship magic treasure: "Senior, please!"

Seeing this, Han Xuanyu glanced at Zhang Zhentian with satisfaction (although Zhang Zhentian couldn't see his expression).

Then, he unhurriedly boarded the ship and found the best seat.

Liu Jing silently watched from the side, wanting to say something several times, but forcibly held back.

He didn't know Han Xuanyu's personality, so Liu Jing was afraid that speaking rashly would displease Han Xuanyu...

The Blazing Water Prison was located deep underground in the Listening Heaven Pavilion, with layers of formations suppressing it and cultivators guarding it.

The Blazing Water Prison's shape resembled a round lake, filled with liquid that was like water and fire...

"This is the Blazing Water Prison?"

Han Xuanyu, who had arrived here, only glanced roughly around.

Then, he focused his gaze on the center of the pool, where the unconscious Ji Gao was bound by endless water chains.

Zhang Zhentian noticed Han Xuanyu's gaze.

He immediately hooked his finger, and the water chains in the pool quickly extended and moved:

"Senior, this junior will capture him!"

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the water chains pulled Ji Gao to a position about ten feet away from Han Xuanyu.

Han Xuanyu only glanced at Ji Gao, who was covered in wounds.

Then, Han Xuanyu said indifferently: "Is he the only one? No one else?"

Zhang Zhentian's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he glanced at Liu Jing with resentment.

The look in his eyes was obvious, "Look what you've done, how am I supposed to explain this?"

Liu Jing's eyes flickered upon seeing this, and he remained silent.

Zhang Zhentian sighed slightly in his heart upon seeing this, and then apologized to Han Xuanyu:

"Senior, my colleague Liu Jing was too eager to catch the enemy, which led to him being a bit heavy-handed."

"Therefore, only Ji Gao was captured alive, the other sinners were... all wiped out..."

Han Xuanyu's expression didn't change upon hearing this. Earlier, after seeing Liu Jing use that powerful Fire Serpent spell from afar,

Han Xuanyu knew that the people in the City Lord's Mansion were probably mostly dead.

Han Xuanyu asked this question specifically to set the stage for the following conversation.

"I didn't come today to specifically name and kill the people in the City Lord's Mansion."

"But to shift Zhang Zhentian and Liu Jing's attention away from the Profound Truth Sect."

"After Master directly told Liu Jing that she would take care of the Profound Truth Sect and the Five Great Families,"

"Liu Jing will definitely suspect that someone in the Profound Truth Sect or the Five Great Families has a close relationship with Master (Yun Yingyue)."

"In that case, Liu Jing will definitely try to find this person, which is me."

"This obviously conflicts with my idea of developing in a low-profile manner."

"So, today, after using the Hermit Spring Water, I enhanced their belief in my words."

"Therefore, just make up a tenable reason to prove that the Profound Truth Sect has no relationship with Master..."

Thinking of this, Han Xuanyu turned to look at Zhang Zhentian and Liu Jing, and said in a slightly cold tone:

"All wiped out? I don't think so, right? Did Liu Jing kill them all personally?"

Liu Jing's heart tightened upon hearing Han Xuanyu's displeased tone, but he could only grit his teeth and answer:

"Reporting to Senior... no... I didn't kill them all personally..."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhentian wisely reduced his presence, fearing that Han Xuanyu would question him.

Seeing the two of them under great pressure, Han Xuanyu quickly seized the opportunity and began to "weave"... tell a story:

"Let me tell you two the truth."

"The main reason why Fellow Daoist Yun had you take down the City Lord's Mansion"

"wasn't because Ji Gao wanted to use the Listening Heaven Pavilion as a knife to eliminate the Profound Truth Sect and the small families on Guanhai Road."

"The real reason is because of Ji Gao's son—Ji Ming."

"He possesses a demonic secret treasure with strange power!"

"If I don't destroy his secret treasure, Ji Ming will definitely become a great threat to the Listening Heaven Pavilion in the future!!!"

"And according to my unique magic treasure's perception, Ji Ming is not only not dead but is living well!"

"But unfortunately, I can't determine his exact location now..."

"Liu Jing, Zhang Zhentian, your ability to handle affairs is really making me... disappointed!"

Liu Jing's face turned pale upon hearing this, and his body trembled. He really didn't expect things to be so serious.

Even Zhang Zhentian, who was acting as a background, began to breathe erratically, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Han Xuanyu only curled the corners of his mouth, "The "enchantment" effect of the Hermit Spring Water is really strong!"

Then, Han Xuanyu struck while the iron was hot:

"In the past, Ji Ming always used the excuse of taking a fancy to other people's wives in Guanhai City to forcibly take concubines."

"In reality, he was destroying the small families behind these women and their husbands, thereby secretly collecting cultivators' flesh and blood!"

"And the reason why Ji Gao risked so much this time to use the Listening Heaven Pavilion as a knife to kill the Profound Truth Sect and those small families"

"was to harvest a large amount of high-level cultivators' flesh and blood without spending a single soldier to use the demonic secret treasure!!!"

"You can check, Ji Ming's cultivation has been steadily increasing every time he takes a concubine."

"The reason lies here!"

Zhang Zhentian and Liu Jing's expressions changed even more upon hearing this. They really didn't expect there to be such a secret.

The two quickly guaranteed to Han Xuanyu in unison:

"This Ji Ming is deeply scheming and must not be left alive!!!"

"As for the so-called demonic secret treasure, your subordinates will definitely "go all out" to find it and hand it over to Senior!!!"
