Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Chapter 1292 Attitude Must Be Corrected

Hearing this, Jiang Han also became somewhat wary.

Although he was confident he could escape from the other party, given the other party's terrifying wealth and resources, if they really wanted to attack him, even if he could escape, it would be difficult for him to take Senior Brother Zheng away safely.

In that case, it's better to be well prepared, just in case. If the risk is too great, he might as well look elsewhere and maybe find a few similar ones.

After thinking it over, Jiang Han nodded and replied, "Then I'll tell Senior Brother Meng. He knows Gu Chenyin quite well. If he says he can't go, then we won't go for now."

Zheng Hanyun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in agreement: "Junior Brother has such strength, yet he remains humble and composed. That's truly rare."

He took out the communication jade slip to contact Meng Qinghong, and after receiving a positive reply, he was overjoyed and said:

"Since Senior Brother Meng says everything is fine, there shouldn't be any surprises. Let's go now."

The thought of chasing after someone right after you've just beaten them up is thrilling.

The four bid each other farewell. Jing and Liang entered the place to participate in the trials, while Jiang Han and Zheng Hanyun transformed into rainbows and fled in the direction Wang Yanshi had left.

Further ahead, Wang Yanshi, who had been quite relaxed, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a sharp pain between his brows. A warning sign struck him, and he sensed something was wrong.

"Oh no, could something have happened?"

Such unprovoked warnings are the most terrifying. You don't know where the danger is, or where it comes from. You only know that the danger is extremely great, even life-threatening. This makes you panic, feel uneasy, and is extremely exhausting.

Faced with such a great crisis, he dared not conserve his strength any longer. He hurriedly instructed his junior brother to summon the puppet and flee towards the Thousand Machine Pavilion at full speed.

Upon reflection, the only people who could make him feel so threatened at this time, besides the Sword Sect, were probably no one else.

Could it be that Jiang Han regretted letting him go and is chasing after him again?!

The moment this thought crossed Wang Yanshi's mind, he was filled with fear and felt his life was in danger. He urged his junior brother to take out the spirit crystals and unleash the puppet's full power, no longer hesitating to expend energy, and fled at top speed.

In his current state, if he were to fall into Jiang Han's hands again, he would probably be skinned alive!

Damn it, didn't they say that as long as the treasure was handed over, nothing would happen? Does this kid not keep his word and want to kill me to cover it up?

But he is penniless right now, without even a single spirit stone. He even uses his junior brother's healing pills. If Jiang Han really kills him, he will only offend the Thousand Machine Pavilion and will not gain any benefit at all. Why would the other party do this?

Wang Yanshi was panicked and confused. He only wanted to escape as quickly as possible and dared not have the slightest thought of staying to fight back.

Fortunately, they had already been on the run for a while, and since this place was not too far from their encampment, and the two of them were fleeing with all their might regardless of the cost, they managed to escape back to the city guarded by the Spirit Talisman Palace before being caught.

Upon entering the city, the two shouted for people to activate the formation while rushing towards Gu Chenyin's secluded cultivation location.

The entire city erupted in commotion at their return, with countless cultivators rushing about. The city's protective formation was quickly activated, illuminating a golden shield that firmly protected the city.

Immediately afterwards, several streaks of light exuding the aura of Nascent Soul cultivators flew into the sky. They carefully scanned the surroundings with their divine senses and, seeing nothing unusual, rushed towards a three-story pavilion in the northwest of the city.

This pavilion is where Gu Chenyin secluded herself for cultivation.

The group quickly went up to the second floor, and after only a glance, they set their sights on Wang Yanshi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Senior Brother Wang? What's going on...?"

Everyone looked at Wang Yanshi's weak breath and could hardly believe their eyes.

Senior Brother Wang is a powerful expert who was able to escape with his life from the hands of a disciple who had just passed the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Even when he sparred with Senior Brother Gu, he did not suffer such serious injuries. Who could have injured him like this?

The group exchanged glances, and someone whispered, "Didn't Senior Brother go to spar with Jiang Han? How come he's so badly injured? Did he run into Meng Qinghong?"

"I see. If it was Meng Qinghong, it wouldn't be surprising. It's already quite impressive that Senior Brother Wang was able to escape from him."

"Yes, if we were to encounter him, we would probably lose consciousness in the blink of an eye."

"No matter what, how can Meng Qinghong bully the weak? Although our cultivation is inferior to his, we cannot let him bully us like this!"

Everyone thought they had guessed the truth and started talking amongst themselves.

But as they talked, they noticed that Senior Brother Wang's expression was getting increasingly grim, and they immediately realized that something was wrong.

Could it be that Senior Brother Wang was not defeated by Meng Qinghong, otherwise why is he so reluctant to talk about it?

But if it wasn't Meng Qinghong, then who could it be?

The group exchanged glances, about to ask further questions, when they heard a clear bell ringing from the staircase leading to the third floor. They immediately straightened up and looked towards the staircase.

Under everyone's gaze, Gu Chenyin slowly walked down the stairs, her eyes scanning the people in the hall before finally landing on Wang Yanshi.

Everyone bowed in greeting, and even Wang Yanshi quickly rose to do so.

"Brother Gu."

Gu Chenyin noticed his injuries, frowned slightly, but still walked unhurriedly to the window and sat down, squinting as she enjoyed the warmth of the sunlight. She sighed comfortably before asking:

"What happened?"

Wang Yanshi took a deep breath, lowered his head, and sighed, "I have lost."

His voice was low and dejected, carrying a sense of defeat, as if his spirit had been damaged.

Gu Chenyin was not surprised at all, her brows relaxed: "So what if we lost? We can seek revenge in the future. Why be so heartbroken?"

He had long anticipated that Wang Yanshi would lose, but he hadn't expected him to lose so badly.

His body bore the marks of lightning burns all over it, and even his internal organs were torn in several places.

Even worse is his primordial spirit; most of its power has been depleted. If things get any worse, his very foundation may be damaged.

Such a severe injury doesn't look like it was inflicted by Jiang Han; rather, it looks like it was caused by a sword strike from Meng Qinghong.

"That's what senior brother taught me."

Wang Yanshi readily admitted his mistake: "I should have listened to my senior brother's advice earlier. That Jiang Han is simply a freak, strong and unreasonable. It's not unjust that I lost to him."

He was planning to borrow money from Senior Brother Gu, and a large sum at that, so he had to be very proper in his attitude.

He must admit his mistakes and say nice things, otherwise his precious children will be beyond saving.
