CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 42: NOT GUILTY EVEN IF THE SKY FALLS

Lily’s expression was panicked, her tone rushed, and she came in with a whirlwind of urgency.

But, this is the wrong place!

Han Yu scratched his head, thinking that she should be saying this to the Bai siblings instead of him!

Why is she coming to me?

"Something happened... Bai Jingliang and Sister Junya are in trouble."

Lily took a deep breath before she could finish her words.

Han Yu looked at her strangely and said, "They’re in trouble, and you come to me? That’s useless!"

Lily, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears, said, "I only know them two here, and... and I only know you apart from them. I don’t know who else to tell."

With no other choice, Han Yu invited her in, poured a cup of cold water, and handed it to her, then sighed and said, "Go on, what happened to them?"

Clutching the cup tightly, Lily took a sip of water and slowly began to recount what happened...

A quarter of an hour later!

Han Yu had a splitting headache; this was not what he imagined!

Wasn’t Bai Junya supposed to showcase her extraordinary talent, slap the faces of all the clan elders, and forcefully rise as the new star of the Bai Family!

How come she just becomes more valuable after awakening her Water Series Divine Techniques?

What are the people in the Bai Family thinking?

"Bai Jingliang tried to take Sister Junya out, but he was captured by the clan elders on the spot, and Sister Junya is also locked in a room. I... I don’t know who to ask for help."

"But coming to me is useless too!"

Han Yu sighed. That’s their family matter, not something outsiders can criticize or intervene in.

Lily hung her head, gripping the cup firmly, and murmured, "I wanted to help Sister Junya escape, but I found I couldn’t fight her family members."

Han Yu was startled by her words, dumbfounded, and glanced at her, saying, "Your sect leader could only let her return obediently. Where do you get the confidence to think you could escape with Bai Junya?"

That stung, and Lily, who was almost in tears, burst out crying. This left Han Yu flustered, hastily trying to comfort her.

"Please don’t cry! People might think I’m bullying you."

Lily seemed not to hear him, continuing to cry with her shoulders shaking, causing Han Yu a tremendous headache.

"But if no one helps them, Bai Jingliang will be locked up, and Sister Junya will be sold off by their family."

Lily cried in sorrow.

"That’s seriously a family issue that you can’t interfere with."

Han Yu sighed helplessly.

Why is this little girl so stubborn!

Suddenly filled with hope, Lily looked up, her tear-stained face looking at Han Yu, "Can you help me rescue them? You’re so strong at fighting?"

Darn!

You think so highly of me, I was planning to run away, and now you want me to break into the Bai family to save them?

"You overestimate me."

Han Yu directly refused. The little girl was still sobbing as she watched him, "I overheard them outside talking that because Sister Junya has Innate Divine Techniques, the Qin Family is even more satisfied, and you made Sister Junya more valuable. Don’t you feel guilty?"

This is entrapment!

This little girl is just trying to find a way to make me help.

Han Yu shook his head firmly, "Even without me, she would still be forced by her family to marry out."

"Don’t you feel guilty?"

The little girl continued to ask.

Han Yu resolutely nodded and said, "Even if the sky fell, I wouldn’t feel guilty!"

As soon as his words fell, there was a loud cracking sound. Han Yu looked up in horror, as cracks suddenly spread across the beam, and the bricks above trembled violently.

In an instant, his expression changed, and the entire ceiling abruptly collapsed.

Outside the inn, a group of cultivators surrounded the place. Third Qin stared coldly at the collapsed second floor, sneering.

The tenants downstairs had all run out upon hearing the noise, leaving the entire top floor of the second story collapsed and exposed under the sky, with smoke and dust covering the entire floor.

When the dust settled, a humanoid figure suddenly swayed amid the rubble. Han Yu shook off the debris and dust from his body, hunched, but underneath him, Lily, having been protected in time, was unharmed except for a pale face.

Releasing Lily, Han Yu turned to stare at the cultivators below, locking eyes with someone in a black luxurious robe.

Third Qin’s eyes were astonished, having thought the juniors in the clan exaggerated. It was unexpected that this person was actually physically formidable, having hoped collapsing the rooftop would cause him some harm, only to find him completely unscathed.

Moreover, his cultivation wasn’t discernible. For a Half Divine Gaze cultivator like him to be unable to see another person’s cultivation: either this person’s cultivation was beyond his or had none at all.

How could this be possible?

"Go up and kill him."

Third Qin waved his hand, and the cultivators behind swiftly drew their blades and swords, each leaping into the air.

In an instant, the blades and swords buzzed threateningly, forming a large net of over thirty blade and sword energies rushing toward Han Yu.

Hurriedly, Han Yu tossed Lily aside and opened his hands, a Fire Lotus instantly manifesting. A blazing fire enveloped him, erupting fiercely.

The massive firewave surged out in all directions, instantly obliterating the net formed by the blades and swords.

"Come down!"

Han Yu roared furiously, the firewave surging even more violently toward the over thirty cultivators in the air.

"Retreat quickly."

One of the cultivators shouted urgently before descending from the sky.

A few cultivators who were a step slower were immediately unlucky. Flames lashed directly onto them, instantly setting their clothes ablaze, and they dropped like dumplings.

Upon hitting the ground, the fire did not extinguish, and rolling around was futile.

Han Yu was also surprised, not expecting that the Origin he had absorbed last time had also brought the Divine Technique traits of that Divine Gaze Realm expert.

At that time, the flames of that Black Robe had one characteristic: they were hard to extinguish, and the fire spread extremely fast.

Third Qin was also shocked, exclaiming incredulously, "A pure flesh Divine Power Cultivator? Where did this freak come from!"

Immediately dispelling his disdain, he quickly called out to the remaining twenty or so cultivators, "Form a formation, Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies Combined Attack!"

They couldn’t be allowed to combine attacks. Last time, just a dozen cultivators with poor cultivation could manage a combined attack of such power. Now with a group at the Other Shore Realm, who knew how powerful it would be.

Immediately, about twenty cultivators quickly gathered. After Han Yu retracted his Fire Series Divine Techniques, he steeled his resolve.

Looking around, there were no onlookers left, only Lily standing in the distance with a frightened face.

"Hungry Ghost Path!"

Han Yu waved his hand, and a massive Hungry Ghost Image appeared behind him.

"Kill!"

Almost simultaneously, hordes of Hungry Ghosts surged outward like a tide.

On the other side, the combined attack of over twenty cultivators erupted like a thunderbolt, instantly enveloping the entire area in a massive tornado.

The inn, already half-demolished, was instantly blown apart by the immense wind power, truly terrifying! The leading Hungry Ghosts were each swept into the wind zone, torn apart, and crushed.

Third Qin had no time to be pleased as another wave of Hungry Ghosts surged like a tide, even more numerous, each brandishing Bone Blades, fearlessly rushing continuously into the wind zone, wave after wave.

In the blink of an eye, the Hungry Ghosts filled the entire wind zone, and countless white bones soared in the air, looking incredibly eerie.

"Third Elder, we can’t hold on much longer."

The cultivators’ faces turned pale. Maintaining a Combined Attack required a constant stream of True Essence, and now that all these Hungry Ghosts had jumped in, it immediately increased the burden on the cultivators.

At this moment, far from blowing the wind away, it was even hard to stir it.

"We can’t hold on!"

One cultivator, pale-faced, dropped his sword and sat on the ground. One by one, the cultivators were exhausted.

The tornado abruptly halted, and the bones clattered down, smashing towards the cultivators. This was terrifying. Earlier countless Hungry Ghosts were blown into the sky, now they were all crashing down on them.

"Ah..."

A cultivator was the first to be entangled by the Hungry Ghosts. Just as he was about to unleash his Other Shore Realm cultivation, he was directly overwhelmed by the white bones.

"Ascend quickly."

"We can’t! They’re still crashing down from the sky."

"Elder, save us!"

"A bunch of useless fools!"

Third Qin gritted his teeth in rage but could not ignore them. They were all the living strength of the Qin Family. He summoned a sword and a blade out of thin air, single-handedly executing the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies Attack.

"Heaven and Earth Reversed!"

With a shout, the bluestone slabs on the ground shattered inch by inch, taking both disciples and Hungry Ghosts skyward.

"Not leaving yet?"

Third Qin shouted angrily, and the group of cultivators came to their senses. As Third Qin relaxed control, they quickly fled.

"Han Yu, your energy is nearly depleted!"

The Little Artifact Spirit suddenly warned.

Han Yu frowned, always failing at crucial moments.

Elsewhere, more Hungry Ghosts were being hurled skyward with the debris. As Third Qin’s Blade and Sword clashed, a massive wave surged upwards.

A gigantic explosion ignited countless bones in the air. The powerful impact also forced Han Yu to retreat a few steps, just as the Hungry Ghost Image dispersed.

"This child must not be left alive!"

After dealing with the Hungry Ghosts, Third Qin’s gaze turned sinister and merciless.

A formidable physique, yet possessing dual divine techniques. Both techniques reaped low-tier cultivators like cutting grass. If such a freak were allowed to grow, no Noble Family could withstand him. Unfortunately, the Qin Family held a grudge against him.

He must not be left alive!

"Can you discern his realm?"

Han Yu knew that the Little Artifact Spirit could sense the opponent’s abilities. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to detect Bai Junya’s hidden Innate Divine Techniques.

"Half-Step Divine Gaze!"

The Little Artifact Spirit quickly replied.

"And he wants you dead."

The Little Artifact Spirit’s warning was unnecessary. Just looking at Third Qin’s eyes, which were bulging like brass bells, made it clear he wasn’t here for a chat.

"You all retreat first!"

Third Qin waved at the battered group of cultivators behind him, "There’s no need for you here."

He was worried that Han Yu would unleash another Divine Technique. Earlier, due to his complacency, he allowed the cultivators to prematurely combine their attack, wasting a large amount of True Essence. Losing seven or eight cultivators now, he still felt heartache.

If Han Yu were to completely wipe out these disciples now, Qin Tiannan wouldn’t forgive him easily.

After speaking, he continuously swung his sword and blade.

"Canglang Technique!"

The massive Blade and Sword Qi transformed into waves, surging like a turbulent tide...
