It was said that the members of the Howling Sword Hall had been searching for Han Ye for several days, but to no avail. After all, paper could not hide fire. The news that Han Ye had been abducted by the King of Hell finally spread like wildfire and spread throughout the Howling Sword Hall. The child's mother was heartbroken, and Han Feng took care of her day and night. In addition, Han Yu and Situ Yunmeng, the two little girls, missed her endlessly and were depressed. However, there was still hope without seeing the corpse. Therefore, in addition to their sadness, everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation and longing.
That night, the wind was high and the clouds were thick. The moon was covered by layers of night clouds, making it seem particularly dim and hazy. The beautiful little girl Han Yu was strolling in the bamboo forest in the courtyard. After walking for a while, she leaned against the long bamboo and looked at the horizon in a daze. The deep blue night sky seemed to hide her brother's warm smile. When she thought of how her brother was no longer by her side, tears flowed down Han Yu's tender cheeks. This little girl was once afraid of losing him. When she really lost him, how would she face it?
The little girl walked quietly around the bamboo forest and walked to the side of the main hall. However, she heard two male voices. The little girl was familiar with the voice of her father, Han Feng. The other voice sounded familiar and strange to the little girl. She seemed to have heard that old voice somewhere before, but she could not make sense of it.
"Han Feng, you're really meticulous. You were actually able to find out my true identity."”
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it." You've absorbed so many people's soul essences, you'll be exposed sooner or later.”
When the little girl heard the conversation, she curiously sneaked around the wall of the main hall and poked her little head out to take a look. Under the dim moonlight, there were indeed two men talking. One was Han Feng, and the other was wearing black clothes, a black hat, and a veil. His figure was thin, and it was difficult to distinguish his appearance.
The black-robed man's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said coldly,"That's right, I did absorb the soul essences of many people to increase my power, and there were many disciples of the Howling Sword Hall among them. However, my Soul Absorption Technique has yet to reach its peak, and I was unable to absorb all seven souls.”
Han Feng thought of the tragic deaths of the disciples of the Howling Sword Hall and the rotting zombies on Green Mountain, and he couldn't help but feel indignant. He pulled out his Qingshuang Sword and pointed it at the man in black, scolding him sternly,""Demon, it really is you! I was only suspecting it at first, and it wasn't enough to prove it. Now that you've personally admitted it, I'll execute the souls of the ten or so disciples of my Howling Sword Hall on the spot!”
"Hahahaha!" The man in black raised his head and smiled. His crafty gaze shot towards Han Feng like an arrow. He smiled proudly and said,"Brat, compared to me, you're still a little inexperienced! Do you think I came here to see you and even said so much nonsense to you? I just don't want you to die in peace!"
Han Feng looked at the man in black in surprise, only to discover that his entire body was emitting a cold and murderous aura. He could not help but frown and say,"You? Could it be…"
"Hmph, since you're a dying man, I might as well tell you that I've already cultivated an evil technique. Forget about you, even if the entire Howling Sword Hall combined, what can they do to me?”After the man in black finished speaking, he extended his left hand toward Han Feng. A powerful invisible suction force actually forcefully sucked this seven-foot-tall man into his hand. The man in black pinched Han Feng's neck and smiled evilly."Hehe, Vice Hall Master Han, you know too much. Why don't you just leave in peace! In a while, your wife and daughter will come over to accompany you!”
Han Feng held the sword in his right hand and tried to pry the man's hand away with his left hand. He felt that the strength of his body was slowly being sucked away by this demon. He tried his best but could not get away. His neck was pinched by the man in black until it was red and he could not breathe. Suddenly, he heard that the man in black wanted to kill his wife and daughter."I can't die! If I die, Madam and Xiao Yu will…!”Thus, the man's eyes widened as he stabbed the Clear Frost Sword in his hand at the man in black's chest with all his might. However, something strange happened at this moment. The ice sword passed through the man in black's chest as if it had not touched anything. The man in black only continued to sneer, but his grip on Han Feng's hand tightened!
"I'm no longer human," the man in black said."How can these little tricks hurt me?"”
Just as the man in black was about to end Han Feng's life, a petite figure ran out from the wall of the main hall.
"Father!" Han Yu stared at Han Feng with her eyes wide open in fear. Her entire body was trembling, and her face was pale. She had originally wanted to save her father, but when she saw the terrifying appearance of the man in black, she became a little timid.
"Quick, let's go!" Han Feng stared at his daughter with cold sweat on his forehead and veins bulging on his forehead. His sad eyes were filled with lament, expectation, and sternness. However, he was strangled by the man in black and blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He could not speak smoothly. He only tried his best to say intermittently,"Don't. Mind. Me! Oh…Don't, Mind, Your Mother! Run, the further, the better!" This was the best solution Han Feng could think of. According to the current situation, he was definitely going to die. His wife was sick in bed and couldn't move. Now, even if he called for help, they wouldn't be able to come here for a while. The only way was to let his child run first, so Han Feng didn't want her to care about others.
"So much nonsense! Die!" The black-clothed man was getting impatient. He squeezed his right hand hard, and with a crack, Han Feng's neck was broken. Then, the black-clothed man took a deep breath through the veil. Seven wisps of green smoke came out of Han Feng's seven orifices and entered the black-clothed man's mouth. After absorbing the soul essence, the black-clothed man looked at Han Feng, who was already dead, and threw him to the side. Then, he looked at the little girl sinisterly and waved at her,"Little girl, come, come here." The moonlight that night was still dim and bleak, reflecting the thin shadow of the man in black. It was so terrifying and strange!
Han Yu did not care about the man in black at all. She looked at her dead father lying on the ground. Sadness, pain, and despair appeared on her delicate face. Father was dead. Father could no longer talk to her, teach her how to read, play with her, or…
"Father!" Han Yu had witnessed her own father die tragically, so how could she care about anything else? She ran straight to Han Feng's corpse beside the black-clothed man. Her tears fell like rain, reflecting the dark moon like crystals, falling on the road she stepped on. The little girl threw herself onto her father's slightly cold body and kept calling out to her father who loved her dearly, but her father could no longer speak. Under the dim moonlight, the girl was filled with grief and despair. Her petite body swayed in the strong summer wind that night, like a small flower that was on the verge of collapse in the wind and rain.
Obviously, the man in black did not have any compassion. He would not give up the idea of eliminating the roots just because of the little girl's pity. Therefore, when the little girl was still sad about her father's death, this ruthless demon quietly approached the girl.
The black-clothed man quietly walked behind Han Yu and stretched out his poisonous hand. Just as he was about to end her life, he heard a woman's voice that was 30% sorrowful and 70% resentful from the side room of the main hall."Stop! Cough cough! She's just a child!"
The man in black looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a plain nightgown with disheveled hair leaning against the door of the main bedroom beside the main hall. Her face was pale and haggard, as if she was seriously ill. The woman saw that her husband had fallen to the ground and died. She was in pain, but she suppressed the reluctance in her heart. She frowned and knelt down to beg the man in black,"Cough cough, please let our child go. If she wants to die, I'm willing to die for her.”
"Die? Hehe, that's good too. You go accompany your husband first, and then I'll send your daughter on her way to reunite with her family!”The man in black laughed with a cold and inhumane expression. His right hand grabbed at the woman in the air, and the weak woman was sucked into the man's hand. The man in black sneered and grabbed the woman's fair neck, lifting her into the air. He was about to end her life.
The woman's plain nightgown and long hair fluttered gently in the summer wind. Before she died, she looked at her dead husband and closed her faint, hateful eyes. She frowned helplessly and thought," Feng…I have no regrets being able to stay with you for so long, but…but our child…" The woman's heart ached when she thought of Han Ye, whose life and death were unknown, and Han Yu, who was probably about to lose her life. Two lines of tears that glistened with the pale moonlight slid down from the corners of her eyes.
"What's wrong?" "You miss your lover?" The man in black laughed fiercely. Then go see him immediately!" As he spoke, the man in black used his iron arm to strangle the woman's neck and twisted it with all his might. He sucked her soul essence and took her life!
Han Yu looked at her mother's body in the hands of the black-robed man, then at her father's body still lying on the ground. If this was just a nightmare, then why hadn't she woken up? First, her father had died, and then her mother had passed away with hatred. How sorrowful and devastating was this for an eleven-year-old girl?
With a plop, the man in black threw the woman's corpse together with Han Feng. Han Yu cried bitterly and grabbed her parents 'hands. Her petite body trembled in the wind. She bit her lower lip and looked at the man in black with hatred. Her soft eyebrows were locked, and her clear eyes were filled with hatred."You killed my parents. I will never let you off!”
"You won't let me off?" The man in black sneered and waved his hand at Han Yu. A gust of black wind blew over. The wind was extremely strong and only sent Han Yu flying, causing him to hit the wall of the main hall not far away and pass out.
"This way, the Han family only has that kid left.”The man in black said coldly and walked towards Han Yu. At this moment, the little girl's forehead had been injured, and red blood flowed down her eyebrows and the side of her face, but she looked so pitiful. However, the inhumane man in black would not give others any chance. He walked in front of Han Yu and stretched out his hand to take her life. At this time, he heard a pure voice from the sky,"Changtian, even if it's a child like this, you still won't let him go?”
The man in black called Chang Tian looked up and saw an old man in a plain gray robe in the sky under the dark moon. He had a long white beard and flowing white hair, and his body was emitting pure white thick Genuine Qi. He was standing on a dustless sword. The night wind blew, and the old man's white hair and long beard fluttered in the wind, reflecting the pale moonlight behind him. He looked like an immortal!
The black-robed man did not seem to like the grey-robed old man who was flying in the air. However, his fierce eyes widened as he mocked,"I say, Junior Brother Changfeng, I didn't expect you to miss me so much even though you're the Sect Master of Mount Shu!”
"Shut up!" Eternal Wind bellowed,""Changtian, back then, Master said that you had evil intentions and wanted to take your life. It was because of the friendship between the brothers and sisters that they begged him to save your life! However, you didn't repent and became even worse. Not only did you practice this kind of evil technique, but you also destroyed humanity and slaughtered people's families! How can you face the Shu Mountain Faction with your actions? How can we face the world?"
The man in black clenched his fist and said angrily,""Changfeng, you still have the cheek to mention it? Don't forget, I was expelled from Mount Shu! From the day you chased me away, I secretly swore that I would not cultivate! Don't do good deeds! One day, I will destroy your Shu Mountain Faction to avenge my exile!”As he spoke, Chang Tian waved his black robe and opened his hands. He was filled with jealousy and hatred, but he also seemed to have great aspirations!
Changfeng's upright face showed a trace of helplessness, but he shook his head and said,"Changtian, Master is right. You are beyond saving. Good and evil have their own ways, and the cycle of nature is endless.”Halfway through his speech, Chang Feng stroked his white beard and glanced at the Han Feng couple who had died tragically on the ground. Then, he looked at the unconscious little girl in front of the main hall. Finally, he locked his white eyebrows angrily and said,"If Qingxuan hadn't discovered your whereabouts in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find you here. You've harmed countless people.”
"Hehe, let me go?" Changtian laughed coldly. When have you ever let me go? Haven't you been investigating my whereabouts? However, I didn't expect Mount Shu's ability to obtain information to increase again. I was discovered by you even when I hid here.”
"Heaven's net has long arms. I didn't ask Master to kill you back then. Now, I'll get rid of you for the world!”As Chang Feng spoke, he raised his white eyebrows and quickly released all the fairy energy in his body. He put his right hand in front of his chest and made a sword gesture. His left hand pointed at the black-clothed man. The Wuchen Sword came out from under his feet and pierced through the sky. It turned into a white light mark in the night and attacked the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man knew his junior brother's habit of attacking, so he did not take the Wuchen Sword head-on. He just dodged to the side. At this time, Changfeng's figure flashed in the air and disappeared. The next moment, Changfeng's figure swayed like the water moon and held the flying Wuchen Sword in his hand. His gray robe fluttered against the dark moon, so elegant! Even though the man in black was prepared, Changfeng's attack was extremely fast. The grey-robed Taoist held the Wuchen Sword and drew a sword shadow at the man in black. Countless sharp sword Qi flew out like raindrops and attacked the man in black. The man in black was not flustered. He turned his palms into black gas to block the sword Qi.
Chang Feng's right hand used the Wuchen Sword to release Sword Qi, but his left hand was not idle. He took out ten white talismans with the cross of the Heavenly Stems from his sleeve and held them in his hand."Soldiers and fighters, form up and advance!”After reciting, he placed the Ten Heavenly Talismans in his palm and drew a circle in front of him with one hand. The ten white talismans arranged themselves into a circle according to the circle. The circle spun in the air and a white light that looked like a water mirror gradually appeared in the middle. This was a rather profound Taoist technique in the Taoist Talisman Technique, called the Xuan Heaven Mirror!
"Mysterious Heavenly Mirror?" The man in black cried out in his heart and was about to run away, but Chang Feng had already put down the Wuchen Sword. He held the glowing talisman ring with his left hand and shone it at the man in black. The ten Taoist talismans spun quickly, and the flowing white light in the middle suddenly lit up. With a bang, a huge white light pillar shot out from the Mysterious Heavenly Mirror. Spiritual Qi overflowed, and Chang Feng's gray robe and white hair were blown behind by the strong wind brought by the Spiritual Qi. The black-robed man didn't have time to dodge and was struck by the light. His body was immediately blasted into the ground by the powerful spiritual light, and a pit more than ten feet deep was shaken by the thick spiritual light.
After Chang Feng finished his move, he waved his left sleeve at the Xuan Tian Mirror in front of him. The Xuan Tian Mirror stopped glowing and rotating, and the ten white talismans flew back into his sleeve. He looked in front of him and suddenly frowned. He felt that there was something wrong with the ground, so he stabbed the Wuchen Sword into the ground. The sword wind and spiritual qi poured into the ground, but he heard a strange sound thirty feet in front of him. A black figure broke out of the ground with countless sword winds."Damn it, I didn't expect that I couldn't escape even after doing this!”In fact, the black-clothed man had no intention of fighting with Changfeng from the beginning because he knew that he had not yet mastered the Soul Absorption Technique. How could he be a match for Changfeng who had cultivated the Eon Sea Realm? However, Changfeng, this old Taoist, was really powerful. He did not give the black-clothed man a chance to escape. When the black-clothed man was distressed, he saw Han Yu lying unconscious in front of the main hall. He immediately had another plan in his heart and ran over there.
"Wake up!" Chang Feng said sternly. He threw the Wuchen Sword forward and jumped onto it. He rode on the Wuchen Sword and chased after the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man saw that Changfeng was about to catch up with him, but he did not panic. His cunning eyes flashed, and he threw his hand at the unconscious Han Yu not far away. A black Qi wave was emitted from his palm. The Qi wave was like a ferocious human head roaring in pain, and its tail dragged a long black shadow in the air. At a glance, the entire black Qi wave was a human-faced black snake dancing in the air!
When the black gas wave hit Han Yu, Chang Feng could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He knew that the black gas wave contained the soul of a mortal. If it hit the child, even a great immortal would find it difficult to save him! Therefore, he didn't chase after Zhang Tian. Instead, he took out a yellow talisman from his gray sleeve and threw it at the black Qi wave. When the yellow talisman flew out, he pointed at the black Qi wave and said,""Retract!" As Chang Feng pointed angrily, golden light bloomed on the yellow talisman, and spiritual energy surged. Then, the black gas wave was absorbed by the yellow talisman. The black gas on the talisman was completely absorbed into the yellow talisman, leaving only a few wisps of soul smoke that fled to the horizon. The yellow talisman, which had already turned black, floated to the ground.
After saving Han Yu's life, Changfeng went to look at the sky again, only to see that he had already escaped without a trace. Originally, Changfeng had come down the mountain to get rid of Changtian, the Demonic Priest. Unfortunately, he had escaped again this time. He did not know when he would be found again. Mount Shu was still waiting for him to return to take charge of the situation, so he could not stay any longer. He only looked at the dead Han Feng couple with sympathy and sighed that although he was an immortal, he could not save them. He shook his head and waved his sleeves, ready to leave on his sword. Just as he turned around, However, his eyes caught a glimpse of the unconscious little girl.
Changfeng pitifully thought, If I leave, what will happen to this child? If he left her here, with Changtian's character, he would come back sooner or later to silence her. There were very few experts in the Howling Sword Hall, so it was not a good place to stay.”Changfeng thought about it and flew to the front of the main hall on his sword. He landed beside the little girl and looked at her with a kind gaze. His old hand touched the top of her head and blew a white spiritual wind to her forehead, healing the wound on her forehead."Child, your misfortune and the death of your parents are also my fault. Forget it, since you and I are fated, follow me up the mountain.”
With this thought in mind, Changfeng picked up Han Yu, stepped on the Wuchen sword, and flew into the night sky. In the hazy galaxy, under the lonely and dark moon shadow, the figure of the gray-robed old man seemed to have experienced some vicissitudes of life. His white hair fluttered in the wind, and the little girl was in the old man's arms. Her green hair gently fluttered, appearing so delicate. An old and a young figure flew across the dark night sky, leaving only a faint white sword shadow on the horizon.
Although the East Court was not close to the other residences, such a big commotion would still wake up some disciples. After Changfeng left, people gradually went in to check on Vice Hall Master Han. What happened after that was needless to say.
At this moment, Situ Yunmeng was in the north courtyard. She had no idea about the tragedy in the east courtyard. She was only having a strange dream in bed. In her dream, she was surrounded by white mist. Yun Meng walked forward, and the mist parted in front of her and then closed behind her. After a long time, two figures appeared in the mist, one blue and one green. The further she walked forward, the clearer they became. When she got closer, she realized that they were a pair of siblings.
" Brother Han Ye…Xiao Yu…" Yun Meng placed her right sleeve in front of her chest and extended her left hand toward them. She raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were filled with reliance and anticipation.
Han Ye and Han Yu didn't say anything. The pair of siblings just stared at Yun Meng quietly. Their quiet and delicate faces seemed to have something to say, but they couldn't open their mouths.
"You guys…why aren't you guys saying anything?”Yun Meng approached them carefully and slowly. She grabbed her clothes with her right hand, her face gentle and confused.
However, the siblings still did not speak. Other than quietly staring at the little beauty, they did not do anything. Suddenly, in the white fog, a breeze blew for no reason, and a rain of flowers fell out of thin air. In the colorful petals, the Han siblings 'figures gradually disappeared.
The departure of the two made Yun Meng, who had been anticipating, pale. Her right hand was still in front of her chest, and her left sleeve was waving gently. She chased after the hazy figure with a frown and said gently,""Please don't go. If you leave, I'll be alone again!”
It was as if the Han siblings couldn't hear Yun Meng's words. Their figures disappeared into the fog. Yun Meng widened her eyes and opened her sleeves, wanting to hug them and hold them back. However, she couldn't touch anything when she stretched out her hand. It turned out that they had all disappeared into the dream…
"Don't go!" Yun Meng sat up in shock as she said this. She clutched the thin blanket tightly and recalled the dream she had just had. She looked sad and sad, and tears were rolling in her eyes. Her beautiful face was filled with endless sadness.
The little girl gently pushed aside the blanket and tidied her soft hair that was already draped over her shoulders. She placed her lotus feet on the slightly cool ground. She did not know when, but she had gradually liked the feeling of coolness coming from the soles of her feet. The little girl quietly walked to the window and pushed it open. It was still a midsummer night. The wind was a little urgent, and the little girl's silky long hair was stirred up anxiously. The little girl did not panic. She used her fair and delicate hand to brush the hair beside her ear, and saw that there was another person in the dim flowers in the courtyard. That person had a hunched back and was dressed in a servant's uniform. He only called out to her,"Miss."
"Hmm?" Yun Meng opened her gentle eyes and asked,""Uncle Chang, what's the matter?"
Old Chang's expression was solemn as he said,""Um, something big happened in the East Court. Vice Hall Master Han and his family died tragically. Hall Master didn't want to tell you right away, but I have to inform you about the funeral tomorrow.”

Note:
(1)"Sword Technique"-Generally speaking, the index finger and middle finger are placed side by side, forming the shape of a sword finger. In the field of martial arts, sword scripture refers to the combination of sword techniques. Sword scripture and treasured sword can achieve beautiful and agile effects when dancing with the sword. However, the sword scripture in this article is mostly used when performing techniques.
(2)"Heavenly stem"-namely A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui.
(3)"Those who fight in the face of the army will march forward in formation"-a nine-character mantra from Ge Hong's "Baopuzi Neipian, Dengshe." "When you enter the mountain, you should know the secret prayers of the Six Arks."Those who fight in front of the army should form an array and move forward. They should always pray secretly and avoid everything."”It meant that if one chanted these nine words often, they could get rid of all evil. Dongmi (ninja) was influenced by our country's Taoism (using the protection spell), but when copying these nine words, he mistakenly copied 'array forward' as 'array (crack) forward', and it is still used today. With the reference of Japanese anime, it is more familiar to the people.
