Chapter 428 Only Foolish People Die

"Old Ghost Tao, your tone is quite arrogant. Today, your Ziyun Sect cannot protect anyone!"

Just as the purple-robed elder finished speaking, a clear and ethereal voice echoed from afar, instantly reverberating through the sky and lingering for a long time.

The expressions of the three purple-robed elders present changed abruptly.

When they came to their senses, they discovered that a handsome youth dressed in green robes had already appeared before them.

The youth's eyes were deep and distant, like the vast heavens, devoid of any emotion, and a mysterious, ancient Aura naturally radiated from his body, causing people to feel awe involuntarily.

"Ji Hanshi..."

The expressions of Old Ghost Tao and the others were somewhat ugly.

They had not expected the youth to arrive so quickly. Could it be that he had been staying within the territory of Wuyun Ridge all this time? Who could have conveyed the news to him so quickly?

Ji Hanshi was a top True Disciple of the Biluo Sect, and his strength and cultivation were unfathomable. The Five Friends of Yunling were exactly whom he had planted in Wuyun Ridge, specifically to annoy the three major forces.

He had always been regarded by them as a major threat.

"Hehe."

At this moment, the hemp-clothed elder who had arrived not long ago and hadn't had a chance to speak smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, this person is the murderer who killed the Five Friends of Yunling. However, my Zhao family discovered that he has been impersonating Kang Zhe, a True Disciple of the Cold Ice Holy Sect, and is suspected of being the murderer who killed Kang Zhe. Since my family's Seventh Young Master has some friendship with the Cold Ice Holy Sect, we intend to capture him and hand him over to the Cold Ice Holy Sect. We ask Fellow Daoist Ji to make things convenient for us!"

The hemp-clothed elder was a Guest Elder of the Zhao family, and this time he was acting on the orders of the Zhao family's Seventh Young Master, Zhao Junfeng, to capture Yan Chu.

Although Yan Chu had killed the Five Friends of Yunling, in the eyes of those present, the Five Friends of Yunling were merely small fry that could be extinguished with a wave of the hand, and Yan Chu was naturally the same.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hanshi slowly turned around and said coldly with an expressionless Face:

"What is your Zhao family? And what kind of bullshit is this Seventh Young Master? Does he have the qualifications to ask me to make things convenient?"

"While I haven't lost my temper yet, get out of here!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

The volume of this voice was not loud, but to the ears of the hemp-clothed elder, it sounded like a booming bell, a thunderous crash, causing his eardrums to buzz and his mind to go blank for a moment.

The sound only dissipated after a long time.

The hemp-clothed elder's eyes revealed shock.

Previously, he had only heard about how powerful Ji Hanshi was, but he had never experienced it personally; only now did he realize that the rumors were true.

However, as a Guest Elder of the Zhao family, he represented the Face of the Zhao family, so naturally, he could not let it pass so easily, and thus he gritted his teeth and said:

"Fine, I will report this matter truthfully to the Seventh Young Master and ask him to make the final decision!"

After speaking, he no longer lingered and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Yan Chu suddenly called out to stop him.

The hemp-clothed elder turned around and asked expressionlessly:

"Do you have something to say?"

In his eyes, Yan Chu was already a dead man.

With Ji Hanshi here, since Yan Chu had killed the Five Friends of Yunling, there was absolutely no path to survival for him.

Yan Chu shook his head and said unhurriedly:

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask, where is your Seventh Young Master?"

The hemp-clothed elder was stunned, followed by a cold sneer:

"Why are you asking this? Could it be that you want the Seventh Young Master to plead for mercy and spare your life? You should worry about surviving today first."

"No!"

Yan Chu shook his head and said seriously:

"I just want to know where he is so that I can go and kill him later. Otherwise, I can't just look for a needle in a haystack and run around like a headless fly, right?"

Upon hearing this, the hemp-clothed elder was almost laughed to anger:

"Good, good, good! You have guts! You are worthy of being the one who killed the Five Friends of Yunling."

"Then this old man will tell you: the Seventh Young Master is at the Pan family residence. I hope you don't go back on your word; we will be waiting for you at the Pan family residence!"

After speaking, he rode his escape light and vanished into the distance in an instant.

The remaining Ziyun Sect elder surnamed Tao and the middle-aged man from the Tianxing Sect, Wen Tingtao, exchanged a glance, their eyes meeting.

How could this exchange of glances escape Ji Hanshi's eyes?

They only heard his flat, threatening voice:

"In all of Wuyun Ridge, who doesn't know that Masked Minister is my lackey? What qualifications do you have to stand here? While I haven't lost my temper yet, get out!"

Old Ghost Tao's Face showed anger, and his hand inside his sleeve tightened, but in the end, he slowly relaxed it.

They were both at the stage of initially comprehending the Law.

In the cultivation world, this level is known as a Half-Saint, meaning they are not yet Sages who have fully comprehended the Law, but they are much stronger than those in the Divine Ability Realm.

However, Ji Hanshi's talent and Aptitude far exceeded theirs; he was only a few hundred years old now, and his future Breakthrough to Sage was almost a certainty.

Unless absolutely necessary, they naturally did not want to come into conflict with him.

After a while, Old Ghost Tao squeezed out a smile and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, since you have said so, then we will leave this person to you."

As his voice fell, his figure faded and blurred, turning into wisps of clouds that drifted into the distance.

Wen Tingtao of the Tianxing Sect took a deep look at Yan Chu and Ji Hanshi, and finally flicked his horsetail whisk, let out a cold snort, and left the place.

Before coming here, they knew that the Biluo Sect would definitely avenge the Five Friends of Yunling, but they just hadn't expected him to arrive so quickly.

Thinking about it this way, there must have been an insider from the Biluo Sect in the City Lord's Mansion at that time.

After returning, they would have to investigate carefully to find this person.

Yunqi City was the territory of the three major forces and could not be allowed to be tainted by the Biluo Sect.

"Alright! The irrelevant people have all left! Speak!"

After the three had all disappeared, Ji Hanshi spoke indifferently with his hands behind his back, his gaze looking down from above, as if looking at an ant.

"Say what?"

"Tell me your origin, true identity, and your purpose for coming to the Fusheng Domain. I advise you to confess honestly, and you might still have a dignified way to die. Otherwise, I will let you know what it means to beg for death but be unable to!"

"Hehe."

Yan Chu shook his head and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Ji Hanshi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm laughing at... why does everyone always think they can kill me?"

Yan Chu shook his head with a smile:

"Do you know? Good people won't die, bad people won't die either; only foolish people die!"

"And you are that foolish person!"

"Oh?"

Ji Hanshi finally understood the feeling the hemp-clothed elder had just experienced of being laughed to anger:

"You want to kill me? Do you know the price of arrogance?"

As he spoke, a flash of green light flickered in his hand, and a miniature incense burner appeared in his palm.

"My Qingxiao Soul Refining Furnace has already refined exactly one hundred and seven souls from the Divine Ability Realm, and it is just one short. After I refine you, the Soul-Extinguishing Divine Smoke inside will surely reach Major Achievement, and in the future, it will accompany me to become a Saint Weapon."

"What do you think of this idea of mine?"

A smile curled the corners of Yan Chu's mouth, with a hint of mockery:

"We can make a bet, just for one copper coin. I bet there is no smoke in your furnace, how about it?"

Ji Hanshi's brows furrowed tightly.

He wasn't frowning at Yan Chu's arrogance, but rather at the fact that he was at death's door, yet he kept saying all these strange things, which was simply baffling.

But this not only failed to dispel Ji Hanshi's killing intent, but instead increased his desire to kill.

"Is that so?"

"Since you say so, I will let you see with your own eyes your entire body's bones, muscles, and flesh dissolved into blood, and you will see your own brains!"

Somehow, Ji Hanshi also blurted out some strange, baffling words that he would never have said before.
