73: Han Feng’s counterattack is sure to win!
Su Lianxue truly did not wish to see Han Feng die, but if there was truly no other way, she wouldn't beg Jun Lingxiao on her knees. The current Han Feng was not worth that much to her.
Han Feng had long been out of her heart. If it weren't for their childhood sweetheart relationship, she wouldn't even care about him.
Su Lianxue's attitude was clear: Han Feng's death had nothing to do with her.
But this was not Jun Lingxiao's purpose for coming. He proposed a trade to Su Lianxue.
It would allow her to obtain what she had always dreamed of, but at the same time... she would pay a hefty price.

"Kid, I told you not to go looking for that girl. You're still young and don't understand."
"Although this girl is beautiful, you'll meet many more in the future. As long as you have power, women, wealth, and authority will all fall into your hands!"
"Only by living can you become strong. Only by living can you have everything."
As someone who had died once, no one understood the preciousness of life more than he did. He kept brainwashing Han Feng along the way, wanting him to leave quickly and go far away.
However, as he walked, he felt something was wrong.
"Kid, you've taken the wrong path, haven't you? The way out of the Central Continent is that way!"
Han Feng ignored him, simply walking all the way into Guan Nan City, his mind replaying Su Lianxue's words.
"Senior, I need to go into the city first to see my Family."
From the look on his face, it was clear something had happened to his Family; he couldn't just leave.
More than a decade had passed since his Transmigration to this world, and he had long regarded his parents in this world as his true Family. His previous struggle for the treasure had implicated the Han Family, causing them to be targeted. He could suffer misfortune himself, but he absolutely could not implicate his Family again.
Otherwise, he might truly feel guilty for a lifetime.
"Alas, so be it. Have your way."
'He is loyal and righteous, a good seed indeed. As long as he survives, his future achievements will not be low. Perhaps there will even be a day when he can return to the Upper Realm and restore the Fang Family.'
One person and one soul thought this way, entering Guan Nan City under the cover of night.
After entering the city, Han Feng ran straight towards the Han Family, but when he arrived at the Han Family, he was utterly shocked by the scene before him.
The Han Family's main gate was wide open, the interior was empty, without a single lamp, and the entire Family was filled with Death Qi.
The most terrifying thing was that all the items inside were still there, but all the people were gone.
"Father...!!!"
Han Feng froze, then shouted loudly as he ran towards his parents' room, but as expected, it was still empty, without a single soul.
"No, no, no, how is this possible? How is this possible...? My Han Family is one of the four great families. Although we were previously jointly boycotted by other families, there are over seven hundred people in the entire Family. How could they all disappear...?"
"Moreover, my father, the Han Family's Patriarch, is also a top expert. How could he disappear without any traces of a struggle...?"
"..."
Han Feng screamed in despair, while Fang Shi, who was inside his body, had already guessed something, but deliberately kept silent for fear that Han Feng would do something foolish.
Afterward, Han Feng pushed open every door in the house, finally running out of the Han Family and arriving at the street controlled by his Han Family.
Most of the properties here were various industries controlled by the Han Family, with shops and inns of all kinds, but at this moment... they were also filled with Death Qi.
The doors opened with a mere push, and there was no one inside.
Just then, an old man carrying a wooden basin walked out of one of the few lit shops. He turned to look at Han Feng, and the wooden basin in his hand clanged to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Han Feng? You weren't captured?"
Han Feng watched as the old man's originally dim eyes suddenly brightened. Although this person was not from the Han Family, his shop was within the Han Family's sphere of influence, and he had an excellent relationship with Han Feng. He quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Old man! What happened? Where are my parents? Where is everyone from the Han Family? How come there's no one in the Han Family or the shops when I returned?"
"The Han Family..."
The old man sighed softly and said to Han Feng with earnest words: "The Han Family has disappeared. Earlier today, people from Guan Xue Holy Land came to arrest people. I saw several black-armored experts from afar. They arrested anyone from the Han Family they saw. Your father tried to resist, but he was suppressed with a wave of a hand by one of the black-armored experts."
"Han Feng, it's good that you weren't captured. Go, go as far away as possible. You can't afford to provoke these people."
The old man spoke softly, but to Han Feng, it was like a bolt from the blue, making him almost buckle at the knees.
"People from Guan Xue Holy Land? Old man, you didn't see wrong?" Han Feng asked incredulously.
Impossible, he thought. Ever since he had joined Guan Xue Holy Land, his Family and the Holy Land had been in close contact. Although their relationship wasn't as good after he became a cripple, it wasn't to the point of arresting people, was it?
"Yes, I couldn't be mistaken. They were wearing the clothes of Guan Xue Holy Land," the old man said, then advised Han Feng a few more times.
He said that those who came to arrest people were truly powerful. After the Han Family was emptied, although the gates were wide open, no one dared to steal anything from the Han Family, fearing implication.
Otherwise, the Han Family would have been emptied long ago.
"Guan Xue Holy Land..."
"It's him!"
After bidding farewell to the old man, Han Feng gritted his teeth, now knowing exactly who was behind this. All these changes were because of that person named Jun! Everything changed after he appeared!
"Now, looking back, I realize that ever since Su Lianxue returned, she seemed distracted. It's clear they had something going on even then!"
"Stealing Su Lianxue, killing Fatty, that wasn't enough! He even kidnapped my Family!!!"
Han Feng was furious at this moment, but he also understood that his own strength was far from enough.
However, he had one ultimate trump card!!
"Senior!! You must help me!!"
Han Feng said through gritted teeth.
"..."
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Han Feng immediately knelt down and called out again.
"Senior!"
"..."
Still no response.
"Senior! Anyway, my life is worthless. If I die, I die, but if I die, you won't live either. You must help me, or we both die!" Han Feng actually didn't want to break ties, but his Family was in the other party's hands, so he had no choice but to go.
"...Kid, are you threatening me?"
Fang Shi finally spoke, his tone filled with unspoken authority.
"Senior! I beg you! My Family cannot be harmed! I only ask you to help me this once. In the future, if Senior says east, I will never go west!"
Han Feng knelt on the ground and kowtowed, making a grand declaration. His meaning was clear: if you don't help me, I'll go anyway, and at worst, we'll die together.
After a long silence, Fang Shi finally couldn't resist the young man.
"Alas, kid, you've really put me in a tough spot."
"You should know, he is from the Jun Family. Even if he is just a young master from a branch of the Jun Family in the Middle Thousand Worlds, he has many guards around him, and if he dies, the Jun Family will know immediately."
"For the next ten, hundred, or thousand years, you will be endlessly hunted. This is the Jun Family; if you touch one of them, they will kill your entire Family. They are that unreasonable."
"Even if you save them now, what will you do in the future? Can you protect them for a lifetime?"
Fang Shi voiced his concerns.
Indeed, although he feared Jun Lingxiao, what he truly feared was not him personally, but the Jun Family behind him. After all, what could a young Prodigy, no matter how Heaven-Defying, do against an old monster like him who had lived for ten thousand years? The main issue was the Jun Family behind him.
Once his identity as a member of the Fang Family was exposed, he would undoubtedly face endless pursuit.
Moreover, even if they were saved, they couldn't be protected. It would be better not to save them, to avoid further trouble, and to have a smoother path of Cultivation.
Han Feng knew that Senior was not lying to him, but he had no choice.
"Senior! Please help me! Let's save them first, then talk. In the future... in the future, at worst, I'll let my clansmen find a secluded corner to live!"
"...Alright, kid, I'll help you this once. After this, I'll have to fall into a deep slumber again. From now on, it's up to you."
Hearing that Senior finally agreed, Han Feng was overjoyed. Then, fearing an accident, he tentatively asked: "Then, Senior, how much strength can you exert now?"
"How much?"
Fang Shi scoffed. Only after begging for help did he start asking about his strength. He was being underestimated.
The moment he agreed meant he had absolute confidence!
"In my lifetime, I was a Quasi-Emperor, with the Dao Lineage embodied, one of those who touched the Law. Now... I can barely recover thirty percent of my strength, but that's still the strength of the Venerable Realm."
"That kid has many guards around him, and each of them is mysterious. Killing him will be difficult, but saving people will certainly be easy."
"However, it's best to kill him. Otherwise, if the news of my appearance spreads, that would be a major problem."
"Venerable Realm..."
Han Feng paused slightly upon hearing this, then smiled, reassured.
His father had said that the Venerable Realm was the strongest in this world. He thought that taking down the person named Jun would not be a problem.
At that time, he would ask Senior to take Su Lianxue away as well, and explain the misunderstanding... Han Feng thought, already imagining what a beautiful scene that would be.
