Fate-Defying Demon Emperor
Chapter 527: Seven Stars Sect, I’m Back
Su Han was very familiar with Qingzhou, but he did not expose his whereabouts. Using his Thousand Changes and Transformations ability, he disguised himself as various people along the way, arriving quietly in Qian Yuan City.
The war between the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and the Demon Slayer Sect had a certain impact on the Pavilion’s Qian Yuan City branch. However, the effect wasn’t significant. Qingzhou was a remote region, and Saint You Heng had long since eradicated all Demon Slayer Sect strongholds within it.
Instead of heading directly to the Seven Stars Sect, Su Han first stayed in Qian Yuan City for a day.
In a quiet room, Su Han met Sun Buzhou again.
"Pavilion Master Sun, it’s been a long time!"
He and Sun Buzhou were old acquaintances. Although they had initially met because of Tongyan, Sun Buzhou had always thought highly of Su Han and taken extra care of him. In fact, it was Sun Buzhou who had introduced him to Saint You Heng.
"Su Han, when did you get back? If it weren’t for your Divine Sense transmission, I would hardly believe it!" Sun Buzhou’s face was filled with pleasant surprise, and his eyes shone with excitement as he looked at Su Han.
He had held Su Han in high regard from the start, but he never expected the young man’s innate talent to be so monstrous. To reach such heights in just a single year was astonishing.
"So you’ve truly reached the Supreme Realm. You monstrous geniuses are truly enviable. I’ve been stuck at the Heavenly King Realm Ninth Level for years, unable to break through. I’m really getting old!" Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Su Han, Sun Buzhou lamented.
He was just the minor Pavilion Master of the Qian Yuan City branch and not particularly strong himself. Having watched Su Han grow up before his very eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of the inexorable passage of time.
"Pavilion Master Sun, you flatter me. I believe you will also be able to break through successfully soon," Su Han said, exchanging a few simple pleasantries before getting straight to the point.
"Pavilion Master Sun, I came back this time to rescue my master. What’s the current situation with the Seven Stars Sect? Is there any news about him?"
Even with the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation at his disposal, Su Han did not act recklessly. After all, besides Ye Chuanfeng, the Seven Stars Sect still had several other Supreme Realm Elders. If he stormed in blindly, the likelihood of failure would be extremely high.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles. Su Han had already waited this long; he would not be reckless over a day or two. Rescuing his master was his greatest wish.
Sun Buzhou had already guessed Su Han’s intentions, so he wasn’t surprised. Without hiding anything, he shared all the information he knew.
"There isn’t much news about Venerable Lei. Ever since he was sealed under Yaoguang Peak last year, he only made that one public appearance during an execution. After that, there’s been no news. However, Venerable Lei should still be alive, because Ye Chuanfeng has always wanted to use him to lure you into a trap."
Venerable Lei’s full name was Lei Ming. Sun Buzhou had been collecting information for the past half-year, but unfortunately, with Lei Ming sealed away and inaccessible to most people, news was scarce.
Su Han had expected as much and nodded in understanding. In any case, as long as his master was still alive, that was all that mattered. As for his injuries, Su Han had brought Holy Level Elixirs this time and was confident he could heal them.
"As for the Seven Stars Sect, not much has changed," Sun Buzhou continued. "Besides Ye Chuanfeng becoming the Sect Master, the other six Spirit Peaks, excluding Yaoguang Peak, have been restored. The Sect has now selected ten new Great Elders and six Star Sons. Its overall strength is no weaker than before."
Qian Yuan City was close to the Seven Stars Sect, so he was naturally very clear about these details.
Originally, Mu Qingyun’s death in battle and the betrayal of Zhang Qiyi, Leng Rufeng, and Qin Wushuang brought great disaster upon the Seven Stars Sect. However, since Ye Chuanfeng’s return, he has reintegrated the sect with thunderous efficiency. The vacancies for Peak Masters and Elders have long been filled, and the major Spirit Peaks have also selected new Star Sons.
From the perspective of the Seven Stars Sect, Ye Chuanfeng’s contributions outweighed his faults. But Su Han felt no sense of belonging to the sect; he only recognized Lei Ming and Yaoguang Peak. Therefore, he was resolved to kill Ye Chuanfeng without fail.
"Now, including Ye Chuanfeng, there are a total of eleven Supreme Realm Elders in the Seven Stars Sect, but six of them were only promoted in the last half-year. Their strength is merely at the First or Second Layer of the Supreme Realm." Sun Buzhou shared some specific information he knew.
Ordinary Supreme Realm experts posed no threat to Su Han. Furthermore, he had no intention of annihilating the Seven Stars Sect, so a simple understanding of this information was sufficient.
"By the way, Ye Chuanfeng left two days ago and is temporarily not in the Seven Stars Sect!" Sun Buzhou suddenly added, revealing a crucial piece of information.
Ye Chuanfeng isn’t in the Seven Stars Sect?
Su Han’s eyebrows twitched, and he felt a hint of disappointment. He had already prepared to reuse the same tactics on Ye Chuanfeng that he had used against Qin Wushuang, but unexpectedly, the man was not even there.
However, it didn’t matter. Since Ye Chuanfeng was absent, he would rescue his master first. After that, he would go and slay Ye Chuanfeng.
"Pavilion Master Sun, thank you for the information!" Su Han said, standing up to take his leave.
"Su Han, since you’ve made your decision, I won’t say any more. I wish you swift success," Sun Buzhou said, offering his wishes with a clasped-hands salute.
After leaving the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Su Han began searching for disciples of the Seven Stars Sect within Qian Yuan City. Even though Ye Chuanfeng was absent, other elders and disciples remained in the sect, so he could not just barge in rashly. His plan was to assume someone else’s appearance, sneak into the Seven Stars Sect, and rescue his master secretly. He had to avoid startling the snake in the grass, which might scare Ye Chuanfeng away for good.
Suddenly, Su Han’s expression shifted as he noticed a familiar figure.
He spotted a middle-aged man with an expressionless face in the crowd. The man was a Physique Realm expert and the Law Enforcement Elder of the Seven Stars Sect’s Enforcement Hall.
Tie Wumian!
Su Han’s gaze sharpened. He had not expected to encounter this man here.
Back when he had taken Ning Feifan to challenge Tianxuan Peak, Tie Wumian had appeared, intending to pervert justice for personal gain and punish Su Han. Fortunately, Lei Ming had arrived just in time to save him.
Su Han, of course, had no good impression of Tie Wumian; he was an insidious and petty man.
You’ll do!
Su Han was never one to be soft-hearted when it came to repaying a grudge.
Soon, Su Han followed Tie Wumian out of Qian Yuan City. After confirming that no one was around, he struck without hesitation.
"Who’s there!" Tie Wumian cried out in alarm, feeling an intense sense of mortal danger. He instinctively retreated, trying to put a safe distance between himself and his attacker.
But Su Han was too fast, and the gap in their strength was too vast. In an instant, Su Han appeared right in front of him.
"Your killer!"
Su Han threw a single punch, obliterating Tie Wumian on the spot. With his current strength, killing the man was all too easy.
After using the Samadhi True Fire to incinerate the body and erase all traces, Su Han activated his Thousand Changes and Transformations ability. He assumed Tie Wumian’s appearance and headed toward the Seven Stars Sect in his place.
Soon, Su Han arrived at the mountain gate of the Seven Stars Sect.
Gazing at the familiar sect, Su Han’s eyes flickered.
Seven Stars Sect, I have returned!
