Han Yutang was frightened out of his wits and instinctively slashed out with a sword. However, that sword strike of his, which could rival a Sword Saint’s, didn’t manage to cut open the Array at all. Instead, it shook him back a few steps, and right after that, countless phantom Sword Lights fell from the sky, blotting out the heavens as they shot toward the two of them.

Han Yutang swung his sword once, dispersing those countless Sword Lights into nothingness. But before he could even catch his breath, tens of thousands of Sword Lights condensed again and slashed toward him once more, their power even stronger than before.

Han Yutang slashed several times in a row, and just as he shattered those myriad Sword Lights, new Sword Lights would immediately condense again, and their power only grew stronger and stronger.

"How, how can this be?" The lackey behind him didn’t have his strength and had long since been scared pale by the myriad Sword Lights, stammering as he spoke.

"How would I know how this happened?" Han Yutang said furiously.

Just now, when he slashed out that sword, he had also formed hand gestures at the same time, wanting to withdraw the Array, but those hand gestures didn’t have the slightest effect.

In other words, he was trapped by the Array he himself had set up.

The other Holy Court Disciples saw the situation turning bad and also drew their swords to rush forward, trying to break the Array, but unfortunately, they were shaken back again and again by the Array.

Inside the Array, those myriad Sword Lights gathered and scattered, scattered and gathered, their power actually growing greater and greater. Later on, peals of thunderous booms even rang out, making everyone’s hearts tremble.

In a moment of carelessness, the lackey behind Han Yutang was struck by a Sword Light. Although he protected his vitals at the last second with his Longsword at death’s door, he was still blasted to the ground by that Thunder Power, his whole body charred black, wisps of smoke rising from his head, foam coming out of his mouth as his whole body convulsed.

At first, Han Yutang could still hold on, but as the Sword power grew stronger and stronger, it became harder and harder for him to cope.

With a "boom," a Sword Light fell straight down from above. Han Yutang raised his Longsword over his head to block, and the Sword Light exploded like shocking thunder.

The jade hairpin bundling his hair was blasted into powder, and his clothes were blown into strips. At this moment, Han Yutang’s hair was disheveled and his clothes in tatters, half his face turned pitch black, looking as wretched as one could possibly be.

Zhuang Ping’an, Sang Qinghe, and the others were all stunned, and when they looked at Han Yan again, their gazes completely changed.

At the start, they had thought that her line "good deeds bring good rewards, evil deeds bring evil retribution" was just her giving herself a way out, but only now did they realize that wasn’t the case at all. Those words were clearly aimed at Han Yutang.

Too terrifying. That Array had obviously been set up by Han Yutang to make things difficult for them, yet with just a few casual hand gestures, Han Yan not only broke the Array but also secretly tampered with it, actually trapping Han Yutang inside instead.

Such methods, such scheming, were truly terrifying!

No wonder she could become Anyun’s number one playboy. This Han Yan is someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend!

"You, what did you do?" Whatever the others could think of, Han Yutang naturally could as well. He roared angrily at Han Yan.

"Huh? Didn’t you see with your own eyes what I did? Why ask such a strange question? Oh right, could it be that there’s something wrong with your Array and you want to pin it on me?" Han Yan looked at Han Yutang as if he were an idiot, then spoke as if suddenly enlightened.

Earlier, when Wei Xiaotian came to pick a fight with her, he’d at least put on a façade and pretended to pass on the Holy Court’s orders. This Han Yutang, however, was brazen and unscrupulous, clearly someone whose status and background might not be as high as a Saint’s but was definitely not small. Han Yan had no intention of taking every blame onto herself. Of course, this didn’t really count as blame either, because she had indeed tampered with the Array, but no matter what, she would never admit it.

"I don’t care what you did. I’m telling you, I am Divine Elder Ao’s Direct Disciple. If anything, anything happens to me, my Master will definitely not let you off." Han Yutang roared sternly, but unfortunately, his trembling voice betrayed the fear in his heart.

"How strange. Your own Array has a problem, so if your Master wants to blame someone, he can only blame you for not learning properly. On what grounds would he not let me off?" Han Yan’s expression grew even stranger and more innocent.

Han Yan believed that with the Holy Master here, no matter how powerful that Master of Han Yutang’s—this so-called Divine Elder Ao—was, he still had to talk reason. As long as there was no solid evidence and she herself didn’t admit anything, then even if Han Yutang died in this Array, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

"Fine, fine. Once I break this Array and report everything to my Master, we’ll see how he deals with you." Han Yutang said through gritted teeth.

Han Yan rolled her eyes and couldn’t even be bothered to respond. People say that under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head. This Han Yutang was clearly spoiled rotten; he didn’t even understand that simple logic. Things were already like this, yet he still dared to threaten her.

Ye Yanran also rolled her eyes at the side, then patted Jiang Yuzhe’s shoulder and muttered, "This guy’s idiocy is depressing. More depressing than you."

"What?" Jiang Yuzhe looked utterly confused.

"Forget it, nothing. Just pretend I didn’t say anything." Ye Yanran turned her head away with an expression that said she couldn’t bear to look.

Zirong and Huayue were struggling hard to hold back their laughter at the side.

Everyone outside was watching as if they were enjoying a leisurely show, but inside the Array, things were anything but good.

Countless Sword Lights condensed once more. Han Yutang slashed one sword after another, but those Sword Lights kept gathering and scattering, scattering and gathering, their power growing stronger and stronger. Those peals of wind and thunder also grew even more earth-shaking.

"Boom!" With another dull bang, a Sword Light exploded above his head like shocking thunder. Han Yutang’s entire face turned pitch black, and wisps of smoke rose from his now scorched yellow hair.

"Let me out, you... you quickly withdraw the Array and let me out!" Han Yutang shouted at Han Yan. He was both furious and anxious, scared to the point that there was a hint of sobbing in his voice.

"The Array wasn’t set up by me, how could I possibly withdraw it? But if you really want to come out, I do have a way." Han Yan said unhurriedly.

"What way? Hurry up and tell me!" Han Yutang finally understood the logic of having to bow one’s head under someone else’s roof and asked anxiously.

"Don’t rush. I remember someone clearly said just now that as long as we could break the Array, he’d apologize to us. But later, he went back on his word, which made me feel really bad, really angry. And when I get angry, I forget things... so now I’ve forgotten the way." Han Yan said lazily.

Ye Yanran and the others directly burst out laughing with a "pfft." They had said it already—how could Lady Mu be such an easy person to talk to? If she didn’t strip a layer of skin off someone, how was that possible? As for Zhuang Ping’an and the others, their expressions were even more精彩. They were all dumbfounded. So it could be played like this? They had really broadened their horizons. Respect, truly respect!

Han Yutang bit his lip. He was the one who’d said those words earlier. If he had apologized earlier, that would’ve been that—at worst he’d lose a bit of face, but he would still be upright and aboveboard. But he’d tried to weasel out of it later, and if he apologized again now, wouldn’t he be losing both face and dignity?

Just as Han Yutang was hesitating, the Sword Lights that had just been scattered condensed again.
