Chapter 854: Chapter 762: Both Palms Shattered (Part 2)
Inside the room, after Shen Han conversed with Elder Kang, he began to borrow geographical tomes from the reserves.
From the current clues, there were only two locations that might be the ones indicated on the legendary map by Immortal Tianheng.
While Shen Han was searching, Song Xiuqi had already supported Tang Biyun and fled.
They had arrived so arrogantly, but left in utter disgrace.
No one from Meihua Tower stopped them, after all, Shen Han did not strike them with lethal intent.
Meihua Tower was unlikely to involve itself in this matter.
The two fled towards Cangqiong Manor without pause.
Song Xiuqi had slightly regained his composure, yet Tang Biyun, in contrast, with her powerful strength, remained in a mental haze.
It seemed as if she was still in a state of descent.
The information traveled quickly; before they even reached Cangqiong Manor, the news had already reached there.
Of course, at Meihua Tower, Tang Biyun’s confrontation with Shen Han occurred in public view.
With so many witnessing it, how could the news be contained?
It’s likely that the news had spread on the very day it occurred.
The appearance of a Profound Immortal Realm expert is enough to shock the entire River Source Continent.
They had not yet reached the sect’s domain within Cangqiong Manor.
Yet at this moment, many were already there waiting.
Seeing Song Xiuqi and Tang Biyun, the crowd rushed forward immediately.
Her master’s injury prompted Song Shiyin to quickly step forward and assist.
Both palm bones were shattered...
Such a dire state is hard to imagine on an expert at the Immortal Realm.
Above True Immortal Realm strength, self-preservation abilities are already exceedingly strong.
Yet Tang Biyun indeed suffered serious injuries.
It’s uncertain how well she can recover with treatment.
Song Shiyin left with Tang Biyun, while the others surrounded Song Xiuqi. After a few words of concern, they couldn’t help but ask questions.
Song Xiuqi answered nothing, wanting only to return to his small courtyard to calm himself.
In the courtyard, after the manor physician applied medicine to Tang Biyun, he departed.
Leaving only Tang Biyun and her disciple Song Shiyin.
Worry was etched all over Song Shiyin’s face; she had merely heard some news from others.
However, the specifics were unknown to Song Shiyin.
The most shocking to her was the true strength of Shen Han.
It was said outside that Shen Han’s power had reached the Profound Immortal Realm.
Song Shiyin acknowledged and admired Shen Han’s talent, potential, and conduct.
Yet she still found it hard to believe in the Profound Immortal Realm claim.
Inside the house, Song Shiyin brought some food and gently spooned it to feed Tang Biyun.
"It’s all my fault..."
"Master, you’re injured. It’s best to eat something and rest more."
Song Shiyin wanted her master to rest more and not rush to speak.
But Tang Biyun turned her head, avoiding her spoon.
"Let me finish...
It was my delay of your opportunity; I always thought Shen Han approached you with ulterior motives.
Unexpectedly, everything was my own unfounded imagination.
Not only did I repay kindness with enmity, but I also spoke arrogantly and rudely before him."
Regret filled Tang Biyun’s eyes.
This opportunity should have allowed her disciple to draw near a Profound Immortal Realm expert.
But after such a commotion, what chance remained?
"Is he... truly of the Profound Immortal Realm..."
"Without a doubt, though he seems young, he is indeed Profound Immortal Realm.
Moreover, I feel his strength vaguely surpasses the Manor Master..."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiyin’s heart surged with emotion.
She held Shen Han in high regard, already setting him on a high pedestal.
But now, it seemed she had still underestimated him.
"Did he... hurt your hands, Master..."
Tang Biyun gently held Song Shiyin close.
"I was blind to insult a Profound Immortal Realm expert rudely.
Even uttered words of certain death...
That he only injured my hands shows great mercy."
Speaking, Tang Biyun glanced back at Song Shiyin, face marked by guilt.
"If not for me, this should have been a great opportunity..."
Song Shiyin said nothing, merely contemplated, and then looked back at her master.
"Did Xiuqi and Master say something to you?"
"That child kept saying such things in my ear, making me think he had other intentions for you..."
Song Shiyin remained silent, internalizing deep discomfort.
She hadn’t expected events to unfold as they did.
The main issue was her gratitude and respect for Shen Han.
She had none of the thoughts they imagined.
Without Shen Han’s formidable strength, she might have suffered for her sake...
Meanwhile, after half-day’s rest, Song Xiuqi was hauled out by the manor people in the middle of the night.
Upon hearing of Shen Han as a Profound Immortal Realm expert, Cangqiong Manor’s talents were all astounded.
For like them, he too entered the Immortal’s Residence this year.
Which means this Profound Immortal Realm expert is still very young...
Many pondered if they had offended Shen Han or said something inappropriate.
The only one feeling somewhat relieved was Chu Yanyang.
Previously, losing to Shen Han had been suffocating.
But now, he felt an inexplicable pride.
To have contended with a Profound Immortal Realm expert and for so long.
Even if he lost in the end, even with the expert suppressing his power, it was enough to astonish everyone.
Mentioning the related matters to the sect, Song Xiuqi carried a bit of delusion, intending to incite Cangqiong Manor against Shen Han.
But the manor’s high echelons were all wily old foxes.
His petty schemes were easily unraveled.
"Xiuqi, four years traveling has yet to temper you?
Do you understand what a Profound Immortal Realm expert signifies?
In our Cangqiong Manor, only the Manor Master can contend with him.
Even then, unable to restrain him, the young generation would be wiped out."
"Prepare generous gifts and apologize immediately; it’s your most prudent course."
"If he harbors grievances, be prepared for severe punishment from the manor."
...
With clues mostly gathered, Shen Han naturally did not linger at Meihua Tower.
This time, Shen Han headed southwest on the River Source Continent.
Based on various tomes and the map in his possession.
Shen Han consolidated three destinations.
The first locale he aimed for was reputedly visited by numerous experts.
Legend has it that treasures were left by a powerful being there.
Over the years, many sought their fortune in that place.
Even top-tier experts of River Source Continent were no exception.
After speaking with the Meihua Tower elder, Shen Han also heard some rumors.
It was said that in the past, Immortal Tianheng practiced there, leaving his weapon behind.
A supreme expert’s weapon naturally draws immense attention.
Many powerhouses seek it in vain.
Yet over centuries, scores have visited.
No one has reaped any reward from there.
Recent years have seen few go to waste time, except occasionally a youngster feeling destined.
Shen Han didn’t waste any time, traveling steadily to the location.
The River Source Continent wasn’t too far, and by boat, it was just a four-day journey.
Upon reaching the destination, a stone forest spread out before him.
The surrounding landscape was somewhat unique.
Massive stones towered like large trees.
Between the stones, some barren grass grew, now showing signs of life as summer neared.
Shen Han took out the map he drew; the sight matched the depiction from the Immortal’s Residence.
The surrounding mountain views corresponded precisely with the map.
Shen Han’s gaze searched within the stone forest, examining the massive stones for any mystical signs.
However, he found nothing remarkable.
After several two-hours, still no results.
Shen Han picked up the map again, cross-checking it, suppressing his inner impatience.
With patience, he continued searching.
