Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

After dealing with Situ Chen, Shen Han went back to the old servant of the Situ Family.

“Do you have a Sound Transmission Jade on you?

I’ll give you a chance to go warn them.”

As Shen Han spoke, he essentially disabled him, leaving him half-alive to send the warning.

After finishing all this, Shen Han looked up at Yan Yun beside him.

At this moment, she was still in a state of shock.

She always thought Shen Han’s strength should be at the peak of the Spiritual Harmony Realm, and perhaps during this journey, he would enter the Loose Immortal Realm.

But here, Situ Yue of the Loose Immortal Realm was slapped away with one blow.

He didn’t even have a chance to exchange blows with Shen Han.

In a moment, he turned into a wastrel.

“Spread the word; I’ll be leaving at the latest by the day after tomorrow.

It would be best for them all to come at once so I can deal with them all at once.”

With that, Shen Han walked back into the City Lord Mansion.

Yan Yun, with some surprise in her heart, also had the news spread immediately.

She wasn’t a fool; she had already seen through it.

Shen Han’s current power was far more formidable than she had imagined.

It’s better not to make decisions on your own but to calmly follow the arrangements.

When Shen Han was around, Yan Yun felt that life was much easier.

There was someone to come up with ideas, all she needed to do was execute them.

Unlike before, where she had to make all decisions herself and think of various ways to handle things.

After seeing Shen Han and Yan Yun walk into the City Lord Mansion, the city’s residents gradually started to come out one by one.

Cautiously, they headed to the spot just moments before.

Situ Yue, the Loose Immortal Realm expert, used to be regarded as a god in this region.

Now he lay there like a dead dog.

The old servant of the Situ Family was barely alive, using what little strength he had to warn others.

It’s astonishing how those who were so tyrannical could end up like this…

Some daring townsfolk picked up sticks and poked at them.

Still, there was no response.

Under such circumstances, many townsfolk finally felt relieved.

After being bullied so long, who would have thought a day of revenge would come?

At the same time, the townsfolk also realized.

So, City Lord Yan had a powerful backer all along, one not weaker than the Situ Family.

The perception of Shen Han and Yan Yun among the townsfolk

also experienced some changes.

If the Situ Family could not retaliate this time, City Lord Yan’s position would likely become more stable.

At this moment, the Situ Family had already received the news.

Situ Yue was disabled, Situ Chen had been captured and reprimanded.

Even after receiving the news, the Situ Family didn’t rush to take revenge.

Being able to take down Situ Yue in such a manner meant it wasn’t an ordinary person.

The Patriarch of the Situ Family was very rational; even though his son was captured, he didn’t rush into a hasty act of revenge.

Soon, spies from the Northern Mountain Domain sent back news.

It was a man named Shen Han who acted.

This person was quite unfamiliar, seemingly someone from the outside.

Upon receiving this news, the Patriarch of the Situ Family still didn’t act impulsively; instead, he took the initiative to message the Zheng Family.

He proposed to stop fighting with the Zheng Family and align with them against Yan Yun and the others.

Incidentally, he mentioned Shen Han.

Upon hearing Shen Han’s name, the people of the Zheng Family were visibly stunned, then said they would discuss it.

When next communicating to the Situ Patriarch, the Zheng Family directly refused them.

The Zheng Family stated the Northern Mountain Domain was barren and of no interest, yielding it entirely to the Situ Family.

Receiving this, the Situ Patriarch quickly realized something was amiss.

The Zheng Family wasn’t a major family,

although it had Zheng Changnian, he hadn’t fully matured yet.

Even though the Northern Mountain Domain was poor, it wasn’t something the Zheng Family could disdain.

There had to be another reason for this situation.

With this in mind, the Situ Patriarch became even more cautious, immediately sending people to investigate.

Especially regarding the Zheng Family, they must know something.

After waiting a full day, the Situ Patriarch spent a lot of money to finally learn the news.

The Zheng Family’s descendants, cultivating in Cangxuan Valley, knew this Shen Han.

According to the information from these descendants,

Shen Han was already a direct disciple of the Star Tower, a strength on par with Zheng Changnian.

More critically, the Inner Domain faction greatly favored him…

The Situ Family couldn’t possibly provoke even an Outer Domain sect, let alone one from the Inner Domain.

The smallest sect in the Inner Domain could easily erase the Situ Family.

Upon clear understanding of these circumstances, the Situ Patriarch had no room for hesitation.

Going against a disciple affiliated with an Inner Domain sect would be foolish, and there was no need to drag the entire family to their death.

After waiting two days in the Northern Mountain Domain, not only did the Situ Family not come to retaliate,

but some people came with gifts seeking reconciliation instead.

The once arrogant Situ Family was now exceedingly polite in their apologies.

Every benefit they had previously seized, the Situ Family willingly relinquished.

All the problems Yan Yun struggled to solve,

were resolved within just three days after Shen Han arrived.

The power gap was so significant that sometimes, the casual assistance of a strong person

could equal decades of effort by ordinary people.

Seeing that the Situ Family did not come, Shen Han did not linger any longer.

When leaving, Yan Yun’s reluctant appearance was baffling to those who knew her.

They had never seen her like this before.

…

Shen Han once again boarded the magical artifact, flying to the far north.

The reason the Northern Mountain Domain is remote is mainly due to its proximity to the Poison Sea.

The Poison Sea is notorious, and even powerful beings like Profound Immortals suffer harm if they casually step into it.

Because of this, those powerful and capable prefer staying as far away from the Poison Sea as possible.

Shen Han used two two-hour periods to once again arrive at the edge of the Poison Sea.

Standing by the coast, he gazed toward the opposite side.

It has been almost two years.

It’s almost been two years since I left Great Wei.

I wonder if Luo Zuchen is still waiting for me at the exit of the Land of the Far South.

Having not witnessed my demise with his own eyes, Luo Zuchen should be feeling uneasy, right?

He indeed should be uneasy.

Just as he thought, some troubles remain unresolved.

After a few years, they will become calamities.

This calamity that makes him uncomfortable has finally returned.

Without much hesitation, Shen Han stepped onto the boat-shaped magical artifact and proceeded toward Great Wei ahead.

The toxin concentration above the Poison Sea increases as you go higher.

Sticking close to the sea surface is the best route.

The water also contains numerous toxins, making swimming across a very unreliable decision.

When I came, I could only rely on a small boat, rowing back and forth non-stop.

But this time, Shen Han can directly take the Boat-Traveling Magical Artifact, which is far better than the small boat in terms of speed and comfort.

When I came, it took me more than twenty two-hour periods.

Today, with the Boat-Traveling Magical Artifact, the return will be much faster.

After about ten two-hour periods, Shen Han finally crossed this Poison Sea.

His “Unceasing Skill” had already been running frantically.

These toxins are indeed fierce, and Shen Han is now an Immortal Realm expert.

But even facing these toxins, he would still be corroded.

He still had to rely on the “Unceasing Skill” to resist, barely managing to suppress these toxins.

Crossing the Poison Sea, Shen Han stood on the coast.

He had finally returned…

Looking back at the Poison Sea, Shen Han actually had a feeling.

It felt as though the toxic mist on this Poison Sea was dissipating.

Shen Han did not delve into it; the most urgent matter now was returning to Great Wei.

There is still a Land of the Far South ahead.

In this poison-infested place, one must be even more cautious.

Moreover, outside the Land of the Far South, would Luo Zuchen still be there?

Walking through the Land of the Far South may exhaust some physical strength.

Will there be danger then?

Shen Han frowned; these were matters he needed to carefully consider and pay attention to.

…

Anyang City.

In the past two years, the Yun Family has gradually developed into a top aristocratic family.

The Yun Family’s pills are of excellent quality, with a high success rate in pill formation, and the costs are far lower than other aristocratic families.

Under such circumstances, with superior quality and low price, it’s challenging for the Yun Family not to prosper.

Even the reputed first medicine-refining aristocratic family, the Changsun Family,

now somewhat overshadows by the Yun Family.

The most critical point is that the Yun Family surpasses the Changsun Family through legitimate means.

They did not use any underhanded tricks or schemes.

The Yun Family even has no intention of competing with the Changsun Family, but the success rate of their pill formation and the quality of their pills are steadily improving.

The family’s status can only rise.

The year has just passed, and some festive atmosphere still lingers in Anyang City.

But the Yun Mansion appears somewhat deserted.

This New Year’s, like last year, was still somewhat carelessly celebrated.

If not for the sake of blessings, the Yun Mansion might not even bother celebrating the New Year.

“Madam, you should eat something.

You only ate a little yesterday, and for breakfast, you just had a bowl of porridge.

At least eat a bit more…”

Cailing’Er entered with some dishes and approached Yun Shuang.

Seeing Cailing’Er approach, Madam Yun’s face showed a slight smile.

“Since Cailing’Er wants me to eat, I will certainly eat some. But, you must accompany me.”

The two sat together at the table, each tasting some of the dishes.

“Cailing, do you think Han is still in the Land of the Far South?

If he truly is inside, then why didn’t he return for the New Year?

Even sending a letter or a message back would be good…”

Madam Yun handled the spoon, gently scooping the food from the bowl.

Although she was eating, her mind was not on the meal at all.

Hearing Madam Yun’s words, Cailing hesitated for a moment before responding:

“Madam, please don’t worry too much. The Moon Bamboo Peak Master said that the villain Luo Zuchen is extremely cautious in his actions.

Finding him on the outskirts of the Land of the Far South proves that Young Master Han certainly has not been harmed by his poison.

The Moon Bamboo Peak Master also mentioned last time that she would go to the Land of the Far South to find Young Master Han…”

Cailing softly comforted Madam Yun.

But in her heart, there was little reassurance.

It has already been over a year, nearly two years.

Where exactly is Young Master Han…

If Young Master Han were still alive, why hasn’t there been any news?

Madam Yun quickly finished the main course in the bowl.

However, she only took a small portion of the side dishes, leaving most on the plate.

It was evident that she lacked appetite.
