Chapter 482: Jun Han

Chapter 482: Jun Han

November 6, 2024

Two days after the incident, Jun Han finally set off for Heaven Spanning Mountain.

It had been several years since he reached the Fifth Stage Perfect Realm.

It was said that the Fifth Stage was a realm to prepare for the Transcendent Realm.

Reaching the Fifth Stage Perfect Realm meant one was fully prepared.

However, Jun Han had been stuck at this stage for many years, unable to break through the shackles.

Among his peers, there were already other disciples who had advanced to the Fifth Stage Perfect Realm.

This put some pressure on Jun Han.

He had been at the Fifth Stage for so long, and if he were to be surpassed by other junior disciples, it would be embarrassing for him.

This trip to Heaven Spanning Mountain was another attempt to advance to the Transcendent Realm.

During the Sacred Jade Tournament, Jun Han was also motivated by the benefits he saw in helping Sang Muye.

On this trip to Heaven Spanning Mountain, Jun Han only brought one attendant.

Having someone to handle trivial matters would save him from having to do everything himself.

Just as Su Chen had initially expected, Jun Han did not have anyone protecting him.

Heaven Spanning Mountain was too close to Wulan Manor.

In the eyes of Wulan Manor, it was practically at their doorstep.

Martial artists could not be protected all the time.

Those who were overly protected would never grow.

Even Sang Muye's disciples were not always protected.

When they went to the Shadowless Battlefield, it was just him and Mo Liuzheng, the two young ones, who went.

Jun Han traveling alone was even more normal.

To Jun Han, he had never thought that Su Chen would pose a threat to him.

Firstly, he was not afraid of Su Chen.

The strength Su Chen displayed at the Wu Ying Assembly was only at the Fifth Stage Beginner Level.

Secondly, Jun Han also shared the same thoughts as others.

This was Wulan Manor's doorstep, and Su Chen wouldn't even have time to hide, let alone do anything else.

March 20th.

Su Chen had been staying at this post station for half a month.

And on this day, he saw his target of wait.

Gu Liang did not speak nonsense.

Jun Han was indeed going to Heaven Spanning Mountain to cultivate at the end of March.

Su Chen immediately used his movement technique, heading towards the spot he had identified.

The post station was crowded, and even before the fork in the road, there were many people coming and going.

If he suddenly made a move, there was a high chance that someone would interfere.

These people were unaware of the situation.

But upon seeing a fight, they would be eager to join in.

Such situations were not uncommon.

Su Chen did not want to encounter such variables, so he chose a spot with minimal foot traffic to make his move.

It would be much better to act there than here.

Su Chen pushed his movement technique to its limit, quickly moving forward.

Here, he could rest for half a day or more.

Jun Han's carriage would take at least half a day or more to catch up.

After all, Su Chen did not have to follow the official road, which would be a roundabout route.

Moving in a straight line would naturally be much faster.

He kept his mission goal firmly in mind.

The first move against Jun Han was to damage his custom defense armor.

Subsequent moves would then severely injure him.

As for what would happen to Jun Han after he was severely injured, Su Chen did not need to concern himself with that.

The purpose of his actions was to make Wulan Manor feel threatened.

He and his mother and younger sister had been trapped in danger.

A sharp longsword hung over their heads, and they were constantly at risk of losing their lives.

Wulan Manor had brought deadly danger upon them.

So he would return the favor.

Jun Han would be injured, and Gu Liang as well.

What if Wulan Manor was a major sect? Su Chen was going to injure their disciples, severely, right at their doorstep.

He would make them panic and tremble in fear.

In the Jin Kingdom, when conflicts arose between sects, they usually would not target each other's younger generations.

After all, if you harm me, I will harm your descendants.

If they fought to the death, both sides would suffer.

The people of the major sects were not fools; they would not use such extreme methods to resolve conflicts.

But for Su Chen, he did not have to worry about Wulan Manor's retaliation.

Wulan Manor already wanted his life.

Su Chen was currently in the Jin Kingdom, alone and without support.

He used to have Zhuming Palace to rely on.

But after Wulan Manor's manipulations, Zhuming Palace had publicly severed ties with Su Chen.

Time passed.

Jun Han's carriage was getting closer.

Su Chen had already spotted it, and he held his breath and focused, preparing himself.

He gripped his longsword tightly.

At the end of March, due to the climate in the Jin Kingdom, there was only a hint of spring outside.

Some flower buds had started to bloom, their fragrance still hidden.

But at this moment, Su Chen no longer concealed his strength.

Langxiao Sword Technique! This move was not one of brute force but rather a technique from the Nine Heavens Sword Techniques, filled with the most variables.

The sharp blade directly sliced through the carriage.

Jun Han probably never expected that someone would attack him at this moment.

When the sword technique struck, he sensed it.

Unable to avoid it, he was still injured by this move of the Tai Xiao Blade Technique.

The top of the carriage was directly flipped over, and the wooden boards around it were cut off, leaving a perfectly smooth edge.

This strike also caused the custom-made inner armor on Jun Han's body to crack.

The sound of shattering was clear, and one could even see the fragments falling out.

The follower driving the carriage in front was already scared witless. He probably never expected that the senior brother of the younger generation of Wulan Manor would be ambushed.

This place was still near Wulan Manor, and there were likely Wulan Manor warriors passing by.

No matter how shocked he was, the incident had already happened.

After the first strike, Su Chen did not immediately retreat.

The peerless long blade in his hand was swung out again.

Tai Xiao Blade Technique!

With a single swing, the surrounding aura seemed to be drained.

Protected by the custom-made inner armor, Jun Han still had the strength to counterattack.

Although Su Chen was in disguise, the previous Gu Liang had recognized him.

Jun Han had sparred with Su Chen at the Xuan Ying Assembly, so he should have been able to tell.

It was precisely because he could tell that Jun Han was even more shocked.

His body instinctively dodged, using his movement technique to create distance from Su Chen.

At this moment, the Tai Xiao Blade Technique was already upon him.

A Fifth Stage Full Realm warrior was still superior in terms of mental state and physique.

Moreover, Jun Han was the senior brother of Wulan Manor; he couldn't be that weak.

He frantically blocked, and a violent pressure collided.

The attendant who had already crawled some distance away was directly stunned by the pressure.

Jun Han dodged the fatal blow, but he was still severely injured.

His body had undoubtedly suffered a significant blow.

At this moment, a streak of firework shot into the sky and exploded instantly.

The blood-red light was very eye-catching even during the day, and the sound was deafening.

It was obvious that this was Wulan Manor's distress signal.

Su Chen did not hesitate; a single devastating strike had already achieved his purpose.

This place was indeed close to Wulan Manor, and seeing the fireworks, there was a high probability that someone would arrive soon.

Such actions were naturally based on ensuring one's own safety first.

Su Chen did not hesitate for long; he directly leaped away and fled.

Injuring Jun Han like this had already accomplished his goal.

At the entrance of Wulan Manor.

There were still Wulan Manor warriors passing by frequently.

Jun Han was still severely injured.

After this news spread throughout Wulan Manor, it would undoubtedly cause a huge commotion.

Especially among the younger generation.

Jun Han was their senior brother.

Even if his talent and potential were not the most outstanding, he was still exceptional.

If he could suffer such a severe injury, what about the others?

Could the other young generation of Wulan Manor protect themselves when they went out?

In less than half an hour, a Wulan Manor warrior had already rushed over.

He saw the fireworks and sprinted towards it.

This time seemed short.

But Su Chen had already fled long ago. After half an hour, who knew how many mountains he had crossed; how could they possibly find him?

Jun Han leaned against the ruined carriage, his chest bleeding.

Read the correct version at 69shu! 6=9+shu_ba first release of this novel.

His clothes were already soaked in bloodstains.

"Jun Han? How are you? Who attacked you, and which direction did they flee in?"

The person who came was a Wulan Manor guard, also at the Fifth Stage Full Realm.

"He fled a long time ago, and I couldn't catch up."

Jun Han spoke the truth, and he didn't want the guard to pursue him either.

What he needed now was for this guard to send him back and treat his current injuries.

Jun Han couldn't accurately judge the severity of his injuries.

The custom-made inner armor on his body had already shattered when Su Chen's first ambush strike landed.

The subsequent Tai Xiao Blade Technique forced Jun Han to desperately protect himself to avoid fatal injuries.

His life was indeed preserved, but as for the other injuries, Jun Han didn't know how severe they were.

Seeing Jun Han's poor condition, the guard didn't hesitate.

He prepared to immediately take Jun Han back to Wulan Manor.

In a moment, other Wulan Manor people also arrived.

After seeing the fireworks, they dropped everything and rushed over.

The distance was a bit far, so they arrived a bit late.

Upon learning that Jun Han was injured, these Wulan Manor people all frowned.

The Manor's disciple was injured, and not lightly.

The attacker had even fled directly.

This was a direct provocation to Wulan Manor.

They prepared a new carriage to send Jun Han back to the Manor safely.

On the carriage, everyone learned the identity of the assailant from Jun Han.

Su Chen.

The person who had attacked Sang Muye and Jun Han at the Xuan Ying Assembly.

Ever since Sang Muye was injured, Wulan Manor had known about someone like Su Chen.

But initially, they didn't take it seriously.

And now, Su Chen no longer had the protection of Zhu Ming Palace.

According to reason, Su Chen should be hiding from the pursuit of Wulan Manor, like a rat in the shadows, constantly evading capture.

That rat, should be hiding in fear.

But now, Su Chen dares to show himself and directly attacks Jun Han.

Moreover, he even managed to injure Jun Han!

During the time Jun Han was sent back to Wulan Manor.

Su Chen did not flee far away.

The usual speculation was that after injuring Jun Han, Su Chen would definitely escape far away.

But in fact, Su Chen directly returned to Yangchun City.

He bought some food and went straight back to the place where Gu Liang was being held.

At this moment, Gu Liang's condition was still quite good.

This time, Su Chen spent twenty-three days dealing with Jun Han.

Compared to the agreed-upon one month, he saved seven days.

Seeing Su Chen's return, Gu Liang was also stunned for a moment and unconsciously stood up.

The cultivation technique of Wulan Manor still had its uses.

Gu Liang was seriously injured by Su Chen.

At this moment, although his strength had not recovered much, his body had mostly healed, and he had no issues with walking or climbing.

He had expected that Su Chen would not be able to return.

Daring to attack Elder Brother Jun Han, Su Chen would surely not return.

By the thirtieth day, Gu Liang himself could walk back.

But now, Su Chen actually returned directly.

Seeing Su Chen in good condition, with his clothes neat and tidy.

Gu Liang seemed to have an idea in his mind.

Su Chen must have escaped on the spot, or he never laid an ambush for Jun Han.

Otherwise, how could he return like nothing had happened?

"You got it right, Jun Han will indeed be going to Mitianshan at the end of March.

Keeping my promise, I agreed to spare your life."

After saying this, Su Chen directly released the formation he had set up earlier.

Seeing Su Chen's actions, Gu Liang's heart became a little chaotic.

What does this mean?

Did Su Chen really succeed?

At this moment, Gu Liang's uneasiness grew.

If Su Chen's attack on Jun Han was successful, then he was an accomplice.

Elder Brother Jun Han's whereabouts were all revealed by Gu Liang himself! Thinking of this, Gu Liang became more and more anxious.

But Su Chen did not give him a chance to ask, and his figure swayed as he left.

After regaining his freedom, Gu Liang watched Su Chen's departing figure, his heart growing more and more chaotic.

He was injured, and with the food Su Chen left, he could return to the nearby city without any issues.

After doing all this, Su Chen returned to Yangchun City.

Regarding the threat from Wulan Manor, Su Chen was not too worried.

They were a powerful sect, with dozens of Transcendent Masters.

But in this vast world, could they find him?

Su Chen quietly waited in Yangchun City.

Waiting for news from Wulan Manor, to see their reaction after Jun Han's injury.

In Yangchun City, the flowers were in full bloom.

Here, spring always arrived a step earlier than outside.

In Yangchun City, there were even more people coming to enjoy the spring than before.

But Su Chen also discovered that among the many people in Yangchun City, not all of them were there to enjoy the spring.

Using the excuse of enjoying the spring, this place had become a gathering spot for buying and selling treasures during the spring season.

Those who wanted to sell treasures and those who wanted to buy treasures would all come to Yangchun City during this period.

Wulan Manor organized auctions here, and even conducted their own buying and selling.

For Wulan Manor, it was a significant source of income every year.

In recent years, the transactions here had even shown signs of growing larger.

Su Chen took the opportunity to take a look, to see if he could find something useful.

Inside Wulan Manor.

The news of Jun Han's injury was reported to all the high-level members of the manor on the same night.

Jun Han was a core disciple of Wulan Manor, just like Sang Muye.

The last time Sang Muye was injured, it was because he made the first move.

Moreover, there was Elder Yin Nu present at the Sacred Jade Tournament.

After Elder Yin Nu gave his promise, Su Chen took action.

At that time, Sang Muye was boasting, causing a lot of trouble.

Under various conditions, Sang Muye was injured.

But now, Jun Han was directly ambushed.

Moreover, it happened at the outskirts of Wulan Manor.

In the central tower of the manor, several high-level members of Wulan Manor had already gathered.

"Where is Elder Fan? When will she return?"

The one asking was the Manor Master of Wulan Manor, Hao Yuan.

With his furrowed brows, as the Manor Master, he understood the seriousness of this matter.

"Elder Fan is handling matters in the south. After the Zhu Ming Palace issue is resolved, she will go there directly.

The manor has already sent a letter, and she should return as soon as she receives it."

Beside him, another elder of the manor also replied solemnly.
