Chapter 18: Strong Will to Kill

In the next moment, Guan Sheng's smile quickly faded, turning gloomy, and then grim.

The smile was a disguise, and the grimness was his true state of mind.

And at this moment.

This grimness reached its limit.

He was fooled.

A thought flashed through his mind, and a surge of anger emerged on his grim face.

This anger surged very quickly, but it also disappeared in less than half a breath.

The smile returned.

It seemed that the rapid change of expression just now was just an illusion.

He sighed heavily.

"Junior Brother Han, you are so mean."

"Aren't you deliberately trying to harm me?"

"Junior Brother Han, open the door first, and let's talk. We can refine the elixir later, or I will compensate you with spiritual stones."

"If you have any conditions, please try to propose them."

"In such a hurry, where can I find a suitable helper?"

"Really, really, hey..."

Guan Sheng kept persuading outside the door, and his tone and expression were very contagious.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Han Yi inside the door had closed the magic circle again and entered the quiet room, and he didn't listen to it.

After a full quarter of an hour, Guan Sheng outside the door was almost dry from talking, but he still found that there was no sound inside the door.

He had to give up, snorted unsatisfiedly, and left with his sleeves.

But.

After walking out ten meters, his face with his back to the yard became extremely gloomy again.

"There is a problem."

"There is a big problem."

Guan Sheng suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Three months ago, he had made an agreement with Han Yi, and Han Yi agreed to help.

Why did Han Yi act out of character after three months and dare not even open the door, obviously keeping people away.

According to his previous observations, Han Yi was not of this character.

Moreover, in fact, he took great care of Han Yi, even gave him the recipe of the evil-repelling pill, provided the raw materials for free, and could share 20% of the profits after refining the pill.

Such care can be said to be a heavy favor.

If it were a normal person, it would be impossible not to help with a simple task for half a month.

And.

Three months ago...

Guan Sheng paused, thinking of the day three months ago when Han Yi left, Jiang De also disappeared after leaving the house.

Yes, missing.

In the world of immortal cultivation, what does it mean for a person to disappear? Guan Sheng knew very well.

He searched secretly for a long time, and finally suspected that a fight between cultivators that occurred a few streets away from the Xuanhuo Danpu might be related to Jiang De.

It's just a possibility.

Because through his connections, he found a Qi-training monk from the Dagan official and reviewed the battle situation at that time.

He only knew that the battle at the scene was very short. After just a few breaths, the battle stopped, and a corpse with no identification was left at the scene.

Guan Sheng was not sure whether the corpse was Jiang De's.

If it was, who was the enemy?

He did not doubt Han Yi at the beginning. First, Han Yi's realm had just broken through the third level of Qi training, while Jiang De was at the fourth level of Qi training.

Moreover, he was very familiar with the alchemy of these sects' outsiders. Their alchemy skills were mediocre, and their combat skills were even worse. They might only have a spell that was not even qualified for entry.

Moreover, he had investigated Han Yi through his own channels before, including Han Yi's cultivation, spells, personality, etc.

Although Jiang De was also an alchemist, he practiced several powerful attack spells.

Compared to Han Yi, who had just broken through to the third level of Qi training and did not show any outstanding magic, Jiang De was simply a dimensional strike.

If the cultivators fighting in the alley were really two people, then it would be easy for Jiang De to capture them.

But according to the records, the person suspected of being Jiang De was crushed one-sidedly in the battle.

The person who had such strength to crush Jiang De should be at least at the peak of the fourth level of Qi training, or even the fifth level of Qi training.

Based on this range, Han Yi can be ruled out.

But.

From Han Yi's attitude today, Guan Sheng felt that it was unusual.

Was it Han Yi who killed Jiang De?

No.

This conjecture can be completely ruled out.

Then.

There are two other possibilities.

One possibility is that Jiang De did attack Han Yi at the beginning, but for some reason, he was crushed to death by another cultivator.

The cultivator may have thought that Jiang De attacked him, so he fought back and did not hold back, which can explain why Jiang De was blasted into pieces.

This caused Han Yi to become a frightened bird, and he began to doubt Jiang De, and gradually expanded his suspicion to everyone, so today, facing Guan Sheng, he didn't even dare to open the door.

The second possibility is that Han Yi, whether by accident or deliberate investigation, found out the problem of Xuanhuo Danpu in these three months and became suspicious of Guan Sheng.

At this moment, many possible thoughts flashed through Guan Sheng's mind, and he filled in the two possibilities that he thought were the most likely.

Only Han Yi said just now that he had inspiration for alchemy and was about to break through. He didn't even believe the punctuation marks of this nonsense.

Regardless of which of the above two possibilities, it shows that Han Yi cannot be let go no matter what.

Han Yi must die.

Guan Sheng's footsteps did not stop, but he set the tone for Han Yi's life and death.

As for killing Han Yi directly here, he certainly would not choose to do so.

Even with his sixth-level cultivation, it would take a certain amount of time to forcefully attack the formation of this courtyard, and the movement would definitely be very large.

He has too many means to kill Han Yi.

On the other side.

In the quiet room.

After Han Yi recovered his mana, he practiced Lingxu Finger again.

There were only two months left before the one-year deadline, and he urgently needed to push Lingxu Finger to a new level.

But the more urgent he was, the more he knew he couldn't be impatient.

Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles.

At this time, the two bedrooms had been opened up, and the walls were riddled with holes, and there was a three-meter-deep pit on the ground.

Puff, puff, puff...

Ten fingers played continuously, and the spiritual light surged, as if pressing on the zither, playing a peerless divine song.

Time flies.

Han Yi, who was focused and immersed in practice again, didn't know that outside the yard, in a remote dark place, there was a pair of eyes every day, staring at the yard boredly.

The owner of these eyes was not Guan Sheng, but Guan Sheng sent to stare at Han Yi.

At a certain time, the man staring at the yard suddenly shuddered, because there was a huge vibration in the yard in front, and this vibration was as if the entire magic array was shaken.

Although the vibration was short, it really happened. Guan Sheng had ordered that any changes in the yard must be reported.

He quietly waited until the night was about to fall, and then left the place where he was squatting and went to the Xuanhuo Dan Shop.

"Abnormal vibration?" Guan Sheng raised his eyebrows after listening to his report.

"Yes, Guan Lao, the vibration was very loud, as if the entire yard array was shaking, but I didn't see anyone attacking the yard."

"Moreover, this vibration is the first abnormality in the magic array yard in this month. There is obviously a problem."

"Did the people inside come out?" Guan Sheng asked again.

"No, I was very alert and kept watching. I definitely wouldn't have seen it wrong. Until I left just now, the magic circle was still maintained. The people inside couldn't leave."

"Okay, since the people are still here, just ignore them. You continue to watch tomorrow."

"Remember, if there is any movement, come back and report to me immediately. Don't act rashly. Remember this."

Guan Sheng waved his hand, and the people in front of him bowed respectfully and retreated.

"The huge abnormal vibration, could it be that the alchemy furnace exploded?"

"No, even if the alchemy furnace exploded, there is a house as a buffer, and with Han Yi's strength, it is impossible to shake the formation."

"Interesting, I really can't tell that this kid has such a secret."

"In more than a month, it will be a year. I'm not afraid that you won't come out. By then..."

Guan Sheng narrowed his eyes and flashed a trace of murderous intent.

No matter what Han Yi knew or speculated, he had to die.
