Upon hearing this, Han Yi's heart sank, and anger rose within him. He cursed inwardly, "You, Su Yao, I kindly saved you from dire straits, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also want to pin the blame for this murder on me."
However, he remained expressionless, only slightly narrowing his eyes as he looked at Su Yao.
"Fairy Su, you can't speak carelessly. Old dog Zhao chased me here, and I was only trying to protect myself. If I didn't have some skills, I would have already become a dead man under his sword. What responsibility do I have?"
Su Yao was slightly taken aback by Han Yi's sudden tough attitude. She knew in her heart that there was some truth to what Han Yi said.
However, Zhao Wuji was an important figure in the Cultivation Alliance. He died in the Netherworld Forest. As the top disciple of the Tianyan Sect, she saw this but did nothing. Her prestige in the Tianyan Sect and even the entire Cultivation Alliance would be severely damaged. She could not sit idly by.
“Young Master Han, you keep saying you are protecting yourself, but how can you, one person, make a judgment on the rights and wrongs of this matter with just a few words? This matter concerns the reputation of our Cultivation Alliance and must be thoroughly investigated. Don’t try to evade your guilt by sophistry.”
Although her tone was slightly gentler than before, the determination in her words was like a sharp blade, piercing straight at Han Yi.
"Don't you want anything?"
Han Yi looked at Su Yao and spoke calmly, and Su Yao did not hesitate.
"Come with me to the Tianyan Sect to be investigated?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Upon hearing Su Yao's request, Han Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Fairy Su, are you joking? Asking me to go back to the Heavenly Evolution Sect with you for investigation is no different from a lamb entering a tiger's den. I, Han Yi, have survived countless life-or-death experiences in this Nether Abyss Forest. How could I possibly walk into a trap and hand my fate over to you?"
"Aren't you two going to make a move?"
Since Su Yao wanted to harm him, he couldn't let her leave the Netherworld Forest. He looked at the two Demon Kings, who immediately obeyed and headed straight for Su Yao.
"You guys have fun here! I'm not joining you!"
After saying that, Han Yi's figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the depths of the Netherworld Forest.
Now that Zhao Wuji's problem has been resolved, he needs to go back and reunite with Wang Weiwei and the others. He doesn't have time to continue getting entangled with this Fairy Su.
Seeing Han Yi trying to escape, Su Yao raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent, and with a wave of her Ice Soul Sword, she shouted coldly.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"
After dodging several of Aoki King's attacks, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, moving like a fairy on water, and tried to chase after Han Yi, but was blocked by the Demon Ape King's iron rod that was several meters long.
“Fairy Su, you can’t be so stupid as to not see his background, can you? He’s not someone the Heavenly Evolution Sect can afford to offend.”
Su Yao was even more furious at being blocked by the Demon Ape King. She glared at the Demon Ape King and warned him in a cold voice.
“Demon Ape King, don’t think you can protect him forever. No matter who he is, he must come back to the Heavenly Evolution Sect with me.”
Su Yao's voice echoed across the somewhat chaotic battlefield, carrying an undeniable authority.
The Demon Ape King merely chuckled, revealing his sharp teeth.
"Fairy Su, you'd better not act impulsively. Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. If you insist on doing it, it could bring great trouble to yourself and even the entire Tianyan Sect."
He gripped the iron rod tightly with both hands, holding it horizontally in front of Su Yao, his massive body resembling an insurmountable mountain.
"If justice is lost in the world, what is the point of our lives as cultivators? Are we merely to stand by and watch, allowing evil to run rampant and justice to go unpunished? Since we have embarked on the path of cultivation, we should take it upon ourselves to help the weak and punish the strong, and to uphold justice and righteousness. How can we shrink back because of fear of difficulties, or disregard justice for personal gain?"
"If I were to actually make a move, I'm afraid the fairy wouldn't be able to withstand it!"
The Demon Ape King was a little annoyed. If Su Yao insisted on chasing Han Yi again, he would really kill her. He pressed down with his big hand and sealed off the space where Su Yao was.
Su Yao's beautiful eyes widened, and her spiritual power surged, as if she wanted to break through the spatial constraints around her. She gritted her teeth.
“Today, even if it costs me my life, I will bring that person back to the Tianyan Sect. If he truly has a grievance, he can plead his case within the sect, and the Tianyan Sect will uphold justice. His hasty escape suggests he has something to hide.”
After saying that, the Ice Soul Sword in her hand shone brightly, and the runes on the sword flashed as if they had awakened intelligence. Powerful spiritual energy waves spread outwards from her as ripples, actually forcing back the powerful pressure of the Demon Ape King by a little.
Just as the Demon Ape King was about to unleash a deadly attack on Su Yao, a powerful voice resounded from beyond the nine heavens. The voice was like rolling thunder, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly. The Demon Ape King's movements froze instantly, and his surging spiritual power seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, unable to advance an inch.
In an instant, a dazzling light pierced the sky, like a brilliant ribbon shooting straight at Su Yao.
Within the light, it seemed as if a pair of giant hands, formed from pure energy, were tightly gripping Su Yao's slender body with overwhelming force.
Su Yao felt the light and shadows intertwining before her eyes, and the space where she stood instantly twisted and deformed. An overwhelming force bound her like shackles, making her unable to move, let alone use magic to break free.
Before she could recover from this sudden turn of events, she was thrown out of the Netherworld Forest like an arrow.
Su Yao was suspended in mid-air, her heart filled with a mixture of shame, indignation, and astonishment.
He struggled to circulate his spiritual energy, trying to break free from the binding force and stabilize his body.
But he was surprised to find that this force was like an impenetrable wall of copper and iron, indestructible.
Once things stabilized and I landed gracefully, I found myself in a somewhat desolate and barren place outside the Netherworld Forest.
Her pretty face was contorted with rage, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring intently into the depths of the Netherworld Forest, her silver teeth clenched, and she spoke with a voice full of hatred.
"Who on earth dares to humiliate me like this! If I don't avenge this, I, Su Yao, will be unworthy of being a cultivator!"
After speaking, the Ice Soul Sword in his hand trembled violently, and the sound of the sword resounded throughout the surrounding area. A chilling killing intent seemed to spread out between the flashes of its cold light.
At this moment, Han Yi was extremely anxious, wishing he could grow wings and instantly arrive at the location of Wang Weiwei and the others.
He unleashed his full spiritual power, his entire being piercing the sky above the Netherworld Forest like a streak of light.
Filled with worry and his thoughts in turmoil, the overwhelming power displayed by the Demon Ape King and his allies was like a heavy hammer blow, completely shattering his previous understanding of the Netherworld Forest. This place was far from what they had initially imagined; the hidden dangers and unknowns behind it were like a bottomless abyss, chilling to the bone.
With Wang Weiwei and the others' cultivation levels, without his protection, they would likely find it difficult to move forward in this forest, and a slight misstep could lead them into an abyss of no return.
