Chapter 426: Chapter 230: She Gave Too Much_2

Translator: 549690339 I

Over the years, Han Yi had killed countless cultivators and searched through their corpse, only managing to gather four thousand top-grade spirit stones after killing Huang Yu. Yet this time, he received a whole ten thousand spirit stones in his Qiankun Ring.

If it were another cultivator, they might be tempted to accept it right away. However, Han Yi was more cautious. With greater rewards also came bigger troubles.

He knew very well that money from an unknown source, especially when it was handed to him, wasn’t that easy to take.

“Sir, as a Golden Core cultivator of the Profound Immortal Pavilion, I offer you ten thousand spirit stones to protect me for a month.”

“Wait, don’t think about refusing right away.”

“If you encounter danger, we can add more money for your help. If the danger is too great, you can leave and our Yu family will have no complaints.”

“We will be bound by an Immortal Path oath. Is that acceptable?”

Han Yi raised his eyebrows. This beautiful woman with a capable look was only at the Foundation Building late stage. However, she had a strong conviction. “A month, ten thousand?” Han Yi confirmed once more.

Yu Xi nodded, “Yes, one month, ten thousand. If I still need your service after a month, I will give you another ten thousand in advance.”

Han Yi fell silent.

Honestly, he was tempted.

One month, ten thousand spirit stones – that could make his head spin. However, he wasn’t a man blinded by money.

In the Profound Immortal Pavilion at Tian Nan Immortal City, Liu Ruyan had told Han Yi about the Yu family’s status as a Golden Core family within the Daqian Immortal Country.

However, the Yu family had faced a crisis recently, facing setbacks everywhere. According to information, another Golden Core family, the Zhang family, was targeting them. Forced to find a solution, they had sought cooperation and a chance to break the deadlock in Daqian.

The conflict between the two Golden Core sects didn’t involve any Nascent Soul Sects, which was one of the reasons why Liu Ruyan dared to accept the deal and request for help from her sect.

There would certainly be risks, especially given that the other side had their own Gold Core cultivators. However, the risks were manageable since there were no Nascent Soul masters involved.

Moreover, the price they were offering was simply too high. This deal needed to be attempted no matter what.

“The Zhang family?” Han Yi suddenly mentioned.

As soon as the two words left his mouth, Han Yi’s face revealed a bit of fierceness, which made Yu Xi tremble slightly. However, she couldn’t hide her excitement.

The stronger the person, the more secure her protection would be.

Yu Xi nodded and spoke the truth, “Yes.”

“Are there any Nascent Soul masters?” Han Yi asked again for confirmation. Without any hesitation, Yu Xi shook her head, “How could there be? A Nascent Soul master is an earth-shaking existence. If the Zhang family had a Nascent Soul master, we would have surrendered long ago and not be struggling.” “To be frank.”

“The Zhang family is indeed a Golden Core family, and on top of that, the current family head’s youngest son has joined the Jiuding Sect and has become one of its true disciples.”

“The Zhang family is relentlessly pressuring our Yu family because they want to see us completely bankrupt and fulfill their wish of annexing our family.” Yu Xi’s face twisted with anger, and her fury was evident in her gaze.

“The Zhang family, the Jiuding Sect, true disciple, annexation?”

“How strong is the Zhang family? And what about the cultivator who has joined the Jiuding Sect and become a true disciple?”

Han Yi needed to evaluate the situation first.

Over the past seven years, his cultivation base had advanced, covering half the Early-stage of Gold Core. Along with the progression in his Sword Control Skill, he faced little pressure when facing Middle Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Even if it was Wu Gang from Yujing Mountain whom he had encountered at Yuan Lao Mountain, Han Yi was confident that he could defeat him.

In fact, he was confident that he could face ordinary Late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

As his power grew, so did his confidence. Han Yi believed that as long as he avoided Late-stage Golden Core cultivators who were on the Master List, he wouldn’t lose or wouldn’t be unable to escape.

“The Zhang family head, Zhang Hai, entered the Late-stage Golden Core seven years ago.”

“Apart from Zhang Hai, there are four other Golden Core cultivators in the Zhang family. Two of them are from Zhang Hai’s generation, Zhang Jin, and Zhang Ling. One is from the previous generation, Zhang Ruyi, and the last one belongs to Zhang Hai’s younger generation, Zhang Gui.”

“As for the Zhang family member who joined the Jiuding Sect and became a true disciple, his name is Zhang Tu.”

When mentioning the words ‘Zhang Tu,’ Yu Xi’s expression was full of hatred.

“Aside from Zhang Gui, who is an Early-stage Golden Core cultivator, Zhang Jin, Zhang Ling, Zhang Ruyi, and Zhang Tu, who joined the Jiuding Sect, are all Middle-stage Golden Core cultivators.”

“Moreover.”

Yu Xi paused for a moment.

“Moreover, Zhang Tu has followers – the Tuoba brothers. They are four Golden Core cultivators, among whom Tuoba Tu has reached the Late-stage of Golden Core. The other three, Tuoba Li is at the Middle-stage, while Tuoba An and Tuoba Di possess the strength of the Early-stage Golden Core.”

Han Yi nodded, having learned about the enemy’s strength. Now he wanted to know about the Yu family’s strength.

However, after listening to Yu Xi, Han Yi’s eyebrows knitted together even more.

There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, which was why the Yu family was being so ruthlessly suppressed.

Compared to Zhang family’s ten Golden Core cultivators, the Yu family had only four.

Among them, the Yu family head, Yu Anping, was at Late-stage Golden Core. Yet not long ago, while he was outside, he had been severely injured by a mysterious cultivator.

The other three Golden Core cultivators were Yu Xi’s second uncle, another uncle, and a family elder. All three of them were at the Early-stage Golden Core, which was far from enough to face the Zhang family..
