Chapter 353: The Han Family of Tianbei City!
Moreover, with the intelligence provided by this branch of the Soul Hall, it would be difficult for the protectors coming from other branches in Central State to escape Gu He’s notice.
"Alright, go and summon the two most powerful protectors currently stationed in this branch. Then, find some excuse to announce that ‘Protector Yun’ is dead!"
Upon hearing Gu He’s instructions, Yeming quickly returned to Burial Soul Ridge and brought the people back to Gu He.
In the hands of Gu He and Yeming, the two Soul Hall protectors, who only had mid-level Dou Zong strength, had no power to resist. Gu He effortlessly implanted a puppet seed in their souls.
After finishing this, Gu He didn’t linger. He found a secluded place and entered seclusion directly. Currently, his clone was only at the Four-Star Dou Venerate level, but because his main body had already reached the peak of Five-Star Dou Venerate, it wouldn’t take long for his clone to reach that level as well.
...
Meanwhile, far away from the Black-Corner Domain, in the northern region of Central State, several dozen miles outside of Tianbei City, a large purple bird with a wingspan of three meters appeared in the sky.
On the back of the purple bird stood a tall young woman with snow-white skin and long silver hair. Beside her was a little girl in white robes, only reaching the woman’s waist.
These two were Han Yue and Zi Yan, who had been sent on a training journey by Gu He.
The purple bird they were riding on was the Purple Demon Vulture, hatched from a ninth-tier magical beast egg Gu He had gifted to Han Yue.
Not long ago, the Great Elder Su Qian had arranged for the academy’s elders to use griffins to send Han Yue and Zi Yan to the nearest space wormhole outside the Black-Corner Domain. After the two of them crossed the wormhole and arrived in Central State, the Purple Demon Vulture had hatched.
As soon as it hatched, the creature possessed the strength of a peak fifth-tier magical beast. Its body grew to a size of three meters, and its flight speed surpassed many sixth-tier magical beasts.
Afterward, Han Yue invited Zi Yan to visit her home for a while. Without hesitation, Zi Yan agreed to Han Yue’s proposal.
On the back of the Purple Demon Vulture, Han Yue pointed excitedly at the towering city walls in the distance and said to Zi Yan, "Senior sister, ahead is Tianshui City. We’ll be home soon!"
"Mm, junior sister, the main reason for this visit is to remember the location of your home. I won’t be able to stay long, but I’ll come find you again after I’ve completed my mission."
Hearing Han Yue’s words, Zi Yan nodded seriously, then spoke in a surprisingly mature tone, despite her youthful voice.
...
Han Yue had originally planned to study at the Jia Nan Academy for at least five years, but now she was returning two years earlier than expected.
During her time away, Han Yue often thought about certain people back home.
"My little sister must have grown a lot taller by now!"
A small figure, much like Zi Yan, appeared in her mind, and Han Yue couldn’t help but smile softly.
"What kind of magical beast is that? I’ve never seen one before!"
"And there are two people on its back!"
Before long, the Purple Demon Vulture flew within a thousand meters of the massive city walls. Some of the guards stationed there noticed the large creature and began to grow wary of its approach.
As the Purple Demon Vulture approached the soldiers, they finally got a clear look at the two women on its back. On the city wall, a middle-aged man with the strength of a Dou Spirit fixed his gaze on the tall woman, his mind racing.
At this moment, seeing that the Purple Demon Vulture had no intention of stopping, a group of soldiers drew their weapons and shouted loudly at the two in the sky, "You two! According to the rules of Tianshui City, large flying magical beasts are strictly prohibited from entering the city!"
However, the two women on the Purple Demon Vulture acted as though they hadn't heard anything and flew directly over the city walls into the city.
"You dare to ignore the city’s regulations? Just wait until I—"
Before the squad leader could finish his warning, the middle-aged man interrupted him.
"Shut up!"
"That was the eldest daughter of the Han family! If you dare to stop someone from the Han family, you must have a death wish," the middle-aged man reprimanded in a low voice.
"The eldest daughter of the Han family? Didn’t she leave for Jia Nan Academy? Why is she back so soon?" the squad leader asked suspiciously, his eyes narrowing at the mention of the Han family.
"Who knows... but judging by the aura of that purple bird, it's at least a fifth-tier magical beast. The eldest daughter of the Han family must have made significant progress in her strength," the middle-aged man responded quietly, watching the retreating purple figure with a meaningful expression.
...
Tianbei City was vast, even larger than the capital of the Jia Ma Empire. The entire city exuded a sense of grandeur, with wide streets teeming with people, revealing the city’s flourishing prosperity.
The Han family was located in the southern part of Tianbei City, while their rival, the Hong family, occupied the north. These two families were like the rulers of the city, dividing it into two distinct halves. Of course, there were also some smaller factions in the city, but compared to the Han and Hong families, they were insignificant, merely surviving in the gaps between the two giants.
At that moment, even though the Purple Demon Vulture was flying high above Tianshui City, it still attracted a lot of attention.
Under the astonished gazes of many in the city, the Purple Demon Vulture suddenly came to a stop.
Directly below was an expansive estate located in the southern part of the city.
"How dare you intrude on Han family territory like this!"
Just as the Purple Demon Vulture began descending toward the estate, an angry shout rang out from within. Several powerful auras quickly rushed out, heading straight for the Purple Demon Vulture.
Their sudden movements immediately attracted the attention of others in the estate, who all looked up curiously at the sky.
In just a short moment, those who had rushed out appeared in front of the Purple Demon Vulture.
On the vulture's back, Han Yue looked at the group approaching rapidly and focused on a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes. Her face lit up with a bright smile as she called out excitedly, "Father, I’m back!"
The middle-aged man in the embroidered robe, who had been the first to rush forward, saw Han Yue’s face clearly, and his eyes immediately filled with excitement.
"Yue'er! Weren’t you at Jia Nan Academy? Why have you returned so suddenly? And... your strength, how could it have…"
Sensing the aura emanating from Han Yue, the middle-aged man’s expression shifted from surprise to overwhelming joy.
