Chapter 5: Elder Han
The rolling plains stretched out into the distance, vibrant green tall grass susurrating under the presence of a strong gust of wind. Only two men remained standing on a patch of blackened, scorched earth, the grass long having vaporized under the fury of heavenly lightning— Elder Han and Yao Shen.
“P-Patriarch... no, Grand Patriarch, was there really such an agreement between our sects?” The aged man’s expression was one of disbelief, his azure robes bearing the insignia of the Heavenly Sky Sect, etched with threads derived from a golden silkworm that indicated his status as an Elder.
Yao Shen focused his divine sense, envisioning a dome that encompassed both him and Elder Han before projecting it. His newly acquired Soul Emperor level Divine Sense would ensure that the contents of the conversation would remain privy to only them, and any interference or encroachment would be detected well in advanced.
“Of course not, Elder Han,” Yao Shen replied with a light laugh, amusement sparkling in his eyes. ‘I am sure Zhou Hui would be devastated when he receives knowledge of my unexpected success, that I, Yao Shen, am unrivaled now in the Azlak Plains,” he added, with a boisterous laugh, for even he himself was not at all certain of success, knowing the heavenly retribution his human dao domain would summon would be ferocious beyond belief.
“Grand Patriarch...,” Elder Han tried to interject, but Yao Shen cut him off. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Elder Han remained silent, a bead of sweat pouring down from his forehead. While he did not belong to one of the legacy families, he was greatly indebted to the ‘Zhu’ family for providing him with assistance early on in his cultivation.
“But all that is in the past, Elder Han,” Yao Shen smiled, patting Elder Han’s shoulder lightly. “As the first Soul Emperor born in the Azlak Plains since the Era of Turmoil, I am not lacking in determination, ingenuity, and now... I can truly say that my talent eclipses Zhou Hui, that no cultivator born in the Azlak Plains can even begin to compare. Are you not curious, Elder Han, to what heights such a leader may take you to?”
“Grand Patriarch.... What was that mystical Dao you used to subdue heavenly lightning? I do not know the significance of the red lightning, but I could sense that my soul would not be able to bear even a sliver of that horrifying energy,” Elder Han finally asked the questions that had been plaguing him since Yao Shen ascended. Had he truly concealed himself so deeply? But why? And now that they had the power to devastate the Sacred Flame Palace and the Divine Mountain Sect, why did he instead invite them to a new sect as if past transgressions were forgotten? He, more than anyone else, understood Patriarch Yao’s ability to hold a grudge in his heart, and he had levelled a small subordinate sect for far more trivial reasons than the offenses of the Sacred Flame Palace and the Divine Mountain Sect.
Of course, the disciples had been off-limits, they were not a demonic sect, but even then.... Was this really the Yao Shen he knew, or had he been possessed by a demon!?
“I am sure you already have your conjectures, Elder Han. Peer through the sect records you shall have your answer. Now let us head back to the sect, I am sure the Council will be awaiting our presence. This is one meeting you do not want to miss, Elder Han.”
