Chapter 93: The Rise of the Demonic Name

Han Li looked up, gazing out at the crowd. Members of the Seven Mysteries Sect, the Savage Wolf Gang, and other factions all looked deathly pale, their eyes filled with dread as they stared at him.

Whether it was retrieving the "flying sword," killing Master Golden Light, or instantly reducing dozens of experts, including Jia Tianlong, to ashes, these actions clearly showed that Han Li was not only a high-level immortal, much like the dwarf, but also a ruthless individual, devoid of kindness or benevolence.

Therefore, wherever his gaze fell, everyone lowered their heads to avoid it; no one dared to meet his eyes. At that moment, Han Li was truly feared by all.

"Aren't you leaving? Do you still want to stay on this mountain and have me send you on your way?" Han Li suddenly said, his voice cold, directed towards the Savage Wolf Gang.

His voice was not particularly loud, yet to the thousands of people on the mountain, it struck like a clap of thunder on a clear day, immediately throwing them into a panic.

"Run! If we don't leave now, he might start burning people again!" Someone, it was unclear who, was the first to shout.

Instantly, members of the Savage Wolf Gang and other smaller factions erupted into chaos. They all scrambled down the mountain, rushing to get ahead of each other. The dense crowd jammed the small path leading down the mountain, making it impassable, and along the way, countless people were trampled to death or injured.

A moment later, Sunset Peak became empty; no gang members remained, only disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Wang Juechu was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected his sect's crisis to be resolved so easily, with Jia Tianlong utterly destroyed. Besides being overjoyed, this turn of events also left him feeling a bit unsettled.

He knew that since the other party could effortlessly help the Seven Mysteries Sect overcome this calamity, they could also easily suppress the sect with their divine techniques, perhaps even putting the Seven Mysteries Sect in a worse position than the Savage Wolf Gang was currently in.

As Master Wang considered this, his heart, which had just settled, rose again, and his gaze involuntarily turned towards the center of the field.

"Huh! Where's Divine Doctor Han?" Master Wang exclaimed, greatly astonished by what he saw!

Han Li, the master figure and unpredictable factor in his mind, was no longer in his original spot.

"Has anyone seen Doctor Han?" Wang Juechu hastily asked those around him.

"I don't know!"

"Didn't notice."

Almost everyone shook their heads, unaware. This was understandable; everyone else had been stunned by Han Li's method of burning people alive. Who would dare to stare fixedly at such an ominous figure? Furthermore, with his elusive movement techniques, it would be an easy matter for him to disappear if he wished.

"Don't bother looking," the gray-robed man, whose complexion had improved significantly, suddenly spoke. "I saw him just now, blending in with the crowd descending the mountain; he has already left Sunset Peak."

"He went down the mountain? Where would he go?" Master Wang let out a complex, bitter smile and muttered to himself.

As he looked around, his gaze unexpectedly fell upon someone.

Wang Juechu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a shrewd, cunning expression.

At this moment, Li Feiyu, who was extremely excited because his friend had suddenly become an otherworldly master, was talking about it with Zhang Xiuer, completely unaware that someone had set their sights on him.

Thus, members of the Savage Wolf Gang and other factions swiftly retreated from Mount Caixia and, without stopping, fled overnight out of the Seven Mysteries Sect's territory. Meanwhile, the high-ranking members of the Seven Mysteries Sect, led by Wang Juechu, having suffered significant losses themselves, did not send anyone to pursue them.

For a long time to come, both the Savage Wolf Gang and the Seven Mysteries Sect ceased hostilities and focused on recovery.

This multi-faceted battle between the Seven Mysteries Sect and the Savage Wolf Gang soon spread across thousands of miles of land, becoming a local legend tinged with elements of immortals and demons. It was not only discussed by people from both the righteous and unrighteous factions, but even ordinary people talked about it with great relish, recounting it as a story that endured for a long time.

In the story, the battle initially involved a duel between an unparalleled swordsman capable of emitting sword light and a sword immortal who could control flying swords. The sword immortal's flying sword proved unfathomably miraculous, superior to the swordsman's sword light, leading to the grand defeat of the unparalleled swordsman and the immortal's victory. At this point, the great villain, the Fire Demon, suddenly appeared. He not only took advantage of both parties' weakened states to kill the sword immortal who was attempting to eliminate demons, but also, in a burst of demonic power, incinerated nearly a thousand gang members present, among whom was the unfortunate leader of the Savage Wolf Gang. Finally, due to his excessive killing spree, the Fire Demon incurred divine wrath and was struck dead on the spot by celestial lightning from the heavens, leaving no trace of his body.

When Han Li, at his residence in Divine Hand Valley, heard from Li Feiyu this rumor of himself being completely demonized, he stood stunned and speechless for a long time. Meanwhile, Li Feiyu was already laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up for a long time.

It was now noon on the fifth day after the death match.

That night, Han Li, taking advantage of the chaos, quietly blended with the crowd and descended Sunset Peak. After finding Qu Hun, he returned to the valley with him.

As soon as Han Li returned, he put up a sign at the valley entrance indicating he was closed to visitors and unwilling to see anyone. This kept several high-ranking Seven Mysteries Sect members, who had rushed there overnight to pay their respects, outside the valley.

Of course, given Han Li's current prestige, these individuals dared not show any displeasure, nor did they dare to enter the valley without permission. They could only wait for a while before sheepishly returning the way they came.

In the following days, Han Li used the talisman with a small sword drawn on it to begin practicing the Object Manipulation technique.

Knowing he didn't have much time left, Han Li spent these days practicing diligently. Every day before dawn, he would use the "Object Manipulation technique" to transform the talisman into a streak of gray light, making it continuously circle and fly within the valley until his spiritual power was completely exhausted. He would then quietly close his eyes and regulate his breathing, allowing his spiritual power to slowly recover. Once his spiritual power returned to normal, Han Li would activate the talisman again and continue practicing.

In this way, Han Li continuously repeated his practice. This dull and monotonous training continued for three days, until he felt he had initially grasped the practical essentials of the "Object Manipulation technique," at which point he formally concluded his training.
