Chapter 749 less talking, more getting beaten up
What irked him the most was that the other person, possessing such Star Divination Skill, could have followed the Star Divination Master’s etiquette and discreetly informed him. He would have been grateful afterward, but instead, they choose to disgrace him in public. Ultimately, it was clear he was being openly antagonized.But what he didn’t know was that Mu Hanyan was not a Star Divination Master at all and knew nothing about the rules of Star Divination Masters. As for the Star Illusion Thousand Machine, it might have been some ancient being from thousands of years ago, utterly ignorant of any so-called rules of Star Divination Masters.
"Good, good, the lesson is well received. I, Ji Gaoxian, have been taught. May I dare to ask the esteemed master his venerable name? I’d like to seek more instruction from you in the future," Ji Gaoxian admitted, recognizing his own lack of skill, even if it meant swallowing his pride. However, he still resented Mu Hanyan for deliberately crossing him and not following the norms.
"Mu Hanyan," Mu Hanyan said lightly. She didn’t wish to make enemies upon her arrival in the Capital, but given the circumstances, she wasn’t about to flee.
"Mu Hanyan..." Ji Gaoxian found the name somewhat familiar and pondered upon it.
"Mu Hanyan, are you the Mu Hanyan from Heishi City?" Before he could remember, someone nearby exclaimed in surprise.
"You mean the Mu Hanyan from the Mu Family branch in Heishi City!" someone else realized abruptly and chimed in.
"What are you talking about?" someone else asked, confused.
"That’s the Mu Hanyan from Heishi City, from the Mu Family branch, the one who realized the Divine Language," someone explained.
"What, he is the Divine Fortune Teller Mu Hanyan who realized the Divine Language Holy Word Technique!" Others finally understood, looking at Mu Hanyan with eyes filled with reverence.
Mu Hanyan hadn’t expected her reputation to be so renowned and to have even reached the Capital. Feeling the respectful gazes, Lady Mu, who considered herself detached and content in life, felt a little embarrassed, and perhaps a bit, well, self-satisfied. Humph, so what if I’m not a real god-man? I’m more like one than most.
"So it’s him, I’ve heard of him before. I’ve heard he was once the number one playboy and wastrel of Heishi City, known for tearing women’s clothes and was even called Mu Siyi, right?" someone said wide-eyed and gossiping emphatically.
"Uh..." Suddenly, the area fell silent, and everyone looked at him weirdly, then instinctively stepped back two paces as if not wanting to associate with him.
"I... I... I didn’t mean to," the man stammered, his face falling in fear.
Mu Hanyan felt all her previous pride vanish in an instant.
It turned out that not only her reputation as a Divine Fortune Teller but also her notoriety as a playboy had spread to the Capital. If it were just the playboy reputation, likely, no one would’ve minded—after all, this was the Capital, and a newly arrived prodigal from Heishi City should keep a low profile. But coupled with the name of a Divine Fortune Teller, it became a significant sensation, even making the citizens of the Capital wary.
"So it was you, it was indeed you!" Ji Gaoxian also remembered Mu Hanyan, grinding his teeth in further resentment.
With such Star Divination Skill, gaining fame and fortune would have been easy, so why undermine my position? Why try to get famous by stepping on me? Is it really necessary?
"It’s him, it’s really him." Just then, an agitated shout rang from outside the crowd.
Mu Hanyan turned to see a group of men approaching aggressively, led by a man whose face bore bruises and eyes were bloodshot, his gaze filled with hatred toward Mu Hanyan and her companions.
Rong Tianhai, though unrecognizable, was still immediately recognized by Han Yan as the very person who was brutally beaten by them in Fang Village just the day before.
Seeing their furious demeanor, it seemed they were likely headed to Fang Village to seek revenge, but they unexpectedly encountered each other first in the Capital.
"Young Master, on behalf of the Fang Family, it was they who injured our brothers," Rong Tianhai pointed at Han Yan and said to a young man dressed in luxurious brocade clothes beside him.
"So, it’s them. They even dared to come to the Capital; now, we needn’t make an extra trip. Attack, break all their meridians, abolish their cultivation, and throw them out of the city to feed the dogs," the young man ordered directly without even wasting another word on Han Yan.
"Kill!" As soon as his words fell, more than a dozen guards clad in swordsman attire drew their longswords and charged aggressively.
The lethal intent in their swords suggested more than just breaking meridians and ruining cultivation; should anyone dare to resist, they would undoubtedly kill them in the street without hesitation.
The young man himself was vehemently in the lead, aiming a sword thrust directly at Han Yan’s vital Dantian point, fully demonstrating the prowess of a Great Swordsman.
"No!" Zhang Chihua cried out in alarm as he saw who it was.
Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention, and his alarmed cry was quickly drowned out amid the surrounding shouts and killings.
"What viciousness!" Seeing the leading young man’s thrust, anger surged within Han Yan.
Aside from the Mu Family, Yan Family, and other secret techniques, the vast majority of Cultivation Methods on the Holy Court Continent relied on the Qi Sea of the Dantian as the foundation. Destroying the Dantian meant complete ruining of cultivation.
This young man in front of her, without asking for reasons and even refusing to speak another word, aimed straight for her vital point, seeking to destroy her cultivation—his arrogance and ruthlessness were extreme.
Faced with such an opponent, Han Yan was certainly not going to be lenient. She swiftly stepped aside and sent out a palm strike.
"Slap," a crisp slap landed on the young man’s face, sending him flying out.
Collapsed onto the ground, he spat out several teeth and rolled his eyes back, fainting from Han Yan’s powerful slap.
Luckily, Han Yan remembered that this was the Capital and she was new here, having not yet visited the Mu Family. Even though she secretly resented his cruelty, she hadn’t struck too harshly to completely destroy his cultivation.
Beside her, Huayue and a few others also engaged with the guards.
This time, Rong Tianhai and the young man had brought even stronger guards: two were Great Swordsmen, and the rest were all high-level Ninth Rank Swordsmen. Unfortunately, they not only faced Huayue and the others but also Ye Lanfeng.
No one even saw how he made his move, or even if he had at all.
Amongst grunts, those dozen or so guards were violently launched away, following which, Huayue and the others pressed forward.
These people had attacked as soon as they arrived, leaving no room for negotiation, and were fiercely aggressive. If not for Han Yan being at the level of a Sword Master, and having Ye Lanfeng with them, they would likely be in a dire situation, with abolishing their cultivation being a mild outcome.

Therefore, Huayue and the others were not going to show any mercy.
