Chapter 948: Of Course It’s Not a Joke
Chapter 948: Of Course It’s Not a Joke
It’s not surprising for him to have such an idea; the mysteries of the Sealing and Breaking Sealing Technique are no less than those of the Alchemy Technique or Alchemy. Even many experts in the Sword Saint Realm may not be proficient, worried about affecting their Sword Dao Cultivation. Many are caught in bottlenecks after advancing to Sword Saint and begin researching the Sealing and Breaking Sealing Technique. Because of this, those proficient in the Sealing and Breaking Sealing Technique are usually experts above Sword Saint; below Sword Saint are almost none.For someone like Han Yan, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, having the strength of a Third Stage Sword Master is already uncommon, having the Mysterious Techniques to defeat Nian An Yao is even rarer, how could she possibly have the energy to study the Sealing and Breaking Sealing Technique.
So, when Han Yan spoke those words, he thought she was joking; how could it be possible?
However, as Han Yan’s arm lightly waved, a radiant light flashed, and a Light and Shadow Rune twinkled like stars, converging into a Seal pattern, Zhang Chihua knew Han Yan was not joking.
"How did you do it?" Zhang Chihua gaped, unable to close his mouth for a long time, his mind repeatedly echoing the same question: How can this be possible?
"Just lucky, I guess." Han Yan said calmly.
In fact, she hadn’t expected to discover that Seal so easily. Although her Six Senses are several times stronger than the average Sword Saint, finding this Seal was still not easy, yet she managed to do it, feeling like she already knew of its existence.
How could this be? Han Yan was bewildered and could only attribute it to luck.
On the side, Ye Lanfeng seemed pensive, luck? How could anyone have such good luck; even he had expended a lot of effort to barely discover this Seal, yet Han Yan found it simultaneously with him.
To Han Yan, Ye Lanfeng was feeling increasingly mystified, but oddly, there was a peculiar familiarity among this mystery, growing ever stronger. He didn’t understand why.
...
"How could it be, this Han Yan’s luck is truly unbelievable." In the distance, the Fifth Prince and others also gaped, only closing their mouths after a long pause, expressing their frustration and dejection.
Flying Peak has stood for hundreds of thousands of years, without anyone discovering the existence of this Seal, let alone knowing it is the legendary Aolai Peak. Looking at the sweat on Zhang Chihua’s face, they could imagine how difficult finding this Seal must be. In fact, they had been here three days ago, Nian An Yao also spent a lot of effort, without any findings.
Nian An Yao’s enticement to the Fifth Prince to target the Fang Family’s industry, planning to spend months preparing, was a significant reason. They expected Han Yan to exhaust several days and nights, nearly dead before finding this Seal, but she discovered it so quickly.
Originally, he was acting like a mantis stalking a cicada, but it turned out he couldn’t even be the oriole behind. If they charged forward, they wouldn’t achieve anything while Han Yan hadn’t even exerted effort.
"Han Yan’s luck has always been good; I’ve heard about it in Nanxi County, so your Highness shouldn’t dwell on it too much." Qu Fengting, also feeling downcast, tried to comfort the Fifth Prince.
"Indeed, even if she’s lucky to find the Seal, it doesn’t mean she can break it with luck. I want to see what other methods she has?" Yao An Yao echoed, sounding like sour grapes.
"Master Nian makes sense. Although Han Yan is lucky to easily find this Seal, breaking it can tire her. We still have plenty of opportunities." Qu Fengting timely agreed.
The Fifth Prince was indeed considering retreating, feeling overwhelmed, but hearing the two of them reinforced his resolve.
Actually, Han Yan easily finding the Seal doesn’t have to be bad; if it’s too difficult, he might give up early, knowing the challenge. Now, let her enjoy a little moment of glory, and when she exhausts herself breaking the Seal, it’ll turn advantageous for them.
"Yes, after she breaks the Seal and is exhausted, we can act." The Fifth Prince feigned wisdom.
Under the cliff, Han Yan and Ye Lanfeng, among others, intently focused on the Seal.
This Seal is highly complex and intricate, a hundred times more mysterious than the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pond’s Seal. After observing briefly, Han Yan was feeling dizzy, needless to say for Huayue and others.
"It seems opening this Seal is quite challenging," Han Yan shook her head to clear her mind, speaking to Ye Lanfeng with concern.
"It’s challenging, but if others can do it, so can we." Ye Lanfeng answered calmly.
"Others?" Han Yan and the group looked at Ye Lanfeng in surprise.
Although Zhang Chihua had entered Ancient Relics before, Ye Lanfeng wasn’t referring to him, for he himself called it a coincidence, without finding this Seal.
"That’s right; someone opened this Seal not long ago, and the changes in the Heaven and Earth Power in the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pond are related to them.
Judging by the surroundings, the Heaven and Earth Power should have restored, but as long as that person remains in the relics, accidents could still occur," Ye Lanfeng said with a stern expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chihua, Huayue, and others’ faces slightly changed.
Han Yan too felt a sense of urgency; the force the Fifth Prince and others apparently possess doesn’t have such power, or why would they aim for the Fang Family industry? An ability to enter relics silently, without forcibly breaking the Seal, suggests immense strength.
The Heaven and Earth Power in Divine Continent may have restored now, but nobody knows when it might become erratic again. Her Cold Sky Sword and even the entire Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pond could face destruction. They can’t rely on Ye Lanfeng’s sealing forever, especially as it has its limits.
"No need to worry about their power, as long as I’m here, even if things go wrong, they can’t harm you. But the Seal is too mysterious, even with my intervention, it might take several days to break, and the Seal I placed at Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pond won’t last that long. If changes occur, the sword might be lost." Ye Lanfeng continued.
Han Yan realized that Ye Lanfeng was genuinely concerned about her Cold Sky Sword.
"No need to mull over it, let’s open the Seal first," Han Yan said.
To everyone’s surprise, things had changed so much; worrying outside the relics was futile. Rather than wasting time, opening the Seal sooner was the most sensible option.
