Chapter 900: Chapter 381: Half-immortal’s Strike, The Dramas of Taiqiu_3
“Eh, he managed to block the strike from a half-immortal weapon. The protective divine light of this nascent soul cultivator is unusual, even I can’t see it through. Strange…strange… It could be a solidified immortal technique left on him by a Profound Immortal.”
“So, it’s two cultivators from that ancient immortal court in the north. Interesting, blatantly rivaling each other.”
This elderly being was a True Immortal who was hiding here. He had offended the Lingxiao Immortal Court and escaped from Western Daluo to the central region, hiding in Taiqiu Immortal Lake.
The initial look he cast upon Han Yi and Dai Zhe shone with an uncertain light.
In his eyes, although the escaping nascent soul was weak, he held secrets. Furthermore, the half-immortal had a peculiar mind. He contemplated secretly capturing the two. Their resources would then naturally become his own.
However, before he could make up his mind…
At the edge of Taiqiu Immortal Lake, changes were afoot again. Han Yi made testament to their identities. After learning of these developments, the elder had a moment of hesitation before shaking his head.
“Forget it, if I make a move, I would surely offend a second immortal court. Then there would be no place in the entire Immortal Realm for me to take refuge. It was not easy to find this hidden place. If I expose it, the loss would outweigh the gain.”
The elderly withdrew his gaze and ceased to pay attention.
Just like this elder, there were several other True Immortals in Taiqiu Immortal Lake. But when Han Yi revealed his identity and the half-immortal Dai Zhe turned to leave, they all withdrew their attention and stopped caring.
As for the hidden half-immortals within the lake, their reactions were quite the opposite. Upon learning that Dai Zhe was a half-immortal from the Age Candle Immortal Court, they were even more intrigued.
This was a severely injured half-immortal. If they could capture and plunder his luck, their journey as half-immortals could potentially progress further and they would grow confident in surviving the Immortal Tribulation, advancing to the next level.
Among them, some half-immortals had offended a True Immortal in the outside world. If they had a chance to ascend to immortality, even if it was just an iota of chance, it would be enough to spur them into action.

So, when Dai Zhe regained his consciousness and turned to leave, seven half-immortals secretly followed in his tracks.
And beneath the half-immortals, there were more than twenty Spirit Transformation cultivators tracing the direction in which Han Yi had escaped.
Although Han Yi was a cultivator of the Age Candle Immortal Court, he was only at the early stage of Spirit Transformation Level. Even though he was extremely fast, his combat prowess was definitely affected by the blow from the half-immortal.
The gray-white protective radiance that blocked the strike of the half-immortal tool was likely a solidified immortal technique left on him by a half-immortal or immortal.
The most likely scenario is the Zheng Yang Half-Immortal of Lawful Immortal Palace from the Age Candle Immortal Mansion, who Han Yi mentioned had an inextricable bond with him.
Moreover, such immortal techniques are usually one-time-use only.
As long as they kill Han Yi, they would be able to change locations in this vast and endless Immortal Realm. Even the Lawful Immortal Palace would find it difficult to hunt them down.
The loose cultivators that could live in this place might not have great strength, but they were extraordinarily daring. They did not mind playing the role of robbing cultivators for a while. There had been several precedents of this role change in the past.
However, this time, their efforts were bound to be futile.
An hour later…
In a mountain forest shaded from the sun near the Taiqiu Immortal Lake…
A short and plump middle-aged cultivator retracted his green-black long sword, flew upwards, and glanced at the several corpses in the forest below with a slightly grim expression.
“I must have some kind of tracking magic technique on me. That’s why Dai Zhe has been able to find my location again and again.”
“These are troublesome.”
“Half-immortal, half-immortal. The gap is indeed too large.”
Of course, the short and plump middle-aged man was Han Yi, who had encountered an ambush not long after he had fled. The attacker was a cultivator at the peak of Spirit Transformation.
Han Yi initially wanted to shake him off, but their speeds matched. Fearing unexpected complications if he continued to be pursued, he decided to go all out in an attempt to end the fight in the shortest time.
However, the peak Spirit Transformation cultivator also had extraordinary methods. Although he was no match for Han Yi, he managed to escape with his life by sacrificing an arm.
Subsequently, Han Yi was ambushed again by three cultivators in the latter phase of Spirit Transformation.
This time, these three were less fortunate and all fell by Han Yi’s hand, leaving their lifeless bodies behind in the shadow of the forest below.
Now, Han Yi had adopted the appearance and aura of one of the three men below.
“My only option now is to return to the Immortal Mansion, to make Dai Zhe hesitate.”
“However, even inside the Immortal Mansion, it is not absolutely safe.”
“In the end, it is still because my strength is not enough.”
As Han Yi’s thoughts were spinning in his mind, he rapidly moved in a certain direction.
He knew that since people were hunting him, those of corresponding levels were definitely pursuing the severely injured Dai Zhe.
He needed to take advantage of the time when Dai Zhe, crippled from his injuries, was being chased and had no time to concern himself with Han Yi, to quickly return to the Immortal Mansion and consider other countermeasures.
