Chapter 1529: So I Can Do Whatever I Want from Now On?
"We can’t just do nothing and let him bully us. Besides, these playboys are the most narrow-minded. If we don’t teach him a harsh lesson today, who knows how much trouble he’ll cause in the future." Han Yan completely regarded Jian Wuchen as an elder, and for once showed a bit of a little girl’s temperament in front of him."Alright, alright, no matter what you say, you’re always right. Fortunately, I’ve mostly recovered from my injuries, or if Ao Fangchen comes knocking, I’d like to see how you’d handle it." Jian Wuchen laughed heartily. He was never married, and naturally had no descendants, but being with Han Yan allowed him to enjoy a bit of familial bliss. Moreover, he had a master-disciple relationship with Han Yan’s grandmother, Luo Shuiyi, and treated Han Yan as if she were his great-granddaughter.
"Is that old man really powerful?" Han Yan asked curiously.
"He is the sole remaining elder among the seven elders of Divine Elder Peak, a master who made his name a thousand years ago. Do you think he’s powerful or not?" Jian Wuchen glared at her but then added, "But you don’t need to worry. Although Ao Fangchen is a bit arrogant, he is a reasonable person and shouldn’t trouble you. Besides, with me here, unless the Holy Master himself makes a move, no one else can harm you."
As his injuries gradually healed, the arrogance ingrained in Jian Wuchen’s bones returned, and when he said this, his words were filled with boundless pride.
"So, does this mean I can roam the Holy Court freely from now on?" Han Yan’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.
"Uh..." Jian Wuchen looked at Han Yan, unable to speak for a moment.
Zhuang Ping’an and the others were also speechless. Who said keeping a low profile was hard just now? Did she really intend to keep a low profile? They deeply doubted Han Yan’s previous words.
"By the way, I just received news that strange occurrences have been frequent at Beast Spirit Peak lately. The Beast Spirit Illusion Realm beneath the peak might open ahead of schedule. You all should go back and prepare well to head to the Beast Spirit Illusion Realm to tame a Sword Pet." Jian Wuchen said.
Upon hearing Jian Wuchen’s words, Han Yan and Huayue showed no significant reactions, but Zhuang Ping’an and the others were all excited.
Since ancient times, the Beast Spirit Illusion Realm has been the place for Holy Court disciples to tame Sword Pets. Because this realm is within the Holy Court, the Heaven and Earth Power is exceptionally abundant. Thus, the Exotic Beasts living there have purer bloodlines and stronger powers. Moreover, because the Beast Spirit Illusion Realm is isolated from the world, these Exotic Beasts hardly conflict with human cultivators, making their temperaments much gentler than their kin in the Longyan Mountain Range. Adding in the secret Beast Taming Technique passed down by the Holy Court, taming Sword Pets becomes much easier.
However, the Beast Spirit Illusion Realm only opens once every thousand years, so many Holy Court disciples never get this chance. They were quite lucky, having just joined the Holy Court but already encountering such a fortunate event.
Not everyone had the good fortune of people like Huayue and Zirong, who could easily tame a Sword Pet by following Mu Hanyan. Though Zhuang Ping’an and others also had notable backgrounds, they had not yet obtained a Sword Pet, so the opening of the Beast Spirit Illusion Realm was naturally a heaven-sent opportunity for them.
Once back at Holy Sword Peak, Zhuang Ping’an and the others temporarily stopped their cultivation and focused on studying the Beast Taming Technique. Holy Sword Peak has been the site for the Holy Master to cultivate before succeeding as master, naturally rich with various secret books and notes, including the Beast Taming Technique.

"Master, this time you must stand up for me..." Han Yutang cried out miserably on Divine Elder Peak.
Although he had taken an Elixir, his injuries were quite severe. Even now, blood occasionally seeped from the corners of his mouth, and the arm that had its bones broken into several pieces was hung on his neck with a cloth strip after being set.
"What happened to you this time?" Seeing the charred Han Yutang with his right arm hanging on his neck, Ao Fangchen was immediately at his wit’s end. Ever since he took this precious disciple, he hadn’t had a single day of peace.
"Mu Hanyan, Mu Hanyan, she..." The mention of Mu Hanyan filled Han Yutang with anger and hatred, making him unable to speak clearly.
"Why is it Mu Hanyan again? What on earth happened?" Ao Fangchen impatiently asked Han Minggao, who had accompanied Han Yutang back.
"Reporting to Martial Uncle, this time the distribution of Elixirs at Sacred Pill Peak was handled by our Divine Elder Peak. That Mu Hanyan was dissatisfied with the Elixirs, so she personally refined pills and made over a hundred top-grade good pills. That Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace didn’t encounter a single mishap. Out of curiosity, my junior brother went to investigate, but who knew Mu Hanyan had tampered with the Pill Furnace. As soon as my little Martial Uncle got close, the Pill Furnace exploded." Han Minggao considered carefully and said.
"Really?" Hearing that Mu Hanyan used the Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace to refine over a hundred Elixirs without a single mishap surprised Ao Fangchen.
"Yes, Master, Mu Hanyan was refining pills, and that’s fine, but she had to tamper with the Pill Furnace to harm me. I beg you to stand up for me." Han Yutang finally calmed down a bit and pleaded again.
"Minggao, go to Sacred Pill Peak and borrow that Pill Furnace. Let me see what method she used." Originally, Ao Fangchen didn’t think much of a junior like Mu Hanyan, but now he was curious.
"Alright." Han Minggao responded but did not move.
"Why haven’t you gone?" Ao Fangchen said unhappily.
"Well, that..." Han Minggao hesitated, glanced at Han Yutang, and finally said honestly, "Actually, it’s because my junior brother wanted to joke around with Mu Hanyan and set a prohibition within the Pill Furnace. However, somehow, Mu Hanyan saw through it but didn’t speak out, just made a slight change. Later, out of curiosity, my junior brother wanted to find out and accidentally triggered the prohibition, getting seriously injured by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder within the Pill Furnace."
"Nonsense, nonsense." Knowing the truth, Ao Fangchen was so angry he slapped Han Yutang on the head.
Frightened, Han Yutang’s legs gave way, making him fall to the ground, and he started spitting blood again.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Ao Fangchen couldn’t help but recall the tragic deaths of his grandfather and maternal grandfather, making this slap hard to deliver.
"Forget it, this time it’s your own doing, you can’t blame others. Take this Elixir to heal, and don’t cause any more trouble." Ao Fangchen sighed quietly, tossed a pill to Han Yutang, and turned towards the Back Peak.
However, before leaving, looking at Han Yutang’s injuries, he couldn’t help but softly grumble to himself: "Though it was his own fault, the method used was somewhat too harsh."
Frightened by Ao Fangchen, Han Yutang dared not mention revenge again and sat on the ground holding the Elixir, looking dejected.
"Yutang, Mu Hanyan is no simple person. In my opinion, you should not oppose her anymore. As you can see, our Martial Uncle seems quite dissatisfied with you. If this continues, it might not be well for you." Han Minggao advised earnestly.
"Oh." Han Yutang replied woodenly.
Having suffered twice at Mu Hanyan’s hands, he was genuinely a bit fearful of her now. Yet, Ao Fangchen not only refused to stand up for him but also seemed somewhat displeased with his actions, making him even more reluctant to continue.
"Not necessarily," came Wei Xiaotian’s voice from the door.
