Lan Yan also knew that these people were likely found by Wang Yi.
However, this was just their guess, with no substantial evidence.
In fact, even if there was proof that Wang Yi had sold out his fellow disciples, they could not reveal it.
Wang Yi's father and grandfather were both high-ranking officials within the sect.
Exposing Wang Yi would be tantamount to making enemies of his grandfather and father.
"It might not necessarily be him. Speak with caution," Lan Yan said sternly.
Qin Han Chu waved his hand, and a golden needle flew towards Xue Ying's opponent.
As a strong expert at the War God level, his reaction speed was naturally very strong.
He turned and slashed with his saber, directly splitting the golden needle.
"I understand what you mean. Let's fight first!"
With that, Qin Han Chu charged towards Xue Ying's opponent.
With the re-entry of Qin Han Chu and Lan Yan, the Double Extreme Sect clearly gained the upper hand in combat power.
Seeing their side falling into a disadvantage, the robbers hurriedly led their men away.
Both sides suffered losses in this battle.
The Double Extreme Sect also lost three men.
The martial arts world was inherently a struggle for survival, and everyone was indifferent to the deaths of others.
As long as they were not facing death themselves, no one would feel too much sadness.
The corpses of the fallen were loaded into vehicles, and after returning to the sect, someone would deliver them to their families.
Of course, the sect would also provide some compensation.
The team regrouped, and then everyone continued to escort the supplies.
Qin Han Chu and Lan Yan walked at the back of the team. He asked, "What is Wang Yi's background?"
Lan Yan explained Wang Yi's family situation to Qin Han Chu.
Upon learning of Wang Yi's background, Qin Han Chu said, "It seems my situation is quite dangerous. If he commands a Spirit King Realm expert to attack me, it would be disastrous. Against a Spirit King Realm expert, I stand little chance of victory."
Lan Yan remained silent, knowing this possibility was high.
Although Wang Yi was only at the War God level, he had a good grandfather.
As long as he spoke, many Spirit King Realm experts would want to curry favor with him.
"I need to find an opportunity to slip away. I can't stay here any longer," Qin Han Chu said.
"If you leave, you will be considered a traitor by the sect."
"At that time, the sect will issue a bounty for your pursuit."
Hearing this, Qin Han Chu laughed, "Isn't my current situation more dangerous than being hunted?"
"I will go back and talk to Wang Yi."
"Perhaps he will listen to me."
Lan Yan said sternly.
Qin Han Chu chuckled, "If he asked you to be his Dao companion, would you agree for the sake of my life?"
"No!" Lan Yan replied decisively.
Qin Han Chu knew this would be the answer.
In this world where people devoured each other, how many would sacrifice themselves for others?
"I knew it."
"If you were truly willing, you might as well give yourself to me instead."
Qin Han Chu teased.
Hearing Qin Han Chu's words, Lan Yan's gaze turned cold.
Qin Han Chu could sense Lan Yan's slight anger. He smiled, "Just kidding, don't be so petty, right? I risked my life to help you with this mission, and I'm not even allowed to crack a joke?"
At this, Lan Yan's expression softened slightly.
The rest of the journey proceeded smoothly, and everyone safely reached their destination.
In this Imperial City, the disciples of the Double Extreme Sect held a highly respected status.
Even the reigning Emperor showed Qin Han Chu and the others great respect.
Towards Lan Yan, the "Saintess" of the Profound Ice Peak, the Emperor was exceptionally deferential.
After resting for a few days in the Imperial Capital, the group returned.
Since there were no more goods to escort, Qin Han Chu and Lan Yan returned directly by riding the Snow Eagles.
After absorbing the flesh and blood of the Dragon Scale Ice Tiger, the Snow Eagles' strength had improved considerably.
They were already at the peak of the War God realm, and now they were only one step away from the Spirit King realm.
What would have taken three months, the two of them covered in just a few hours to return to the sect.
The Double Extreme Sect's task of escorting supplies was undoubtedly just a means to temper their disciples.
With the strength of the Double Extreme Sect, there was no need for such a clumsy method of transporting supplies.
They landed in a valley. Lan Yan said to Qin Han Chu, "I will go and talk to Senior Brother. Don't rush to leave."
With that, Lan Yan flew away.
As Qin Han Chu was about to return to his residence, he saw Hong Luan walking towards him with a smile.
"Junior Brother, it's been a long time."
Qin Han Chu grunted, "It has indeed been a long time. Senior Sister has become even more charming."
Hearing Qin Han Chu's words, Hong Luan said with a hint of annoyance, "Many people praise me, but you are the only one who does so so casually."
"I have something to attend to, so I'll be going now."
"Senior Sister, please continue to enjoy the scenery."
Seeing Qin Han Chu about to leave, Hong Luan flashed and blocked his path, "I heard things haven't been going too smoothly at Profound Ice Peak? Would you like to come to our Flame Peak?"
"I am naturally someone who attracts hatred. Even if I went to Flame Peak, I wouldn't fare any better," Qin Han Chu said.
Qin Han Chu's words made Hong Luan laugh, "It's alright, my status at Flame Peak is much higher than Lan Yan's at Profound Ice Peak. If you don't come to Flame Peak, Wang Yi won't let you off."
"Senior Sister knows a lot about my affairs? Could it be that you've taken a liking to Junior Brother?"
"I remember there's also a suitor in the world, will he also see me as a thorn in his side?"
"Attracting one Wang Yi is enough. I don't want to attract another enemy," Qin Han Chu said.
"It's not that I like you, it's just that I feel you're different from others."
"If you could come to Flame Peak, I would have someone to talk to."
Qin Han Chu could understand Hong Luan's feelings.
In this sect, everyone fawned over Hong Luan, which made her feel very lonely.
Qin Han Chu didn't put her on a pedestal, so his words were very casual.
And Hong Luan was looking for someone like that to talk to.
"I'll talk to you later. I need to go back and cultivate first."
Qin Han Chu now had Wang Yi as a formidable enemy, so he had to seize the time to enhance his strength.
With that, Qin Han Chu flew directly towards his residence.
"This guy, can he die if he talks a little longer?"
Hong Luan grumbled vexedly and then walked towards Flame Peak.
That afternoon, Lan Yan arrived at Wang Yi's wooden house.
Upon learning that Lan Yan had come to see him, Wang Yi happily walked out.
"Junior Sister, it's truly rare for you to come looking for me."
Lan Yan's face remained as cold as ice, "Senior Brother, why must you make a move against Qin Han Chu because of me? We are merely ordinary fellow disciples."
"What do you mean? I..."
Seeing Wang Yi about to deny it, Lan Yan said, "We have known each other for over twenty years, and I know your character very well. Let Qin Han Chu go; I don't want someone who helped me to meet with misfortune."
"Junior Sister, are you sure you are just ordinary fellow disciples with him?" Wang Yi asked.
Lan Yan retorted, "Of course."
"Alright, as long as you keep your distance from him, I will let him go."
Since Lan Yan had come to him, Wang Yi naturally had to give face.
If he continued to target Qin Han Chu, it would definitely make Lan Yan very disgusted with him.
Giving up targeting Qin Han Chu now could be considered earning some goodwill.
