In the courtyard, it was midsummer, with lush greenery all around.
Everywhere was full of life.
Yet Shen Han was completely uninterested in the scenery around him.
"Elder Sizhi, how much do you know about Tiger Peak Manor?
I have searched through the Book Collection Pavilion; the annals contain little description of this sect.
It seems inconspicuous on the Southern Heaven Continent.
Also, what exactly is the manifestation of this sect’s sinister nature?"
Shen Han frowned, constantly pressing for news of Tiger Peak Manor.
Hearing this, Elder Sizhi felt a bit helpless, and also watched Shen Han with some concern.
"You think Tiger Peak Manor is inconspicuous mainly because we have no interaction with them.
In truth, Tiger Peak Manor is a very domineering sect.
Whenever it involves their core interests, they don’t yield an inch.
Moreover, this sect is extremely protective of its members.
It’s very difficult to become a disciple of theirs, but once you join, the entire sect stands behind you."
Elder Sizhi said this and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Shen Han.
Shen Han also understood why Elder Sizhi had previously advised him to reconcile grievances.
"As for the sinister nature of Tiger Peak Manor, it’s exactly what I’ve told you.
The cultivation technique they practice is elusive, and their techniques are often accompanied by bizarre toxins.
When facing someone from Tiger Peak Manor, even if the strength is comparable, one might suffer great losses."
Elder Sizhi patiently analyzed these messages for Shen Han.
"Shen Han, don’t provoke Tiger Peak Manor.
Hiding away is the best way to handle it.
The people from your hometown all practice the old method; how could they be opponents for the strong of Tiger Peak Manor?"
Elder Sizhi’s advice, Shen Han took as the concern of a senior.
Facing a crisis, hiding is a solution.
But it’s a solution with hidden dangers.
If a slight leak occurs, the danger faced might be even greater than at the beginning.
Moreover, Shen Han was truly not afraid of poison.
"Thank you, Elder Sizhi, for your care during this period.
My hometown is facing changes; I may have to return shortly.
The crisis is everywhere, but I still must return."
"Why are you so stubborn?
What can you do after going back, except put yourself in crisis?
Do you really think you have the strength to face the strong of Tiger Peak Manor?"
Elder Sizhi was frustrated, unable to persuade Shen Han despite his words.
After hesitating for a moment, he led Shen Han towards the center of Five Immortals City.
The two arrived at the Cang Building, and under Elder Sizhi’s guidance, they directly reached the top level.
"You have never faced a true strong opponent, which is why you have this unjustified confidence.
Not to mention you practice the old method, even I, facing the top-level masters of Tiger Peak Manor, would surely be injured and defeated.
The protection they offer within Tiger Peak Manor is beyond your imagination.
If you fend off their ordinary masters, they will send even stronger ones against you.
Also, let me tell you one more thing.
Shen Han, if you really get into a fight with Tiger Peak Manor, you may be injured by them, but never injure their people.
Their members are few but each one is crazy.
If you harm their people, you might have to pay with your life.
If you have some strength and fend off a few attacks,
the manor master himself might come personally, and that would be normal."
Elder Sizhi tried to clarify the dangers, hoping to persuade Shen Han.
But seeing Shen Han’s expression, there was no sign of giving up.
"Are you sure you still want to provoke Tiger Peak Manor?"
