Zheng Changnian held the rusty Long Saber in his hand.
It was the one given to him by Nangong Jin.
To him, this Long Saber had rusted.
Using such a weapon was somewhat burdensome to his skills.
But to deal with Shen Han, Zheng Changnian felt it was more than enough.
He stood not far from the entrance of the mountain range, like a god of death.
At this moment, many eyes were on Shen Han.
They wanted to see when exactly Shen Han would step into the Spring Mountain Range.
Or perhaps, whether Shen Han would dare step in at all.
Those privy to some details knew well that Cangxuan Valley harbored deep resentment towards Shen Han.
Moreover, Zheng Changnian had personal grudges against Shen Han.
The accumulation of these factors made it certain that Zheng Changnian would show no mercy.
He was likely thinking of unleashing fierce moves the moment he saw Shen Han.
Divine Dream Elder Nangong Jin also noticed this scene, slightly furrowing his brows as he looked towards the Cangxuan Valley Valley Master, Yue Bugong.
With just a glance, Yue Bugong understood what Elder Jin wanted to ask.
"Elder Jin, Changnian’s actions are meant to vent anger for the sect.
A disciple of ours defected from Cangxuan Valley and joined the Star Tower.
This brought disgrace to the sect in front of many.
Changnian’s actions aim to let out some steam on behalf of the sect."
After hearing Yue Bugong’s explanation, Nangong Jin nodded.
After a moment, he asked again: "Who is Changnian going after?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Bugong turned his head and pointed towards Shen Han in front of everyone.
He didn’t care if Shen Han noticed them and simply pointed him out.
"It’s that person, standing among the Star Tower disciples."
Nangong Jin glanced over and nodded slightly.
"A traitor to the sect should indeed face some punishment.
I have lived over three hundred years, and the ones I despise most are these traitors."
Hearing Nangong Jin’s words, Yu Chou, the Sect Leader of Star Tower, looked uneasy and was about to step forward to explain.
"Elder Jin, this young Shen Han is not a traitor.
According to Cangxuan Valley’s rules, outer sect disciples are allowed to leave freely.
Moreover, they never provided Shen Han with any resources or support..."
Before Yu Chou could finish, Nangong Jin waved his hand.
"No need to explain this to me; I can judge right from wrong myself."
Nangong Jin was unwilling to delve into lengthy discussions with others.
Had it not been for Zheng Changnian, he would not have come here today.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
High in the sky, the blazing sun was already hanging high.
Disciples of smaller sects had mostly entered the mountain range, seeking places to hide themselves.
At 7:00 AM, many capable disciples began heading into the mountain range.
The disciples of Cangxuan Valley also began to enter.
The disciples of Star Tower looked at Shen Han with some sympathy in their eyes, yet they too stepped into the mountains.
Amidst all the attention, Shen Han remained calm and composed, showing no impatience.
Seeing Shen Han so unruffled, the people of Cangxuan Valley prepared to implement a second plan.
Zheng Changnian nodded to the Cangxuan Valley disciples outside.
Then they began to pass messages.
If Shen Han dared not enter the Spring Mountain Range today, the Cangxuan Valley disciples would target Star Tower’s disciples.
Even if it meant losses to Cangxuan Valley, they would bring down Star Tower’s disciples with them.
Ensuring that not a single spot would be taken by Star Tower.
This threat indeed had some effect.
Once these words were said, it immediately sowed discord between Shen Han and the disciples of Star Tower.
