The statement made by the Vice Sect Leader essentially confirmed the choice of the Five Immortals City.
Whether to support Shen Han now indeed poses a dilemma.
Shen Han’s performance demonstrated his astonishing talent and strength.
However, Shen Han ultimately practices the Old Cultivation Method.
To those who do not fully understand the Old Method, although they marvel at Shen Han’s achievements,
they remain uncertain about Shen Han’s future.
It might lead to heavenly achievements, or it might just end here...
At this point, with the Vice Sect Leader opting not to stake on Shen Han, the other elders naturally followed suit with this decision.
If something goes wrong, and they made the wrong judgment.
The responsibility would lie with the Vice Sect Leader.
If they had opposed the decision, and an issue arose, they would be blamed.
Dean Sixin glanced at their Vice Sect Leader without further comment.
Choosing to protect Shen Han is indeed a risky move.
But now, Shen Han has shown exceptional strength, while also being indebted to the Five Immortals City.
From a standpoint of reason, they should choose to protect Shen Han.
After all, without Shen Han’s introduction back then, Song Xiaodie and her sister would likely have left the Five Immortals City.
Ultimately, Dean Sixin was just a dean; with the Vice Sect Leader’s decision made, no others supported her.
The matter was decided.
Sixin and Si Zhi had done what they could.
But if the Five Immortals City could not offer protection to Shen Han, he could only rely on himself.
On the tenth day of the incident, the people from Tiger Peak Manor finally arrived at Nine Heavens Palace.
You Wanying and the Manor Master of Tiger Peak Manor both came.
In addition, two elders accompanied them.
These past few days, it had been snowing continuously at Nine Heavens Palace, covering the surrounding scenes in a layer of silver.
You Wanying, a veteran strong figure from Tiger Peak Manor, had already stepped into the Illusion Realm.
Upon seeing Ban Wu’s corpse, she seemed dazed and almost fell.
The surrounding elders quickly supported her.
"Elder Wanying, please restrain your grief, don’t be overly sorrowful."
In the past few hundred years, Tiger Peak Manor had never encountered such an incident.
It was said Tiger Peak Manor was protective, yet another core disciple had perished under their watch.
Standing before Ban Wu’s casket, You Wanying watched him, watching her eldest disciple.
Ban Wu had been by You Wanying’s side since the age of eleven, and after thirty years, they were as close as family.
She could not accept by any means that her eldest disciple met this fate.
Ban Wu, who even had the hope of inheriting the position of Manor Master, died just like that.
In the casket, the lifeless Ban Wu had withered away.
Just a skin wrapped around dry bones.
Completely unrecognizable from his appearance in life.
It appears not only did he die, but Ban Wu died terribly.
"Elder Wanying, you should take a rest..."
The Manor Master of Tiger Peak spoke softly, but You Wanying remained motionless, as if she hadn’t heard.
Just standing before Ban Wu’s casket, saying nothing at all.
The Manor Master of Tiger Peak left the mourning hall with the other two elders for a moment.
During their journey here, they had already been briefed on the entire situation.
However, face-to-face, they still had to inquire once more.
In the loft, everyone present that day had arrived.
The Mansion Master of Nine Heavens also accompanied them to listen.
Ban Wu’s death was a major event for Tiger Peak Manor.
He died on the territory of Nine Heavens Palace, and the Mansion Master needed to make an appearance to some extent.
In the loft, the three from Tiger Peak Manor asked all the questions they wanted to ask.
In response to these questions, whether it was the guards of Tiger Peak Manor or those from Nine Heavens like Lv Xinrong, they immediately answered.
