Chapter 285 -283 Nine Revolutions True Man
“`
Deep into the night, beneath a sparse array of stars and moonlight.
A vast lake spanned amidst the mountains, the legendary Qiushui Lake; dotted across it, islands were strewn like stars across the sky, on which structures clustered, the domicile of the Han Family.
Years ago, Han Bing’s parents were wed on this very land, birthing her here. Yet, ever since she turned ten, the strife between her grandmother’s lineage, the Chang Family, and the Han Family, grew increasingly fierce. Until the appearance of the False Core Ancestor, Chang Hao, the Chang Family overwhelmingly predominated, forcing Granny Yun Cui to take Han Bing into hiding outside the Chaotic Sect’s Outer Mountain for refuge.
Now, Qiushui Lake had returned to the Han Family’s hands. On the shore, boats bore flags with the large character “Han”, yet the surface of the lake was devoid of any vessels, as if the entire Han Family was under some sort of martial law.
The reason being, of late, the outgoing boats and flying boats were repeatedly attacked, leading to many deaths within the Han Family. Their connections to the Green Bamboo Square had been nearly severed, and even the supply of essential foods and rice from the outside could not make it through. This situation was clearly not sustainable; the Han Family would certainly not hold out for long.

On the periphery of Qiushui Lake, Ning Daoran tunneled through the earth amidst shrubbery, having already circled the lake more than once.
He dared not release his Golden Core Divine Sense to scout around, as the Nine Revolutions True Man was at the mid-stage of Golden Core as well. Should his Divine Sense be detected, it could easily alarm the enemy. If a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator wished to flee unnoticed, Ning Daoran would be helpless to stop them.
However, the concealment techniques of the Nine Revolutions True Man were truly exceptional; merely relying on sensing the breath, Ning Daoran took more than ten circles around Qiushui Lake for three consecutive days without discerning the True Man’s location.
It seemed, only a lure would bring this big fish to the hook.
Alas, the Han Family, frightened by the ambush a few days ago and having lost an elder in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, no longer dared to venture out. Neither the boats on the water nor small flying artifacts dared to act recklessly.
Left with no choice, Ning Daoran had to make the journey himself.
At dusk, Ning Daoran entered Qiushui Lake using Water Escape, then Earth Escape to infiltrate the Han Family’s ancestral land.
Within the ancestral home, oil lamps glowed dimly. A few key members of the Han Family were in a meeting with furrowed brows, evidently troubled.
Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Elder, who was also the Deputy Head of the Han Family, named Han Tai…
Han Bing, being the Sect Master of the Chaotic Sect and nominally the Family Head of the Han Family, was respected as such by the Han Family members, even if she herself did not wish to acknowledge this title.
Perhaps it was these ties of kinship that eventually forced Han Bing to take action.
“Nobody has dared to take boats out in the past few days.”

A young Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator frowned: “It’s said that the Family Head has been gravely injured and could not recover in a short time. Now that the people from the Star Moon Pavilion and the Steel Gate Sect have left, is there really no one who can deal with that Nine Revolutions Old Dog anymore?!”
“The Nine Revolutions True Man is trying to force the Family Head to show herself…”
Han Tai’s gaze was heavy: “This person is ruthless and cunning. If the Family Head were to really appear, it would be extremely dangerous. We must send word of this to the Family Head…”
“But the people we sent out were killed by the Nine Revolutions Old Dog before they could reach the Green Bamboo Square. The Sound Transmission Talismans can’t travel that far. What should we do?”
“If there really is no other way…”
Han Tai gently stroked the Fire Crowned Parrot, a Second-stage Lower Grade spiritual bird on his shoulder, and said: “We’ll have to let it make the trip to the Chaotic Sect and relay the message…”
“But Ancestor…”
A female cultivator furrowed her brow: “Though the Fire Crowned Parrot is incredibly fast, can it truly outrun a mid-stage Golden Core? If the Nine Revolutions Old Dog takes action, wouldn’t Little Fire also be…”
“Sigh…”
Han Tai heaved a helpless sigh.
However, just at that moment, the protective spells around the ancestral home were effortlessly breached like a web, and immediately following, a figure in green robes stepped inside, Ning Daoran himself.
“Buzz~~~”
A wave of Golden Core Spiritual Pressure descended from the sky.
Ning Daoran didn’t wish to explain much but preferred the quick effectiveness of overwhelming strength.
“Elder?”
Han Tai was shocked and unable to move, with sweat quickly beading on his forehead.
“There’s no need to panic.”
Ning Daoran slowly retracted his Spiritual Pressure, giving a faint smile: “I am Han Bing’s senior brother. I’ve come to deal with the Nine Revolutions True Man. However, since he has not surfaced, I don’t have many good solutions. I only need a small favor from all of you, which might draw out the Nine Revolutions True Man.”
“The Family… Family Head’s senior brother?”
The young female cultivator was stunned. She had never heard that their Family Head Han Bing had a Golden Core Stage senior brother?
And he appeared to be at the mid-stage of Golden Core!
“You all don’t need to know too much, knowing too much isn’t good either.”
Ning Daoran said indifferently: “Just follow my instructions, and you can resolve the crisis facing the Han Family.”
“Alright!”
Han Tai immediately nodded: “What would you have us do, Elder?”
“Just stand here. In a moment, I will take a sliver of Divine Soul from each of you. Rest assured, it’s a very small amount that won’t affect your cultivation.”
“Yes, we will follow your commands!”
The next moment, Ning Daoran publicly crafted several Second-class Paperfolk, which strikingly resembled Han Tai and the three younger juniors; he then raised a finger and lightly touched each of their foreheads, extracting a bean-sized piece of Divine Soul, which he then refined into the Paperfolk.
“Do any of you have a Flying Boat or similar treasures? I would like to borrow one.”
“We do!”
Han Tai promptly slapped his Storage Bag and took out a Flying Boat about five meters long: “Would this boat suffice for the Elder?”
“Agreed.”
Ning Daoran nodded, after storing the flying boat in the Storage Bag, he said: “Wait here quietly, remember not to make any noise, and especially do not tell anyone that you have seen me. By tomorrow morning, we will know whether the Nine Revolutions True Man is still amongst the living.”
“Yes!”
Several people bowed with fists clenched in respect.
Ning Daoran turned and left, vanishing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
…
The lake breeze was gentle, and the nighttime Qiushui Lake shimmered with ripples.
Before long, a flying boat ascended into the sky, and at the prow stood an Elder with an Immortal Charm about him, radiating the aura of Late-stage Foundation Establishment, none other than Han Tai, the Deputy Family Head of the Han Family.
Additionally, there were three juniors, all Late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
As the flying boat took off, a faint glow of Second-stage Lower Grade prohibition emerged around its side, flying swiftly toward the distant Green Bamboo Square.
“Humph, these ants are finally unable to restrain themselves.”
Deep in the forest under a pile of fallen leaves, a pair of eyes slowly opened, revealing none other than the legendary Golden Core Middle Stage Independent Cultivator, the Nine Revolutions True Man!
“Whoosh!”
With a flick of his sleeve, the Nine Revolutions True Man dismissed the leaves concealing him and soared into the air, becoming a beam of incomparably fast tunneling light heading towards the flying boat. Cautious by nature, he even activated a Low Grade Divine Speed Talisman, desiring a swift and decisive battle, leaving no trace of his actions.
“Meet your demise!”
As the Nine Revolutions True Man slightly raised his hand, a Treasure Mirror emitting a verdigris gleam surfaced from within him. When mana was infused into it, a golden light burst forth instantly, suppressing everything in its vicinity.
Aboard the flying boat, the mana intensity of Han Tai and the others was instantly suppressed by over fifty percent!
‘Hmm?’
Hidden in the shadows, Ning Daoran’s eyes narrowed, the Treasure Mirror in the hands of the Nine Revolutions True Man was undoubtedly a Treasure, capable of suppressing opponents’ mana before the Fight Technique even commenced. Such an item was exceedingly practical, and it was a Magical Treasure, far more useful than many gaudy treasures!
“Die!”
In the air, strands of blood-red mana swept across, shattering the flying boat’s prohibition in an instant. Following that, the three juniors’ bodies exploded under the Golden Core Power of the Nine Revolutions True Man, turning into a shower of blood!
“Han Tai, I will take your life today!”
Amidst the roar, the Nine Revolutions True Man extended a grip and, from afar, he conjured a blood-red giant arm which clutched the neck and entire head of Han Tai; then, with an explosion of mana:
“Boom!”
Han Tai’s head burst, as if a watermelon had been crushed.
…
“Hmm?”
However, the Nine Revolutions True Man felt something was amiss. Even though it was a sneak attack, it went too smoothly, especially for Han Tai. The last time they fought, Han Tai could withstand a few moves, yet now he was killed instantly?
In the next moment, his eyes shimmered with waves of light, as if engaging some Pupil Technique, and quickly understood—he hadn’t killed actual people but had destroyed mere pieces of Spirit paper.
“Damn, it’s a trap!”
The Nine Revolutions True Man hastily turned around and saw a figure rushing towards him amidst sharp winds, a Third-order Magic Sword descending from the sky and striking down with a verdant blow!
“You…”
With an interrupted shout, the Nine Revolutions True Man quickly brought out his Top-grade Spirit Bone Shield.
Instantly, the sound of the blade splitting bones echoed, and the Bone Shield was cleaved in two, unable to withstand the opponent’s weapon.
A weapon capable of shattering spiritual tools in a single strike must be a Magical Treasure.
In an instant, the Nine Revolutions True Man’s eyes turned icy cold; the opponent was a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator armed with a Magical Treasure, and that treasure was none other than a Magic Sword. In the Cultivation World, the materials required for forging a Magic Sword were expensive; a Magic Sword of Magical Treasure level was a rare object, considered a treasured amongst treasures, the cream of the crop!
“This treasure is mine now!”
The eyes of the Nine Revolutions True Man blazed with fervor, as he slapped the Treasure Mirror overhead, and once again, a golden light beamed out from the Treasure Mirror, enveloping everything around.
Ning Daoran frowned slightly, his mana intensity seemed suppressed by about twenty percent. It wasn’t much… but he was no ordinary Golden Core cultivator; he was a monster who possessed a Five Elements Golden Core, mastered the Eternal Green Technique, and had a Ding Fire Spirit Body. Even his mana was suppressed this much, what chance would an average Golden Core cultivator have?
“This item…”
His eyes lit up: “This item is fated to be mine!”
“Go to hell!”
The Nine Revolutions True Man was furious, as those were always his lines!
However, in the next second, Ning Daoran’s hand flickered and produced a green jade gourd; the stopper of the Jade Gourd popped open on its own, locking onto the Treasure Mirror’s mana aura and releasing a strong spiral suction force.
“Zzzz~~~”
The Treasure Mirror hummed, as if wanting to break free from control.
“Ahh?!”
The Nine Revolutions True Man was shocked, how could this happen!?
That jade gourd… what kind of extraordinary treasure was it?
Why did it possess the aura of an Ancient Treasure???
