Han Cai looked at Lan Yulan as if asking who Elder Qing was.
Standing beside him, she said, "He is the head elder of the Zhanlue Pavilion, a hidden hall of the White Tiger Sect."
Han Cai was pleased to get some context about the situation.
Elder Qing asked, "How are you, Yunado? I never thought we would be meeting in this situation. Just surrender, you have nowhere to go."
Lan Yunado nodded; they had no choices, they had all lost their cultivation.
"We are ready to surrender, but I hope you will let our Holy Daughter leave. I hope you will give this much courtesy to our sect," said Lan Yunado.
Elder Qing laughed out loud and said, "Do you think we put so much effort just to capture you? The Holy Daughter was our target from the start.
You can send one of the disciples back to the sect with our messenger. If the Azure Dragon Sect agrees to share the ancient alchemy formula, all of you will be released. If not then we will strip the Holy Daughter of her cultivation and make her serve wine to merchants in the Fragrant Hall."
Han Cai cringed at the clichéd evil.
Just when they thought it was the end of the line for them, a thundering voice echoed, "You think our Azure Dragon Sect is that naive? That we will let you do whatever you wish to do?"
Hearing the voice, Elder Minghu, the Chief Elder of Shenwei, frowned because he knew to whom the voice belonged.
Soon many azure-dressed elders appeared in the sky, and in the center of them was Lan Fuyao, the Head Core elder of the Azure Dragon Sect. Han Cai suddenly realized that even if everyone's cultivation was drained, his array transfer talisman had been activated. Now everyone was protected by the Array Transfer Talisman.
There was female elder standing beside Elder Fuyao. He turned to a female elder and said, "Elder Meiying, take the Holy Daughter away with you."
Hearing this, Elder Qing laughed, "You think we will allow you to do that?"
While Elder Qing was speaking, Elder Meiying had already flown towards the Holy Daughter. Many elders dressed in red, white, and yellow robes came forward to stop her, but they were all repelled. Elder Meiying somehow teleported in front of Lan Yanmei, picked her up, and flew away.
Han Cai saw that Lan Yulan and other friends of Holy Daughter were left behind. He frowned, feeling disappointed in the sect. "Even if the elders didn't save his soon-to-be-dying girlfriend, they should have saved him. His cultivation was just at the Foundation Establishment in their eyes, yet they ignored him and didn't try to save him."
Being the magnanimous person he was, Han Cai decided not to hold it against the sect. Maybe they didn't know about his existence, so they didn't care about him.
Seeing Elder Meiying taking away Lan Yanmei, Elder Qing grew furious and tried to chase, but he was stopped by Elder Fuyao. The battle commenced again. The cultivators of the Azure Dragon Sect were prepared this time, but the elders of the White Tiger Sect, Jindao Nation, and Xilong Republic outnumbered them. Nevertheless, the elders of the Azure Dragon Sect had the Array Transfer Talisman to protect them.
Half of the Azure Dragon Sect elders focused on the attack, while the other half concentrated on freeing the Core disciples and assisting their escape.
No one came to save Han Cai. Even the enemies didn't care about a Foundation Establishment level cultivator in a battle where Earth Immortals were the weakest disciples.
Han Cai felt disappointed. Since no one cared about him, he decided to leave.
He flew continuously until he found an idyllic location - a valley filled with flowers, beautiful mountains, and a river.
He took out a cushion and cauldron, along with a large amount of spirit meat and vegetables. He also brought out a kettle. First, he set up all the food to cook a stew slowly, while on the side, he put down the kettle, added some spirit coffee and water in it, and let it brew.
The sounds of a massive battle echoed in the distance. His Array Transfer Talisman could transfer most of the attacks to the Grand Defense Array of the sect, but it wasn't invincible. Nevertheless, it had given an edge to the Azure Dragon Sect.
Lost in his thoughts, the coffee was soon ready. Han Cai poured himself a cup of coffee and started sipping it, enjoying the view. He wasn't going to let anything ruin his getaway.
While he was marveling at the beauty of the Mystic Realm's flower valley, he heard a rustling sound. Turning around, he saw her: Lan Yulan.
She flew towards him, for some reason she appeared even more beautiful than the Holy Daughter Lan Yanmei.
Her petite yet curvaceous figure exuded a sense of strength and grace, blending seamlessly with the ethereal beauty of the Mystic Realm. Her skin, as pure and translucent as the finest jade, glowed subtly under the soft light filtering through the valley's foliage. This glow highlighted her delicate features - high cheekbones, a perfectly shaped nose, and luscious, petal-like lips.
Her eyes were the most enchanting, a beautiful blend of sparkling turquoise that mirrored the endless sky and seemed to contain a universe of their own. The intensity of her gaze was softened by her long, thick eyelashes, fluttering like butterfly wings.
.
Her dress, an elegant azure silk garment, accentuated her slender waist and fell in soft, flowing layers around her. The dress's color, reminiscent of the clear azure sky, contrasted stunningly with the colorful backdrop of the flower valley and complemented her ethereal beauty. The garment was embroidered with intricate golden patterns of mythical beasts and celestial symbols, subtly signaling her status and power.
Han Cai had never seen her looking this beautiful. He stared at his girlfriend as she came near him, summoned another cushion, and sat down beside him.
She asked, "What are you drinking?"
Han Cai replied, "It's called spirit coffee. It's an Immortal drink left by a Transcendent when he was leaving this world, but only people with an acquired taste can enjoy it."
Lan Yulan nodded and said, "I will give it a try."
