Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 120 - Riding Company

It's chapter 120, yosh!

*

From the story Bing Houyi had relayed back by Yutian a few months ago and the delivery of Feng Xian through voice jade before he left Flower Hill City, he said, Yao Han knew that the most talented young generation cultivator of the Poison Heart Valley was currently the second child of the latest Poison Gate.

Therefore, upon learning of the cultivation practices of the girl in front of him and Yutian who delivered this girl from the Poison Heart Valley, Yao Han instantly guessed the identity of this girl as Xu Yin.

Yao Han's conjecture was indeed precise even though Xu Yin had yet to answer Yao Han's question. At almost the same time, Yao Han's attention was slightly distracted by a faint voice from a distance.

The sound that came from the clattering of footsteps of horses that became part of a small entourage consisted of seven adult men with a sangar face. Looking at their appearance, Yao Han was a little curious about their needs. Their faces don't look like good people.

'Are these the so-called bandit herds?' Yao Han had never seen a bandit before, having only heard his story from Granny Yue, the people of Flower Hill City, and his two teachers.

Yao Han turned his gaze to Xu Yin, "You haven't answered my question, Miss. Are you Xu Yin, the second son of the Poison Heart Valley Patriarch?"

"Hmph! Why do I have to answer your question? Right or not, what's your business?" Xu Yin ruffled the waist.

Yao Han scratched his head, only the first time facing the girl who was hard to talk to. Although it did not directly reply, Yao Han had a strong guess and it was backed by Yutian.

"I don't know who you are, but you actually dare to name the Valley of the Poison Heart at will."

"Do I have to be afraid because the Valley of the Poison Heart is one of the great sects of the ten-star black stream?" Yao Han chuckled softly, "I'm not afraid, it doesn't mean that I underestimated the Poison Heart Valley, rather I respect them. Only one person from the Valley of the Poison Heart I fear the most."

The person Yao Han was referring to was of course Yutian. Despite his strange and ridiculous manner and mannerisms, Yutian was still one of the teachers he feared and respected.

"Who is that?"

"Hm? Why should I tell you? What's your business?" Yao Han returned Xu Yin's words earlier.

Behind his iron mask, Xu Yin scowled funnyly. Were it not for this girl being quite fierce, Yao Han would probably have pinched her slightly chubby cheeks.

"So, Miss Xu..."

"I'm not Miss Xu!"

"Eh, really? But I believe you are Miss Xu Yin. What made you leave the Valley of the Poison Heart and be here?"

"I am not Miss Xu Yin and am not from the Valley of the Poison Heart." Xu Yin continued to deny.

"No need to lie. Is it possible that you went to look for your brother, Brother Xu Yang who escaped from the sect?"

"Np? You know about my brother?"

"D-ah! You finally confessed to Brother Xu Yang's sister!" Yao Han laughed as he felt that he had managed to 'stuck' Xu Yin.

The girl clucked in annoyance at the flirtation, then looked at Yao Han annoyedly, "Why is that right? You want to take advantage of me?"

"Miss, stop that overconfident attitude. If you're looking for your brother, you should be escorted by a few seniors. But seeing you alone, it looks like you went out without telling the people closest to you."

"It's none of your business!"

"It's none of my business. But I was curious about the reaction of Grandpa Frog and Grandma Snake knowing their female great-grandmother's behavior."

"Hm, you could say I know quite a lot about them and the Valley of the Poison Heart as a whole." Yao Han thought there was no harm in opening his identity to Xu Yin, "Oh yes, my name is Yao Han, Master Feng's student, East Wind of Star Moon Island. Hello, Miss Xu."

Xu Yin was no stranger to the names East Wind or Star Moon Island. As Yao Han introduced himself as Feng Xian's disciple, Xu Yin gave a judgmental stance by looking at him from top to bottom over and over again.

"Don't brag. How could Senior East Wind have a disciple like you."

"You don't believe it? I heard from my teacher, your brother's condition is not good due to experiencing the side effects of studying the Book of Sky Poison. My own teacher knew from the Toad Grandfather and Snake Grandmother who had come to visit the Star Moon Island."

Xu Yin was silent for quite a while, while Yao Han's occasional glances toward the advancing cavalry were moving away. His premonition was a little bad about them.

"Miss Xu, we postpone our conversation, I want to make sure of something first."

Yao Han immediately darted away leaving Xu Yin, making the girl startled and clucked in annoyance.

"Hey-y! You have no manners!"

Xu Yin left following with great difficulty because Yao Han used the Heavenly Wind Steps.

The cavalry that Yao Han saw entered a small village. Slightly keeping their distance from them, Yao Han took a position on top of one of the citizens' houses.

"Aish, you're fast. What's wrong with you?" Xu Yin finally caught up with Yao Han with a gasp of breath. Without Xu Yin realizing it, she had instead followed Yao Han who was a stranger to her.

There was no reply from Yao Han as the young man's gaze focused on what the horseman-faced men were doing. One of them hit the old man and several other men started to enter the houses of the citizens and dragged some girls they found.

Furious at their manner, Yao Han came down and threw a pebble towards the man who hit the old man from the small village.

"Damn-fuck! Who would dare to throw stones at me?!" angry roar.

"Who gave you the right to hit that uncle and drag the girls? Let them go."

All of the gazes pointed at Yao Han, behind him was Xu Yin.

"Who are you young?! Don't interfere in our affairs!"

"Hm? Should I ask that question? Who are you and what do you mean by your actions?"

"Hmph! We are from the Red Crow group, the protector of the surrounding area! They can't pay tribute protection on us, instead, we take the girls. Ahaha!"

Yao Han wasn't stupid enough to know the man's words were nonsense. He also knew the bad luck that the girls would experience if they were to be forcefully brought by this riding troupe.

Utilizing their slit of inaction, Yao Han moved swiftly. He approached all the evil men, especially the ones holding the girls, then gave a punch and a hard kick.

All of the evil men were thrashing in pain, especially the man who spoke to Yao Han who got a hard kick in the stomach. After rolling around, he vomited fresh blood repeatedly.

"Tell me, how do you want to die?" Yao Han asked coldly.
