第五百九十四章 天绝明剑在

Here, several miles away from the small town, they were in a desolate wilderness with no one around.

Only Han Yi and the fisherman remained.

The fisherman spoke up, naturally addressing his question to Han Yi.

When a powerful individual asks, how can one dare not answer?

Han Yi's scalp immediately went numb. However, he knew that his life was at stake and couldn't defy the other party. Reluctantly, he flew closer, landed on the ground, bowed low, and said, "I've come to meet you, Senior?"

But the fisherman wasn't impressed by this.

With a frown, he asked again, "Where do you come from?"

Han Yi's heart raced as if it might explode. Clearly, his attempt to avoid answering had already provoked the other party!

As the saying goes, "Three strikes and out." If his next answer still didn't satisfy the fisherman, he was likely to face dire consequences.

But Han Yi had been tracking this place based on his fortune, seeking his own destiny. How could he reveal such matters to others?

Though the fisherman's cultivation was beyond comprehension, he might covet The Scripture of Heavenly Fortune that Han Yi possessed.

If he told the truth, he would likely suffer the fate of having his soul searched and essence taken away.

It seemed like no matter what, it was a dead end!

Han Yi's mind raced as he quickly came up with a vague answer. Seeing the fisherman's impatience, he gritted his teeth and said, "I've come to seek an item."

"Following traces for thousands of miles, I lost its trail here and can't find it anymore."

He then lowered his head, waiting for his fate.

To his surprise, this strange powerhouse didn’t blame him. After a long silence, he seemed uncertain as he said, "So you've also lost something?"

"Also?"

Han Yi's heart raced when he heard that word. He quickly nodded, "Exactly so. This item is very important to me, and I have traversed countless mountains and rivers to find it. Unfortunately, the heavens are not kind to us..."

The fisherman’s tone softened.

He looked at Han Yi and nodded in agreement, "Precious items need proper care. Once lost, they can be hard to recover."

"I've been searching for a long time but still haven't found it."

Han Yi didn’t dare ask what the fisherman had lost. He was relieved that he had managed to save his life temporarily.

He didn’t dare say anything else and simply said, "Senior is right." Then he lowered his head in silence, no longer thinking about any opportunities, just praying for the fisherman to leave quickly.

However, another shocking event occurred.

Suddenly, the fisherman said, "You, your mother moved!"

Han Yi's body stiffened instantly. Thinking that he was finally destined to fall victim to the other party’s machinations, his mind flashed back to many scenes.

There was the joy and excitement of discovering The Scripture of Heavenly Fortune in an ancient ruin when he first entered the Qi Cultivation stage.

There were the painful failures due to the backlash from cultivating this scripture. Multiple attempts at Foundation Establishment had failed.

And there was the relief and confidence after narrowly escaping a dangerous world, only to find himself successfully establishing his foundation and feeling that the world was his oyster.

"Am I about to die?"

Han Yi thought to himself as he felt utterly hopeless. But then the fisherman said with a frown, "No wonder you couldn’t find anything; it’s because someone has been watching you?"

The fisherman waved his hand lightly, seemingly cutting something.

Instead of death, Han Yi felt a weight lifted off his chest. It was as if a long-standing burden had suddenly vanished from him.

"What does 'watching' mean?"

At first, he was confused, then alarmed.

"Was I also being watched?"

"No wonder everything has been going wrong for me; it turns out every move of mine is under someone else's control."

Recalling his days in the small town, constantly watching over ordinary people, Han Yi broke into a cold sweat.

"Who? When?"

Images flashed through his mind, each one suspicious but none quite fitting.

"You young folks..." The fisherman shook his head at Han Yi’s pale face, "Be careful when you travel alone; after being watched for so long, everything about you must have been seen."

"Might the item I'm looking for have already been stolen?" The fisherman's expression was one of disappointment.

"But it can't be your fault..." Suddenly, the fisherman changed his tone.

He frowned and looked up at the sky.

"People here have some bad habits."

With narrowed eyes, he seemed to recall something, his expression turning serious.

"Senior, save me!"

Perhaps moved by the fisherman’s seemingly kind demeanor like a neighbor, or perhaps shocked by being constantly watched without realizing it, Han Yi suddenly knelt before the fisherman and begged for help.

"Save me?"

The fisherman was momentarily confused. "Don't worry; that person has been severely punished and won’t be able to see you anymore."

Hearing this, Han Yi was overjoyed.

"May I ask Senior, who is watching me? What does he look like?"

The fisherman seemed hesitant, "It’s too far away; my eyesight isn’t good enough to make out the details..."

"Don't worry, please help me identify him," Han Yi clung to this lifeline. If he didn’t know who was watching him, his peace of mind and cultivation would be forever disturbed.

Using a water mirror technique, he brought up several key suspects from recent years.

"Senior, I...?"

Just as Han Yi was about to speak, he sensed an unusual atmosphere in the air.

Turning around, he felt something wasn’t right.

In his momentary panic, he had drawn the scene of the [Green Wind Confining Sword] he saw over the Cloud Sea. The fisherman was now staring intently at that image.

"Uh-oh, the external features of the Heavenly Soul are so obvious; could it be seen through?"

Han Yi suddenly regretted his actions.

"Sword..."

But what the fisherman was focused on wasn’t the Heavenly Soul.

"Sword?"

Han Yi’s gaze fell on the broken sword trapped by Green Wind.

"I've been searching for a long time, but still haven't found it..."

The words of the fisherman from not long ago echoed in his mind.

"Could it be..."

A terrifying thought emerged in Han Yi's mind. Before he could react, he felt the fisherman’s turbid gaze upon him.

In the next moment, Han Yi was consumed by a blackness.
