Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: Cunning Little Girl

The other few elders also completely put away their dismissive attitude, concentrating intently on the dust in the air. They were just as curious about Han Yan’s sword strike.

The Sword Light still shone brightly, and Han Yan’s cold voice continued to echo around, but the sword had yet to descend.

One could imagine that for this sword stroke, she would definitely give it her all. Everyone was somewhat expectant.

But after waiting and waiting, after a full hundred breaths, the longsword still hadn’t come down. Jiang Yunhe finally got a bit impatient and struck out with his palm.

As his palm force passed, the wind rose suddenly, and the dust dispersed, but there was no trace of Han Yan.

Looking intently into the distance, a slightly thin figure could be seen fleeing desperately into the distance.

What a joke, Han Yan wasn’t foolish. How could she really risk her life against Jiang Yunhe? She knew very well that although the earlier sword stroke had taken a small advantage, it was only because Jiang Yunhe underestimated her. In a real fight, even ten Han Yans together might not be his match. If she didn’t leave now, then when?

So, as soon as the dust rose, she made up her mind, casually shouted, took out a longsword from the Star Plate and stood it upright on the ground (these days she hadn’t neglected practicing various magic skills, including the Sword Casting Technique; she had many Heavenly Flying Immortal swords stored), and then used Shadow Shifting to hide and flee swiftly.

”What a cunning little girl!” The elder named Tu stroked his beard and laughed.

”Now, you all see her abilities,” Jiang Yunhe said with a bit of a helpless laugh, retracting his palm placed in front of his chest, shaking his head with some self-deprecation.

”She’s only sixteen or seventeen, yet she has such strength and strategy. Who knows what she’ll become when she grows up?” the elder named Jing remarked with admiration.

”If it weren’t for the grand mission, I really wouldn’t want to be her enemy.” Jiang Yunhe’s smile faded as he set off to pursue Han Yan.

The other elders also composed themselves and followed closely by his side.

By now, Han Yan had escaped a thousand feet away. Finally, she had a moment to turn her head and look back, seeing Jiang Yunhe’s figure becoming smaller and more distant, finally letting out a long sigh of relief. Luckily, she had acted quickly, otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the chance to escape today.

”No wonder she’s the first playboy of Long Yan Academy. Her quick wit and adaptability even put to shame those old disciples who have been with the academy for decades.” Just as Han Yan was feeling secretly pleased, a figure flashed before her, and Jiang Yunhe and the few elders were once again in front of her.

Such speed! Han Yan smiled wryly. A moment ago, they were still a thousand feet away, and the next, they were right in front of her. She had used every ounce of strength to escape, even deploying the Flying Cloud Green Feather magic artifact.

If it were just Jiang Yunhe, that would be one thing, but the strength of the other three elders was no less than his. Han Yan knew she was truly trapped this time.

”Do you really think, with your current strength, you can contend with us? Hand over the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, and I promise not to harm you,” Jiang Yunhe said arrogantly.

”Her strength isn’t enough, but what about mine?” At that moment, a cold voice from Gong Hongru rang out.

”Master!” Han Yan looked up in surprise, only to see a figure descending from mid-air, striking a palm towards Jiang Yunhe.

The expressions of Jiang Yunhe and his group changed. They had long known the secret of the Secret Realm and were prepared. As soon as Han Yan acquired the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, breaking the existing laws of the Secret Realm, they immediately broke the seal to enter. They thought that even if Gong Hongru and others were alerted, they wouldn’t be able to arrive in time. But they hadn’t expected him to arrive so swiftly.

”You must be one of the three great masters of the academy, Gong Hongru. I’ve long admired your name, and today I’ll get to experience your strength,” said the elder named Tu with a long laugh, ascending to block Gong Hongru.

The two clashed palms, their forms trembling simultaneously, resulting in a draw.

”Who are you?” Gong Hongru asked seriously, not expecting the opponent to have such strength.

”I am Tu Tianjiao!” said the elder named Tu.

”Tu Tianjiao, of the Divine Servant Clan!” Gong Hongru’s eyes noticeably showed a hint of surprise.

”Correct, I am Tu Tianjiao, one of the three great elders of the Divine Servant Clan. Since you know of our clan, please make way and let us take the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate,” Tu Tianjiao said proudly.

”No,” Gong Hongru replied without hesitation.

”If not, then we’ll have to take it by force.” Tu Tianjiao signaled to Jiang Yunhe and launched another attack at Gong Hongru.

”Hmph, the ancestral treasure of Longyan Academy, do you think you can take it just because you say so?” came a cold snort from the sky. Two figures descended—Dean Nangong Jingyuan and Wenren Qingqiu.

Seeing the situation, the elder named Jing and the elder named Leng both ascended to meet them.

Several sounds like shocking thunder boomed in the sky, causing the ground to shake.

Jiang Yunhe’s face darkened. Without much hesitation, he reached out to grab Han Yan.

With Gong Hongru, Nangong Jingyuan, and Wenren Qingqiu all here, if they delayed any longer, and if Long Congyuan and other academy experts arrived, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

Ling Han Yan had already anticipated Jiang Yunhe’s move and was prepared.

”Star Fall, Eight Desolates!” Han Yan struck with her sword once again.

Jiang Yunhe knew the power of this sword and didn’t dare be careless, instinctively sweeping his sleeve.

However, just as he swept his sleeve, Han Yan’s figure suddenly vanished.

Jiang Yunhe could anticipate it, and so could Han Yan. There was no way she would clash with him head-on. As long as other academy experts arrived, Jiang Yunhe would have to retreat; she wouldn’t foolishly throw herself into a desperate fight.

Once again with this move! Jiang Yunhe paused in mid-sweep, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Having been renowned for centuries, with countless battles behind him and rich experience in combat adaptation, he hadn’t expected to be outsmarted twice today by a young girl using the same tactic.

But this time, her Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword didn’t have the false appearance effect, nor the large dust cloud as cover, making it much harder to slip past Jiang Yunhe’s attention.

Jiang Yunhe’s eyes narrowed slightly. Just as Han Yan’s barrier ended, and her form wasn’t fully visible, Jiang Yunhe flashed once more, appearing before Han Yan and striking towards her shoulder.

”No!” Jiang Qiling cried out with a complex expression.
