Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1506: Chapter 1506: Lady Mu Gathers Power for a Big Move

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Han Yan did not explain and walked straight ahead. Naturally, Huayue and the others had no doubts about her at all, and followed along. Behind them were Yan Yuchu, Yue Fanchen, and others who trusted Han Yan completely.

In the blink of an eye, Han Yan’s group walked leisurely several yards away, and the invisible array blocking their path indeed showed no reaction.

Only then did the others believe Han Yan had truly broken the array and followed her, though they were puzzled all the way. They couldn’t understand how Han Yan had so easily broken the array.

If Han Yan had broken the array like she did earlier when facing Wei Xiaotian, using the sword power of the Sword Saint Realm, they could somewhat accept it, but who would have thought she only made a few hand gestures and silently broke the array without a sound? If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.

”How on earth did you break the array?” Even Huayue and the others were baffled.

”This array is actually similar to the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array but has an opposite formation method,” Han Yan explained in a voice only they could hear.

Huayue and the others suddenly understood. The Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array was the array Han Yan was most familiar with. She had once saved Jiang Yuzhe from it and later set up a simplified version to cripple Tian Wenliang’s cultivation.

If Han Yutang had used a different array, Han Yan might have had to work harder. But with the Thousand Illusion Demon Suppression Array being similar in principle to the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array, and with its formation opposite, it was effortless for Han Yan to break it.

Of course, that’s because they encountered Han Yan. If it hadn’t been her, even if Zhuang Ping’an and Sang Qinghe put their lives on the line, they wouldn’t have broken the array. Years ago, a group of experts from Western Qin Country met their end under the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array. With its principles akin, the Thousand Illusion Demon Suppression Array wasn’t so easy to break.

Opposite them, Han Yutang was also stunned, gaping for a long time without noticing the saliva dripping onto the ground.

”Han Zhishi, you should apologize now,” Han Yan called to the still dazed Han Yutang.

”Apologize for what?” Han Yutang awoke from his reverie, wiped his mouth, and feigned ignorance.

”How quickly you’ve forgotten your own words?” Han Yan coldly glared at Han Yutang.

”Of course I remember what I said. But I clearly stated that if you could break the array, I would apologize. Yet you five worked together, implying it was a collective effort, not just yours—why should I apologize?” Han Yutang said shamelessly.

What a joke! He was here to make things difficult for them. How could he apologize and save face? Could he face others after this?

”You clearly said that as long as one of us could break the array, you would apologize,” Zhuang Ping’an retorted.

”That was earlier. Didn’t I change my words later?” Han Yutang was resolved to be shameless, smilingly stating.

”How disgraceful for a Holy Court Steward to be so untrustworthy!” Sang Qinghe said angrily.

”What do you mean untrustworthy? Didn’t she herself say earlier that if she could break the array, I would apologize? You all heard it, right? Accuse and slander me again, and I’ll deal with you harshly.” Han Yutang drew his longsword, not only refusing but also getting aggressive.

A wave of sword power enveloped them, causing Zhuang Ping’an and Sang Qinghe to pause in their breaths.

”Forget it, let’s go. No need to engage him,” Han Yan said softly and turned to leave.

”He disgraced us earlier and now distorts the truth and breaks his promise. Just letting him go is too lenient,” Zhuang Ping’an and Sang Qinghe voiced their discontent.

”There’s a saying: good deeds bring good returns, and evil deeds bring evil returns. He’ll reap what he sows someday. Why bother with him?” Han Yan replied calmly.

Though reluctant, they knew they weren’t Han Yutang’s match. Since Han Yan didn’t want to pursue it, Zhuang Ping’an and the others let it go.

However, they were somewhat disappointed in Han Yan. With her strength and the right, she could teach Han Yutang a lesson, but chose to keep things peaceful. Perhaps the rumors were untrue—was Han Yan really just a bully who fears the tough and picks on the weak? Didn’t she have no choice but to fight Wei Xiaotian earlier, and now with Han Yutang, she’d rather avoid trouble?

Those familiar with Han Yan, like Zirong, exchanged glances, not believing she was so amenable. Was Lady Mu really such a pushover and would give Han Yutang such an easy pass? Surely not! She was planning something big. Oh, someone’s in for a big mess—just wait and see, enjoy the excitement.

Han Yutang, seeing Han Yan and others let things go, couldn’t help but feel smug, silently taunting: Hmph, you think you can make me apologize? Dream on!

”Hm, lucky break that you accidentally broke Young Master’s Thousand Illusion Demon Suppressing Array,” taunted a follower behind him.

”Doesn’t make sense, this array is Master’s secret. How could she break it so easily?” Mentioning the Thousand Illusion Demon Suppressing Array, Han Yutang was puzzled again.

Honestly, his understanding of the array was superficial. It was thanks to his master’s hand-crafted sixteen array formation magical artifacts that he managed to set up the Great Array. How could the opponent break it so easily? Was it her who broke the array, or was there a flaw in the array formation itself?

With suspicion in mind, Han Yutang with his follower entered the array to inspect it carefully.

He didn’t notice Han Yan suddenly pause and flash a sly smile.

”Young Master Mu, what’s wrong?” Zhuang Ping’an and the others stopped and asked in confusion.

Despite their disappointment, Han Yan’s strength was evident. The fact they avoided disgraceful escape, thanks to her help, still commanded their respect.

”Just now I mentioned, ’good deeds bring good returns, and evil deeds bring evil returns,’ he’ll reap what he sow, right?” Han Yan spoke cryptically.

Zhuang Ping’an and the others looked puzzled, unsure why she brought this up.

Ye Yanran, Zirong, and others showed their teeth in a chilling smile. Well, someone’s about to get very unlucky.

Soon, the puzzled Zhuang Ping’an and others knew why.

A blaze of array light suddenly enveloped Han Yutang and his follower.
