I want to see the sovereign!

Upon hearing the report from the guards outside, Situ Yan, Emperor Beichen, and Baili Hongzhuang immediately understood Han Hongyi's purpose. There was no other possibility except seeking retribution.

Baili Hongzhuang remained composed, as she had already anticipated this. She knew that Han Hongyi would cause trouble for her as soon as she arrived at Tiangang Sect, but she didn't expect him to come so quickly.

Not only that, but Han Hongyi's haste in finding her in the presence of the Sect Master indicated that he cared only about seeking revenge for Han Xiling, disregarding everything else.

Now that both the Sect Master and Emperor Beichen were present, she had no need to worry about this matter. She only needed to let the Sect Master and Emperor Beichen handle it.

Emperor Beichen's gaze changed slightly upon hearing the report. The speed of the Elder was truly remarkable. It seemed that the Elder had been monitoring his every move these days. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

"Ask the Elder to leave first. I have something to deal with now," Situ Yan said, clearly not in the mood to pay attention to Han Hongyi. His entire focus was on the matter of the kinship verification stone. It was a matter of utmost importance to him, and he couldn't be disturbed.

"Yes!" Anwei, the guard, immediately responded to Situ Yan's order and then left.

With the departure of the guard, the attention of Baili Hongzhuang and the others once again fell on the kinship verification stone. Their thoughts were fully consumed by it, eager to know the final result.

Meanwhile, Han Hongyi stood outside Situ Yan's bedroom. Upon receiving news of Baili Hongzhuang's return, he quickly composed himself and rushed over. He now appeared serious, without the previous look of loss and sadness. However, a trace of fierceness and resentment couldn't help but flicker in his eyes.

Originally, he thought it would be troublesome to confront Baili Hongzhuang and the other disciples when they all arrived at Tiangang Sect on the same day. But now that Baili Hongzhuang had returned ahead of the others, he had to act immediately.

Since learning of Xiling's demise, he hadn't been able to rest properly. Every time he closed his eyes, memories of Xiling haunted him. He couldn't rest until Baili Hongzhuang was punished.

"Elder, the Sect Master is currently busy. Please return," a guard appeared before Han Hongyi, expressionless, and spoke.

Upon hearing the guard's words, Han Hongyi's face instantly darkened. "How is that possible? There's nothing between the Sect Master and Baili Hongzhuang that requires his attention. How can he not have time now?"

In Han Hongyi's view, the Sect Master was just using Baili Hongzhuang as an excuse. He knew very well that a fallen cultivator held no meaning. Even though Xiling had a special status in Tiangang Sect before, everything lost its significance the moment she perished. However, when faced with this reality, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable discomfort.

How could the Sect Master act like this?

"I demand to see the Sect Master now!" Han Hongyi's voice turned cold. He refused to accept such a dismissive excuse!
