In Han Yan's mind, another image suddenly emerged. To save Yi Qinglian from the misfortunes of her past life, Han Yan had once ventured alone, using thunderous methods to kill the retired court official Jian Zhongtian. It was after killing him that she saw the same bizarre scene filled with piles of bones in that eerie courtyard.
She understood now, she understood everything. It turned out, the protector of the Guiyu Clan was Jian Zhongtian. In exchange, he obtained the evil technique from them, which sacrificed the lives of young girls to enhance his combat power. Originally, she thought Jian Zhongtian was just a pervert addicted to torturing and killing girls, but there was a deeper reason hidden. Fortunately, the Guiyu Clan did not divulge everything to Jian Zhongtian, and he couldn't master the technique, so despite causing harm to countless people, he didn't have significant cultivation; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to kill him back then or emerge unscathed.
