C14 Hanyu Feng(1)

"Finally, a figure of merit has emerged from among the branch disciples. Impressive."

A voice abruptly rose from their midst, startling the two middle-aged men. Someone had managed to draw near without a sound, completely undetected. Had this been an enemy, they would have been dead long ago. Which family expert could this be?

Turning toward the source of the voice, they saw an ordinary-looking woman standing with a girl behind them—none other than Hanyu Shengxi and the middle-aged woman speaking with her.

Upon recognizing the middle-aged woman, they were initially taken aback, then quickly bowed with hands clasped and greeted her, "Greetings, Lord Hanyu Feng."

The woman known as Hanyu Feng paid them no mind, her gaze fixed intently on Hanyu Xiaoxin, who grew increasingly guarded. She gave a slight nod and addressed him, "Young one, strive hard. Should fortune favor you in the future, you might just manage to contend with Shengxi."

Hanyu Shengxi, intrigued by her master's words, studied the teenager before her. She discerned nothing unusual, but her master's statement was surely founded on some hidden truth—this boy must possess some peculiar quality.

To the two middle-aged men, however, Hanyu Feng's words were nothing short of astonishing. If Hanyu Xiaoxin's only claim to fame was his exceptional cultivation of inner Qi at the Qi Pavilion, he would certainly not merit such high praise!

Most of those present didn't recognize the unassuming woman, yet they were aware of her standing within the Hanyu Family.

Hanyu Feng! The beloved sister of the current Hanyu Family Chief, Hanyu Qingtian, she was a figure who seldom made public appearances.

Renowned from a young age, Hanyu Feng was a master of music, a prodigy who once dominated her peers from prestigious families, earning her the moniker "Deviless Woman" and becoming one of her generation's leading lights within the Hanyu Family.

Her secular cultivation journey began with music, through which she stirred a colossal upheaval in the entertainment industry. Despite her plain looks, her music resonated deep within the soul, silencing any singer who dared perform alongside her—thus she was dubbed the "Soloist."

She remained engrossed in her world until a man appeared, whose voice, like sacred radiance, illuminated every corner of the earth and unlocked Hanyu Feng's heart. They shared a deep connection and fell deeply in love.

But their happiness was short-lived. The man vanished mysteriously, leaving no trace or goodbye. Hanyu Feng frantically scoured the world for him, to no avail.

Then one day, she found his body. He had once crossed a powerful figure during a performance. That figure, unable to confront him openly, manipulated events from the shadows, orchestrating his demise through numerous willing agents. Tragically, the man Hanyu Feng cherished was slain, his throat cut with a string—a string she had gifted him, which he had always kept close.

After a decade of absence, Hanyu Feng reemerged, wielding her unique creation, the nine sounds of heavenly killing, to exact vengeance. She brutally slaughtered the 328 individuals linked to the tragedy, including the influential figure responsible.

At the same time, she harbored a deep resentment for those factions that operated under the principle of "taking money to solve others' problems." She never let them off easily upon encounter, and it was unknown just how many had been completely eradicated by her hand.

The string of brutal incidents during that time had sent shockwaves throughout all of China. Following that episode, Hanyu Feng earned the moniker "Bloody Soloist," a title that cemented her infamy across the land.
