Prince Wu’an’s command quickly spread among the Four Great Sects of Leizhou, eliciting varying reactions.
The Tianxuan Mountain, True Sun Sect and Sword Cleansing Pool, who originally wished to stay out of the matter, were compelled to join forces with the Daqian Empire and suppress the demon cultivator responsible for the city massacres.
“Has this devil cultivator lost his mind?”
Even the mild-tempered Sect Leader Gongsun Yun from Tianxuan Mountain couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
Wasn’t it better to slowly prey on villages in the Yinyang Sect? Instead, he chose to massacre in the Daqian Empire, and now he’s asking for death.
Now great, these bystander sects had also been dragged into the water.
Although the Four Great Sects stood high above in Leizhou, they dared not provoke the Daqian Empire. Normally, they could choose to follow orders without fully committing, but at this critical moment, they really couldn’t dare to take it lightly.
The impact of slaughtering seven cities was too great, over sixteen million lives had already been lost. If he continued his slaughter, they would also be affected.
For instance, there would be fewer disciples joining their sects, as there might be a genius among those being slaughtered who could have joined their ranks.
As the Four Great Sects of Leizhou, they also had a certain obligation to prevent the demon from massacring cities, as this was about protecting their potential disciples. A demon running into their “harvest field” and uprooting a large portion naturally provoked their anger.
Previously, with the Daqian Empire shouldering the burden, they could afford to watch from the sidelines, but now with Prince Wu’an’s decree, they had no choice but to get involved, otherwise being labeled as colluding with the Yinyang Sect would be disastrous.
“This demon won’t cause trouble in Fengyang Manor, will he?”
Gongsun Yun suddenly felt concerned. Beyond Dingji Manor lay Fengyang Manor where his favorite disciple Han Li was holed up in Lingjun City.
No matter how powerful Han Li was, he couldn’t match that demon, and Gongsun Yun knew that the demon possessed a powerful Magical Treasure, at least of the Myriad Phenomena Realm caliber, which had allowed him to escape the Jingye Office’s command multiple times.
This only strengthened Gongsun Yun’s resolve to participate. The sooner they killed that stubborn devil cultivator, the better, lest Han Li got dragged into this—a prospect for Tianxuan Mountain’s future.
The True Sun Sect and Sword Cleansing Pool also took to the field one after another. Their Sect Leaders led a few Elders at the God Refining Realm to join the hunt for the demon, but not with the same intensity as Tianxuan Mountain.
Meanwhile, within the Hehuan Sect of another major faction in Leizhou.
A tall and mature beauty furrowed her brows, making her appear even more enticing, like a fully ripe peach, untarnished by the years.
Her skin was as tender as a young girl’s, yet she harbored a mature and cold charm unique to a married woman, truly an irresistibly mature beauty.
She was Yan Liulong, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.
Yan Liulong wore a tight-fitting jumpsuit that split high up her thigh, revealing her round and slender legs encased in black silk stockings. At this moment, she was sitting with one leg over the other, her hand propping her chin, stunningly beautiful.
“Is Prince Wu’an anxious?” Yan Liulong’s seductive and soul-stirring voice echoed in the hall.
“Perhaps.”
Another voice arose in the hall, belonging to a man wearing a black hood, his face obscured, revealing only his eyes.
At this moment, those eyes were filled with an intense fire, unabashedly gazing at the mature, beautiful temptress as if wanting to bring her to justice on the spot.
“How about a round?”
Yan Liulong extended her little tongue and slowly licked her red lips, her expression the epitome of seduction, her voice filled with an extreme and bewitching allure.
“Forget it, forget it, my old bones can’t handle your torment,” said the hooded man with a sheepish smile, his eyes drooping to suppress his desire.
Although he was also a Grandmaster at the Hollow Void Stage, his strength fell short of Yan Liulong’s. And besides, Yan Liulong was the Sect Master of the
Hehuan Sect.
Yan Liulong licked her tongue again and said in a seductive voice, “Stingy.” The hooded man’s heart quivered, but he dared not promise anything.
“Useless thing, get lost,” Yan Liulong said coldly, her flirtatious allure gone.
After the hooded man left, Yan Liulong returned to her own chamber, stripped off all her clothes, and stepped into a tub full of flower petals, one step at a time.
Prince Wu’an, a Great Grandmaster at the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, if she could have him just once, Yan Liulong believed she would definitelv be able to break through the Mvriad Phenomena Realm in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, she didn’t dare, she didn’t even dare to show herself in front of Prince Wu’an, afraid of being killed with a single slap by that formidable man.
As for the commands of Prince Wu’an, Yan Liulong ignored them outright. Being a high -ranking member of the Yinyang Sect, why would she follow Prince Wu’an’s orders to hunt down her own people?
She defied orders, but would Prince Wu’an really dare to attack Qingyun Manor?
The Yinyang Sect wouldn’t just sit back and watch; if a war were truly ignited in the Xuan Domain, the consequences would be unbearable for Prince Wu’an.
Moreover, the high-ranking members of the Yinyang Sect had even hinted that she should, if necessary, help Lu Xiu and disrupt the Daqian Empire’s pursuit.
Fengyang Manor, Lingjun City.
Because a devil cultivator had been rampaging, slaughtering cities one after another, and the Daqian Empire had failed to suppress him, Lingjun City had experienced a certain degree of unrest.
No one knew if that devil cultivator would sneak into Fengyang Manor; Lingjun City risked the same fate of being sacked if he really came.
In recent days, several of Han Li’s descendants had visited him numerous times, revealing their concerns, and even Han Li’s concubines harbored such worries.
Han Li reassured them with a smile, saying that if the devil cultivator were wise, he would not come to Fengyang Manor to ravage but would return to the Yinyang Sect the same way he came; hence, they had no need to worry.
After soothing his concubines and descendants, Han Li was also making preparations in secret, as he had received a message from his master, Gongsun
Yun.
He was told to be careful recently and, if things got too bad, to retreat to Tianxuan Mountain, where his family could migrate to Xuanyi Manor.
Han Li was indeed considering moving, but not to Xuanyi Manor; he wanted to move to Yuanzhou, far from the whirlpool of the Sanzhou.
He knew that the storm brewing in Sanzhou could erupt at any moment, and if even a small part of it reached Lingjun City, the Han Family would not be able to withstand it.
It was all about timing, though.
Leizhou was at the southernmost part of Da Qian, with Huozhou to the northwest, but separated by a part of Qingzhou; Qingzhou also bordered Leizhou on the north and northeast.
North of Qingzhou were Luzhou and Jizhou, and beyond them lay Yuanzhou, which was already quite close to the heart of the Qian Dynasty, Yuanzhou.
On the surface, the Han Family was just a Pihai Realm family, but they had a large number of people, especially with many beautiful concubines and descendants. Moving to Yuanzhou would require crossing Qingzhou and Jizhou, and the risk was too great.
Small families migrating across states had a hundred percent chance of drawing the attention of bandits and robbers hiding in the lofty mountains and steep hills along the borders of the two states.
In some powerful bandit strongholds, there were even Gurus in the Void Realm, and the leader of the outlaws in Da Qian was even a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
Han Li felt that only with cultivation at the Hollow Void Stage could he begin to consider moving his family; otherwise, if he really encountered a Guru in the Void Realm blocking the way, his years of achievements would be undone overnight.
“Sigh, the cultivation realm is truly perilous,” Han Li sighed. Even though he was kind to others and did not vie for cultivation resources, he still couldn’t escape the troubles of the cultivation realm.
This only strengthened Han Li’s resolve to keep a low profile.
Troubles came knocking even when he wasn’t seeking them out; what if he had been out and about causing a stir, would he have been able to grow and thrive?
