Huozhou, Province City.
As soon as the great battle in Leizhou occurred, Prince Wu’an was alerted. With just a glance. rage began to burn within him.
How long had it been since the battle in Jizhou, where he slaughtered three grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm? Not even a year had passed, and now another grandmasters’ battle had erupted in Leizhou.
After his bloody campaign in Jizhou, he had secured a period of peace for the Daqian Empire, a peace now shattered right under his watchful eye.
Officially, Prince Wu’an’s task in Sanzhou was to guard the region and eradicate the remnants of the White Lotus Cult. Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou were all within his jurisdiction.
It was outright disrespect, time and again challenging him, pulling at his whiskers, akin to seeking death with a lantern in hand as one enters the privy.
What fueled his fury was that one of the parties in the battle of Leizhou was none other than the Sect Hierarch of the White Lotus Cult.
The White Lotus Secret Method, the Vacuum Palm Imprint, the Lifeless Finger… He was intimately aware of these signature skills of the Lifeless Matriarch.
To wait for an opportunity to arise, he had once spared the Lifeless Matriarch, content as long as she didn’t stir trouble before his eyes. But now she had emerged once more to wreak havoc, seemingly tired of living.
Both grandmasters involved in the battle were just at the early stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Aside from his pride preventing him from bullying the weak, a more crucial reason was his reluctance to step foot in Leizhou lightly.
The Prophet of the Imperial Astronomer had recently informed him that his opportunity would be found in Leizhou. Knowing it was there, he felt even more strongly that he must not go to Leizhou.
He had to remain in Huozhou to attract attention, to make those who coveted the opportunity believe it was in Huozhou. Then, when the time was right, he would procure it quietly, and afterwards, no longer need to consider others.
Therefore, he did not move personally but sent Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong to capture and kill the Lifeless Matriarch.
“If you fail to capture and kill the Lifeless Matriarch this time, you know the consequences. ”
The indifferent words of Prince Wu’an made both grandmasters shudder. They hurriedly made their way to the battlefield in Leizhou, hoping that as the two grandmasters continued to fight, the Lifeless Matriarch would have no escape.
After the two grandmasters departed, Prince Wu’an said to the man in blue robes, “Sir Blue, please go as well.”
“Investigate the identity of the other grandmaster. If possible, recruit him. If not, then let it be.”
“Understood.”
Sir Blue nodded slightly, his figure vanishing from sight.
Leizhou battlefield,
The figure in blue stood firm in the sky as his spiritual sense swarmed out, enveloping the entire battlefield, investigating repeatedly.
He had also watched the battle from afar and was quite familiar with the fight between Han Li and Lu Tianxiang. So he played back various scenes in his mind, which eventually took shape.
The scenes started to play, from the moment Han Li struck fiercely, to their intense clash, to Lu Tianxiang’s failed sneak attack that resulted in her serious injury, and finally their separate departures.
These replayed scenes were astonishingly similar to what actually transpired, truly startling.
“This grandly yang and forceful palm technique, the strikingly yang protective divine skill, and that exceptionally fast movement skill…” Sir Blue frowned deeply.
He knew of similar palm techniques and divine skills, but none were identical to the martial skills employed by this mysterious grandmaster.
He did not recall any grandmasters proficient in such fierce martial arts among those who had risen to the Myriad Phenomena Realm in the early stage within the Dast twentv vears.
“A grandmaster from the Yinyang Sect? Or is it all a deception?”
Sir Blue gazed in the direction Han Li had escaped, muttering to himself. After some thought, he pursued in that direction.
He did not have high hopes of finding the mysterious grandmaster, but he had to try; otherwise, he could not justify it to Prince Wu’an.
Sir Blue preferred to wait, not believing that the mysterious grandmaster wouldn’t make another move. With enough actions, their identity would eventually be revealed.
Zhending Manor, outside the province checkpoint.
Han Li had rejoined the migrating caravan.
Having gravely injured the Lifeless Matriarch and deliberately exposed her identity, once he sensed grandmasters from the Daqian Empire approaching, Han Li swiftly retreated.
He certainly didn’t want to encounter any other Great Grandmasters, lest he draw a host of troubles upon himself. His power could be exposed, but his identity could not be easily revealed.
The exposure of his power would only make the outside world think there was one more mysterious Great Grandmaster, but should his identity be exposed, that would indeed bring a lot of trouble.
Even being powerful could attract trouble, such as having to take sides, people seeking assistance, or stronger figures probing how one’s strength surged so rapidly…
This time, Han Li had only used three martial arts techniques: a body protection skill and a palm technique, which were relatively obvious, while his footwork had no distinct features that made it easy to recognize.
Fortunately, all the problems had been solved, and his identity had not been exposed.
As long as no Great Grandmasters attacked afterwards, he wouldn’t need to use his body protection skill and the Dragon Suppressing Palm again. Using the Life-taking Sword Scripture in conjunction with the Zhenjun Sword would be enough to handle most troubles.
After calling over Qiu Yueyao, Han Li lay on her soft, delicate body, caressing her while pondering over the issue with the Mother of No Birth.
He bore no grudge against the Mother of No Birth, so why had she attacked his migrating convoy? There must be a reason.
In the outside world, he was only a Cultivator who had just advanced to the
Gangyuan Realm, not very powerful, nor did he possess any notable treasures or resources that would attract the attention of a Great Grandmaster from the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
Few knew that he held the Body-Cultivating Furnace, so it was unlikely the Mother of No Birth knew about this. Thus, the only treasure on him that could attract a Great Grandmaster would be the Pill Formula for the Rebirth Pill.
The Zhenjun Sword, though an Earth-Level Supreme Magical Artifact, could also attract a Great Grandmaster, but he had never revealed it.
“How exactly did the Mother of No Birth find out?” Han Li pondered.
After obtaining the Rebirth Pill Formula, he had never revealed it. It was an ancient pill formula, and it was impossible for others to deduce it from just a few medicinal ingredients.
It was very likely that there was an issue with Qiu Xuan. Qiu Xuan had been dead for twenty or thirty years, but the place where he obtained the Rebirth Pill Formula still existed.
Han Li suspected that the Mother of No Birth had entered that place and thereby obtained a clue, which led to the pursuit all the way to him.
Now that the Mother of No Birth was pursued by two Great Grandmasters, it was very likely she would meet her demise, which meant his trouble was resolved.
Yinyang Sect, Black Tortoise City.
The third Elder looked in the direction of Leizhou, his expression somewhat
surprised. Were the current Great Grandmasters all rushing to their deaths.
He was very powerful and not very far away; he had discovered the fight between Han Li and Lu Tianxiang right from the beginning.
He had watched the entire battle, recognized the identity of the woman in black as the Mother of No Birth, and also saw that she was no match for the mysterious Great Grandmaster.
“This is a provocation to Prince Wu’an. It seems that the Mysterious Forces behind the Mother of No Birth are about to make a big move,” the third Elder murmured.
He thought Lu Tianxiang’s action was influenced by the forces behind her, he had misjudged the situation, but by sheer coincidence, his misjudgment turned out to be correct.
“However, who is that mysterious Great Grandmaster? To defeat the Mother of No Birth in such a short period of time, they must be strong. How can they remain obscure and unknown?”
The third Elder couldn’t figure it out; he had never seen or heard of the Vajra
Invincible Body Protection Skill or Dragon Suppressing Palm used by Han Li.
Although ignorant of Han Li’s identity, the third Elder did know that Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou were going to be in chaos.
Repeated battles between Great Grandmasters could potentially set off the entire situation, not to mention that behind the scenes, those Mysterious Forces were fanning the flames.
“The sacrifice is not small, though.”
The Mother of No Birth had come out to create chaos again and now, severely wounded by the mysterious Great Grandmaster, Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong would not miss this opportunity. The Mother of No Birth was doomed.
Sacrificing a Great Grandmaster from the Myriad Phenomena Realm to disrupt the situation, the Mysterious Forces were indeed making a costly move, and thinking of the three Great Grandmasters they had already lost, he couldn’t help but feel astonished at their foundation.
The Yinyang Sect at least wouldn’t dare to sacrifice four Great Grandmasters so easily; they only had twenty-eight Great Grandmasters openly.
But this was also good. With the Mysterious Forces leading the charge, the Yinyang Sect could gain an advantage and at least partition a part of the Daqian Empire’s territory.
