It turned out to be a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu!

Han Li immediately retracted his Spiritual Sense, his aura swiftly weakened, leaving only the power indicative of the Peak of the Hollow Realm. He also shielded Lu Tianxiang a bit, to prevent the passing Emperor Wu from discovering that her cultivation was sealed.

Soon, that Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm passed by Yonchang Manor and headed towards Leizhou.

Han Li could clearly feel a fierce Spiritual Sense sweeping towards them, lingering over him, Lu Tianxiang, and Jiang Baiye for an instant before moving on without detecting anything unusual.

Only after this passing Emperor Wu left Yuanzhou did Han Li breathe a sigh of relief. That was truly a close call.

This Emperor Wu’s combat ability might not necessarily be stronger than his, but their Spiritual Sense indeed far surpassed Han Li’s, definitely not just at the first level of the True Martial Realm.

“How did the Daqian Empire suddenly have an Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm?” Han Li mused within his heart, pondering internally.

According to his understanding, the Daqian Empire should have at most two Emperor Wu’s in the True Martial Realm, and that included Prince Wu’an who possessed the combat ability of the realm.

In the past, Han Li had always believed Da Qian had no one in the True Martial Realm; it was not until he advanced in his cultivation and his contacts became higher-leveled that he realized this was not the case.

The Daqian Empire had always hidden an Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm who was said to have lived for over a thousand years, with profound and unfathomable cultivation, making other powers covetous of the Daqian Empire quite wary.

With Prince Wu’an still in Huozhou, could it be the hidden Emperor Wu of Da Qian who was on the move?

No, that’s not right. Han Li had caught a brief glimpse earlier and found that the Emperor Wu seemed to be a woman, not quite like the ancient ancestor hidden by Da Qian.

“It’s really a time of great turmoil, thankfully I strategically retreated quickly,” Han Li thought to himself.

Regardless of the identity of the passing Emperor Wu, it was very likely that they were heading for Leizhou, and Han Li didn’t know what earth-shattering opportunity Leizhou had to offer to garner the attention of such important figures.

Prince Wu’an had been waiting in Huozhou early on, never stepping into Leizhou, and his agenda was too obvious, trying too hard to cover it up. Han Li had guessed his goal was Leizhou, which was part of the reason he moved out of there.

The opportunity that had Prince Wu’an waiting for so many years must be substantial, and perhaps other True Martial Realm powers would come to contend for it. When a battle among those in the True Martial Realm breaks out in Leizhou, regardless of how much he tries to lay low, he could easily be affected.

Now, it seemed his decision was wise, with the mystery of True Martial Realm rushing over, it indicated that the opportunity Prince Wu’an had been waiting for was about to appear.

Han Li even felt that when the time came, multiple True Martial Realm powers might get involved, with top forces like the Yinyang Sect, Kurong Sect, and Da Jing Dynasty likely having already received the news and unwilling to simply watch as Prince Wu’an obtained a great fortune.

“Should I take the chance to fish in troubled waters?” Han Li suddenly had this thought.

He indeed had many undeutilized disguises with the combat ability of the True Martial Realm, so the plan to fish in troubled waters was feasible.

Yet upon reflection, Han Li discarded the idea. The nature of the opportunity was unknown, and it was not worth the risk.

He would do well to stay put at Chengsheng Mountain. In a little while, once he had eight hundred descendants, his cultivation would be able to soar to the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

At that time, his combat ability would also increase, so why should he take great risks to fight for treasures and opportunities?

Leizhou would evidently face a grand melee of True Martial Realm powers, and it’s possible one of the Emperor Wu’s might even perish. It’s far too dangerous.

Doe Han Li, the great ancestor, really need to engage in such slaughter?

PS: Here’s the second update for today, there are still two more chapters to come. Please, monthly tickets, monthly tickets, monthly tickets.

This chapter was really difficult to write. Although many settings were already in place, writing the details out was particularly brain-consuming, taking over two hours, sigh.
