At that time, I will send Li Xuanchan to handle the Half-Saint quota.”
Beside him, Elder Chen Yuanzi said, “Sect Leader, I feel that it’s better not to give Han Weizi to the Sea Slaughter Demon Monarch.
Originally, Han Weizi was kept in the deep boudoir, unknown to others, but Li Xuanchan let us see Han Weizi’s potential and preciousness.
I believe this woman should belong to the Sect Leader. Even if not as a Taoist companion, she would be extremely valuable as a supplement.”
He Wuya stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded.
That was precisely his plan.
Just then, Elder Huang suddenly sighed and said, “Sect Leader, there is another matter this time.”
He Wuya laughed, “What matter?”
Elder Huang hesitated and said, “General Ruimu is dissatisfied with the Emperor Changye, so…”
He suddenly sighed, took out a Jade Scroll from his bosom, and said, “Take a look.”
He Wuya took it, scanned it with his Divine Thought, frowned, and then tossed it to Chen Yuanzi.
After looking through it, Chen Yuanzi said, “Impossible! Our sect’s informants have just discovered that although the Emperor Changye’s Lifebound Talisman Character is not ’Heroic Talent,’ it is ’Unification.’ His true aim is to employ both royal and hegemonic strategies to unify the entire Western Nether Realm.”
Elder Huang said, “I believe General Ruimu would not betray the Emperor Changye unless driven to extreme fear… The Emperor Changye’s true Lifebound Talisman Character is actually ’Tyrant.’ It is this very ’Tyrant’ that made General Ruimu realize that even as a trusted confidant, his fate might not be favorable, hence he sought another path.”
He Wuya fell silent.
If it were ’Unification,’ destroying the Li Family wouldn’t matter.
But if the Emperor Changye’s Lifebound Talisman Character is ’Tyrant,’ then a war between our sect and the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty is almost inevitable. Destroying the Li Family at this time would be akin to cutting off our noses to spite our faces. After all, the ’Profound Yellow Third Grade’ realm that the Li Family’s ancestor supposedly possesses deters not only him but also… the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty.
Thinking of this, a shadow passed through He Wuya’s eyes as he began to ponder how to handle the situation.
Although he coveted Han Weizi, at this moment… she was just a woman. He would not upset the larger picture over a woman.
…
…
Thirty years passed fleetingly.
From a god’s-eye view overlooking the Star Domain, the high-realm entities would appear as small dots, ordinary cultivators as green dots, and ghost cultivators as red dots. Then… the Rusted Sword Star Realm would be entirely blood-red. And the Western Nether Realm began to see a few very sparse red dots appear, reminiscent of sparks falling into this place, potentially igniting a prairie fire.
The Western Nether Realm was in the dead of winter.
Snowflakes drifted down from the starry sky, lightly covering the docked Ancient Bronze Ship, only to evaporate instantly upon contact with golden flames, lifting a misty white fog that fluctuated between dense and light.
A mixed group of cultivators disembarked from the Ancient Ship and then dispersed in different directions, quickly vanishing, naturally including Xiao Hanshan and other ghost cultivators.
Song Yan waited quietly in place.
On either side of him stood the Han family sisters.
Han Weizi clung to his arm, while Han Lingzi, for the moment, ceased her mischief.
The thirty years of cohabitation and some external factors led the two women to partially reconcile.
What factors could make this happen?
There is nothing that unites people more than facing a common problem.
The two women seemed… to be no exception.
The anomalies in Li Xuanchan left the two women curious, though they did not speak of it.
Soon, a Li Family Immortal Crane’s Flying Palanquin descended.
The elder riding the crane saw Song Yan and, with a worried expression, said, “Young Master, the ancestor… is waiting for you.”
Song Yan quickly boarded the palanquin.
During this time, he had already learned of the situation through his Outer Body Incarnation and the Li Family’s Message Crane.
Since He Wuya learned of the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty’s wolfish ambition that day, he had been in open discussion with the Li Family ancestor. Upon learning that although the Li Family ancestor had limited remaining lifespan, he indeed possessed the Profound Yellow Three Realms, they set a trap.
The Li Family ancestor publicly announced that “Han Lingzi” had long been the Li Family’s daughter-in-law, and bravely declared that “no matter who tries to covet the Li Family’s daughter-in-law, he would not stand idly by.”
He Wuya secretly contacted the Emperor Changye, trying to join forces to eliminate the Li Family ancestor.
The Emperor Changye came…
He walked right into the trap.
He Wuya turned coat at the last minute, and together with the Li Family ancestor, severely wounded the Emperor Changye. They then publicized to the world the Emperor Changye’s Lifebound Talisman Character of “Tyrant,” causing even the Sea Break Sect, which initially wanted to meddle, to hesitate.
The Emperor Changye returned, wanting to kill General Ruimu.
But General Ruimu had long fled and now joined the Crane Spirit Sect.
The parties were in deadlock, but due to the Emperor Changye needing to recover, hostility would be temporarily set aside for at least a century.
In a nutshell…
The situation was such that Song Yan could return safely, but the Li Patriarch faced approaching death.
