Chapter 78 - 78 Prince Wu l an’s Moves_l



After much contemplation, Han Li came up with several solutions.

First, Han Li could eliminate the demon in secret before the slaughter began, as long as his true identity was not exposed, there wouldn’t be any trouble.

Secondly, return to Tianxuan Mountain and request Gongsun Yun to stay in Lingjun City for a while, until the demon finishes slaughtering the city and either escapes or is killed by the Daqian Court.

Thirdly, rely on luck.

Fourth, move away.

All four solutions had their advantages and disadvantages, leaving Han Li somewhat hesitant.

The first method had three issues, such as Han Li not knowing the exact location of the demon, whether he could quickly suppress the demon with his strength, and whether a higher-up from the Devil Sect was secretly paying attention and following the demon.

The likelihood of the third problem was small, and for the second, Han Li had some doubts. His defense and speed were exceptional, but he had always been somewhat lacking in his attack.

The Sword of Life Scripture was only a Profound Rank Top Grade, and even at the peak level, it still fell short of the power of Earth Level Martial Arts.

He had already cultivated the Yin and Yang Palm Seal to the minor achievement stage, and he could only cultivate the first half to the minor achievement level; he had completed the second form of the God Slaying Sword Technique and the second form of the Xuantian Punch.

In terms of defense, he had reached the mid to late stages of the Hollow Void Stage, his speed had reached the early stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, but his attack was only just meeting the threshold of the Hollow Void Stage.

The difference between the peak of the God Refining Realm and the Hollow Void Stage was vast, and even a Grandmaster at the Hollow Void Realm Level One had Earth Rank Magical Treasures.

A Grandmaster at the Hollow Void Realm Level One had mastered one or even several Earth Level Martial Arts to a great level of proficiency or even perfection, and they all grasped the embryonic form of the true martial meaning, which could greatly increase the power of martial arts techniques.

Han Li felt that what he currently lacked was an Earth Rank Artifact; his weapon, the Wenxuan Sword, was a Profound Rank Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, which was only at the level of the God Refining Realm and could not enhance his strength any further.

If he acquired an Earth Rank Top Grade or even a Supreme Grade weapon, his attack power could completely enter the level of the Hollow Void Stage, but where would he find a weapon at the level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm so easily?

Tianxuan Mountain probably had some, but he estimated that there were very few, perhaps only one, and it was held in the hands of the Sect Leader.

Although Han Li’s Body-Cultivating Furnace was a Heaven Rank Lower Grade

Magical Treasure, its attack power was only equivalent to an Earth-Level Lower Rank, which provided a slight improvement to his strength, and he dared not use it openly unless he reached the Myriad Phenomena Realm or the True Martial Realm.

That demon dared to infiltrate the Qi’an Dynasty and slaughter city after city, even managing to escape from Grandmasters, and although it was only in the God Refining Realm, its combat ability was estimated to be on the verge of reaching the Hollow Void Stage.

Whether he could suppress the demon quickly, Han Li was not sure, but he was clear that he did not know the location of the Devil Cultivator.

The second method also had issues, why would Gongsun Yun, a Grandmaster, come to Lingjun City, a small place, at this critical time?

If Gongsun Yun came to Lingjun City, what would happen if Tianxuan Mountain was attacked?

The third method really just depended on luck, as Leizhou was large, and the Devil Cultivator might not come to Fengyang Manor; with nearly a hundred cities in Fengyang Manor, the probability of the Devil Cultivator choosing Lingjun City to massacre was very small.

But if his luck was bad and it really happened, Han Li would definitely have to take action.

Another aspect of relying on luck was praying that the Qi’an Dynasty would kill the demon sooner rather than later.

The fourth method, although capable of resolving the dilemma, posed the question: where to move to? Moving to another manor would lead to resistance from the local forces, and there was also a risk of being in a city under attack.

Moving to another province could be even worse; at least in Leizhou, he was under the aegis of Tianxuan Mountain, but moving elsewhere would be a disaster.

After much consideration, Han Li decided to follow multiple paths at the same time.

Continue to lay low in Lingjun City to develop, waiting for his own breakthrough to the Hollow Void Stage and for the Qi’an Dynasty’s response to see if they would intensify their efforts to kill the demon.

If Han Li managed to break through to the Hollow Void Stage and the Qi’an Dynasty still hadn’t killed the demon, who was also still a threat to Lingjun

City, then he would have no choice but to secretly take him down.

If, before breaking through to the Hollow Void Stage, his luck was poor and the demon really came to Lingjun City, he would first covertly display his strength, letting the demon know Lingjun City was difficult to deal with and better off choosing another city.

If the demon continues to stubbornly seek to slaughter Lingjun City, then Han Li has no other choice but to find a way to quickly subdue and kill him.

After returning to Leizhou City, Ji Rufeng immediately discussed the matter with the Leizhou Protector General and they unanimously decided to report it. Eventually, the news reached Huozhou City, where both the Protector General of the Sanzhou and Supervisor of Jingye Office, Yang Tianxiong, were informed.

The matter was of great importance, and neither of them could make a decision. They simply reported it to Prince Wu’an and let him decide.

In the Royal Manor,

Prince Wu’an sat on a huge rock by the pond and his brow furrowed slightly upon hearing the news. Was this a deliberate test against him or an accidental occurrence?

Ordinarily, the devils of the Yinyang Sect wouldn’t dare to massacre a city unless it was within the boundaries of the Yinyang Sect; hardly any would come to the Daqian Empire to commit slaughter, as those who came were killed, with none returning successfully to the Yinyang Sect.

But in recent years, the situation in the Xuan Domain had been changing unpredictably, and the long-standing stability could be broken at any moment. The fuse was the focused attention on Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou.

In preparation for potential explosive conflicts, the Daqian Empire had retracted some of its power, causing the three provinces to maintain only a facade of calm while undercurrents surged beneath the surface.

Not long ago, the troublemaking Mother of Eternal Rest had vanished without a trace for some time, and now another devil from the Yinyang Sect had appeared, really thinking they could be bullied so easily?

The Daqian Empire’s power in Leizhou was not weak, with the Leizhou Protector General, the leader of the Jingye Office, and three Grandmasters of the Demon Suppressing Army among its forces, supported by the Protector General of the Sanzhou and the Supervisor of Jingye Office above them.

Below that, in each province city, there were more than a dozen real people in the God Refining Realm, and each manor city was presided over by a real person in the God Refining Realm. Those in the Gangyuan Realm and Pihai Realm were even more numerous.

In a manor, there were at least seventy to eighty, or as many as a hundred county cities, but the resources in county cities were too scant, so those in the Pihai Realm preferred not to stay, let alone those in the Gangyuan Realm who would converge in the manor cities.

During ordinary times, with the oversight of the Daqian Empire, disciples from the sects were restrained in various cities and rarely fought, let alone committed the inhumane act of slaughtering a city.

If someone committed a crime in a city, the Daqian Empire would directly capture the culprit. If they fled, the empire would act against the sects, maintaining their control.

These were extraordinary times, and the top combat forces of Leizhou and even Sanzhou all had their respective duties, bearing immense pressure.

Prince Wu’an and Grandmaster Lan would not act rashly, anticipating a great opportunity soon to emerge. He even requested that Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong also refrain from taking action, awaiting his orders.

In Leizhou, the Protector General was preoccupied with watching over Hehuan

Sect in Qingyun Manor and was also responsible for tracking down Mother of Eternal Rest. The Demon Suppressing Army was maintaining rule over

Leizhou, leaving only the Jingye Office free to pursue and capture the demon.

The demon didn’t dare target the manor cities, only venturing to attack county cities where the Daqian Empire’s power was significantly weaker. Some of the county rulers were in the Pihai Realm, while others were merely at the peak of the Innate Realm, with hardly any power to resist.

The real people in the God Refining Realm of the manor cities varied in strength, but most were no match for the demon, nor could they match his speed. The only person with both speed and strength far exceeding the demon was the leader of the Jingye Office.

Yet, the demon had already slaughtered seven cities, and the Jingye Office had not captured and subdued him. This was a serious problem that Prince Wu’an had to address.

If he allowed the demon to continue his massacres without the Daqian Empire taking any action, the attention focused on Sanzhou would lead to even larger movements, further forcing him into a passive position.

“Hmph, I want to see who’s causing mischief behind the scenes.”

Prince Wu’an snorted coldly. During this crucial period when the opportunity was about to present itself, he did not wish to create more trouble and preferred to quietly get through this time.

Perhaps the news of the opportunity had already been leaked, which is why these people insisted on testing him, forcing him to make an appearance, to take action. Otherwise, why would they specifically target the Daqian Empire for their massacre?

“Decree: The leaders of the Jingye Office in Qingzhou and Huozhou shall lead all the real people in the God Refining Realm to Leizhou and join forces with Ji Rufeng to capture the demon.”

“Decree: The Four Great Sects of Leizhou, including Tianxuan Mountain, Sword Cleansing Pool, True Sun Sect, and Hehuan Sect, shall provide assistance. They must not shirk their duty.”

“If the demon is not captured and killed within half a month, I will hold them accountable!”

If the Four Great Sects of Leizhou wished to spectate, he would force them to pick a side. Otherwise, he would turn against them directly. Before the opportunity arises, internal stability must be ensured.
