BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100 - 100 Departure_l
Today, Spirit Balance City was especially bustling.
In the past, such commotion was due to the Han Family’s patriarch taking a concubine; today’s stir was also related to the Han Family, as they were set to
officially relocate.
Within Spirit Balance City, countless citizens hurried to spread the word, all making their way to the city outskirts, hoping to make one last effort to persuade the Han Family to stay.
The numerous powers within the city were thrilled—finally, the Han Family was leaving. Those with marital ties to the Han Family sent emissaries to see them off, while other forces were already sharpening their knives, ready to divide up the Han Family’s territory.
Outside Spirit Balance City, a procession stretched over ten miles—the convoy of Han Mansion’s migration. Han Li’s concubines and descendants were all seated in carriages, surrounded by guards mounted on tall horses protecting them.
The entire convoy consisted of nearly five thousand people; Han Li’s concubines and descendants alone numbered six to seven hundred. Including their spouses and concubines, the count was even higher. The rest were maids, servants, guards, guest elders, and so forth.
The common folk who tried to approach were blocked by the guards, indifferent to their cries and pleas. Only relatives by marriage were allowed to come closer to bid farewell.
This might be the last time they would see each other in this life; separated by several provinces, those below the Pihai Realm could neither contact nor meet.
Han Li’s carriage was positioned in the middle of the convoy, a deliberate arrangement on his part to take care of the entire procession and prevent any loss from ambushes.
To Han Li, the death of maids and guards was not a cause for grief. With some gold and Spirit Stones, he could recruit more. They all had signed contracts; even in death, their families would receive compensation, and they had been given a generous resettlement fee before the move.
These maids and guards were either orphans or not their families’ only child, nor did they have wives or children in Spirit Balance City, so they could follow the Han Mansion to Yuanzhou.
If Han Li lost his concubines or descendants, however, he would be grieved, for they were the foundation for establishing the family in Yuanzhou and the continuous source of advancement in cultivation and rewards.
Han Li’s carriage, while outwardly no different from the others, was many times more comfortable inside, with top-notch materials and decorations throughout.
Each carriage in the convoy was drawn by two precious steeds, each containing a trace of the Demon Clan’s bloodline and possessing Rebirth Realm strength, capable of traveling more than five thousand miles a day.
The carriages of certain key figures were drawn by two precious steeds with True Qi Realm strength, and Han Li’s carriage was even better, with two steeds at the Innate Realm, practically members of the Demon Clan themselves.
It wasn’t that Han Li couldn’t buy better steeds, but that he shouldn’t.
Purchasing a large number of steeds at the Innate or even Pihai Realm would easily draw attention to Han Li. The Han Family’s moving procession was enormous and not quiet.
The greater the number, the more likely they were to attract trouble, leading to continuous problems on the migration route—something Han Li did not wish to see.
Moreover, purchasing such steeds required strength—a Great Master at the Gangyuan Realm was not enough; a genuine God Refining Realm elder would need to intervene.
In Han Li’s view, there was little use in buying them—they were just for pulling carriages. Should they encounter a crisis, what good would the strength of the Pihai or Gangyuan Realm do?
If attacked, and he couldn’t beat the assailants, he could only wrap up everyone and flee.
With combat ability approaching the threshold of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, escaping with five thousand people was not difficult for him; the speed would not decrease much, and at least those in the later stages of the Myriad Phenomena Realm wouldn’t be able to catch up.
This would fully reveal Han Li’s strength, but under such circumstances, there was no further need for secrecy.
For now, Han Li didn’t want to expose himself. If he were to wrap up everyone and flee to Yuanzhou, it would cause a huge commotion and countless people would witness it.
Even if he set up a Formation outside of Han Mansion to hide his tracks, and wrapped up everyone from within to flee, and no one in Spirit Balance City saw it, it would still be exposed.
Once the people of Han Mansion settled in Yuanzhou and began to expand, they would inevitably attract the attention of the powers in Yuanzhou, who would investigate their origins. Smaller powers might not be able to trace the Han Family back to Leizhou, but larger powers certainly could.
Not to mention the inscrutable Tianji Pavilion. By connecting all the dots and conducting a little analysis, they could deduce most of Han Li’s strength, and once that information was marked and available for purchase, he would be fully exposed.
Leizhou wished even more for a spatial treasure that could store people; if he had a pocket dimension, a small world of his own, that would be just perfect.
The Han Family could develop directly within this small world, and he himself could simply find a remote corner to establish a cave dwelling and scrape by. By setting up a warning formation on the outside, he could then happily cultivate within the small world.
In that way, he could hide out in the small world until the end of time. When he reemerged, he would be invincible. Just thinking about it was wonderful.
If he encountered any danger, he could just take the small world and run, an easy and convenient way to greatly reduce the risks the family’s development might face.
Unfortunately, Leizhou didn’t have one.
This carriage housed only Leizhou himself, making it convenient for him to act during the journey. When necessary, he could summon the beautiful consorts to come in and spend some time playing games to pass the time.
Now, he lay down in a comfortable position, as his Spiritual Sense surged out, gradually covering the entirety of Fengyang Manor and bringing everything into his view.
After confirming there was no danger, Leizhou then gave out the orders.
The next moment, upon receiving the order, the Han Mansion’s caravan started moving, and the Han Family began their official relocation.
Countless people in Lingjun City watched this scene with various expressions and thoughts—some were jubilant, some cursed loudly, some were mournfully saying goodbye, and others were endlessly grateful….
No matter what they were thinking, nothing could interfere with Leizhou’s decision or disrupt the Han Family’s migration.
When necessary, Leizhou wouldn’t hesitate to kill without mercy; he had never been a thoroughly good person from the beginning.
From Qingzhou to Yuanzhou, the journey was long, with Fengyang Manor situated in the south of Qingzhou, and the location Leizhou chose in Yuanzhou was a place to the east, named Yonchang Manor.
The entire route of migration involved Qingzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Yuanzhou, covering a journey of approximately two million six hundred thousand miles.
Even if the entire caravan travelled at the speed of five thousand miles per day, it would take 520 days, nearly a year and a half, and probably two years to reach Yonchang Manor in Yuanzhou if anything happened en route.
Leizhou thought this pace was acceptable, and the time spent was not excessive, given the scale of the migration spanning several provinces.
During the migration, it would not affect the expansion of the family. Before moving, the Han Mansion had already prepared an abundance of various resources, ensuring the journey would not lack supplies.
Leizhou estimated that before reaching Yonchang Manor in Yuanzhou, the number of his descendants would exceed seven hundred, and the number of descendants with talents, over two hundred.
Then his strength would further increase, advancing him to the Myriad Phenomena Realm and making him a Great Grandmaster.
With the significant increase in strength, he would be better able to protect his family and safely migrate to Yonchang Manor in Yuanzhou.
Before that, he needed to ensure the family’s safety on the migration route and clear out any tough obstacles.
He would scout ahead with his Spiritual Sense on the predetermined route. His Spiritual Sense covered an area of two hundred thousand miles in radius, rivaling many Great Grandmasters in the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Unless they were very powerful Grandmasters who deliberately concealed themselves, he would be able to detect them.
Leizhou didn’t think that those at the later or peak stages of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, nor the Gurus in the Void Realm would attack the Han Family’s migrating caravan.
After all, Grandmasters cared about their face and reputation. Who would attack the caravan of a small family?
How many treasures could a small family possess? Could they all add up to ten thousand Spirit Stones?
Those in the Hollow Void Stage wouldn’t spare them a glance, not even the Real People in the God Refining Realm, though it might be a potential windfall for a Great Master in the Gangyuan Realm..
