Chapter 39: The Great Qian's Martial Peaceful Prince

Qingzhou, Dianyuan Prefecture.

There is a very secretive stronghold here, where the Undying Mother and the White Lotus Sect's Law King are hiding.

They have been jumping between Qingzhou and Huozhou, making it difficult for the powerful forces of the court to besiege them. Even if checkpoints are set up at the border, the two can easily escape.

Both of them are very cautious. Every time they go to a place to hide, they never stay for more than half a month before immediately changing their stronghold.

Even so, they have been hunted down by the Great Qian Dynasty time and time again, unable to shake them off. This has made the Undying Mother extremely frustrated, as she has no time to spread her teachings.

Fortunately, their injuries have gradually healed over the years, otherwise their situation would have been even more miserable.

"When did we go to Leizhou and kill a Vital Spirit Realm cultivator from the Hehuan Sect?"

They only learned about this news half a year later and were completely dumbfounded. They couldn't just shift the blame like this.

For the past five or six years, they have been busy running away and have never been to Leizhou. How could they have assassinated Cui Pingyu? This is definitely a setup.

But they also know that they are the ones who have to take the blame for this, and there is no way to explain it. They dare not come forward to explain, so they can only hold a grudge.

If they encounter the real culprit in the future, they will definitely kill them on the spot to vent their anger.

Huozhou, the capital city.

At this moment, a group of important figures are gathering here, whispering to each other and occasionally looking towards the direction of the capital city, as if they are waiting for someone important.

The powerful individuals waiting here include: Wan Guiyuan, the Three Prefectures' Military Governor; Yang Tianxiong, one of the four Grand Commanders of the Jingye Department; the Garrison Commander of Huozhou, the Garrison Commander of Qingzhou, the Garrison Commander of Leizhou, and several other Empty Void Grandmasters.

"Wan Xiong, we have really lost face this time," Yang Tianxiong, the Grand Commander of the Jingye Department, said with a bitter tone.

Wan Guiyuan, the Military Governor of the Three Prefectures, had the same expression, as if he had just been caught in a lie.

The two of them, both mid-stage Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters, plus three Empty Void Grandmasters, have been chasing the Undying Mother for six years. Although they have severely injured her several times, they have never been able to capture her. She always manages to escape.

It should be noted that the Undying Mother is only in the early stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, far inferior to the two of them. They have been unable to completely eliminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, causing them to lose face.

Now the entire Great Qian Dynasty knows that they have repeatedly failed against the Undying Mother, and many powerful individuals are watching the show. Even the Qian Emperor is extremely angry.

After six years, they have still not eliminated the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, which has brought shame to the entire Xuan Domain and even spread to other regions, damaging the influence of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Some of the major powers in the Xuan Domain, who had originally restrained themselves, are now becoming restless, waiting for an opportunity to uncover the veil of the Great Qian Dynasty's strength and create a new storm.

At this critical moment, the Kuroyuri Temple, the Yin Yang Sect, and even the mortal enemy of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Great Jing Dynasty, have not taken any major actions.

The White Lotus Sect is just a pawn, behind which there is a mysterious force even stronger than the two dynasties and the two major sects.

If they were to clash with the Great Qian Dynasty first, wouldn't they become cannon fodder for that mysterious force, allowing it to reap the fruits of victory?

Amidst internal troubles and external threats, the Qian Emperor accepted the suggestion of the current Grand Tutor and dispatched the capable and highly cultivated Martial Peaceful Prince to lead the eradication of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

"Here they come."

Suddenly, Wan Guiyuan, Yang Tianxiong, and others were shaken, and they stopped communicating, instead looking towards the distance.

A war chariot came flying over, pulled by four different species of dragon-horses, each with Soul Refining cultivation, showcasing the might of the chariot's owner.

When the chariot flew closer and landed in front of the city, a strong and imposing aura spread, causing Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong to furrow their brows. However, the several Empty Void Grandmasters behind them secretly lamented.

At this moment, the overwhelming aura subsided, and a tall and heroic young man walked out of the golden chariot. He had a handsome appearance, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a full and majestic presence, and a vigorous stride that exuded both dominance and dignity.

"Pay respects to King Wu'an!"

The group of powerful individuals bowed respectfully, while only Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong, the two Grandmasters, slightly lowered their heads.

King Wu'an, Chu Hao, nodded slightly and specifically glanced at the two Grandmasters before saying, "Please rise, everyone."

Afterwards, several Grandmasters and Masters followed King Wu'an into the city of Huozhou.

On the other side, Han Li quietly returned to the city of Lingjun with Lin Yiyin, as if they had never left.

Lin Yiwu was still dressed as an old man, while Lin Yiyin was dressed as a middle-aged woman. Han Li handed Lin Yiyin over to Lin Yiwu and instructed the two women to freshen up before coming to see him.

Han Li then returned to his sleeping quarters, put the body-refining furnace back in place, and began reviewing the rescue plan.

According to the plan, he would disguise himself and go to other mansions to purchase detailed information about Cui Pingyu's whereabouts, determine his current cultivation, observe the situation in Zhenyi City, and find the opportune moment to launch an attack.

If Cui Pingyu did not leave, he would purchase a seventh-grade Breaking Formation Bead, find out where Lin Yiyin was being held captive, and then set up an ambush halfway.

He would activate the body-refining furnace to launch the first attack. If he couldn't kill Cui Pingyu, he would use the Sun-Crushing Sword Technique to fight him and kill him, without revealing the martial arts he had already used.

Afterwards, he would erase all traces of himself, deliberately leaving behind a piece of black cloth with a white lotus pattern as an explanation to the Great Qian Dynasty and to increase the difficulty of the Hehuan Sect's investigation.

Throughout the entire plan, Han Li wore a human skin mask, and underneath the mask was a disguised face. With his peak Vital Spirit Realm cultivation, even if a high-level cultivator discovered that he was wearing a human skin mask, they wouldn't be able to see his true appearance.

If any part of the plan went wrong and increased the risk, Han Li would consider whether to continue executing the plan. He absolutely couldn't be careless.

The progress of the situation also followed his plan with almost no deviation. After killing Cui Pingyu and rescuing Lin Yiyin, Han Li also heard the news coming out of Zhenyi City.

Cui Pingyu was killed by the White Lotus Sect, and the City Lord's Mansion immediately dispatched troops to hunt down the White Lotus Sect (destroying all the Hehuan Sect's strongholds) to ensure the safety of the region.

Han Li also disguised himself and went to the Tianji Tower to purchase relevant information about this matter. He discovered that even the Tianji Tower didn't know who killed Cui Pingyu.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but there was also a hint of concern in his heart. It was said that the Tianji Tower had powerful experts who could deduce the secrets of the heavens, and many top-secret information was obtained through them.

If the Hehuan Sect attached great importance to him and was willing to spend a large sum of money to have the Tianji Tower deduce the culprit, would they be able to trace it back to him?

Han Li didn't know.

But he knew that even if the Hehuan Sect did so, it would take a long time. The Hehuan Sect would first investigate on their own, and if they couldn't find any leads, only then would they be willing to pay a huge price to possibly find the culprit.

He just needed to continue cultivating peacefully and break through to the Empty Void Realm. The threat from the Hehuan Sect would not be significant to him.

At this moment, a maid came to report that Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin had finished changing and were waiting for the next arrangement.
