Chapter 56: Big Trouble

Lingjun City, Han Residence.

Han Li silently passed through the large formation and entered the backyard.

Autumn Moon Yao, Lin Yiwu, and Lin Yinyin, who were resting in the garden, were initially startled by the sudden appearance of Han Li's figure. However, their faces soon lit up with joy as they gathered around him.

"Husband, you're finally back!" said Lin Yiwu.

"Husband, I missed you so much!" said Lin Yinyin.

"Husband, did you miss Yao'er?" asked Autumn Moon Yao.

Han Li hugged each of them and kissed them before saying, "I've been thinking about all of you day and night while I was at Tianxuan Mountain."

"Stop lying, if you missed us, you wouldn't only come back once a year," Lin Yinyin pouted.

"But there were important matters at Tianxuan Mountain," Han Li rubbed her little head and pinched her cheek.

"Are you safe, husband?" Lin Yiwu asked with a hint of nervousness, afraid that Han Li might have been injured.

Han Li shook his head and said, "No, I even gained some opportunities."

"That's great!" Autumn Moon Yao smiled happily. With Han Li's newfound opportunities, his cultivation would surely improve.

News of Han Li's return quickly spread, and Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and other concubines came out to welcome and greet him.

Han Li chatted with them for a while and warned them not to spread the news of his return for the time being.

Otherwise, the two women who had ambushed him would directly come to Lingjun City, which wouldn't be good.

Back in his sleeping quarters, Han Li pondered how to deal with those two enemies.

Worried about being discovered, Han Li only observed from a distance. He knew that the two women were at the early stage of Soul Refining, but he wasn't sure which level exactly. Most likely, they were at the first level, or else they would have sensed his surveillance.

The two women appeared to be young and talented, likely from a major sect. They must have learned top-notch techniques and martial arts, far surpassing Han Li's own skills.

Han Li had the Indestructible Diamond Body Technique, which was at the perfect level. Two early-stage Soul Refining cultivators wouldn't be able to break through his protective Qi, allowing him to stand undefeated.

Furthermore, he possessed the formidable Step of the Heavenly Gang, which allowed him to travel thousands of miles in a single step, making it impossible for the two Soul Refining cultivators to catch up to him.

When he sensed the ambush, he didn't rush in directly. Firstly, he was afraid of alerting them, and secondly, he was concerned that they might have set up a formation.

He had three Breaking Formation Beads, so even if there was a formation, he could escape. The two women didn't know his true cultivation level, so it was highly unlikely that they would set up a formation. However, caution was still necessary.

If he had to fight, he would prefer to choose the battlefield himself and make some preparations in advance.

Before that, he needed to know whether these two women were disciples of the Tuo Tai Pill or the Yang Shen Stove, so that he could respond accordingly.

In the next moment, Han Li disappeared from the Han Residence and reappeared in the Zhenyi Residence.

At this moment, he had changed his appearance and disguised himself. With his cultivation level, it was impossible for an expert of the Empty Void Grandmaster level to see through his disguise.

Entering the Tianji Tower, Han Li described the appearance of the two women and purchased the corresponding information, spending a large sum of spirit stones to understand the seriousness of the situation.

"This is a big trouble."

In the Han Residence, Han Li looked at the two jade slips containing the recorded information, his expression extremely grave.

The jade slips contained the general information about the two women, and Han Li also knew why they had come. They were both causing trouble because of the Yang Shen Stove.

Jiang Baiye: 72 years old, fourth-grade aptitude, first level of Soul Refining, a core disciple of the Canghai Sect, one of the top ten sects of the Great Qian Dynasty, ranked third. He cultivated the "Canghai True Scripture" and mastered various Earth Grade martial arts such as the "Heavenly Sword Technique" and the "Canghai Sword Scripture." He excelled in swordsmanship and his strength was comparable to that of a mid-stage Soul Refining cultivator.

Yun Miaoyi: 76 years old, fourth-grade aptitude, first level of Soul Refining, a core disciple of the Yin Yang Sect. She cultivated the "Extreme Yin Divine Canon" and mastered various Earth Grade martial arts such as the "Yin Yang Great Palm" and the "Three Yin Calamity Finger." Her strength was also comparable to that of a mid-stage Soul Refining cultivator.

"Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi."

Han Li murmured their names, his expression extremely serious.

Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi both come from major sects and have similar strength, comparable to the mid-stage of the ordinary Soul Refining realm. However, Han Li is not worried about this aspect.

Even if he were to fight against the two women, they would not be able to break through his protective aura and capture him.

But he is concerned that they have set their sights on the body-nourishing furnace in his possession, and it won't be easy to shake them off.

He cannot afford to offend either the Canghai Sect behind Jiang Baiye or the Yin Yang Sect behind Yun Miaoyi.

"Why have these two people targeted me?"

Han Li carefully recalled the situation. When he killed Lu Renbin, he had completely destroyed the body and even thoroughly cleaned up the traces of the battle.

Han Li speculated that the suspicion was most likely caused by the first battlefield. In order to confuse others, he did not destroy the body, but now he realizes that he made a mistake.

When he killed the seven wandering cultivators, he used palm techniques and archery, which did not match his previous expertise and Li Deshun's proficiency in spear techniques.

Under normal circumstances, no one would come forward for these wandering cultivators, and they would not specifically investigate these inconsistencies.

But once a serious investigation is conducted, these discrepancies become obvious. The martial arts skills used by the two women do not match, but they happen to be the ones killed by him and Li Deshun. The doubts are too obvious.

"It seems that showing off one's strength will only invite trouble." Han Li smiled bitterly and roughly guessed what was going on.

He was still not cautious enough and not careful enough. The main reason was that he hadn't taken action for too long, which led to leaving such obvious clues, making Han Li secretly vigilant.

If he can avoid fishing, he will avoid it. He should be more careful. Even if there is a 90% chance of success, he absolutely cannot take the risk of exposing his strength.

At this moment, in Han Li's mind, a 90% chance of success is equivalent to certain death.

Participating in the gathering of wandering cultivators, he felt very confident. With his cultivation level, he could suppress the entire scene, and he was 90% sure that he could fish without exposing himself.

But in fact, he might have already been exposed. After all, the two women wouldn't have thought of using the Han family to threaten him if they didn't know his whereabouts and weaknesses.

Fortunately, he has hidden his strength well. When he went to Tianxuan Mountain, he was already at the peak of the Vital Spirit realm, and after returning, he broke through to the Soul Refining realm, greatly increasing his strength.

Otherwise, he would have already been caught by those two little girls.

Rescuing Lin Yiyin and killing Cui Pingyu, he had the same thoughts. He went ahead with a 90% chance of success, although he hadn't been exposed for the time being, there was still a slight risk.

Once discovered by the Hehuan Sect, he would be in big trouble.

In the past few decades, life had been too smooth after he obtained the golden finger. A sense of complacency rose in his heart without him realizing it. In simple terms, he was arrogant and thought he would never be exposed, thinking that his hidden strength was enough.

And then this crisis happened.

The more Han Li thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his mind became clearer. He decided to be more cautious from now on, to be more careful, and not to do anything without absolute certainty.

Once done, it would leave traces, and one day it would be traced back by others. After all, he didn't know much about the methods of those major forces. Who knows if there are any hidden tracking methods?

He's not even at the True Martial realm, so why bother going out and causing trouble?
