In the sky above Tianxuan Mountain.
Han Li quietly watched the escaping Devil Powerhouse, with no intention to pursue.
If that person hadn’t insisted on showing off in front of him, he really wouldn’t have wanted to fight. It would have been better to stay hidden and possibly reset this disguise.
Now that he had used the Seal Heaven Scripture several times, those watching from the Myriad Phenomena Realm and the True Martial Realm had taken note, and if he used the Seal Heaven Scripture again under this guise, it would be immediately recognized.
“Ah, wouldn’t it be better to be peaceful?” Han Li sighed.
His strongest disguise had been exposed, and the Devil Powerhouse had also paid a heavy price, not to mention being struck by his sword multiple times. That last blood escape was definitely going to have serious repercussions.
Otherwise, how could a mid-stage True Martial Realm powerhouse suddenly burst forth with a speed that matched that of an Emperor Wu from the Divine Yuan Realm?
It must be said, Old Ancestor Han also felt a bit envious. Although the technique had serious side effects, it was indeed a life-saving divine skill, comparable to his speed when he entered Divine Sense.
“Cough cough~”
“Thank you, senior, for your righteous assistance.”
Gongsun Yun and the others coughed up blood, forcefully suppressing their injuries, flew into the sky, and were about to respectfully salute Han Li.
With a gentle flick of his sleeve, Han Li interrupted their salutes, and they could only look at Han Li helplessly as he said indifferently:
“I have quite a connection with the Founding Ancestral Master of your Tianxuan Mountain. In the past, he took great care of me. Today, with Tianxuan Mountain in crisis, I naturally would not stand by and watch without helping. There is no need for such formalities.”
Gongsun Yun was his mentor, and the other three were all Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, each with higher cultivation levels than the last, seeming like successive heads of Tianxuan Mountain. Naturally, Han Li could not accept their salutations.
He also provided the backstory he had thought of for his disguise and deliberately connected it to the Ancestral Master of Tianxuan Mountain.
In this way, the outside world would believe that Tianxuan Mountain had gained the support of a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, and typical top-tier forces would not easily make a move against Tianxuan Mountain.
After all, there was a powerful True Martial Realm expert behind Tianxuan Mountain who almost killed a mid-stage True Martial Realm Devil Powerhouse in a disagreement.
Gongsun Yun and the others exchanged glances, puzzled about when the long-deceased Founding Ancestral Master had befriended a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, but they could only let it go and not continue the formalities.
“Senior’s kindness will never be forgotten by all within Tianxuan Mountain, throughout the ages.”
Gongsun Yun and the three Ancestral Masters said in a deep voice, their tone extremely sincere, coming straight from the heart.
Just then, they had nearly lost all hope. A mid-stage True Martial Realm Devil Powerhouse was terrifyingly potent; they had been defeated effortlessly. Had not the senior taken action, everyone in Tianxuan Mountain would have died right there.
Han Li nodded slightly, about to say something, when he saw a strikingly beautiful woman with purple hair and a purple gown flying over, stopping beside Gongsun Yun.
“Father, are you alright?”
While asking, Gongsun Yue also began healing Gongsun Yun with Gang Yuan.
“Yue girl, you only care for your father. What about us?” the three Ancestral Masters said with a sour tone; they had been seriously injured as well.
“Three Ancestral Masters, I wish I could help too, but I really can’t,” Gongsun Yue said, sticking out her tongue slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. She wanted to heal the three Ancestral Masters, but her abilities were not enough.
Just healing her father Gongsun Yun was already stretching her Gang Yuan to its limits; after all, Gongsun Yun was a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, while she was only at the Peak of Gangyuan Realm.
Seeing his beautiful senior sister appear, Han Li suddenly discovered that Gongsun Yue had such a playful side. He thought about taking out a few Spirit Pills, but he realized that the highest-quality pills he had only reached the sixth-grade level of the God Refining Realm.
A sixth-grade Spirit Pill was something he really couldn’t present; it wouldn’t fit his current status and would greatly reduce his prestige, so Han Li silently abandoned the idea.
The three Ancestral Masters were just griping; now that they were safe, they immediately took out Healing Pills to consume, all of which were Fourth Grade Spiritual Pills brought back from the Tai Xuan Sect.
Gongsun Yun stopped Gongsun Yue’s healing, also taking out two Fourth Grade Spiritual Pills to consume and refine. In no time, their auras recovered considerably, and their complexions looked much rosier.
Gongsun Yue looked towards the refined middle-aged man not far away, biting her red lips, a bold idea flashing through her mind, but she hesitated to speak it out.
Han Li glanced at his senior sister Gongsun Yue briefly before returning his gaze. Now he had to maintain the image of a lofty figure, not a lecherous ancestor, and so must maintain his prestige.
He had intentions towards Gongsun Yue, wishing his senior sister would also become his Dao companion, but he couldn’t express such desires in his current guise.
Looking at the huge flying ship below, Han Li’s Spiritual Sense conducted a sweep and a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. That was actually a spatial magical treasure. He finally understood why Tianxuan Mountain hadn’t evacuated with the Daqian Empire.
It turned out they had planned to use the Heavenly Sky Vessel to escape, bringing along everything from Tianxuan Mountain. Unfortunately, things had not gone as hoped, and they had been just a bit short of success.
“What are your plans for the future?” Han Li asked.
The three Ancestral Masters looked at Gongsun Yun, who gave a helpless smile and said, “We originally planned to leave the Qian Dynasty aboard the Heavenly Sky Vessel and settle elsewhere, but we were intercepted by that Emperor Wu from the Yinyang Sect just as we were about to leave.”
“Had it not been for the senior’s help, we would all be dead now,” Gongsun Yun said, his expression somber.
He had been a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm for quite some time, keeping it a secret and only displaying the capabilities of a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage. But even against a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, he couldn’t last for a single move, unable to protect the people of Tianxuan Mountain.
“Let’s go, I will escort you for a distance and guard your path for a hundred years,” Han Li said after hesitating for a moment.
Escorting them a distance was true, but guarding for a hundred years was false. In time, he would pretend to enter seclusion in the new Tianxuan Mountain and quietly leave.
