The intelligence described: The origins of this person are unknown, as is their age. They specialize in a very rigid and masculine style of palm technique and have cultivated a formidable protective body cultivation technique. When they mobilize their power, their entire body turns to gold, indestructible, with a protective aura that can rebound damage.

They once severely injured the Mother of No Birth and stealthily attacked Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong, heavily wounding two Great Grandmasters with four palm strikes. Their spiritual sense is powerful, and their speed is extremely fast, suspected to be a late-stage Great Grandmaster of the Myriad

Phenomena Realm.

The intelligence calls this mysterious Great Grandmaster’s palm technique and protective body cultivation technique unrecorded, as no cultivator has been seen using them before. But Yun Miaoyi thought to herself, “You may not know, but I do.”

This mysterious Great Grandmaster’s protective body cultivation technique is simply identical to Han Li’s. A large reason why she and Jiang Baiye were captured was their inability to break through Han Li’s protective body cultivation technique.

“This person must be Han Li’s master, right?” Yun Miaoyi thought to herself, not quite believing her own speculation.

Deep down, she had a nagging feeling that Han Li was this mysterious Great Grandmaster. Even though there was a vast difference in their levels of cultivation, her sixth sense was telling her so.

Thinking about how that straggler Han Li, a cultivator at the God Refining Realm, was hiding in a small county town, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to suddenly make incredible progress if he found some opportunity.

Yun Miaoyi really wanted to expose Han Li, but she dared not. One reason was because of her previous oath, and the other was the worry that Han Li would come looking for trouble.

Now Han Li was a Great Grandmaster, and she was still in the God Refining Realm. The difference in strength was like heaven and earth. If she exposed herself, and Han Li came for retribution at the Yinyang Sect, she would be in a dire situation, as she couldn’t stay behind sect doors forever.

On the surface, she and Han Li had settled their grudges, and although Han Li had become more powerful, he hadn’t sought her out for trouble. Yun Miaoyi felt she shouldn’t willingly walk into a problematic situation.

“Sigh-” Yun Miaoyi sighed. She feared she would never be able to escape the shadow of Old Devil Han in this lifetime.

Qingzhou, Canghai Sect.

Jiang Baiye also received the same intelligence as Yun Miaoyi, and even his thoughts were similar to hers. He too suspected that the mysterious Great Grandmaster was Han Li.

“Sigh-”

Jiang Baiye also sighed, almost in sync with Yun Miaoyi.

If it really was Han Li, could the Body-Cultivating Furnace still be retrieved? Jiang Baiye felt it was doubtful.

Now the Sect was facing a major crisis, with several larger sects eyeing them hungrily, looking for an opportunity to obliterate the Canghai Sect.

The other major factions in Qingzhou had secretly formed an alliance, supported by Ji Feng Hall in the background. The Canghai Sect wanted to strike first, but the Daqian Empire intervened, citing special circumstances and forbidding infighting.

The Daqian Empire was clearly favoring the other factions, leaving the Canghai Sect surrounded by enemies. Otherwise, with the combined force of the factions aligned against them, it wouldn’t be a match for the Canghai Sect. If the Sect Leader took action, he could easily determine the outcome of the battle.

The upper echelons of the Canghai Sect knew why the Daqian Empire was acting this way; it was nothing more than using external pressure from Ji Feng Hall and others to force the Canghai Sect onto the Daqian Empire’s ship.

As long as the Canghai Sect fully sided with the Daqian Empire, Daqian could help them smooth things over with the other sects, then assist the Canghai Sect in suppressing the other sects, leveraging one force against another, thereby bringing the major factions under its control.

“Perhaps I should go find Han Li and see if I can get the Body-Cultivating Furnace back earlier?” Jiang Baiye mulled over this thought in his mind.

Everything started because of the Body-Cultivating Furnace. If it was returned, the other sects would likely stop their advances, and Daqian would no longer have an excuse to apply pressure.

But how could the Body-Cultivating Furnace be retrieved?

Han Li is suspected to be a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, so she absolutely could not take action against him, and now it is too late to tell the Sect Master the truth.

“It seems this is the only option…” Jiang Baiye pursed her red lips, her silver hair fluttering, her elegant hair resembling a misty cloud, as she silently made up her mind.

Tianxuan Mountain,

Ever since watching the battle last night, Gongsun Yun had a sleepless night, continuously pondering one question.

Was that mysterious Great Grandmaster really Han Li or not.

The person did not use the martial techniques of Tianxuan Mountain, nor was there any carelessness in the operation of their cultivation technique, but Gongsun Yun still discovered something amiss, suspecting that the person’s cultivation technique was the strongest in Tianxuan Mountain—the Tianxuan Scripture.

As the Sect Leader of Tianxuan Mountain, he was extremely familiar with his own sect’s cultivation techniques, and no matter how much the person tried to conceal it, it was futile.

The last time Han Li returned to the mountain to bid him farewell, Gongsun Yun had found himself unable to see through Han Li’s cultivation level and suspected that he had reached the Hollow Void Stage.

Now, he felt he had been too conservative in his estimation. Han Li might have cultivated to the Myriad Phenomena Realm and become a Great Grandmaster.

Gongsun Yun thought he was quite adept at hiding his own powers, having ascended to the Myriad Phenomena Realm thirty years ago, revealing only the cultivation level of the Hollow Void Stage to the outside world, with no one aware of the truth. Yet, he didn’t expect this closed-door disciple to be even better at concealing.

A high and mighty Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and yet he constantly disguised himself as a cultivator of the Pihai Realm or the Gangyuan Realm—it was truly shameless.

Huozhou City, Royal Manor.

Prince Wu’an’s face was grim as he stared at Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong, really wanting to slap both to death—useless men who did more harm than good in their undertakings.

Wasn’t it better to kill the Mother of No Life right away? But they had to think about capturing her alive, leading to unexpected troubles, causing him embarrassment.

After calming down, Prince Wu’an also began speculating about the origins of the mysterious Great Grandmaster.

It’s very difficult to achieve the Myriad Phenomena Realm. It didn’t make sense for a Great Grandmaster in the late stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm to suddenly appear. This person likely came from outside the Xuan Domain and might have the backing of a formidable power.

The thought of another top-level power entering the fray made Prince Wu’an somewhat restless. The situation was already unfavorable for the Daqian Empire; the introduction of another top-level power might turn the Qian Dynasty’s planning into nothing.

Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong were on tenterhooks, having repeatedly failed to perform effectively. They were genuinely worried that Prince Wu’an might take harsh measures; their identities as cultivators in the Myriad Phenomena Realm seemed to hold little sway in his eyes.

Fortunately, Prince Wu’an did not lay hands on them but merely said indifferently, “I can overlook your faults for now, but if you perform poorly again, I will slap you to death with one blow.”

It was a critical time to need people, and he had been eagerly waiting for an opportunity to emerge; the two Great Grandmasters still had some usefulness.

“We will certainly redeem ourselves with our contributions,” said Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong respectfully, and then they withdrew.

Prince Wu’an turned to look at Master Lan, who immediately spoke, “Prince, I have not performed well in my duties, failing to track down that person, allowing him to disrupt Wan and Yang’s operation. Please punish me, Prince.”

Prince Wu’an waved his hand dismissively, “Enough, you can’t be blamed for this, the person is too sly.”

“It’s rare for someone to get the better of me. I hope he doesn’t show up again; otherwise, I will definitely give him a punch to remember,” the prince said.

Master Lan secretly sighed in relief. Ever since Prince Wu’an arrived in Huozhou City, he had become increasingly difficult to serve, his temper ever on the rise.

Could it be because of the region?

Huozhou, Huozhou City—are the cultivators living here all so hot- tempered?

Leizhou, Zhending Manor.

Within a carriage at the center of the migrating caravan, a shrill scream was heard, blocked by the surrounding Barrier and failing to reach the outside world.

Inside the carriage, Lu Tianxiang glared at Han Li, indignantly saying, “Han Li, didn’t you say you wouldn’t act rashly?”

“What are you doing?”

Lu Tianxiang trembled with anger; she should never have believed Han Li’s lies.
