Chaotic Domain, Mysterious Forces.

In a dark golden great hall, several thrones floated, each representing a True Martial Realm martial king.

“We were careless, this loss was significant.”

“Prince Wu'an has kept a low profile, actually possessing the combat ability of the True Martial Realm, I suspect he already had the chance to condense the Third Grade King Grade Pill.”

“Are you saying… Prince Wu'an intends to condense the legendary King Grade True Elixir?”

“Very likely, it seems that divine opportunity is extraordinary, hence Prince Wu'an treats it with such gravity.”

“Daqian Empire has lost one in the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and we have lost three, who will go to Daqian Country to kill Prince Wu'an?”

“Impossible, we are not a local force of the Xuan Domain, sending someone from the Myriad Phenomena Realm is still feasible, but if we mobilize someone from the True Martial Realm, the Ancient Empire would not sit idly by.”

“Hmm, the Ancient Empire has always treated the Xuan Domain as their fiefdom, vigorously preventing the incursion of other domains.”

“Heh- The Buddha Domain, Dao Domain, and even the Devil Region have all infiltrated, can the Ancient Empire stop them?”

“Those three domains have been united, the Ancient Empire naturally does not dare to obstruct too much, but can we compare with those three domains?”

“Enough, indeed we need to send a True Martial Realm to take charge of the overall situation, to continue to execute the third step of the plan, as for Prince

Wu'an, we will deal with him when that opportunity emerges.”

As this voice arose, all other voices vanished, quickly unifying the opinion.

Jizhou.

rlWvo demonesses hiding in a small county town were a bit bewildered, even frightened afterwards.

They had long shaken off their pursuers and had been staying here securely for some time, they both wished to stay here forever, but an unexpected change occurred.

A terrifying great war erupted in Jizhou, and four Great Grandmasters fell consecutively, which was frightening.

The two were only God Refining Realm practitioners, such a great war was too horrifying for them, mere aftershocks could easily annihilate them.

“Shall we… leave Jizhou?” the purple-dressed lady trembled as she spoke.

The yellow-dressed beauty nodded, she too felt remnants of fear, so she said, “Prince Wu'an is in Huozhou, and Leizhou is within his jurisdiction, it's best we do not go there.”

“If we don't go to Leizhou, how can we travel to the Yinyang Sect and transfer to the Da Liang Empire?” the purple-dressed lady asked.

“Let's not go to the Da Liang Empire for now, let's head to Yuanzhou to lay low, far from the Three States under Prince Wu'an's control,” the yellow-dressed beauty thought for a moment before saying.

The purple-dressed lady pondered for a while and agreed; Yuanzhou was only one state away from the Imperial Capital located in Yuanzhou, so if there was a chance, they could return to the Capital City and complete their unfinished mission.

Imperial Capital of Daqian.

A significant imperial court meeting was convened, with participants all being heavyweights of the Daqian Empire.

Emperor Qian, Left Minister of Daqian, Mentor of Daqian, Daqian National

Teacher, Prophet of the Imperial Astronomer, Head Supervisor of the Jingye

Office, Great General, pillars of the Direct Lineage for state defense, Grand Internal Supervisor – this was a meeting with only nine people, eight participating and one observing.

Nine individuals, representing the highest power and status from nine aspects of Daqian, and their every word and action profoundly affected the operation of the Qian Dynasty.

The theme of the court meeting was none other than the Battle of Jizhou; it kicked off with endless debates, with proponents, opponents, and neutrals regarding Prince Wu'an's actions.

The supporters argued: Although Daqian had lost one regional commander,

Prince Wu'an thunderously slain three Great Grandmasters, displaying True Martial Realm's combat ability, sufficient to deter those covetous great forces, consolidate the allegiance of domestic sects, and secure more time for the Qian Dynasty.

The opponents argued: Prince Wu'an should not have killed those three Great Grandmasters; it would have been better to capture them alive, for such actions could exacerbate tensions and possibly provoke the True Martial Realm of that mysterious force to act, leading to greater and more numerous upheavals, ultimately endangering the Qian Dynasty.

The neutrals argued: Prince Wu'an's show of strength was good, but killing the three Great Grandmasters was indeed thoughtless, likely to trigger larger disturbances; however, since it has already happened, they should make preparations and face it calmly.

Watching these high-powered figures argue until their faces turned red and they nearly came to blows, Emperor Qian couldn't help but feel torn between laughter and tears.

At last, unable to bear it, Emperor Qian made the final judgment, “When it's time to strike and kill, one must not be lenient, and when compromise is needed, some concessions can be made. Let it be known far and wide to deter all sides.”

The court assembly dispersed, leaving the building empty except for two people.

Emperor Qian sat alone, with the Grand Internal Supervisor standing by his side, silent from the beginning to the end.

Thinking of Prince Wu'an, Emperor Qian's eyes deepened with an inexplicable tint, and he ultimately sighed.

As the crown prince, he was inferior to Emperor Wu in every aspect. The outside world believed he ascended the throne through certain means. After his enthronement, he even suppressed Emperor Wu, committing many dishonorable actions.

But what was the reality…

He was forced to ascend, bearing various pressures to allow Prince Wu'an to fade from the limelight and devote himself to cultivation. Once Prince Wu'an achieved the True Martial Realm, Emperor Qian would abdicate in his favor.

How was this different from being a puppet?

Yet, he had no choice but to do so, whether it was because of the pressure from the ancestors or for his own future, he had to temporarily shoulder this responsibility.

In the Imperial Capital, several buildings towered high enough to overlook the entire city, one of which was the Imperial Astronomer.

At this moment, the Prophet stood at the highest point of the Imperial Astronomer, observing the city's atmosphere, glancing unintentionally towards the residence of the Left Minister.

Afterward, he used the fortune of the entire Daqian Country as a guide to calculate the future of Daqian, which exhausted a great deal of his energy, causing the Prophet to age significantly.

“Leizhou.”

He exhaled, concluding the answer he had discerned from the unknown. “It seems that the opportunity lies in Leizhou…” A glimmer of insight flashed in the Prophet's eyes.

Prince Wu'an's fate was tied to the future of Daqian. If he could seize that opportunity, he would surely refine the legendary King Grade Pill, and after advancing to the True Martial Realm, his strength would rapidly soar to the peak, making him an invincible force in all directions.

Not only could he resolve the crisis in Daqian, but he could also elevate the Qian Dynasty to new heights.

In Lingjun City, at Han Mansion.

It had been ten days since the great battle in Jizhou, and Han Li had decided to officially move to Yuanzhou ten days later.

Since deciding to move, more than ten days had passed, with Han Mansion continuously preparing various matters, and now more than half were already prepared.

The descendants of the Han Family cultivating in Fengyang Manor and the surrounding manors and sects had been mostly notified and those willing to return had begun their journey back.

Only Tianxuan Mountain had not been informed yet. There were several of Han Li's children in Tianxuan Mountain, all with talents of the seventh or eighth grade. Because the distance was too great, Han Li did not send word.

He decided to visit Tianxuan Mountain one more time, to bring back those descendants and also to meet his master, Gongsun Yun.

After moving to Yuanzhou, the distance to Tianxuan Mountain would become even greater, and the glory of Tianxuan Mountain could not cast its light there. Han Li would be even less likely to return often.

This might be his last time returning to Tianxuan Mountain in this life.

After arranging everything and informing his concubines, Han Li set off, vanishing from Lingjun City in a flash.

He no longer deliberately concealed his strength. The move to Yuanzhou, in his concubines' view, was fraught with risk. The Han Family's strength was not sufficient to move across states, but since their lord Han Li had made the decision, they could only comply.

Thus, Han Li decided to boost their confidence a little. He would not reveal his true cultivation level; let them guess instead. It might also reduce some troubles.

Many of his concubines had families behind them and occasionally had contact with their maternal homes. It was possible that they might inadvertently reveal something.

If the outside world knew he had grown stronger but did not know the extent of his strength, they certainly could not guess that he was a master at the peak of the Hollow Realm. This could also bring some benefits to the Han Family.

PS: After moving, I will adjust some writing styles. Previously, high-level powerhouses appeared too quickly, such as the Great Emperor, Heavenly Immortals, Dragon Maidens, Prince Wu'an, the Three Elders, etc.

The Great Emperor and the Heavenly Immortals, among others, will not affect the protagonist for a long time, so it's not a big problem; but Dragon Maidens, Prince Wu'an, the Three Elders, and even Lu Tianxiang's realms are all higher than the protagonist's, adding undue pressure.

Although the protagonist's advancement speed is also fast, there is always a sense of urgency. Later on, I will write more about the protagonist's realm advantages, involving Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, the two demonesses, and other characters.

The fast-paced nature of this book and the quick progression of the timeline mean that a lot of content is only briefly touched upon, appearing somewhat pale and weak.
