Chapter 95: Do Not Waste a Dime_l

All parties understood that by doing this, the Daqian Empire was showing off its strength, signaling that it was a tough bone to chew. Anyone who clashed head-on with the Daqian Empire would end up with both sides suffering, to the advantage of a third party.

The Daqian Empire showcased its sharp edge, instantly suppressing the movements of various major forces, nearly dissipating the storm that was on the verge of erupting.

But everyone knew that the storm hadn’t dissipated; it had only shifted from the open to the shadows. On the surface, all seemed calm, but underneath, the undercurrents surged violently, gradually brewing and growing, until their eventual outbreak would be even more fierce.

Qingyun Manor, ERhai.

Lu Tianxiang’s delicate jade feet idly swayed in the sea, her expression somewhat vacant; the incident had given her a great shock.

After returning to the Chaotic Domain, she knew that the forces behind her would launch a second wave of actions against the Daqian Empire, causing further chaos.

Should they succeed, the Commissioners of Daqian as well as other Grandmasters would feel threatened. Even the major Sects would waver in their loyalty. Then, initiating a third wave of action would be enough to completely disrupt the Daqian Empire.

The ideal was plump, but reality was skeletal.

Although they had succeeded in assassinating the Commissioner of Sanzhou, the three Great Grandmasters who had gone to carry out the assassination had all died; the loss was too great.

Two late-stage and one mid-stage Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, in exchange for one mid-stage Commissioner of Daqian, was definitely a bad deal.

The most critical issue was that with Prince Wu’an’s action this time, by killing three Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he had severely deterred various forces.

With two punches, he had killed three powerful Grandmasters of the Myriad

Phenomena Realm; this was without a doubt the combat ability of the True Martial Realm. The Daqian Empire might have already harbored strength of the True Martial Realm, and now that there was an additional True Martial power, their prowess had greatly increased.

In such a situation, not only would the interior of the Daqian Empire stabilize further, but also the major external forces would become more cautious, not daring to act rashly.

“I really don’t want to go back,” Lu Tianxiang sighed.

If she found the Rebirth Pill, even with the allure of subsequent cultivation techniques, she would still be uncertain, primarily because that existence was too dangerous.

But this great battle made Lu Tianxiang realize that she was still very weak. Even as Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, the gaps among them were as vast as the heavens and the earth.

The three Grandmasters slain by Prince Wu’an had each been much stronger than her. Previously, she thought she could withstand three moves; now, it seemed she would be killed in one.

Hiding in Leizhou was nearly under Prince Wu’an’s very nose, too dangerous. She must enhance her strength.

That existence held the opportunity to rapidly increase her strength in his hands, whether it was subsequent cultivation techniques, powerful martial skills, or other great benefits.

Yinyang Sect.

Black Tortoise City was the mega-city closest to Daqian, with tens of millions of inhabitants and numerous Cultivators, all of whom practiced Devil Cultivation Techniques.

In the master’s mansion, the yellow-robed Third Elder was drinking tea.

Sitting opposite him was another person who faintly possessed the aura of a Grandmaster, with a deep and unshakable presence between the two.

“I didn’t expect him to have come this far,” the Third Elder said with a bit of a

gloomy expression.

He had once fought against Prince Wu’an. At that time, he was in the late stage of the Hollow Void Stage while Prince Wulan was only in the mid-stage. After their fierce battle, Prince Wu’an emerged slightly superior.

This had dealt a great blow to the Third Elder. Back in the day, he was the adored genius of the Yinyang Sect, having condensed a powerful embryonic form of martial intent, possessing few adversaries in the Hollow Void Stage.

Yet, he was defeated by someone of a lower realm. That was when he Imew that Chu Hao’s martial path was stronger than his, one of the top echelons.

Both of their breakthroughs to the Myriad Phenomena Realm occurred around the same time, but Prince Wu’an had reached the pinnacle of the Myriad

Phenomena Realm fifty years earlier than he did. Now he was among the very top of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, yet Prince Wu’an possessed the combat ability of the True Martial Realm.

The disparity in strength between the two was growing wider, and this had struck a blow to Elder Three’s conviction time and again.

The person opposite him was silent, and only after a long while did they sigh and say, “Combat ability in the True Martial Realm is really terrifying, isn’t it? Even we, who are top-tier Great Grandmasters, probably couldn’t withstand more than three moves.”

“Alas,” Elder Three also sighed, as certain thoughts in his mind were extinguished.

If there were no turning point in the situation, he didn’t plan to get involved in the opportunity that Prince Wu’an was waiting for. Going there would be tantamount to courting death.

He knew that the mastermind behind the assassination was the mysterious forces behind Mother Wusheng, and those forces had lost three powerful Great Grandmasters this time. He didn’t know whether a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu would come.

If there were, then there would be a chance to fish in troubled waters. As long as there was an opportunity, he didn’t want to give it up, after all, it was a great opportunity that even Prince Wu’an was keeping an eye on, an opportunity that could enhance the quality of the Martial True Pill.

If he could obtain it, he could jump to the Third Grade True Elixir in one fell swoop and ascend to the True Martial Realm, his strength would catch up with Prince Wu’an, or even surpass him.

Lingjun City, Han Mansion.

“This world is too dangerous, I should just keep lying low.”

Han Li held a jade stone in his hand, which contained intelligence about the recent great battle. After reading it, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Three Great Grandmasters—each one much stronger than him—joined forces to strike and were still blown away by Prince Wu’an with just two punches. That’s damn scary.

He originally thought that with the combat ability of a threshold Myriad Phenomena Realm, he would be considered an influential figure in the Daqian Empire. Now it seemed that his strength was still lacking.

He mustn’t act rashly, for one slip-up could lead to catastrophe.

Prince Wu’an was the Daqian Empire’s openly acknowledged True Martial Realm combat power, but there might be genuine True Martial Realm rulers hidden in the shadows of the empire.

He was not strong enough now and needed to continue to develop discreetly.

When he reached the True Martial Realm, there would be few in the Daqian Empire who could threaten him, and by the time he reached the Divine Yuan Realm, he should be able to dominate the empire.

At that time, the entire Daqian Empire would have to hold Han Li in high esteem. He wouldn’t need to hide his strength, the Han Mansion would be able to develop rapidly, and he could take his pick from the empire’s high-talented and attractive ladies, which would accelerate his power progression even more.

But the most pressing issue was to move house.

This time, Prince Wu’an’s punches had created a brief period of peace, causing a tranquil lull in the Daqian Empire and giving Han Li more time to develop in stability.

However, Han Li knew that this was only temporary. The mysterious forces that had lost three Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters would likely not let things rest and after the brief calm, they would stir up an even greater storm, possibly striking the Daqian Empire with the force of thunder.

Prince Wu’an’s Huozhou would bear the brunt of this. There might be a True

Martial Realm Emperor Wu who would come looking for trouble, and if two True Martial Realm powers fought there, Leizhou could easily be affected. It would be best to move as soon as possible.

Han Li decided that it was still best to move to Yuanzhou, which would be tranquil for many years to come and was an excellent opportunity for relocation.

With the Commissioners of Yuanzhou, Jizhou, and Luzhou assassinated, the Daqian Empire would have to send another Great Grandmaster to replace them, but this would take time.

The Great Grandmasters of the Daqian Empire were few and each had their own duties. With a Commissioner of Sanzhou missing, the empire would need to weigh the pros and cons to transfer someone from a less critical position.

This was advantageous for Han Li, as once he moved to Yuanzhou, he would have more time to develop.

As long as he grew strong enough, any conspiracy or scheming would be futile against him, and he would be able to suppress any storm with just one hand.

PSI: I originally wanted to put the book on the shelf next Wednesday, but the editor said it’s not good at the end of the month, so it was changed to next Saturday, the 1st, so it could compete on the new book monthly ticket rankings and power rankings.

For my first book, I’m updating with over ten thousand more words in the free chapters as a way of showing gratitude for everyone’s support toward a new author.

PS2: I’ve been feeling unwell all day today, not with frequent urination or pain, but with nausea and dizziness, and I haven’t been able to write. Fortunately, I had some manuscripts saved up..
