Chapter 455: Chapter 211 The Plan to Replace the Sacred Land! The Merger of Han Mansion and The Li Manor, The Daqian Empire Is Shaken!_1
Ten days later,
Elder Han, supporting his back, stood proud at the peak of Chengdao Peak.
During these ten days, he enjoyed his honeymoon with Ling Lingshuang, inseparable like glue, as Han Li passed on profound teachings to her, and she eagerly welcomed them.
It must be said that the flesh of someone in the Divine Yuan Realm is indeed strong enough to withstand Han Li’s unrestrained conquest. Even though Ling Lingshuang was somewhat reserved, Han Li inwardly lamented the pity, deciding to take it slow.
During this period, Han Li naturally didn’t just spend all his time on Ling Lingshuang. He also took care of Lu Tianxiang and his other beloved wives, such as Long Yue, Xue Yueqing, and Bai Keqing, and even found time to instruct his beautiful concubines Qiu Yueyao, Die Yi, and Fang Yousi.
“Hmph, you’re still too green to compete with the Elder, Ling Lingshuang.”
Thinking of Ling Lingshuang’s reluctant pregnancy, a smile appeared on Han Li’s face.
To have this child, Han Li had quite the battle of wits with Ling Lingshuang, ultimately subduing the proud beauty and barely gaining her consent to conceive.
Han Li verbally agreed to only let Ling Lingshuang have one child, but who can be certain of such matters? After the first one comes the second, the third…
Children are unexpected; we are the true love.
Regathering his thoughts, Han Li began to contemplate the unification of Han Mansion and the Li Manor.
According to his previous arrangement and the explanations given to the wives and concubines of both houses, the merger would happen after the Dangyang Mountain incident.
After the Dangyang Mountain incident, Han Li did not unite the two houses but instead married Ling Lingshuang at Han Mansion. Now, another ten days had passed.
It wasn’t that Han Li didn’t want to merge the houses, but the Dangyang Mountain incident took an unexpected turn.
Originally, Han Li thought he would craft a Dao-clone to participate in the Dangyang Mountain incident secretly, build some reputation and set a record at the various Sacred Lands. Later, he would reveal that Han Li’s true identity was that of a clone’s disciple.
By doing so, even if Han Mansion and the Li Manor were to merge and the relationship between Li Feiyu and Han Li became known, the impact would be minimized.
At that time, Han Li would be known to outsiders as a mid-stage True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, with a Divine Yuan Realm master backing him up. Thus, Han Mansion would be able to develop discreetly.
A mere True Martial Realm; major Sacred Lands would glance at him and not care further, especially since Han Li appeared uninterested in cultivation, only keen on marrying wives and concubines and quietly growing his family. They would be even less concerned.
But plans can’t keep up with changes.
In the Dangyang Mountain incident, the Red-haired monster Chen Xilai awoke and, regaining his sanity, sought to wreak havoc. Then, the shrewd master of Emperor Wu’s City appeared, making it impossible for Han Li to send a Divine Yuan Realm clone there to participate.
A Divine Yuan Realm clone going there would have simply been sending a lamb to slaughter. Even if Han Li later intervened powerfully according to the new plan, that Divine Yuan Realm clone would become a significant vulnerability.
If Han Li took away the Divine Yuan Realm clone, its participation would become meaningless. If he didn’t take it away, the arriving Sacred Land Masters would likely probe into the clone’s background.
After all, a succession of Tongxuan Realm Loose Cultivators appearing one after another would put the Sacred Land Masters on high alert.
The outside world is currently far from peaceful, with some disturbance happening in Qianyuan Divine Province due to Han Li.
The Penglai Immortal Sect’s Fairy Lingshuang was kidnapped, and the old Master View Sea is outraged, investigating various leads to find the mysterious Tongxuan Realm powerhouse who tricked him before, suspecting it to be an act of revenge from the same person.
Although Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang of Myriad Demon Mountain doesn’t get along with Master View Sea, he is also making considerable efforts, as the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing from his mountain was also abducted. They suspect it to be the work of the same Tongxuan Realm powerhouse.
The female Bodhisattva from Xumi Mountain is still fuming with anger. That day, not only did Han Li kill Xumi Mountain’s Arhat of Joy, but he also dared to tease her in Beiming and attempted an ambush. This had made her bear a grudge.
She mobilized resources from Xumi Mountain to investigate, starting with the Arhat of Joy to identify any major enemies he had and if there was any chance that someone had covertly reached the Tongxuan Realm.
That mysterious Tongxuan Realm powerhouse did not severely harm any other Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors that day, only going out of his way to kill the Arhat of Joy. There had to be an underlying reason.
Upon inquiry, the female Bodhisattva learned that the Arhat of Joy had not said anything amiss; there were no conflicts with that mysterious Tongxuan Realm powerhouse. It was more likely an old grudge.
However, after investigating, the female Bodhisattva found no suspects. All enemies of the Arhat of Joy were ruled out, without any case against them.
Most of the Arhat of Joy’s enemies were dead, and the highest level among the living cultivators was at the early stages of the Divine Yuan Realm, from different Sacred Lands and without opportunity for wrongdoing.
Analyzing over and over, the female Bodhisattva had a flash of insight. Coupling that with her embarrassing experience in Beiming, she felt that the mysterious Tongxuan Realm powerhouse was likely targeting her.
He intentionally killed the Arhat of Joy, used a strand of Primordial Spirit light to lure her into Beiming, and set a trap, only withdrawing when he saw the timing was off.
She had carried two imperial weapons with her at the time and covertly communicated with Dao Jun, the Demon Lord, the Barbarian Lord, among other Sacred Land Masters, asking them to arrive later.
Otherwise, the likes of Dao Jun, Demon Lord, Barbarian Lord, and Master View Sea, all Tongxuan Realm powerhouses, would not be calmly chatting in Dangyang Mountain. It was all merely a tactic, foiled only because Han Li sensed something was wrong and retreated in time.
After eliminating other possibilities, the female Bodhisattva was convinced of her conclusion; the likelihood was too great.
First, the abductor kidnapped the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing from Myriad Demon Mountain and then kidnapped Fairy Lingshuang from Penglai Immortal Sect, both Divine Yuan Realm female cultivators. It was only natural to target her next.
The female Bodhisattva held a uniquely high status in Qianyuan Divine Province, being the only Tongxuan Realm female cultivator, with extraordinary grace and stunning appearance.
