Originally, he had planned to leave once the Daqian Empire collapsed or when Zhenxiong’s elder ancestor died. The chaos within the collapsing Daqian Empire would facilitate his actions, allowing him to seize the empire’s thousands of years of accumulated essence. By seizing even just a portion, his chances of cultivating to the True Martial Realm would greatly increase.

After the arrival of Li Feiyu, a True Martial Realm powerhouse, the Daqian State Preceptor’s resolve hardened even further.

Having an additional True Martial Realm presence to ensure the peace of the Daqian Empire for four hundred years was indeed a blessing. However, the issue lay with the fact that this True Martial Realm Emperor Wu had a fondness for the company of women and took concubines too frequently.

For now, Li Feiyu’s attention was still focused on the maidens with untouched beauty, but in a few years, those in the capital with decent aptitude and maidenhood intact would be taken as his servant concubines.

At that point, it was likely that Li Feiyu would set his eyes on the wives and beautiful matrons, targeting them first among the imperial nobility and even within the Daqian Empire.

Because of their high cultivation and status, the quality of the wives they took and the concubines they accepted was also very high.

Take the State Preceptor for example—he had two wives and five beautiful concubines, with aptitudes between fifth and sixth grade, and cultivations ranging from late Gangyuan Realm to the initial stage of the Hollow Void Realm.

The standards by which the Master of the Li Manor took concubines happened to be quite similar to this, and just the thought was enough to distress the State Preceptor.

The arrival of Li Feiyu not only spoiled his plans but might also bring him a vast stretch of green grassland. After some consideration, the State Preceptor decided to sever ties with the Daqian Empire sooner rather than later.

He only shared this decision with his two wives and four disciples. He could forsake five beautiful concubines, but not his wives, with whom he shared deep affection; the four disciples were his capable assistants, one at the peak of the God Refining Realm and three Gurus in the Void Realm.

“Sigh~”

Yu Chengkong and the second disciple sighed. They were reluctant to leave the prosperity of the capital city, but with the master’s decision made, they could only agree.

“Boom!”

A loud explosion sounded, causing the State Preceptor and his four disciples to change color simultaneously as they sensed that the protective formation of their manor was under attack.

This was the capital city of the Daqian Empire, where two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus were stationed, not far from the Mentor’s Manor. Who would be bold enough to do this?

Swish, swish~

The state preceptor and Yu Chengkong vanished from the secret chamber, their expressions somber as they looked outside. When they clearly saw who was approaching, their faces drastically changed.

“Grand Ancestor Li, what are you doing? Stop immediately!” the State Preceptor cried out in shock and horror. While activating the great formation to defend, he shouted loudly.

A bright sword light slashed across, shattering the protective formation. The State Preceptor and his four disciples didn’t dare resist and scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.

Though unsure why Li Feiyu sought to attack the Mentor’s Manor, they knew that fighting a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu was a suicidal path and decided to escape first, discuss later.

Han Li, indifferent to the pleas, pointed his finger as if it were a sword. The sword light dove like a dragon, directly shattering the Daqian State Preceptor. With another palm strike, he obliterated Yu Chengkong, who died instantly.

Following that, he flicked his fingers twice, killing the State Preceptor’s First Disciple and second disciple. Reaching out, he captured Li Na, the fourth disciple of the State Preceptor who had fled into the distance, and sealed all of her cultivation.

He had intended to exterminate the entire line of the State Preceptor, but upon discovering a beautiful woman among them, he spared her life.

After finishing these acts, Han Li glanced at the Imperial Palace, holding onto Li Na as he disappeared from the Mentor’s Manor and returned to Li Mansion.

Casually tossing Li Na to a maid to take away with several instructions, Han Li appeared atop the Chong Xiao Pavilion and looked towards the Imperial Palace, deep in thought.

Chu Zhenxiong had not made a move!

The reason Han Li boldly went to slaughter the State Preceptor’s line was also to test Chu Zhenxiong’s intentions and to discover how Chu Zhenxiong was plotting his reincarnation and whether he was indeed Chu Dingqian or not.

Now, Han Li felt that the grey-clothed elder was very likely Chu Dingqian.

His attack on the Mentor’s Manor had utilized True Martial Realm combat ability, alarming the entire six states of Daqian. It took him only a breath or two to kill the State Preceptor and others, yet Chu Dingqian had not appeared despite the close proximity of the Mentor’s Manor to the Imperial Palace.

This indicated that Chu Dingqian was preoccupied within the palace and unable to intervene in time. Han Li wanted to know more about Chu Dingqian’s current state—could he appear again, or had he already been reincarnated?

Meanwhile, the capital city was in turmoil due to the sudden battle, with many important Daqian officials rushing to the Imperial Palace to seek an audience.

The Grand Preceptor, the Left Chancellor, the Prophet, and others stood in Chao Tian Hall, still feeling the aftereffects of danger. They were not sure why Li Feiyu, the old ancestor, had suddenly gone mad, attacking and killing the lineage of the State Preceptor. They were very concerned that they might follow in the footsteps of the State Preceptor.

“Devil incarnate!”

“The State Preceptor didn’t provoke him, did he? For no reason at all, he slew the Preceptor’s lineage. He must give us an explanation.”

“How detestable. My manor is not far from the State Preceptor’s, and it was almost affected by the aftermath.”

“This is too terrifying—the State Preceptor was at the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, yet without even drawing his sword, Li Feiyu killed him with a mere flick of his fingers.”

Several important ministers of Da Qian vented their dissatisfaction, not worried about Li Feiyu discovering them, as the grand formation of the Imperial Palace had been activated, making it impossible for Li Feiyu to glimpse inside.

Emperor Qian was also in Chao Tian Hall, listening quietly. He knew these people needed to vent, and after a while, he said, “My lords, do not worry. I have already reported to the old ancestor, and he will seek out Li Feiyu to obtain an explanation.”

Emperor Qian silently sighed in his heart, feeling extremely powerless, for he had already detected Li Feiyu’s actions at the time they occurred.

He did not dare to intervene, and immediately went to the core forbidden area to inform Chu Zhenxiong, the old ancestor, who had now gone to find Li Feiyu.

“I hope for a good outcome,” Emperor Qian thought silently to himself.

At the ninth floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the figures of Han Li and Chu Dingqian appeared; neither of them wanted to go back to their respective strongholds and thus chose this place.

However, their expressions were completely different—Han Li was all smiles, clearheaded and in high spirits, whereas Chu Dingqian’s face was gloomy, filled with anger.

“What business does Chu have with Han?”

Seeing the furious Chu Dingqian, Han Li spoke indifferently.

“Doesn’t Han plan on giving Chu an explanation?” Chu Dingqian said coldly, his anger unabated.

He had been in suspended animation in the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace, waiting for the Devil Fetus to mature, leaving Li Feiyu in charge of guarding Da Qian. Yet, in such a short time, Li Feiyu had given him quite the shock.

An action from the True Martial Realm is quite noticeable, and even within the forbidden grounds of the Imperial Palace, Chu Dingqian was awakened. His Spiritual Sense surged out, and he instantly discovered that it was Li Feiyu who was taking action, killing the State Preceptor and his Disciples and abducting a beautiful female cultivator.

However, it took time for him to recover from his special state; by the time his strength returned to its peak, Li Feiyu had already left, and Emperor Qian came running in.

“An explanation? The State Preceptor and his Disciples offended me; what’s wrong with killing them?” Han Li said blandly.

“Is that truly so?” Chu Dingqian continued to inquire, clearly disbelieving.

He was very suspicious of Li Feiyu’s intent—if that was the case, why didn’t he kill everyone? And why take a beautiful female cultivator with him?

Han Li replied, “That’s right.”

“You wouldn’t think I did this for that female cultivator, would you? If Han wanted her, he would’ve simply commanded the State Preceptor to offer her up; there would be no need for such a commotion.”

“Heh,” Chu Dingqian let out a cold laugh, “Let’s not have a repeat, Han.”

With those words, Chu Dingqian’s figure vanished. Li Feiyu had given his explanation, and there was no use in pressing further. Li Feiyu obviously felt secure in his position.

He didn’t want to fall out with Li Feiyu over a State Preceptor, but hoped that Li Feiyu would not continue such actions. Otherwise, he would have to bear the pain of having Li Feiyu killed.

Otherwise, before he could take over and be reborn, Da Qian would be thrown into disarray by Li Feiyu’s actions.

Han Li chuckled, his figure also disappearing from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Chu Zhenxiong was indeed Chu Dingqian; how interesting.

Indeed, he would not do so again. This time was to avenge Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin and incidentally to test Chu Dingqian. Taking the beautiful female cultivator was just by the way.

There were still many lovely ladies in the Mentor’s Manor, seemingly the wives and concubines of the State Preceptor. Although Han Li had noticed them, he was not interested in them; they did not catch his eye, so naturally, he did not take them.

That beautiful female cultivator was a virgin, which is why Han Li conveniently took her back. Moreover, he would not bestow upon her the status of a principal wife; she would be a servant concubine, the kind that satisfies physical desires without involving the heart.
