159: Chapter 159 Han Ming's Decision
"You're welcome. Are you going to continue your training, or are you heading back now?"
Han Chunming did not reveal his identity and looked at the group calmly.
"W-we want to go back now."
The group still looked terrified; how could they have any heart for training?
The impact of today's events was simply too great for them.
Not to mention almost being killed by Li Tianci, they had also witnessed a battle between Martial Saint-level powerhouses.
"Hmm, this is the depths of the mountain range and it's too dangerous. Let me escort you to the outer perimeter!"
Han Ming nodded.
Without waiting for their agreement, he waved his hand, and the Space Profound Truth enveloped the women, causing them to disappear instantly.
Soon, several figures appeared on the outer edge of the Black Wind Mountain Range.
"Alright, it's safe here. You can head back on your own!"
Han Ming set the women down and flew toward Modu Base City.
Lin Xiaoxiao and the others watched Han Ming's retreating figure with complex expressions.
There was admiration, longing, and a hint of affection that even they could barely perceive.
"Dad, Tianci's life tablet has shattered!"
At the Li Family, Li Weifeng arrived at Li Beixiong's study, his Face grim as he spoke.
"What? Tianci's life tablet has shattered?"
Li Beixiong exclaimed, standing up with an extremely gloomy expression.
His Qi surged, instantly turning everything in the study into powder.
They knew exactly what a shattered life tablet meant.
"Where is Tianci's life tablet?"
Li Beixiong's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Li Weifeng and asked.
Veins bulged on his forehead; he was clearly enraged to the extreme.
Li Weifeng endured the pressure emanating from his father and took out the jade tablet that had shattered into several pieces.
"Damn it! Who dares to kill my grandson, Li Beixiong's grandson! I will tear him into ten thousand pieces..."
Looking at the shattered jade tablet in his hand, Li Beixiong roared in anger, releasing his Three-Star Martial Saint aura without reservation.
He sensed the lingering aura on the jade tablet, tore through the Void Realm, and stepped out.
Following the guidance of the aura on the life tablet, he headed to the place where Li Tianci last appeared.
"What kind of madness is Li Beixiong up to now?"
In Modu Base City, many powerhouses felt the Martial Saint aura radiating from Li Beixiong and cast curious glances.
Han Ming returned to Modu Martial Arts University and had just taken out his phone when he received a message.
It was sent by his Great-Grandfather, Han Tianlin.
Asking him to go back for a visit.
"Great-Grandfather, did you call for me?"
Soon, Han Ming returned to the Han Family and entered Han Tianlin's study.
"Hmm, from now on, do not use the identity of Han Chunming again."
Han Tianlin nodded and explained how Deputy Director Shen Jinghong of the Recruitment Department had issued a Void Battlefield conscription order to Han Chunming.
"Shen Jinghong..."
After hearing his Great-Grandfather's account, Han Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he had intended to go to the Void Battlefield for training, being schemed against like this was still very unpleasant.
"Great-Grandfather, what's the situation with this Shen Jinghong? Why is he targeting our Han Family?"
He had no prior contact with this Shen Jinghong and didn't understand why he would scheme against him, so he looked at Han Tianlin curiously.
"It must be a scheme by the Li Family..."
Han Tianlin recounted what he had investigated regarding the meeting between Patriarch Li Beicang and Shen Jinghong.
"The Li Family again..."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Han Ming's eyes.
It seemed that the Li Family felt threatened by him and had already begun using unscrupulous means.
However, although the Li Family deserved to die, this Shen Jinghong could not be let off either.
"Great-Grandfather, what is Shen Jinghong's strength? What other people are in his Family?"
Thinking of this, Han Ming looked at Han Tianlin and asked.
"What? Do you want to cause trouble for Shen Jinghong?"
Han Tianlin glanced at Han Ming, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "Shen Jinghong is the Deputy Director of the Modu Recruitment Department, and he is also the younger brother of the head of the Jinling Shen Family, with the cultivation of a Four-Star Martial Saint."
"The Jinling Shen Family is no weaker than our Magic City Han Family; in fact, they are even stronger. The Shen Family's Old Ancestor, Shen Wanjun, has the cultivation of a Peak Martial Saint and was among the first batch of powerhouses to begin Cultivating when Spiritual Qi returned to Blue Planet."
Seeing a look of unwillingness on Han Ming's Face, Han Tianlin continued:
"Alright, just focus on your Cultivation. We have our own arrangements for Shen Jinghong."
"Yes, Great-Grandfather. Then when should I go to the Void Battlefield?"
Han Ming bowed to him and continued to ask.
He was now an Eight-Star Martial Venerable, and his power of rules had reached Perfection; it wouldn't be long before he broke through to Martial Saint.
To bind Geniuses of higher Realms, he could only go to the Void Battlefield.
He had thought about binding his Great-Grandfather, Han Tianlin, after breaking through to Martial Saint, but after considering it, he gave up on the idea.
He was only a Seven-Star Martial Saint now; even if he gave him the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture to Cultivate, who knew how long it would take for him to break through to Martial God.
It would be better to directly bind a Peak Martial Saint, as he could see results very quickly.
"You want to go to the Void Battlefield?"
Han Tianlin frowned upon hearing this.
In his view, although Han Ming had the strength to kill a Five-Star Martial Venerable, going to the Void Battlefield was still too dangerous.
There were also people from the Li Family and the Thousand Kill Tower eyeing him covetously.
"Yes! Besides, since the Alliance has already issued the conscription order, we can't just disobey it, can we?"
Han Ming nodded.
Besides wanting to go to the Void Battlefield, he didn't want to give up his Han Chunming persona.
"Fine, but you cannot go using the identity of Han Chunming. You have the thousand illusion mask; I will arrange another identity for you."
Han Tianlin looked at Han Ming steadily for a few seconds. Seeing that he truly wanted to go to the Void Battlefield, he said.
In his view, with Han Ming's strength, as long as he didn't attract the attention of the Li Family and the Thousand Kill Tower, surviving in the Void Battlefield wouldn't be difficult.
As long as one served for three years in the Void Battlefield, one could consume military merits to apply to return.
In the Void Legion, military merit was everything, just like the points in Modu Martial Arts University.
Exchanging for various resources required military merit, and the way to obtain military merit was very simple: complete missions and kill exotic beasts.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Great-Grandfather."
Seeing that he spoke seriously, Han Ming knew he was doing it for his own good, so he agreed.
"Damn it, the damned Han Family, the damned Han Tianlin!"
Upon returning to the Recruitment Department, the more Shen Jinghong thought about it, the angrier he became, and he smashed the desk in front of him with a single palm.
As the dignified young master of the Shen Family, no one had ever dared to show him such a lack of Face since he was a child.
"Director Liu, this Han Family clearly does not take the Alliance's conscription order seriously. We must report this to the Alliance and have the people from the Inspection Department hold the Han Family accountable."
Shen Jinghong didn't even knock on the door; he walked straight into Director Liu Xingyun's office and said with a gloomy expression.
Director Liu Xingyun frowned slightly as he watched Shen Jinghong push the door open and walk in without knocking.
This Shen Jinghong usually relied on his status as part of the Shen Family and never took him, his superior, seriously. Although he was displeased, he still asked:
"What did the Han Family say?"
He didn't think the Han Family would be foolish enough to defy the Alliance's conscription order.
"Hmph, that old thing Han Tianlin said the Han Family doesn't have a Han Chunming and told me to look elsewhere. Isn't this obviously defying the Alliance's conscription?"
Shen Jinghong snorted coldly and repeated what Han Tianlin had said.
Thinking about how Han Tianlin not only injured him but also told him to get lost, he was furious.
He wished he could bring people from the Alliance Inspection Department to the Han Family to cause trouble.
However, reporting to the Inspection Department was the right of Director Liu Xingyun, so he could only come to him.
"Is there a possibility that what Han Tianlin said is true?"
Director Liu Xingyun gave Shen Jinghong a strange look, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
What an idiot; this is Modu, not Jinling.
"Impossible! Who doesn't know that Han Chunming claimed to be a member of the Magic City Han Family at the Ten Thousand Monster Ridge Pass?"
Shen Jinghong retorted loudly.
"Oh? Then did the Han Family admit it? Is the name Han Chunming on the Han Family's Family register? I could also claim to be a member of the Kyoto Liu Family; does that mean I really am one?"
Director Liu Xingyun's eyes flashed with disdain. He looked at him as if looking at a retard and continued to ask rhetorically.
"You—Hmph!"
Shen Jinghong's Face turned red and white, his aura fluctuating violently. He pointed at Director Liu Xingyun in exasperation but couldn't say anything. He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left the office.
Director Liu Xingyun's look, as if watching a clown, and those words were like sharp knives stabbing into his heart.
But he had no choice; he knew what Director Liu Xingyun said was the truth.
He simply couldn't do anything about the Han Family.
