164: Chapter 164 The Li Family's Strong Sense of Urgency
After the battle just now, he had a rough understanding of his current Peak combat power.
If he went all out, he should be able to kill an ordinary Three-Star Martial Venerable, though he was slightly inferior to a Four-Star Martial Venerable, and if he encountered a Five-Star Martial Venerable, he would only have the option to flee.
In fact, he had really wanted to use his Great-grandfather's jade talisman just now, activate the Great-grandfather's Divine Thought inside, and kill Li Beishan.
But after thinking about it, he gave up on that idea.
Li Beishan's life was not worth wasting this precious jade talisman.
Once he achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Saint, not to mention Li Beishan, even their Family head, Patriarch Li Beicang, might not be his match.
"Master? What is this place?" After they chatted for a few more sentences, Gong Shuting looked at Han Ming and asked curiously.
"This is a large Secret Realm of space that I have refined. If you encounter danger, you can teleport inside," Han Ming explained.
He did not tell her too much, but this was already enough to shock her.
"What? A Secret Realm can be refined?" Gong Shuting exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
As a Disciple of Vice Principal Ouyang Hai of Modu Martial Arts University, she was not some ignorant novice.
She had never heard of a Secret Realm space that could be refined.
At most, a passage would be opened, occupied by a certain force, and the Secret Realm would be used as their base camp!
This was the first time she had heard of someone like Han Ming, who could refine a Secret Realm and teleport into it at any time.
"Hmm, this is a dragon blood soul fruit. You can Cultivate in the Secret Realm for a period of time."
Han Ming thought for a moment and took out a dragon blood soul fruit to hand to her; it was exactly one of those he had previously given to Li Feifan and received back as feedback.
After giving one to Gong Shuting, he still had two left in his hand.
He could give one to Li Xuewei and Han Qingyue later.
Like Gong Shuting, they had only consumed one, so the dragon blood soul fruit would still be very effective for them.
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Gong Shuting did not refuse either; she had already taken so many resources from her Master that she didn't mind taking one more dragon blood soul fruit.
At the same time, she wondered if the dragon blood soul fruit that Han Ming had given her and Li Xuewei previously was also provided by her Master?
Han Ming did not know if Li Beishan had left, and he was not in a hurry to go out. He took the girls and teleported back to the villa next to the spirit spring.
"There are Cultivation rooms in the villa. Go find one and Cultivate!" Back at the villa, Han Ming said to Gong Shuting.
"Yes, Master." Gong Shuting replied respectfully and went to Cultivate.
"Young Master, why don't you engage in Dual Cultivation with Yinshuang and Mingyue? Their primordial yin is still intact, and Dual Cultivation with them can also rapidly improve your strength." Seeing Gong Shuting leave, Ji Lingyue pulled Han Ming's arm and suggested.
Although Han Ming had not been injured just now, she had been incredibly worried.
She hoped that her Young Master could improve his strength as soon as possible.
Seeing their Princess say this, Ji Yinshuang and Ji Mingyue's shy faces flushed red. They secretly glanced at Han Ming and then quickly lowered their heads.
They knew that such a day would come sooner or later and had long been prepared.
Moreover, they were not very averse to Dual Cultivation with Han Ming; on the contrary, they were faintly looking forward to it in their hearts.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about my affairs. I know what I'm doing." Han Ming tapped Ji Lingyue on the head and said crossly.
However, he still couldn't help but glance at the two shy girls.
There were very few ugly women in the Fox Clan, and Ji Yinshuang and Ji Mingyue were no exception. Their figures were exquisite, and their skin was snow-white and delicate enough to be broken by a blow.
They were like ripe peaches, making one want to go up and take a bite.
As he spoke, Han Ming walked out of the villa. With a wave of his hand, the more than two billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones that the System had fed back from Li Xuewei and Gong Shuting appeared instantly.
They piled up into a small mountain outside the villa.
"Shatter." Following Han Ming's low shout, all the Spirit Stones instantly shattered and turned into powder.
The dense Spiritual Qi quickly dissipated and merged into every corner of the Cave Heaven World.
The Spiritual Qi inside the Cave Heaven World began to become dense at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Especially around the villa, spirit mist swirled, resembling a fairyland on earth.
"Not bad, the Spiritual Qi is much denser than before." Feeling the Spiritual Qi around the villa, which was even denser than in the school's Heaven Rank Cultivation room, Han Ming nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Lingyue and the others were also shocked by Han Ming's operation, even though this was not the first time.
This was over two billion Spirit Stones!
Although they were experts at the Martial Emperor level and had high status in the Silver Moon Fox Clan, they had never had so many Spirit Stones before.
Their hearts were filled with admiration for Han Ming.
"Alright, I'm going to go into closed-door Cultivation as well. Don't disturb me unless it's important." After finishing all this, Han Ming clapped his hands and said to Ji Lingyue and the others.
He intended to comprehend the Space Profound Truth. One percent of the Space Profound Truth was fine for dealing with Martial Venerable experts, but when facing the Rule power of Martial Saint experts, one percent of the Space Profound Truth was no different from paper.
"Yes, Young Master." The few of them looked at each other and said respectfully.
Han Ming entered a Cultivation room, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes. His mind instantly merged with the Cave Heaven World, feeling every inch of change in the Cave Heaven World.
It was as if he had become a part of space, and his comprehension of space began to improve rapidly.
...
"Big Brother, I failed." On the other side, Li Beishan returned to the Li Family. Just as he entered Patriarch Li Beicang's study, he said with an ugly expression.
"What? You failed? Could it be that the Han Family sent experts to protect him?" Patriarch Li Beicang stood up in surprise upon hearing this.
He knew his brother's strength better than anyone. Could he fail to intercept a mere Martial Venerable?
"No, this Han Chunming is hiding too deeply. He actually possesses the strength of an Eight-Star Martial Venerable, and he has also comprehended the Metal Rule and Thunder Rule. His combat power is comparable to a Four-Star Martial Saint, and he managed to escape."
Li Beishan recounted what happened just now with a gloomy expression, and then said seriously: "This Han Chunming is truly too much of a Prodigy; he will inevitably become a major threat to our Li Family in the future."
"How is that possible? An Eight-Star Martial Venerable who has also comprehended two types of Rule power and has combat power comparable to a Four-Star Martial Saint?" Patriarch Li Beicang opened his mouth wide in shock. If the person saying this hadn't been his own brother, Li Beishan, he would have called that person crazy.
An Eight-Star Martial Venerable has already comprehended Rule power? How is that possible!
Even if Han Chunming were a hidden old monster, this shouldn't be possible!
Who isn't delayed in making a Breakthrough because they can't comprehend rules?
This Han Chunming, on the other hand, has already comprehended two rules as an Eight-Star Martial Venerable.
Moreover, an Eight-Star Martial Venerable possessing the combat power of a Four-Star Martial Saint means that his degree of comprehension of the rules is not low. Perhaps he has already reached Perfection.
After the shock came fear. Since Han Chunming might have already comprehended the Rule power to Perfection, reaching Peak Martial Saint was only a matter of time.
Regardless of whether Han Chunming was a member of the Han Family, they had offended him to death, and this Han Chunming would inevitably become a major threat to their Li Family.
"Beishan, tell all the Martial Saint Elders of the Li Family to find Han Chunming and kill him at all costs. I am going to report this matter to Father."
Thinking of this, Patriarch Li Beicang looked at Li Beishan with a grave expression and instructed him. After speaking, without waiting for Li Beishan to reply, his figure disappeared instantly, and he rushed anxiously toward Li Cangqiong's residence.
"Father, our Li Family may be in trouble." Patriarch Li Beicang had just arrived at the small courtyard where Li Cangqiong was located when he said this hurriedly. His expression was unprecedentedly grave.
"Oh? What happened to make you so anxious?" Li Cangqiong had originally intended to scold him, but seeing his expression so serious, he couldn't help but become curious.
His son was, after all, a Six-Star Martial Saint and the head of a top Family in Magic City; it was truly rare for anything to make him this flustered.
"The situation is this…" Patriarch Li Beicang told Li Cangqiong the whole story from beginning to end.
He started from when Han Chunming revealed his strength as a Peak Martial King and claimed to be from the Magic City Han Family, to his own people being wiped out when sent to intercept him, and then hiring assassins from the Thousand Kill Tower, only for Han Chunming to reveal his Martial Emperor strength and kill the Thousand Kill Tower Martial Venerable in reverse.
Then, he went on to his collusion with Deputy Director Shen Jinghong of the Recruitment Department to try and conscript Han Chunming to the Void Battlefield to kill him there.
Finally, he recounted how the Han Family denied that Han Chunming was a member of the Han Family, causing the plan to fail, and ending with the interception by Li Beishan just now, where Han Chunming displayed the strength of an Eight-Star Martial Venerable, potentially comprehended two types of Rule power, possessed the combat power of a Four-Star Martial Saint, and escaped from Li Beishan's hands. He told everything in detail.
After listening, Li Cangqiong's expression was also unprecedentedly grave. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the stone table, and after a long while, he looked at Patriarch Li Beicang and said: "Alright, I understand. Do as you just said; find Han Chunming and kill him at all costs. If necessary, I will take action personally."
"Yes, Father." Hearing his father's words, Patriarch Li Beicang breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew.
"Han Chunming…" Watching Patriarch Li Beicang's departing back, a dangerous light flashed in Li Cangqiong's eyes.
It had been a long time since anyone had brought him such an intense sense of urgency; he hadn't expected a Han Chunming to pop up now.
