193: Chapter 193 Reactions from Various Parties
"Father, are you... alright?"
As soon as Martial God Han Qingcang returned to the Han Family, Han Tianlin led a group of Elders to greet him, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
They had witnessed the scene where Martial God Han Qingcang fought one against two and was forced to retreat step by step.
At this moment, many of the experts who had come to the Han Family to offer congratulations had not yet left, and their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at Martial God Han Qingcang.
Although Martial God Han Qingcang had lost while fighting one against two, he had indeed defeated Martial God Huang Batian, a veteran Martial God expert.
"I am fine, just minor injuries!"
Martial God Han Qingcang waved his hand. As long as a Martial God expert did not damage their Divine Soul, physical injuries were nothing; their powerful vitality could even allow for the regeneration of severed limbs.
Of course, this required consuming a vast amount of vitality and would shorten one's lifespan.
Martial God Han Qingcang then looked at Jiang Feng, the City Guard commander who had not yet left, "Commander Jiang, here are two billion High-Grade Spirit Stones. This is compensation from me for the losses suffered by Modu Base City during this battle."
As he spoke, he took out the Storage Ring that Lin Canghai had given him and handed it to Jiang Feng.
Of course, the three stalks of Spirit Medicine inside had already been moved.
"Martial God Han, you are too kind, this..."
Jiang Feng looked at the Storage Ring, not daring to take it for a moment.
Two billion High-Grade Spirit Stones was not a small amount.
Although the defensive Formation of Modu Base City was severely damaged, it didn't require that many Spirit Stones for repairs.
"Take it!"
With a wave of Martial God Han Qingcang's hand, the Storage Ring slowly landed in his hand.
"The defensive Formation of the base city was destroyed because of me, so the cost of repairs should naturally be borne by my Han Family. If there is any surplus, distribute it to the commoners whose houses were damaged."
Looking at the Storage Ring in his hand, Jiang Feng bowed deeply to Martial God Han Qingcang: "Martial God Han is righteous. On behalf of the commoners of Modu Base City, I thank you, Martial God Han."
Others watching this scene felt even more awe toward Martial God Han Qingcang.
Even if he hadn't taken the initiative to compensate, no one would have dared to say anything, and those who suffered losses would just have to accept their bad luck.
But for a dignified Martial God to still think of offering compensation, they couldn't help but admire him.
Martial God Han Qingcang waved his hand and said nothing more.
Glancing at the buildings of the Han Family that were mostly damaged, he said to Han Tianlin: "Tianlin, you arrange the reconstruction of the Han Family. Ten days from now, I will head to the Void Battlefield. During the time I am away, the entire Han Family must keep a low profile and not be ostentatious."
Although he had reached the Breakthrough to Martial God, the Void Summoning Order brought out by Deputy Director Shen Jinghong had no effect on him.
However, it was currently Modu Base City's turn to guard the Void Realm rift, and he had to go.
Rotations happened every five years, and three years had already passed, meaning he only needed to go and guard for two years before he could return.
Han Tianlin nodded: "Rest assured, Father, Tianlin understands."
Martial God Han Qingcang nodded to the crowd, and his figure instantly vanished.
He needed to use the few stalks of Spirit Medicine he had to comprehend the Metal Rule to Perfection.
Those who came to offer congratulations did not stay long either, bidding farewell to Han Tianlin and leaving the Han Family.
As these people dispersed.
Soon, news that Martial God Han Qingcang of the Magic City Han Family, who had just achieved a Breakthrough to Martial God, had heavily defeated the veteran Martial God, Martial God Huang Batian.
And that he had fought one against two, battling two veteran Martial Gods, Martial God Huang Batian and Lin Canghai, without falling into a disadvantage, shook the entire Great Xia Alliance once again.
The name Martial God Han Qingcang became the focus of heated discussion in every major base city.
The prestige of the Magic City Han Family was pushed to an unprecedented height.
"Father, I didn't expect you to have already taken that step; even Martial God Batian is no match for you. I must work harder too!"
In the backyard of the Han Family in Jiangbei Base City, Han Tianxiong looked toward the direction of Modu, clenching his fists slightly as he muttered.
His eyes were very complex.
There was guilt, pride, longing, and finally, a flash of confident radiance.
Possessing the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, and after more than half a year of Cultivate without a shortage of resources, he had now broken through to a Five-Star Martial Marquis and had even comprehended True Intent.
His combat power was comparable to a Peak Martial Marquis; in Jiangbei, he could already be considered an expert.
Kyoto, Huang Family.
Martial God Huang Batian sat on the main seat in the main hall, his Face livid.
There was still a shallow, charred scar on his chest, left by Martial God Han Qingcang's thunder.
The injury was not serious, but the humiliation was deep.
"Father, are we just going to let it go?"
Huang Lifeng stood below, a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, "Martial God Han Qingcang beat me into a serious injury and humiliated you in public. If we don't retaliate, where will the Huang Family's Face go?"
As he spoke, he aggravated his internal injuries, coughing a few times, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his Face turning pale.
Martial God Huang Batian glanced at him coldly: "Isn't it all your fault? Why did you go and provoke him for no reason?"
"It was he who didn't give me Face first."
Huang Lifeng choked, lowered his head, and defended himself in a low voice.
Besides, who knew he would break through to Martial God so quickly?
"Although Martial God Han Qingcang just broke through, you saw it yourself; his strength is not below mine."
"You should stop being the Modu City Lord. Come back and properly go into seclusion to Cultivate, digest the Breakthrough insights I gave you, and break through to Martial God as soon as possible."
"If you want revenge, strength is the foundation."
Martial God Huang Batian didn't blame him further, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked at Huang Lifeng, saying seriously.
"Yes, Father!"
Huang Lifeng nodded, a flash of unyielding spirit and killing intent in his eyes.
"Father, is Martial God Han Qingcang really that strong? Fighting one against two against you and Martial God Batian without falling into a disadvantage?"
Jinling Lin Family, Lin Family Head Lin Xuanxiao asked, looking at Lin Canghai.
His own father was a genuine Two-Star Martial God; how could a newly broken-through Martial God expert be his father's match?
"Hmm, Martial God Han Qingcang's strength is indeed not weak. Although he is no match for the combined efforts of myself and Martial God Huang Batian, he has already achieved Fusion of three types of Rule powers, and his strength is not below mine."
Lin Canghai nodded, a trace of gravity flashing on his Face, and recounted Martial God Han Qingcang's situation.
"Hiss... is it actually true?"
Lin Xuanxiao gasped, surprised.
He had thought it was just hearsay; he didn't expect it to be true.
As a veteran Peak Martial Saint expert, he naturally knew Martial God Han Qingcang and had even had interactions with him before.
"Hmm, give orders to have our Lin Family try our best to be on good terms with the Han Family; it would be best if we could arrange a marriage alliance."
"Martial God Han Qingcang has already achieved Fusion of three types of Rule powers. Breaking through to Three-Star Martial God is just a matter of time; his potential is immeasurable."
Lin Canghai nodded and said seriously to Lin Xuanxiao.
"Yes, Father."
Lin Xuanxiao nodded and withdrew.
"Ah... Father, I am already a cripple. You must avenge me! I want to kill Martial God Han Qingcang and destroy the Han Family."
At the same time, in the meeting hall of the Jinling Shen Family, the atmosphere was very heavy.
Deputy Director Shen Jinghong, with gray hair and a Face full of wrinkles, slumped in his chair, looking at the middle-aged man in the main seat, screaming in pain.
His eyes were full of despair and resentment.
"Shut up!"
The middle-aged man at the head of the table had a gloomy Face, glared with wide eyes, and shouted loudly.
Deputy Director Shen Jinghong felt a powerful pressure attacking him and instantly shut his mouth, a flash of fear in his eyes.
"Trash, Martial God Han Qingcang has already achieved a Breakthrough to Martial God, and even Martial God Huang Batian is no match for him. Are you trying to get me killed, to get the Shen Family killed?"
Seeing him shut up, Shen Wanjun glared at him again and scolded.
What an idiot. Does he not know his own worth?
For over ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, he dared to provoke a Peak Martial Saint expert.
Although he had broken through to Peak Martial Saint decades before Martial God Han Qingcang, he wouldn't dare say his strength could steadily defeat him.
Not to mention that he had now broken through to Martial God.
What does his Shen Family have to take revenge with?
Others also looked at him with eyes as if looking at an idiot.
Deputy Director Shen Jinghong slumped dejectedly to the ground.
His eyes instantly lost their luster.
That's right!
Martial God Han Qingcang had already broken through to Martial God; what did he have to take revenge with?
Even if his father had a Breakthrough, it was impossible for him to offend a Martial God for his sake.
"Enough, Jingtao, take him down, help him repair his Dantian. As for what Realm he can recover to in the future, that's up to him."
Seeing him like this, Shen Wanjun waved his hand and said to a middle-aged man below.
"Yes, Father."
Shen Jingtao stood up, bowed respectfully to Shen Wanjun, and took Deputy Director Shen Jinghong away.
"Father, are we really just going to let it go?"
Seeing that the two had left, a middle-aged man asked, looking toward Shen Wanjun at the head.
A flash of unwillingness in his eyes.
He was the current head of the Shen Family—Shen Jinglei, who also possessed the strength of a Peak Martial Saint.
Their Shen Family was also a top-tier major Family in the Great Xia Alliance; when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
If their Martial Saint expert was crippled and their Shen Family remained indifferent, how would others view their Shen Family?
"Sigh... and what if we don't let it go? Can you be Martial God Han Qingcang's match, or can I be Martial God Han Qingcang's match?"
Shen Wanjun's straight posture sank slightly, and he sighed, looking as if he had aged several years, "Jinglei, you go to Modu on my behalf tomorrow, bring heavy gifts, and apologize to the Han Family on behalf of Jinghong."
"Yes, Father."
A flash of humiliation crossed Shen Jinglei's eyes; having one's Family member crippled and still having to go and apologize.
However, the situation was stronger than the people, and he could only swallow his broken teeth.
